Chapter 261: The King? Satan's toys are just that!
There was also a commotion at the scene.
Although theoretically James and Xu Yong's positions on the court are the same, but in the past games, James will not take the initiative to match Xu Yong unless he is passive, and tonight the sun is really coming out in the west.
Without waiting for his teammates to completely clear the strong side, Xu Yong had already launched an attack, and he directly swept James clean with a sideways drag step.
James' first defense is based on statistics and Nike, and the results of his actual defensive play on the court are mediocre.
In the years when he was selected for the first team, his opponents in the playoffs basically ushered in a small explosion: Jamison in '06 could score 32+9, and Jamison averaged 20.9 points per game in the regular season that year;
In 07, he defended Parker and defended an FMVP; In '08 he scored 45 points, opposite Pierce 41 points.
The most well-known 09 did not dare to play against Tekoglu, and as a result, Petrus was defended as "French Pippen", and the latter was almost sent to the [180 Club];
and Xu Yong's experience but reality did not happen in the 2011 Finals to play the Mavericks, that year James was considered the strongest in his career, and was passed by Terry and Kidd in one step to become a famous scene;
In addition, in history, the Pacer George also typed the famous sentence "Who is the Mamba Wind Bone, General Yin Cheng Qiao] and so on.
This is determined by two factors.
On the one hand, there is defensive talent.
Defense also depends on talent, and the reason why Leonard's defense is so strong is based on his excellent lateral movement, arm span and big hands, among which lateral movement is the most critical, and he is equivalent to the "dynamic talent" in defense.
James has the ability to top the No. 4 position in the low post as a heavy forward, but his lateral movement ability is relatively average, coupled with his poor physical coordination, the whole movement is indeed like a crab as the fans ridiculed.
The other aspect is defensive skills.
Defensive skills can only be sharpened and accumulated in actual combat, because everyone's body is different, just like James went to Olajuwon to learn footsteps and almost smashed the latter's signboard, you let him learn the puppy's footwork for fear that he will be lonely in the end.
When a player doesn't have to defend from the beginning of his career, or even is protected by the coach on the defensive end as the chosen one, his defensive skills can't be at a very high level.
Because it passed too quickly, the rest of the Cavaliers hadn't reacted yet, and Xu Yong had already rushed inside to finish with a one-handed dunk.
The United Center boiled instantly, and this was really a step by.
The home photographer also understands it, and gave the footage of the Cavaliers bench to the sidelines for the first time.
Lu opened his mouth wide at this time, and his expression was .jpg dull.
Obviously, he didn't have the power to let James defend against Xu Yong.
The camera then gave James on the field.
James was heading to the baseline to get ready to receive the ball, and there was no emotional change on his face.
"I bet you'll defend me for two rounds at most." But just as he walked to the bottom line, Xu Yong, who had landed, turned back to him and said.
After watching the video, Xu Yong will naturally find a way to get James's mentality.
However, there was still no change in the mood on James' face.
Xu Yong was a little surprised, watching the video, he could only see that James's mentality was relatively stable, but James didn't react to this kind of trash talk, could it be that he beat James last time and scared the other party?
James held the ball in the frontcourt, and Davis played a block and split the ball to assist Irving to score a pull-up rebound after cutting.
Xu Yong arrived in the front court and saw that James was still defending himself, and continued to ask for the ball outside the three-point line.
Then, this time, it was a breakthrough that changed backwards in a continuous sideways drag step.
James' center of gravity has swung this time, indicating that the ball in front of him is not undefensive, but a mistake in defensive judgment.
This time he didn't misjudge again, but it still couldn't change the result, Xu Yong seized the moment when his center of gravity swayed, and the explosive first step wiped him over again, and then went straight into the penalty area.
Although the posture is slightly different, what is the same is that the fans at the scene climaxed again.
What is crossing you is like crossing the road in the early morning.
However, James did not give up on this ball, he chased hard from behind, jumped up at the right time, and prepared to send a pegboard hat.
That's the signature scene where he gives people a great defense.
It's a pity that Xu Yong has already noticed him, because Adams's ball stuck Davis, Xu Yong's front is very empty, and he directly changes hands with a lever in the air, and switches to the basket score after gliding with his left hand.
James gave a high-five to the air in the joint center with his right hand.
The cheers at the scene boiled.
