Chapter 60: Rolling on the Ground
Tim Thomas saw LeBron James holding the basketball and killed him, and decisively flashed to the side, and Da Brush thought that it would be fatal to fight the little emperor head-on at this time......
James hit the basket, and after the outburst, he hit a flat-frame tomahawk-style heavy dunk and poured the basketball into the basket!
The little emperor finally let out a bad breath in his heart at the Staples Arena, the first quarter has been tightly guarded by Artest, there is no room to accelerate at all, there is no strength but can't use it, how can a grievance be described. James let out a sullen breath and yelled at the Clippers fans who booed him when he landed, his face hideous, such crazy love rarely appeared in gorillas who always seemed calm.
Of course, the Clippers fans responded with even louder boos, and it makes no sense that this damn gorilla would dare to be arrogant in Staples!
The elder Dunleavy did not plan to limit James with this lineup, and had already set the tone for the bench lineup, that is, offense, offense instead of defense.
So for Thomas's obscene dodging of James's breakthrough line just now, the old coach should not be able to see it.
Thomas was also ashamed of his appearance, and this attack rarely broke through the rib frame.
His big forward figure still has a certain ability to fight, James defense is in place, Thomas used his excellent shooting touch to make a sharp stop in the second area, and then came to a difficult backward shot, and the basketball bumped and fell into the basket!
The Clippers bench immediately exploded, and the main players stood up and waved their towels vigorously, cheering and celebrating the shot that looked like a win!
Old Dunleavy was sweating on his plug, and he secretly cursed shit luck in his heart!
On the other hand, the Cavaliers' bench lineup, to put it mildly, is a bunch of waste, old and crippled, all of them are goods that no one wants, James is a father and a mother by himself, and he can take such a group of teammates to the finals, and the two brothers can only say a word of admiration. The league erects a new idol, but not everyone can afford it, James's personal ability and team record can afford the league's support for him, even if the gorilla shoots~~
The little emperor slashed 7 points in the first minute of the second quarter, showing his terrifying scoring ability!
But the score did not open, Garcia scored a point, the old cat hit a mid-range shot, Thomas hit a big luck, the two teams were still evenly divided, 2323, and the old Dunleavy called a timeout.
Everyone thought that the Clippers would take advantage of this timeout to replace the two brothers, but the old coach only replaced Artest back on the court, and Thomas pushed to the center position and let Artest play power forward. This formation is strange enough, although Artest is officially 201cm, in fact it is only 198cm, and he is about the same as Charles Barkley when he plays power forward.
Old Dunleavy didn't want Artest to play the fourth position, but asked him to go up and entangle James, the old man's purpose is very clear, as long as the little emperor goes, the beast will go.
If McBrown dares to switch James to the center position, Dunleavy Sr. dares to let Arty also play center.
Artest and Garcia came up on the defensive end of the double package James, Garcia's defensive strength is also not bad, although not called a defensive giant, but also an excellent defensive player, the two of them are a top defense and a co-defense, the effect is not much different from last year's Spurs with Bao and Ginobili, James began to feel uncomfortable again.
At 7:45 in the second quarter, Dunleavy Sr. gave the two brothers enough rest before taking advantage of a dead ball to replace them on the court. Being able to endure such a long time to replace the two brothers is thanks to Garcia's help defense, the older draft pick has enough accumulation on the defensive end and can shoot points, and if it weren't for the better Posey pressing him, he would have been able to get more playing time.
With a score of 2627, the Cavaliers led by one point.
The Clippers are still sitting off the court except for Posey, the shooting guard continues to use Mobley, and the main team has all returned to the court, and Mike Brown's vain attempt to let James take advantage of the bench to open the score has not succeeded.
James didn't rest, he was feeling tired at the moment, and in the next period of time, he began to take fewer shots and began to play more playmaking for his teammates, hoping that his teammates could help him catch his breath.
Big Z, James' most trusted teammate, stepped up when James needed him.
The Serb is almost 33 years old and the next two years will be the last two seasons he will be able to take the pressure off the youngster. Big Z has the ability to play singles in the low post, but James hardly uses it after he grows up, and focuses on mid-range shooting to attract interior defensive forces for James.
James couldn't get in today, and Da Z began to use his height to single Ji Guoqiu in the low post, trying to beat this center with excellent defense outside.
Ji Guoqiu is very passive in the face of the 221cm big z defensive end, his height and arm span are useless in front of the Serbs, the opponent uses his height not to be afraid of his block, and he succeeded in the penalty area twice in a row, and finally made him a foul this time, playing two plus one.
