I stole James

Chapter 200 Against the Pistons
James scored 53 points, making him the first player to score more than 50 points in the "basketball mecca" Madison Square Garden after Michael Jordan.

The Cavaliers successfully left New York with a ten-game winning streak and headed to the next away game.

The ten-game winning streak is the longest winning streak this season, so the Cavaliers' record is also firmly at the top of the league.

Which team can end the Cavaliers' winning streak?
This is a question that can provoke discussions among many fans and media commentators.

Must be the Pistons, must be the Celtics...

Maybe everyone has their own answer, but the team that will face the Cavaliers has only one answer, and that is themselves, and the Cavaliers' winning streak will be ended by them.

The Pistons are very confident now. They were the champions last season. Their goal this season is to defend their title and win a second consecutive championship.

For such a team, any team in the league can challenge them, and they naturally don't think the Cavaliers can win them at their home court.

The only thing that affected them was that their starting center Ben Wallace was suspended for six games in the "Auburn Hills Palace fight" that just happened a few days ago, and he cannot play this game.

Five days ago, the gang fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the Pistons, was the largest, most punished, and worst-affecting gang fight in NBA history.

Because of this incident, Artest of the Pacers was suspended for 73 games, all salaries were suspended, and the loss was as high as $499.5 million; Jackson was suspended for 30 games, and Jermaine O'Neal was suspended for 15 games.

In addition to Ben Wallace, the Pistons also had Billups, Coleman and Campbell each banned for one game.

In total, nine players have been banned for more than 9 games.

But even if Big Ben can't play, they are still very confident in ending the Cavaliers' winning streak.

Last season's FMVP Billups said in an interview: "Yes, we will end their winning streak, there is no doubt about it."

"Roar God" Rasheed - Wallace also said, "I can suppress Randolph on the court, Chauncey can fix Paul, Richard can beat Tony Allen, Antonio can use his muscles to crush big players. Z, Tayshawn was great defensively, he had absolutely no problem with LeBron, so I can't think of any reason we couldn't win."

When reporters throw Rasheed and Billups at the Cavaliers players in an attempt to generate some explosive talk that will make for a compelling story.

James replied, "It's easy to say, but we only care about doing it. The game will be played soon, and the answer will be revealed soon. So, we will know the result."

James' answer set the tone for this question. Originally, Randolph did have something in his heart to say back to Rasheed Wallace, the predecessor of the Trail Blazers, but James said so, and he also said that You will know after the game is over, there will always be some people who will be slapped in the face.

This slightly flat response disappointed reporters who were expecting a gunpowder-filled response.

How can it be so plain and watery? The Pistons have stepped on their heads. You should say a few harsh words anyway, otherwise how can we write reports.

……

……

Before the start of the game, James went to say hello to Darko Milicic, who had been pushed on the bench by Pistons coach Larry Brown. After all, he was a classmate of the same class.

Although Milicic is a bit poor now, James still feels that this guy has some strength, but his luck was completely exhausted at the moment he became the second pick. The coach is really unlucky. Maybe another coach can spend more time cultivating. Even if he can't become a superstar, he can still become a good role player.

I hope he can get a chance to play in this game. The rookie season has passed, and this buddy hasn't played much time yet.James thought to himself and walked onto the court.

After that, the game started quickly.

Indeed, even if Ben Wallace can't play, the Pistons' lineup is still very strong.

The starting point guard is FMVP Chauncey Billups, the shooting guard is CIC King Richard Hamilton, the small forward is the little prince Tyshawn Prince, and the power forward is Rasheed Wallace. The center is Antonio McDyess.

Cavaliers here is business as usual, Paul, Tony - Allen, James, Randolph and Big Z.

The Cavaliers attacked first, Paul held the ball to meet Billups, broke through after a feint, and made a stop jumper.

It's just that Billups' defense is in place, and Paul's shooting is solid.

After all, he is an FMVP. Although Billups has not been a celebrity throughout his career, he is still very strong.

James couldn't help but want to throw a sticky card to Billups, but he held back.

Although Billups is very good, but better is yet to come, he will not easily use the sticky card that he finally got.

Roaring Tianzun grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to Billups, who dribbled the ball forward.

He gets to the top of the frontcourt, throws the ball in to Rasheed Wallace in the low post on the right, and Rasheed hits Randolph.

Randolph tried his best to support Rasheed behind him.

"You want to blow me up and suppress me? Don't be stupid, let's see who can blow me up." Randolph yelled behind Rashid.

"Then let you see it!" Rasheed let go of the ball, leaning back against Randolph.

But Randolph's tonnage is really good, and he doesn't suffer in terms of strength. He just gritted his teeth and held on, preventing Rasheed from going deep into the basket.

Rasheed had no choice but to turn around and make a jumper after a hit.

Randolph took off, raised his hand to block the block, and the basketball was not blocked.

But the ball didn't go in and hit the basket.

James took the rebound and handed it over to Paul, who organized the offense.

Paul dribbled the ball from the left to the frontcourt, and Billups followed him closely, and even made provocative words, "Rookie, come over to me, see if you can pass me!"

Paul really wants to beat Billups a little bit. As a rookie, he is still not calm enough and is easy to be teased by the old fritters on the court.

But he saw James gesturing towards him, and remembered what James had been saying to him before, "As a point guard, you are the brain of the team. You must be calm when playing on the court. If you can't Calm down, the team will be in chaos."

He took a deep breath, stopped the ball, and passed the ball to James at the top of the key.

James faced Prince, and after dribbling, he stepped back for a three-pointer. The basketball passed Prince's finger, who was one step ahead, and fell firmly into the net. The Cavaliers scored first.
