"Cleveland Rings Big Ben" – This is the headline on the front page of ESPN's basketball website.

Ben wearing a headband. Wallace is the background image of the title, while Ben. Behind Wallace is the Union Center, and in front of him is the Quick Loan Center, and the meaning of the picture is self-evident.

No one expected that such a big deal would really break out at this time, with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, and Seattle SuperSonics involved.

And this three-way deal involves as many as 11 people from three teams, and such a large-scale three-way deal is almost the normal number of players in a team.

Throw away all other factors, and just looking at the number of players involved in the trade can give the impression that it's a big deal, let alone involving three All-Star-caliber players.

Four-time Defensive Player of the Year award and four-time All-Star selection. Wallace, the former steal king of the league's first defensive team, averaged 20 points per game. Hughes, an All-Star super-three-point shooter named Szelbiak.

In addition to this, the Cleveland Cavaliers also received three years from the Chicago Bulls, and entered the league in 1995. Smith and a 2009 second-round pick, Szelbiak, an injured super-three-point shooter from the SuperSonics, and backcourt defensive stalwart Dronte, who traveled to the SuperSonics from Boston this season. West.

And the Bulls got interior player Drew from the Cavaliers. Gooden, as well as Larry, the team's second-in-command who once made the Cavaliers look forward to it. Hughes and Shannon. Brown, Cedric. Simmons; The SuperSonics, who are leaving Seattle next season, played a role in the 11-man trade for three teams, getting the single-game three-point shooting record holder Donnie from the Cavaliers. Marshall, Newball, Adrian from the Bulls. Griffin.

"Cleveland got rid of Larry's terrible contract. Although for this they were offered another big multi-year contract that didn't look good. But Ben at least looks like a better fit for Cleveland than Larry. The New York Times writes.

As the New York Times put it. For Cleveland, and even for any fan, to be able to feel this. Wallace's move to the Cavaliers has brought a big impact to the rest of the league, especially the Eastern Conference teams.

Cavaliers General Manager Danny. Ferry smiled happily: "I know that countless Cavaliers fans are looking forward to seeing the new Cleveland interior play against Orlando, Boston and even Western Conference teams, and that's what draws us in, and we're going to move forward well, and I can't wait for the game to start." ”

And as the leader of the team, LeBron. James even expressed his appreciation for Ben. Wallace's welcome: "I knew he was a super inside player before I even entered the league, and I'm glad I got the opportunity to play with him and play as a player.

As for Larry, thank you for his two years in Cleveland, and I will remember all the contributions he made. Good luck with him in Chicago. ”

James was very tactful and official, and the vast majority of Cleveland fans don't do that. Hughes was full of anticipation, but disappointed to the point of despair in the midst of great expectations.

Now see Larry. Hughes left in exchange for Ben, who was better defensively on the inside. Wallace started YY up one by one and the team's soon-to-be-formed interior defense.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Orlando Magic before All-Star Weekend, which is also the third meeting between the Magic and the Cavaliers this season, and the Magic and the Cavaliers will meet four times in the regular season.

In the first meeting of the season, the Magic lost miserably because of Linson's poor form, and the second meeting was during the Christmas game, when the Magic beat the Cavaliers by 27 points at home to pull one back.

However, this upcoming third meeting is completely different from the previous two. The Knights have a new Helper. Wallace.

Root. Wallace is also the guy the Cavaliers are hoping to contain the Magic's interior line, and this game is supposed to be an Eastern Conference Finals-level game. Not to mention Ben. Wallace joined the Cavaliers to face a truly strong team for the first time.

The Magic are also looking forward to this game, and the league is also rumored again with the big trade in Cleveland, and the NBA officially announced the list of players participating in the NBA All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge at noon on the 7th.

Lin Sen, who played soy sauce last year, won the Skills Challenge in 27.7 seconds and will be the defending champion this year, but this year at home in New Orleans.

