The first buzzer beater: March 23, 2006

If there is one reason why basketball is more exciting than football, it is undoubtedly the last second on the basketball court. Think about if a player wins the game in the last buzzer-beater, think about the winner's ecstasy, and look at the loser's tears, fans will definitely feel that this is the greatest Enjoy Time. The victory or defeat of a game can actually depend on the last shot. This is the greatest excitement of basketball.

Living in the Jordan era of the Bulls dynasty, we all can’t forget Michael’s killer kills, especially his knockout of Russell at the last moment in 1998 to win his sixth championship. This is a historic moment in NBA history. The most classic moment. I think any fan who has witnessed this moment will never forget this shot as long as he still remembers the existence of the NBA. The reason why Jordan is great is not only because he has six championship rings and a bunch of unparalleled personal honors, but also because of those final shots that fascinated fans time and time again.

When LeBron slowly entered the fans' field of vision under the exposure of the media, when LeBron chose the number 23 for his jersey. Although the fans of LeBron and Michael, both No. 23, are almost completely different, and it is difficult for fans to compare them, LBJ will inevitably become Jordan's successor in the eyes of the media and fans.

After two seasons, LeBron, No. 23, has become one of the best stars of his age group in the NBA. In the first season, he scored 20, 5, and 5 technical statistics, and in the second season, he won With the technical statistics of 27, 7, 7, and 2, LBJ has become a talented player comparable to Jordan in terms of technical statistics. In LBJ's third season, his technical statistics have achieved 3, 7+, 7+, and his team's record has firmly ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. However, LeBron still has difficulty gaining greater recognition from NBA critics and fans.

LBJ, who was born in 1984, is not yet 22 years old. Like many young LBJs, his expression is always more calm and less passionate. Perhaps LBJ was born to be a complacent person, and his broad shoulders shouldered too many important responsibilities. He needs to take a long and arduous path. Compared with the previous two seasons, LBJ this season is even more worried. After the All-Star Game, the Cavaliers' record suffered the same Waterloo as last year, and the Cavaliers' games suffered from fourth quarter syndrome. A losing streak pushed LBJ into the media's crosshairs, and LBJ became the overwhelmed star in the media. "Big Mouth" Barkley naturally would not miss this opportunity.

"LeBron is no longer a rookie," said Barkley, one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history and now a commentator on TNT. "He has to make his mark by grabbing a rebound in the last minute of the game, blocking a possession, hitting a great shot and whatever it takes to finish the game. The Cavaliers shouldn't lose five or six games in a row unless they Facing the Spurs or Pistons, LeBron shouldn't let this happen."

"LeBron has to be more selfish," Barkley said. "His team expects him to finish these games. LBJ can't just score 3 points or 5 points in the second half, he has to say to himself, 'We're not going to lose tonight.' LeBron has to understand that the outcome of the game is in his hands. If he wants to become a superstar, LBJ must do this."

Zen Phil Jackson holds the opposite view: "Barkley will always come up with some alarmist remarks when he brags. Conclusion. LBJ is currently one of the best players in the league. "Zhan Shi believes that there are many reasons that limit LBJ's performance on the field. "His playing time is too long, and his performance will decline in the second half after his physical strength is exhausted. There is also the fact that LeBron likes to pass the ball and give the ball to teammates who are in space. This is his advantage.

”

When LBJ assisted teammates Murray and Jones to hit the winning three-pointer twice against the Bulls and against the Raptors, the media and fans were still unwilling to give up the opportunity to attack LBJ. In their eyes, LBJ assisted his teammates at the last moment, which was a sign of shirking responsibility. If it were Jordan or Kobe, they would definitely choose to shoot by themselves instead of assisting.

But LBJ still insisted on his opinion: "For me, the last one. "Whether it's me or my teammates, as long as the shot is successful, I don't mind," LBJ said. "If I have a chance to take the last shot, I will take it myself. If my teammates have a better chance, I will let my teammates take the shot."

