Legend Raiders

Chapter 885 Old King and New King

Cleveland is small, but the metropolitan area is the second largest urban agglomeration in Ohio.

As one of the symbols of this city, the Cavaliers naturally attract much attention.

Especially this season.

After LeBron James once again decided to return to the city where the dream began, the whole city fell into excitement.

And because of his return, when the team was free of Kyrie Irving, former Wolves king Kevin Love was also brought to Cleveland by the Cavaliers.

As early as after this lineup was finalized, not only local fans, but also many outside fans chanted the slogan of the Cavaliers winning the championship.

After all, they have the No.1 league in the post-Kobe era. With him in charge, if they don't go for the championship, it's really a bit sorry for the fans who like them.

That night.

There were a large number of cars parked outside the home court of the Cavaliers, and an astonishing number of fans gathered in the direction of the arena.

Soon they entered the venue excitedly, and the topics they talked about were inseparable from the revival of the Cavaliers.

In the arena.

Red jerseys were draped over the backs of the chairs, allowing fans to wear them to cheer for the home team as soon as they entered the arena.

Such a battle, if you don't know it, you will think it is the scene of the finals.

But James is worthy of such a welcome ceremony, and the king of Cleveland is finally back!

In the home and away team locker room.

The atmosphere on the Knicks side was somewhat stiff. The players just got together to communicate in twos and threes, and they all looked very cautious.

No wonder they are the case.

Although this season has just started, the Knicks are not very optimistic about the internal situation.

Especially after Stoudemire's complete return, it seemed like a drop of water fell into the frying pan, not so violently, but also undercurrents.

of course.

As long as Anthony is there, they still have their own backbone.

But Anthony, who is so good, doesn't look too excited.

Cavaliers here.

Because of James' return, while it looks very lively, the other side is somewhat embarrassing.

Especially Kyrie Irving, he has finally become the absolute core of the team. Unexpectedly, this old man, the former king, announced his return.

If he didn't have any ideas, it was completely impossible.

However, it is said that James talked with him several times, and the two appeared in the media cameras, and they felt very close.

At this time.

With the team owner and his son appearing in the locker room, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively.

The boss who once made a statement and "cut off the robe" with James is now like the best big brother, joking with James constantly.

one more time.

The knight boss perfectly explained what is called the law of true fragrance.

When they were almost finished exchanging pleasantries, it was time to appear on the stage.

at the same time.

There are not only a large number of fans watching in front of the TV, as long as there are no players in the NBA, most of them are waiting for this game.

Qin Tao is no exception, of course Zarya is with him.

The coffee table in the living room was full of beer and snacks, and the two of them seemed to be preparing to watch a night of soap opera, looking very leisurely.

"I really envy the courage of the Cavaliers." Zarya suddenly said with emotion.

Qin Tao glanced at her, nodded in agreement and said, "Although it wasn't too late for the Timberwolves to send out the signal, we don't seem to have too many suitable bargaining chips!"

Zarya shrugged: "Who made it impossible for us to get the No. [-] lottery."

Qin Tao smiled helplessly and said, "Although we didn't get Love, we are still not something that others can bully casually."

Zarya took a sip of beer noncommittally, then curled up beside Qin Tao, waiting for the start of the game.

at last.

When the two finished a bottle of beer and were feeling a little bored, they cheered up as the grand entrance ceremony began.

on site.

It was not just the fans who were there to support, but also some local celebrities, as well as James' friends outside the circle.

After they watched the appearance ceremony, bursts of cheers erupted at the scene.

As for the Knicks, there is naturally no special treatment as a visiting team.

immediately.

When Joe Crawford signaled to the technical stage, the main players of both sides came out one after another.

Like the style he used to be here, James first rubbed the soles of his shoes, then washed his hands with chalk, jumped onto the technical table, and greeted something with his arms outstretched.

cheer!

Soaring cheers came instantly, and the fans responded excitedly, welcoming their king in their own way!
Play.

Anthony hugged James for the first time. You must know that he is one of the three heroes.

The two exchanged a few words, and then left it to others.

After the two sides finished greeting each other, the center forward stood on the middle circle.

On the Knicks side is center Samuel Dalembert. If the old fans still have an impression, this is not only a former 76 defensive champion, but also fights side by side with Allen Iverson , and finally went to the Rockets.

At power forward, Quincy Asch will play the position with Anthony.

The small forward is naturally Carmelo Anthony. His ability is beyond doubt. It depends on the final result of the duel between him and James.

The shooting guard is Iman Shumpert. He is still on the rise at this stage, but his defensive skills on the outside are already very significant.

The point guard is Sean Larkin, a small guard who is only 1.8 meters.

On their bench, there are Stoudemire, JR Smith, Pablo Prigioni, and now a pure new Tim Hardaway II.

Honestly.

The Knicks' starting lineup is really a bit shabby, and only Shumpert has something.

of course.

Being able to become the starter, others naturally have their abilities.

The lineup of the Cavaliers is much more luxurious.

The center is Brazilian actor Anderson Varejao, the power forward is former Wolves king Kevin Love, the small forward is their return king, LeBron James, the shooting guard is Dion Waiters, and the point guard is Kyrie Irving up.

jump ball.

Dalembert and Varejao are pecking at each other on the floor. They have no explosive power and jumping ability at all, so the younger Varejao got the ball.

Irving got the basketball for the first time, and instead of handing it to James, he directed his teammates to advance.

Don't say it.

It was as if he and James had made an agreement. The ball was not handed over to James for the first time, but Irving was in charge of the ball.

Such a result caused some boos to appear at the scene, but they disappeared in an instant.

Owen is the only "prince" who can make them feel comforted in the days when they don't have James.

Now that the former king is back, this ball has to be handed over to James, which is somewhat chilling.

At least they changed in a timely manner, otherwise I don't know what Owen's mentality is.
