Chapter 535: The Change of Warriors

After five seasons of training, James has grown into a top star, and his finishing ability is the best in the league, not because he has a great finishing ability, but because he has a shooting percentage when he starts an offense.

After saying what he wanted to teach Chamberlain a lesson, James had to do what he said, he had to pass the ball and attack independently, receive the ball from the backcourt and start to accelerate and run, so that after he passed half court, he had accelerated to the highest level, West wanted to defend, but James did not run in a straight line, and he occasionally made moves to change direction, and there was no trace at all.

But West is a bull temper, the stronger James is, the higher his fighting spirit, and he scolds 'damn' in his mouth, and he runs with his feet and chases behind.

James was born in football, when he was in high school, he was still the first runner on the school football court, and the length of the entire basketball court was nearly 30 meters, which was enough for him to charge.

Chamberlain ran wildly, but he was a center after all, and no matter how fast he was on the inside, it couldn't be compared to the outside. Curry followed silently, West's efforts turned into water, he couldn't keep up with James, but just as James hit the free throw area, Curry killed from the wing and stopped James at once.

James picked up the ball and made a three-step layup, his strong frame making him look like a heavy tank, and the thin and handsome Curry was a thin fortress.

"Get out of the way!" Chamberlain yelled from behind.

Curry showed a hint of determination on his face, his body is indeed average, but this has nothing to do with his courage, many people in the NBA have the appearance and figure of a tough guy are actually just cowards and cowards, and some people are real tough guys despite their thin physique!

Curry is the latter.

Everyone thought James was going to bump into Curry, and they were amazed by the latter's courage, and if James bumped into him, he would definitely eat an offensive foul.

However, they underestimated the little emperor, if they only had the ability to rampage, how could the little emperor command the three armies to sweep the NBA?

Facing Curry who rushed up, James suddenly raised the ball in his lower abdomen above his head, he flicked his wrist, twisted his knee sideways and twisted his waist, threw the ball directly to the rebound, and at the same time deftly turned around and knocked Curry away without a trace and continued to rush to the hoop.

"Not good!" Billupston on the bench screamed, and Iverson shook his head, they knew what James was going to do!

A huge figure flew into the air, James turned around and jumped up after taking two steps again, he looked at the ball that hit the rebound and then bounced back, his eyes were orange, he jumped high and stretched out his hands vigorously, just to catch the rebounding ball, and then suddenly straightened his waist, his eyes were level with the hoop, and he smashed the ball into the hoop for a while, like a blacksmith wielding a hammer.

Assault on the field, one dragon! Throw yourself and grab yourself, God is violent buckle!

After James landed on the ground, he slapped his chest and yelled at the fans around him, and the fans did not disappoint him, screaming wildly: "LBJ, MVP!" ”

"The King of Cleveland! The king of quick loan centers! ”

"The king of the championships! Go teach other teams a lesson! ”

James's attack is hot, perfectly demonstrating his dominance: the speed of the wind, the explosiveness of a leopard, the momentum of a lion, the agility of a reindeer, and his physical excellence is undoubted, no wonder the Cleveland media claim that any team with LBJ is equal to having a chance to win the championship.

However, the Warriors quickly hit back, and instead of letting Chamberlain go single, they showed a pattern of offense that other teams feared:

West pulled up Curry to ask what was going on, and the latter shook his head to make sure he wasn't injured, and he took the ball and pushed to the frontcourt, where Curry passed the ball to West in the face of Mo's aggressive defense. West rose up to the ground in front of James' defense, but still didn't shoot and passed the ball to Chamberlain, who was inside.

Seeing Chamberlain receive the ball, Big Z and Big Ben immediately sandwiched it, Chamberlain gave the ball to Evans, who stepped under the basket after getting the ball and jumped up to dunk!

This attack is unexpected, the Warriors' offensive level is not to say, and in their team, the worst attack is Evans, but Evans's offense just now was too easy.

James passed the ball to his teammates, Szzambiak singled Morrow, he relied on his height and strength, and turned around to shoot after crushing, but unfortunately the ball hit the iron and popped up, Chamberlain grabbed the rebound under the bag of Big Ben and Big Z, Nelson Sr. called a timeout, replaced Morrow with Hill, West returned to point guard, and Hill became a small forward.

Curry attacked Hill to cover, and after the two blocked and dismantled, Curry passed back, Hill and Szczebiak were entangled face-to-face, West rushed forward from the flank, and Szczebiak got stuck with Szczebiak's pass to West, and at the same time turned and hit James.

West seized the opportunity to rush into the box, and Big Ben threw his hand to make up for it, and West jumped up and threw the ball to the hoop.

Yes, it was to throw it over, not to aim and shoot, and after he threw the ball on the hoop, a domineering figure thundered on the ground, and suddenly received the ball and smashed it into the hoop.

Chamberlain!

James was greatly dissatisfied with the lack of strength from his teammates, but he still patiently organized the offense, and he also wanted to lead the team to play a team offense, but the Warriors' defensive strategy changed, and they adopted a tight 2-3 joint defense, which is why Hill came on the court, the old Hill's defensive ability is average, but he has a high ball quotient, is a lubricant, and he can always find the loopholes in the joint defense process in time to check and fill the gaps.

James made several passes and finally the ball was in his hands, and he was caught by Hill and West, time was running out, James had no choice but to jump and shoot, but he didn't shoot a three. Seeing this, Barkley covered his eyes and laughed, and the Cavaliers fans in front of the TV wanted to hit him.

