The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 82 It's time to perform the real technique
The Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland is hot in a way that was unimaginable before this season.

But after James left, the players here have achieved the No. [-] result in the Eastern Conference. Although it is only the beginning of the season, it is enough to make the fans excited.

Such a strong performance by the players has made the fans here also twisted into one rope, which is more united than when James was there.

"I didn't expect that Cleveland's home atmosphere is still so strong. It doesn't look like LeBron is not here." Joe Johnson, who took the lead to enter the court to warm up, was a little surprised.

Looking at the fans in the field, Josh Smith couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the attendance rate is higher than that of Atlanta."

"Hey, Josh, that's your opponent in this game." Johnson reminded.

Smith looked to the other half, where Yuan Man, wearing the No. 23 jersey, was doing stretching exercises on the sidelines to warm up.

"It's so thin, it won't hurt him." Smith chewed gum, turned around and put the headband on his head, not paying attention to the Asian player.

"Swish"

The ball passed through hollow.

After a good night's sleep, Yuan Man has completely recovered, and it's time to show his real skills in this game.

Sneakers, challenge-1 generation, endorsed by myself, perfect!
Body, didn't do any arm exercises last night, perfect!
Spirit, after a lot of systematic study, has made me more eager to perform on the field, perfect!

If before the start of the competition, Yuan Man was still in a state of constant climbing, then now
Just my best!
In this game, the Cavaliers continued to use the starting lineup from the previous game.

Hawks starting is: center Al - Horford, power forward Marvin - Williams, small forward Josh - Smith, shooting guard Joe - Johnson, point guard Mike - Bibby.

Al Horford is the cornerstone of the current Hawks inside. Since the Hawks selected Horford with the third overall pick in the first round in 2007, he has been the Hawks' starting center.Although the height is only 3 meters, it is a bit disadvantageous to play as a center, but Horford's bottom plate is full of strength, the chassis is solid, and his basic skills are very good.In the three seasons of the Hawks, each season has continued to improve. In the last season, Horford has averaged 2.08 points, 14.2 rebounds, 9.9 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.1% field goal percentage. Acquired when Joe Johnson had most of the ball.This season is the last season of Horford's rookie contract, and the two sides have already begun to discuss renewing a big contract.

Marvin Williams is an inside player who is a shit stick player. His personal ability is average, but he is full of ability to disrupt the game. He has a good mid-range shooting technique and a good ability to seize opportunities. A full-fledged role player, he can also contribute 10.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, which is the key to why Williams can stay in the Hawks and get the recognition of the coach.

Josh Smith needs no introduction. He is an all-round striker who can do everything, but he seems to be not good at anything. You can count on Smith to make 10 or even 6 of 7 shots, but you cannot ask Smith to hit a key goal.Smith himself knows that he is suitable to be the second master, so he doesn't have too much competition for the ball in the team, but if the ball is in Smith's hands, then he would rather shoot from outside the three-point line than pass the ball out, so pundits were surprised to see that Smith averaged around 3 assists per game as well.In addition, Smith's defensive ability is very good. He can defend the third and fourth positions. Although he is not fast, he has a strong body and likes to defend thin players.

In terms of shooting guards, it is the world of "Eagle King" Joe Johnson. Last season, he averaged 21.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 36.9% three-pointers. Johnson is the top card of the Eagles ,no doubt.

In the position of point guard, the Hawks have hoarded as many as three players with starting ability this season. In addition to Mike Bibby who started last season, Kirk Hinrich and the second-year first-round pick Jeff - Teague.However, considering the stability of the team, Bibby still occupies the starting position for the new season, but has been challenged by Teague.

"Hey buddy, is the NBA still used to it?"

Yuan Man jumped on the spot to relax his body, glanced at Smith standing beside him, and said, "Hairbands don't suit you."

Smith was speechless for a moment.

After the first quarter, Smith sat down on the bench with a livid face and said nothing. The relaxed expression before the start of the game has been thrown into the sky.

The score on the field showed 28-17, and the Cavaliers at home led by 11 points!
"Josh, you can't be careless in the second quarter. That guy is no ordinary rookie." Even the boss of the team, Johnson, was a little bit impatient.

Smith clenched his fists and replied fiercely: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

For the encounter in the first quarter, Smith can't bear to look back, but since the protagonist of this book is Yuan Man, the author can only ignore Smith's mood, or plan to review Yuan Man's wonderful performance in the first quarter, and feel Smith's mentality in the first quarter course.

Only 20 seconds into the game, Yuan Man relied on Varejao's screen, received a pass from Williams, and hit an ordinary two-pointer.Smith thought the kid's touch was quite hot.

One minute later, Smith made a 1° pull-up jumper from the left, and under the interference of Smith, he went out of the basket. Varejao grabbed a rebound and made a tip-up.Smith smiled, thinking that as expected, I would die if I defended.

Half a minute later, in almost the same position, with the same dry pull, the ball was hit.Smith thought he might have let up a bit because of his first defensive success.

One minute later, Yuan Man threw off Smith's marking, made an air cut to the basket, received a pass from Varejao, and scored a dunk with both hands.Smith raised his hand, admitted that it was his fault, and lamented that the kid ran so silently!
One and a half minutes later, Yuan Man continued to dribble the ball under his crotch against Smith, then took a step with his left foot and took off to shoot directly. Although Smith's defense did not lose his position and he tried his best when blocking the block, the ball was obedient. Get into the basket.Smith was a little flustered, but he tried his best to defend this ball.

In the first five shots and four goals, Yuan Man showed his fiery touch at the beginning.

After learning "Kaleidoscopic", Yuan Man made 8 of 6 shots in the first quarter and scored 12 points on Smith's head!And almost every offensive method and action is different, making Smith a little hard to guard against.

More importantly, Yuan Man found that after the first quarter, his physical exertion was far less than before, thanks to the experience taught by McGrady and the super sneakers provided by Huili!
