I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 137 Resourceful Manager Zhan ([-] in [-])
In the following games, Li Xuan did not get a chance to break through with the ball.

After James has suffered a loss, he will not repeat the same mistakes again. He sticks close to Li Xuan and does not give him room to easily catch and shoot or break through.

In fact, Li Xuan does not plan to break through with the ball. He was lucky the previous time, and he was able to control the ball after the confrontation. Before possession of the ball, his scoring method is still based on running without the ball, and he is honestly a 3D player.

The game continued, and the Cavaliers still couldn't solve the offensive problem.

As long as James has the ball, Li Xuan will let him shoot and block the breakthrough route. If he runs without the ball, the No. 10 player of the Mavericks will immediately go forward to defend closely, which makes his mentality almost collapse.

The Cavaliers' other scoring point, Ricky Davis, also failed to open, and was firmly locked by Lagabel on the outside.

The Cavaliers can only rely on big Z to play in the low post to stop the team's defeat.

On the other hand, the Mavericks' offense played smoothly.

Facing Boozer's defense, Nowitzki directly stepped back and made a jumper, which couldn't interfere with Boozer's height and wingspan.

In this group of matchups, the "driver" has a very large advantage.

Moreover, the Cavaliers couldn't solve the pick-and-roll cooperation between Nash and Nowitzki, which allowed Nash to get a lot of open shots and widened the point difference to about 15 points in one fell swoop.

Seeing such a situation, James felt powerless. He was firmly restrained by Li Xuan, and he had no way to run to help defend and double-team. He secretly hated his lack of strength and was unable to help the team reverse and win.

In this way, the third quarter played for about 7 minutes, and the score displayed on the big screen was 52:67, and the Mavericks led by 15 points.

In an offense and defense, Li Xuan and James chatted outside the three-point line.

"Li, can you stop talking, aren't you thirsty and tired?" James complained.

"No, I feel uncomfortable if I don't talk when I'm defending."

"Can't you bear it anymore, come and beat me if you are a brother!"

"I will never fight back."

Hearing Li Xuan's shameless answer, rookie Zhan gritted his teeth angrily. He couldn't stand this annoying guy in front of him.

This guy not only tortured him physically, but also caused serious damage to him mentally.

If you stick to the defense, you should stick to the defense well. There is so much nonsense, it makes his head buzzing now, and he can't concentrate on attacking and defending at all.

At this moment, James felt a urge to urinate, but he was still playing, which upset him even more.

"Fuck! I'm here to add to the chaos at this time. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't drink so much water before the game."

After a quick thought in James' mind, he came up with an excellent idea, which can solve his physical problems without confronting that annoying guy.

The rookie Zhan stuck Li Xuan behind him, stretched out his hand to ask for the ball from his teammates, and quickly started to carry Li Xuan to the basket after receiving the ball. He immediately held the ball in his arms halfway through the breakthrough, and asked the referee for a timeout.

At this time, Li Xuan, who wanted to step forward to force him, looked confused. What kind of tactic is this? He stopped fighting halfway through the fight. He really knows how to play!

James ignored Li Xuan's puzzled look, handed the ball to the referee, and limped towards the bench.

The head coach of the Cavaliers, Paul Silas, was taken aback when he saw this situation. He still needs to rely on James to lead the team to win. If the rookie Zhan suffers from an injury, the Cavaliers can only do badly again like last season. .

Immediately, he quickly ran to James to ask about the situation.

"LeBron, are you okay?"

"Coach, I don't think there's a big problem. It seems to be a slight sprain to my ankle. If you're worried, ask the team doctor to take me back to the locker room for a check."

Silas was relieved after hearing this, followed James' suggestion and asked the team doctor to take James back to the locker room.

In the live commentary, Barkley and Kenny Smith were very puzzled when they saw this scene.

James is injured?

But they didn't find out how James was sprained by watching the replay just now, which is very strange.

"We can see through the big screen that James followed the team doctor back to the locker room, hoping he is okay."

