Chapter 77 Against the Knights

On November 2007, 11, the Philadelphia 7ers, who had a three-day break, sat at home to meet tonight's opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Two hours before the start of the game, the Wachovia Center Stadium was packed, and Philadelphia fans used the most practical way to pay for tickets to show their support for the triumphant team.

"Alex, why don't you buy one of Channing's No. 0 jerseys? We've all bought them."

"Yeah, Channing is the best rookie in Philadelphia. I heard that he went to Toronto and beat Bosh in the last game!"

"His 5 blocks in the last game helped us beat the Raptors!"

"Channing's change of hand against Duncan also ranked first in the top five goals!"

"What's even more rare is that Qian also has a handsome and charming oriental face. My bedroom is covered with his posters. Without his company, I will lose sleep."

After listening to the twittering of the friends, the girl named Alex looked cold. Although she is from Philadelphia, she is not here to cheer for the home team tonight. The domineering little emperor in Cleveland is Alex's favorite. .

"Hmph, just wait, my king will beat up that little boy you like hard." Alex pursed his mouth in disdain.

The player entrance ceremony began. This was the second time Channing ran into the stadium from the player tunnel at home, which was completely different from the last time.

After two games, Channing has conquered his teammates with his strength. His order of appearance is ranked fourth from the bottom. Behind him are only Reed, Sr. Miller and Iguodala. With a good position.

With explosive dunks, brutal blocking, tenacious defense, and a handsome face, Channing has also gained a large number of fans. When he played this time, Channing got a burst of cheers, even the cheers when he played with Iguodala compared.

"If you have enough strength, you will have a corresponding reputation!" Chan Ning is very confident in himself, and his future will be worked out bit by bit with his own hands.

It was the opponent's turn to play, and to Channing's surprise, the strong black man who played last for the Cavaliers won the cheers of the audience.

"This is Philadelphia, our home stadium, who is more popular than us?"

"Look more carefully, Qian, he is the emperor of the entire league." Iguodala patted Channing on the shoulder, as if he was not surprised by the abnormal behavior of the fans.

It turned out that he was James!No wonder you are so arrogant!
Chan Ning took advantage of the pre-match handshake and took a sneak peek. James looked a little lower than him, but he was very strong, with broad shoulders and well-developed muscles. If he was placed in rural China, he must be a top bricklayer.

The game started quickly, and the Philadelphia 76ers sent point guard Andre Miller, shooting guard Willie Green, small forward Andre Iguodala, power forward Channing, center Dalembert, Channing's outstanding performance in the last game made Cheeks put him in the starting lineup with confidence. Although the Cavaliers are stronger than the 76ers on paper, Cheeks played with all the main players and is bound to fight for this victory. .

For the Cavaliers, point guard Larry Hughes, shooting guard Alexander Pavlovich, small forward LeBron James, power forward Drew Gooden, and center Ilgauskas.

Big Z Ilgauskas relied on his height advantage of 2 meters to win the jump ball, and the Cavaliers mastered the first wave of offensive balls.

Since James joined the NBA, the Cavaliers have always been a team of James alone. He has monopolized power and determines the offensive and defensive options for each round. At the beginning of the game, James unceremoniously asked for the ball from the guard.

The 76ers boss Iguodala is the only option to defend James, but today James does not seem to want to attack personally.

As soon as he waved, Cavaliers power forward Drew Gooden obediently lifted it up and covered James.

"Pick and roll?" Channing was very surprised that James did not play singles, but chose to attack with a pick and roll.

It's a bit strange for Channing to play pick-and-rolls as strong as James, but for James, he doesn't want to go all out at the beginning.

The Cavaliers had one win and one loss in the first two games of this season. James averaged 32 points, 8 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. Unlike a cold-blooded killer like Kobe, James prefers to be called an all-around organization forward.

So under normal circumstances, James will give priority to trying to drive his teammates, and at critical moments, he will choose to pass the ball. (Well, there's nothing wrong with that.)
Through the study of the past few days, Channing also has a new understanding of how to defend the pick-and-roll. Gooden quickly rolled outside without completely blocking Iguodala. James did not choose to speed up after one step into the three-point line. , this is obviously not the feeling of trying to make a layup, it must be a false breakthrough and a true pass!
Channing raised decisively, and James also passed the ball back to Gooden at this moment.

"My judgment is indeed correct!"

Just as Drew Gooden got the ball and took off, Channing had already swooped in and made the first block of the game.

"Nice defensive prediction!"

"As expected of the player who scored in the starting lineup in the second game of his career, Channing showed a tough defense from the very beginning!"

After finishing the block, Channing rushed to the frontcourt immediately. Willie Green took the ball and made a fast break. Under the tight defense of Larry Hughes, he passed the ball from behind to Channing.

Glancing behind him from the corner of the eye, Drew Gooden was two meters away from him, and James, the chasing madman, hadn't passed halftime for some reason. Channing felt relieved and easily dunked.

"In less than 30 seconds, one block and one quick dunk, Channing's performance is really getting better and better!"

Tencent NBA commentator Ke Fan and Su Qun continue to partner.

Drew Gooden's face was full of embarrassment. He was also the No. 2002 pick in the first round in 4, but his technical ability has been finalized in the past few years in the NBA, and he is not as good as Channing, a fledgling rookie.Especially in terms of speed, he was at an absolute disadvantage, and Channing's sprinting and fast attacking Gooden couldn't keep up at all.

The lazy James rolled his eyes at Gooden. These teammates are always holding him back. James is used to being both a father and a mother. Just now, Channing's dunk is fast. If James returns to defense with all his strength If so, there is a good chance that he can block it, but when he is tired, he will occasionally be lazy on the defensive end. This is the privilege of the little emperor, and it is also one of the good habits he has developed since he was a knight.

Two points behind, James took it easy and scored a breakthrough. Pavlovich got a chance from outside the three-point line, but unfortunately missed the shot.

"What to eat?"

James glared at Pavlovic, who flinched.
