Chapter 285: If you have the ability, you can build it again!
James hopes to win back something in the showdown with Sun Zhuo from this season, in the past two seasons, although James has been an excellent rookie in recent years, he is so young, the youngest to score 50 points in a single game, the youngest to score 1000 points and 2000 points, Sun Zhuo has won the All-Star MVP, James also got it, but they have not won against each other, which makes James feel that he should not be.
If you have Kobe Bryant or O'Neal next to you, and the team is more than a dozen points behind, you will still feel that there is hope of a tie, but if it is only Sun Zhuo, once the Cavaliers go all out to limit Sun Zhuo, no one will stand up for the Magic.
That's what James thought, maintaining the score advantage until the end, when the time comes, it is impossible for the Magic team to turn the game around alone.
The game continued, and the Cavaliers were still full of energy, fierce momentum, complete control of the game, and showed combat effectiveness, not at all like a team on the fringes of the playoffs, but more like a top team at the level of the Spurs and Heat.
Sun Zhuo also exclaimed slightly: "It seems that James really wants to win me once, everyone in the Cavaliers seems to be infected by him, and I don't have to win you every time, but today is the first time I play against you as the boss of the team, I won't lose, if you want to win me, let's talk about it next time!" ”
After Sun Zhuo came to the East, the number of times he played against the Cavaliers increased, and Sun Zhuo did not say that he was unwilling to lose to James once, but James has always shown an attitude, Sun Zhuo does not like it very much, so that Sun Zhuo will definitely lose without Kobe O'Neal.
When the Cavaliers were ready to continue to widen the difference, Sun Zhuo began to exert his strength, constantly hitting the basket with speed, or a pull-up jump shot, or a throw, or a European step foul, and the difference shrank from 12 points to 6 points.
James was a little unhappy when he saw the point difference narrowing, and secretly thought: "Taking over the game so early, I don't believe that your physical strength can last until the fourth quarter, besides, you can't be on the court all the time, once you get off the court and rest, we will win you in terms of the competition of substitute players." ”
The Cavaliers' bench lineup has Damon Jones, Luke Jackson, James still has some confidence, at least James gets along with them day and night, knows their ability, and for the Magic's group of bench ......
James glanced at the Magic's bench and swept Danny Granger, Monta Ellis, Ariza and the others with the contempt of the king, and thought to himself, "What are these things, it's weird to look at." ”
Soon, Sun Zhuo and James and other main lineups were rested, and it was the turn of the substitutes to compete, and at this time, the Cavaliers still led by 6 points.
"Hopefully when I play, the margin will be in double digits again." James thought so, and then encouraged the substitutes Luke Jackson and Marshall and others: "Rush up on the field, don't be afraid of mistakes, you must play fiercely, and let them collapse." ”
"Hit hard, didn't you? Okay, I got it. "The benches also know that James wants to win this game, and they will do their best to help him.
At this time, Danny Granger, Ariza and Monta Ellis have also been substituted, Sun Zhuo sat off the court with peace of mind, the strength of the Magic team's bench, in another two or three years, may be the strongest in the league, even now, to beat the Cavaliers, it is more than enough.
With two minutes left in the first quarter, the Cavaliers still did not stop their offensive firepower, especially Damon Jones, who came up and scored 4 points in a row, yelling with excitement and passion after the goal.
"Granger, Ariza, Ellis, no one in the Alliance has yet to realize how powerful you are, hurry up and show your talent and surprise everyone!" After Sun Zhuo entered the Magic team, in addition to his most important partner Howard, the most concerned about these three people, how much talent these three people can release this season determines how far the Magic team can go in the end, and Sun Zhuo is already planning to discuss with Coach Hill to let the three of them occasionally play with him as a starter, so that they have more opportunities to exercise and improve on the court.
"Well done, Damon!" James applauded his teammates from the sidelines.
Damon Jones is a bit of a crazy feeling, Jones is very confident, he prides himself on being the best scorer in the world, he likes to attack, and now he has the permission of the team boss, Jones acts like a team leader.
Soon, Jones made another steal, 1.91 meters, he quickly rushed to the court, ready to make a violent dunk, and on the other side of his body, there was Danny Granger following him, Jones squinted at Granger, maybe he had never seen this person, and he didn't take it seriously, and he still stubbornly executed the dunk.
Bang!
Danny Granger flew up from behind Jones and gave Jones a big hat!
