legendary point guard
Chapter 246
"2:0! Wood opened the scoring for Orlando, but..." Hoffman turned his head and looked at Bill Walton, "To be honest, Wood's offense was still a little reluctant, even though Wood scored."
Bill Walton nodded: "Okay, what you said is indeed good, but being able to put reluctant shots into the basket often is a manifestation of ability, isn't it? For example, Bryant's extremely difficult shots
, of course I know what you mean."
During the conversation in the commentary box, the Cavaliers' counterattack has advanced to the frontcourt.
Azubuike stood directly next to James. Azubuike, who is only 1.96 in height, is not light in weight. With a weight of 98 kilograms, he is quite outstanding with such a height.
But standing up to him is LeBron James, one of the league's most inhuman representatives.
Although James' official height is only 2.03, James' actual height is obviously half a head taller than Azubuike. Add in his weight of 120 kilograms, and you can imagine how big he is.
Azubuike, who is one year older than James but still a rookie, is next to James and is obviously smaller than James.
A half-turn with his left arm directly blocked Azubuike behind him, and he immediately passed the ball.
"As I said before the game, the two bodies are not of the same weight class at all." Bill Walton said looking at Azubuike who was holding his teeth against James.
Amid cheers from the entire court, James bulldozed Azubuike into the basket.
Before Dwight Howard could cover up, LeBron James sent the ball into the basket.
"l*!l*!l*!"
Quicken Loans Center burst into uniform cheers, and James raised his right hand high and ran to the backcourt.
"If you can't defend yourself, let go." Lin Sen patted Azubuike on the shoulder and walked towards the bottom line.
Dwight Howard picked up the ball on the floor and immediately passed it to Lin Sen. Lin Sen caught the ball steadily and received waves of harsh boos from the Cleveland Cavaliers fans.
When Lin Sen dribbled the ball past half court, he immediately saw James pull out from inside the three-point line.
His eyes did not stay on James in the distance but looked at his teammates' positions, observing while moving forward.
As Lin Sen advanced toward the three-point line little by little, James' eyes became particularly sharp.
After Lin Sen made a gesture, he lowered his body weight and the ball shuttled back and forth under Lin Sen's crotch.
Facing Lin Sen's low center of gravity dribbling, James did not dare to make a move at will. Standing in front of Lin Sen, he did not give Lin Sen enough space, and then allowed Lin Sen to dribble.
Lin Sen's dribbling frequency is getting faster and faster, and he is pacing with his right and left feet crossed continuously, looking like he is always ready to break through.
Snapped!
He swatted the ball with his left hand, and the ball hit Lin Sen's back. At the same time, he tilted his upper body to the right.
James' left foot immediately moved a step to the left, but Lin Sen made a different move. With his upper body leaning to the right, Lin Sen's right foot directly reached the right side of James' body.
Snapped!
He swatted the ball again with his right hand, and the ball passed through his crotch and came to his left hand, rushing past with the impact of his body.
James' reaction was not unpleasant, but Lin Sen still took some advantage immediately, and James quickly retreated to defend.
Snapped!
Just when James thought Lin Sen changed dribblers again, the ball did not appear in Lin Sen's hands.
"Oh, Wood chose to pass the ball! It went directly through LeBron's crotch." Hoffman shouted looking at the court.
I saw the ball hit James' crotch accurately. It is conceivable that if the ball was slower, it might hit James' quickly retreating leg and turn it into a mistake.
But Lin Sen's pass was extremely accurate, passing through without any contact with James' legs.
When the ball bounced, he went straight to Dwight Howard, who was one step inside the free throw line. Howard caught the ball with both hands and started at the same time.
Igauskas immediately moved his steps when he found Linsen passing the ball to Howard, but his movement ability was obviously not comparable to Howard.
Howard took a big step and ripped apart Igauskas' defense.
Bang!
Howard pulled the basket hard with both hands and kicked his legs hard. The entire basket shook violently under his tug.
"I bet LeBron never expected Wood to pass the ball." Bill Walton said with a smile, as Linson's pass just now was being replayed on the big screen.
"Wood's pass is indeed too accurate. Even if it is just a tenth of a second, it will turn into a mistake, but I have to say that only bold people can pass such a ball. Dwight's goal was too easy.
This is also the direct reason why Dwight’s scoring average has increased from 17.5 points per game when Wood joined to the current 20.5 points. Therefore, it is necessary to look at Dwight’s data rationally. To be honest, the current 20+10 super player like Dwight
Insider data cannot have a real role.
