NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 195 My Big James' Playing Style

With the outflow of the interview video of the two, the eyes of the major media once again focused on the match between the Heat and the Cavaliers.

In fact, it is not surprising.

Because James is currently one of the biggest players in the league, and the only person who can match him is the iron shell who has returned from a serious injury.

But the iron shell is already old, like the twilight, some fringe believers have already scattered and disappeared.

It is human nature to admire the strong.

When the strong are no longer strong, they will naturally leave and look for new strong people to admire.

Apart from the two major players, it's time for Du Xiaoshuai, Westbrook, Wade, Harden, Curry, Xue Liancheng and others.

Especially Harden and Curry, who have sprung up in the last two seasons, their popularity is not low.

In addition, Xue Liancheng, a super rookie this year, swept away as soon as he came out, playing a historical level of performance, which is a new traffic carrier.

Xue Liancheng VS James is naturally full of gimmicks.

Although Xue Liancheng is currently behind James in terms of status and popularity, the sparks of the collision between the old and the new are still eye-catching.

of course.

In fact, traffic alone cannot attract so much attention.

The most important thing is the grievance and hatred between the two. Since the start of this season, they have been lingering with each other, and they are inseparable.

First of all, Xue Liancheng was selected by the Heat, which doomed the disharmony between the two, because James experienced the loss in the finals of last season, left Miami without nostalgia, returned to Cleveland, and was regarded as a traitor by Miami.

As a member of Miami, Xue Liancheng was born at odds with James.

Then what Xue Liancheng said in the interview was distorted by the media. When James heard the name Xue Liancheng, he interrupted and replied: I don't know.

The grievances are buried here.

of course.

In the eyes of the public, this is the grievance between James and the Heat.

Although Xue Liancheng performed well at the time, he was still a little transparent.

With Xue Liancheng's performance getting better and better, and Frank dubbed the title of the third giant on Xue Liancheng's head.

More and more voices suggested that Xue Liancheng replaced James.

This makes me upset about James, a rookie, taking his place?
Who is this trying to insult?

and so.

During this period, James never mentioned Xue Liancheng.

Whenever the reporter asked Xue Liancheng's questions, they just skipped them.

And to Xue Liancheng, that was also an insult.

Being looked down upon by others?

Can he be cool?
Whoever it is, probably will be suffocated.

In the middle, I, James King, commented that the Heat's current record does not mean anything, further accumulating grievances.

Frank and Windhorst represent Xue Liancheng and James' rivalry respectively, and the grievances and grievances aroused are getting deeper and deeper.

Then came the Christmas War.

The Heat directly slaughtered the Cavaliers of the new Big Three with 116 points in 71:45.

Xue Liancheng let out a bad breath.

James was devastated.

Originally here, it is considered a normal range.

The Heat proved that without you, James, you are still a powerful presence in the league.

James lost, and it's over if he admits it.

The grievances between the Heat and James can be regarded as the end.

However, facing the coming storm, James chose to play tricks, throwing his face directly to embarrass Xue Liancheng.

This time, the grievances between the two of them were completely tied.

Because of me, the big Zhan Huang, flirting and playing tricks, I have Xue Liancheng's ruthless words: once I see you, I hammer it once.

As soon as the words came out.

How could the Jamies stand it?
Wherever there is Xue Liancheng, it is a must.

Although James transferred the public opinion pressure of the fiasco and poor performance, he also transferred the grievances between the Heat and him to Xue Liancheng.

Since then.

The Heat VS James became Xue Liancheng VS James.

Especially as Xue Liancheng's performance got better and better, the grievances between the two parties completely jumped out from the Cavaliers and the Heat and became personal grievances.

Because at this time, Xue Liancheng is already qualified to be compared with James, at least in terms of statistics, he is not afraid.

And when Xue Liancheng publicly stated that the MVP list was unfair, the grievances between the two parties were completely ignited.

