At this moment, James, who was knocked out of bounds, was a little confused, but when he heard Wang Zelin's voice ringing in his ears, he immediately realized what had just happened...
Have you been detained?
When he understood this fact, he immediately thought of the headlines of the major news media the next day, and anger instantly surged into his heart.
But he stood firm, took a deep breath, adjusted, and suppressed his anger. He raised his head and looked at Wang Zelin coldly:
"The real battle begins now!"
With that said, he picked up the ball and handed it to Irving.
At the beginning, the Trail Blazers were caught off guard and beat the team 6-2, especially when James himself was dunked by a young man named Wang Zelin. This made the Cavaliers, who were originally playing away games, weaker and weaker in terms of momentum.
Cavaliers' attack.
James ignored Irving's request for the ball at the top of the arc, and before the Trail Blazers' formation had stabilized, he suddenly accelerated towards Matthews.
Wang Zelin had just dunked James, and Batum quickly realized that he and James would definitely want to regain face this time, so he obviously let James go, just to prevent James from breaking through.
However, after seeing this, James still ignored him and directly changed direction to the right and accelerated.
"Stop looking down on others!"
Batum was roaring in his heart, gritted his teeth, and came forward.
"Bang!"
The bodies of the two collided, but James was only blocked for a moment before he knocked away the defender and quickly rushed inside.
At this time, Wang Zelin was trapped by Kausin.
Although Cousins is a typical strong offensive and defensive type, his tonnage is there. Apart from Wang Zelin, there are few heavy centers in the league. When he decided to fight desperately, Wang Zelin could not help him.
Get rid of your opponent for a while.
In fact, every NBA star is one of a kind. Unless they have obvious physical shortcomings, the rest are all talented representatives. As long as they have a correct attitude, their defensive ability will not be much worse.
The typical representative is the various physical fights and countless little moves between Kobe and Anthony when the Lakers faced the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals in the 2008-09 season.
If we were to follow the standards of the later small ball era, every physical collision between Kobe and Anthony in that series would have been blown away.
Seeing that Wang Zelin still couldn't get rid of his opponent, Coach Terry's heart suddenly lifted. Then he looked at the basket and slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he found Aldridge inside.
But then, James quickly explained to people what it means to be "the king of straight-line breakthroughs in the NBA!"
In terms of straight-line breakthroughs alone, James is definitely the best in NBA history.
Trail Blazers basket.
Seeing James getting closer and closer, and then jumping up directly, Aldridge hurriedly jumped to block the shot, but during the aerial confrontation, Aldridge clearly felt that he was at a disadvantage.
"boom!"
The home fans suddenly stopped cheering, opened their mouths, looked at James with dull eyes, jumped up, and pushed the ball into the basket through Aldridge!
"beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and signaled Aldridge's defensive foul.
The familiar Zhan style battle ax!
The familiar dunk!
And...familiar 2 1!
The face he had just lost was quickly recovered by James' actions, and it was a more brutal 2 1 than the one Wang Zelin had just dunked on him!
"Oh, my god! Who can tell me what happened just now?"
Even the home commentator couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
James once again used his monster physique to prove that he is so unstoppable when he rushes forward!
Short corner area on the right side of the basket.
Wang Zelin's ears suddenly echoed again what James had just said:
"The real battle begins now!"
If that's the case, let's fight!
Feeling the gaze from James, Wang Zelin also showed a cruel sneer on his face.
"Duang!"
James' extra penalty shot is a very familiar script, and it is worthy of the nickname "the best of two human free throws" in the fans' mouth.
4:6, the Trail Blazers are still in the lead.
Come back.
Aldridge is playing Varejao in the low post in the frontcourt. Aldridge, who just mentioned the background version, is also full of energy in his heart and wants to fuck you.
After testing the frame for a few times, Aldridge took a step forward, forcing Varejao to retreat, turned around and hit a fadeaway mid-range shot.
This is great news for Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers.
As long as Aldridge opens up this point, the Cavaliers will not dare to double-team Wang Zelin easily.
When the Cavaliers attack, James still holds the ball.
James couldn't be more fake from outside the three-point line, pretending to rush in, and then took a sudden cold arrow from the same spot, and his shot was very decisive.
Of course, Batum's forward blocking action was more decisive.
"Whoosh!"
Basketball goes hollow into the net.
He still didn't guard against it.
This makes people very helpless.
However, this is also in line with James's consistent style of three-pointers.
As long as the rhythm is good, no matter how good the defender is, he can't interfere with James' sudden cold arrows from the outside.
Especially after four years of college with the Heat, James's offensive skills have become more comprehensive. He can practice post-ups and three-pointers, and basically has no offensive blind spots on the court.
This is also the scary thing about James.
Because no matter how the times change, he can always keep up with the iteration of the version.
At this time, the game lasted for more than 3 minutes. As James hit a cold arrow, the Cavaliers were 7:8 and only trailed by 1 point.
Coach Terry reached out and called a timeout.
At this time, it no longer matters whether the Cavaliers' momentum is rising or not, he must find a way to limit James' performance.
After all, James is the most effective player in the active league after all. In terms of points, James is also capable of ending a game on his own.
Judging from the 5 points he scored in a row from inside and outside shots just now, the thirty-year-old man's state tonight is indeed the best. Batum alone is obviously no match for the old man.
No, we can't let James score anymore.
After returning from the timeout, Wang Zelin provided support from the high post and passed the ball to Lillard. Lillard displayed the style of the league's top shooter and made a three-pointer.
At 11:7, the Trail Blazers continued to hold the lead.
"Come on, pioneers!"
This three-pointer set the Rose Garden Arena on fire, and the fans cheered endlessly.
Coach Terry also nodded with satisfaction. Both the inside towers were opened, and Lillard's preparation point was also opened.
Judging from past experience, when the Blazers' three cores inside and outside can score on the court, judging from the offensive capabilities of the three of them, the three of them can really beat their opponents to death in 3-on-5.
Thinking of this, Coach Terry's mood instantly calmed down.
Humph, so what if you Cavaliers have James? Our Blazers also have strong legs, and three of them!
