Chapter 085: Opening Xiaoyou
"Hey, can I tell I'm lost?" With a super reluctant explanation, Li Chen suddenly appeared in the Lakers' locker room.
It seems that he has long recognized the strangeness of his disciples, and the old monk was not too surprised, he looked at Li Chen's big man with a full head, and his attitude was unexpectedly peaceful, "Seeing that you don't need to warm up like this, let's hurry up after changing your clothes!" ”
The 23v24 rivalry was finally in anticipation of the crowd, and after the All-Star Weekend, both teams are now in top form, not only are the players in high morale, but what is even more rare is that neither team is out injured and there is reason to believe that this game will not disappoint.
The Lakers fielded their most frequently used lineup today, with the twin towers of Gasol and Bynum, the twin swingmen of Li Chen and Kobe Bryant, and the old Fisher. Although Li Chen's dribbling level is getting more and more perfect, it can be seen that the old monk is not eager for his disciple to play a cameo point guard, he hopes to use this as a killer weapon to test his power in the playoffs, and this strategy also provides Li Chen with more time in a different direction.
On the Cavaliers' side, the combination of Big Z and Big Ben doesn't look weak, and James's strength at small forward is beyond doubt, and he has already lost his temper at all in the All-Star Game with Li Chen, although fans complain that the little emperor will only rely on his body, but there is no way, his parents just gave him a good body, just like Li Chen's perverted three points, which is also a talent.
Mo Williams on the point guard, although he was named indispensable by the majority of Celestial Empire fans because of Yi Di, but in fact, this guy still has a hand, not only has a certain level of three-point shooting on the outside, but also the breakthrough and organization are also qualified, and later being able to enter the All-Star also proves his ability.
As for the Emperor Taishang on the guard, I won't introduce it much for reasons of harmony. Although someone issued a statement saying that he had never done it, in fact, no one knows, anyway, this basin is going to be detained to death.
James is very prepared today, they have a very strong record this season, and after a month or two, the Cavaliers have managed to surpass the Celtics and climb to the top of the East. At the same time, due to the sinking of the Spurs and Lakers in January, the current No. 1 in the East is also the No. 1 in the league.
** Vicky and his disciples had a miserable January performance, compared to the Lakers' 8-5, 6-8, which caused them to drop from first to fourth in the West. Come to think of it, the Spurs' January schedule is so dense that the calculating Vic is likely to selectively ignore some games for the sake of conserving energy.
Of course, the hardcore fans of the Lakers are reluctant to admit this reason, they believe that this is the true strength of the Spurs, and the excellent performance in the first half is just the result of overdrawing physical strength, and now Vicky has finally tasted the bitter fruit of his own sowing.
The Lakers have finally managed to return to the top spot in the West. Although there is a Cavaliers in front of them, and the Magic's record is the same as that of the Lakers, the Purple and Gold's opponents in the East have always been only the Celtics, and as for other teams, they are decisively ignored.
After James' old-fashioned sprinkling of magnesium powder, the referee officially blew the whistle for the start of the game.
In the opening jump ball, there is no doubt that the young and strong Bynum won easily, if Da Z can be a few years younger, then it is estimated that, well, he will still lose to Bynum. For most white insiders, technical flow is their label, and floor flow is also characteristic of this group.
The Lakers' first offense, no one would have imagined that Lao Yu would suddenly pull up a three-point on the outside, including Xiao Mo, who defended him, you never have to doubt the accuracy of a shooter in an almost air-guarding situation, and the crisp scorer told people the answer.
Xiao Mo on the Cavaliers' side looked very annoyed, this ball is undoubtedly his mistake, and it is not easy to make Lao Yu ** a three-pointer, after all, everyone can be Xiao Mo's uncle at any age, in view of this, the league should really award Xiao Mo an award for respecting the old and loving the young, of course, the premise is that the United States has this tradition.
