I am super giant

Chapter 33

Jumping the ball on both sides, the 221cm "Big Z" Ilgauskas confronted the 206cm "Big Ben" Ben Wallace.

Despite being 15 centimeters shorter, Big Ben still relied on his super jumping and experience to win the first round for the Pistons.

Billups held the basketball firmly and led the Pistons to advance.

After the ball passed halftime, the five Cavaliers stared at their opponents one after another and stepped forward to defend.

Billups took his time and called on Big Ben to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Boozer followed up with Big Ben, and his pace was only a little slower, but Billups seized the opportunity and broke into the paint.

James immediately came up to defend, Billups's eyes flashed, and he passed the ball directly to Prince who was open.

Prince will naturally not let go of the empty seat.

But just as he was posing for the shot, he found that James, who had gone out to make up defense, came back in an instant, his footsteps were as fast as a bull, which was extremely astonishing.

"As expected of the champion, such a large tonnage can run so fast!"

The opportunity was not good, and Prince didn't make random shots, so he handed it back to Billups again.

Billups scanned the half court, his eyes lit up again, and he passed the ball in an instant.

At the free throw line, Hamilton jumped when he caught the ball, flicked his wrist, and accurately sent the basketball into the frame, opening the scoring for the Pistons.

2: 0.

"Let's see what happened just now. Davis marked Hamilton, and Hamilton just left Davis behind with a back run. What is this guy doing? Isn't he awake yet? Facing the most famous running back in the league. , Davis dares to be so lax? If the Cavaliers defend the Pistons' first scoring point like this, I would advise Coach Paul to surrender earlier!"

Barkley sarcastically sarcastically.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

McGinnis advances with the ball.

Passing by the bench, Paul Silas shouted loudly: "Defense, if you don't want to lose, defend hard!"

Sure enough, the Cavaliers' defensive problems were exposed in the first round.

Near the top of the three-point arc, Billups pushed forward.

This is not the first time that McGinnis has faced Billups. Knowing that Billups is not something he can deal with both offensively and defensively, he decisively handed the ball to Ricky Davis.

Facing Hamilton, Davis changed direction in front of his body and made a strong breakthrough. He relied on stronger physical fitness to reach the inside line and wanted to return an Answerball.

But just as he was laying up, a figure stood in front of him, Ben Wallace, four-time Defensive Player of the Year winner.

On the side, the 206-centimeter Prince stretched out his long arms against the sky, blocking all of Davis' passing routes.

Davis panicked and changed his shot to a throw.

But at this moment, a third figure jumped up from behind him and slapped the racket flying.

This person is none other than Hamilton who came after him.

Big Ben quickly picked up the basketball and handed it directly to Billups. Billups didn't stop the ball for a moment, and he went straight down. Hamilton and Prince followed closely behind.

On the other hand, for the Cavaliers, James was the only one who quickly returned to defense.No matter how strong his defensive ability is, he can't recover from a one-on-three attack.

With the cooperation of the Pistons' outside trio, Prince finally put the ball into the basket easily.

The start is 4:0.

"Hey, this is the strongest defensive system in the league. Four guys with a single-defense advantage, coupled with an invincible helper, no one wants to score easily in the Pistons paint area."

Smith said.

"But compared to the Pistons' defense, I want to complain more about Davis' performance. To be honest, both of the Pistons' goals were due to his mistakes. Maybe tonight, Davis should wear a Detroit jersey. Not the Cleveland jersey."

Barkley was merciless, directly insinuating that Davis behaved like a spy.

Less than 1 minute into the game, Paul couldn't take it anymore and called a timeout.

"Defense! Defense! How about your defense?"

Paul cursed directly, pointing the finger at Davis.

"Next, hand over the offensive tasks to James and Big Z, and the others will do their own defensive tasks first. If you continue to act like you haven't woken up, come back to the bench!"

On the other side, Larry Brown glanced at the Cavaliers from the corner of his eye, showing disdain.

"A preseason game, I want you to play the game in the first quarter, and then let other rotation players practice tactics. Remember, defense wins the game, don't give the opponent any easy chance to score!"

Pause ends.

The Cavaliers had the ball, McGinnis dribbled the ball halfway, and passed the ball to James as instructed by the coach.

James did not choose singles, even if he faced the most powerful defense in the league, his confidence would be halved.

So James chose to let the big Z come out to pick and roll.

The 36-year-old Campbell was very slow and couldn't defend the pick-and-roll. He could only let Big Ben come out and stare at Big Z. After all, Big Z had a good mid-range shot, and no one dared to let him shoot.

When James saw this scene, his eyes flashed.

When Big Z ran back to the basket, he threw the ball to Big Z, directly forming a situation where the 221cm Big Z singled out the 206cm Big Ben.

There is no doubt about Daben's defensive ability, but there is a shortcoming that everyone knows.

Because of his short height, Big Ben is most afraid of giant centers who are good at shooting, such as Yao Ming, such as Big Z.

Therefore, Big Z didn't even think about it, turning his back was a fadeaway jumper.

Big Ben took off with all his strength, trying to stop Big Z, but in the end he could only cover his eyes and couldn't touch the basketball at all.

It's a pity that just at the beginning of the game, Big Z's hands were a little cold, and the basketball came out of the basket.

Veteran Campbell has long been stuck in his position, waiting for the basketball to fall.

But at this moment, a strong figure suddenly rose into the air from behind, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and smashed it hard into the basket.

Bang!
4: 2!

With the swaying basketball hoop coupled with the bewildered veteran player Campbell, the Palace of Auburn Hills instantly fell into deathly silence.

For three full seconds, boo!

Amazing boos broke out in the arena, all for the dunker, James.

"It's great! Our No. [-] pick is very violent and makes me very optimistic about him!"

Barkley used three very (very) in a row to express his admiration for James' ball.

"How should I say it? Just by this ball, I can tell that there is nothing wrong with the decision Cleveland made in the draft. LeBron James, worthy of his No. [-] pick position. Not only outstanding physical talent , James also showed good passing awareness and judgment ability just now. The moment Big Z faced Big Ben, he decided to pass the ball, which is great!"

Smith is also optimistic about James.

Sitting on the bench, Ye Feng couldn't help standing up and waving the towel to applaud the goal.

James may not be elegant enough to play, on the contrary, he is a bit cumbersome.His dunks may lack aesthetics, but they are full of power.Can have a powerful impact on people's confidence.

Moreover, this brutal way of playing is also mixed with reason, James' golf quotient is very high.

This ball is very morale-boosting!

James' first appearance, the first show is the pinnacle!