"Damon is a little too big, that guy is a lot taller than him after all." James didn't care, the height gap was so big, it was normal for Granger to be able to beat Jones.
However, Granger's performance at the beginning of the second quarter shocked James.
Damon Jones singled Monta Ellis on the right side, turned his back and passed Ellis for a layup, only to be given another help guard by Danny Granger.
The most unexpected thing is that the Cavaliers center Big Z is playing under the basket, and the moment he shoots, he is also capped by Danny Granger on one side!
"He has such a good sense of helping to defend! What's this guy's name? James only realized at this time that the Magic's No. 33 was not simple.
After giving Big Z a big hat to watch, Granger made a long pass directly to Monta Ellis, who was already half-time, Ellis was only 1.91 meters tall, very fast, and scored a direct fast dunk.
Soon, the Magic relied on the bench to narrow the gap to four points.
James had to come on the court at this time to maintain the situation, and similarly, Sun Zhuo was also going to play, and before the game, Sun Zhuo said to Coach Hill: "Granger did well today, let him play on the court for a while." ”
Sun Zhuo did not replace Granger, but let Granger stay on the court to play the No. 4 position.
After getting on the court, Sun Zhuo patted Granger with his hand to show encouragement, and praised: "Good job, keep it up, LeBron James will be left to you to defend, in the next few years, if we meet the Cavaliers in the playoffs, he will be your opponent." ”
"No problem!" The 22-year-old Granger is unsmiling and serious, but in fact, he looks like the boss of the team.
James came up and wanted to score to help the team, but Granger's defense made James very uncomfortable, causing James to attack the ball himself and was forced to pass it.
"Your name is Danny Granger, isn't you? It's this year's rookie, right? James spoke to Granger.
However, Granger was very cool, and in the face of Emperor Zhan's inquiry, he didn't even pay attention to it.
"This guy is pretty cool." James chuckled, not paying attention, but admiring him more and more.
It didn't take long for James to find an opportunity and beat Granger a, in terms of strength, James was still better than Granger, Granger was beaten by James 2+1, after the goal, James smiled proudly: "Boy, your strength is not enough to prevent me now." ”
This time Granger replied, and Granger coolly replied, "I'm older than you." ”
James paused for a moment, feeling a little faceless.
Seeing that the newcomer of his team and the boss on the opposite side were confronted, Sun Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward, stood between the two, and said to James like a peacemaker: "Don't be like a newcomer, LeBron, although he is older than you, he doesn't look as old as you." ”
There was a black line on James's face, you bastard is not here to de-escalate the situation!
Next, James is also more serious, the two sides go back and forth, and every ball must be fought.
A Magic team attack, Sun Zhuo just wanted to use speed to break through the defense, but the defender reached out to foul because he couldn't keep up with the moment, at this time, the Magic team should re-serve and re-attack, but because Sun Zhuo's speed has risen and successfully broke through the defender, due to inertia, after Sun Zhuo stopped, he habitually threw one under the basket.
This is one thing that many players do, and Maddie once made a one-handed dunk with a 360-degree turn after being fouled and the game was suspended.
Most players will throw the ball in their hands instead of handing it directly to the referee, because many times, these players do not feel very good, and it is not easy to have a chance to shoot on the court, so every opportunity to shoot wants to grasp it, and it is a practice.
And the NBA also has an unwritten rule, the defense side generally does not give you the opportunity to practice shooting to increase your feel and confidence, as long as you are under the basket, you will definitely be blocked by the interference of the ball you throw, and you will not be allowed to see the result of the shot.
Therefore, the ball thrown by Sun Zhuo at random, James also fanned it directly under the basket, and directly fanned the ball back to Sun Zhuo.
"This guy...... I don't let you practice a ball. Sun Zhuo snorted, and his shot was fanned back by James like this, although this ball doesn't count, but it is still very shameless.
At this time, Sun Zhuo remembered a scene in his memory from his previous life.
When Iverson was playing the Magic team during the 76ers, this also happened, his shot fanned Howard back, and Iverson threw another ultra-high arc shot, but Howard couldn't cover it, but the ball went in.
Sun Zhuo immediately followed suit, threw the basketball high into the sky, and then turned around and ignored it, he had never practiced such a high-arc shooting, and he was not sure if he could score.
"Hmph." Seeing this, James thought that Sun Zhuo was just playing tricks and throwing one casually, but he didn't expect it......
Swish!
The basketball landed in the net with precision!