The fans in the auditorium were blown away. Their chosen son was injured. It was okay. They prayed for James and wished him a speedy recovery. Big, hurt their chosen son, boos and curses filled the arena.

Li Xuan, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the picture on the big screen and felt suspicious.

His defensive actions are not very aggressive, and James is so strong, how could he be easily injured.

Is that guy faking an injury, not wanting to play against me, or just wanting to rest.

Li Xuan made a reasonable guess in his mind.

On the other side, James returned to the locker room, took the lead to solve the physical problem, and then pretended to ask the team doctor to check the ankle injury.

In fact, urgency to urinate on the court is still very common.

The core players can directly apply for a timeout to solve their physical problems, but some substitute players dare not do this, they do not have such a right, and they have to obtain the consent of the head coach.

If during a game, the head coach wants you to play but can't find anyone, you can imagine that the consequences will be very serious.

Pierce pretended to be injured and was wheeled back to the locker room by the team doctor to solve his physical problems; Thomas Jr. put a towel in his shorts and solved it directly on the towel; Rose sneaked to the bathroom to solve it, but the coach wanted him to play But he couldn't find him when he was there, and he was ruthlessly hidden in the snow.

Back to the game, after the timeout, Nelson did not allow Nash, Li Xuan and others to play again. Now that the lead is large, there is no need to play the main force.

In the locker room, after seeing Li Xuan not playing on TV, James left the locker room and walked to the court despite the dissuasion of the team doctor.

"I feel very good now, I should be fine, I'm going to save my team."

The team doctor saw that James was so righteous and awe-inspiring, it was not easy to stop him, and he checked it just now and found nothing wrong, so he let him go.

On the other side, on the bench of the Mavericks, Li Xuan looked at the bench of the Cavaliers. Seeing that James hadn't returned yet, his previous guess was a little shaken.

Is that guy really hurt? !
Just when Li Xuan was thinking wildly, warm applause and deafening cheers suddenly erupted from the audience.

The sudden movement interrupted Li Xuan's thoughts, and then he looked towards the center of the field, wondering what happened.

Through the big screen at the scene, Li Xuan knew why the fans were so excited.

"James came out of the player tunnel, and we can see his determined eyes. Does this mean he wants to play with injuries? Does he want to stage a timeless return of the king?"

In the live commentary booth, Barkley explained loudly excitedly.

He believes that the audience at the scene and the fans in front of the TV like to watch such bloody dramas.

On the bench, Li Xuan shook his head, unexpectedly, he and the Mavericks were put together by James.

What a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone!
First, pretending to be injured and leaving the field made fans think that it was the result of the Mavericks' defense being too aggressive, which aroused public outrage, and at the same time attracted the attention of the referee, so that they could target the Mavericks' defensive standards.

Second, staged the clichéd drama of the return of the king, won the love and support of the fans, established the image of a tough guy, and instantly gained a large number of diehard fans.

Third, boost the morale of the team and establish the core position of the team.

High, really high!
Li Xuan admires James' acting skills and IQ from the bottom of his heart.

In a game, so many tricks were used, it really deserves to be resourceful and resourceful Manager Zhan.

If James knew Li Xuan's thoughts at this time, he would definitely feel embarrassed, he had no other thoughts.

Brother, you really think too much, I just want to apply for a timeout to solve physical problems.

At this time, on the Cavaliers bench, James came to head coach Paul Silas and said first: "Coach, I'm fine, please let me play."

Silas breathed a sigh of relief, patted James on the shoulder and said, "Get ready, play."

When James came to wait in front of the technical stage, the fans at the scene became even more crazy, and they almost shouted the slogan of MVP.

Li Xuan, who was sitting on the bench, shook his head helplessly.

It seems that this wave was pretended by the rookie Zhan!
Immediately, he looked at the head coach, Old Nelson, and found that Old Nelson had no intention of making changes and adjustments, and just sat on the sidelines to watch the game.

The game continued, Finley broke through the basket and caused a big Z foul, and there was a dead ball.

James, who was sitting in front of the technical stage, immediately cheered up and was ready to play.

Amid boos all over the sky, Finley scored the first free throw.

