Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 354 Cameo James?

With the start of the preseason, the players are really getting into shape, especially the two rookies, who have tempered for a summer, and now they can't wait to play early.

This year's preseason began on October 10th, with a total of 5 games, 8 of which were against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James will definitely not play in this kind of game, but he usually goes to watch the scene, pay attention to the newcomers of the team, who is performing well, and he must be aware of his strengths and weaknesses.

The Lakers played the Cavaliers for the first time. As a rookie on the coaching staff, Walton personally took the lead. He formed a rookie combination of Brogdon, Murray, Barnes, Jeff Green and Thackeray.

The Cavaliers were led by assistant coach Drew, and they sent Bill Garnish as a substitute.

Although Bill is a well-known star, the Cavaliers coaching staff needs to try to figure out his ways before the regular season. Tyronn Lue is somewhat worried about the compatibility of the two attacking guards, Bill and Irving.

But fortunately, they have the trump card of James in their hands, and it will be over by handing over everything to James.

The results of the preseason are not included in the regular season, so it is not as formal as the regular season, and there are not so many rules and regulations.

So James and Yuan Qingshan sat directly in the auditorium in suits and leather shoes, so that they could chat.

James stared at the ever-changing situation on the court, and Beal received a pass from Richard Jefferson inside and outside, and hit a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the left wing.

The shot was decisive, and James was very satisfied. Bill's three-pointer was more stable than JR and Shumpert combined.

The Cavaliers added 3 points, and James said happily to Yuan Qingshan: "Your reinforcements in the summer are very good. I won't mention the North Carolina Blackhawks and lottery picks. How did you pick Brogdon? I watched the highlights of the training camp. This guy has the strength to break into the lottery zone."

Yuan Qingshan was also very happy when his teammates were praised by a superstar of James' level. He replied: "The reason why many teams don't want to choose him is that he is too old. He was born in 1992 and is 3 years older than me. The managers probably think that his body and skills are fixed, and he has no potential to tap."

James agrees that the NBA is a stage that emphasizes talent after all, and what is invisible is always beautiful, so those 19-year-old and 20-year-old young people look so attractive.

Brogdon is different. Most people will participate in the draft in their first year of college, but he has finished his graduate studies. God knows what he thinks.

The media joked that basketball might just be Brogdon's hobby, and what he really likes is reading.

Whoa!
The two were chatting quietly, and the fans suddenly cheered, it must be the Lakers scoring a goal.

Yuan Qingshan looked up, and the big screen began to play back.

The Lakers had the ball, and Green threw off the defender and cut into the basket. After receiving a pass from Murray's crotch, he flew and dunked with both hands.

With 2 points, the Cavaliers are already 20 points behind.

James shook his head in embarrassment and said: "Derek Williams is obviously not Green's opponent. Your bench is much stronger than last year, and the players you signed back are all cost-effective and practical players."

Yuan Qingshan nodded with satisfaction. The joining of Beverly, Brogdon and Jeff Green has indeed brought earth-shaking changes to the Lakers bench.

The biggest disadvantage of the Lakers last season was that the lineup was not deep enough. As a result, this season came a big reversal, and the second lineup was about to catch up with the starters of the weak teams.

The game continues.

The Cavaliers had almost no cooperation here, relying on Bill's three-pointer to continue his life. The North Carolina Blackhawk Barnes personally led him. Bill was also tired from playing. He shot better than Barnes, but his body was slightly weaker.

"By the way, LeBron, have you contacted Barnes?" Yuan Qingshan asked curiously. Players with good defense like Barnes are generally favored by strong teams.

James shook his head: "We don't have that much salary space. We can't expect the Warriors to sign with us first and then trade, right? Besides, Barnes won't be willing to serve me as a substitute. This guy went for the maximum salary back then."

Yuan Qingshan spread his arms and said with a smile, "We didn't give a maximum salary."

James looked at Yuan Qingshan's appearance of being cheap and good-looking, and wanted to avoid the camera and beat him up: "Don't make sarcastic remarks, people are looking at your starter. Otherwise? Do you think he is a die-hard fan of the Lakers?"

Yuan Qingshan smiled without saying a word, and said to himself: Never mind, anyway, we have someone who can deal with you next season.

The score was finally fixed at 87 to 71. The Lakers won a big victory. The fans felt comfortable, and the popularity of the Lakers increased greatly.

The second game was scheduled for three days later, and it was still at the Staples Center, so the Cavaliers simply did not return to Cleveland, and found a hotel in the city center to stay.

On a whim, Yuan Qingshan took James to visit the crew of "Avengers 3", and announced: Mr. James would be happy to make a guest appearance.

James:? ? ?

The Russell brothers were so excited that they immediately dragged James to the dressing room. James was carried to the dressing room, and before entering the door, he did not forget to turn his head and give Yuan Qingshan a sad look.

Yuan Qingshan and Scarlett covered their mouths and laughed until their stomach hurt.

James successfully filmed a 10-second scene, which is the scene where Thanos confronts Iron Man and Doctor Strange in the street, and he plays a miscellaneous soldier of the villain.

Although there are no lines, there is a close-up where he wants to show a hysterical desire to destroy everything.

This is a bit difficult for James, just connecting those few words is enough to give him a headache, but also try to figure out the character's heart?
Are you kidding, what kind of inner drama is there in the 10-second miscellaneous soldiers.

Anthony Russo considered whether to work on James' clothing to reflect the Cleveland Cavaliers, or simply turn his weapon into a basketball.

LeBron James used a basketball to fight Iron Man in the street, destroying the world?

James complained helplessly: "Stop playing around, or the league will sue you for copyright infringement."

"Okay, okay, we don't involve the NBA, but we have to shoot the one just now, your destructive desire is not hysterical enough!" Anthony Russell said, waving the script.

Yuan Qingshan and Scarlett: "Pfft, hahahaha!"

In short, LeBron James is being played badly in Hollywood.

On October 10, the two sides played the second game. This time Walton also removed Barnes and Jeff Green and replaced them with Brown and Bass.

Bill has been depressed for three days and has been shutting himself in the room.

He lost the first game to the Cavaliers, which made it difficult for him to accept.

So Bill went crazy as soon as he came up in the second game, scoring 40 points in the half, and knocking Brogdon stupid.

The Cavaliers won the game, and Bill felt comfortable. After the game, he followed James to bid farewell to the Lakers. Yuan Qingshan was very polite and said something like welcome to play next time.

James recalled being forced to put on smoky makeup by Anthony Russell, and boarded the plane in a hurry without looking back.
