The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 17 No. 23 jersey (signing status has been changed, please recommend tickets)

This game obviously did not attract much attention. A knight who had lost his soul and a belly that had just turned over was really nothing explosive.There were only a few hardcore fans in the stands, and couples who got free tickets and came in for popcorn and drinks.

In this game, the Cavaliers did not arrange last season's main point guard Mo Williams to start, mainly because Williams missed the training at the beginning of the training camp and did not arrive until a week after the training camp started.What made Scott even more angry was that the first thing Williams said when he saw him was: LeBron is gone, why are you here?
After the game started, Muhammad of the Bobcats won the ball. Although he was only 2.08 meters tall, this tall black and hard player used to be the starter of the Spurs and Duncan on the inside. His ability and experience are not covered.

Stephen Jackson played the position of shooting guard in this game. As a swingman, Jackson is also comfortable in this position. Facing Parker's defense, Jackson threw an unreasonable three-pointer at the beginning.

"It's just a hot hand, I didn't expect to score." Jackson retreated after scoring the goal, as if telling Parker.

Although Munn's personal ability is not outstanding, he has a good mind, which is one of the reasons why Munn can be favored by James.After Jackson made a three-pointer, Moon used his running position to jump out of the gap and also made a three-pointer, but what Moon did not expect was that Gerald Wallace, who he thought he had completely got rid of , as if a ghost suddenly appeared by his side again. Although Wallace failed to block his shot, Moon's shooting movement was deformed after being oppressed by the opponent's defense.

The ball bounced off the backboard, and Varejao tried desperately to get a position under the basket, but even though his headband was crooked because of the card position, he could not shake the iron pile standing like an old tree of Muhammad. position, and when Varejao and Muhammad were pinching each other, Kwame Brown had already grabbed the rebound.

Although known as the "parallel import champion", in fact, no one doubts that Brown's strength is above the middle of the league. It's just that Brown was hand-picked by Jordan, so people's expectations for him are too high.Expectations are also accompanied by pressure, which also makes Brown, who entered the league as a high school student, not adjust his mentality well. The huge pressure crushed Brown's nerves and made Brown's basketball career develop into what it is now.

Brown, who is 2.11 meters tall, and Jamison, who is 2.03 meters tall, are the judges of height. Even if Jamison fights hard, he can't make up for the 8 cm gap between the two. 8 cm is already a height difference of 1-2 positions. Also a gap between a man and a boy!
Brown grabbed the rebound and passed it directly to Wallace. Wallace who got the ball didn't wait for his teammates, and rushed forward with the ball. During the run, he passed Moon and Parker directly, and with a one-handed split The dunk ended the battle. It took less than 5 seconds from Brown grabbing the rebound to Wallace's own fast break dunk!

"The vitality of the forward group of the Bobcats is really not covered." After having 97 McGrady talents, Yuan Man can also realize how good the athletic ability of Jackson and Wallace is.

No one thought that the Bobcats gave the Cavaliers a home game at the beginning of the game. At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats had already led the Cavaliers by double digits 29-19. Jackson and Wallace played particularly well. , almost crushed Moon and Parker in the same position. After James left the Cavaliers, the chance to hold the opponent to open the defensive pass and open the three-pointer was almost completely gone. Only Jamison's mid-range shot was more reliable. .Against Moon, even Dante Cunningham was able to score consecutive goals, and Scott finally had enough of it.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Scott waved his hand and Yuan Man finally appeared.

Although there were not many spectators at the scene, when Yuan Man took off his coat and appeared on the stage, it still caused a commotion.

"Who's that guy in the No. 23 jersey?"

"When did the Cavaliers get an Asian player?"

"Knight 23 Falls"

"No one can wear the number 23 except LeBron!"

It turned out that it was Yuan Man's No. 23 jersey that aroused the audience's discussion.

(about a week ago)

Before the start of the preseason, the team began to assign jersey numbers. Since Yuan Man was the last to enter the team, there was no plan to print Yuan Man's number on the jersey.

"Susan, let's see if there is any spare jersey with a name on it, let Yuan Man wear it first." Byron Scott said without raising his head.

"Okay, I saw that there are several sets of jerseys with the same number and no name embroidered in the warehouse."

"Okay, whatever you want, take one."

"Byron, would you like to see the number?"

"No, it's just a jersey."

The jersey Susan mentioned was the No. 23 jersey prepared for James in the new season, but before James' name was printed on it, it was thrown into the warehouse because of James' "decision".

So, with all kinds of eyes, Yuan Man appeared on the stage wearing the No. 23 jersey!
Regarding Yuan Man's appearance, the players of Bobcats also chattered.

"Wow, is this Asian LeBron?"

"Someone actually wears the number 23 of the Cavaliers."

“Young people these days are really daring.”

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers served from the bottom line. Except for Yuan Man, Scott finally replaced Mo Williams. In this way, except for the small forward position, the players in the other four positions are almost the best in the same position in the team last season. Strong player too.

After doing a pick-and-roll with Jamison, Williams shot directly. Obviously, Williams did not do enough warm-up before the game. Williams, who felt cold as soon as he played, shot a three-point shot. Directly deviated from the basket and flew off the court.

Kwame Brown is even ready to run out of bounds.

However, what the Bobcat players did not expect was that Yuan Man actually appeared on the route away from the basket, caught the basketball missed by Williams with both hands in the air, and hit the board into the basket like a dragonfly in the air. 21-29, the Cavaliers scored first in the second quarter.

"It's okay. It's okay." Stephen Jackson said casually to Yuan Man's tip-up.

Facing Yuan Man's defense, Wallace was full of confidence. A young man who came on as a substitute for Moon could be capable.

Without any feints, Wallace planned to take advantage of his speed to overwhelm Yuan Man. When he broke through to the basket, Wallace shot for a layup, but Yuan Man, who was close behind him defending, pressed the ball directly on the ground. Backboard!

"Return to defense, quickly return to defense!" Jackson, the captain of the team, began to notice.

After grabbing the ball, Yuan Man threw it to Mo Williams and ran forward. When Jackson and Kwame Brown retreated to the basket at the same time, he received a high throw from Williams and made a thunderous move. Splitting the dunk, jumping high, almost falling from the sky, dunking the basketball in the air into the basket with one hand!

"Who is this guy!?" Jackson, who felt the power of Yuan Man's dunk up close, finally felt awe of Yuan Man in his heart!
