Under the deliberate command of the head coaches of both sides, the game between the two teams fell into a tough defensive battle in the first quarter.

Xiao Mo controlled the ball to the front court, and the Warriors stepped forward to start a man-to-man pressing, seeing this Xiao Mo facing Iverson sideways, he pushed forward with a hard amount against him. Iverson dodged away, Xiao Mo broke through and shot, West switched defenses, almost blocked his ball, bang, hit iron.

Iverson struck the Cavaliers box with the ball like lightning, and Big Ben dodged quickly, stretching his arms to envelop him. The answer was fearless, and he singled out Big Ben for a layup, only to be chased by LeBron from behind, snapped, and a big hat.

West picked up the ball from the back and made a quick layup, the ball spun around and flew out, Big Ben and Vallejo jammed Chamberlain, and James picked up the rebound.

The Cavaliers made a quick counterattack, James held the ball and made a layup, the strong momentum was terrifying, and he put away the ball and launched a three-step layup when he entered the free throw area, Chamberlain killed from behind, James raised the ball above his head, Chamberlain slapped it up, and gave a big hat mercilessly.

Switching offense and defense, Iverson dribbled under his crotch two times in a row, his body swayed from side to side, Xiao Mo was dizzy, and then pulled out his leg to break through the ball and gave it to Chamberlain, who turned around and leaned on Vallejo after holding the ball, and stomped on the floor with both feet to jump, but Vallejo screamed and flew out as if he had been hit by a truck......

Toot toot, offensive foul, Chamberlain rolled his eyelids in anger, this is obviously a fake fall! Vallejo had a treacherous smug smile on his face, attacked Chamberlain again and still hit the basket, and he screamed again and flew out.

Dudu, the referee looked impatient and faked a fall! This time it was Chamberlain's turn to laugh wickedly, and Vallejo wept sadly.

At the end of the first quarter, the two attacking teams actually played 18-17 data, and many fans who came purely to watch the excitement were drowsy, and although there were many offenses, the shooting rate was too low. But the roar in the Oracle Arena was still like thunder and lightning, and there were more real fans watching the game, and the defensive intensity of the two teams lifted their spirits, as Barkley said:

"It's a true belief that defense wins championships, man, and today's game should be a wake-up call to other teams, the Warriors and Cavaliers have gone to the top level in defense, and I bet this year's championship will come between those two teams."

Smith was in high spirits when he heard the bet, he looked at Barkley with a smirk, and asked, "What are you betting on, Charles?" Remember, you're going to have a second wedding this year, and I've got you covered with the she-donkey. ”

Barkley's fat face suddenly drooped, my mother, why haven't these bastards forgotten that bet? In fact, how many fans are now waiting for the day when Barkley and the she-donkey get married, ESPN has already begun to prepare for this show, which makes Barkley break out in a cold sweat every time he thinks about it.

Barkley had to admit that he had lost his eyes again, obviously Chamberlain was a jumping man, and he should be similar to Sean Kemp's goods who would only rely on physical fitness to play, but why did he develop so many offensive skills? This kid is growing up too fast!

NBA statistics show that 76% of Chamberlain's points last season were obtained by dunks, and this season this time this figure has dropped to 38%, which is exactly half, and the most points he has scored are hooks, his small hooks under the basket are full of threat, reaching 42%, followed by mid-range shots and free throws.

In other words, Chamberlain is no longer an attacking roughman, he has become a master of attacking.

Barkley is a pure man, and although he is a very low-mouthed man, he is the kind of person who will act on his promises, so he will not quibble and deny his failure. But this time he plans to drag Smith into the water and simply gamble again, of course, he may also lose, but what does it matter? If there are too many lice, they won't bite.

"So let's bet, man, I'm betting on the Cavaliers or the Warriors for the championship this season, what about you?" Barkley looked at Smith in embarrassment.