In addition to this, the host Chris. Paul and Utah Sir Delon. Williams and Linson will occupy one of the four places.

This is also the fact that Lin Sen three people are competing in the same arena at the same time, and the last place to participate in the competition was recently caught in trade rumors by the old demon Jason. Kidd takes it, and he'll compete with Linson, the three most promising new generation of super point guards in the league's best point guard, in the Skills Challenge.

The Skills Challenge was held on the evening of February 16 local time in New Orleans, and the NBA's official website also announced the rookie challenge roster by the way.

Although it only took one year for Linsen to conquer countless fans, the fact that he still can't change is that he is a sophomore player, so he successfully made the sophomore list.

With the previously announced East and West All-Star starters, Linson already has at least three to play during the All-Star season in New Orleans.

Although the list of participants in the three-point contest and the list of slam dunk contests have not been announced, everyone knows that there is almost no suspense that Lin Sen will be selected for the three-point contest.

As for the slam dunk contest, there has been news that Lin Sen will join, although there has been no confirmed response from Lin Sen himself and the NBA league, but this news is getting more and more true.

Although the slam dunk contest has not yet begun, this method has already brought a lot of attention to the dunk contest, and countless fans have called on the league to invite Lin Sen to participate.

The Linsen brand, which has the right to operate independently, has also announced all-star special sneakers like Adidas and Nike sneaker manufacturers.

In Wood. Lin has even decided to accept all-star special orders in three days, and the all-star special models announced in advance include Lin Sen's own legendary second-generation All-Star 6 color combat boots for men and women.

However, what is even more interesting is that next to the 6 all-star color combat boots, there is a sign that will be revealed?

February 8th. The Orlando Magic host the Detroit Pistons. Natalie, who hasn't appeared on the sidelines for a long time. Portman reappeared in the public eye. However, to the disappointment of the reporters, she and Linsen's child Amy did not appear together.

Before this game, Linson specifically told Milicic what the team thought, and Milicic was relieved.

In the face of the Detroit Pistons, which are no longer what they used to be, there is not much pressure on the Magic.

In the end, in this game, Lin Sen only played 22 minutes and sat on the sidelines, the most eye-catching thing was not ChaunsiBillups who faced the old master, nor Lin Sen, but Darko, who also faced the old master. Milicic.

Once in Detroit by Larry. Milicic, who had no confidence in Brown's blow, received an accurate reply from Linson before the game, and it broke out again in this game.

In the last game against the Chicago Bulls, he scored a career-high 28 points in a single game. He scored 26 points again, while setting a career-high 18 rebounds and tying his career record for six blocks and five assists.

"26 points, 18 rebounds, 6 blocks, 5 assists, oh, I thought I saw Hakim.

Who said that Daktronics is a parallel import, I think Detroit, which is now trying to rebuild, will regret sending Dakko to Orlando when they see Dako, if they have Dakko then the road to rebuilding will be much easier, look at their poor record and badly damaged inside. Ryans, a basketball expert at the Los Angeles Times, wrote on his Twitter.

And tonight's performance of Milicic really shocked everyone, no one expected Milicic to break out in two consecutive games, and this game was even more crazy.

"I knew Dakko could do it, and I never doubted that. He's made a lot of sacrifices for the team, and that's why I have Dwight's great stats. It's not that he can't do it, he just gave us the opportunity and this game is the best proof of that.

As for those bad trade rumors, only a fool would believe that we are willing to send Dakko away. Lin Sen said in an interview after the game.

And Otis. Smith also stressed that the Magic would never send Milicic away, even if the opponent took Tim. Duncan swapped.

On this night, the league officially announced the New Orleans All-Star three-point shooting contest to participate in the list, and Lin Sen was selected without suspense, as well as Kobe Bryant. Bryant, Steve. Nash, Daniel. Gibson, Peja. Stojakovic, Jason. Capono.