Fuck roll call, I, Zhan, don't deserve to be third, can this be tolerated?
Fans from both sides played directly from online to offline, causing wave after wave of enthusiasm.

At this time, the rematch between the Heat and the Cavaliers began.

How can this not attract the attention of many fans?

Fans online continued to abuse.

And Under Armor also took the opportunity to release a sample preview of Liancheng's first-generation sneakers, taking advantage of the huge wave of traffic.

All members of the Heat also arrived in Cleveland on this day.

What greeted them was naturally a pattern of ridiculing and swearing labels all over the sky.

Even at the door of the hotel where they stayed, a lot of insulting words were written.

It can be seen that the grievances between the two sides are deep.

Many true fans are willing to do some crazy things to protect their idols.

Uncle Wei even teased Xue Liancheng with this, "Xue, you finally look like a superstar. When I led the team to beat the Mavericks to win the championship, I was treated like this when I visited Dallas again."

Xue Liancheng laughed dumbfounded: "Then should I be proud?"

Uncle Wei looked affirmative, "Yes, you should be proud. This means that you have truly stepped into the ranks that make people fearful. This is a recognition of your strength."

Xue Liancheng said indifferently: "Uh... there is still some truth."

Uncle Wei: "It's true. Only when your strength reaches this level can you be treated like this. Otherwise, if you change to a role player, who would want to talk to you?"

Having said that, it seems that this is really the case.

But Xue Liancheng didn't really care about this, but asked: "How do you feel today, can you play?"

Uncle Wei spread his hands, "I really want to play, but my knees don't allow it."

Xue Liancheng was slightly disappointed, "Okay, then take a good rest and watch my performance."

But also expected.

After all, according to the historical trajectory, Uncle Wei was absent from the All-Stars, and this is how Korver got his chance.

And this year.

Korver should have no chance.

The All-Star substitutes also announced the list a few days ago.

The West is: Harden, Thompson, Durant, Westbrook, Aldridge, Duncan, Paul.

Due to the absence of the Iron Shell injury, the West may have to advance to a spot.

Eastern Substitutes: Lowry, Wall, Irving, Butler, Horford, Teague, Anthony.

And since Wade has confirmed that he will miss the Cavaliers game, the All-Stars should not be able to make it, and there will be an incremental quota, and that person is likely to be Millsap.

In this case, the top two in the East will each occupy three seats, which makes sense.

Wade solemnly said: "I believe in you, and I will definitely win the game."

Xue Liancheng: "I will try not to let you down."

Without Uncle Wei, he really didn't feel quite right.

after all.

Now that the Cavaliers have played in full body, the Big Three bring a group of equally outstanding role players, and their strength should not be underestimated.

But they are missing an All-Star player, and he is also a star player with a very strong offensive ability.

The strength gap between the two sides was pulled out.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

At the appearance ceremony, when it was Xue Liancheng's turn to appear, he was booed wildly.

What a roaring tsunami, deafening!

Xue Liancheng has played for most of the season, and this is the first time he has encountered such a big scene.

He realized now that he was treated like a real superstar.

Sense-wise, it's not too good.

But deep down, he was inexplicably excited.

even……

He also enjoys being booed a little, that feeling of being in the center of the crowd and being watched by everyone, which makes his soul jump.

I don't know if this is a psychopath...

There is no doubt that this game will be broadcast live nationwide.

Explained by the NTN Tiantuan.

The host Ernie Johnson also began to warm up at this time: "This much-anticipated game is about to start. Everyone should be aware of the entanglement between the Heat and LeBron. Everyone should also know that Xue's recent Fans and James fans are colliding fiercely, this game will undoubtedly be very exciting, let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides."

"The Heat's starting lineup: Xue Liancheng, Batum, PJ-Tucker, Ibaka, Gasol Jr. Dwyane will continue to be absent, but this does not affect the attention of this game."

"Cavs starters: Irving, JR-Smith, LeBron, Love, Mozgov."