Xu Yong is simply playing James.
"It's been two rounds." After Xu Yong landed, he turned back and continued to remind James.
James's face still didn't change much.
This made Xu Yong realize that James's current mentality, trash talk alone doesn't seem to work.
The Cavaliers broke through with Irving with the ball, and Davis blocked and returned the ball to Davis' close-range throw to score.
After they ran in, they played really well on the offensive end.
Xu Yong went to the front court and found that Lu was waving on the sidelines at this time, and James and Love switched defenses.
Ask a Smart how meticulous his basketball operation can be, James has completely figured it out since the last time he communicated with Windhorst, and there is no future in the East, so in order to make a good impression on the new club, he naturally wants to show his [change].
This is also the reason why he took the initiative to prevent Xu Yong at the beginning, it doesn't matter if he can prevent it or not, the posture is released first.
After a few rounds of bad results, if you change to someone else, others will say: Look, this coach's opening arrangement is wrong.
Xu Yong frowned, this is really over thirty years old, and he comes at most twice a night?
He continued to hold the ball, then motioned for Anderson to block and send James to him.
James had a successful opening to pique his interest, and he wasn't going to stop there.
And messing up James' mentality is to hold the Cavaliers' life, which is the easiest way to win.
After waiting for the matchup, he noticed that the Cavaliers' weak side had an advance defense, and this time he didn't drag his steps again, but leaned down, dribbled with his left and right hands alternately, suddenly accelerated explosively, and then did not slow down and changed to the following stop-and-go jump shot.
This change of direction is very large, James's eyes are not keeping up with his feet, and in the field of vision of fans, Xu Yong has changed to the right side, and James is still facing the left.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound of entering the net, Xu Yong's jump shot was also accurate into the basket.
But that's not the point, the point is that after Xu Yong hit this shot, he suddenly bent down, stretched out his right hand parallel to the floor, leaned down and pressed down, and made a "too small" action .jpg.
This instantly sent the United Center into a frenzy.
Trash talk is more often between the players, with the most front-row spectators hearing some.
But this kind of action can be seen by the whole audience, even the fans watching the live broadcast.
It didn't take more than three days, Xu Yong scored in front of James for three rounds in a row, and then with this kind of action, he rode his face directly.
Obviously, he is not just about scoring in front of James at this time, but also about adding some fierce material.
This sudden addition really worked, and James's face changed instantly.
But looking back, James still continued to play the organization, and then split the ball outside Lefou, but unfortunately Lefu hadn't touched the ball at the beginning, and the three-point shot in the bottom corner was missed.
Xu Yong admired James's mentality a little at this time.
He rode his face, and James didn't even respond, was he really scared?
If this is changed, Xu Yong will feel a little boring, after all, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she lies there motionless, and you can't be interested.
But after the regular season experience, he was interested and didn't want to move, so he took out a small leather whip and whipped it until you screamed in pain.
The Bulls advanced to the frontcourt, and Butler organized a wave, but Anderson's three-point shot from the outside didn't go in.
The Bulls opened with Xu Yong playing, and the others didn't feel up, but Adams showed his characteristics, successfully picked up the offensive rebound, and then threw his hand to Xu Yong on the outside, and also took the initiative to block up.
Xu Yong motioned for him to go back, and then motioned for Anderson to continue to send James to him.
James was obviously a little resistant at this time, but after Anderson blocked it, he dismantled the inside line, and after Lefu was forced to follow inside, James still came to Xu Yong.
The cheers of the fans at the scene have already sounded in advance.
This scene is most reminiscent of Antetokounmpo's experience after he provoked Xu Yong when the Bulls played the Raptors in the last round.
Xu Yong directly beat Antetokounmpo nine in the first half, and the latter directly doubted life.
Then, after Xu Yong's triple threat fall kick was activated, James was shaken over without any surprise.
It turns out that James has basically no way to take the current Xu Yong on the defensive end.
Fortunately, this time, Davis squeezed past Adams to help defend in front of Xu Yong.
It's just that after gaining weight and muscle, his movement rate has declined compared to last season, and when he raised his hand, Xu Yong was already in the air.
"Bang!"
A sideways one-handed dunk, Xu Yong pressed the basketball directly into the basket through Davis.
After landing on the ground, Xu Yong was also quite excited, and directly shook his fist and roared.
