Chapter 57: In the Name of the Law

Paul Silas took a fair approach to the two young talents.

It is to let Sushi hold the ball for 5 minutes first, and then hand over the tactical power to LeBron James.

Although this made James very unhappy, he thought deep down that Suhi could not be compared to him at any time, and could not share the ball with him. The power he has should be ceded to him himself: I can give it to you, but you can't rob it.

However, a lot has changed.

Suhi has built trust in the team in so many games in the past. He scored a quadruple-double in the first game and led the team to a comeback victory. Then when James and Davis were fighting, he was playing quietly with his teammates.

When James was ejected and suspended, he was improving his chemistry with his teammates.

Suhi has already established good chemistry with most of his teammates.

James couldn't stop Sushi from taking possession of the ball.

Suhi played very well in the first five minutes of the opening game, leading the team to a-for-tat battle with the Pacers.

When Suhi went off the court at the sixth half-minute, the Cavaliers led by three points at 15-12.

Subsequently, the Cavaliers went into LeBron mode.

James was in a frenzied battle with Ron Artest tonight, except for Ron Artest's anger when he said he was three notches worse defensively than Suhey. Ron Artest also stole him directly once, and threatened Suhey: Jack, my steal statistics are exactly the same as yours.

This made the Chosen One angry from the bottom of his heart.

Ron Artest is so childish!

Actually used the king as a prop for him and Su Xibi to fight?

James tried to get the ball from Suhey and went straight to the single.

But after Su Xi gave him once, he didn't continue to give it to him, but told him: "You have missed too many opportunities." ”

James hated itching teeth.

What do I mean by doing a lot of chances?

The whole knight is mine, and the last Ricky Davis, who tried to usurp the throne, was banished, do you want to follow in his footsteps?

Suhee fought according to his plan.

The Pacers didn't have a good hand tonight, and the Eastern Conference powerhouse relied heavily on jump shots.

Moreover, tonight they failed to form an effective combo on Suhi's onslaught ... Because they have to focus on James.

After Suhey was gone, James finally became pro-government.

He continued Suhey's style of play, and he played very well. He is also willing to pass the ball and unite his teammates.

Boozer felt ridiculously good tonight, and he even extended his range beyond the three-point line. This poses a huge challenge to O'Neal Jr.'s defence.

Ilgoskas stood like a huge mountain on the edge of the box, and his projection left Foster powerless.

Larry Bird was sitting on the sidelines, and he was planning something far away. His eyebrows furrowed: If our inside line can't do anything about Ilgoskas, then it will be even more difficult to deal with Yao Ming. What if it's Shaq O'Neill? If we make it to the finals, how will Shaq O'Neal deal with it?

In fact, Big Bird Bird did the deployment, and he traded Brad Miller for Scott Pollard with the Kings. Brad Miller was already a would-be All-Star before the trade, and Scott Pollard was good for nothing but changing his bizarre hairstyle and beard shape every once in a while. Why did Bird make this trade?

Because Scott Pollard played an important role in the '02 Western Conference Finals. It's the Western Conference showdown that Kings fans still haunt, and they say that if the referees don't show obvious favor, the Kings could have made it out of the Western Conference championship series. The Lakers escaped in Game 6 due to the referee's penalty issue and took out the Kings in Game 7... A big reason for this was that Scott Pollard left the game early with six fouls in Game 7.

He's a professional guy who does the dirty work.

While it's unrealistic to expect him to defend O'Neal, his ferocious smoking, fouls, deadly spots, and scramble for rolling the ball are all reasons why the Pacers are willing to pay a quasi-All-Star.

However, when he arrived in Indiana, his performance was mediocre, and he had not yet found the key to fit with the team.

God knows if he will be able to find it.

Another problem for the Pacers: too much reliance on jump shots and lack of impact.

But this problem, Larry Bird is confident to solve, and the answer lies in Cleveland.

The race continues to move forward like this.

The first quarter was played quickly.

The two sides played 23:24.

The Cavaliers lead by 1 point.

Playing against the Pacers, you've got to be prepared to score only seventy or eighty points in the game. They aren't very proficient in attacking, but you don't want to be proficient in attacking in front of them.

