Chapter 220: Finally waiting for you
Stepa Marbury joined the camp of the chic and was willing to give it his all for the chic spirit.
However, not every player thinks that way, they still don't have a lot of ideas about this explosive game, and they are not particularly active in training.
However, the good news is that the newcomer Harrington is a good friend of Stephen Marbury, and he also dislikes LeBron James, so he has naturally become Xiao's staunchest supporter.
For Chick, support is enough. Because in his opinion, although the Cavaliers have the second regular season record in the East, they are not invincible, and they are not the kind of system that is so meticulous that there are no loopholes. If they really are a team with a one-link tactical system like the Spurs, and if they are really a team like the Celtics who can't defend against it, Xiao Xiao may not be so-for-tat. But they are only knights, so they have the strength to fight, and they have the possibility of victory.
Time flies and the day of the game comes very quickly.
The high-profile battle was eventually broadcast live across the U.S. by ESPN, and will be broadcast live from many countries and regions around the world, including, of course, China.
For ESPN, the focus is of course on how badly Xiao will lose tonight. They are already firm and dashing sunspots, where can they see dashing good? Now LeBron James, the first person in the league, wants to stand up and teach Xiao a lesson, they have to stand up and wave their flags and shout!!
"A lot of people think it's going to be a fierce battle of the spotlight, and even that it's going to be a Mars-Earth-style battle of the century. But my point of view is that this is a one-sided slaughter of the disparity. Because no matter what position you look at. The Cavaliers are all about the Knicks. The Cavaliers are stronger than the Knicks in every position. The depth of the bench made the Knicks even more powerless. Chick, although the mouth is very hard. He is also very keen to use a victory to prove his status. But alas, tonight he met LeBron James. LeBron James certainly won't let him get his wish. The host of ESPN showed his attitude at the beginning with a very strict and tendentious statement.
Actually, he doesn't say it, and the fans also know what ESPN stands for. After all, it's not once or twice that ESPN has belittled Xiao Xiao. Since Xiao Xiao has not officially played in the NBA, they have already formed a bond. ESPN spent a lot of energy on Chick, but unfortunately they couldn't please it once. But this time, they are convinced that LeBron James can bring them the dawn of victory.
"Audience friends. Fans and friends, the broadcast brought to you today is the Knicks vs. Cavaliers game. This game was already full of gunpowder before it started, and James, the little emperor of the Cavaliers, had already released his words that he must win this game. And our pride of the sky, our chic, also gave a clear response: If you want to win, there is no way! For this game, James is bound to win. And our chic is also in dire need of a good start after joining the new club. Both are NBA talents, and the collision between them is sure to produce very intense sparks. Audience friends, the exciting game starts as soon as the commercial returns! ”
The CCTV hosts also showed their attitude, although Xiao Xiao is Chinese, their speeches are quite objective. Basically, there is not much bias, but this is a frenzy of several streets of ESPN, which claims to be news-free.
In the locker room before the start of the game. Xiao Sao had very intense negotiations with D'Antoni. Xiao asked for Stephen Marbury, who had just been dropped off the list, to be added to the starting lineup, but D'Antoni did not compromise in the slightest and chose the original starter Chris Dujon, who he thought would be a better fit for his tactics.
Xiao is stubborn, but he can only put forward another condition, which is to replace Jeffries with Harrington as the starting power forward.
For the chic mention of yì, D'Antoni still accepted it. He felt that Harrington was indeed a good fit for the power forward position, and there would not be much compatibility with the tactics, after all, the team he was on was also known for playing fast offense.
Although Xiao and D'Antoni had a fierce dispute over the starting issue, in fact, the two did not have a knot in their hearts. This is different from the relationship between Xiao Xiao and McDonleavy, although the two remain peaceful on the surface, but McDonleavy's heart is eager for Xiao to die, and this also causes the final disintegration.
As game time approached, players from both sides took to the pitch in front of a packed crowd of fans at Madison Garden.
The starting lineup for the Knicks is: David Lee, Harrington, Chandler, Dash and Chris Duhon. This is a very typical fast-break lineup, and in fact, needless to say, everyone on Earth knows that the Knicks are playing run-and-shoot. After all, this is D'Antoni's signature tactic.
And the Cleveland Cavaliers' lineup is also a bit strange, they actually used a two-point guard lineup tonight...... Mo Williams, Dronte West, LeBron James, Vallejo, Ben Wallace.
It's also a very mobile lineup.
Do the Cavaliers want to run up with the New York Knicks?
Fans in New York were immediately worried when they saw the situation. In their opinion, the fast-break lineup put forward by the Cavaliers greatly surpasses the Knicks in terms of offense, organization and defense.
However, Xiao Dash smiled. He felt that if the Cavaliers were so big, they would lose even more. When the Cavaliers take the initiative to enter the fast pace, it is equivalent to saying that they have given up their advantages in advance and used their disadvantages to fight with the advantages of the Knicks.
"You're going to lose tonight!" When the players on both sides shook hands with each other, Xiao Sang deliberately walked up to James and left this cold and emotionless sentence. It's like a trial.
"Humph!" LeBron James snorted: "I don't know where your confidence comes from, but I know I have to teach you a hard lesson tonight, otherwise you really think that you can dominate the basketball world after nine months of learning basketball." ”
"Wanted to teach me a lesson. Then please be prepared to eat dog poop first. Don't cry and shout that shit is unpalatable. Xiao Xiao smiled. Trash talk spews up wave after wave.
