0427: [History repeats itself]
Li Zhen has always been a 'hateful' object in James's heart, but there will always be various accidents that make him unable to kill him.
It's annoying.
Stephen Marbury slowly took the ball to the front court and used his steady body to squeeze Damon Jones' defense away and pass it to Zach Randolph in the middle of the box. Randolph attacked Ilgoskas head-on, mobilized the defense with nimble footwork, and then hit the ball from behind and handed it to David Lee, who made a jumper...... Swish!
The goal made the corners of James' mouth twitch.
Randolph actually passed the ball? Is there any mistake?
Why was he a lone husband when he was in Portland, but he became a master organizer in New York.
Why did all the good things make Li Zhen catch up?
James was depressed.
He attributed all this to Li Zhen's luck, and he didn't think that Li Zhen had changed his teammates. I also know how to win hearts and get along with my teammates, and I don't see anyone changing personalities in Cleveland, but the team stuffs high-paid and incompetent guys into the team one by one, causing a salary imbalance, and throwing the pot on my head.
The more James thought about it, the more angry he became, he took over the basketball in the front court and rushed to the restricted area, but under the basket he was forcibly hugged from the air by Randolph's dead fat man, this guy was covered in sweat and grinned like a sperm whale.
"I have four more fouls."
Randolph warned James fiercely: "Although I am not as proficient in defending this kind of thing as Eddie Griffin, I have done a good job of fouling, you don't want to take it from me, I know you don't like Bruce, but he is my brother, I can't show off in front of him." ”
James never talks to these scum players, he wants to be the first man to be the face of the NBA, and he doesn't want to be a bad guy. He walked to the free-throw line with a blank face, knowing that there would be a lot of media to describe his calm, arrogant and powerful behavior.
However, when he stepped to the free throw line, there was still a hint of a hole in his expression management, and there was clearly a fierce emotion in his management.
Because Zach muttered behind him, "You're never going to be as good as Bruce, he can make all the players around him better and have his own personality." ”
Zack's words made James's mentality collapse a little.
The man who was instilled as the chosen one since he was a child has never lost a single comparison since entering the league. Even Kobe Bryant, who is No. 1 today, has repeatedly broken his records as the youngest player by LeBron. Everyone admits that the 22-year-old Bryant is not as strong as LeBron.
But now, someone even said that he would never be able to catch up with a nobody?
Damn it!
Bang!
Gritting his teeth, James missed the first goal.
He quickly took a deep breath to suppress his ups and downs.
Swish!
Finally, the second goal was securely hit.
Yibian fought again, and the Knicks still played steadily.
Basketball was at ease in Stephen Marbury's hands, and Cavaliers' point guard Damon Jones couldn't make any substantial impact on Marbury.
Marbury made a reasonable allocation of the basketball to the breakaway Crawford, who scored a backhand layup on a backhand under the heavy cover of Zach Randolph, leapfrogging Larry Hughes' defense.
This offense successfully showed the tactical cultivation of the current Knicks' second team, which is not slow and faintly has the demeanor of a strong team.
Donnie Walsh was shocked in the VIP box, and he was quite shocked: "Thomas was able to integrate this group of players into a set of half-court positional tactics, and also performed their own duties to complete the offense seamlessly??? ”
He knew all too well what the personalities of Marbury, Crawford, and Zach Randolph were. In the minds of the 30 NBA general managers, they all belong to the kind of selfish ball-handling attackers.
Now, however, this is the case.
"You underestimate Isaiah so much, I told you a long time ago. Isaiah Thomas is the only person in NBA history who can do the best of all three jobs: player, head coach, and general manager. James Dolan complimented.
Donnie Walsh gasped.
If James Dolan wasn't the boss who paid him, he would even want to shake his palms in front of his eyes and ask him: When did you become blind?
It's not a shame to say that Isaiah Thomas did his job as a player, after all, he led the Bad Boys Army to two championships, and he was the only man who suppressed the god of basketball in the last decade. But as a manager, he's the ultimate? It doesn't seem to be a good record for the Pacers to lead the team, and it was even worse before trading to Bruce last season. And most importantly... How is he the ultimate general manager? Have you forgotten that you are still paying for the junk contract he signed? We're still paying the league's highest luxury tax this season.
