As the referee throws the ball up, the game officially begins.
The starting lineup of the Cavaliers is center Ilgauskas and power forward Tony Barty. This person originally came to the Magic in exchange with Gooden and Varejao. Everyone knows the old Beijing small forward and point guard.
Snow, shooting guard Jeff McGinnis, or you can replace these two.
The Magic still have the familiar five starters.
In fact, the Cavaliers are very unlucky this season. They have been experiencing bad luck before the game even started, and news spread frequently.
In the summer, first the team's assistant coach Osowoski died unexpectedly, and then the three-point shooter Kapono, who was unexpectedly discovered in the second half of last season, was picked up by the Bobcats in the expansion draft, and then was replaced by Boozer.
As soon as it arrived, coach Silas's original tactical plan for the new season was completely disrupted.
Historically, after Boozer left, Cavaliers president Parison traded with the Magic in exchange for Gooden, which made up for some of the losses inside. But before Parison could make up his mind this season, Gooden had already been transferred to the Magic.
It was a waste of money to send him to the Bobcats. There are no other good inside options in the league, so the Cavaliers can only pin their hopes on Ilgauskas recovering from injury and regaining his form.
But this is not over yet. In August, James, the team's hope, was eliminated by Argentina in Athens and became the first member of the Dream Team to fail to win the championship. As the hope of the future, James received a lot of criticism, and James
Everyone knows about his psychological quality, so he did not perform well in the first few games of the new season.
It has been stumbling since the start of the new season. The team is not strong when it is weak, and really weak when it is strong. It is quite stable, with not big fluctuations.
After Howard passed the ball to Nash, he quickly rushed towards the Cavaliers' basket. He and Nash just discussed it in the tunnel. Didn't the coach say that Ilgauskas is great? Then I will hit him when I come up.
have a look.
Howard jumped and ran fast. By the time he rushed into the paint, Ilgauskas had just stepped into the three-point line.
"This is going downhill. I'll dunk one first to kill their spirit." Howard thought happily.
Sure enough, Nash threw the ball to the basket from outside. "Good pass~" Howard yelled, pulled away Snow in front, and prepared to jump for a dunk.
But as soon as he jumped, he felt something was wrong. The ball didn't look like it was passed, but it seemed like it could go in.
So he didn't dare to take action, and then with a "swish" sound, the ball hit the net hollowly, making it a three-pointer.
Howard turned back and looked at Nash with a puzzled look on his face, his eyes full of resentment of being deceived, "Brother, didn't we agree that I would dunk?"
While Nash waved him to quickly return to defense, he explained, "You rushed and took away Snow in front of me. When I saw that no one was guarding me, I'm sorry if I don't shoot the three-point line. Don't worry, next round
You play a pick-and-roll for me, and I'll let you dunk one."
When Howard heard this, he didn't know what to do. Nash was right.
Turning around to the Cavaliers' offense, the Cavaliers' offense is actually very simple. Others pull away, hand the ball to James, and then see if he attacks it himself or passes it out.
Sure enough, after halftime, Snow honestly gave the ball to James.
Everyone else pulled away to watch James play Marion in isolation.
After James caught the ball, he made a fake shot. Marion didn't take it, he just raised his hand and shook it.
After completing the fake move, James began to force a breakthrough.
Generally speaking, breakthroughs are divided into two categories, cross-step breakthroughs and same-side step breakthroughs.
The cross step is more about shaking the opponent's center of gravity. You first pretend to move to one side, wait for the opponent's center of gravity to move that way, and then quickly hit the ball to the other end without slowing down during the whole process and giving the opponent no chance to react. Especially
It is especially useful when the small one hits the big one, and it is accurate every time. From Iverson to Rose, and now Irving, they are all mid-range masters and are proficient in this skill...
But this kind of breakthrough is not what James is good at. Now he uses more side-step breakthroughs.
After James finished his fake move in front of Marion, he took a step forward with his right foot, pushed hard with his left foot, carried Marion on his left shoulder, and rushed past him from his left side. If the center of gravity of the cross step is shaken, it is a technical skill.
If you rely on other people's skills, it is much simpler to step on the same side. What you see is the instantaneous burst of speed and power, which is a representative of the body's breakthrough. If you are slower than me, I can pass; if you are softer than me, I can pass.
, simple and domineering, especially suitable for James.
Although Marion is also a powerful player, but that is compared with others, and he is really not good enough in front of James. But Edison’s layout in this game is very clear. You are not required to guard him, but you must pester him.
, consuming his physical strength.
So Marion opened his arms and puffed out his chest, trying to cause trouble for James. But after two steps, he was completely squeezed away by James and could no longer exert any influence on him.
Howard, who was on the inside, saw that Marion had been breached and quickly came to make up the defense.
"Look, the new No. 1 pick is here to guard my James. Let our little emperor teach him what NBA is." The Cavaliers' home announcer said with a stinking look on his face.