"Derek, are you about to explode? Are you going to take 30+ or more today? "The Lakers who were in a good mood even started to gag with three points on the first offense.
**The feeling of three points made Lao Yu very satisfied, "I've been camouflaging for half a season, and I finally got the opportunity today, well, I feel good today!" "It is worthy of being an old man in the team, this old scheming can simply catch up with the TV series, hiding for half a season for this three points, Li Chen couldn't help but secretly scolded himself, "Why don't you keep hiding, wouldn't it be more cool to come back to such a hand when you wait for the finals!" ”
Back to the Cavaliers, although he was given three points by the top of the weak ranking of the league's point guards, Xiao Mo had no intention of playing back. On the one hand, this is James's team, and it is common for the younger brother to be humiliated and the boss is outstanding, on the other hand, the lack of qualifications is also Xiao Mo's hard injury, you must know that this is his first season with the Cavaliers.
He's not like an old fish, if you don't count the years you spent wandering halfway, then Fisher and Kobe Bryant are the most experienced in the Lakers, and if he really recklessly throws a few people, I believe no one will blame him. Of course, if he wants to do that, he is not an old fish loved by the lake honey, weak and steady are the most important characteristics of Fisher.
Xiao Mo stuffed the ball directly into James's hands, although Xiao Emperor and Li Chen were also classified as organizational strikers, but James obviously did much more work than the latter.
He's always the most aggressive guy on the Cavaliers, and on the offensive end you can see him carrying defenders inside time and time again, and on the defensive end you can see him trying to limit his opponents' play. It's rare that James has always been able to do the best of the work that McBrown has given him.
Well, it's not Mike Brown, it's James himself who asks for himself, and like Larry Brown, one of the two Browns is a puppet of the Little Emperor, and the other has been a puppet of Iverson. And McBrown can be said to be the most relaxed head coach in the league, but this guy even won the best coach, this result is really unwilling for those real coaches who fight in the middle of the night to plan tactics.
"Hey, Cruz, meet again!" James said hello very kindly, but the second half of his sentence sounded like a provocation, "How about it, how about we have another All-Star matchup today?" ”
Everyone knows what James did in the All-Star Game, although the final ending was tragic, but at least it was still wonderful before, the little emperor ignored the Big Apple's defense again and again and broke into the inside, and the latter had no power to fight back against the opponent's savage advance. James is clearly revealing his shortcomings when he says this now.
Li Chen was unexpectedly calm, in his mind, wasn't he just blown up by James, this is nothing. There are more people in the league who are ignored by the little emperor, and it is not surprising that there is one more of them, not to mention that he has not scored several beautiful goals on the opponent's head. If this guy wants to laugh, let him laugh, and when his physical fitness reaches its peak, this guy will suffer!
"Good physical fitness only proves that your parents' union is successful, but that doesn't mean you can show your ugly breakthrough with a crappy performance of four, five, or even six steps without any scruples, and of course, I won't forget your weak back skills, which made me sick for three days after the All-Star break."
Li Chen's face calmed down and said this, in comparison, James is weaker than a notch, although he claims to the outside world that crab step is his unique skill, no step, but unfortunately there is a technology in this world called video playback, although the referee will not really care, but if others really want to take it out, the little emperor can't find suitable words to refute.
Therefore, he simply straightened his face, snorted coldly, and lowered his center of gravity, it seemed that he was about to break through. He wanted to let the rookie on the other side know that no matter how ugly the posture was, as long as he could successfully get the numbers on the scoreboard to rise, that posture or anything didn't matter.
It's true that, like Reggie Miller's three-pointers, everyone says his chicken feet are ugly, but equally everyone has no doubt that he is the most successful shooter in the league. Of course, this title later belonged to Lei Allen, and the three points of the gentleman Lei are very handsome.
James was determined to enter the inside line, Li Chen couldn't stop it if he wanted to, he felt that James next to him was like a heavy truck, it seemed that anything that stood in front of him would be crushed by him, in this regard, all he could do was to stick firmly to the opponent's side, and at the same time call Bynum on the inside line to come out to make up for the defense.
