LeBron James, one of the greatest small forwards of the century, was a 2003 NBA Draft picker, a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player Award winner, a three-time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award winner, a three-time NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award winner, and a three-time NBA championship and two-time Olympic champion. Although his talent is outstanding and his ability is outstanding, his career from the Cavaliers to the Heat to the Cavaliers to the Lakers has not been smooth all the way, and there is always a group of knife guards and inside protectors around him to provide fire assistance, without these great teammates, it is impossible to achieve today's Zhan Huang.
Today, let me select the top six of the best interior protectors around James in his career according to my personal understanding and preferences, hoping to be recognized by the majority of fans and friends.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > sixth place: Uduñis Haslem</h1>
James' career best interior protector was sixth, and I chose Udunis Haslem.
Haslem, the soul of the Heat team, the rebounding king in team history, has played for the Heat for 16 consecutive seasons, often referred to as the "Harbin Team". He is actually a lost draft, with 7.6 points and 6.7 rebounds in career statistics, and is a veritable blue-collar player. He is only 2.03 meters tall, but this height often appears as a team center when assisting James later in his career, and he relies on his tough style of play and active fighting to ensure that he does not fall behind when facing some interior lines that are taller and heavier than himself.
In 2006, Haslem assisted Wade to win the first championship in team history, and later in 2010, after James and Bosh announced that they would join the team to form the Big Three with Wade, Haslem chose to cut his salary to stay on the team, and in the following 2012 and 2013, he helped the team win two NBA championships, although his statistics are not bright, but he is undeniably one of the players who work hard under the shadow of the Big Three, and his career has been loyal to the Heat, which is the soul of the real team.
Reasons for selection: low-key, playing hard, although the personal ability is not outstanding, but for the team willing to do dirty work, but also with the Heat during the James to win two championships, the contribution is indispensable.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fifth place: Shaquille O'Neal</h1>
James was fifth in career best interior protector, and I chose Shaquille O'Neal.
Some people may question me, I said that O'Neal's career may be more brilliant than James's (4 NBA championships, 3 Finals MVP), why is he ranked so low as James' best interior partner. I have my own considerations, I'll talk about it below.
O'Neal joined the Cavaliers to support James in the 2009–2010 season, when he was 38 years old, but even so. O'Neal averaged only 23.4 minutes per game and was able to get 12 points and 6.7 rebounds, O'Neal's arrival was a good solution to the Cavaliers' tight internal line at that time, but that year's playoff Cavaliers stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals and failed to go further, and at the end of that season, the Zhan Sharks group disbanded, one went to the Heat, one went to the Celtics, and this short season of cooperation was also their only cooperation.
Reason for selection: The Sharks' inner dominance is unquestionable, and they are still feared by all opponents even at the age of 38. Although the sword is not old, helpless and incorruptible, although the old Ji is futuo, but in the end it can not withstand the years.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fourth place: Ilgoskas</h1>
James finished fourth in career best interior protector, and I chose Zaydrunas Ilgoskas.
Mention Ilgoskas, again a veteran figure, a Lithuanian player nicknamed "Big Z". After 12 seasons with the Cavaliers, he is still James's big brother, since James joined the league in 2003, it can be said that he has witnessed the growth and transformation of James, they have been working together for seven seasons since the beginning of the 2003-2004 season, but unfortunately the Cavaliers have not won the championship in those years. In February 2010, Ilgoskas was traded to the Wizards, and in the summer of the same year, James also announced that he would join the Heat to form a big three, and the cooperation between the two came to an end.
Ilgoscus averaged 13.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in his seven seasons with James, and his shooting percentage remained around 47 percent, making him play very consistently.
Reasons for selection: height and long arms, traditional European interior skill type high school forward play, both offensive and defensive, soft feel, stable play.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > third place: Kevin Lefour</h1>
James' career best interior protector was third, and I chose Kevin Love.
In 2014, James chose to return to his hometown team Cavaliers, and joined the former Wolf King Kevin Love, and for a time the Cavaliers also formed a big three, and the Cavaliers became the favorite to win the championship. Unfortunately, although James returned to the first season, although he reached the Finals, the first round of the playoffs was reimbursed by Olynk's lock arm and an arm dislocation, and then the injury of the first game in the Irving Finals led to the season reimbursement, and finally the single-core Cavaliers also lost to the Golden State Warriors who played five small teams in the Finals. However, in the subsequent 2015-2016 season, the Cavaliers' big three finally joined forces to defeat the Warriors to win the NBA championship.
As an interior player, Luck's offensive area is very wide, from the triangle to the three-point line is his projection range, so that the opponent is invincible, that is, the compatibility with Janeo in the early stage of the Big Three is not strong, there is a long period of adaptation, and in the late two years of the Big Three, it was questioned that the playing was soft, floating on the outside line to shoot three points.
Lefour has averaged 18.2 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in the regular season so far in his career, and has also achieved a double 30 of 31 points and 31 rebounds during the Timberwolves (the first since Moses Malone in NBA history in 1982) and a horror record of 53 consecutive double-doubles.
Reasons for selection: rich offensive means, outstanding frame protection ability, loopholes in the later defense, and soft ball style.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > second place: Chris Bosh</h1>
James' career best interior protector number two, I chose Chris Bosh.
"Dragon King" Bosh, another NBA superstar who was crushed by injuries, in February 2016, Bosh suffered a blood clot, announced an indefinite truce, and has not appeared on the court since then, and on March 27, 2019, Bosh officially announced his retirement.
In 2010, Bosh announced that he would leave the Toronto Raptors to join the Miami Heat to form a big three with James and Wade, and helped the team win two NBA championships in the following four seasons. In the season before Bosh joined the Heat, he averaged 24 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks per game for the Raptors, and in the first season of the heat, the Heat Trio had scored points and rebounded 30+10 rebounds in a game, and in the 2012-2013 season, the Heat Triumvirate had created a 27-game winning streak.
Reason for selection: Excellent projection ability, fast speed, strong athleticism, but thin body, leading the team to win two championships.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > first place: Anthony Davis</h1>
James' career champion for the best interior protector, I chose Anthony Davis.
The most important news in the NBA league in 2018 is James's decision 3, that is, a four-year contract to sign the Los Angeles Lakers, and the most important news in the NBA league in 2019 is undoubtedly Anthony Davis joining the Lakers, and the impact of this decision on the NBA league structure may now seem to be no less than the decision made by James.
Anthony Davis, 2012 champion, announced in 2019 to join the Lakers to join James, at the beginning James also took the initiative to give up his No. 23 to Davis, but later business considerations failed to make the trip, which is enough to see James's weight for him.
Remember that Davis was called up by the American Dream Ten team to participate in that year's London Olympics that year and eventually helped the United States team win the Olympic gold medal, and he also became the youngest athlete in the history of the American basketball national team to win an Olympic gold medal, when he was only 19 years and 4 months old. Although griffin was temporarily transferred because of his serious injuries, as a first-year NBA student at the time, his personal ability was obviously greatly recognized.
Since joining the Lakers this season, Davis can average 26.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, helping the team to get the second record in the First League of the West, and the Lakers have topped the list in the latest strength list, leading the probability of winning the championship. In the case that Zhan Huang is 36 years old, unable to play for more than 40 minutes, and often rests to preserve his strength, davis's existence should be said to play a good role as a team leader, it should be said that the most favored player in the league today is in addition to the letter brother is him.
Reason for selection: Talented, comprehensive technology, when the year of play, the future can be expected.