The second quarter continued, and Sushi remained on the bench to rest.

He said to Carlos Boozer, who was substituted: "Tonight has to be won, no matter what. ”

Boozer initially thought Suhi was encouraging morale normally. But when he saw Su Xi's extremely serious eyes, he realized that Su Xi was not just talking.

But can they beat the Pacers? They're number one in the East. They just took a nap in the first quarter of the game, and when they got serious, we couldn't stop it.

And... Jack, why do you have such a big obsession to beat the Pacers?

During the long and arduous regular season, it is impossible for every opponent to give it their all, so many times, teams strategically give up some games. For example, tonight, the coaching staff did not give the players a lot of matchup information before the game. On the one hand, because the Cavaliers have changed new players, the most important task now is to get them in. But on the other hand, it's hard not to say what it means to give up on this game.

Boozer turned around, and he saw Suhi saying to Stephen Silas, "Stephen, we must win this victory." ”

Silas had similar doubts.

LeBron James worked well with Tony Barty on the court, Barty gave James the most solid cover, and he was good at interrupting Artest's defensive continuity.

James frequently enters the interior line, bringing great challenges to the Pacers.

In the third minute of the second quarter, he completed a wonderful tomahawk dunk.

The entire Gander Arena was boiling: worthy of a king! This is our king!

LeBron James played well on the court, and Paul Silas simply let Susie rest more on the bench.

Paul Silas went out of his way to get James and Sushi back together, which was good for the whole team.

Moreover, he felt that it was a battle of spirits between two teenagers, who had played so well before. It could be that Jack's recent shine has made LeBron jealous. After a while, it will be reconciled.

However, it didn't take long for the Pacers to find a way to limit James.

With five minutes left in the second quarter, LeBron James drove to the basket and was chased by Artest, who was forced to follow a path he was not good at, and when he jumped to make a layup, O'Neal Jr. came out and slapped the basketball to the rebound.

Artest was like a sheepdog, driving James into a trap, and O'Neal Jr. delivered the final blow.

When the first block was completed, the fans at the Gander Arena thought it was an accident.

But the second block pulled James' basketball straight out of bounds, and people realized that LeBron was at a dead end.

And, after re-serving, in the gap between LeBron James's hesitation, Artest steals his basketball and passes to Tinsley, who launches a fast break and completes a layup in the frontcourt.

"Jack, now I'm one steal ahead of you."

Artest turned his back, and he smirked a finger at Suhey.

Paul Silas quickly called Sushi's name, and he said to Suhee, "Go up and help LeBron." ”

In this way, he hopes to repair the relationship between Sushi and James.

But to achieve the opposite effect, LeBron James frowned: Is this looking down on me? I was robbed and blocked, so you hurried up to Suxi the sheep, do you think the chosen son is not as good as him?

Suhey received a pass from Kevin Ollie up front and he quickly passed half-time.

Tinsley stepped forward to trap Suhey.

He's a player with a lot of spirit on the offensive end.

But Suxi just accelerated, knocked him away, and then released his explosive power violently, smashing into the basket.

Artest didn't dare to step forward to pinch the attack, Reggie Miller didn't act, O'Neal Jr. was pulled away by Tony Barty, and Suhee jumped up to complete a powerful one-handed split.

Suhi stopped the Cavaliers' decline with a violent dunk.

There were some cheers at the Gander Arena.

Although not as loud as when James dunked on the tomahawk before.

The game continues.

Tinsley dribbled across half court and suddenly showed off his skills at the top of the arc... He, like Kenny Anderson and Ron Artest, was born on the streets of New York. So the ball control skills are gorgeous, but his talent is far less than Kenny Anderson when he was younger.

When he made a cross back and forth, and completed another in-place top spiral rotation, Suhi pressed up...... Syllable!

Seeing the opportunity, he directly cut off his basketball. In the face of absolute power, absolute acumen, this technique is useless.

"Bells and whistles."

Sushi dropped a comment and ran to the front court with Tinsley's basketball.

James struck quickly from the left, and Tony Barty also accelerated behind him.

At the same time, the Pacers are fast defensively.