The United Center completely fried the pot, they just saw that Xu Yong felt good outside the three-point line before the game, but they never expected Xu Yong to play so explosively at the beginning.
'Your first line of defence can't let him burst into the box so easily. On the commentary bench, ESPN's ace commentator Mike Brin couldn't help but sigh.
He has spoken more politely, but the actual situation is that James can't even delay Xu Yong a little so that his teammates can help defend in place.
Before Bryn's words fell, the famous scene came.
When Xu Yong walked to the backcourt, he made another move to James who was walking to the bottom line of the backcourt, he first stretched out his index finger to compare a "1", and then stretched out his middle finger ring finger and little finger in turn, from 1 to 4.
This action, in its most direct and simple sense, is that he has hit James four balls in a row.
Of course, it's not impossible for you to interpret it as four championships.
But no matter what it is, Xu Yong gave another punch after riding his face, transforming the physical attack of the regular season into a mental attack, and came at James again.
James' breathing quickened a little, and he took out his braces and chewed hard to relieve the pressure.
Then in the next round, he held back on the weak side, and Irving singled out Dravendova to get a free throw opportunity for a foul inside.
Xu Yong really served James now, and in the second half of the season, James didn't study his skills, but he really cultivated his mentality into a turtle.
Irving hit both free throws, and the score on the court came to 6-8, and the Cavaliers still clung to the score.
Xu Yong arrived in the front court, and when he wanted to ask for the ball, the Cavaliers began to attack him in advance.
He went from having the ball to not having the ball, borrowing Adams' cover pocket to catch the ball and shoot in the right elbow area, then turned and jumped up and down.
This ball James just came over to help defend and jumped up to interfere with Xu Yong.
"Huh!"
Xu Yong only then showed his touch in the opening warm-up, hitting against James's defense.
From the opening to the present, he has scored 5 goals in a row on James!
At this time, the fans began to cheer, and they were no longer willing to just cheer there.
"More than one, more than two, more than three, more than four, more than five!"
I don't know who started it, but the fans began to count in unison.
Mike Brin, who was originally in the commentary seat, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
In terms of the James mentality, the Chicagoans who gave empty magnesium powder bottles back then have always been quite level.
Xu Yong also smiled knowingly, a scene that looked like the scene he had seen in his last life when an away fan counted Antetokounmpo's free throws.
If there was anything more lethal than the moves he had done before, it would be this.
Looking at James's face now, it has obviously tightened, if it weren't for the color of his skin, he must have a black face.
It's 2016, and you're still playing the 2010 meme!
But after they all arrived in the front court, James didn't even play, and he performed a wave of turtles called the 80,000-year-old king of the millennium, which is a real turtle.
But Love opened up in the bottom corner, and he received a pass from Davis and hit a three-pointer to close the score to 9-10.
The opening performance of the Cavaliers was that the other Big Three dragged James forward.
Xu Yong continued to run without the ball in the frontcourt.
The rest of the Bulls were all making him balls.
No one will give up on creating an opportunity for a person who made all five shots in the opening game, and that person is also called Xu Yong,
However, the Cavaliers also chased and intercepted Xu Yongwei, and when Xu Yong received the ball through cover, there were already three people coming towards him.
Then Xu Yong rushed into the inside line before closing the encirclement and dunked in a flying body.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly came out of the oblique side, directly towards the ball cover in Xu Yong's hand.
It's James!
Of course, James can't be a real turtle, he is just trying to restrain himself, but with the shouts of the audience before, he is already on the verge of exploding, and now he is finally wearing a chance.
His hand was about to touch the ball, but Xu Yong's dunk action suddenly accelerated.
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
James' thumb nail was only 0.01 centimeters and a basketball, but by a fraction of a second, Xu Yong smashed the ball into the basket, and his hand hit Xu Yong's arm.
The referee's whistle blew immediately, and the ball was a 2+1!
And Xu Yong's current core strength is too terrifying, he and James didn't move at all after the confrontation in the air, but James was knocked away in the air.
The United Center exploded, and the fans without the ball began to get up and cheer.
Xu Yong and James have a lot of matchups, but the last time this kind of shut-off scene was back in the opening game of the rookie season.
This time they didn't count again, but they let out a more lethal cry.
That's right, it's late.