It's really lard.
Donnie shook his head helplessly.
He couldn't understand James Dolan's feelings for Isaiah Thomas.
But now, he had nothing to say. Because the Knicks on the court actually bit the Cavaliers tightly with the second team, even if James is still in full swing, the score is soaring towards 40 points.
"If it goes on like this, the Cavaliers are a bit of a disadvantage." Earl Johnson sighed in the live broadcast room: "LeBron's teammates are so bad, he can only support himself." ”
"However, the Cavaliers are the second-most luxury tax payer this season." Kenny Smith corrected.
Earl Johnson hastened to add: "Probably because Cleveland in the middle of nowhere can only attract players by offering premium contracts, after all, there are a few teams as attractive as New York." ”
"But the Knicks' garbage contract is the best in the league." Kenny Smith corrected again.
Earl Johnson couldn't go on.
"Larry Hughes used to be the same duo as Arenas in Washington, but now he can only do some work on the defensive end, and the whole world knows that he is better at helping to defend than at marking, and now he is doing man-to-man work." Kenny continued: "There are too many players on the Cavaliers team who don't show up in the jobs they are good at. ”
Ahem!
Barkley coughs twice, suggesting that Kenny has gone a little too far.
That's when it happened.
Syllable!
Larry Hughes showed off the court that he used to be the king of steals, he cut off Crawford's pass and quickly handed the basketball to LeBron James. James rushed to the front court and jumped from beyond the three-point line...... Swish!
Three-point hit.
This defensive counterattack finally broke the pattern of the scores of the two teams.
The Cavaliers took a four-point lead at 93-89.
Backbite!
Isaiah Thomas gracefully made a timeout gesture on the sidelines. With six minutes left on the game time, the Knicks are finally going to make a second team.
At this time, the main force of the Cavaliers was already out of breath.
The huge Ilgoskas is definitely going to rest, and Larry Hughes is also a little out of fitness.
It was the first game of the regular season after all, and too many players didn't recover from the offseason.
But McBrown decided to replace only Ilgoskas and Damon Jones, with Gooden and Gibson on top. And emphasized: "The Knicks will definitely execute the run-and-gun next, and we have to run faster than them." LeBron was so hot tonight that we had no reason to lose to them in the competition. Again, we have to return to Cleveland with our heads held high with victory!! ”
Mike Brown fought desperately.
This game was given too much meaning by him.
However, the thing that disappointed him was.
The Knicks didn't switch to a run-and-gun lineup.
Instead, let Zach stay on the court, Randolph has no physical problems now, although he hasn't trained much this summer, but... I didn't mess around. For a man like him, as long as he doesn't mess around, he's already won most of the time.
Partnering Zach is Eddie Griffin.
It's still Jeffries, and the shooting guard is Crawford.
This is a standard half-court positional setup.
So, when this lineup came on, McBrown was visibly stunned.
Why don't you play according to the routine?
Moreover, this lineup does not have a stable three-point shooting ability at all, so what does it rely on to open up space?
Charles Barkley also questioned in the live broadcast room.
After all, LeBron has scored 40 points tonight and is very likely to break the 50 mark. With his touch, without scoring in two rounds, the Knicks will be doomed tonight.
However, Li Zhen still did not slow down after advancing with the ball.
He steadily consumed his time, and he didn't bully Larry Hughes who had switched over to defend him.
Instead, Eddie Griffin stepped forward to make a block for himself, and after a quick break in, he stabilized the rhythm and attracted Vallejo to press forward while stuffing the basketball to Randolph in the penalty area, Randolph faced Gooden, immediately turned his back to single, and then hooked his hand... Bang! If you don't go in, continue to jump and make up the basket... Again... Make up for it!
At this time, Li Zhen had already rushed into the forbidden area. Randolph was smartly stuck with Gooden, and Li Zhen easily made up for the basketball that popped out of the frame...... Swish!
The two easily played with the knight's penalty area.
Neither Drugouden nor Vallejo have a size advantage, and they don't have a good rebounding ability.
