Chapter 76: Bibby Strikes
Honk~
The game continued, and the managers of both sides did not make any substitutions, but continued to fight with the main lineup.
But Peja's defensive attitude changed dramatically, and it was clear what Kings head coach Adelman had said to him.
Once Peja is seriously defending, the ability is still good.
After all, the talent is there, the height has an advantage, the pace is not slow, coupled with the complementary defense of Miller and Divac, James's breakthrough has been greatly limited.
For the Cavaliers, Paul also asked James and McGinnis to increase their investment on the defensive end, keep up with their markers, reduce rotations, and prevent misalignments to avoid a situation where Peja singled McGinnis.
The effect is also very good, James is more talented, very fast, as long as he defends with all his strength, Peja's shots are becoming less and less.
The core of the team was restricted, and the Cavaliers began to play Ilgoskas to this point.
The big Z has an advantage in both the aging Divac and the 211-centimeter, slow-paced Miller.
It's a pity that Big Z's hand was not good tonight, he didn't score a few shots, and even shot into the basket once and bounced out.
On the contrary, the Kings, although Peja is the first scorer, but Peja's inability to shoot does not affect the offense at all.
Because the Kings are a team offensive team, everyone can shoot, they can pass the ball, and they don't rely on the offensive ability of one person.
Bibby, Divac, and Doug scored one after another, and they were unstoppable.
With three minutes left in the first quarter, the Kings suddenly opened the gap and led by 10 points at 28:18.
In an era where defense wins and most teams hover around 90 points per game, the Kings' offense is truly unusual.
He averaged nearly 103 points per game, well ahead of the other 28 teams.
If you can't stop them from attacking, you're losing.
The game was suspended, and the managers of both sides sent a rotation lineup.
Cavaliers: Meme, Darius, James, Davis, Ye Feng.
Kings: Miller, Sangeira, Gerard Wallace, Doug, Bibby.
The head coaches of both sides are targeting the defensive end.
On the King's side.
Doug is the Kings' best defensive guard and has been named to the NBA All-Defensive Team several times. With him, he can not only limit Davis, but also supplement James.
Gerard Wallace, the future Bobcats boss, doesn't have a high status with the Kings right now, but his exceptional talent gives him an edge on the defensive end, and his play is meant to limit James.
Sangueira, a well-mobile forward, came on to play to make up for James and Davis after the breakaway.
On the knightly side.
Darius has super running and jumping ability, can defend and pick and roll well, and to a certain extent, limit playmaking centers like Miller and Divac.
He came on to limit Miller's play.
Players from both sides take the field.
Huaxia fans looked at the TV and were suddenly stunned.
"This? I seem to see a small yellow man among the five players of the Cavaliers, it can't be that I read it wrong, right? ”
"That's right, it's yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes, that's not wrong at all, standard yellow people."
"Who is this, Korean? Japanese? It won't be a Chinese, if it was a Chinese, there should have been a report in China! ”
Fans are speculating with each other.
If it is the Internet era, everyone will definitely take out their mobile phones to quickly check the information of the Cavaliers No. 24.
However, in 2003, the Internet was not developed, and computers were only owned by a few families, and fans could only guess for themselves.
"This player's name is Ye Feng, born in China, and later raised by Mi Guo's uncle, is a Chinese player."
"Ye Feng, 20 years old, 188 cm, 80.5 kg, plays as an organizational guard, and can also play as a scoring guard......"
Director Zhang Weiping seemed to have guessed the fans' thoughts, and introduced Ye Feng's information like a few family treasures.
"Chinese players? This guy is from Huaxia! ”
Hearing the news, the fans got excited.
It is very good for fans to watch the NBA because of Yao Ming's relationship, although the NBA is good, but watching a group of foreigners play is not as good as watching their compatriots play after all.
A lot of people like Kobe, like Iverson, like Garnett, maybe it's true love, but maybe it's just because there are no Chinese players to support him.
After all, Yao Ming is just a center, and the center is generally not good-looking when playing.
"Hey, I was rooting for the King. But since the Cavaliers have Ye Feng, I will support the Cavaliers. ”
"It's rare for a Chinese guard to enter the NBA, and if I don't support him to support anyone, I will be a fan of the Cavaliers in the future."
"Support the Cleveland Cavaliers!"
……
Of course, not everyone is optimistic about Ye Feng.
"I heard that Ye Feng is just a draft loser, can he really mix in the NBA?"
"Even if Ye Feng is mixed to death, he is at most a role player, not powerful! I still support my Kobe Bryant and Iverson to go. ”
"Look at this guy's skinny, I guess those NBA big men can kill him, and the future is bleak!"
……
This is also something that cannot be avoided.
In his previous life, Yao Ming was known as the Great Wall of China, and the media in the United States recognized Yao Ming as the first center in the post-O'Neill era, but many Chinese people still resolutely became Yao Hei.
Ye Feng lost the draft, and it is normal for him to be hacked.
But at least the vast majority of Huaxia fans will support Ye Feng, the reason is very simple, we have the same blood!
For all this, Ye Feng didn't know, he just wanted to play the first regular season game of his career.
Honk~
The game continues.
The king attacked.
Miller holds the ball at the top of the arc of the three-point line.
Darius did not dare to slack off, and immediately guarded out.
In Divac's absence, Miller is the king's playmaking center. Although his passing skills are not as good as Divac, Miller has more range and some breakthrough ability, and his threat has surpassed that of the aging Divac.
Miller probed twice and found that Darius was pressing very tightly and simply handed the ball to Bibby, the second playmaker on the field.
Bibi held the ball, and Ye Feng immediately came up to defend, not daring to slack off at all.
After all, he's an offensive playmaker, the second-highest scoring player for the Kings, and he's very capable of scoring.
Bibby observed the situation on the court and did not choose to single Ye Feng, but called Miller to come out to block and dismantle.
Ye Feng kept an eye on the defense with all his might, and didn't notice Miller's quiet appearance, and suddenly crashed into Miller, making Bibby successfully get rid of the defense.
"Darius, change the guard!"
Ye Feng can only summon the help of his teammates.
Dalius was quick with his eyes, and without waiting for Ye Feng's reminder, he quickly pounced on Bibi.
However, at this moment, Bibby suddenly stepped back, and it was directly a jump shot.
Darius, who pounced, sighed and had no choice but to watch the basketball shoot steadily into the basket.
Swish!
The goal was scored, and the score was 30:18.
After the goal, Mike Bibi glanced at Ye Feng meaningfully, didn't say anything, and turned back to defense.
This is Bibby's style of play, no trash talk, everything is talked with basketball!
