Forward to the basket

The fanatical roar of the fans has filled the entire arena, coupled with the hard-working performances of the swaying cheerleaders, the atmosphere of the Christmas game has gradually climbed to the peak, just waiting for the whistle to start.

The head coaches of the two sides told their players at the end. Regarding the opening stage, whether it is Mike Brown or Rivers, they all know that they cannot let their opponents take the lead. It is very troublesome to lose the opening of this kind of game.

The Quicken Loans Arena is the site of the Cavaliers, but it doesn't mean that they can be the master here, at least in the link of the jump ball, even if the little emperor comes up, facing Chen Feng, he will suffer a disadvantage.

Don't look at the little emperor who can glide in the air in almost every game now, and then stuff the basketball heavily into the basket, but if he and Chen Feng are really thrown into the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest to compete.

Then the final winner is definitely not the Little Emperor. Don't look at his elegant and flexible movements, but if it's just a competition of vertical lifting ability, even Howard can't handle Chen Feng. Do you still expect the Little Emperor to be able to beat him steadily?

There was no certainty of victory, so James would not take that risk. The person standing in front of Chen Feng was also replaced by Wallace, that tough guy who had just arrived in Cleveland from Chicago less than a month ago.

Although this guy is no longer the "Big Ben" who was the best defensive player for two consecutive years, but in this league, there are really not many who can take advantage of him.

Before the game, Garnett said that no matter who Wallace came up to stare at, the pressure was obvious. Even the wild and unruly wolf king felt the pressure brought by Wallace during the matchup. that oppressive feeling.

But Wallace looked at Chen Feng face to face, and he also had the same feeling. When that kid played against him in Chicago last season, Wallace felt a strong sense of crisis with his tough style of play.

Most inside players rely on their bodies for food. Wallace has also personally experienced Chen Feng's tyrannical impact. His punches are afraid of being young. This may be true. The young storm is very messy.

Wallace didn't expect his jumping ability to be able to overwhelm Chen Feng. In this kind of pure competition of vertical height ability, experience didn't help. What he could do was to stretch his hands upward as much as possible.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded like a starting gun. At the moment it blew, Wallace and Chen Feng stretched their bodies to the maximum limit, and pointed at the rising basketball with their fingertips.

When Howard competed with Chen Feng for the jump ball, he was overconfident in his spring legs, so this guy fell miserably. Although he was about the same height, his reaction speed and adaptability were obviously a level behind Chen Feng's. In the weight class, he watched Chen Feng swiftly slap the basketball away from his head.

Wallace can't make mistakes in terms of experience, but he doesn't have Howard's sturdy jumping ability, at least it's gone now. Maybe he doesn't suffer much when defending at the basket, but when it comes to jumping balls, that is a complete disadvantage.

Super strong jumping ability, coupled with long arms, let Chen Feng occupy absolute dominance in the air.

Even this guy can selectively shoot the basketball to the position he wants to pass, which makes Wallace have to sigh secretly, he is old after all, you can't admit it, the cruel fact is right in front of you.

In the past, Wallace had a body of sturdy muscles, and he also had the ability to take off with excellent speed and height.

But now, in a face-to-face contest, the fans on the sidelines could clearly feel that Wallace was no longer able to compare with Chen Feng on the same level. The difference between these two guys was not only due to their experience.

The strength that can be erupted from the young legs has already made an old guy like Wallace sigh.

With super strong jumping ability and a pair of big hands covering the basketball, Chen Feng turned the jumping part into a pass very domineeringly, but this time it was not Rondo who caught the ball, but Ray Allen who had already activated it.

Rondo was very entangled by West, probably because they were teammates with each other last season.

So West knows the Celtics' fast-break strategy in the opening stage too well. Once Rondo is in possession of the ball, this little guy's advance speed is extremely fast, and he is likely to kill the Cavaliers' basket in one go. Down.

Last season, West was able to change from the main force to the substitute because of Rondo's rise, and he had seen a lot on the sidelines and in training. He also knew how crazy the fast break between Rondo and Chen Feng could be during the jump ball.

Therefore, this guy with more and more tattoos is staring at Rondo every step of the way, even clinging to a degree that has surpassed those previous games. I really don't know if this guy wants to prove that he is not bad.

Facing the players of the former owner, sometimes they can always perform exceptionally, perhaps to prove their ability, and sometimes they are also trying to show favor to the new owner, proving that your vision is much stronger than those of the original ones.

These factors may be included in it. As for what West is thinking, Rondo is definitely not clear, but he can feel the fierceness from the opponent, even when he is fighting for the position, he looks very fierce.

"That guy Delonte played hard. He was obviously holding his breath and wanted to prove it to us."