Is LBJ justifying himself? Just look at his performance. In the games against the Nuggets, Lakers and Trail Blazers, LBJ chose to take the last shot himself, but there was no chance in these three games. One exception ended in failure. In the most recent games against the Bulls and Raptors, LBJ chose to assist at the last moment. As a result, both Murray and Jones made winning shots.

Perhaps today's game can prove it better. LBJ's defense did not lie. In today's game against the Bobcats, he assisted Murray to hit a three-pointer at the end of the regular season. The Cavaliers dragged the game into overtime. In the last 20 seconds of overtime, LBJ made a shot and the Cavaliers scored two goals. A narrow victory over the Bobcats. This is LBJ's first winning goal in his NBA career. Perhaps LBJ will show us a different star style. In this game, LBJ made 10 of 21 shots, 16 of 23 free throws, 37 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 rebounds. Assisting, scoring a triple-double while also killing the opponent, this is undoubtedly a perfect night in LBJ's career

[Comprehensive evaluation]

LeBron James, wearing 23. No. 1 jersey, the leader of the Cleveland Cavaliers, so he is also commonly known as the Little Emperor, and some people call him the Little King. He is ranked second on BILL SIMMONS's list of least traded, and is also the person with the highest trade value. He is young, 6. -8 good body, abnormal athletic ability and excellent strength, absolutely all-star player on the court

[Offensive]

His shooting. His shooting and three-point shooting are improving year by year, coupled with his selfless sharing of the ball and correct shooting position, he has an amazing shooting percentage that is rare among guards despite taking a lot of shots. But due to mechanical training. , The action is relatively stiff. Also, the free throw percentage is not very ideal, with an average of only about 74 in the past three years (there was once a video of him abnormally throwing N three-pointers in a row during backcourt practice, which is very scary and worth watching). .

Passing: Passing is another unique skill of his. Although he is 6-8 tall, he has better vision and precise passing skills than ordinary point guards in the NBA. In his rookie season, he started as a point guard. In the second and third seasons, he also held the position of small forward. He is omnipotent and can score everything on the court. This can be seen from his data. One point. First of all, as a swingman, his court vision is top-notch. He can pass the ball out when his teammates need it most, and he can do everything from behind to hitting the ground with ease.

Breakthrough: Sharp breakthrough, both in first step and change of direction. He often breaks into the paint and gives the enemy a tomahawk dunk. He is a good foul maker. He often uses his strong body to create fouls during LAYUP. He also often uses his coordinated body to send the ball in and hit 2+1. But I don’t seem to like continuous breakthroughs very much.

Fast Break: You can often block in the backcourt, then rush to the frontcourt ALLY-OOP or steal the ball yourself and use your own unique JAMES Dapeng wings to dunk the ball in. He is not only the completer of quick moves, but sometimes the initiator of quick moves. He passes the ball beautifully so that his teammates can easily LAYUP or DUNK to score.

Low post: He has certain post-up skills. Although he is not as sharp as a breakthrough player, he mostly relies on his excellent strength to complete the game well.

(But looking at the statistics, it turns out that the PF position is the most efficient, I am completely speechless)

[Defense]

He should be a good defender, with excellent physical fitness that is even close to that of BT , it's hard not to be a good defender, but defense is still slightly inferior to his offense. It seems that most people who have not gone through college have some problems with their defensive steps. The little emperor also has these problems, but he is already much better than other high school students. At least if he is not good enough, he can make up for it with his excellent body. But the defensive gamble is too great, and he likes to steal the ball with his skills, so he has good steal data, but you must know that in the NBA, if you don't steal the ball, you will be passed...

[Position]

Many people like to compare LeBron with Magic. Indeed, many of them are too similar. They can all play positions 1 to 4, and even the 5th position. LeBron may not have as weird a pass as Magic, but his overall perspective and leadership skills are no less than Magic. His dribbling ability is better than that of an average point guard. At critical moments, it is LeBron who controls the ball and organizes the offense, but this will affect many of his offensive abilities.