“Who is your daddy!”
Need "more than seven"?
No, it doesn't need to, after completing this dunk and scoring the sixth goal in a row, the fans' G-spot has been stimulated to the top.
The King of Cleveland? Satan's toys are just that!
James stood there, panting and shivering.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu quickly called a timeout.
It was at this time that the camera caught James kicking the bench closest to the technical table when he left the game, startling the rest of the team.
I didn't know that I thought it was because my teammates performed too poorly, which caused the king to go crazy.
After the timeout, James went off the court to rest, and the Cavaliers gradually fell into the disadvantage.
It's not because James is not there and the Cavaliers don't play well, but Xu Yong's opening part completely raises his state.
No matter how the Cavaliers defend, Xu Yong can either score or kill after receiving the ball, and there is always a way to put the ball into the basket.
At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 31-45.
Just looking at this score is not enough to describe the excitement of this quarter of the game, because Xu Yong shot 12 of 15 in the first quarter, 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus 8 of 8 free throws, and scored 34 points in a single quarter!
In NBA history, this record can be ranked second, behind Klay Thompson's all-time best of 37 points.
"Even God can't stop Xu from putting the ball in the basket." This kind of performance made Brin bow down directly in the commentary box.
Although Thompson is higher in terms of scores, you must know that Thompson's 13 shots, 9 of 9 three-pointers, which can basically be equivalent to Maddy's 35 seconds and 13 minutes, is a very small probability of chance and non-repeatability.
But Xu Yong's direct feeling after this game is that if you give him a chance, he may really give you another chance.
Of course, the price is that Xu Yong sat down for a while after the game to calm down.
There is indeed an obvious watershed after James is off the court, that is, the people on the Cavaliers are more desperate to defend him, and he has to fight with people if he wants to get a chance to make a shot.
Thanks to his immunity to injuries and illness, and the fact that he has developed a steely body with Grover, otherwise he really can't stand it like that.
So don't talk about who scores explosiveness and how many points they can score, the difficulty of scoring before and after a game is not the same at all.
Thibodeau deliberately waited for Xu Yong for a while at this time, more precisely, the whole Bulls team was looking at Xu Yong.
The shock that Xu Yong brought to them in this quarter of the game was even more shocking than the previous 69 points in a single game.
Xu Yong got up after recovering his strength, and Thibodeau began to lay out his tactics.
As soon as the tactics were laid out, it was time for the intersessional break.
Xu Yong turned his head to look at the Cavaliers' half at this time, and saw that James really came off the bench in the second quarter.
At this time, he didn't have the physical strength to play, and the Bulls are not playing well off the bench now, don't look at the Bulls' 14-point lead, but the Cavaliers are not in bad shape tonight, and James is good at staggered travel, and it is not impossible to be caught up in a short period of time.
He pulled Stephenson to his side and whispered a few words to him.
Stephenson nodded delightedly.
The second quarter will start immediately, and the two sides will be on the court, Bulls: Stephenson, Holiday , Butler, West, Jokic;
Cavaliers: Mo Williams, Shampert, James, Fry, Tristan Thompson.
Xu Yong also sat on the sidelines to rest at this time.
"Boss, what did you just say to Lance?" Anderson was full of curiosity, and Stephenson was excited, and he didn't know that he thought he had heard some kind of meat joke.
"Nothing, just let him play to his own characteristics." Xu Yong said lightly.
Anderson couldn't help but scratch his head when he heard this, what is there to be excited about?
On the court, the Cavaliers' offense came up, James and Frye blocked and broke West, and scored on the board after jumping.
This season, all kinds of moves have been blown down, which has forced James to develop some steps.
is still the same sentence, if it weren't for the favor at the beginning, with James' physical condition and basketball IQ, it would not be a big problem to enter the top ten in history.
In retrospect, Butler immediately used almost the same style of play, and West blocked and then went inside to make Thompson's foul and get two free throws.
But right away, James used his breakthrough to attract a pinch shot, and the ball was distributed to Frye at the top of the arc, who made a three-point shot.
The Cavaliers' current roster is obviously not as strong as it was in the starting lineup, but these functional players are a perfect match for James' technical characteristics, and this counterplay allows him to play to his strength.
And in the next round, James blocked Butler's offense, the Cavaliers played a fast break, James and Williams played a match, and the fast dunk after receiving the ball scored.
