Chapter 399 The battle with James

Chapter 188 The battle with James

At 7 o'clock in the evening local time in the United States, the game between the Hornets and the Cleveland Cavaliers officially started.

The main lineup sent by the Cavaliers:

Center: Big Z, Power Forward: Drew Gooden, Small Forward: LeBron James, Shooting Guard: Larry Hughes, Point Guard: Eric Snow.

Even though, Jack doesn't like LeBron James very much.However, objectively speaking, LeBron James is an out-and-out basketball genius.

In the 2003 NBA draft, he was picked by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round and became the No. [-] pick. This is the second high school No. [-] pick in the NBA draft after Kwame Brown.

In LeBron James' rookie season in the NBA, he averaged 20 rebounds and assists per game. After the former "Big O" Robinson and Michael Jordan, he is the third in NBA history to average "5 points, 5 rebounds, [-] assists" player.

This season, James achieved an impressive average of 27+7+6 per game.Obviously, this new star has been dubbed the title of "little emperor" by the media since his debut.I also hope that the performance of the two super-talented players on the court will probably influence the trend of the game, and everyone's eyes are already on the loan center.

And Jack is also a rising star recently, so the heat of this game will not be weaker than that of the Christmas game.

Not only the local media was broadcasting the game, TNT also sent a lineup of well-known commentators. This time, Reggie Miller and Barkley were jointly responsible for the broadcasting task of the game.

"A good commentator can turn a game into an epic movie. Now the leading actor is Sir Charles. In the next few hours, I will let you experience an epic game. Let us wait and see."

Those were the first words that came out of the sound effects of the center court, and Barkley opened his mouth with impatience before the players on both sides jumped the ball and began to perform.

Although Reggie Miller is not Kenny Smith, it is impossible to share the same spirit with Barkley.

Today Miller took the lead and took the lead in making troubles. This may also be a deliberate arrangement by TnT. These two commentators who are facing each other are one of the important points of the game, just like the players who are about to meet each other on the field.

"Hey, Charles, just now when I walked from the door to the broadcast booth, someone asked me, can Jack kill LeBron, and they really want to know this question."

Miller turned his head and said to Barkley's fat head that the purpose of this question is to show that Miller is optimistic about Jack, and then Barkley can only support James.

"No, Reggie, they asked if LeBron could kill Jack, and Sir Charles told them very formally that Jack would win. Man, don't you forget that I'm a big fan of Jack. You know it. " Barkley said shamelessly, shaking his fat head.He took the initiative from Miller, for fear that others would not know that this guy is a fan of Jack.

Reggie Miller saw Barkley's shamelessness. Seeing that Reggie Miller didn't speak, Barkley continued: "I bet that Jack can kill LeBron. If my prediction is wrong, you can put the whole country All the animals are waiting for me in the parking lot outside the Quicken Loans Center, Reggie, do you dare to bet."

Barkley made a bet arrogantly, waiting for Miller's next words.

"Okay, let's start the jump ball, let's watch the game." After Miller failed to defeat Barkley, he quickly brought the topic to the upcoming game. He would not bet on James to kill Jack.

Things on the basketball court are ever-changing, and there is no way to explain these things clearly.

After the referee blows his whistle, the game begins!

Hilton is also full of energy today, and Hilton successfully jumped the ball.

The basketball flew straight in Paul's direction.

Paul didn't catch the ball at the moment when the basketball was called, and he slapped the basketball vigorously with his right hand to make it hit the ground directly past the marking Snow. A pass with strong penetrating power directly tore the Cavaliers' entire body. line of defense.

By the time the Cavaliers reacted, the entire penalty area was empty like a no-man's land.

They didn't have time to return to the defense, and they saw that the tall figure stretched out after receiving the ground pass and poured the basketball into the basket with both hands.

Jack didn't use his excellent jumping ability to ravage the rim, he only took off after more than one step into the paint.Height plus weight plus the inertia brought about by running fast, this two-handed slam dunk made the entire basketball hoop tremble.

The fans in the stands were shocked by the attack just now, and the slam dunk was like a fire that instantly ignited the madness of the whole field. It was just the madness of boos. This is the home court of the Cavaliers, and the fans booed crazily It says it all!
After landing, Jack thumped his chest hard and roared.