Linson was the champion of the three-point contest last season, and the three-point shooting percentage this season is still among the top in the league, while Capono and Peja are both long-term three-point contest champions, and the three-point contest has become a game that many fans are looking forward to.

Three days later, when Linson walked away from Miami to victory, the league finally announced the participants in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

Just like the boiling news before, Lin Sen really entered the list of the slam dunk contest, but what makes fans crazy the most is LeBron, who has been rumored to enter the slam dunk contest since he entered the league. James actually entered the slam dunk contest this year.

In addition, there is the Timberwolves' nine-finger dunk king, Gerald. Green, and the new core of the Memphis Grizzlies, Rudy. Guy.

Almost without thinking about it, everyone knows how popular this year's slam dunk contest will be, and TNT, which has the right to broadcast live, is even more excited.

And Wood. Lin's official website also announced the boots that are waiting to be expected, not the third generation of legends but a special edition of the slam dunk contest.

However, to the regret of fans, there are no specific details of this shoe, just a name, and no one knows if this shoe is just a slight difference in the All-Star custom version.

On Feb. 13, the Magic will face the Cleveland Cavaliers, their last and toughest opponent before All-Star Weekend on the road.

"Now I just want to talk about the upcoming game, Wood is a tough guy and I know it's the third meeting between us and I hope this game plays what we need." James said in an interview with reporters before the game.

"Oh, this game is broadcast live by the two of us, last time I was so envious of Charles and Kenny, I could only watch them both in front of the TV, and this one is finally our turn." Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

"I'd rather see what happened to New Cleveland. However, Ben's integration is not bad, but the bigger highlight is the addition of Delonti. I thought Larry's departure would result in the perimeter defense having to rely on LeBron. But Delonti's outstanding performance caught my eye. He started Cleveland and started really well.

Dare to fight, the key is to do a good job of defense on the defensive end. Hoffman said.

"It really didn't surprise me, except for this game I would love to see the slam dunk contest in a few days, when was the last time I was looking forward to the dunk contest?" Bill. Wharton pondered, "It was a long, long time ago, maybe four years, maybe five years. ”

"The game is finally on, and just look at the Cleveland fans booing Wood and you can tell how much they love Wood." Hoffman quipped.

"Yes. Love it so much! ”

Howard and Milicic started inside, while the Cavaliers also played the role of Ben. Wallace and Igoskas were put into the starting line-up.

Howard easily beat Big Z with a jump ball and flicked the ball out, Billups got the ball, and the Cavaliers immediately quickly returned to defense.

Billups in Mike. Bibby came directly to the three-point line under the marking, and standing in front of Linson was not the Cavaliers' new recruit Delonti. West but LeBron. James himself.

"Congratulations on becoming a dad and being a dad again."

"Thank you."

"All-Star Game: I'll help you."

Lin Sen thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and looked at James with puzzled eyes.

"You heard it right, the All-Star Game's gift to the kids, last season's events wouldn't have happened." James said seriously.

Lin Sen suddenly had a feeling that James was actually very cute under his rugged appearance: "Xie Lu Xie, I think we should be able to be very good friends with you." ”

Lin Sen is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat. In fact, he doesn't have that much prejudice against James, except for the on-court plan James's crab step and the pride of his own son. Especially for James's personal ability, Lin Sen still admires it very much.

"However, this game ......"

"You want to take it?" Lin Sen interrupted James, "It's impossible, and this is one of my gift packages for my second child. ”

"It's not on my list of blessings either." James said coldly, and the whole person returned to Lin Sen's familiar game state again, and Lin Sen smiled and pulled outside the three-point line.

"Wood seems to be talking to LeBron, and it's incredible." Hoffman said, looking at the field.

Billups looked at Lin Sen, who ran out of the three-point line, and passed the ball directly, Lin Sen just received the ball James pounced in front of him, and the friendly speech just now was completely like two people, the aggressive eyes and unstoppable momentum made him feel how strong James's mentality of winning was.

