When James is holding the ball, Smith is guarding him. Perhaps among this generation of players, the only one who can come close to James in physical fitness is Josh Smith, but his skills, basketball IQ and use of the body are far behind.
Far weaker than James, James said to Smith: "Boy, I heard that you participated in the dunk contest. Today I will teach you how to dunk."
Although Josh Smith will be called the Eagle King in the future, and many teams are willing to offer him a large contract close to the maximum salary, it can be said with certainty that Josh Smith is an overvalued player.
, his abilities are still far from the top, as can be seen from his many confrontations with James, and this rookie game also became the beginning of James' abuse of Smith for many years, and Smith has always been called
As a poor version of James, this has become something he has been reluctant to mention throughout his career.
I saw James' shoulders swaying slightly, and after Smith's center of gravity shifted slightly, James quickly cut inside, trying to get a powerful dunk, but James ignored Howard, although his defensive ability was definitely
He is overrated, but it is undeniable that he is absolutely monster-level in terms of defense and blocking. At 2.12 meters tall, he can kiss the basket. You can imagine how high his reach is. James is anxious now.
He was anxious to perform, but Howard was waiting for him and gave James a big block in the air. Since the strength and jumping height of the two people are relatively close, there was a gap when his colleague pressed the ball in the air.
After a pause, the ball did not fly out directly, but fell. Luol Deng was one step ahead of Anthony and took the ball into his own hands.
Milicic was about to tease James, but who knew that this guy actually hit Luol Deng's hand angrily. When he knocked the ball down, he remembered the referee's whistle. Despite this, James still took the ball and dunked it.
Got into the basket.
This move somewhat dissatisfied the first-year team, but James was the pride of heaven, and everyone had nothing to say. After all, it would not be too pleasant to offend a superstar. In the future, if he is on the same team, he may need to
Rely on people's breath.
The second-year attack ended in failure, but looking back, the first-year team was not to be outdone. Ben Gordon had just dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, and when everyone didn't pay much attention to it, Milicic remembered this guy.
Terrible. He quickly shouted: "Guard his shot!"
But it was too late to say this. When Ben Gordon dribbled to the three-point line, he saw that Ridnour's defense was a little lax, so he opened his hand and hit a three-pointer. Ben Gordon's posture
His movements reminded Ridnour, who was guarding him, of his team's big brother - Ray Allen.
Ben Gordon's ball went hollow into the basket. The moment the ball was thrown, the entire stadium was still. After the ball went in, everyone reacted for a second and then immediately made a sound like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
Sometimes it is not necessarily the gorgeous dunks that are pleasing to the eye on the basketball court. In fact, the beautiful combination of shooting and passing will also let people see the beauty of sports. The stretch of Ben Gordon's action just now is breathtaking.
The sidelines of the rookie game were already filled with All-Star players, and they all came to see their younger brothers’ performance. For example, Pierce came to see Milicic and others, Iverson came to see Iguodala, and Ray Allen also came.
After seeing Ben Gordon's shot, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head and said to Lewis next to him: "This is us from Connecticut. Look at where he is when he jumps up and where he is when he falls..."
In recent years, those abnormal shooting guards with accurate shooting all came from the University of Connecticut. Ray Allen, the best three-point shooter in history, Hamilton, who can beat Jordan in the mid-range shot, and the best sixth man in front of him.
?Gordon, the three of them can be said to be the three most accurate shooting guards.
Ray Allen on the sidelines couldn't help but think of his good days in college, and kept talking, which was contrary to his usual personality. Pierce sitting next to him also thought of his glory days in college. At that time, the team still had
There was LaFrenz, a big man who was good both offensively and defensively, with height, bounce and even the ability to shoot three-pointers. At that time, LaFrenz was like Milicic. He was a rare talent and a good teammate.
It's just fate. By the time LaFrentz came to help Pierce, he was already half useless, so he was also traded away in the trade. The Celtics wanted to give Milicic room to grow.
.
However, Pierce had no objection at all to this newcomer who had driven away his old teammates. Pierce looked at Milicic galloping on the court and thought: This guy might give me a taste of the championship.
Pierce recalled the college duo on the sidelines, but there was a real college duo on the court. Okafor and Ben Gordon were teammates in college and they were roommates at the same time. The two had a tacit understanding.
There's really nothing to say.
Although the second-year team is relatively capable, no one has ever played together, while the first-year team quickly developed tactics around Ben Gordon and Okafor, one inside and one outside.
Wade, who is more flexible and quick to react, switched positions to guard Ben Gordon, but Gordon suddenly moved to the right after dribbling twice. When Wade wanted to follow up, he found that he seemed to have been hit.
Like a big mountain, when you look up, Okafor has blocked himself tightly through the pick-and-roll, and over there, Ben Gordon took advantage of the gap when he fell to shoot another three-pointer.
The ball hit again. Although it is not difficult for the second-year team to score, it seems that the first-year team scores more easily. Moreover, the second-year team suffers from the fact that Milicic is the only pure insider. Although James and Anthony are more comprehensive
, his strength and jumping are also good, but he is not the same as an inside player in an absolute sense. Especially since the two people on the opposite side have been the league's top rebounders throughout their careers.
Because after rebounding was guaranteed, Ben Gordon became more confident in shooting.
It was obviously the second-year team that was teaching the first-year team, but after playing for 5 minutes, the second-year team found that they had lost more than ten points to the first-year team. And Ben, who had already gone crazy with stealing? Gordon could not restrain him no matter what.
, James specially came out to defend Ben Gordon alone, but Gordon was not as easy to deal with as expected. He could shoot a three-pointer as long as he had a little gap, and this guy really scored when he shot.
The second grade team is lagging behind, which is really unexpected... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