Larry Bird sat up, his concentration focused on seeing how Suhey handled the quick counterattack.

Suhi made it to the three-point line in an instant, and he shook Tinsley's gambling steal away with a quick change of direction, and he went straight into the box, making it difficult for Artest and O'Neal Jr. to defend their defense.

He continued to go deeper until he was about to enter the reasonable collision zone when he suddenly made a pass to the left, and Artest and O'Neill Jr. moved at the same time.

However, the basketball did not pass out, Su Xi's big hand grabbed the basketball was just a feint, and after the two defenders and attackers were deceived, Su Xi threw the basketball behind him and quickly avoided it.

Tony Barty received the basketball and jumped to his feet, and there was already a smooth road in front of him...... Rumble!

He completes a violent two-handed clasp!

The basket was ferociously bombarded by Tony Barty, swaying up and down.

The Gander Arena was boiling again.

"Well passed, my Excellency Commander."

Tony Barty jumped off the basket and praised Suhi.

He was new to the roof and didn't yet know about the Cavaliers' current internal power struggle. He is actively moving closer to Suxi: "He is worthy of being a super rookie who won four doubles in his debut." ”

Suhi smiled.

James on one side had a rather unsightly face. Suxi used him as bait again this time, did he tease the king like this?

Moreover, Tony Barty's words also made him even more 'suddenly realized', it turned out that he took four pairs and meant it this way.

The game continues.

The second quarter ended quickly.

With Suhee on the court, the Pacers' defense was distracted, and the Cavaliers took the initiative again, leading by one point at 46:45 at halftime.

Back in the locker room, the atmosphere was slightly silent. Only Tony Batti was there excitedly talking to Suhi about how comfortable Suhey's pass was just now.

Moreover, he also briefed Sushi on his firepower distribution on the offensive end.

It's a normal thing in itself, and it's always a good idea to get along with a point guard when you're new to it.

But the problem is that the atmosphere inside the Cavaliers is a bit complicated right now.

The second half continued.

Originally, Paul Silas wanted Tony Barty to get used to it for a little longer, but his conversation in the locker room clearly upset James, and Paul Silas didn't want James to be upset.

I don't want the contradiction between Suxi and James to expand.

Just arrange the starting lineup as normal.

The game was uneventful.

Neither side was very efficient, and the Cavaliers maintained a one- or two-point lead.

In the third quarter, Sushi played 6 minutes and went off the rest again.

James led the team and also had a good output.

Until after the start of the fourth quarter.

Reggie Miller came up and threw two three-pointers in a row, and the Pacers instantly overtook them.

James was tackled by Artest for 1 and whistled for 1 walk in the process.

This chosen son, who was praised as a 'young man', had just passed his 19th birthday after all. He's starting to get hot-headed, he's going crazy to punch, his impact is causing a lot of damage, but he's struggling at the free-throw line.

The brain is congested and the muscles are congested, causing the otherwise ordinary free throw feel to decline one after another.

Paul Silas originally wanted to give James a chance to show his face, so he kept pressing Suhey.

But James missed chances one after another.

It's going to be garbage time.

As a manager, you have to make the last push no matter what.

What's more, Sushi is now also one of the core of the team. If you don't let him go up at the critical moment, you can't say anything.

So, in the fifth minute of the fourth quarter.

Suhi went into battle.

He walked onto the pitch and pulled his teammates together: "We're going to play some tactical ......"

Carlos Boozer, Jason Capo, and Ilgoskas were all by Suhi's side, following Suhi's instructions.

James was standing at the free throw line, and he didn't go over.

Bang!

James hit the iron with his second free throw.

Il Goskas, stuck Foster. Suhi struck from one side, jumped high, he touched the basketball first under Artest's aerial confrontation, he nodded out, and bounced again with explosive power beyond Artest, and dialed the basketball directly to the bottom corner of the three-point line.

Capono waited a long time.

He received a basketball and shot it directly...... Swish!

Hit.

The Cavaliers pulled back three points.

It's only six points behind.

All at once from the edge of garbage time back to the normal rhythm.

At this time, Suhi deliberately walked towards James when he was returning to the defense.

He had something to say to the king.

In the name of the law.