"Humph!" James snorted again, and then completely ignored Chic.
Obviously, he couldn't outdo Xiao in words, so he could only replace it with a cold snort.
Xiao Shao is a psychologist, and of course he knows what James' move means, so he smiled happily.
He enjoyed the feeling of winning the first meeting.
Drip!
With the referee's whistle, David Lee jumped at the same time as Ben Wallace...... Syllable!
The basketball was finally photographed by David Lee on Xiao Sa's side, and Xiao Sa quickly took the lead. Grabbed the basketball before Westy. Then without waiting for the Cavaliers' defense to react, he quickly launched a lightning impact, and when Xiao Shi rode away, West then understood, he hurriedly pursued, but he fell behind in the first step, and then he could only lag behind step by step.
When Xiao Sao sprinted to the three-point line at the fastest speed, he didn't hesitate and jumped out with a faster frequency...... When the basketball quickly left the hands, the fans at the scene were very surprised. They didn't expect Xiao Xiao to deal with it in such a way. At this time, if there is no defense in front, shouldn't it be more important to rush in and dunk? This is obviously more reasonable! Even if you want to shoot three points, you shouldn't be in such a hurry, right? It's like throwing a hot potato, and the way it is handled is too frizzy, right?
The fans' doubts have not yet been fully released. Swish!
A pleasant voice stopped the confusion and turned all the confusion into an exclamation that resounded through Madison Garden.
This ball...... Actually entered?
This frizzy three-point ...... Actually entered??
How did this guy do it?
In the exclamation of the audience, Xiao Xiao raised his hand handsomely, and then shouted loudly: "Hello! new-york!! ”
Xiao greeted him loudly, and soon ushered in a chorus of replies for him: "Hello! Chic!! ”
When the greetings of the audience came in unison, Xiao showed a bright smile. He loves the New York fans, is fanatical and courteous, and knows how to exchange courtesies.
LeBron James obviously didn't expect Xiao Po to set Madison Garden on fire with his first goal, let alone that Xiao Po would have such a close interaction with New York fans so quickly.
At this time, Xiao Shi didn't bother to take care of him. He just walked up to Dronte West silently and said very kindly, "I really envy you, Mr. West, that you can meet such a good shooting shooter as me." Actually, I have a kind suggestion for you, since you can't defend me, you can watch my shooting skills more easily. ”
Drontiwest rolled his eyelids and glanced at Xiao with some unpleasantness: "Are you talking trash to me?" Rookie!! ”
"Just a heartfelt Jianyì." Xiao shrugged his shoulders and replied honestly.
"You better put more thought on yourself, throwing in a gambling three-point is not enough to make you proud of being like this, God will not be on your side forever. Rookie! Drontiwest said contemptuously, "This is my advice to you." ”
"Thanks, you'll know how stupid your builder is right away." Even if he says something nasty, he still has a smile on his face. Because he studied psychology, and because his job is to provoke others, not to be provoked by others, control is his specialization.
Drontiwest is still a veteran player after all, and he knows Xiao Shi's intentions, so he doesn't plan to continue to fight with Xiao Xiao like this. By this time, Mo Williams had already arrived on the scene with the ball, and then he quickly ran and integrated into the tactical run.
After a while of pounding, the Cavaliers' basketball was finally handed over to James. James tossed several times, but finally chose to break through, and then distributed the ball to Mo Williams, who received the ball and shook off Chris Dujon to shoot...... Swish! The basketball hit steadily, and it was a long-distance mid-range shot.
In fact, this is a very common tactic for the Cavaliers this season, which is James breaking through and then distributing the ball to Mo Williams, who takes advantage of gaps in the defense to shoot quickly.
This kind of tactic is a very good help for More, so this season is his best since joining the NBA, and he even has hopes of making it to the All-Star Game.
And such a tactic is not at all surprising to Xiao Shao.
He watched a lot of Cavaliers videos, and it was commonplace.
So, he quickly urged Harrington to serve. After taking the basketball, he quickly sprinted. Drontiwest immediately chased after him, trying to keep up with the dashing pace.
But Xiao ran faster and faster, just when West thought he couldn't catch up and gave up. Xiao Sa suddenly made an emergency stop, and before West could brake, Xiao Sa jumped up at high speed again, and then shot extremely quickly......
When Xiao Shi threw the basketball out of his hand like a hot potato again.
The New York fans began to question a little less, because Xiao Xiao had already scored one such goal, so this time they were vaguely expecting this goal to score as well!
Soon, huh!
The basketball pierced the net with unmistakable accuracy.
Because this accurate and legendary three-point shot catered to everyone's expectations, there were more cheers and screams at Madison Garden this time than before.
In fact, the whole city went into madness at this moment.
Xiao Xiao is so remarkable, he actually scored two incredible three points in the first game of his new club. This was completely unexpected by all the fans. They expected Xiao Shi to do something amazing, but they didn't expect it to be so earth-shattering.
These two three points, which are so difficult, so unreasonable, and so arrogant, are simply overbearing to the extreme, okay??
After the excitement, the New York fans couldn't help but burst into tears. It's been years since the New York Knicks had a player who could instantly stir up excitement among fans.
Finally waiting for you!
Good thing I didn't give up! (To be continued......)
