Chapter 508: LeBron, Be Like Frye
James came on strong, but the Supersonic's defensive setup was extremely ready.
This was thanks to Tim Grgurich, the veteran assistant who had followed George Karl for many years.
Although James's shooting had improved a lot compared to the past, his favorite thing to do was still to break through.
Because even with a pure shooting percentage that reaches the league's top caliber of over 40%, it still can't compare to his finishing ability near the basket, which is comparable to an interior player in the paint.
Therefore, Grgurich's defensive suggestion to limit James was to ensure that there was always a tall player standing guard under the basket at all times, and not to completely empty the paint due to the Lakers' shooters.
This was not difficult for the Supersonics.
