Chapter Forty-Seven: The Menacing Eagle
Wednesday, November 3, 2010, the weather was fine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info is a full month away from the first home season game against the Heat on December 3, 2010.
Yuan Shu drove his Porsche 718 to the Quick Loan Arena early, and when the game was about to start, Yuan Shu had been practicing on the court for more than 1 hour.
Although the sweat has soaked Yuan Shu's training clothes, the powerful Yuan Shu does not feel tired, but feels that the more he practices, the more energetic he becomes!
The last time he used "Raging Magnesium Powder", Yuan Shu had already found that he did not control the sudden increase in strength very well, so today he deliberately adapted to his sudden surge in strength in advance.
Today the Cavaliers will host the menacing Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks made a historic breakthrough with a 53-29 record last season to finish third in the East, but after a tough 4-3 win over the Bucks in the first round, they lost 4-0 to Howard's Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals and reached the semifinals.
This season, the Hawks are back, and the main players are still the original team, so the Hawks' cooperation is more tacit than last season, although there is no superstar, but relying on the overall coordination of the play, the Hawks are undefeated at the beginning of the new season under the leadership of coach Larry Drew, and have won 3 consecutive victories, temporarily ranking first in the East!
The Eagles' starting lineup is unchanged from last season, and the team works well together and runs smoothly.
The center position, by the 2007 Tanhua show, Dominican Republic's Al Horford sitting, although only 2.08 meters tall, but Horford has a tough style of play, and can be inside and out, very athletic, belongs to a very flexible mobile center! In his third season, Horford, who played in 81 games, could shoot 55.1% from the field, averaging 14.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals per game.
The starting spot for the big forward was given to the 2005 star show - Marvin Williams, who is 2.06 meters tall and has a good mid-range shooting technique, and played 81 regular season games last season, willing to do all the dirty work on the court, which is very similar to the functionality of Yuan Shu of the current Cavaliers, but Yuan Shu's role is mainly manifested in rebounds and blocks, while Williams's role is to shoot and open up the opponent's defensive space.
The small forward position is led by Josh Smith, who is still full of attendance last season, and the forward will average 15.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.6 steals per game last season, and also has a 50.5% shooting percentage and almost no shooting from beyond the three-point line, which is the only problem he likes to shoot from outside the three-point line. But the problem with Smith is that while he often shoots difficult shots with ease, he often doesn't play as well when you need him to make a key shot.
There is no suspense in the starting position of the shooting guard, and the "Eagle King" Joe Johnson also averaged 21.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game last season, and his performance is very stable, a position that no one can take away from Johnson.
The selection of the organization guard, although Bibi's performance last season had a surprising decline, the average points per game fell from 14.9 points in the 08-09 season to 9.1 points in the 09-10 season, but the organization and scoring ability at key moments are still trustworthy, especially the three-point shooting rate of nearly 4 percent, which often made the then coach Woodson put Biby on the court at the last moment, even if the substitute Jeff Teague performed well, he couldn't move. It seems that this season, Teague will still be pressed on the bench by Bibi.
On the starting list of the Cavaliers announced before the game, there is no suspense, Yuan Shu is still arranged in the position of starting power forward, but Vallejo was "headshot" by Cousins in the last game, so for the sake of safety, Scott did not arrange for him to play in this game, and the position of the main center was started by Ryan Hollins.
Before Yuan Shu came on the court, he looked at his tall 86-point strength attribute again, and couldn't help but be a little excited, he finally had the capital to really gain a foothold on the NBA court without relying on reward props!
Yuan Shu knows that the Eagles in front of him is a team that has always relied on the overall operation, and the tacit understanding between the players is very high.
In any case, in this case, let's use the power of props first.
Yuan Shu gently put the "Insight Aura" on his head before walking on the field, and the worn halo was suspended above Yuan Shu's head at this moment. And in the eyes of outsiders, this aura is completely invisible.
"That guy is funny, do you bring yourself a crown?" Bibby said with a sneer.
"Why can't I see it, maybe it's the crown in "The Emperor's New Clothes"." Marvin Williams responded with a smile.
After saying that, the two laughed.
Jamison, who was standing near the two, thought to himself, "sh... it, why are there always fools who provoke Yuan Shu before the game, and it must be you who will regret it later! ”
Although Yuan Shu did not throw magnesium powder this time, Jamison found that whenever Yuan Shu had some strange movements before coming on the court, he would definitely behave unusually on the court.
"Maybe it's some kind of special ritual in China." Jamison thought so.
Yuan ignored the conversation between Bibby and Williams and walked onto the court with his head held high.
"Yuan, come on! them hard! ”
Yuan Shu's ears suddenly stood up, and when he heard the words, he looked towards the stands, I wipe, what is that? My poster? I actually have fans!
Yuan Shu saw that in the stands, an enthusiastic chubby white uncle held a poster with Yuan Shu's head and No. 23 jersey, shouting loudly in the stands.
I'm not a female fan, but it's better than nothing! Yuan Shu is still a little excited about the change from 0 to 1! Hurriedly waved to the uncle.
At the beginning of the game, Hollins was a little nervous about his start, and did not fight for Horford, who was 3cm shorter than him, when jumping the ball, the Hawks took the lead in attacking, and Bibby controlled the ball and jumped through the half court step by step.
The Hawks' first offense handed the ball to Horford, and the Hawks players also learned before the game that the Cavaliers' main center Vallejo was temporarily unavailable, so Hollins, who started off the bench, naturally became the Hawks' active attack.
Horford's strength is not ordinary, he can become an Eastern All-Star in the NBA with many tall people, and if he doesn't have height, he must have enough strength.
Horford used his back to resist Hollins three times in a row and then came to the basket, and did not choose to go to the basket, but used the confrontation between the two for a moment to cause Hollins to shift his center of gravity backwards, and immediately turned back one and a half times and came to shoot backwards!
As soon as the ball was shot, Horford felt bad, and a black shadow suddenly appeared between himself and Hollins, and directly hugged the ball thrown by Horford in the air! It's as if it was judged in advance!
I didn't expect that 0.1 seconds of advance insight would have such a strong effect! Yuan Shu also mistakenly thought that this insight aura was just an item that was better than nothing.
It turned out that at the moment when Horford and Hollins collided just now, in Yuan Shu's eyes, there was already an afterimage of Horford about to turn around, predicting that Horford might want to shoot backwards, Yuan Shu immediately relied on his advance judgment to rush to Horford, and neatly seemed to have made a negotiated cooperation with Horford, and directly held the ball that the opponent had just shot in his arms!
