Chapter 512: Roy VS Zhan Huang (1)

To some extent, Chang Wei is the most experienced person in the playoffs of the Bobcats, needless to say Jackson, a rookie coach, and the players have basically not participated in the playoffs, even if their respective old clubs have scored in the top eight in the East and West, it is difficult for them to get enough playing time, so they will definitely not get much workout.

At Jackson's request, Chang Wei seized the time to mentally build the players, hoping that they would not be nervous about going to the playoffs for the first time. Of course, Roy, the leader of the team, doesn't need to take much time for Chang Wei, his maturity is far beyond his actual age, and in fact Roy is also the best player in the preparation training, if not one.

His state makes Chang Wei feel very gratified, which is also the capital of the Bobcats and the Cavaliers against each other. Although it has the inside and outside combination of James and O'Neal, the other players in several other positions of the Cavaliers are mediocre, only Larry Hughes, who is the starting point guard, is not bad, and in addition, whether it is Gibson or Gooden, the Bobcats still have a chance to win in these positions.

In order to give the players enough time to adapt, Jackson led the team to Cleveland a day early. Everyone is a small market team, but in the eyes of the Bobcats players, the status of the Cavaliers in Cleveland is much higher than their status in Charlotte, but there is no way to do it, after all, Charlotte fans still care more about the NCAA game, and the status of the Bobcats is indeed not high.

However, to their surprise, the Cavaliers fans did not do anything drastic about their arrival. When the Bobcats warmed up at the arena two hours before the game, the Cavaliers fans who entered early did not boo them, but instead waved banners and slogans in support of the Cavaliers, looking forward to the home team's entry.

Such an attitude made the Bobcats players wonder, but at the same time relieved, after all, boos in the sky are extremely stressful for any player. However, Chang Wei felt very unhappy, he had been in the NBA for many years, and naturally knew why Cavaliers fans were so polite to the Bobcats who came from afar, in the final analysis, it was because they looked down on this new team.

If it were a top team in the East like the Pistons, the home fans would certainly not hesitate to unleash the greatest malice, but the Bobcats were different. Many people still think that they are lucky to make the playoffs, or at least take advantage of the overall poor strength of the Eastern team, in other words, they don't believe that the Bobcats' strength can threaten them, and they can naturally show the so-called pity of being a strong team. However, this also made the Bobcats players relax a lot by mistake, and it can be regarded as turning bad things into good things!

After the warm-up, Jackson put the finishing touches on the players in the visiting dressing room. He still asked everyone to play as much as possible in the game as much as possible in the game, and if the Cavaliers' defense is too strong, then put the ball in Roy's hands for him to handle. For such a heavy task, Roy just nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, he was full of confidence in his strength.

The game kicked off at 8 p.m. local time, and it was Milicic who jumped to the center circle on the Bobcats' side, and the Cavaliers unexpectedly sent Gooden, apparently doing everything they could to reduce O'Neal's physical exertion. Gooden, who played as a power forward, was naturally no better than the young and strong Milicic, and the Bobcats successfully won the first wave of offensive possession of the game.

The basketball unsurprisingly went into Roy's hands, and Jack was the second ball-handler in the Bobcats' starting lineup, and Roy was in control of the ball. Originally, Roy wanted to play with his teammates, but the Cavaliers' defense made the basketball turn around and then returned to his hands, and it seemed that he should be holding the ball and playing alone, so it seemed that there was no problem with the start.

Hughes is the Cavaliers' No. 1 defender on the outside, and he just happened to be in the opposite position with Roy, and when the basketball returned to Roy's hands, he pressed it up at the first time, and lowered his center of gravity half a meter away from Roy, ready to make a steal at any time.

Although Roy is a rookie, he also doesn't take Hughes's defense seriously. As the leader of the Bobcats and the leading scorer, Roy has to "enjoy" the defense of the opponent's outside gate in every game, and Hughes's ability on the defensive end is still inferior to those other defenders, and Roy made it inside with a simple change of pace.

Hughes was shocked and quickly turned to chase back, and Gooden also met him, intending to flank back and forth. Roy didn't slow down, and swept past Gooden with a turn, but he didn't continue to burst to the basket, just turned around and jumped out of his hand, and the basketball obediently fell past Gooden's fingertips into the basket to help the Bobcats open the scoring in this game.

However, this did not make Roy's indifferent expression wave, he simply high-fived his teammates, and then ran backwards towards his own half. Hughes, who was poor defensively, just shrugged his shoulders and didn't take Roy's breakthrough to heart, it was only the first round of the game anyway, and Roy had a hard time treating him as a rookie.

Gooden tees off at the back and lets Gibson take the half court. In fact, the starting point guards of the Cavaliers and Bobcats are similar, and Gibson is also a point guard who does not control the ball, he only needs to take the ball through the half court and then hand it to James.

After three seasons of polishing, James has evolved into the top point forward in the history of the league and even the NBA, of course, his scoring ability is also very strong, but he is also a good organizer of offense. Naturally, the Cavaliers coach also wants to develop all of his abilities, and it is normal for a relatively pure three-point shooter like Gibson to serve as the starting point guard.

Gibson took the ball across half court and gave it to James as soon as possible, while he ran to the corner, ready to catch and shoot. Because Jackson is going to play against the Cavaliers, the Bobcats' starting small forward is Ariza, who is responsible for defending James full-time. But before he could catch up, James had already started, his breakthrough was very different from Roy, although both sides were coincidental, but Roy relied on footwork and rhythm, and James forced a breakthrough with his own steel and iron bones.

Ariza was knocked straight to the side by him. By the time he regained his focus, James had already come to the basket and completed a violent dunk across Milicic, which also caused Milicic to foul. When he fell from the basket, James waved his fist and roared to the sky, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire arena, and the MVP shouts were like a sea of mountains......
