On the evening of October 29, Cleveland Quickfinance Arena.

On either side of the basketball court, the two teams each warmed up before the game.

The home team, the Cavaliers, wore the white jersey, and the away team, the Kings, wore the blue jersey.

At nearly 8 o'clock, the players of both sides returned to the players' tunnel, and the lights in the stadium were instantly extinguished.

The noisy arena fell silent, waiting for the season to start in earnest.

Far East, China.

Fans got up early, waited in front of the TV, and watched CCTV 5 sets.

Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhengping have been sitting in the studio for a long time, talking about the situation of the NBA in the new season.

Today, there will be 11 NBA games starting at the same time, but CCTV has chosen the Kings vs. Cavaliers game.

"That's right, there is no Rocket game today, and it's not bad to choose the king."

"After all, the Kings are the team with the most gorgeous play, the best offense, and the highest scoring style in the NBA right now."

"But isn't this Cavaliers the bottom of the East last season? The difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and this game doesn't seem to be interesting! ”

......

At 7:55, the entrance ceremony officially began.

"As we all know, the preseason is just a warm-up for a season, and the regular season is the real beginning, so let's cheer for the official start of the season!"

In the live broadcast room, Kenny Smith, the gold medal commentator from TNT, shouted excitedly.

"First of all, the away team, the Kings!"

Smith's partner, Barkley said.

On the pitch, a small circle of light lights up.

Kings shooting guard Doug Christie was the first to play.

The Cleveland fans gave the must-have gifts, and the audience booed.

Then there's the power forward who can play the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, Brad Miller, an interior player with passing skills even better than guards.

The third player to play is the legendary center Verratti Divac, who can contribute 16 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.2 blocks at the peak.

Although Divac is getting older, his passing skills are getting more and more demonic.

The fourth player is a small forward, 206 cm Peja Stojakovic, who has a career three-point shooting rate of 40.1%, and in terms of his ability to run and shoot three-pointers without the ball, he is even stronger than Ray Allen, Michael Reed, and Reggie Miller.

The fifth playmaker is playmaking, "White Devil", "White Ghost", "Prince" Mike Bibby, the best playmaking guard in the West.

Kings boss Chris Webber is out due to injury, and Bibby is the team leader.

Before Nash went to the Suns, Bibby was the best playmaker in the West, and he was on the same page as Kidd and Marbury in the East.

"Then, it's the home team's Cavaliers' appearance."

McGinnis was the first to play, and the home fans immediately went into cheering mode.

The second is Boozer.

The third is Ricky Davis.

The fourth is Ilgoskas, seeing this, everyone was surprised, Big Z actually appeared in the fourth, so the fifth ......

That's right, the finale was the champion James.

In the quiet waiting of the whole court, James walked out of the player tunnel, and the whole court immediately boiled.

But that wasn't the end of it, James walked to the midfield technical table with a blank face and wiped his hands with magnesium powder. Then he suddenly picked up a handful and threw his hands towards the sky.

Wow!

The fans in the stadium exploded directly, and the cheers almost toppled the ceiling of the stadium.

“King！ King！ King！ ......”

As the fans invariably shouted James's name, James slowly lowered his arms and walked to the midfield.

"This entry action is really too domineering!"

Smith couldn't help but say.

"It's really domineering, but playing is not a show, and in the end it depends on strength."

Barkley was a little sour, and it was obvious that he was jealous of James, why didn't he think of this entry when he was playing.

Soon, the players from both sides were in position.

The referee habitually told the players who jumped the ball on both sides, Miller and Ilgorskas, "Please follow the rules of the court and do not make unsportsmanlike ......"

Honk~

As the whistle blew, the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2003-2004 regular season began.

Ilgoskas beat Miller to steal the ball for the Cavaliers in the first round.

McGinnis advanced with the ball and went straight to James in the frontcourt.

As James' status improves, all players will consciously give the ball to James first. You can also perceive that Ricky Davis's tactics are becoming less and less, and the coach is consciously increasing Davis's projection training instead of breakthrough training.

Peja defends James and has a height advantage of 5 centimeters, you must know that this guy is 208 centimeters tall if he wears shoes, which is taller than many big forwards.

But the Kings, as the strongest offensive team in the league, is also the bottom in defense, which is not unrelated to Peja's defensive attitude.

Peja is tall enough and not slow on her feet. But James just leaned lightly and turned his back to pass Peja.

Peja watched James go into the paint, and didn't even mean to chase after him.

Kings center Divac stepped forward to make up for the defense, and James flicked it into Big Z.

Big Z shot in the vacancy, but it didn't feel hot, the basketball smashed out of the basket, and the ball didn't go in.

Offensive and defensive transitions.

Bibby dribbled across half court and handed it to Divac at the free-throw line.

This is the playmaking center tactic in Princeton, where a center with wide shooting and passing ability stands outside the free throw line or even the three-point line to organize the offense.

This made Big Z very uncomfortable, coming out to defend, and the interior line was empty. Don't come out? Divac shoots straight on his own, and his height of 216 centimeters is not something that an outside player can defend.

Let Boozer come out to defend Divac?

I'm sorry, but Brad Miller, the king's other interior lineman, has a larger shooting range than Divac, Miller can shoot three-pointers, and is very accurate, and Boozer is even more afraid to let Miller vacant.

In an instant, both of the Cavaliers' interior lines were pulled out.

Doug landed in the bottom corner, and Bibby and Peja began to run endlessly, cross-running, counter-running, and covering runs......

Soon, with a cross-run, the Cavaliers were forced to switch defenses.

James has his eye on Bibe, and McGinnis guards Peja.

At this moment, the basketball in Divac's hand was in Peja's hands, and Peja took the ball and threw it.

McGinnis jumped up to block it, but the 17-centimeter height difference made it difficult for him to even cover his eyes.

Swish!

A big mid-range shot was hit and Peja opened the scoring for the Kings.

2：0。

Paul sat on the bench, a little helpless.

He's well aware of the Kings' routine, five guys who can pass the ball, who can shoot the ball, and create opportunities by constantly sharing the ball.

But as you know, no one in the entire league can stop the Kings' offense, and the Cavaliers, who have a weak defense, can't do it.

"James, success rate guaranteed. If you are sure, fight yourself! ”

In desperation, Paul had no choice but to fight against the king.

The Cavaliers attacked, and James lived up to Paul's expectations, pressing the basketball into the hoop in this round.

Next, it became Peja and James' solo show.

Two people, one relies on height and shooting, and the other relies on breakthrough ability, constantly dealing damage to the enemy.

After 6 minutes, the score was 16:13, and the Kings led by 3 points.

Peja had 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist alone, and James also scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, almost equally.

But Kings head coach Adelman called a timeout, and he was very unhappy with Peja's defensive performance.

Of course, Paul also has to find a way to limit Peja's shots, otherwise Peja can shoot the Cavaliers to death alone.
