I stole James

Chapter 184 The Cavaliers Have Selected Another Treasure
"It seems that the rookie is also okay, the ball control is very stable and smooth."

"Indeed, see, LeBron is actively encouraging him to play."

"Just now Tinsley was shaken by him and almost fell to the ground. This shot was wonderful!"

"Looking forward to the connection between him and LeBron! Otherwise, it's useless to play well. The Cavaliers will always be LeBron's team!"

"That's right!"

……

The home fans applauded Paul in response to James' call, while discussing the goal enthusiastically.

Looking back, the Pacers attacked, Tinsley brought the ball over, and gave the ball to Stephen Jackson at the top of the key.

Newbell and Paul immediately stepped forward to double-team Jackson.

Before being double-teamed, Jackson passed the ball through the gap between the two, trying to pass the ball to Artest who moved to the perimeter.

But as soon as the ball was passed, bursts of applause rang out from the scene. James made a midway shot and stole the basketball.

James dribbles the ball to the frontcourt.

Artest quickly turned around to catch up, and Jackson quickly followed.

Paul and Newbell also followed from the left and right.

James took the ball to the frontcourt, and when he was about to reach the basket, he looked back at Artest, who was coming from the middle, and then took off.

Artest pounced forward and jumped, trying to block James' ball.

But the James took off and made a dodge in the air, drifting from one side of the basket to the other, dodging Artest, and backhanded the basketball into the basket.

"LeBron! LeBron! LeBron!  …"

On the bench, Kapono continued to be the towel man of the Cavaliers. In fact, this season, because the Cavaliers have many newcomers joining, Kapono's position is a bit awkward. He has no defense and only catches the ball and shoots three-pointers. But he doesn't have the ability to run in the air, so in a few preseason games, he was almost squeezed to the end of the bench.

But he is still an optimistic towel man. When James scored a goal, he stood up from the bench with the greatest enthusiasm and continued to shake and cheer, and infected his teammates sitting on the bench with his enthusiasm, pulling everyone together Swing cheers.

In fact, this can play a positive role in promoting the chemical reaction of the team.

On the field, Cavaliers teammates came over to high-five James one after another, applauding his wonderful performance.

Artest and Jackson looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning in their eyes. This kid is a bit difficult to deal with, what to do?
Next, the Pacers passed the ball to Jackson from the outside. Jackson used his speed to get past Newbell. Newbell's movement speed was still a bit slow and he couldn't keep up.

But when Jackson broke in, he suddenly found that the Cavaliers were not empty. Randolph and James closed the door, forcing him to pass the ball back to Tinsley.

Tinsley pulled up from the outside to shoot a three-pointer, Paul quickly rushed to interfere, and this shot was a non-stick shot.

Big Z took the basketball, handed it to James, James handed it to Paul, and then followed up.

Paul rushed forward with the ball. This time, the Pacers players returned to the defense quickly. Paul rushed into the frontcourt, and three Pacers players surrounded him.

Paul stopped the ball and turned around, passed the ball to James who fell beyond the three-point line and was unguarded.

James received the ball and made an open three-pointer.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle slapped his palm fiercely, "Damn, how could he be left open on the perimeter! Schett!"

The Cavaliers fans at the scene were very happy to watch. The team's main control rookie and the boss LeBron connected and cooperated, which is really good.

This is hope.

The opening turned out to be like this. The Pacers didn't score a point and were beaten by the Cavaliers in a 7-0 offensive climax.

This was beyond the expectations of many people, and Carlisle hurriedly asked for a timeout.

Carlisle asked the players to strengthen the defense against James, just like defending James in the playoffs.

In the opening 7 minutes of the Cavaliers, James scored 5 points. Of course, he must focus on defense.

Carlisle said to his players, don't let the laziness of the summer wear down your energy on the court, run!move!Guard up!
Return to the field after a timeout.

The Pacers scored a goal with a jumper after Jackson forced a breakthrough, helping the team stabilize their position.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Paul still controlled the ball. After James fell to the outside line, he didn't stop there to watch, but cut to the basket. Artest followed him closely, and Jackson also paid a lot of attention to him. body.

After James cut in, he staggered with teammate Randolph. Randolph took advantage of the situation to help him block Artest who was chasing behind.

Austin Croshere, who was in charge of man-marking Randolph, quickly left Randolph to make up for James.

At this time, Randolph turned around and moved in the opposite direction to James, and Artest continued to chase James without Randolph.

Randolph came out of space and no one was looking at him.

With a snap, Paul made a quick ground-thump pass to Randolph.

The ball was passed beautifully and in place. Randolph caught the ball comfortably, and he was able to pull up a jump shot without making too many adjustments. The basketball swiped into the net.

"Last season, the Cavaliers couldn't find a second good passer who could pass the ball like Paul when the opponent was sternly marking and surrounding James, even if they had a big Z on the team. Players like Boozer who have a certain ability to score points are also a little difficult to fully display their scoring ability. After they drafted Paul this season, they seem to be able to solve this problem." Barkley clapped his hands excitedly and said.

Kenny Smith nodded, "He passed the ball very spiritually. We say that a point guard must have an overall view. He can only dribble, only play singles, and he can't be an excellent No. 1." You have to pay attention to the dynamic changes on the field and make appropriate decisions at any time.

Not only the dynamic changes of your teammates, but also the dynamic changes of your opponents must be carefully observed, and you can read the adjustments and changes of your opponents at any time to drive the team to break through the opponent's defense and complete the final score.

Judging from the opening shots of the Cavaliers, Paul does have the potential to become a good point guard.He handles the ball very steadily, plays without timidity on the court, is very seasoned, and has the style of a general.

If he can keep playing like this, then the combination of him and James should be able to make a big deal. "

Barkley said with a smile, "It seems that the Cavaliers have picked another treasure this year? This draft has a good vision."