Smith has obviously studied this problem, and he did not hesitate to bet: "I bet on the Spurs or the Lakers, and whoever is the champion of the West will be the champion of the two of them!" By the way, what's the stake? ”

Smith's opinion is more reliable, and it also represents the opinion of mainstream experts, the Warriors and Cavaliers are indeed powerful, but the core of the former is too young, and experts believe that Chamberlain is unreliable at critical moments; And James lacks the domineering spirit of leading troops to fight in the playoffs, and he is even more unreliable at critical moments.

The Lakers are different, they have a stronger lineup, and Kobe Bryant is more convincing when it matters - Kobe may have a lower shooting percentage, and once stubborn, he would rather play iron than pass, but when it matters most, the team needs superstars to do this, not pass the ball as often as James did. In the key battle, James has a higher probability of winning than Kobe, but fans and experts prefer to be optimistic about Kobe, and the latter's courage to break through the kettle is all the courage of the boss of a championship team.

Although the Spurs have played poorly this season, the law of winning championships in odd-numbered years is there, and the Spurs are famous for their penchant for playing in the second half of the season, and fans have concluded that there is a law in the West, that is, 'the Rockets look strong, the Mavericks look old, and the Spurs look weak', but the truth is the opposite after each season.

Smith quickly dialed his little abacus, and then stared at Barkley waiting for his bet.

Barkley sneered, "If I lose, then I will continue to marry a donkey, and if I win, then how about we cancel the last bet?" ”

Fans in front of the TV raised their middle fingers, and many called ESPN's service department directly: "Can't cancel, we're going to see Barkley's wedding!" Chamberlain is going to be the main marriage! ”

Without ESPN, Smith himself disagreed, he said firmly: "Don't dream, Charles, you are definitely going to marry a donkey, now all you can do is think about what love words you say to the bride at the wedding, so, I don't agree with this bet." Also, you said to ask me to make a bet, and I will ask for your bet myself. ”

Barkley was helpless, and he could only say: "If you lose, then you will be the bridesmaid of that female donkey, how about it?" ”

Smith gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's it!" ”

I'm not going to lose, Smith said secretly, the Lakers or the Spurs must be the championship this season.

Barkley looked at the Warriors and Cavaliers players on the court with a sad face, now it seems that these two teams really don't have the bloodline to win the championship, their defense is very good, but the offense is too bad, right?

Old Nelson also has this dissatisfaction, his mother's group of boys are too bastards, let them play defensive battles and not not attack, only scored 18 points in one quarter, this is not scientific.

Brown on the Cavaliers' side feels even more unscientific, they are averaging 11 points per game this season, and the first quarter has always been the highest scorer, and now there are only 17 in the account, and it seems that it is good to score 70 points in the whole game, this is the rhythm to die?

Both sides invariably put their starting lineups, and both coaches treated the second quarter as their main battlefield, and they wanted to grab the second quarter.

The Cavaliers' offense was resolute, and the little emperor took possession of the ball as soon as he passed the half, and then directed his teammates to run. Jackson followed him closely, West was eyeing him on the wing, the Warriors were on a 1-4 defense, the outside players were staring at the ball but not men, constantly changing defenses, and there were always two people waiting for James.

In the face of the two defenses, James showed a cruel smile on his face: "Since you want to wrap me, it is too difficult to use these two people, so let's have something more cool, Z, you should come!" With that, James broke through from the right wing with the ball and then pulled horizontally to the bottom line, launching a strong attack from the bottom line to the penalty area.

Jackson followed him closely, and after reaching the bottom line, James shouted uncharacteristically, and then his strong body stepped forward, and his right hand slapped the ball like a strong man to death, and rushed forward impassionedly.

Jackson gritted his teeth against him, James was too strong, he had to do his best, but James in the breakthrough suddenly stopped, and Jackson also stopped. But James leaned his back against him and turned abruptly, and then suddenly accelerated, relying on the reaction force from Jackson's chest and his own strong explosive force, he shook off Jackson in an instant, and rushed to the basket like an arrow.

