"Hello, Wang Xiao, it's a pleasure to fight you."

Looking at the well-mannered David in front of him. Blatter, Wang Xiao had a slight smile on his face.

"I'm looking forward to each other."

The Cavaliers swapped shotguns in the summer and got the Super Four, and immediately afterwards even the driver was replaced.

Last season, the head coach of the Cavaliers was Byron. Scott, he coached with the Cavaliers for three years, and the Cavaliers successfully won two first-round picks, which shows his coaching ability.

In the new season, the Cavaliers have a big four, and naturally they will not let Scott, whose coaching ability is questioned, continue to coach the team.

So they poached the legendary coach David from Europe. Blatter.

If Wang Xiao is the most legendary coach in the NBA in recent years, then David. Blatter is the most legendary head coach in the European Basketball League.

In terms of coaching ability, he is definitely one of the best coaches in the world, with excellent tactical awareness and on-the-spot adaptability.

However, it is a pity that Wang Xiao knows the experience of the legendary European coach after joining the Cavaliers.

As a team basketball coach, Blatter excels at coaching the kind of players who are obedient and play rotational basketball.

The Cavaliers are clearly not such a team.

No matter how luxurious the roster is, this team will only serve one player, and that is LeBron. James.

This will lead directly to the tragic experience of this excellent coach in the NBA.

Of course, that's a story for later, and for now, neither Blatter nor the Cavaliers' generals are aware of this problem.

At this time, they were both in the early honeymoon phase of their cooperation.

……

The starters from both sides came on, with Howard and Gobert jumping in the center circle.

It can be seen that Goebel is slightly nervous.

It's normal for the 21-year-old to have only played in Europe before, and the NBA has always been a mystery to him, and the name of Howard, the league's No. 1 center, makes him both excited and nervous.

"Hey, rookie, take it easy, don't be nervous."

Howard looked at Gobert and couldn't help but smile and said: "Welcome to the NBA, I'm sorry that you will be beaten by me in this game, but don't be discouraged, because this is the process that every rookie must go through when he comes to the NBA, and you will grow up soon." ”

"Oh...... Thank you. Gobert nodded, ignoring Howard's earlier remark that you were going to be beaten by me in this game.

If Wang Xiao heard this, he would inevitably pout his lips disdainfully.

Howard's offensive ability has never been very good, and he used to rely on terrifying explosiveness and bounce to force scores.

But now that he has experienced a few injuries, he no longer has the explosive power that he had at the peak of his youth, and his offensive skills are not much better than Jordan Jr.

Why did he blow up Gobert? Even if it's just Gobert's first game since joining the NBA.

……

As the referee threw the basketball into the air, the two jumped almost at the same time.

To Howard's surprise, Gobert actually reached the ball one step ahead of him and flipped the basketball behind him.

"This guy ...... I seem to have some ability! ”

Howard, who was slightly surprised, didn't realize that it wasn't Gobert's excellent bounce, but that the explosiveness he used to rely on for survival had begun to wane.

Howard is registered to be 2.11 meters tall, but in reality his real height is less than 2.10 meters.

Gobert's height is a real 2.16 meters.

The difference in height coupled with the attenuation of explosiveness, it is natural to lose to Gobert in terms of jumping balls.

……

Curry possessed the ball for half of the court and then raised his hand to signal that he was going to execute the attack himself.

In the face of Irving's defense, Curry slowly dribbled on the outside to look for opportunities, and then found the gap when Gobert ran out to block for him and made a quick three-point shot.

The basketball crossed an arc in the air and landed into the net, causing a cheer in the court.

In the opening three-point shot, Curry still continued his usual accurate three-point touch!

……

The offense and defense switched, and the Cavaliers naturally handed the ball to James.

Against Leonard, James did not rush to attack himself, but passed the ball to JR. Smith in the bottom corner, and then JR. Smith hoisted the ball to Howard, who was stuck on the inside to ask for the ball.

At the beginning of the game, Howard appeared very positive.

He had a not-so-happy season with the Lakers last season, and in the summer, he left the Lakers almost as a deserter, which made him almost infamous in Los Angeles and vilified by many.

Joining the Cavaliers, he is also well thought out, and he is eager to prove himself in the new season.

……

After receiving the ball, he dribbled twice with his back and squeezed to the basket with no surprise.

Howard weighs 120 kilograms and Gobert weighs 111 kilograms, and the difference between the two is nearly 10 kilograms, which makes it easy for Howard to squeeze under the basket even if his lower body strength is not strong.

But when we got to the basket, the problem came.

Neither the distance nor the angle was suitable for a direct pull-up slam dunk, and after thinking for a moment, Howard decided to come up with a turnaround hook as the finishing method of the offense.

His movements were not smooth, and even a little stiff, but he still made a turnaround and hook motion, throwing the basketball lightly into the air.

However, at this moment, a pair of big hands arrived first, directly blocking Howard.

Howard only felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and the movements on his hands were suddenly deformed.

"Box!"

The basketball slammed into the hoop, then bounced off and was safely picked up by Gobert, who jumped up on his heels.

Looking at Howard, who was a little dumbfounded, Wang Xiao couldn't help but laugh on the sidelines.

Gobert is indeed a first-year rookie, but unlike other players who have only played in the NCAA in the United States, Gobert, who has played in the professional league in Europe, is already well-rounded, and all he needs is to adapt to the pace of the NBA game and further strengthen his physical fitness to cope with the fierce physical confrontation.

Howard, who was not convinced, then tried a few more attempts to single Gobert, but the effect was poor, hitting only one of the four offenses, and he still missed the first shot and grabbed the offensive rebound.

Now Gobert, if against a man like Al. Jefferson's technical flow insider, I'm afraid he will suffer a big loss, but against a rough brother like Howard, he is handy.

Howard's offense was strong, while the Wizards' offense was as sharp as ever, which opened up the margin from the start.

Seeing that the situation was not good, James decisively changed his mind and began to hand over the ball to Owen and Love, but the result was unsatisfactory.