In this game, Jack was also full of passion, and he became murderous at the beginning.

In the Quicken Loans Center, the Rockets staged such a hot scene from the very beginning.This is simply an insult to James.Because, in his mind, only he, and only he, James, can have this kind of right.

Faced with such provocations from Hongguoguo, a man like James obviously would not choose to swallow his anger.

Facing Peja's defense, James looked very relaxed. After all, there was a physical gap there. It was not difficult for him to eat Peja alone.

James changed from a frontal cut to a back-up singles, using his height, weight and tonnage to force Peja.

Due to the gap in physical fitness, Peja was pushed to the free throw line step by step by James. After entering the free throw line, James suddenly stopped, and then quickly jumped ninety degrees to the right with his left foot as the axis. Jia didn't hesitate, and still stuck to James tightly.

After James shrugged his shoulders twice, he made another quick 180-degree turn.

In an instant, he faced the basket head-on. Peja didn't have time to react, so James took out the gap. Taking advantage of the few tenths of a second when Peja didn't react, he tiptoed his feet and quickly placed his hands on Peja's raised arms. Dip it in and let it go.

With a "bang", the basketball hit the basket first, and then fell into the net.

The referee immediately blew his whistle, indicating that Peja was fouled by the thug, and then James made a free throw.

A beautiful singles, the powerful low-post singles ability is undoubtedly evident, and James also gestured to Jack without showing weakness, 2:3!

It's not that Jack didn't want to defend James in the past, but in this way, Jack would not be able to help Hilton effectively defend.Big Z can also grab points by virtue of his height.

Therefore, Jack did not interfere too much with James's singles, but only compressed the opponent's offensive space as much as possible. However, the gap in strength and height between Peja and the opponent is really a bit different, so it is impossible to defend the ball at all.

It's normal for James to score a goal. Jack knows that the victory or defeat of this game lies in the control of the inside.At this time, James' shots are not too scary, mostly relying on his body and crab steps, so only when he opens up the situation can he give his defenders a chance to break through or shoot.

The next game will depend on who can dominate the offensive rhythm on the court, he or James.

Entering the restricted area, Jack leaned against Gooden and reached out to Paul for the ball.The Hornets' tactical proposition is to play from the inside.

After receiving the dropped basketball, Jack began to push back. Gooden's defensive ability is not very strong, and he can't defend Jack with his height.

The two consecutive impacts won him the space to turn around, and he directly used the turn to throw off Gooden.

Taking a deep breath, he raised the basketball high, concentrating all his strength on his hands.

"Bah!!"

He smashed the basketball into the hoop with both hands, the basketball fell to the ground, Jack was hanging on the hoop, and the basketball hoop also bent down due to the force.

Absolute strength, impressive jumping, and solid singles skills. When he saw Jack's performance in the next few minutes, Mike Brown, who was like a fat fish, knew what kind of mistake he had made.

In the opening 6 minutes, Jack scored 12 points on Gooden's head, causing Big Z to foul four times and end the game.

Not only was Brown shocked by Jack who was frantically stealing points from the sidelines, but even James began to understand that this famous guy in front of him was not so easy to deal with.

He knows in his heart what level Li Gooden is. The two have fought countless times, and he has seen many duels between insiders and Gooden in the league. He has never seen Big Z lose so badly.

However, Peja and James are very different in size, so James also scored 13 points on Peja's head.

Now the game on the court has fallen into a cyclical mode. The Cavaliers' choice is to use James' impact to eat and live Peja.And Jack also chose to directly use his own strength to single the Cavaliers inside.

Using one's strongest attack to consume the opponent's mental will, this is the idea of ​​the two teams, but one is an impromptu response, while the other is prepared.

The inextricable situation on the field has exceeded the expectations of many spectators. Many media thought it was a one-sided massacre, but now it has evolved into a strong confrontation.

The game has been developing like this, both teams are attacking crazily, and soon reached the final stage of the fourth quarter, Jack scored 32 points, and LeBron James also scored 28 points.

The fans didn't dare to vent their anger, suppressed their emotions, and stared at the game motionlessly, for fear that they would die of overexcitement if they breathed too hard. This kind of game is too crazy.

The game still has a period of time, but the score between the two sides still has not been able to open.
