NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 332 Want JR

really.

Just as most people guessed.

Larry Hughes couldn't stop Zhou Yao at all.

Larry Hughes has been wary of Zhou Yao's three-point shot.

At the same time, he was also paying attention to Zhou Yao passing the ball to others.

Larry Hughes has specially studied Zhou Yao's game video.

Especially the last two seasons.

It would be wrong to say that the previous Zhou Yao was completely incapable of mid-range shooting.

Strictly speaking, it was Zhou Yao who couldn't make mid-range shots in the regular season.

On the contrary, Zhou Yao can occasionally score in the playoffs.

Not many though.

But not entirely.

And to these two seasons.

Zhou Yao's score increased significantly.

This season, Zhou Yao averaged 33.4 points per game.

Temporarily ranked second in the league.

However, Larry Hughes also found out.

Zhou Yao's two-point shooting percentage is still not high.

Calculated, Zhou Yao's average field goal percentage is as high as 51.9%, and his true field goal percentage is as high as 68.1%.

But in fact, this is also because Zhou Yao has a super high three-point shooting percentage.

Zhou Yao's two-point shooting rate is not high.

Specific to the middle distance, it is even lower.

Larry Hughes knew it too.

I can't guard against Zhou Yao.

His plan is to focus on Zhou Yao's three-pointers and passes.

Others will not put too much effort into it.

Many people have done this before.

The effect is not too bad.

Only, this time.

Zhou Yao chose to break through directly.

Larry Hughes must be careful that Zhou Yao hits the basket.

Also beware of Zhou Yao passing the ball.

But in the end, Zhou Yao made a shot near the free throw line.

This is obviously not Zhou Yao's shooting comfort zone.

But unfortunately, I went in.

6: 2.

……

The Cavaliers attack.

James took the ball to the basket.

Pass to Eric Snow.

This time, Snow's performance disappointed James.

Shots hit the iron.

The rebound was picked up by Zhou Yao.

But to be honest, there is no need for James to be disappointed.

He's at the basket himself.

Guarding him was Anderson Novak.

But James did not choose to shoot himself.

Time is running out.

Snow seems to have a chance.

But actually.

Snow was not good at three-pointers.

The highest career shooting percentage is less than 30%.

Besides, time is running out.

Snow also had no time to make adjustments.

Blacksmithing is normal.

It just makes James feel more disturbed.

Zhou Yao didn't directly score by himself.

Instead, the ball was given to JR.

Also shot outside the three-point line.

6: 5.

This time, JR did not disappoint Zhou Yao.

James expressed envy.

But he ignored that JR just now also made a three-pointer, giving the Cavaliers a chance.

……

The knights attack again.

This time, James gave the ball to Larry Hughes.

The ball goes in.

9: 5.

Also incidentally caused Ariza foul.

Add a free throw.

It's just that Larry Hughes failed to seize the opportunity.

Still 9:5.

Zhou Yao immediately hit back a ball.

Also a three-pointer.

It also caused Larry Hughes to foul by the way.

Extra penalty scored.

9: 9.

James expressed his frustration at this.

Larry Hughes couldn't guard Zhou Yao.

His free throw percentage is actually okay.

When the team needs him to score.

He is serving and hitting the iron.

Zhou Yao's free throw percentage is not high.

It can even be said to be very poor.

So far this season, only 77.5 free throw percentage.

As a point guard, it's not enough to watch.

But at the closing moment of chasing points, Zhou Yao's serve is still very reliable.

……

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, the first quarter was over.

James made 10 of 5 shots.

He made 3 of 2 three-pointers.

It's not just that the referees still remember the past season, or that the Bobcats players really played too clean.

Throughout the quarter, James didn't make a free throw.

Scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assist.

Now it seems that his own three-pointers are the most accurate for the whole team.

Even worse.

The Bobcats have adapted to the Cavaliers' style of play.

The main thing is that James broke through with the ball.

Fight yourself if you have the chance.

Give the ball to teammates when there is no chance.

If possible, draw a foul by the way.

Now, free throws are gone.

Teammates are not good at scoring three-pointers.

The threat of this style of play has also become very small.

Except that the Cavaliers were ahead for a while at the beginning of the game, the Bobcats had the advantage the rest of the time.

The point difference is getting bigger and bigger.

24: 30.

Speaking of which, it was only 6 points away.

There are still 36 minutes left in the game.

6 points is nothing at all.

It's just that the Cavaliers can't see how to catch up with these 6 points.

……

The second quarter begins.

JR receives the pass from Zhou Yao.

Hit 3 three-pointers in a row.

James almost cried with envy.

This kind of outside killer.

Willing to be a second master.

Do not occupy possession of the ball.

It can also help the boss get assists.

Why didn't he meet such a teammate?

Moreover, such a high scorer is willing to put down his body and actively invest in defense.

rather than perfunctory.

The game is up to now.

James also deserved 14 points.

JR has 16 points.

If the Cavaliers can get JR, they will also have a chance to compete for the championship this year.

The trading window hasn't closed yet.

However, JR's annual salary is only 151 million.

The Cavaliers don't have the corresponding chips to trade.

speak up.

To be able to trade Larry Hughes this time, the Cavaliers management also worked hard.

If you want to get JR, unless the Bobcats management collectively burns out their brains.

But then again.

No matter how you look at it, the Bobcats' previous transactions were all brain-burning.

Let go of Matt Barnes and John Salmons.

It is even necessary to catch up with Dorell White, who has been trained this season and has already looked a bit.

Oh, and that Kwame Brown.

As a result, some useless guys came back.

The best of all is Ricky Davis, who was kicked out of the Cavaliers.

What does that guy look like, don't you know?

Take the performance of the Bobcats management in this transaction as an example.

It may not be impossible for the Cavaliers to want JR.

Of course, even if you want to trade, you have to wait until the game is over.

……

The second quarter is over.

Bobcats have scored 30 points.

49: 60.

Eric Snow's final [-]-pointer still missed.

Otherwise, at least the Cavaliers don't have to enter the second half with a double-digit point difference.

James looked at Snow, then at JR who was walking towards the tunnel.

Some helplessly shook his head.

Snow's defense is no problem.

If not really too short.

Whether it's James or the coach, they will let him mark Zhou Yao.

It's just that this guy's attack power is too bad.

Especially three-pointers.

James has given him too many opportunities.

But he, at least in this game, didn't grasp it once.

In contrast, JR is too exciting.

However, Snow's annual salary is 548 million.

If it is used to trade JR, the Bobcats will at least have to come up with draft picks to balance the deal.

that is it.

The Bobcats' management probably doesn't want to trade even more...
