Chapter 224: Suppression of the Sons of Akron (1)
The Cleveland Cavaliers got their chosen son this season, and their record has skyrocketed, far from the bottom of the league, but the current record is a little itchy, ninth in the East, and the Boston people are only one win away, and after entering March, "March Zhan" has also begun to take shape. However, they are facing the New York Knicks, who are now full of confidence, and the current Knicks can be described as undescribed, and victory is a matter of course for them.
Ever since the young James entered Madison Square Garden to warm up, his eyes have been wandering on the four championship flags on the high ceiling and the tall No. 30 player below. If you put it in ancient times, James was the guy who shouted "He can take his place", what "the big husband should be like this", there is no such thing as a big man, for him there is no such thing, anyway, just do the right thing, until he gets down.
But there is still a huge gap between James, who is less than twenty years old, and the legend in the future, not to mention the technical level, even the body, he and the rest of the rookies also have the same weakness, that is, thin body. That's right, the humanoid tank car James, his rookie era, did not rely on his body to crush the opponent as people think, the physical talent that people referred to at that time refers to his running and jumping ability, not the pure physical talent we think, James is both technical and physical, in fact, it is the result of later exercise, especially after being deceived by a bald man on the twenty-one in 07.
But the current James is just a budding newcomer, what is the sprout, and the newcomer can only be bullied by the old hooligans in addition to selling cuteness.
Since Charles' departure, the Knicks' defense at the No. 1 position has not been able to reach the league's average level, but this season's new recruit Jason Williams at least has the league's average level of defense, plus Mo Xi and Latliff are on the inside, and George Karl's defensive style is dominated by pressing, and the Knicks' steel defense is faintly back to the iron-blooded Knicks of the year.
After James came on the court, he faced Sprewell's close pressing, using the pressing to create the opponent's mistakes, so as to launch a counterattack and fast attack, and regarded defense as part of the offense, forcing the rhythm of the game to fly, which is one of the reasons why George Karl has always liked to form a flying team.
James blocked Sprewell with his back and pulled out of the three-point line to receive the ball.
Sprewell took a half-step back and hit the three-point line, the young James's first step was very explosive, and Sprewell did not press too much.
James held the ball on his waist, pressed his center of gravity down, and then didn't do too much action, kicked his foot on the ground, and flew straight out, like a missile, and attacked the Knicks' basket straight.
However, Sprewell did not lose his position at all, although the first step did not fully follow, but it still stuck half of James's position.
Originally, James wanted to do it himself, but the Knicks' defense was extremely flexible, and seeing that he was about to be forced into the corner, James decisively divided the ball and gently hung it to the big Z on the inside.
Big Z against Mo Xi, the Cavaliers' interior twin towers Carlos Boozer and Ilgerzkas are both first-class insiders in the league, averaging 15+10 per game, and these two people are also the key points for the Cavaliers to come to the ninth place in the East, but when these two people faced the luxury interior team in New York, they found that it seemed that the opponents they had met before were fake.
It's true that Ratliff is thirty years old, but even the young Ratliffe's defense is dominated by anticipatory blocks, and age just makes his ability to the next level.
Boozer quickly turned around and tried to run over Ratliff from the outside, but Ratliff just made a very freehand sideways and pressed Boozer under the basket, and Boozer was forced to split the ball outside the three-point line.
The Cavaliers' current starting lineup has a difficult problem to solve, McGinnis is the only person who has outside shooting ability, and the projection ability of others is really hard to look at.
For McGinnis George Karl, Jason Williams kept an eye on him the whole time, just to prevent him from catching the ball. The battle between Jason Williams and Arenas did not come to an end, Mo Xi finally helped Arenas, Jason Williams and Arenas began to take turns to start, under the deployment of George Karl, both of them have an average of nearly 30 minutes per game, and the passionate playing style of the two is also deeply loved by George Karl, and Williams is different from Arenas in addition to the unpredictable passing, only his defensive enthusiasm is higher than Arenas.
McGinnis stumbled to catch the ball, but the man was already in a negative angle position, hesitated, and finally threw the ball to James.
After receiving the ball, James decisively distributed the ball to Boozer, who came to the horn position, and Boozer reluctantly forced a shot against Ratliffe.
No
Mo Xi won the rebound and distributed the ball directly to Jason Williams next to him, the white chocolate arm shook, and the whole person spun in place like a spinning top for half a circle, sending the ball directly out, like a quarterback, with a long pass to the far end.
Houston and Sprewell sped fast, but the young James was faster, and in the surprised eyes of the two, James came first, crashed into the two men, sandwiched between them, and cut off the connection between the two men.
Sprewell crossed to block James and pass the ball to Houston, who followed up with a dribble and then made a pullup jumper.
James broke free of Sprewell and stepped up to try to interfere with Houston, but the mid-range king lived up to his name, treating James as if he were nothing, and raised his hand to hit the first goal of the game.
The Cavaliers' offensive ability is three axes, James bursts, James bursts, big Z chisels, big Z chisels Boozer chisels, generally speaking, these three can still snatch the next wave of points, but when they meet the Nets, Knicks, Pistons and other defensive powerhouses, it is often the most struggling.

This time, James tried to break through the basket with the help of Big Z's cover, but the defender James took away was Mo Xi, and in the face of the strong oppressive force on Mo Xi's body, James could only grit his teeth and harden his head.
Mo Xi didn't give James much physical confrontation, and James managed to get to the basket. Just when he was full of ambition and wanted to make a tomahawk-style chop that he was proud of, a giant palm slapped down and pressed directly on the ball, knocking James to the ground by the way.
Mo Xi's move was very measured, James fell very painfully, but it would not be a big deal.
"Welcome to the NBA, imps!"