"The last time we faced each other was at the American Airlines Center in Miami. The Cavaliers lost 45 points to the Heat, which was shocking."

"Shortly after the end of the Christmas game, both sides completed transactions one after another. After the transaction, both sides led a wave of winning streaks, especially the Heat, which has won [-] consecutive victories. It is simply unstoppable. Now let's see if the Cleveland Cavaliers can win Sniping the Heat, ending the Heat's winning streak, and at the same time completing revenge, what do the two celebrities think?"

Barkley continued: "In the Christmas game, the Cavaliers lost so badly. It was really unexpected, but since the trade, the Cavaliers have undergone qualitative changes. The arrival of Mozgov solved the problem of protecting the frame. JR-Smith and Shampoo Tate brought a three-pointer for the Cavaliers, James was completely released, the Cavaliers have a good chance in this game, after all, Dwyane's absence has a huge impact on the Heat."

O'Neill: "The Cavaliers do have a good chance, but I am more optimistic about the Miami Heat. The reason is simple. I used to be a member of Miami, and I must support them."

Barkley turned his head and looked suspicious: "Didn't you fight alongside LeBron and be a teammate?"

O'Neal: "It is true, but since the Lakers came out, I have only won a championship in Miami. I am a person who knows how to be grateful."

Although the two joked very unreasonably.

But it can be felt in the words that they are not very optimistic about the Heat.

One of the reasons is that the Heat lack Wade.

And another reason is that the Cavaliers have experienced a big defeat in the last game, and they can no longer afford to lose.

in contrast.

The Heat won the Christmas game heartily. They allow mistakes. Even if they lose, outside fans will not be demanding.

And the last point, the Heat have won [-] consecutive victories, and they have won enough. The time spanned for a month. During this period, every player's nerves were tense, and they were actually mentally tired. I just can't hold back.

Once the string is broken, it will collapse thousands of miles.

Now that they encounter an extremely powerful knight, whether the Heat can step over is a question.

The game will start soon.

The two sides came to the center circle to stand.

Xue Liancheng inadvertently looked at each other with my big Zhan Huang, and found that my big Zhan Huang's eyes were not only indifferent, but also stern.

Obviously.

When they met again, he was no longer little Karami.

James officially regards him as an opponent and dare not take him lightly.

Gasol Jr. and Mozgov jump the ball.

The two European elders, in the end, Gasol Jr. was even better.

The Heat made the first attack.

Xue Liancheng pushed forward with the ball, looking at Owen in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.

Hey……

what's the situation?
Is my big Zhan Huang retreating?

Didn't he come to guard him in the last match?How would this go against Tucker?
Willing to be a coward?

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Although James will be stealthy and throw the blame at critical moments, there are also signs of cowardice in his behavior, such as running away immediately when his teammates are not good enough.

But in terms of court performance, it is definitely not related to cowards.

It is impossible for James to be afraid of leading him.

So……

There is only one possibility.

To defend against Tucker, who is the easiest to defend, is to save energy and put all the energy into the offense.

Think about it.

Seems like a smart move indeed.

The current offensive efficiency of the Cavaliers is also very high, and the average points per game has increased significantly since the trade. James wants to fight with them on offense.

After understanding the knight's strategy, his heart sank slightly.

Blatter still seems to have something.

With the current lineup of the Cavaliers, it would be a fool to really compete with the Heat on defense.

Irving, Love, and JR-Smith are all representatives of strong offense and weak defense, but the Heat are just the opposite. Except for his mediocre defense, everyone else is a first-class defensive champion.

Even if Mozgov has a good ability to protect the frame, how can he be compared with Gasol Jr.?

Except for me, Big James...

Uh……

My big Zhan Huang defends and occasionally loses his mind.

So after all, the overall defensive level of the Cavaliers is really hempy.

Wouldn't it be suicide to fight against the tough defensive Heat?
Fighting to attack is the only way out for the Cavaliers.

Blatter made the right choice.

Concentrate your mind.