Since James is known as a once-in-a-decade genius, his basketball IQ must not be low, and in the face of a double bag, he decisively handed over the ball. The Emperor Delontiwest became a beneficiary, because Xiao Mo, who was known as Mo Buchuan, took the initiative to share the ball after receiving the ball, and West rarely had a chance to make a shot, but unfortunately, it may be because of kidney deficiency, his ball shot a three-no-stick.
There was a lamentation in the audience, just now they were still applauding Xiao Mo's flash of inspiration, because the fans of the Cavaliers knew that it was really difficult for him to let Xiao Mo, who had a lot of criminal records, pass this good ball. Just in the blink of an eye, West turned this wonderful pass from his teammate into a joke.
As the highest-level basketball event in the NBA, the appearance of a three-no-stick is enough to be spread as a joke, and the key is that the three-no-stick is still thrown near the free throw line, which is even more remarkable.
fu, James cursed, West's recent training attitude has been getting worse and worse, and the game is also very inconsistent, he thinks it's time to find a time to talk to his younger brother, the team's goal this year is to win the championship, although the Cavaliers currently occupy the first place in the league, but this is not a reason for them to relax.
Especially the opponent in this game is the Lakers, who are temporarily in the first place in the West, whether it is for personal reasons or team factors, James does not want to lose this game. If you can successfully enter the Finals and the opponent is still the Lakers, then the result of this confrontation will become a very important psychological factor, and the winning side will inevitably have a good advantage.
The ball was transferred to the Lakers' side, Lao Yu didn't make a strong three-point shot this time, Xiao Mo, who made a mistake once, had already put up a defensive posture this time, and that positive appearance made Lao Yu throw out the hot potato in his hand very decisively, and he honestly handed the ball to Kobe Bryant just after halftime.
The boss relentlessly integrated the offense, motioned for his teammates to open up the space, and he was about to show off his individual skills again.
Drip! The referee signaled for a foul on the beater, and No. 24 Kobe Bryant scored two points and added a free throw.
In the offense just now, Bryant successfully tricked West into jumping with realistic feints, and then it was simple, the boss played a time difference, won a foul and scored the ball smoothly, and the Lakers' scoreboard added 3 points again.
James is gone, and it is forgivable to make mistakes in the offense, after all, everyone has a bad hand, but it is unforgivable to make such a low-level mistake on the defensive end. Either give away two free throws with a foul, or bet on the opponent's feel without a foul, but West just gave people a two-plus-one, considering the little brother's recent bad attitude, the little emperor has already had the idea of substitution.
Mike Brown guessed what the boss was thinking, and he was looking at James if he wanted to make a substitution. The latter shook his head slightly, the game had just begun, and the substitution would be too demoralizing, James decided to give West another chance, and if he really couldn't help himself, then make a decisive change.
McBrown's only tactic is James, his only idea is to listen to James's ideas, and the tacit understanding he has cultivated for a long time makes it easy for him to guess the boss's idea, although the timing is not suitable now, but it will be suitable later, he is already thinking about who to send to play.
The Cavaliers' quarterbacks really can't find a few characters who can do it, West is already the strongest, and the others are just dishes, and there was originally a defensive man with no IQ Larry Hughes, but now the people have gone to the Bulls, and only the remaining Szzebiak is still shouldering the heavy responsibility of the sixth man.
The talent shortage is also the reason why James blindly indulges the bad attitude of his younger brother, after all, championships are more important. The 03 generation of Wade has long had a Finals MVP in hand, but James, as a leader, was gorgeously beaten by the Spurs in his first Finals experience, and the pressure from the outside world and the distrust of fans have made the little emperor a little anxious.
The opening 6:0, the Lakers have a small advantage!
(I forgot to pass on that chapter at noon, so I'll make up for it a few hours later!) )