When watching Rondo being entangled, Rivers on the sidelines whispered to Thibodeau, but he didn't regret the deal he made at the moment. West's departure was actually a necessity. .

A player who has been in the league for four or five years has not performed too surprisingly, and can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Faced with such a subordinate, I am afraid that any manager or head coach of any team will not list him as a non-sale item. West can only be regarded as a good player, but he is still a long way from being first-class. .

Therefore, when Angie was considering a trade, Szczerbiak might still make him hesitate a bit.

But West's departure was almost doomed from the very beginning, but what you think does not mean that others will accept it, even if he himself knows that his ability is nothing more than that.

West was originally a neurotic guy. After Rondo came to the Celtics, although this guy didn't show any hostility, after all, the two were competing for the main position.

After Rondo began to be reused, West was basically in a marginalized state. Don't expect a neurotic guy to think about it. If he could, he would not be such a character.

When he is traded away, once he seizes the opportunity to counterattack, he always wants to let others see that he is not bad, at least when he is on the court, he can also cause trouble for the opponent.

Facing his old club, I am afraid that many people have such thoughts, but West is even more paranoid.

Even when the two sides met before the game, West didn't deliberately say hello to anyone. Szczerbiak was still talking and laughing, but he seemed very silent, and his whole body seemed to be tense.

So, when he stared at Rondo face-to-face, this guy even fought in a way that far exceeded the usual game state. As soon as the ball jumped over there, he had already stuck to Rondo, making it difficult for him to move.

Rondo was marked to death, and Chen Feng's choice was Ray Allen. Szczerbiak beside him was not a qualified defender. At least in terms of physical confrontation, Szczerbiak was always a bit soft.

With the ball in hand, Ray Allen's reaction and action speed were so fast that Szczerbiak had no time to block his way, so he could only watch the opponent catch the ball in his hand, and then take advantage of the trend.

One step away is enough for "Gentlemen's Sword" to get rid of Szczerbiak's entanglement. His nimble running ability, in this kind of confrontation, not to mention firmly overpowering the opponent, at least allows him to break through calmly, dodge Start chasing.

Szczerbiak lost the opportunity to get stuck, and it would be almost impossible to go back and chase Ray Allen. He was even ready to watch the opponent kill him like this, and then score easily.

If you take one step closer, it will be enough for Ray Allen to find his shot point outside the three-point line. This kind of fast-break three-pointer is not easy to say, but the lethality of the "Gentlemen's Sword" Strength, has never been allowed to be underestimated by others, many Cavaliers fans are sighing, could it be that the opponent just made a good start?

Not to mention the three-pointer, even if this guy cuts to the basket, with Szczerbiak's speed, it will be difficult to catch up.

Maybe many Cavaliers fans are ready to swear, but there is one guy who is not prepared to do it. Compared with swearing to vent, he is more used to counterattack in the most practical way, such as now.

Szczerbiak has little chance of catching up to Ray Allen, but that doesn't mean no one can do it, especially when Ray Allen is already in the air and ready to score a layup.

The sound of the wind, the sound of the wind in his ears, Ray Allen hadn't heard the sound of the basketball brushing the net, but he had sensed the sound of the wind coming from behind him in advance, and there was a hand slapping the basketball heavily.

"Boom!" With a dull voice, the orange basketball was slammed against the backboard, then bounced, and when it left Ray Allen's palm, it also deviated from the original track.

"James! Nice chasing block! Wow! God, this guy just jumped so high!"

Before the others had time to cheer, Kenny Smith had already roared out first, and along with his roar, the entire Quicken Loans Arena burst into a crazy shout, roar!

But the shouting of these guys has not stopped, and the madness on the field is still going on. The basketball that was shot did not fly out of the sideline, but was caught by West who was chasing back first, and then he moved.

Just like West taking care of Rondo, Rondo is also sticking to West at this moment, preventing this guy from having any chance to speed up the start and delaying the opponent's forward pressure as much as possible.

This is a natural reaction, mainly because this season, when Rivers is training the team, he has always emphasized that at any time, do not give the opponent a chance to easily break fast.

Even if you can't steal the ball, you have to suppress his speed. Therefore, when West is about to start holding the ball, Rondo's first reaction is to stick to it, and then reach out to block the opponent.

It's not about fouling, but about letting West's speed be suppressed so that his teammates can have a chance to retreat. After all, the situation where Ray Allen was blocked just now happened a little too fast.

No one noticed when the little emperor cut to the basket. Maybe even the ups and downs on the sidelines did not expect such an accident. Many people have already acquiesced in Ray Allen's layup.

But it was the guy wearing the Cavaliers' uniform No. 23, who just came out of nowhere, and then slapped Ray Allen hard, sending Ray Allen flying for a layup.

