I stole James

Chapter 150 MVP! (joint chapter)

James' two consecutive shots were blocked by Artest, and his physical fatigue had a great impact on his movement and actions.

And Artest, who has been closely following him tonight, seems to be able to run forever without being affected by physical fitness, and he really has a cow-like body.

When the Pacers were attacking, James retreated to the backcourt, gasping for breath with his hands on his waist, he didn't want to move his feet to defend, he was so tired, his feet seemed to be filled with lead.

But he gritted his teeth and rushed forward. He is the leader of the team. If he wants to lead the team well, he should take the lead on the field.

Just yelling to defend and defend, but just let teammates defend, and hide by yourself to paddle and rest, obviously it won't work, there are not so many fools, people's eyes are always sharp, what you say, do it again Whatever, people will see it.

He stood in front of Artest who had the ball.

"Rookie, are you out of strength? Can't you? You might as well give up, anyway, you can't win. We will win this game." Artest put on a three-threat pose and said to James with a smile , He has already noticed that James is fighting to the limit of his physical fitness.

"So much nonsense! The game isn't over yet! Don't get too complacent." James said with no expression on his face.

"Then let me test how many catties you have left." Artest let go of the ball and hit James sideways.

Artest leaned hard, and James took a step back. If he didn't consume so much energy, he shouldn't be knocked back.

Artest has never been on the court like him, has never rested after the game, and has not been shouldered at both the offensive and defensive ends like him, so Artest's physical energy consumption is not as great as James.

At this moment, when Artest saw that James was forced to retreat, he was even more unreasonable. He kept hitting sideways like this, trying to push James in, to the position under the basket, so as to get a good shot. .

James guessed his mind, and there was no good way for a while, except to step back and maintain his defensive position as much as possible.

Torturing opponents with strong physical strength, James often does. When opponents are treated like this by him, they often have nothing to do.

Now the same situation happened to him.

If you take another step back, the basket will be close at hand. Artest only needs to use his physical strength to force him away, and then he can make a layup.

Can't let him score easily, can't retreat anymore, James gritted his teeth hard, kicked his legs hard on the ground, trying his best to use the ground strength to stabilize his body, and prevent Artest from forcing him back.

Boom!The two collided again.

But this time James barely held on, only retreating a little bit, and did not leave enough room for Artest to shoot.

Artest did not continue to push in, but instead received the ball and squeezed with his body, as long as he squeezed James away or swayed away, and then shot again, it was the same.

He first swayed to the left, made a fake turn, then turned back, circled to the other side, took off at a slant, stretched his hand, and sent the basketball towards the basket.

He thought that James had exhausted his physical strength when he forced himself to hold on at the last blow, and if he was feigned by himself, he should have no way to react to defend his attack.

The basketball was picked up by him, and it would be sent into the basket in just a second.

But with a snap, the basketball didn't fall into the basket, but was pressed against the backboard by James' big hand.

This kid still has strength?Artest was surprised.

In fact, he guessed right, James did not have the strength to keep up. If he hadn't made an extra fake move to give James time to catch his breath, but had jumped directly to the basket, James would have had to stand The ground watched him score the ball.

But he still made a feint of inertia, and handed over the opportunity he had grasped.

James is now relying on dead support and willpower to drive his body.

take off!Cover!go do it!James' mind and heart were simmering.

The body was pulled up from the ground by him, and the hand was swung out by him.

In the end, the ball was also blocked by him and hit the backboard.

He put the basketball in his arms, then gritted his teeth and drove it, and walked towards the frontcourt quickly.

To play fast break!This is a great opportunity.

Artest immediately came to his senses and turned around to catch up. He came back first, and James returned to the backcourt one step ahead, staying on the route that James broke through.

James braked the speed, boom, changed hands under the crotch, slowed down, and retreated with the ball to the right three-point line.

Artest took a step forward, but he didn't intend to leave James with outside shooting space.

James slows down, the essence of human creep, he collects the ball, lifts it, and lifts it overhead.

He's about to shoot!In this game, James made a lot of three-pointers.Artest was a little anxious, and he jumped forward, jumping forward to block the shot.

Just in time!James suddenly changed his rhythm, speeded up, made a shooting posture, took off, and slammed into Artest in the air, and threw the basketball out the moment he hit it.

Beep!The whistle sounded.

Damn, he was cheated!Artest cursed inwardly.

That's right, James deliberately wanted to make him jump and then make a foul.

It's a trick that another future James with a big beard will often use.