The physical fitness of Howard and James is both at the World of Warcraft level. When they take off their clothes, the muscles on their bodies are carved out of marble, and then brushed with tung oil, they are black, shiny and swollen, one after another, with clear lines. Howard
Jumped up, James jumped up too, and the two had intense physical contact in the air.
With a "bump" sound, the two people bumped into each other hard.
Although Howard has the advantage in height, the two men are about the same weight, and James rushed over with strong inertia, so the result of this collision was that the taller Howard lost.
But as the saying goes, a loser doesn't lose a face. Howard saw that his body was defeated, but you can't score a goal easily. So he swept his hands sideways, hit James' hand with a "pop", and then swatted the ball away.
Go down.
The referee himself went on to instruct that James should be taken care of on the court, not to mention that a blind man like this could hear the thug's foul.
Howard looked nonchalant after landing, raising his hands to indicate he accepted the foul.
Because it was just the beginning of the game, there were no free throws, and the Cavaliers had a sideline kick.
The ball was given to James again. Marion and Howard had a head-on confrontation with him just now, which made James a little angry, so the scene repeated it again.
However, this time James broke through Marion faster and did not give Howard the opportunity to make up defense immediately.
By the time Howard turned around, James had already jumped up. Howard knew that it would be useless to go up again this time, and it would have to be a foul, so he could only salute under the basket.
"Le~Bron~James, beautiful one-handed chop." The audience also followed the DJ's voice and let out huge cheers.
Edison looked at the audience around him with disdain, "I've never seen anyone in the world get so excited about dunking like this."
So Edison whistled to the court, drawing the attention of the Magic players to himself, and then stretched out a finger and made a "1" gesture.
Everyone should still remember what this tactic represents.
Howard originally wanted to come up and dunk, but failed. Then he lost a physical battle with James. Finally, he was used as the background for another dunk. Naturally, he was very unhappy.
"I'll do it." Howard said to Nash as he ran past him.
Turning around, Nash also helped Howard, allowing him to play a pick-and-roll with him. After blocking Snow, Nash and Howard quickly cut to the basket.
After all, Ilgauskas's legs were weak. After reaching the high post, his retreat to the basket was much slower than the two of them...
After Nash got rid of Ilgauskas, he was about to pass to Howard under the basket. Nash was about to hit the ground and pass the ball when he heard Howard shout, "Throw it high, the higher the better."
Since Howard made the request sincerely, Nash mercifully complied with him. In order to prevent the pass from being destroyed and to maintain the success of the alley-oop, Nash's ball passed over Ilgauskas' head. White, was
Howard, who was wearing a white uniform, took over.
Howard jumped very high, almost 1 meter above the ground by visual inspection. After getting the ball from the basket, Howard had an obvious lag in the air. He put his hands behind his back, then exerted force from his waist, through his back, and his arms increased.
, smashed the ball into the basket like a comet hitting the earth. Why haven't you seen a comet hit the earth? Don't worry, it will take 4 days. You will see it in 4 days.
The force was so great that the basket dropped 30 degrees, which made people marvel at the quality and it was not broken.
The home DJ was so panicked that he blurted out "Oh, mygod." He even forgot to mention the name of the scorer.
The fans below were also dumbfounded. The players around the backboard were all dumbfounded. They covered their mouths and did not speak or make a sound. They communicated with each other through their eyes, "Did you see it? Is it true?". "I see."
Here it is, it’s real.”
The fans in Li Diyuan didn't feel so shocked, but they were still shocked. They kept saying "Wow", "Oh" and "**".
But the most exciting thing was the Magic's bench. When Edison stretched out his finger and asked for an alley-oop, they were ready to celebrate, but they didn't expect Howard to play so violently, so arrogantly, and so disrespectful to the home court.
After scoring a goal, some people waved towels, some waved their clothes, and the civilized ones just said "yeah", while the uncivilized ones just cursed.
Edison raised his left arm high, then changed his palm into a fist, and then slowly extended his index finger, looking at the Cavaliers' coaching bench with a cold face.
Unexpectedly, this scene was clearly captured by the camera. Edison was originally young, with a rectangular face, a tall nose and big eyes, and was very handsome. Now his appearance is full of domineering and evil feeling. So the second
Many media outlets picked up this shot for the day's illustrations about this game, and then a group of commentators and industry insiders began to interpret it, believing that this was a declaration of war by the new generation of coaches led by Edison against the older generation.
Of course, Edison is actually the only coach of the new generation, and he cannot represent others.
However, more people (mainly women) paid attention not to the inner meaning, but to Edison himself. His appearance was too imposing and manly, so they became obsessed with Edison's index finger, so that later some
The company obtained the rights to Edison's image and made a model of his gesture, known as the "Golden Finger" and "Hand of God", which was sold exclusively to Edison's female fans.
