Jamie is the most suitable partner.
We must first understand the characteristics of Loew. Loew's attack is mainly low singles, and then some outside shots. Defense is Loew's poor place, and it is not Loew's strong point whether it is low-post one-on-one defense or cooperative basket. It can be said that except Loew's outside shooting ability, nothing else meets James' requirements.
Loew can open the space.
Therefore, when introducing Loew, the main consideration is his ability as a space power forward. James was at the peak of his career and his breakthrough ability was also top-notch. One star was the most suitable lineup for James at that time. Bosh slowly began to change to this type in the later stage of the Heat's career. Slowly developed a three-pointer, from this perspective, Loew is the most suitable candidate.
No one thought that soldiers would be so powerful!
In addition, James introduced Loew in the playoffs. According to the overall strength of the east, James can be said to have no breakthrough pressure. If you want to win the championship, you only need to consider the competitors in the west. At that time, the Western Warriors was only a first-round team with the sixth record in the West, and the Huashui brothers were not mature enough for the time being. No one will think that they can make it to the final. The only imaginary opponent of the Cavaliers is the Spurs.
Loew can make room for Jano.
Although the Spurs are no longer at their peak, the team as a whole is still very old. The Spurs' attack is mainly positional attack. The team is very good at attrition and can grind other teams to death bit by bit. At this time, a player is needed to open the space of the stadium and disrupt the established game rhythm of the Spurs. This task belongs to Loew. As long as Loew plays, James and Owen have enough space to display their abilities.
Loew can limit Duncan.
If the Cavaliers face the Spurs, Loew will definitely face Duncan. Of course, Loew can't limit Duncan, but Duncan's age is unlikely to blow Loew away completely. But when the Cavaliers attack, Loew's good running characteristics can keep Duncan away from the restricted area, so James and Owen don't have to face Duncan's basket to make up for it. Loew's effect on the Spurs will be very obvious. The fact is, the Cavaliers have a certain advantage when facing the Spurs in the regular season.
James has a crush on the Big Three.
Another consideration may be James' infatuation with the Big Three. After the previous career of Heat and Cavaliers, James has deeply realized the importance of the Big Three to winning the championship. At that time, if it was just himself, Owen and rookie Wiggins, it would not be enough to hit the championship. He must bring a new giant to the knight. This man is Loew.
There are still some results.
At that time, there were not many superstars available for James to choose from. Basically, Loew is the only one who can choose. Therefore, the Cavaliers also finalized Loew very early. Now, even though it seems unreasonable to choose Loew now, on the whole, it is a decision that must be made under the circumstances at that time. At least they won a championship in the Cavaliers, not too bad.