At this moment, if he wants to shoot a three-pointer from the outside, due to physical reasons, he may not be able to ensure his accuracy and successfully throw the basketball in.

So Artest's jump was exactly what he wanted.

Making a foul can not only allow him to score points more securely at the free throw line, but also allow him to take the opportunity to recover his physical fitness.

James slowly walked to the free throw line.

After getting the basketball given by the referee, he slapped it a few times, and then held the basketball in his hand again, holding it for a long time without throwing the ball.

It really makes people wonder if he is constipated.

brush!The first free throw was scored.

Do it again, slowly and unhurriedly, and score another free throw.

There was also the last free throw, and he made all three free throws. He scored 53 points, and the difference between the two sides was reduced to 4 points.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!..." When James made a free throw, some fans shouted loudly.

The fans used to call him by his name, but now they called "MVP"!For the first time, fans called him "MVP" in the arena!
This is a completely different feeling. "MVP" not only represents the best player on his team, but also the best player in the league recognized by fans.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!..." The shouts became louder and louder. At first, some fans shouted, and then more and more fans joined in and shouted together.

Calling a rookie "MVP" is incredible.

But Barkley said that James' performance tonight is well-deserved, and he has indeed played MVP-level strength and demeanor.

Looking back, the Pacers attacked and the ball was handed over to Reggie Miller. At the critical moment, the veteran of the team was still the pinnacle of their team. This is a guy who dared to be tough even Jordan.

Reggie Miller did not disappoint the Pacers. He pulled up from the outside and it was a standard three-point shot. Even though McInnis' defense had already sealed his face, the ball was still hollow.

Kenny Smith said that Reggie Miller's goal reminds people of the "Miller moment". contribute.

The point difference returned to 7 points.

McGinnis had the ball across half court, and James pulled up to the high post on the right to play a pick-and-roll with him.

At this time, James' footsteps were a little more flexible, because he took the opportunity to take a free throw just now, and because he gritted his teeth and rushed past the critical point, his body gradually adapted to this level of fatigue.

McGinnis dribbled the ball around James' side, and Artest had to switch defenses.

McGinnis passed the ball back to James, but as soon as James got the ball, the Pacers' players retracted towards him.

Now everyone knows that the Cavaliers' shooting rights are mostly concentrated in the hands of James, so the three players clamped towards him.

James held the ball in his hand, and when the double-teaming player got closer to him, he raised the ball over his head, made a fake pass, and sent the basketball to the big Z under the basket like a cannonball. Seizing the opportunity, he jumped up gently and put the basketball into the basket.

"Damn it, that rookie from the Cavaliers hurt us too much. How should we limit him? Now that he can attack by himself and pass the ball on the field, it will make us very passive. Is there any way?" Pacer The team coach Carlisle stared at his defensive assistant and asked, and at the same time glanced at other coaching staff members, hoping that someone could come up with a good plan.

The defensive assistant stretched out his hand a little nervously to touch his hair on the edge of the Mediterranean that was about to fall out, "It's too difficult. Artest has done well enough, but he still can't guard him. LeBron's height makes him Good passing vision. Once we double-team and let the Cavaliers have someone open, he may pass the ball to help the Cavaliers play offense. And he is strong enough, handles the ball well, and the breakthrough is first-class. It is difficult ah……"

"It goes without saying these obvious facts, can you give me some suggestions?" Carlisle interrupted the defensive assistant's speech.

The defensive assistant closed his mouth, lowered his head, and stopped talking, but kept reaching out to stroke his head.

"We can only bet on whether he will pass the ball or attack by himself. It is difficult to take care of both sides." An assistant coach suggested.

Carlisle glanced at him and didn't speak. The assistant coach continued, "He hasn't rested the entire game. I guess his physical fitness has reached its limit. At this time, he can't guarantee his hit rate. Why don't we block the shot?" His passing, forcing him to attack, as long as he can't score, we..."

Carlisle waved his hand and didn't listen any more, he already knew what the other party meant.

He raised his hand to call a timeout, and the arrangement went on.

After the timeout, when James got the ball, the Cavaliers players without the ball were firmly watched, especially the big Z and other offensive threats.

The Pacers no longer let people come over to double-team James for Artest's defense as before, or the players next to them will quickly come up to harass, but immediately retreat to the person who guards them.

James dribbled to the top of the frontcourt, and Artest lowered his center of gravity and stood in front of him.

Big Z slowly moved over at this time, obviously trying to cover James.