After a while, the Cavaliers went on a 7-2 run to narrow the margin to single digits.
Xu Yong's worries are not unfounded.
It was at this point that Butler fed the ball to Stephenson and then played on the weak side.
Although he didn't attack much in the first quarter, he was consumed on the defensive end, and he also played the first quarter full, and his physical strength was not enough to support him to continue to play the main offense.
Stephenson was happy the moment he got the ball, and he was also a serious ball-handling player who had to have the ball in his hands to play.
He directly motioned to pull away and want to play singles.
It was a bit of a reckless choice, but it wasn't a problem, as the Cavaliers had four players on the court, and only Mo Williams was weak defensively.
Then, Xu Yong's [Stephenson] was launched, and his dribbling rhythm was really like jumping on the ground, and even Williams was overwhelmed by him.
At this moment, he suddenly changed direction, and the whole person passed Williams directly like a fierce man.
Thompson showed his ability to help defend quickly.
Stephenson didn't have time to brake and collided with Thompson, but miraculously, before the collision occurred, he sent the ball to Jokic at the bottom of the basket with a quick thrust, and the man flew out.
The referees didn't blow the whistle, and Jokic scored two points comfortably under the basket.
After lying on the ground and watching Jokic score, Stephenson didn't need his teammates to pull him, he directly "poofed" a fierce man and bounced off the ground again.
His style of painting is really incompatible with the Bulls, but in this headwind, his every move seems to bring endless motivation to those around him.
Anderson turned his head to look at Xu Yong in surprise, he still didn't understand what Xu Yong said to Stephenson, at least it was certainly not what Xu Yong said.
Xu Yong: You have wronged me, but I am telling the truth.
Some players need to use rules and rules to restrain him and prevent him from becoming a wild horse; But what some players need is freedom and release their nature.
The former is a player that coaches love to use, and most players, while the latter is an alternative, and Stephenson is one of them.
James' breakthrough was pushed down by Butler, and Jokic quickly picked up the defensive rebound, and while turning and holding it high, he threw it straight forward.
Stephenson jumped and jumped forward, and Shampert was chasing after him with exhaust fumes.
Jokic's passing was too fast and accurate, and the key was that Stephenson was a thief of speed.
The cheers were already ringing on, and Stephenson quickly raced to the frontcourt, glanced back, and then jumped up for a two-handed dunk.
Xu Yong's eyelids jumped when he saw this, he was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that Stephenson would be blocked by the basket or something at such a time.
Fortunately, his worries were unfounded, and Stephenson smashed the ball into the basket with both hands, swung around the basket and landed on it, already excitedly playing air guitar there to celebrate.
"Lance ~ Stephenson!"
When the home JD shouted Stephenson's name in a lengthened tone, the United Center, which had been slightly sluggish because of the counterattack climax, suddenly fell into a boiling again.
Only this time they were not because of Xu Yong, but because of the player who played in the Clippers and was once thought to be disappearing from the NBA.
38 to 51.
After this wave of small climaxes, the Bulls temporarily stabilized the situation on the court.
The Cavaliers' offense, James sensed Butler's entanglement and gave the ball to Williams, who used the pick-and-roll mid-range jumper.
Stephenson was a little overexcited about this ball, and he pounced directly on it and was whistled for a defensive foul.
He jumped with his hands crossed, but that's what the coach had to live with.
Fortunately, Thibodeau only frowned slightly, and did not mean to ask him to replace him.
Williams' two free throws.
When making free throws, each team should stand on both sides, with two for the attacker and three for the defender.
The defense is usually inside and small forward, and Stephenson suddenly thought of something, he pulled Butler and said a few words, and then when it was time for the free throw, he stood next to James in Butler's place.
James turned his head to see him, first confused, then frowned, and finally turned back to ignore him.
It's clear that he's not interested in players like Stephenson.
Williams hit the first free throw, followed by the second.
At this time, the players of both sides are lying on their stomachs and ready to compete for this frontcourt rebound.
At this moment, Stephenson and James were stuck for a while, and after feeling that there was no advantage, he turned his head to James's ear and blew softly.gif
Xu Yong had just drunk some energy drinks at this time, and he almost choked himself when he saw this scene.
appeared, the first Zhan blow!
