Chapter 468: Undefendable Trick

The difference on the big screen was too obvious. Lin Dong also looked at LeBron. Lin Dong had always been paying attention to this historical superstar who had mixed reputations in NBA history and even indirectly caused the decline of the NBA after the 21st century.

Compared with the LeBron in another world, the guy in front of him was stronger and his physical talent was developed to the extreme.

Compared with the cowardly style of play in his previous life and his undisguised pursuit of fame and fortune, this LeBron seemed to be tougher and his foundation was much more solid.

Even his pursuit of fame and fortune was hidden deeper and no longer easily revealed.

Perhaps he still had the same desire for the peak as in his previous life, but a series of blows and different life paths made his choice of the path to the peak somewhat deviate.

Looking at the expression on the big screen where LeBron seemed to be smiling and looking at Lin Dong intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Dong couldn't help but smile.

This LeBron was undoubtedly stronger than the other world, and more than a little stronger, whether in terms of skills or mentality.

If it was me when I first entered the league, if it was me who had not broken through my limits, this LeBron might really become my biggest rival, but now...

Beep!

The referee finally blew the whistle to call both sides to play.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup: Center O'Neal wore his favorite No. 34 jersey, power forward No. 17 Anderson Varejao, small forward No. 0 LeBron James, shooting guard No. 23 Dwyane Wade, point guard No. 5 Jason Kidd.

It is worth mentioning that Varejao is the first-round pick selected by the Cavaliers this year, and he is a first-round pick that fell out of the lottery zone.

The fact that a first-round pick that fell out of the lottery zone can be promoted to such a starting position and partner with these superstars is obviously not because of how strong this rookie is, but because the Cavaliers really have no one on the bench.

Sitting on the bench are role players such as Mike Wilkes, Ira Newbell, Stephen Graham, etc. who can hardly play in important games. There is only one player who can rotate with LeBron, that is Alexander Pavlovich at the 3rd position, who was once Lin Dong's teammate in the international team and was also the first round pick of the Jazz last year.

The lack of a substitute lineup is one of the biggest problems of this Cavaliers team at present. As for the power forward Varejao at the 4th position, who was later called the international actor, he himself does not have superhuman talent. At present, he is far from the level of the actor in the future. He has no chance of winning against Sakuragi Hanamichi, which is obviously the weakest loophole of this Cavaliers.

The starting lineup of the Supersonics: center No. 7 Tyson Chandler, power forward No. 10 Sakuragi Hanamichi, small forward No. 23 Lin Dong, shooting guard No. 9 Iguodala, point guard No. 20 Gary Payton.

The absolutely complete championship lineup, but the same dilemma as the Cavaliers is the depth of the bench. No matter Luke, Murray or Rukawa, in the eyes of the fans, they are obviously not qualified to rotate to this level of the court.

——The regular season is just a tentative match. It is highly likely that neither side will start the five tigers to fight to the end. After all, the risk of injury in the regular season must be considered, so who seizes the opportunity first is particularly important.

When Barkley was speaking in the live broadcast room, Chandler and O'Neal had already stood on the center line at the same time.

With the same height of 216 cm, Chandler has been strictly controlling his weight since his serious injury, not only to prevent the burden on the injured leg tibia, resulting in the risk of secondary cracking, but also to meet the needs of the supersonics' running and gunning tactics.

This makes the two people of the same height look really different in body shape, O'Neal is two circles thicker.

O'Neal had a kind of 'gentleness that was unique to Chandler' towards the guy who was injured by him. He said with a smile: "Hey, boxing champion, what's delicious in Seattle? Take me to try it after the game? I'll pay!"

"Do you want to eat shit?" Chandler never said anything nice to O'Neal: "You don't have to buy it, I'll pay."

"Hahaha!" O'Neal laughed: "Brother, you've become humorous! I don't believe anyone sells this stuff..."

"I sell it, freshly pulled, very fresh!"

Beep!

The referee threw the ball into the air, and while O'Neal was about to speak, Chandler suddenly jumped high.

The distracted O'Neal was obviously half a beat slower, but to be honest, even if he was not half a beat slower, he would probably not be able to jump over the current Chandler in the jump ball. The weight-loss boxing champion is much better at jumping than the constantly weight-gaining Shark.

Bang!

The basketball was slapped in the direction of Lin Dong, and the next second, LeBron blocked it immediately.

Huh!

Wow...

The fans in the stadium, the 40 million fans in the United States who were sitting in front of the TV at this moment, and even the tens of millions of fans in Dragon Country, Japan and other overseas countries, hundreds of millions of people around the world made a sound of surprise at this moment.

LeBron...isn't he the No. 4? He actually chose the No. 3 position, and chose to play against Lin Dong?