"The opening is the matchup that everyone is looking forward to, LeBron vs Wood, that's what we all want to see." Bill. Wharton looked expectant.

"The game is officially on!"

"The game is officially on!" Lin Sen also said coldly.

Lin Sen made the most basic triple threat move, looking at James from top to bottom, James vaguely felt that Lin Sen's next move was coming.

The footsteps couldn't help but push forward a little, watching the two people face off outside the three-point line, and the Cleveland audience cheered for James with their own shouts.

Lin Sen's right foot quickly poked forward, and after James glanced at Lin Sen's movements, he didn't make any adjustments.

Lin Sen withdrew his right foot, and then quickly poked out, this time he continued to reach for James's left, and at the same time leaned his upper body to James's left side, showing James a seductive shake of his shoulder.

James hesitated in the face of Lin Sen's movements, he knew Lin Sen's offensive means very well, but it was precisely because he knew that Lin Sen's movements were always changeable, and such a situation could often be a forced breakthrough or a step-back jumper.

Just when James chose to press forward, the ball passed under Lin Sen's crotch, and the ball was pulled directly with his left foot as the axis and his right hand, and suddenly leaned on the body of James, who was pressing a step, to complete the turn.

"Oh, not only did Wood not be afraid, but caught LeBron's pressing to complete the turn, and Wood broke through!" Bill. Wharton shouted.

Linson, who completed the turn, cut directly from the right side of James to the inside, but at this time James's strong body showed an innate advantage on the defensive end.

When Lin Sen turned around, the two people's bodies collided, although they lost the best defensive opportunity. But this impact still interfered with Lin Sen's dribbling rhythm.

This interference also affected the cutting speed of Lin Sen's whole person. And James seized this opportunity to slide back and move sideways to block Lin Sen again.

LeBron reacted quickly. His strong body made up for the mistake he had just been thrown off by Wood. Hoffman shouted as he watched the court, and the Cavaliers fans at the Quickloan Center immediately threw a huge cheer for James.

"Uh, Wood, you're close to making it."

Lin Sen smiled coldly and did not hit back at James, but regained his rhythm.

James took another step and put his whole body close to Lin Sen, combined with his outstretched arms, it seemed that Lin Sen had only one choice, and that was passing.

Although Linson is a point guard, Linson, as basketball experts say, is a guy with offensive blood in his bones, and will also usher in a new era of point guards.

In the face of James's defense, Lin Sen did not choose to be afraid, but chose to continue to challenge. Stan on the sidelines. Van Gundy is not in a hurry at all, which is also the prerogative of Linsen as the leader of the team.

Dropping back with his left foot, the short time gap gave him valuable space, and that's when James pressed up again.

Lin Sen did not wait passively, but kicked the ground with his right foot, and the whole person rushed towards the right side of James, without feints at all.

However, James reacted quickly, a lateral move and then a step, he was confident in his defense, since he was able to block Linson just now, then he can still this time.

James puffed out his chest again and was ready to interfere with Linson's offense with a lot of force, and he knew that Linson's speed was incomparable to his. Then the amount of force is the best choice, and the defense has just proved this.

As long as Lin Sen doesn't pass the ball. Then he even had the confidence to give Lin Sen a cover that would split his head and cover his face, and when he thought of doing it, James held his chest and stuck it up.

Bang!

The bodies of the two collided, but this time Lin Sen was already mentally prepared, but Rao was prepared Lin Sen still had an unstable center of gravity, but this time James didn't expect that the amount of force transmitted back by Lin Sen was much larger than just now, and the whole person was also unstable.

Lin Sen's left hand supported the ground in the cheers of the Cavaliers fans, it was a support of his left hand, Lin Sen took advantage of the situation to stabilize his body, and took a step out of the road again to stabilize his body at the same time, and when James was ready to defend, Lin Sen directly pulled up and shot.