The referee blows the whistle to make substitution adjustments.

When Jamison saw James coming to the field, he felt depressed immediately. After finally being able to abuse food, but when he encountered this guy fighting with injuries, how could he improve his stats.

After the substitution adjustment, Finley also made a steady second free throw.

The ball is switched, and the Cavaliers have the ball.

As soon as James came up, he rushed to the basket, scored hard and caused Jamison to foul defensively.

Before, the rookie Zhan was driven mad by Li Xuan, and now he can finally release it.

Jamison looked depressed, does this f*ck look like a wounded person?It's like a humanoid tank, how can you defend against it!
He had specially observed how Li Xuan defended James off the court before.

Isn’t it just chattering on the outside, I also do it, I thought it shouldn’t be too difficult, but after trying it, I realized that I took it for granted, and I couldn’t help complaining in my heart: “Why is it always me who gets hurt!”

In the next game, Nowitzki made a turnaround jumper to stabilize the situation. James responded quickly, rushing to the basket and scoring two plus one again.

The Cavaliers regained some points through James' explosion in the final stage.

At the end of the third quarter, the score on the big screen was 62:73. The Mavericks entered the fourth quarter with an 11-point lead.

The intermission is over, and the fourth quarter officially begins.

Since James played almost the entire third quarter, he didn't play at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Li Xuan and Nash had enough rest on the bench, and they staged a wonderful alley-oop cooperation as soon as they came up, ravaging the Cavaliers' basket.

It didn't take long for the Cavaliers' offense to come to an end, and the Mavericks took advantage of the situation to launch a defensive counterattack. Nash and Li Xuan connected again and successfully ravaged the Cavaliers' basket again.

Facing the mad bombing of the Mavericks, Cavaliers coach Paul Silas couldn't sit still, and immediately replaced James on the court to stabilize the situation.

Rookie Zhan is feeling miserable right now!The bench is not hot yet and it's time to play again, I really think I'm a beast!

After the substitutions and adjustments, the rookie Zhan really wanted to make a strong counterattack, and scored 7 points with sudden shots, which meant to reverse the situation.

But Li Xuan disagreed, how could the thief Zhan steal the victory he finally got.

So he used the cover of his teammates to hit two consecutive three-pointers, directly extinguishing the fire of the Cavaliers' counterattack.

James still wanted to struggle for a while, and three consecutive three-pointers have been hit, and the three-pointer just now was pure luck.

The Mavericks took the opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack and opened the score again.

With about 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the head coach of the Cavaliers surrendered, replaced all the main players, and announced that he would give up the game.

The Mavericks then made personnel adjustments, replaced the main force, and replaced some fringe players to play the game and find out the feeling.

The game time passed quickly, and the marginal players on both sides played in the garbage time.

With the piercing beep, the game came to an end.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Cavaliers 98 to 82, winning three consecutive victories.

After the game, Li Xuan and James, the focus of the game, were surrounded by media reporters.

"LeBron, what do you think of Lee's performance against you tonight?" a reporter from TNT asked.

"Lee's performance is very good. His defense may be the top in the league, which caused me some troubles. I believe he will become my strongest opponent in the future." James responded with a smile.

"Are you worried that Lee will overtake you again and return to the top of the rookie list?" ESPN reporter asked.

"No one can tell what will happen in the future. I can only be myself and go all out to play every game well."

After James answered, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the locker room.

On the other hand, Li Xuan was also tormented by all kinds of weird questions from the media reporters.

"Lee, congratulations on your victory. What do you think of your opponent LeBron James in tonight's game?" the reporter asked.

"LeBron's strength is undoubted, very strong, and posed a certain threat to our team, but we restrained him through teamwork and won the game. I believe he will grow into a super player in the league in the future." Superstar." Li Xuan responded truthfully.

Afterwards, Li Xuan answered a few irrelevant questions and stopped answering questions from media reporters.

After accepting the interview, Li Xuan went straight to the player tunnel, returned to the locker room to join the team, and listened to the next arrangement of the head coach Nelson.
