I stole James

Chapter 196 Shh!
New York fans are a very picky bunch. They are picky enough to boo not only the other team's star, but also their own team's star.

Marbury was booed a lot when he was in New York.

But now, the fans are not going to boo him wildly. After all, he was only traded to the Knicks by the Suns in the middle of last season. This season is his first full season in New York.

There are still some fans who feel that they should have some hope, thinking that he can lead the team one step forward.

Before the opening, the fans in New York gave James the most enthusiastic boos.

Although the Cavaliers' record now ranks first in the league, and although James now holds the top spot in the MVP rankings, fans in New York don't think that James' strength has reached that position.

They are really picky, and they have a kind of regional psychological advantage of a basketball mecca.

Those who have not conquered Madison Square Garden, the holy land of basketball, are not convinced.

Well, James once conquered Rock Park before, but it was street ball, and most of these fans sitting in the Madison Square Garden watching the game still disdain it.

So they don't boo James, who are they booing?

Could it be that rookie Chris Paul?Or that Randolph guy who's been in jail?
If you want to be booed, you have to be strong, otherwise you are not qualified to accept their booing.

The boos of the audience reached their peak when James threw chalk,

"Pretend, I think he's going to cry today!"

"I guess he must be ugly when he cries, hahaha..."

"Today we will see this so-called No. [-] team in the league fall in the New York Arena. They can't leave here with ten consecutive victories!"

"LeBron, you are so rubbish, what qualifications do you have to be at the top of the MVP list? Get lost!"

"You are not welcome in New York! Go back to your Cleveland."

"LeBron, you sxxk! Your basketball skills suck!"

After tossing the chalk, James raised an index finger to the fans who were booing him on the sidelines, and stuck it to his lips.

The fans at the scene were a little stunned by James' action. The boos were lowered a little at that moment, but after a moment, the boos were even higher, as if they were going to burst out against James's action.

It's just that James grinned at this and didn't do much else.

On the contrary, Randolph was a little dissatisfied with the group of New York fans booing James, "These fans are really unreasonable idiots!"

James shook his head and said with a smile, "The only way to turn them from booing to cheering is to show up and beat the Knicks and beat them to pain."

Kapono next to him interjected, "The boss is right! That's it!" Since the middle of last season, he has called James the boss, but at that time, few people followed him.

Boozer also insinuated in private that Kapono is a sycophant who shines James' shoes.

But then Boozer and other thorny elements were traded away, and many people began to call James the boss along with Kapono.

Paul tidied up his jersey and tucked his shirt into his pants, "These fans just need to be cleaned up, let's go up and clean them up."

At the same time, on the Knicks side, the players' hearts are not very heavy. Although they currently lose more than they win, with 3 wins and 5 losses, but the season has just begun, there is still hope for the future. There are precedents, there are dark horses at the beginning, and in the end they lose so badly that they can't even make it to the playoffs.

Listening to the boos on the sidelines, Crawford said in disbelief, "I didn't expect these fans to boo that boy from the Cavaliers so loudly. This seems to be the loudest booing the star of the visiting team has received this season. Bar?"

Marbury tied his shoelaces and said with a sneer, "Are you still complaining that the Cavaliers drafted you and then traded you away immediately? There is nothing to complain about, I said, this league is so cruel Ruthless, there is no friendship at all, in its eyes there are only interests, and we are all just its money-making tools.” He came out of the Timberwolves, moved to the Nets and the Suns, and each team was not worth staying joy.

Crawford curled his lips in disdain, "I don't bother to complain. They traded me, and I think I'm lucky. I'm not in that shitty place in Cleveland. I don't want to stay there."

"Recently, they have been in the limelight. They have won nine games in a row and are number one in the league. I heard someone bragging that LeBron is already No.1 in the league. Haha, to be honest, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard .I am naturally disobedient, and today I would like to see how powerful LeBron is.” Marbury fastened his shoelaces tightly, then stood up and walked to the court.

The rest of the Knicks' starters followed suit.

The game is ready to begin.

The starting lineup for the Knicks is: point guard Marbury, shooting guard Crawford, small forward Tim Thomas, power forward Kurt Thomas, center Nazr Mohammed.

The Cavaliers are here as usual, point guard Paul, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward James, power forward Randolph, and center Z.

The two sides jumped the ball, Nazl jumped and won the big Z, the Knicks attacked first, the ball was in the hands of Marbury, and Paul followed.

Although Marbury's reputation has never been good, he still has that strength.

He dribbled the ball skillfully, at a distance of two or three steps away from the three-point line, dribbled the ball back and forth under the crotch, and then suddenly changed hands, handing the ball from his right hand to his left hand, quickly launched a breakthrough, and hit Paul's chest. The Cavaliers broke through inside.

After passing one step inside the free throw line, he noticed that other players of the Cavaliers were helping to defend him, so he immediately stopped and shot.

The ball was scored steadily.

There was a burst of cheers and cheers at the scene.

The Cavaliers attack and the ball advances in Paul's hands.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!..."

Paul took the ball to the top of the arc, leaned against Marbury to stop the ball, and wanted to pass the ball to James who slid across from the right wing.

But Tim Thomas blocked James with his body, preventing him from passing through smoothly.

But James saw that he couldn't pass through, so he immediately changed from crossing to going down, and went down to the basket.

With a slap, Paul slapped the ball sideways from Marbury's side and passed it in, and it was cleverly delivered to James' hands.

James took the ball and took off for a layup.

Nazr rushed forward. He is a player with mediocre talent but can gain a foothold in the league for a long time, relying on his diligent defense.

It's just that his defense didn't come to fruition, because after James confronted him in the air, he took back the basketball he was holding up for a layup, wrapped his hands around his body, and sent it to the ball on the other side of the basket. In the hands of Big Z.

Big Z took off directly after receiving the ball and dunked easily with both hands.

This season, Big Z feels that it is extremely easy to play on the court. With James and Paul as two passers, he can basically have a chance to eat as long as he comes out of the paint.

And now his inside partner Randolph has extremely strong low-post singles ability and mid-range shooting ability. The opponent's inside defensive attention is often restrained by Randolph, and his opportunity has come.

Now Randolph is pulling Kurt Thomas out.