I know what I said is a bit unpleasant, and even harsh or, to be precise, slanderous to many Dwight fans, but as a center player, as an old guy who has been in this league and has had successful experience, I still
It has to be said that Dwight's data did not bring the due effect to Orlando, and his effect is far inferior to Amare, Yao and even the now aging Shaq."
Bill Walton's words are the same as those of many basketball experts. They do not think that Howard has become a super center now that he has produced 20+10 statistics.
On the contrary, many people believe that Howard's growth is too slow. This is why the Orlando front office headed by Otis Smith was originally prepared to offer Howard a maximum salary contract, but after the team acquired Linson, they wanted to offer Howard a new contract.
The main reason for a contract similar to that of Yao Ming and Stoudemire.
The game on the field was still going on, and James' face was naturally dull after being missed by Lin Sen.
Returning to the frontcourt and asking for the ball again, James didn't care about rookie Azubuike's defense. Quicken Loans Center cheered suddenly.
However, compared with last time, Azubuike's defensive intensity has been significantly strengthened, but the gap in strength and weight between the two is still obvious.
Although it caused a lot of trouble for James, James still successfully cut in.
Not far away, Lin Sen saw that James was about to break through and immediately shouted: "Kailana!"
Then he immediately threw away Larry Hughes and pounced on James.
James, who rushed straight to the inside, did not hesitate at all when faced with Turkoglu who was covering the defense. He swatted the ball and jumped high in front of Turkoglu.
Although Turkoglu is 2.08 inches tall, he is not on the same level as James. Turkoglu decisively moved away from his body.
Lin Sen, who came up to defend, jumped from the side and opened his right arm as wide as possible.
Lin Sen, who came up from the side to defend, did not escape James' peripheral vision. Facing Lin Sen's defense, James pulled the ball with both hands and made a small dodge.
Lin Sen immediately retracted his hand. He knew that if he didn't stop, what awaited him would be a foul for James and he would not be able to block James' dunk. A two-plus-one was something Lin Sen absolutely did not want to see.
With more than 20,000 people cheering, James slammed the ball into the basket.
Roar!
James let go of the rim and landed on the ground, beating his chest hard and roaring angrily.
Although he didn't yell directly at Lin Sen, everyone knew that this was James' most direct reply to Lin Sen.
At this time, the game had just begun, and both sides successfully completed two attacks, and both of them made people secrete adrenaline faster.
The game continued on the field, and the offense and defense of both sides also entered a normal state. They did not have a 100% shooting rate like they did at the beginning.
Lin Sen also devoted more energy to organizing the team, and the same was true for James.
This made the fans who were mobilized actively at the beginning feel very uncomfortable.
Mike Brown and Stan Van Gundy were still sitting on the Diaoyutai, listening to the latest reports from other venues.
Unconsciously, the game came to the end of the first half, and James was still carefully staring at Lin Sen in front of him.
Lin Sen's lack of shots did not make him give up his defensive intensity. He knew that Lin Sen, a rookie, would definitely not continue like this.
Lin Sen did not dribble the ball through the half court himself but handed the ball to Carlos Arroyo. Arroyo steadily dribbled the ball through the half court while Lin Sen ran forward without the ball.
James watched Lin Sen pass the frontcourt and immediately greeted him. Lin Sen did not shy away and allowed James to stare at him.
Just as Arroyo dribbled the ball past half-court, Lin Sen, who was in front of James, suddenly turned around.
The speed was so fast that James couldn't react in time. By the time James reacted, Lin Sen had already moved from in front of him to behind him.
Not only did James not expect Lin Sen's sudden turn, but the other Cavaliers players also did not expect it.
Lin Sen, who turned around and threw James behind him, did not stop but rushed directly to the inside.
** stared at Arroyo and pushed the ball directly. ** subconsciously reached out to interfere with Arroyo's pass but failed. The ball jumped over **'s head and went straight to the inside.
Drew Gooden looked at Lin Sen who rushed in and reacted, and immediately moved his steps to make up for it.
Facing Gooden's defense, Linsen stepped towards Drew Gooden's right side with his left foot. Drew Gooden's attention was immediately drawn to the right side.
Seeing Gooden's footsteps move, Lin Sen stepped with his right foot to Drew Gooden's left side.
"Eurostep without the ball!" Hoffman shouted.
After Lin Sen threw Guden away, Lin Sen's left foot kicked heavily on the floor.
Lin Sen's whole body rose into the wind, and Arroyo's pass also flew over.
Igauskas on the other side of the basket immediately moved his feet to try to block Linsen. Although Igauskas, who is 221 centimeters tall and weighs 260 pounds, has negligible bounce, his huge tonnage is unquestionable. (To be continued.