In the present. Before Wallace could come up, the ball left his palm and flew to the basket.

The sound of the basketball hitting the net made James slightly disappointed, and his defense was close to success.

"Wood still stubbornly put the ball into the basket, and LeBron's defense was eventually broken down by Wood." Hoffman lamented.

"Wood's fitness has improved a lot from last season, and I heard that Lindsay has been admitted to the hospital and seems to be giving birth in the next few days, so I wonder what Wood will do, if it happens to be the All-Star Game, then David will definitely die of depression." Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

After the goal, Lin Sen did not have any celebration or any provocation, and ran directly to the backfield.

Mike. Bibby dribbled the ball to the front court and James took possession.

As soon as James caught the ball, the cheers of the quick loan center rose.

However, Artest obviously won't let them get their wish, and his muscles are no less strong than James' Artest.

James couldn't find a good offensive opportunity for a while in Artest's marking, and James looked inside.

Ben, who just joined the Cavaliers. Wallace immediately understood and ran to the top of the house, but Ben. Wallace's lack of offensive ability also keeps Howard from having to keep up defensively, which also puts pressure on James.

Face Ben. Wallace's cover Artest was powerless, Ben. Wallace successfully helped James block Artest.

And Lin Sen, who was guarding West, looked at Ben. Wallace pulled up and turned his attention to James's side, and when James accelerated to borrow Ben. When Wallace blocked Artest, Linson immediately abandoned West and rushed towards James.

James' speed was completely out of proportion to his size, like a super heavy truck rushing inside.

Facing Dwight. Howard and James took a big step and pressed the ball into the basket to the cheers of more than 20,000 people.

"LeBron gave Wood a rige, a domineering LeBron-style two-handed slam dunk." Bill. Wharton said.

Offensive and defensive transitions. Billups ran to the other side. Mike. Bibby naturally followed Billups.

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

The Cavaliers fans at the Quick Loan Center shouted slogans in unison. James turned his attention to the top and he didn't want to be scored by Linson again.

Outside the three-point line, Lin Sen did not rush to seek offense, and the basketball flew under Lin Sen's crotch.

James was not attracted by Linson's dribbling and lost his body's center of gravity, allowing the basketball to pass back and forth under Linson's crotch.

Linson corss - over more and more frequently, which makes James, who is marking him, narrow.

When the ball passed through Linson's crotch again, Linson received the ball with his left hand and slapped it to James's right, while Linson's left foot kicked the ground to accelerate.

With a single step of his right leg, James's body was stuck on his right side, and James felt the force coming from Lin Sen's body. The body retreated sharply backwards, forcibly adjusting his center of gravity.

After the screeching friction sound occurred on the floor of the Legend II and the Quick Loan Center, Lin Sen forcibly stopped his body, and instantly stood still from a high-speed sprint state.

There was a hint of panic and surprise on James' face, and at that moment, Linson's left hand on the dribble slammed down, the ball passed under the left crotch, and when the ball came to the right hand, Linson's right foot took a big step back.

The left foot was immediately withdrawn, and James watched Linson's movements and immediately pounced, because this was Linson's signature offensive step-back shot.

Even though James reacted quickly, he was a little slower to watch the basketball fly past him.

Swish!

The crisp sound of wiping the net made James depressed.

'Wood started the game with a lot of desire to attack. Could it be that he wants to give this game to a child who is not yet about to be born? "Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

The game on the court continued, and Lin Sen's role changed dramatically after two consecutive attacks in the opening game. From a scoring first place to a pure playmaker role.

"Wood is telling us that he can switch between three forms at any time, pure scorer, traditional playmaking point guard, and a combination of offense and pass!" Hoffman looked at Lin Sen on the field and said with a smile.

The first quarter of the game had come to an end, and sweat kept sliding down James's face, and in the first quarter of the game, he had to take on both the team's offensive responsibility and the task of defending Linson.