Then the Warriors interspersed the offense, the Cavaliers' defense was chaotic, seeing this, Hill immediately passed the ball to Chamberlain, Chamberlain got the ball and hit the restricted area to hook a layup, but was recognized by Big Ben, his hook hand was interfered with and bounced out, but he then grabbed the offensive rebound, turned around and dunked to attract the opponent to jump, and then slipped to the bottom line to cover Hill's three-step layup.

Fans clearly feel that the Warriors' offense is easy and simple, and the team's lineup is in an orderly manner, both offensively and defensively. This is actually normal, because the Warriors' offense and defense have always been organized, but there is a premise that Billups controls the game, but now, Billups is not playing!

As we all know, the core of the Warriors' system is Chamberlain, and the core of operation is Billups, when Billups was absent, although the Warriors won many games, but they all relied on Chamberlain's fierce domineering to win. As the saying goes, this style of play is not advisable, no matter how good Chamberlain is, he can't be strong for 100 games in a row, and the championship team has to play 100 games in a season.

But now it seems that Billups is on the court, although the Warriors have a smooth rotation, but when he is not on the court, Curry can also organize the team to attack and defend smoothly. In addition, others are becoming familiar with their positions and the characteristics of their teammates, who cover each other, complement each other, and become a terrible team.

The Pistons Five Tigers and the current Spurs did this well.

Evans jumped up to catch James' three-no-stick, he threw it to West and ran forward, West didn't stick the ball, ran a few steps with the ball and gave it to Curry, which was very natural, and the players felt that it was taken for granted.

Curry pushed sideways and waved his teammates to get in place, Chamberlain helped him cover in the high post, he took the opportunity to shake off Xiao Mo and ran inside, took away the big Z and passed the ball back, Chamberlain got the ball in the high post and jumped to shoot, but finally still handed the ball back to Curry.

Curry was as nimble as a fish on the inside, and Ben Wallace, the former best defensive player, could do nothing about it, and after a few feints, Curry shook his position and watched Curry easily jump and shoot.

James still chose to control the ball and organize the offense by himself, he roared again and again, and his teammates ran reasonably under his arrangement. But this is not a good thing, James's all-around can make the other players of the Cavaliers lose their sense of position, they don't know what they are playing, Xiao Mo has no ball in his hands, and can only stand outside the three-point line on the wing in a stupid daze.

Big Z missed the shot, but then he grabbed a defensive rebound, passed to James, and the latter assisted Szzebiak on a long-range shot.

However, the Warriors' counterattack was very ferocious, Curry hit a jumper, West stole James's pass and assisted Chamberlain to hit a hook shot under the basket again.

James was furious, and then launched a strong individual single skills, Hill had no way to crush James's pure power, after Chamberlain defended, James passed the basket twice in a row, assisted his teammates to attack, the scores of the two teams rose alternately and stalemate, and the second quarter ended, and the Warriors maintained a slight lead at 51-47.

In the third quarter, Chamberlain did not play again, he sat on the bench, and the Warriors replaced him with Evans + Ibaka + Jackson + West + Billups. This lineup seems to have no bright spots, and the Warriors without Chamberlain are always particularly unsettling, not to mention that Iverson, the No. 2 core, did not play this time.

But the Warriors' play surprised the Cavaliers, as soon as James missed a jumper, Evans picked up the rebound and passed to Billups, West rushed directly to the basket from the right wing, Billups came with an assist across the halfcourt, and he played a time difference and sent the ball into the hoop.

Gibson, who came off the bench, immediately returned with a three-pointer, and in turn, Billups also returned a three-pointer for the Cavaliers. James led the fast-break dunk again, and West caught up with him and pulled him down again, which made James indignant, but the little emperor is a civilized man, so he can only complain but not do anything about it.

Complaining is of no use to people like West, because a scoundrel like him has no other merit than being thick-skinned.

In the opening game, Lowry caused Daniels to foul and hit both free throws, but Max singled Landry and it was 2+1. But then Wolf assisted Hayes and Landry to score, and Barry Sr. hit a three-pointer from the right wing, and the Rockets quickly hit a 12-3 attack to widen the gap to eight points. The Hornets gradually narrowed the gap after returning to the main lineup, and with more than 4 minutes left in the quarter, the Rockets' lead had been reduced to 2 points, and the Rockets did not score a point in a few minutes. Then the Rockets were still unable to change the embarrassing situation, and Paul made two free throws to tie the score at 41. Despite Mutombo's back-to-back blocks, the Rockets were unable to score and were very passive, with Artest missing all eight of his first eight shots. It took Scola to break the scoring drought for the Rockets in the last 57 seconds of the quarter, and the Rockets trailed the Hornets 44-47 at halftime.

James hit one of two free throws, the second free throw was snatched away by Ibaka, Billups organized the attack, and five seconds later Ibaka threw off Vallejo with Evans, and Billups threw the ball to the hoop and played an aerial relay with him.

Szczebiak was quite sluggish today, and perhaps this had something to do with the fact that West, who was defending him at this time, was more motivated, and he missed a jumper at the top of the arc, shook his head and ran off the court in frustration.

Evans grabbed the rebound and threw it to West, who scored on a fast break like a sharp arrow, and the Cavaliers adapted to Billups' unhurried and unhurried organizational rhythm, and for a moment West's confusion.

Unconsciously, five minutes into the third quarter, the Warriors stretched the score advantage to double digits again, but the question is when will they increase the score? The Cavaliers players were confused for a while, the current warriors are not like warriors, the aggression is like fire and disappears, replaced by immobility like a mountain!