He used to be the No. 3 position, but after joining the Cavaliers, he has been playing the No. 4 position, forming a twin tower inside with the Cavaliers' center. Now this is...

It can be seen that LeBron is indeed much stronger than last season. His muscles are quite large, making his whole body look slightly swollen and full of explosive power. His open arms are as wide and large as eagle wings. The thick muscles on his arms make people feel that these two arms are as strong as reinforced concrete.

There is no hope of catching up in terms of technology, so he turns to physical training.

To be honest, Lin Dong is a little curious. In history, LeBron relied too much on his physical advantages, so he neglected the training and polishing of his skills after getting used to it, and overdeveloped muscles will inevitably affect his flexibility.

Last season, the Supersonics and the Cavaliers had two encounters in the regular season, but LeBron rested in one of them, and played the power forward position in the other time, choosing to avoid Lin Dong, but now...

Does he feel that he has the confidence to deal with himself?

A faint smile hung on the corner of Lin Dong's mouth, and then he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and rushed to the left side of LeBron.

With the perception ability of God's perspective, Lin Dong could perceive all of LeBron's actions very clearly, even the changes in his eyes and emotions.

The moment he lowered his center of gravity, LeBron's eyes suddenly shone, followed by pupil contraction, eyes focusing, and the whole body followed with a defensive action like a catapult reaction.

Zone!

And the zone was turned on at the beginning of the game. This was obviously not a mistake, but LeBron had already mastered this skill.

A trace of surprise appeared on Lin Dong's face.

Zone is not difficult for himself who has mastered scientific training methods in the future, and because of his own guidance, it is easier for Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Yao Ming and others to control the zone. Otherwise, for the current NBA players, except Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, others do not have enough talent. They can only enter once or twice occasionally because of their desire for victory after their physical and technical conditions are met.

But LeBron...

At this time, LeBron's eyes were burning like fire.

Entering the zone requires extreme stimulation of the state of mind, and in the NBA, there are probably few people who understand what extreme stimulation is better than him.

When he first entered the NBA, he could occasionally enter the zone state. After watching Lin Dong's performance in the East and West Finals last season, the deep sense of powerlessness towards Lin Dong, the hatred and despair of himself, the hatred of his own incompetence, and the despair that he might never be able to take revenge in this life finally made him take that step on the court.

The feeling of being able to do whatever he wants in the zone, with his brain and adrenaline soaring, made him suddenly feel what it means to be omnipotent!

His confidence was infinitely improved at that moment. The only disadvantage of this move is that it consumes too much physical energy, and once it is turned on, it cannot be ended until the physical strength is exhausted.

So he began to exercise his physical fitness desperately, and even every time he made love with Laura, he kept extending the time with the intention of exercising his physical fitness, and kept sprinting in the most courageous state... He could even sprint in the most frenetic state for nearly an hour!

This was enough for him to stay in the zone for at least half a court time on the court, and it was a full-power zone.

Half time may not be enough for the Cavaliers to beat the Supersonics, but it is enough for me to beat Lin Dong!

Because of fear of Lin Dong, he relied on the relationship within the Cavaliers to change himself from the 3rd position to the 4th position, but now... LeBron knows that it is time for him to return to the 3rd position and compete with Lin Dong!

Super low body breakthrough!

LeBron's thinking has never been as focused as it is now.

The key to defending super low body breakthrough lies in the first step, not letting the opponent get into your defensive position, which has extremely high requirements for reaction, awareness and speed.

At this time, Lin Dong's breakthrough was as fast as lightning. Others pressed the center of gravity and rushed forward. These are two steps, but Lin Dong's breakthrough was completed synchronously at the moment of starting. He didn't give the defender any time to respond and got into his defensive position!

So fast!

LeBron raised his eyebrows slightly. Even for himself who was in the zone, he felt that he could not stop the opponent's first step at all!

Normally, there is only one way to stop Lin Dong's actions, that is, relying on prediction and advance time. Sakuragi Hanamichi can do this, and Rodman at his peak may also be able to do it. Of course, there is also Lin Dong himself.

But apart from these three people, even Payton and Jordan, who are also known for their defense, can't do it. Because of the different defensive styles and technical characteristics, they may be able to give the opponent the same defensive pressure as Rodman and Sakuragi Hanamichi when facing other attackers, but they can't defend against this type of breakthrough that relies on the first step.

But LeBron has a trick... an abnormal trick!

If the body speed is not enough, the arm strength will make up for it!

The right arm immediately blocked Lin Dong in front of him, with a little inward arc, like a wall to block Lin Dong's breakthrough.

Get started?

Lin Dong has encountered too many such defenders in the past two seasons, especially last season. It seems that it has become a trend for most NBA defenders to directly get started on his breakthrough, and there has long been no whistle, known as "Lin does not blow".