"Hell!" James was completely stunned.
Sun Zhuo heard the cheers at the scene, knew that he had scored the goal, and thought that he was lucky, but his face showed an arrogant posture of "If you have the ability, you will cover me again".
The fans at the scene also cheered, and if there are Chinese who crossed over in 2017, it is estimated that they will play 666 for this wave of operations.
"His luck is always so good, God is so unfair." James was helpless.
Although the ball was scored, James still prevented Sun Zhuo from taking a shot, feng shui took turns, you don't let me practice shooting, and I won't let you practice.
Not long after, James hit Granger under the basket, but Granger was whistled for a foul, James wanted to play 2+1, but the arc of the ball was a little low and failed to make it.
At this time, Granger had already taken the initiative to stretch out his arm to the referee, and his eyes didn't look at James, James got the missed ball, and still felt that it was a pity that he didn't play 2+1 this time, so before going to the free throw line, he threw another one under the basket and wanted to throw the ball in, which is what many offensive players will do.
However, as soon as James threw the ball, Sun Zhuo flew over.
I saw Sun Zhuo jump high and grab the ball in his hand with one hand!
"Grab the hat!" James was taken aback, it was no game time now, and he never expected that the ball would also be blocked, and it was in the form of a cap.
Sun Zhuo's domineering grasp of the hat directly grabbed the ball thrown by James in his hand, and he was even more domineering after landing.
James was very upset, he remembered Sun Zhuo's hat to finish his good brother Chris Paul a few days ago.
"Haha, these two people are also very serious, when the game was suspended, LeBron didn't let Sun practice shooting, and Sun didn't let LeBron shoot, Sun was more desperate than LeBron, and directly held the ball in his hand in the form of a cap, not giving LeBron a chance to shoot again."
Sun Zhuo is also afraid that LeBron will follow his example, and also shoot a high-arc ball, and LeBron James will have a trick to throw the ball into the basket with one hand as if he was dancing.
James and Sun Zhuo looked at each other, James had fierce eyes, do you want to target each other? Very good, accompanied!
This situation has been going on and on.
In the last few seconds of the second quarter, the Magic team attacked, and Sun Zhuo rushed to the Cavaliers basket at the last moment, missed a dozen and three layups, and ended the half.
"It's still the Cavaliers who are ahead, and hopefully the Magic can catch up in the second half, it's time to get up and go to the bathroom." When the audience saw the end of the half, they all got up habitually and did what they should do.
On the court, the members of the Magic team and the Cavaliers also turned around and returned to the players' box, preparing to leave the arena, but for Sun Zhuo and James, the game was not over yet.
Sun Zhuo missed the layup, the ball bounced back, after Sun Zhuo got the ball, he was also unwilling, and tried again, but as a result, he was directly capped off by James!
"Just waiting for you to shoot!" James was still in combat condition, and the sound of the buzzer seemed to have never appeared in his ears at all.
"Damn, half time is over, I can't shoot yet!" Sun Zhuo was also angry, you didn't let me vote, I just wanted to vote!
Sun Zhuo immediately picked up the ball and attacked again!
Most of the players of the Magic and Cavaliers had already walked far away, and when they heard the sound of basketball, they all looked back, and they were all dumbfounded: "What's the situation?" Why are the two of them still fighting? ”
Sun Zhuo is very serious about dribbling and attacking, and James is very serious about defending.
Sun Zhuo singled James strongly, and James defended very fiercely, just not letting Sun Zhuo score.
Howard reminded the referee on the sidelines: "James has a foul!" ”
The referee glanced at the two of them, turned around and left, at halftime, he didn't care so much, if he wanted to continue to work, he had to add money.
Sun Zhuo was out of breath, two minutes, he couldn't score in front of James, now there is no whistle, James has no scruples about defending at all, Sun Zhuo just wanted to hit James to score one, but was fouled by James and directly took out the ball.
"Give it up, I'm not going to let you score." James is also tired, but if Sun Zhuo doesn't put down the basketball, James will definitely not go.
Sun Zhuo knew that in such a situation, no matter how strong his personal strength was, he would never be able to score, but he was unwilling to put down the basketball, so Sun Zhuo ran directly to another basket......
"That's our offensive basket!" James shouted as he chased.
"Switching offensive directions after halftime, isn't it your first day of playing basketball?" Sun Zhuo said, flew up, dunked the ball into the basket, and then trotted to the locker room.
James: "......"