But Artest saw the opportunity quickly, took a quick step, snatched it, and was separated between the two, breaking their cooperation.

Boom, James patted the ball, took a step, and stepped in the direction of the big Z.

Artest also followed the slide and took a step across, continuing to hold his defensive position.

But James did not continue to break through, but pulled back sharply, pulled the ball back, and walked in the opposite direction, just using the big Z to block Artest.

"Three points!" After seeing James pull the ball over, the fans had already raised the ball and made a shooting motion, and someone shouted!

"Middle! Middle! Middle!"

"But you must invest in it!"

The basketball was thrown by James, spinning and flying towards the basket.

"YES! YES! YES! He made a shot!" The fans burst out instantly, and the sound waves of the audience washed over the arena.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!..."

James clenched his fist and waved it vigorously a few times!

He scored 56 points, only 2 points left!1 minute to the end of the game!
Carlisle called a timeout again. If they can't score in the next attack, the Cavaliers may really reverse the game.

After returning from the timeout, the Pacers played very patiently, and they wanted to ensure that the goal was scored.

The ball is in Reggie Miller's hands.

Kenny Smith says Reggie Miller will hit another [-]?Will the Miller moment return?
With 10 seconds left in the shot clock, Miller moved, dribbled and broke through, and James jumped from the side to help McInnis defend.

In this way, Artest was empty, and Miller gave the ball to Artest.

Artest took off and shot, "Can Artest make this crucial goal for the Pacers?" Kenny Smith shouted.

James, who rushed towards Miller, saw that Miller actually passed the ball to Artest. He was anxious, turned back and flew at Artest.

Snapped!
James' hand hit Artest's hand and it was a foul.

The ball missed and Artest went to the free throw line.

"You can't make free throws, and you will leave Cleveland with a loss!" James whispered as he approached Artest.

Crack!Artest tried to be rude, but James walked away, and the fans behind the Cavaliers basket were making loud noises, trying to interfere with Artest's free throws.

brush!The first penalty was scored.

Artest was a little relieved. The team had a three-point lead. Even if the opponent made a three-pointer at the last moment, it would still be overtime. In overtime, this rookie must not be able to hold on.

He patted the ball and took the second free throw.

Bang, the basketball hit the edge of the basket and bounced out.

"Oh! Didn't make it!" Carlisle clapped his hands regretfully.

However, the rebound was grabbed by the Pacers, and the most critical rebound was taken by O'Neal.

"Crack!" Cavaliers fans couldn't help but curse out!

Jermaine O'Neal held the basketball, turned around and wanted to take off and dunk the basketball into the basket.

But, with a slap, James quickly started from behind him and slapped the basketball away.

James gets the basketball and drives forward with the ball.

Now it's Carlisle's turn to be rude!

Artest quickly chased behind James.Can't let this rookie layup, can't let him score!
James took the ball beyond the three-point line in the frontcourt.

"Do you want to rush to shoot a three-pointer? Or take a two-pointer first?" Barkley shouted loudly.

At his yell, James took off and shot a three-pointer.

James did what future elementary school students often do.

When Artest saw James jumping to shoot a three-pointer, he was anxious and rushed from behind James, waving his palm forward vigorously.

With a slap, he missed the basketball that James shot, and it caught James' hand.

"Schete!" Just as James' hand was patted, he cursed, oh shit!

"Bang!" The basketball hit the rim's neck and bounced.

Fortunately, it is not 3+1!Artest was nervous and wanted to let go.

The bounced basketball fell straight into the basket with a swipe.

FXXK!Artest roared.

So did Carlisle on the sidelines.

The fans at the scene seemed to be crazy, shouting loudly, "LeBron! LeBron! LeBron!...MVP! MVP! MVP!..."

"It's really exciting. The Cavaliers evened the score. James is amazing tonight!" Barkley exclaimed loudly.

James walked to the free throw line, picked up the basketball, and took a deep breath. As long as he can make this free throw, he can score 60 points and help the team overtake the score.

The arena was quiet, and the fans were afraid that they would interfere with James' crucial free throw by making noise.

"You can't make a penalty, you can't make a penalty!" Artest also imitated James just now, yelling at James.

You will interfere with me, I will not interfere with you?

James glanced at him, "No, I'm going to score this one! Just watch."

James tosses the ball.

The fans let out a whoosh and began to breathe.

The basketball spins in the air,

"brush"!
The ball went in!James made the crucial free throw.

The Cavaliers took the lead.
