I stole James

Chapter 124 Stevenson's Superstar Dream
The summer of 2003 was an exciting summer for the Cavaliers because they got LeBron James in the draft.

But this summer was a very disappointing summer for Jazz fans.

In this summer, their great Stockton announced his retirement, and Malone also switched to the Lakers in order to touch the championship trophy in the last moments of his career.

The old Jazz team led by Utah Shuangsha completely disintegrated, and the old people left, leaving only one kidney center Greg Ostertag, and standing beside him was a group of childish and promising Uncertain young people, Andre - Kirilenko, Carlos - Arroyo, Raja - Bell, Raul - Lopez and other players.

This is a Jazz team without big-name players, and it is also a Jazz team without All-Star players. At this time, Kirilenko, the best player in their team, has not yet made the All-Star team.

Their team's total wages this season almost failed to meet the league's requirements.

Of course, such a Jazz team will not be favored by people. Before the start of the season, people's predictions for the Jazz team were only slightly better than the Cavaliers. 30 games.

However, in fact, this Jazz team has remained in the ranks of contenders for the playoffs since the start of the game. up.

No matter who comes or goes, the Jazz under the old coach Sloan always has a strong and iron-blooded style of play.

Regarding the result of this game, people predicted before the game that it would be a close game. Judging from the respective performances of the two teams in the recent period, it is indeed hard to tell the winner.

But the enthusiastic Salt Lake City fans would not stop watching the game because of this. They flooded into the Jazz's home arena and filled the seats. Of course, they wanted to see this year's new champion Lang James, but most of them What people care about is the outcome of the Jazz.

Many of them have been watching NBA games since the days when the two elders of the Jazz team led the team to fight against Jordan. It was such a classic. Unfortunately, they failed to cross the mountain of Jordan and won a championship for the team. trophy.

When can we win the championship?This question has been lingering in their hearts. Once they were full of hope, but then they were full of disappointment. They could only shake their heads helplessly at the final result.

But even so, they still firmly support the Jazz.

Salt Lake City is their residence, and the Jazz Energy Solutions Arena is their home field.

They are one of the craziest and fanatical fan groups in the NBA. This is the devil's home court that makes visiting team players feel horrible in the league, and there are boos all over the sky for the visiting team.

As soon as he played, James learned that the fans here are unfriendly to him, and the crazy boos are waiting for him, drowning him.

He walked out of the player tunnel with a blank expression on his face, and walked to the field to stand with his teammates. Now he is no longer a rookie who just played his first NBA game, and he is rarely affected by the behavior of these fans on the scene.

He understood a truth, the louder the booing, the more he had to respond with a brilliant performance in order to suppress it.

The Jazz's starting lineup today is point guard Carlos Arroyo, shooting guard Deshaun Stevenson, small forward Andrei Kirilenko, power forward Michael Ruffin, center Greg - Ostertag.

The Cavaliers' starting five are point guard JR-Bremmer, shooting guard Miles, small forward James, power forward Boozer, and center Z.

The two sides jumped the ball, the game started, and the Cavaliers attacked first.

Bremer dribbled the ball across half court, then passed it straight to James, who landed at the top of the key.

As soon as James got the ball, Kirilenko pounced on him. He would not leave enough room for James to shoot from the outside.

James released the ball and dribbled it, and with a bang, the basketball hit the floor. He leaned on Kirilenko for a while, wanting to try and see if he couldn't bully Kirilenko with his body.

However, James found that Kirilenko did have very good defensive experience and awareness. Kirilenko took half a step back, which was not only a relief, but also did not lose his defensive position, which did not allow James to find a chance.

So James didn't continue to rush in, but took the ball and retreated outward, trying to make an adjustment before making plans after withdrawing.

"Hush! Parallel imports! Parallel imports!"

"You bastard! You bastard! LeBron is a bastard!"

"A rookie is a rookie! You have no guts! I was guarded by AK!"

……

Blockbuster boos sounded, to James.

Whoops, just stepping back and being booed, the fans here are really unreasonable.James couldn't help smiling bitterly.

Then he saw Miles cut to the basket from the outside, he reacted quickly, hit the pass, and sent the ball out.

Myers received the ball and went straight to the layup. Deshaun Stevenson chased after him, trying to reach out to stop Myers' shot, but he couldn't pull it. Myers succeeded. After scoring this goal, James received an assist.

"Parallel imports! Parallel imports! Cowardly imports!"

"Cowards just can't score goals by themselves!"

"LeBron, you play so badly!"

The Salt Lake City fans continued their frantic firepower, targeting James even though James sent a clever assist.

They just want to interfere with James, regardless of how James is playing.

Looking back, the Jazz attacked, and Carlos Arroyo dribbled the ball from the left to the left wing position, jumped up and passed the ball over Bremer's head to Stevenson who slipped to the left low post , Stevenson took the ball and attacked the Cavaliers basket.

He took advantage of the rhythm, paused for a while, and then started quickly, passed Boozer's supplementary defense, and slipped from the left side of the basket to the right side.

With this ball, Stevenson felt very good about himself the moment he shot it.

His entire shooting action and rhythm just now looked like a superstar.

You know, when he participated in the draft in 200, his template was "Michael Jordan", that's right, Jordan, the god of basketball. It can be seen how high this guy is in the eyes of scouts.

His scouting report reads: Very special in terms of strength, great athleticism, great ball handler, superstar personality...  

In short, he is a super giant embryo.

With just a slap, the basketball he shot was slapped vigorously on the basket by James rushing towards the basket.

Capped by James!

Stevenson's giant dreams awoke.
