NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 61 Wang Chong: I know a few moves, but beating you is enough

James on the bench couldn't sit still.

Putting aside the winning or losing of the game for now, if Wang Chong even beat him in statistics, wouldn't he become a joke as the number one pick?

Is there any reason that the No. 13 pick in the NBA can't even compare to the guy with the No. [-] pick in the first round?

Even Kobe and Iverson have only gradually changed in the past two years. Although Kobe has surpassed Iverson in the selection of the best team for two consecutive years, pushing the opponent from the first team to the second team, but really in this It is still difficult to say whether the two are stronger or weaker.

There is no suspense about who is stronger between the two in their rookie seasons.

艾弗森生涯首个赛季便能场均贡献23.5分4篮板7.5助攻，反观科比那时候只是个替补小透明，场均不过7.6分1.9篮板1.3助攻。

At that time, no one compared these two people together.

James doesn't want to be in the same league as players of Wang Chong's level in his rookie season.

Seeing Wang Chong score consecutively, he could no longer hold back.

"Coach, let me play." James looked at his head coach and volunteered. "Only I can stop that guy!"

The Cavaliers' coach is named Paul Silas. He is a mediocre NBA head coach, but after all, he is also an NBA-level head coach.

He knows very well that the overall situation has been decided. It is almost impossible for the Cavaliers to reverse the situation in the subsequent games. Moreover, this is a preseason game after all, and the victory or defeat is really not that important.

Silas also knows and understands what James is thinking.

Although the No. [-] pick in the NBA is shrouded in various auras, the pressure he endures is not comparable to that of other players, especially players like James who have been praised to the sky before even landing in the NBA. He cannot tolerate players in the same class who are better than him. Better, especially players who are five or even ten spots away in the draft.

But...even if you go up, won't you be able to guard against Wang Chong?

The scene of the two scoring each other in the first quarter is still vivid in my mind. On the offensive end, the two were completely at each other's throats, and neither could do anything to the other.

Although he wanted to persuade James not to act out of anger, Silas also knew that the other party would not listen to his advice.

Sighing in his heart, Silas nodded and said: "As soon as there is a chance of a dead ball, I will replace you."

At this time, the game on the field was still going on.

Wang Chong was too lazy to make any complicated moves when facing the defender with the ball. He just took a simple test step and immediately pulled up and shot a jump shot. Even if the fake move of the test step failed to deceive the opponent, the height of his shot still allowed him to Hit the shot steadily.

So far in the game, Wang Chong has taken more than ten shots.

The highest level badge he has, the gold level has entered the rhythm, and the buff effect is still stacking with the number of shots.

The effect of this badge is that the number of shots taken will bring additional shooting bonuses, and the effect will continue to stack regardless of whether the shot is hit or missed.

Wang Chong doesn't know what the upper limit of this buff effect is, but it can definitely provide him with a pretty good bonus at this stage.

As a result, he was more determined than earlier when taking shots.

"Shh!"

The basketball swiped the net and entered the basket. Wang Chong scored his 20th point of the game, tying James' score.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Big Z attacked the inside, causing the Lakers substitute center to commit a defensive foul and go to the free throw line.

James breathed a huge sigh of relief off the court and almost couldn't wait to walk onto the court. "Don't be too proud! Once I come on stage, you won't have the chance to continue to be rampant!"

James was full of confidence and whispered to Wang Chong. "You only know two or three tricks like this, it's no big deal."

When he was off the court just now, he had already thought carefully about how to defend Wang Chong.

Regarding Wang Chong's off-ball play, he currently has no good solution, but if Wang Chong attacks with the ball, James feels that he can still block it.

Therefore, he verbally provoked Wang Chong as soon as he came on the court, hoping to anger Wang Chong and lure him into a one-on-one duel.

As long as the two of them directly confront each other and play in singles, he will be very sure to reduce Wang Chong's offensive shooting rate.

If Wang Chong is really a young man under 20 years old, young and energetic, he may fall into James' provocation.

But alas he is not.

As a time traveler who came back from the future and was bombarded by the information age of the Internet explosion, if Wang Chong couldn't even see such a low-level provocation method, couldn't stand this level of verbal attacks and became angry and irrational, he would have lost his mind long ago. I couldn't even sleep at night after being criticized by various yin and yang masters on the Internet.

After Big Z made one of two free throws, the Lakers attacked.

James, who was expecting Wang Chong to challenge him with the ball, found that the opponent was not moved at all.

Wang Chong walked to the three-point line in the right corner. As the players settled into position, they began to move quickly without the ball.

"It's this trick again!"

James followed Wang Chong wordlessly for most of the court, and was once again blocked by a Lakers player without the ball.

Even though he had already called his teammates to help with defense before this, the Cavaliers players’ awareness of defense...

Wang Chong received a pass from his teammate and took a shot within the effect of the hot zone hunter. James arrived late and could only watch as Wang Chong made another shot.

22 points!
"So? Just these few moves are enough to hit you."

Wang Chong glanced at James lightly and turned back to defend.

"Damn it..." James was so angry that he couldn't do anything.

Wang Chong is too lazy. Defending the pick-and-roll is not a one-person task. He can easily score by taking advantage of other Cavaliers players not being able to defend in time.

James held the ball angrily for half the game, but his expression was slightly startled, because Wang Chong actually stood in front of him for the first time. This was the first time in this game that Wang Chong took the initiative to defend him.

very good!The defensive end can't help you, but it's also a good choice to defeat you head-on on the offensive end!

James almost couldn't wait to hold the ball and accelerate directly, trying to use his speed to pass Wang Chong in one step.

With his super explosiveness and good speed, James' first step to break through is also very fast. Although his speed is not as fast as that of most defenders, he is definitely among the best among forwards.

Of course Wang Chong can't keep up with James' breakthrough speed, but it doesn't matter. He doesn't need to keep up, because he knows very well that James' offense only has the option of breaking through with the ball. Compared with the speed of breakthrough, James' breakthrough poses the greatest threat. In fact, it is power.

Relying on power to bulldoze defensive players into the paint for a layup is James' signature stunt. The power and impact of muscle collision are so eye-catching that many people ignore the pace at James' feet.