"Go back!" Chamberlain really came up to the defense, his eyes seemed to be beating with fire, and his eyes were murderous. But James didn't care, watching Chamberlain rush up, he put away the ball and strode towards him, lifted the ball above his head at the moment he approached Chamberlain, and then jumped forward, trampled the floor with both feet, and suddenly disappeared in front of Chamberlain with a strange flash of his body, and then, as if he had become a passenger plane, he began to take off with a roar.

Flying in the air, James avoided Chamberlain, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised his arms high while opening his arms, his body was almost parallel to the ground, as if the Roc spread his wings, at the moment of falling, his eyes glared at the hoop, his arm slashed down to the basket, and the basketball was slammed into the basket with a bang.

"Wow!" Thunderous cries suddenly sounded in the Oracle Center court, and in an instant, the adrenaline of the fans spread to their whole bodies, and they stood up and let out all kinds of roars, which were not voluntary, it was the adrenaline that dominated their cranial nerves, so that they had to vent their shock in this way.

James looked back at Chamberlain coldly after landing on the ground, and the latter laughed and said, "Interesting, LeBron's eyes are very interesting, is he trying to kill me?" Well, since you've provoked me, I'll have to fight back! ”

Brown applauded and beckoned off the field, and as soon as Chamberlain entered the box, he shouted: "Boys, go, go, go, wrap that guy!" ”

Iverson got to the three-point line and passed the ball to Chamberlain, who was caught between Ben Wallace and Big Z.

Everyone thought that Chamberlain was going to knock over Big Z and Big Ben with a powerful dunk, and the best choice for encountering the bag was to pass the ball to an empty teammate, but everyone knew that James's dunk just now was the horn of the Cavaliers' attack, as the boss of the Warriors, Chamberlain must react, if he passes the ball at this time, even if the ball is scored, it will be a blow to the team's morale.

Chamberlain had to choose a violent dunk, this was everyone's idea, and Big Ben and Big Z also thought of it, so the two began to wrap up Chamberlain before he had the ball, trying not to give him a chance to hold the ball.

Of course, it is impossible to limit a person of Chamberlain's level from not even getting the ball, Chamberlain jumped up to receive the ball, and after landing, Big Ben and Big Z desperately narrowed the defense under the basket to limit him. However, Chamberlain did not force or strike, but found a gap and burrowed out like a swimming fish.

"Shit!" Big Ben scolded, "You coward, don't you dare to come in and fight?" ”

Chamberlain smiled coldly, he withdrew directly from the penalty area, Big Z didn't dare to let him go, this kid was very accurate, so he left the penalty area to force defense.

Looking at the big Z in front of him and the big Ben who was eyeing him from the side, Chamberlain slapped the ball easily, and his body slowly swam along the arc of the penalty area. It seems that the defense of Big Ben and Big Z blocked his way, and he kept cruising for seven or eight seconds, and Chamberlain did not attack, and the Cavaliers fans cheered when they saw this scene.

Chamberlain still sneered, his eyes on the timer on the rebound, there were five seconds left on the offensive time, well, the time was up.

Just when Big Z and Big Ben were about to come up and press him to grab the ball, Chamberlain suddenly moved, the frequency of his shooting suddenly increased, and Big Z's heart suddenly lifted, and then he saw Chamberlain leaning forward on the other side.

Big Z's subconscious hind legs, but Chamberlain's footsteps did not move, so that a little distance was opened between the two, and Big Z's center of gravity also changed. This distance was the buffer that Chamberlain needed to sprint, and this time he really picked up speed and rushed to Big Z's side in one step.

Big Z's defensive experience has been obtained, and he knows that since his center of gravity has changed, if the opponent accelerates again, he may not be able to keep up, so he immediately changes his actions and conducts close defense.

Seeing Big Z stride forward, Chamberlain smiled again, the muscles of his legs suddenly tightened as hard as granite, and the wild force emerged from every mitochondria to support the explosion of his legs, Chamberlain's first step was still very slow, but when he reached the second step, it was like lightning, no one could see how he pulled his legs forward, but Big Z felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the person was gone.

This damn explosiveness! Big Z is devastated.
