Who is the strongest in NBA?
There is no doubt about it. The best body lines and muscle density. Lebron james. It is said that his bench press can reach 190KG. . He passed the center and the defender. He is getting bigger, stronger, smarter and even looks better than before. Want to know about Cavaliers star LeBron? James's evolutionary trajectory, you have to put him down first. Chris? Pollard had a moment in the Cavaliers' game against the Warriors last Friday, when Golden State Warriors center Andres? Billings-6 feet 1 1, 245 pounds, he is not a small man-looks like he was pulled out by a plane and thrown in the opposite direction. Cleveland striker LeBron? James the Great went straight into the penalty area in his groundbreaking way, and Billings tried to protect the basket. Ya indomitable to fly to the sky to try to block, and then-wow! You know what happened: he flew behind him. As for James, who is 6' 8, he maintains a balanced body and a stable flight route, just as he rarely makes his independent round-trip flight-starting 15 times a night, from basket to basket without stopping-before reaching the layup. A few minutes later, he jumped up again, only this time he was above two brave players and ended up with an amazing one-handed dunk. Later, Golden State Warriors forward Steven? Jackson described the disaster. "Although it is big, you still hope it won't knock you down and cause a concussion." So exactly, how strong is James? Well, that's a hot topic in the whole NBA. When he joined the league in 2003, he weighed 240 Jin, and then the media commented that year was 250 Jin, but those figures were obviously low. Rumor has it that he weighs 265 pounds, and it has been reported recently that he weighs 274 pounds. "Is he at least 260 kg?" Jackson guessed, he added, that defending James was like "defending a brick wall." Last week, when I interviewed James in the ballroom of San Francisco St. The Regess Hotel, I brought a scale to try to solve this problem. He smiled, but didn't stand up (weigh himself). "I can't let everyone know everything about LeBron," said James, who knows better than any other star the importance of staying mysterious. He joked that he was "fat"-from a man with a body fat of %5 and protruding blood vessels flowing like small interstate highways on his arms and calves-and then stammered and revealed that he gained 8 pounds this summer, "although I managed to lose 65,438+00 pounds." This means that James's weight is controlled between "265 pounds and 270 pounds" because of the Cavaliers, which is shocking considering his extraordinary speed and skill. Many centers are not that heavy, including the Cavaliers' own center, 7' 3,260 Jin Zajunus? If Magic Johnson is the first big man to play like a point guard, then James is the first point guard in this league. "He even reads the game like a football player," said Nate, coach of Portland Trailblazers. ? McMillan said. In the past three years, he and James have worked together in the national team. "And he has enough speed; He may also be able to play swimming guard (note: swimming guard, in American football, rushes to the opposing quarterback for a lightning attack and tries to kill the opposing quarterback). " Imagine what will hit you next in an unusual way. If James is just a miracle of athletic ability, one thing has to be mentioned. His game grows with his physique. He is the dominant factor in the Cavaliers' best record in the East. His record before the All-Star weekend was 34-8-including 20-0 at home-and he became a strong contender for the championship for the first time in his career. Indeed, coach Mike? Brown is full of confidence. This season, he wisely entrusted his offensive and defensive plan to his army lieutenants, and 6' 1 Mo? Williams, next to James Jordan, is a pocket Pippen. But all the work fell to this guy. By Sunday, he averaged 27.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 2.0 steals and three hits (the commentator screamed). "God, did you see that?" Games. "You knew the Cavaliers would be good, but I didn't expect them to be so good," said a scout in the Eastern Division. "I didn't expect LeBron to make such great progress, especially in defense. It is rare to see people of his age getting better and stronger every year. He is really a monster. " If so, let's test this monster who achieved the same remarkable feat almost at the age of 24-12000. By measuring this person, maybe we can calculate his influence in the game. Think of this as LeBron-Anatomy Course 10 1. Chest (XXL) This will undoubtedly anger the skinny teenagers who are training hard in the strength room all over the world. Although he is a bodybuilder, James has never really done weightlifting training. At least not the way ordinary people produce muscles. Imagine heavy objects, several times, gasps and metallic sounds. On the contrary, James only started formal training last June. "He just scratched a few times at random in the power room. In the first few years, he played by natural brute force, "said Mike, the Cavaliers trainer who