Then they quickly launched a counterattack, which was so fast that it was impossible to parry. Even if the Celtics were not in a mess, it was impossible to respond so quickly and retreat in place.

Rondo only hoped that his blocking would give his teammates a chance, but as soon as he posted it, that guy West unexpectedly stopped in his tracks.

At first he thought it was blocked, but what Rondo saw in the next second was the basketball flying over his head. West opened his hands and threw the basketball so high.

Nima!Rondo really wanted to just scold him like this. As a point guard, and he had been teammates with West for a season, even if he was an idiot, he knew that this was definitely not a shot.

Although West is a bit nervous, he is a person who has been in the NBA for several years after all. Therefore, before halftime, he just made a shot like this and could only pass the ball.

And returning him must be an alley-oop cooperation!The guy stopped just now, not because he stopped him, but because he already understood what to do!damn it!

Passing the ball across the half court, when Rondo turned around and looked over, he could only see two guys flying up from the Celtics basket, one in front and one behind, and the basketball was above the basket at the moment.

"My God, the speed of that guy James is like a bolt of lightning! I swear, I was just watching him block Ray's layup, but in a blink of an eye, this guy has already killed half of the game!"

Smith's exclamation sounded again, but now not many people will complain, because this guy's rhetoric is obviously not as fierce as the confrontation on the court. The figure of the little emperor has become the target of everyone's attention in Quicken Loans Arena. Same goes for the guy behind him.

Just as no one saw clearly how James blocked Ray Allen's layup, few people really noticed that this guy's forward drive would be so fast!All this happened in a blink of an eye.

It's not that everyone didn't notice, because there was another guy flying into the air under the basket. His reaction speed was equally astonishingly fast, but he didn't expect that the opponent would play such a cooperation. A little bit, even for a second, maybe he can stop it.

But God will not stop time because of the existence of someone, so even if there is a fierce beast behind James pounced fiercely, it can't stop him from smashing the ball into the basket!

"Bang!", when the sound of the little emperor's slam dunk came out through the microphone, there was also another voice, but the "bang" sounded a bit dull.

But just such a voice also weakened the shouts of the Cavaliers fans a lot. Maybe many people were watching this scene with trepidation. , Too many people forget to open their mouths to roar and shout!

Although the bald wild boy and the Celtics were the objects of ridicule by the Cavaliers supporters before the game, it was at best an emotional catharsis.

After all, the opponent was number one in the league, and the guy who dared to embarrass the little emperor was really too fierce. Many people still remembered the confrontation last season, and it was hard to forget that scene.

Now that it really happens again, the Cavaliers fans are actually even less confident. They stick to the pride of Quicken Loans Arena, but in front of such an opponent, besides being tough, you have to be more cautious.

After all, in the eyes of many people, the Cavaliers are still a challenger, and the opponent is the top player in the league!

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, sometimes, these statistics are things that overwhelm you. If you refuse to accept it, it’s okay.

Otherwise, that bald-headed wild boy might give you a hard blow at some point, which will be unforgettable for you forever. Just now he and the little emperor vacated at the same time, which made many Cavaliers fans fearful. That's how Mike Brown feels about it, and that's deterrence.

Su Xing that guy didn't really succeed, but the big hand on the backboard still gave many people a strong visual impact. This was not only an unsuccessful defense, but also more like a warning.

It's just that the score was still rewritten. After chasing the big hat, the little emperor used a beautiful fast break to kill the Celtics in the half. After receiving a pass from West, he made a perfect alley-oop However, all of this happened too fast, so fast that the Cavaliers fans felt suffocated.

"Simply counterattacked, James opened the scoring for the Cavaliers, listen to the cheers on the scene, this guy did a good job, it seems that today's game is destined to be very exciting!"

Both Smith and Miller applauded the King's lightning fast break, but there was another feeling they didn't say.

The little emperor's counterattack speed was indeed fast enough, but the reaction of the bald wild boy was also shocking. The defense just now was only a little bit worse.

If West's passing was a little slower or a little bit off, it would be hard to say whether the little emperor could successfully smash the ball into the basket.

The big slap that the bald wild boy slapped on the backboard was only a little short of successfully blocking the shot, otherwise, the little emperor would not have chosen to retreat quickly after scoring.

Maybe even he himself knew that it was indeed very dangerous just now. He was almost like Ray Allen, facing the possibility of being intercepted in the air, and his end would definitely be worse than "Gentlemen's Sword".

But no matter what, the little emperor has succeeded. He took the lead in opening up the situation for the Cavaliers. His super heavy spear of the Cavaliers, sharpened by the harsh light, is really dazzling...