At this time, the Knicks didn't plan to be polite to them.
This is also the reason why in the next round, after Crawford missed a jumper from the three-point line, Li Zhen went deep into the restricted area again and easily made up for the basketball under the protection of Eddie Griffin and Zach Randolph.
The tacit action of the three made Charles Barkley even mutter: "Are they helping Bruce brush up on rebounds?" ”
"How can you get a point guard to brush up on offensive rebounds?" Kenny blocked him with one sentence: "That's bullying Cleveland's rebounding protection can't work." ”
Forehead... That's true.
No one knows why Randolph and Eddie Griffin are so incompatible with Harvard top student Bruce Lee, stealing frontcourt rebounds as if they were a gang that has successfully committed dozens of thefts together, and poor Cleveland is being taken to the bottom by them.
If it weren't for LeBron James' continued heat tonight, the Cavaliers would have lost long ago.
As the clock wore on, LeBron James hit a 3-pointer with 46 seconds left to break the game, and his score finally reached 51 points, along with eight rebounds and eight assists.
This is a staggering statistic.
When it was played on the big screen, there was even an uproar at the scene.
However, no Knicks fans are jealous because of this.
Because Bruce Lee broke through a triple-double 1 minute ago, he has 25 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
And, even though LeBron James hit a 3-pointer at the moment, the Knicks still led by one point at 108:107.
Isaiah Thomas, meanwhile, asked for a timeout.
He's going to make the final deployment.
At this point, he finally offered his own opinion, and he hoped that the team would solve the final problem with a run-and-gun because the Cavaliers had already switched to Ilgoskas two minutes earlier, and the Lithuanian mountain had interrupted the rebounding career of the Knicks trio for a while.
Can... At this time, Randolph gritted his teeth, and he said with rare blood: "We have no reason to fear them. Why can't they be routed head-on? ”
In a sense, this is a wayward move.
Even Jamie Lin didn't support him.
After all, Zach had already eaten Ilgoskas's block just now, and it didn't seem necessary to be brave at this time.
Thomas and Jemilin exchanged glances, and Thomas reached out and patted Randolph on the shoulder.
Li Zhen watched as the light in Randolph's eyes gradually dimmed.
Just before Isaiah Thomas said this, Li Zhen said: "I support Zach, and Eddie, let's go together, of course we can defeat them head-on." ”
Randolph's dim eyes instantly became firm.
He looked at Li Zhen with burning eyes, Li Zhen just shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "If we lose, the three of us will carry bags for all the players in the team." ”
The atmosphere instantly became relaxed.
This is a very clever stress relief technique.
But what is certain is that Randolph has more respect for Li Zhen.
Well, humans, always. When you are abandoned, someone is willing to stand by you without reservation. Then it's hard for you not to have a well-heaved episode.
Although Jamilin was surprised that Li Zhen had such an irrational behavior, he finally chose to approve. Isaiah Thomas didn't say anything, his unreserved trust in Li Zhen was like James Dolan's unconditional admiration for him.
Li Zhen, Randolph and Griffin are back on the court, along with Stephen Marbury and Quentin Richardson.
"If you get drunk in the future, I'll carry you home too, even if you stink."
When he was on the court, Zach Randolph suddenly said something to Li Zhen for no reason.
Drink? Drunk?
Why am I drunk.
And how can the stinky be used on me, the handsome guy will never stink.
When Li Zhen walked on the court, LeBron James took the initiative to come over and put down the cruel words: "Next, I will personally watch you, you can't escape like last time." ”
Last time?
Oh.
Li Zhen remembered. Last time, Lee Jin used Jordan moments in the last 1 minute, and he hit a stunner over James's head.
LeBron swears by this point.
He thinks he's in control.
As everyone knows, Li Zhen got another 1 point of energy 3 minutes ago. After he broke through Larry Hughes, Daniel Gibson stepped on his way, though not stepping on it. But the positive energy still captures the malicious emotion, and easily grabs him with 1 point of innate energy.
Hehe.
History is repeating itself.
This time, though, the result will be the same, but the process will change.
Li Zhen looked proud!