Mike Brown was still a little incredulous off the court, he didn't think about how to deal with the twins at all, but he didn't expect Da Z to give Ji Guoqiu two slaps and help him solve the problem.
"Damn, he has such a?" Ji Guoyan also couldn't believe it, not only him, but the other players of the Clippers and the old Dunleavy couldn't believe that he could defend Bynum from scoring only one point in the whole game, and Ji Guoqiu, who could also play well in the face of McDyce and Biedrins, would he not be able to deal with the old big z at this moment?
"He's taller, he's stronger than me, and he's not bad at being flexible." Ji Guoqiu was also very helpless in his heart, this was his second foul, and this big z seemed to restrain him a little.
When Mike Brown saw Big Z walk to the free throw line, he reacted and shouted at the player: "Give Big Z the ball and let him attack!" ”
LeBron James scolded in his heart: "I've seen it for a long time, and when you call the shots, the daylilies are cold." ”
Big Z plus a free throw, and the score became 2832 in the blink of an eye.
Ji Guoqiu was beaten twice in a row on the offensive end, but he didn't plan to return it. Staying calm on the court is both an advantage and a disadvantage, and being too rational can sometimes make him seem bloodless, as now, when most players encounter this situation, they will take the initiative to return the ball on the offensive end. Ji Guoqiu did ask for the ball, but he squeezed back twice in the low post, did not shoot, but suddenly passed a ball over the top without warning.
Artest received the basketball, and James had previously assisted the defense to the inside, giving him a brief open shot. However, the beast didn't expect Ji Guoqiu to pass the ball at all, he was still watching the play, and he was stunned for a moment when he suddenly got the basketball, and James immediately pounced again, and the opportunity to shoot was gone.
The attack ended with Artest's forced miss, and Vallejo came over to provoke Ji Guoqiu and said, "Coward!" ”
Soon he regretted it, because as soon as he finished speaking, the Brazilian actor felt a pain in his ribs, and Ji Guoshi pretended to be him, and used his iron elbow to push him inadvertently.
Vallejo scolded in his heart, this force is called inadvertent?
Old ribs don't know if they're broken?
Vallejo was also very shrewd, and immediately fell down holding his ribs, lying on the ground with half-truths and half-truths, and rolling, trying to make Ji Guo ashamed.
Ji Guoyan saw it, I can't show weakness either, so he immediately stepped on his own foot on the other party's leg, screamed and fell to the ground, and the two guys who didn't want Bilian began to roll all over the ground......
Vallejo's screaming voice suddenly raised two plus signs after Ji Guoqiu put his foot on his lap.
The Brazilian scolded in his heart, and Ji Guozhi stepped on him at the end, which was much more painful than the elbow blow at the beginning!
Dick Bavita didn't see Ji Guoyi's elbow blow at the beginning, and the second referee didn't notice the villain's small movements, and the referee only saw the two of them fall into a piece and roll on the ground.
This is different from the grappling between Rodman and Malone back then, the two fell to the ground without physical contact, they just rolled vigorously, and Dick Bavita, who was about to be 70 years old, had never seen any scenes, so he ignored the two at all, and the game continued.
Now the game became interesting, there were two less people on the court, and it suddenly became 4v4, the Cavaliers attacked, James found that the situation was in his favor, and the opponent was missing an excellent defensive inside, and immediately held the ball to the basket to kill.
Ji Guoqiu was caught in the box with Artest, even Mobley shrunk to the basket, James passed the ball to the outside in the crowd, and Daniel Gibson received the ball and hit his first scoring of the day.
"Damn, still pretending, hurry up and get up." Ji Guoqiu scolded in his heart.
Ji Guoyan saw that it was not a matter to pretend like this, so he could only reluctantly get up from the ground.
Taylor Swift watched from the sidelines, and the big screen had already replayed the performance of the two, both of whom were pretending.
Vallejo is very aggrieved, Ji Guosha's elbow hit him is not pretending, and later Ji Guosha's step on him, the part that was stepped on is still hurting, the hateful Chinese should be expelled from the field!
But the referee and the fans obviously don't think so, since he pretended at the beginning, it's really fake, it's self-inflicted.
Ji Guoshame patted his body, if he didn't judge, he wouldn't judge, anyway, he didn't suffer, and in the end he stepped on it so cool, it's worth it!