supervised all James' physical training." Mansias said. Even now, James is still far away from what he calls "iron man champion weightlifting", such as bench press-as a core training program, dumbbell, and yoga started last summer-not to say that he is a simple convert. "I have to start with a gesture that he doesn't think is too stupid, if you know what I mean," Mansias said. But it's still the same Last summer in a restaurant in Los Angeles, James got off some dogs (a yoga posture) and ran out of other things by the pool in front of other guests. James's increasing weight is as mysterious to himself as to others. Instead of wolfing down protein milkshakes or accumulating extra carbohydrates, he eats three meals a day (such as oatmeal, chicken and salmon) prepared by his personal chef, and occasionally eats sweets and snacks. "It's a little crazy," James said. "My body seems to be the opposite of ordinary people." Now James does 20 to 30 minutes of weight lifting every match day, followed by a series of regular training. Cleveland general manager Danny? Ferry attributed the new training system to James' experience in the national team. "As a team, these guys seem to enjoy the best training in their summer," Ferry said. "If they meet in the morning and Kobe comes sweating, LeBron will say, I *% *&; %, this guy has already started working. That's it. " The arm (fine tuning) is like Tiger Woods improving his swing at the peak. James quietly in assistant coach Chris? With Janet's help, every five days, each group trains 1.5 hours to improve his jumping ability. If you watched James' shooting last year, you will know why. Although all the teams were stunned by his breakthrough, he sometimes looked like throwing pumpkins at the backboard. According to NBA.com, his shooting percentage of two-point jumpers on the arc top and wings is only 37. 1%, which is a treasure for a shooter who stops at a mid-range jumper. Therefore, James is committed to developing what Jane calls a "calmer" lens. This refers to a better balance-James has to deal with the great momentum brought by his weight when moving at high speed-and keep his right elbow locked to one side so that James can keep his shooting posture. "The ball will fly in a straight line and will not deviate occasionally." Like ordinary players, James started with a one-handed shot near the basket, followed by an emergency jump shot and a free throw, and then a mid-range shot. It is worth noting that he has never thrown a three-pointer in training. See if you can resist the temptation after practicing in the arena for an hour. "He is strong and can shoot at half-time," Jane explained. "First the posture, then the range." If you always follow the training instructions, the results are encouraging. By the end of the All-Star weekend, James's two-point shooting percentage on the arc top and wings reached 43.8%. When his hand is hot-he beat Portland Trailblazers 88-80 in the game of1October 2 1 Cavaliers 88-80-he will hit emergency stop jumpers in the low post continuously, which almost makes him impossible to prevent. "This is a shot he hasn't shot before," an East Side executive said in the game. "I like these balls,' no chance', but they are all made by him." There is no doubt that the jump shot, back tilt and dagger are as sharp (breakthrough), which reminds us-what's his name again? Yes, Mr. Bryant. Foot (16 yards) Last summer, Idan? Lavin is a coach in Washington, DC. His clients include Chris, the point guard of the New Orleans Hornets. Paul and Denver Nuggets forward Cameron? Anthony was shocked by the speed of his coverage of the stadium. "Most players run from baseline to baseline at full speed between 1 1 and 14 steps," Lavin said. "LeBron is 9 to 10." This is especially valuable on the defensive end. Draw a circle and say that most players are 6 feet, which is the space they can defend-they call it the defensive radius. James, that circle is almost twice as big. "He can cross all the routes in the restricted area and stick to the defense (a flanker shooter)," said Mike, assistant knight and defense coordinator. Malone said. "And it's not a 6-foot-tall guy like me who posted it. It is simply' I x &;; $%, this is a big guy coming towards you. "He also became a defensive iron gate. 10 9 In the match between 65438 and the defending champion Boston Celtics, James put the swingman Paul? Pierce harassed 15 4 made 5 mistakes and led Cleveland to win the game 98-83. " He jumps better on the defensive end now, "said an eastern scout, who praised James for his speed, balance and understanding of defensive strategy." "He stopped trying to dunk into the penalty area. I think this is what made Kobe different before, but now LeBron has reached his height. " Essentially, James has become the coolest toy any defensive coach can imagine. For example, when the Cavaliers play against the Hornets, James can not only defend 6-foot Paul, but also switch to 6-foot 9240-pound power forward David in the pick-and-roll process. West side. "Now LeBron is replaced by West instead of Mo