After all, there were too many people who took advantage of him, and Lin Dong had enough time to control the ball and break through. If everyone blew the whistle, the game would basically be unwatchable. Just keep watching the whistle.

Lin Dong had long been accustomed to it and hardly felt that it was of any use.

After all, the strength of one arm is limited, how can it possibly stop a person who is sprinting at full speed?

Moreover, if you focus on the right arm of the interceptor, other movements of the body will inevitably be slowed down by half a beat. Even if the first step is slowed down, the second step can rely on the distance of the body and the driving of the center of gravity to forcefully "squeeze away" the opponent's arm whose body is half a beat slower, and even make the opponent sit on the ground.

To put it bluntly, those who are stronger than him can't keep up with his movements, and those who are half a beat slower can't keep up; and those who can keep up with his speed almost don't have strength.

But LeBron at this time is obviously different from the opponents that Lin Dong met last season.

His strong strength is enough to be comparable to the top center, and while relying on strength to slow down Lin Dong's speed, his own speed with the zone open can completely keep up with Lin Dong's movements.

Both of them had very long steps. In the blink of an eye, they had already run three or four steps and rushed through the center line. If it were most of Lin Dong's usual opponents, these three or four steps would have completely left the opponent behind, but at this time, LeBron actually kept up with him!

Many fans in the God Arena were used to seeing Lin Dong's various raw eats, not to mention that the target was only LeBron, not Jordan, Kobe and other superstars, how could he keep up?

Luck? Coincidence?

The noise in the arena involuntarily became a little smaller at this moment, and everyone shifted their attention to the duel between the two.

With such strong physical strength and muscles, he can actually have such speed. It seems that this guy has really completely controlled the zone, and there must be a top trainer like Stephen standing behind him, who is not only increasing his weight, but also ensuring his body's flexibility and balance to the maximum extent...

It is difficult to break through his defense in a single way.

Lin Dong suddenly took a step and pulled quickly. At the same time, he broke through with a super low body, dribbled the basketball around his back, and his body turned around like a gyroscope while rushing.

Change direction without slowing down!

Changing direction without slowing down at such a fast speed is one of Lin Dong's unique skills that he relies on to dominate the NBA. There are not many people in the entire league who can force him to do this, let alone defend him.

Perhaps only a dozen people like Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, etc. can keep up with his step.

But at this time, LeBron, who was rushing, also completed the transfer of the center of gravity in an instant. At the same time, he used the horizontal bar defense of his left arm and took advantage of the half second when Lin Dong turned his back to adjust the defense center of gravity to the other side.

But then Lin Dong changed direction for the second time without hesitation!

The body turned back was still rushing forward at this time, and the shoulder and back had already hit LeBron's chest, giving the opponent a forward inertia. At the same time, the ankle twisted, and the basketball passed through the crotch like a butterfly through flowers, and then turned back to the left with the right leg as the axis.

The second step of changing direction without slowing down!

If there are only a dozen people in the NBA who can force Lin Dong to take his first step and keep up with him, then the number of people who can keep up with Lin Dong's second step may drop to only two or three in an instant.

But LeBron's pupils suddenly shrank. The state of the zone allowed him to feel Lin Dong's center of gravity very clearly, and his research on Lin Dong made him more aware of the opponent's limit of changing direction without slowing down.

Not one step, not even two steps, the opponent's limit of changing direction without slowing down is three steps!

When watching the video, LeBron felt that he could keep up with him in the extreme state, but when he really faced him in actual combat, he realized that some things cannot be done just by understanding.

The opponent's first step was too sudden, so he was forced to pull too much when he moved his center of gravity, and the slight difference in one step of defense caused all the subsequent actions to be re-evaluated and even deformed.

I feel like I can't adjust my center of gravity, so I can only move my hands...

After all, this guy is still the basketball god of the NBA...But if I can't even keep up with his second step and have to move my hands, then when he uses the third step, what can I rely on to stop him?

As his thoughts turned, LeBron's big hand had subconsciously stretched out, and with the force borrowed from pulling Lin Dong with his right hand, LeBron barely completed the adjustment of his center of gravity.

Caught up!

But before LeBron could breathe a sigh of relief, the terrible third step had already taken over.

Like a big pendulum pulling horizontally, while LeBron's center of gravity was still moving to the left, Lin Dong had already passed the basketball through LeBron's crotch, and his body also changed direction in an instant, pulling the center of gravity completely to the right.

The highest limit Lin Dong has ever used in the NBA, Jordan can't keep up, Iverson can't keep up, only Kobe Bryant barely kept up twice in the previous season, relying on the belief of not admitting defeat, and it was also praised by fans as an undefended trick!

——Change direction without slowing down in the third step!