Xue Liancheng accelerated again, two steps before the top of the arc, he paused.

The teammates also interspersed at this time.

Although the overall defense of the Cavaliers is not very good, but in this game, a group of people chased and defended very actively.

Take a look for a moment.

Didn't find a chance, just wanted to move.

But Owen said, "Long time no see, let me see if you have improved?"

Xue Liancheng smiled: "Welcome to the inspection."

Owen has a good relationship with him. Although there is no intersection, Owen still respects him.

After the Christmas game, Irving was the first to come up and hug him, with a bit of sympathy for each other.

Done.

He slumped his shoulders straight in.

Facing Owen, he didn't need such fancy moves, but in order to save energy, he still didn't choose to carry someone on his shoulders.

Instead, after pulling back, the front of the body swings sharply.

Judging that Owen's center of gravity was tilted, he stepped forward.

As long as you get stuck, even if you don't get rid of it completely, it's much easier than carrying a person in.

only……

As soon as he started, the wing JR-Smith came to help.

He did not forcefully press over, but chose to dribble from behind and attack from the other side.

And right now.

Ibaka moved and suddenly went straight to the penalty area.

Xue Liancheng threw a high hook while walking.

The ball came to the other side of the rim.

Ibaka arrived in time and completed the alley-oop directly.

The Heat easily got first blood.

Off-site attack and defense.

James advances with the ball, fast.

But the Heat have been prepared for a long time. During the last Christmas game, the Heat's main defensive strategy was to retreat quickly.

The defense is that James took advantage of their unsteady footing and completed a big stride to the frame.

After all, the main scoring method of my big James, defensive counterattack and fast break definitely account for a large proportion.

As long as James' fast break and defensive counterattack are contained, then my big Zhan Huang will lose a lot of power.

If it can stop me from rushing up, Big James.

Then basically it can make me very uncomfortable.

really.

Facing the Heat's quick retreat and PJ-Tucker's uninterrupted physical contact, I, James, couldn't find a good opportunity. After swaying back and forth leisurely, I threw the ball to Irving.

Ok……

The very familiar scene is also my consistent playing style of James.

Once I fail to complete the defensive counterattack or fast break, I usually like to dribble a couple of times, and then hand the ball to the attacker.

It used to be Wade, but now it's Irving.

Then when the defensive players are tired, or when the defensive focus is not on me, I will suddenly come here.

Either make an air cut, or use the off-ball pick-and-roll to cover the ball and raid the basket...

That is the so-called sneak attack.

The effect is good.

But the problem is.

In this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers are facing the Heat who know me very well.

My Big James pouted my ass, and Spoel could probably guess what my Big James wanted to do. Tucker had already raised his concentration to the highest level, and clung to my Big James like a cowhide cream.

of course.

My big Zhan Huang's offensive methods are far more than these.

The sudden three-point shot is also my Zhan's favorite.

But when it feels good, it's not bad.

Once the hand feels bad, there will be a tragedy during the Christmas game, which can distort the entire basket.

Besides.

My big James will ask for the ball in the low post, make an arch, or use a crab-like shot to turn over a jumper, or use brute strength to turn around and complete a dunk at the basket.

However, I don't use this kind of offensive method much.

The main reason is that the movements are still a little stiff. When facing a team with strong frame protection ability and a single-defense defensive gate, I usually play very hard.

Unfortunately……

The Heat are such a team.

If the above means of attack are unsolvable.

Then my big Zhan Huang can only use the final stunt.

—Pick and roll breakthrough.

Once I, the big Zhan Huang, go around and charge up, it will be almost unstoppable.

but……

It would be embarrassing to fail to get up.

This is why my Big James is afraid of tonnage inside players.

After the pick and roll.

The big meat shield is blocking the way of my big Zhan Huang. If my big Zhan Huang rushes up, it will be very difficult.

And now.

My big James will face such a challenge.

Because Gasol Jr. is a meat shield with a good tonnage.
