Chapter 1344 The Warriors' bench thickness is the first in the league? Stop teasing.(2/2)
Tang Qian himself was a little confused.
This is still the Josh Smith in my impression? You can’t be wrong, right? Are you lucky? In good condition?
After landing, Josh Smith yelled, very impressive. Then he said to Green: "You and I are competing in blocking shots? You are still ten blocks behind! James is not as good at blocking shots as me, you know? Xiao Xiao
"Children's shoes!" Are you bragging? Well, I guess many people think so. But if you are an old fan, then you must know. This is really not Josh Smith just pretending.
Wow. This guy's career average of blocks per game is close to 2 times! What's the concept? This is because he was messing around later and didn't have much defensive data. Therefore, he has dropped a lot.
He was said to be the strongest outside shot blocker back then, and that was true.
In the first six years of his career, he averaged about 2.5 blocks per game. In the sixth year, he averaged 2.1 blocks. In the ninth year of his career, he averaged 1.8 blocks per game. Just ask. LeBron James blocked once in a single season in his career.
Has it ever been achieved? Last season, Josh Smith averaged 1.4 blocks per game. In the first half of the season with the Pistons, he averaged 1.7 blocks per game. Has James ever averaged 1.2 blocks per game?
Josh Smith averaged 2.9 blocks per game at his peak, which was close to 3! Then there were 2.8 and 2.6 seasons. You have to understand the concept of an outside player averaging about 3 blocks per game. This is still
The statistics of a season, after 70 or 80 games, are not watery at all. He, Josh Smith, wants to say that I am much better at blocking shots than James. Who dares to say "no"? So Green? He is not on the same level as him.
Shot blocker.
Besides, he is a player who has really mastered defensive formation. If his brain hadn't gotten too hot easily, he would probably have to defend formation all year round.
Why else would Larry Brown value him so much and spend so much effort on him this season?
Josh Smith also felt the harmonious atmosphere of the Lakers and the importance of the head coach. With the team's defense being the main focus, he finally began to re-focus on polishing the defense or restoring the defense. After a full season, he finally found his way.
The defensive feeling of the year. Not to say that it can be fully recovered, but it is also fast. After all, the overall system of the team now is mainly defensive, and Larry Brown’s role for the team is also to be a shot blocker. And then he is not needed on the offensive end.
No more wasting physical energy, so this game ended with the scene just now.
If the referee hadn't called a foul, he would have blocked Green three times in a row!
And Josh Smith is not like this in the regular season, he also blocks shots strongly in the playoffs!
The highest average per game is 2.9 times! This is the proof!
In terms of outside shot blocking, he is actually superhuman!
As an outside player, he has been in the top three in blocks for 3 consecutive seasons and in the top 2 in blocks for 2 consecutive seasons. Just talking about shot blockers, comparing James with him is tantamount to humiliating him. The two of them are not on the same level in this regard.
.That’s why Larry Brown is so confident in defeating the Warriors in the playoffs. They are no match for small-ball defense. Big-ball defense? Let alone that.
The gap is even wider.
After the first half, Cole looked a little gloomy. He didn't expect that he was still lagging behind despite so many tricks. This is definitely not good news for the Warriors. In the locker room, he must think of something else, otherwise
Losing two games in a row at home is not a trivial matter for the morale of the team and players.
That would be a very bad situation.
Cole didn't want this to happen.
Moreover, he felt that he underestimated the strength of the Lakers' bench, not just a little bit, but greatly.
I thought the Warriors' bench was the best in the league, not to mention Iguodala, but also got Livingston. But when I turned around, I saw that the Lakers were not bad either. Covington, Beverley,
Pierce, and now Josh Smith suddenly appears, plus the big shooter Yi Jianlian... How can we dare to say that the Warriors have the thickest bench in the league?
First place?
With a heavy heart, Cole led the team into the tunnel of Oracle Arena. He really had to think of a solution during the halftime break. Otherwise, it would be difficult to win this game. And the series would also be very difficult.
Hard to beat.
PS: Yes, this chess piece was also arranged by Xiao Zi before. How about it? Are you afraid? The strongest outside shot blocker, how many people know about his glory in the field of shot blocking? Alas, now, the Warriors are in trouble~