Although Lin Sen is a sophomore, his offensive ability has long been recognized by everyone, and defending Lin Sen is not an easy task.

Even if Linson hasn't made a shot for so long, James still doesn't dare to be careless, and on the offensive end, he has to face Artest, the only one who can match him in the position of small forward, not to mention that the Magic bench also sits on another defensive style, Sean. Battier.

Although his physical fitness is non-human, he has put in a lot of effort on both offensive and defensive ends, and James has significantly more physical exertion than before.

Linson passes the ball to Grant. Hill, then ran to the right forty-five degrees.

James did not let up his defense against Linson, who turned and leaned his back against James.

James, who was used to Linsen, didn't think much about it, but he didn't relax his defense against Linsen.

Suddenly, Lin Sen in front of him turned sharply, directly from the front of James to the back of him.

Lin Sen's movements didn't make James think at all, and when he reacted, Lin Sen had already thrown James away and rushed in.

The Cavaliers' interior linemen Vallejo and Big Z were also obviously unprepared in the face of the sudden Lin Sen, and moved their feet in a hurry.

And Grant, who holds the ball at the top of the arc. Hill shoved the ball straight out of the basket and it went straight to the basket.

Vallejo looked at Lin Sen who was rushing over a little overwhelmed, Lin Sen stepped on Valejo's right with his left foot, attracting Vallejo's attention to the right, and at that moment his right foot moved towards Valejo's left.

A sharp kick with his left foot threw Valejo away in an instant, and at this time, Lin Sen was only a small step away from the three-second zone, and the big z on the other side also realized what Lin Sen wanted to do, and jumped up towards the point where the ball fell, and Lin Sen also jumped on the ground.

With a height of 221 centimeters and a weight of 260 pounds, Da Z is about the same as Yao Ming, although the bounce is basically negligible like Yao Ming, but the height and weight are a huge deterrent to Lin Sen.

"Wood wants to be air-picked!" Bill. Wharton shouted.

Lin Sen's arm stretched as straight as he could, and the basketball began to fall after an arc in the air, and the landing point was above Lin Sen.

Although Big Z also jumped, it still allowed Lin Sen, who had an absolute advantage in bounce, to catch the basketball in the air first.

Boom!

Lin Sen and Da Z collided together, Lin Sen obviously felt that he was almost knocked away, and his left hand subconsciously pressed Da Z to re-stabilize his body.

And Big Z's body began to fall, Big Z's arms were still held high, and his height was like erecting a wall between Lin Sen and the basket.

The Cavaliers fans at the Quick Loan Center turned up their voices to the maximum decibel level to cheer on Big Z.

But the falling big Z was just the last struggle, roared, and smashed the ball to the basket with his right hand.

Syllable!

Lin Sen's right hand grabbed the basket and was thrown to the floor.

Boom!

With a hard slam between his butt and the floor, Lin Sen turned over and faced the floor, holding the floor with his fists and doing push-ups amid the boos of the audience.

"Wood, Wood, an unbelievable scene, 221's Igoskas became the perfect backdrop for Wood, domineering dunks, impactful dunks, is Wood warming up for his own slam dunk contest?" Bill. Wharton's eyes were full of disbelief.

This dunk made the Magic period soar, and James glanced at Lin Sen and asked for the ball directly.

Vallejo sent the ball directly to James, and just as Artest was about to press it, James rushed straight to Linson with the ball.

In the face of James's initiative, Artest thought that it was too late to defend himself, so Lin Sen signaled Artest to hand over James to Lin Sen.

"LeBron found Wood directly, and it is obvious that LeBron wants to get back face for Big Z, and even more so for the team, but defense is not Wood's strong point, let alone defending LeBron."

"Not necessarily, Wood's defense is underrated, more precisely because of his habitual gambling on steals and last season's defense, which Wood has actually done very well defensively this season." Bill. Wharton continued. (To be continued......)
