Chapter 142 Power Forward Contribution Value (Part 1)

Chapter 142 Power Forward Contribution to Winning Percentage (Part [-])

Kobe expressed dissatisfaction, and James also rarely lost his temper and responded to Kobe.

Since entering the league, James has been a representative of players with high EQ. He is very good at talking and doing things, and has many friends in the league.

In the past four or five years, James has rarely clashed with other stars, or even role players.

But this time, James' temper was very big.

Many media reports are:

"James spoke out to defend his younger brother and angered Kobe."

When Qin Yang saw this report, he was a little moved in his heart. James has indeed done a very good job in leading the team.

Communicating with players in a timely manner, giving gifts to maintain relationships, treating guests generously, and rarely throwing blame in the media are all James' strengths.

This season, the Cavaliers have had several crises.

After Qin Yang's rise, the Cavaliers fell apart a bit. The appearances of Qin Yang, Deron Twister, and Mo Williams were somewhat contradictory, which aroused their hostility towards Qin Yang.

All fools can see this.

In the end, James came forward and told the two in private, so that the Cavaliers did not have any hidden dangers.

Later, Qin Yang became a substitute, and the two shared part of the shooting rights, and the Cavaliers were completely stabilized.

This time James helped Qin Yang speak and did a very good job.

But Qin Yang subconsciously had an illusion: "I'm not anyone's younger brother, and I don't need others to protect me." It's just that this thought cannot be expressed, otherwise it would be brain damage.

After reading the newspaper, Qin Yang remained expressionless and continued to train.

Big Z has a good relationship with James, and deliberately gave the newspaper to Qin Yang, and Qin Yang knew what it meant.

Others are good, you have to know.

There was a game yesterday, which was very intense. Today I have to do some recovery training to relieve the pressure on my body, so the training intensity in the afternoon is very low.

It was already afternoon after the training, Qin Yang ate a nutritious meal, and took Lili to leave the training ground.

Outside the stadium, several reporters immediately gathered around.

Most of them are local media, Qin Yang stopped to accept the interview:

"I have no other opinions. I just think LeBron James, not Kobe, is the number one star in the league. I defended Kobe many times in the last game, but I didn't think he was so good. I will single him out in the next game. This is not a joke. You can use it as a statement. If Kobe has the ability, he can compete with me on the court."

Whoa!

Several reporters around were stunned and immediately confirmed the news.

Qin Yang was not polite and repeated it again before leaving.

Back home, Lily looked a little weird, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"You didn't fight Kobe because I was there, did you? Bruce, you are very good, but Kobe seems to be very famous. Is it dangerous for you to do this?"

"What danger?"

"Being beaten, just like the last game, I didn't elbow secretly."

Qin Yang was a little speechless, so he could only explain hastily.

Another day later, the Cavaliers resumed training.

On the 7th, Cleveland, the Cavaliers played against the Lakers at home.

The second game of the finals.

Against the Lakers at home, the Cavaliers are under a lot of pressure in this second game, whether it is the coach or the players.If this game loses again, the Cavaliers will fall behind 0-2 in the game and will almost miss the championship.

Therefore, this game can only be won, not lost.

This is the goal set by Coach Brown.

Game start.

In the first quarter, the lineups of both sides remained unchanged from last time.

The Lakers are still starting with Kobe, Pau Gasol, Bynum, Ariza and Fisher, while the Cavaliers are Big Z, Varejao, James, Delonte West and Mo Williams.

The Lakers successfully jumped the ball without any suspense.

After halftime, Kobe directly stuck for the ball and played singles with the ball. Kobe broke through directly. Delonte West followed very strictly. After Kobe broke through, he passed it to Pau Gasol.

Pau Gasol turns and hits a jumper.

Pau Gasol has always been called a soft guy and has never been recognized by league fans, but from an offensive point of view, Pau Gasol is one of the best power forwards.

The order of power forwards in the league is roughly Duncan, Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, and Pau Gasol.

Among them, Duncan is all-round offensive and defensive, Dirk Nowitzki is the strongest offensively among the four, but weaker in defense, Kevin Garnett is stronger in defense and weaker in offense, and Pau Gasol is stronger in offense and weaker in defense.

There is one league that has the most reliable win share in the playoffs.

Offensive WS values ​​look like this:

Nowitzki 3.8, Duncan 3.3, Pau Gasol 3.2, Kevin Garnett 2.1.

Defensive WS value:

Duncan 2.7, Kevin Garnett 2, Nowitzki 1.6, Pau Gasol 1.3.

This value does not necessarily fully represent the strength of the offensive and defensive ends, because the value is closely related to the performance of the teammates of the team, and cannot be simply evaluated in this way.

But this value has great reference value.

Pau Gasol didn't do a good job of defending empty cuts and inside top defense, but his help defense was excellent, and his offense was only slightly worse than Duncan's.

On the offensive end of the league's power forwards, only Nowitzki is far ahead, and everyone else has to stand back.

At the power forward position, Pau Gasol played Varejao, the advantage is too obvious.

As soon as this pass appeared, Qin Yang felt a little depressed off the court: "This game is going to be difficult again."

The Cavaliers attacked, James and Big Z covered in high positions, James directly attacked the basket, Ariza pressed James hard, and did not give a chance.

Trevor Ariza shoots the ball very hard, but... the defense is really good.

James barely made it to the basket, only to encounter Pau Gasol's help defense.

The two flanked each other, and James had no chance.

Varejao was standing next to him, and James couldn't pass the ball. The two were too close to each other, and it was easy to make mistakes. Varejao's offense was poor, and it was difficult to get a chance at this time.

Mo Williams ran out of space, received a pass from James, and directly provoked the shot.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yang really wanted to go up and beat Mo Williams.

Facing the veteran fisher Fisher, how safe it is to go to shoot the ball and make a direct breakthrough.

Fortunately, the shot was made and the Cavaliers scored.

But the game rhythm and strength of the two sides are obviously not at the same level, and Qin Yang can clearly feel the gap.

James holds the ball, and the tactics of others looking for opportunities to shoot are too blunt and dull.

It's easy for the Lakers to defend.

The Lakers' inside lineup and forward defense are very strong, and it is easy to limit James.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Lakers are really the sufferer of the Cavaliers.

At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers continued to fall behind at home.

Kobe was not too independent. Although the efficiency was not good in the first quarter, only 25%, but he took 4 shots in a single quarter, which had little impact on the Lakers. The Lakers led by 25 points 20-5 by virtue of their overall strength.

This 5-point difference has already come from James' rage.

James shot 9 of 6 in a single quarter, and he didn't play well. It's a pity that the rest of the Cavaliers only scored 7 points.