or Daniel? A little guy like Gibson, he can handle him, "Malone said. "Do you know how difficult it is for a team?" Leg (high-frequency spasm type) Six years ago, in the summer camp before the NBA draft, James' vertical bounce was measured at 44 inches. Considering that he estimates that he can jump a foot on one foot, it means that he may jump over your closet without even sideways in the process of fast start. It goes without saying that this is a very useful basketball skill. Like being a teammate wally? When Szerbiak was asked which part of James' game he wanted to steal, he said, "His go-go gadget (refer to the movie Detective Garnett, also known as Detective G) has left calf muscles." This does not mean that James's leg jumping ability is below the standard level. Two weeks ago, Cleveland lost staff due to injury. He jumped the ball in the middle line against the grizzlies and scored the 7-foot 1 mark? Gasol. A week later, he hit the center of 12 minutes in the game against the Hornets, which is not surprising considering his performance in the Olympic Games. "He will switch to defensive center and say,' Don't worry about this guy, he's not going anywhere,'" McMillan said. "Because he knows the principle of leverage, he will get stuck in the footwall of the big man, and then they can't move. "Eyes (improved version) Although his vision on the court is admirable, James could not see some objects clearly as early as a year ago. Such as road signs. With the gradual development, James's vision is already very poor. " I can't see the blackboard in the classroom, so I have to move to the front row. I can't see the road sign three blocks away. I can't see many things. "So, obviously, he should wear glasses, right?" "No," he said with a shy smile. My self-esteem wouldn't allow me to do so. "So in the first five years of his high school and NBA, James looked at things a little vaguely, which inevitably made all the players he could see have a good impression. It's just that James claims that this has never affected his game. " I can see everything on the court. I've never had a problem here. "-he raised his hand to one side of his head, pointing to the surrounding field of vision-"my problem is right ahead. "Then, just a year ago, James had laser myopia surgery. Now, "it's cool because I can see things from a distance." "I like this!" He admitted that it might also improve his performance on the court and was forced to say, "Well, I'm getting better." Hands (thrown casually) measure 9.25 inches from the bottom of his palm to the top of his middle finger. Since 10 grade, he has been able to hold the ball with one hand. This allows him not only to wave basketball freely in dribbling, but also to grab a lot of off-track rebounds with one hand. This also makes his passing surprisingly fast. "I had to get used to it at first, because it would surprise me," Szerbiak said. "He will be at the other end of the court, and then-bang! -The ball is at your best shooting point. " The person who got a lot of such passes this season is Williams, who was traded from the Bucks in August last year. For James, it is good for Williams to be a shooting guard in the name of point guard. He said that he likes Williams to be "confident without hesitation". To be exact, Williams has no adverse effects; According to 82games.com, he ranked third in the league in the two-point jump shot this season. Result: James finally got the assistant he longed for. "I walk on the court every night and I know someone I can trust can push the team, himself and me," James said. What he didn't add was the timing, but no one accused him of adding it. The brain (CEO) is as talented as the physical James. Lavin said that his "soft skills" may be his greatest value. "He is so charming, he can attract attention, and he respects those who try to make fun of him," Lavin said. "It's very powerful, especially trying to get along with the guys in the league." This season, James is better at words. He inspires morale, he supports his teammates, he gives orders, and all these coaches are allowed and encouraged. James suggested how to play in a mixed situation, and you can freely change the defensive counterpoint on the court. So when you see James replaced by Kobe Bryant or Blazers guard Brandon? Roy's super scorer mode, this is not Brown's arrangement, but his decision. James knows the game, just like McMillan thought, one day he will be in charge of the coach. Then again, as McMillan commented, "When you have that IQ and his talent-he can do many things he wants." This is the real scary place. The 24-year-old James is already one of the only two best players on the planet from great history. (The other, 30-year-old Kobe Bryant, explains this very well. ) "We watched him grow from 18 to 24 years old," Ferry said. "From now until he is 30 years old, we will see his change again. We just don't know what it will become. " Even James sometimes has to be curious about his potential. "If I am gaining strength now," he said, "I don't want to see me at the age of 32."
