Chapter 142: Branches of the evergreen tree
The Thunder's winning factor in the first few games is very simple. The frontcourt rebounds and restrictions on the Warriors' transfers, the Thunder have double towers like Ibaka and Adams. Especially Adams, he is simply in the inside line.
In terms of defensive transfer, the Cavaliers have already achieved the maximum of what they have done, but, offensive rebounds? For Lin Sen and the lineup after losing weight, for the Cavaliers, their ability to board the frontcourt may be considered a middle- and lower ranks in the entire league.
"Let's use Tristan more, we need his impact on the inside." Blatt frowned, then Linson and Love's time on the court must be reduced, but their vitality on the offensive end must be weakened.
Lin Sen naturally heard the coach's request, frontcourt rebounding? This thing is really not strong, but it does not mean that he has no chance to strengthen. He also holds two purple skill packages and frontcourt rebounding, which is indeed a very good thing for his weak rebounding player.
The skill panel of the frontcourt rebounder was opened, and the first skill package was indeed unexpected. The golden skill package came from Moses Malone, the greatest frontcourt rebounder in history.
Three regular season MVPs, one final MVP, and more importantly, this guy is only 206cm, and he is completely a beast in the inside line.
His rebound speed is extremely fast, his jumping height is very good, and his arm span is excellent. These basic physical conditions are very similar to Lin Sen. Even Lin Sen's physical strength, which was the biggest problem at the beginning, has been greatly improved.
The biggest gap between Lin Sen and him is Lin Sen's judgment on the landing point of rebounding and various fierce impacts for rebounding. These are something that Lin Sen, a rookie, does not have at all.
This is also because Lin Sen's physical condition is not bad, but he is not doing well in controlling rebounds. Lin Sen, who has not been systematically trained since childhood, is completely different from many inside players trained by American basketball systems. He has his own shortcomings in many technical aspects, but is covered up by greater highlights.
The Prophet, this frontcourt rebounding skill, his name is the same as Moses Malone's nickname. Of course, this nickname was not obtained because of Moses Malone's judgment on the landing point of the rebound, but now it sounds particularly appropriate.
However, for Lin Sen, this thing is hard to come by. The golden skill package is too expensive, but it is indeed worth the price. Rebounding ability is the most important part of a center. A famous Japanese center once said that those who win rebounds will win the world. From here, we can understand the importance of rebounding.
But this also gave Lin Sen a choice direction. What Lin Sen needs to choose is not the skills that can stand under the rebound and get offensive rebounds, but the skills that use bounce speed, bounce, speed and prediction to win the frontcourt rebounds.
Originally, "Big Bug" Rodman was definitely a very good choice, but this guy has hardly played center in his career, so he is naturally not in the ranks of choices. Lin Sen has not had enough reward packages now, so he chose Kevin Willis second-rate. Similarly, the consumption of a purple skill package is essential.
This is a model nba. As a player who joined the nba in the same year as Jordan, he worked hard in the nba until 2006-07 before ending his career. In 23 years, the player with the longest career in the nba and the second oldest retirement player in the nba. Although he is not a superstar in the nba in terms of strength, he has left a strong mark in the history of nba in other ways.
He is not a superstar. He has only been selected for the third team of the All-Series once, and has only been to the All-Star once, and has only scored 20 points per game, but this did not prevent him from becoming an excellent rebounder. When his physical condition was still at his peak, he averaged 4 offensive rebounds per game, which is definitely a good offensive rebounder.
Lin Sen chose him not only because of his legendary career, but also a more important reason, that is, his body size is similar. Kevin Willis is 213cm tall and weighs 113kg. This body size is very similar to a tall and thin person like Lin Sen. Similarly, his wingspan and bounce and his judgment of rebounding points are also his advantages. It is impossible to grab so many offensive rebounds from the hands of the four centers in the 1990s.
The new skill "Evergreen Tree Branches", which is really appropriate to describe this veteran who has been fighting in the NBA for 23 years. Is his branch? Are the arms of rebounding? Lin Sen doesn't understand, but he knows that it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand now. In the game two days later, he can understand it.
"Boss, don't worry, I will do my best to grab every frontcourt rebound." Lin Sen was already full of confidence after changing his skills, and could not wait to show his frontcourt rebound skills. It was also the same effect, and if used properly, Lin Sen might change the entire Warriors' system in this quarter.
But the problem is that David Blatt and his coaching staff can't believe Lin Sen like this. How much does this word have to do with you? Don't forget how embarrassed you were by Drummond in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. If you forget, we can show the videos of those games to let you recall them.
The Cavaliers didn't take Lin Sen's confidence seriously. Even Lin Sen trusted Lin Sen to take out secret weapons from time to time, and he was not as confident as the tts who averaged offensive rebounds in the regular season. The latter averaged 2.8 rebounds of 8 rebounds per game, which was offensive rebounds. He had a strong impact on the inside. This is the secret move that the Cavaliers planned.
Even on the plane to Auckland, the Cavaliers' uniform team was still worried. TT had not received any reuse in the previous games, but TT was not as strong as Adams and Ibaka. It is another matter to say whether it could have such a terrible impact. But for the Cavaliers, they are now in a position to retreat.
