From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 204 King vs. King, General vs. General, A Tit-for-Tat Start
Horford roared, and pulled the ball to the Celtics with a jumping height and speed that was completely inconsistent with his character and age, which shows how excited he is.

In the first attack of the game, Jianghu holds the ball and advances.

James waited for Jianghu to just pass the halfway line, and immediately pressed up!

He gave a strong confrontation, blocking Jianghu's advancement speed and dribbling fluency without fouling.

"What!? LeBron led the defense against Jiang at the beginning!"

"Turn on the intensity. Coach Tyronn Lue's decision is very decisive. He didn't even let others try to defend Lonzo, but let LeBron directly!"

"LeBron's close defense, his strength, his reaction and his physical fitness are not inferior to Jianghu in all aspects, and even better in many aspects."

"We can often hear many questions about LeBron's defensive attitude and defensive focus during the regular season, but in the playoffs, this voice disappeared. LeBron in the playoffs is really focused, in any way That's all."

overbearing!

As soon as James' defense came up, Jianghu felt the domineering defensive pressure.

Facing the bent body, concentrating on James, with a serious face, Jianghu felt as if he was under pressure even holding the ball.

You must know that the word domineering seems to be completely incompatible with James, who likes to laugh and laugh on weekdays, but Jianghu is facing this kind of defensive pressure at the moment, which is rare in his life. He has never felt such terrifying defensive pressure on an outside player before.

Even Holiday, Iguodala, Tony Allen, the defense of these top defensive players is not worth mentioning in front of the defensive pressure James put on today!
Even a superstar's performance under such a defense will be greatly reduced!

Get off the horse!
This is James' blow to the rivers and lakes!
It's not a tank breakthrough, it's not a tomahawk hack, it's defense!

James' dismounting made Jianghu's heart tense, he had already put James in a very high position, and now he found that today's James is far stronger than the James in his mind!
"Jiang, the me in the playoffs is not at the same level as the normal me."

With a serious expression, James repeated the sentence again.

"What's the difference?"

Jianghu pushed James covertly with his left hand, and then quickly moved half a step away. The basketball on his fingertips jumped back and forth around his body, accelerated, stopped suddenly, and accelerated again.

Although he didn't completely break through James' almost suffocating defense at the moment, he used the rhythm to open up a space.

jump up!Throw the ball hard at Horford!

For the first ball, Jianghu chose to play the ball inside!

James waved his big hand, trying to block the passing route, but in front of the bouncing of Jianghu, he still couldn't reach it.

The basketball flew over James' thin-haired head like a missile, and flew heavily towards Horford.

Horford took off and barely caught the pass from Jianghu.

Jianghu's passing is fast and urgent. In order to avoid James' steals, the passing route is uncomfortable, which means that an experienced and focused player like Horford can firmly control the basketball.

Horford leaned against Love and looked up!
Sure enough, George Hill flanked him...

Horford made a fake shot, and then waved his hand!
Don't look at the pass.

The basketball flies to the bottom corner!

But a player with a crimson jersey, with exaggerated speed, appeared between the basketball and Irving in the corner!

LeBron James! !
He came to Irving with extreme speed and flew the ball directly.

"This rotation speed! This rotation is more than one level higher than against the Pacers!"

"Too fast! When LeBron focuses on defense, he is a nightmare for all teams in the league."

Fortunately, although the ball was stabbed by James, James did not control the basketball.

Brown and Hill ran towards the basketball together. Without being noticed by the referee, Brown quietly stepped on Hill's heel, causing him to lose his balance slightly. Then he rushed to control the ball firmly, and then the ball Throw to the rivers and lakes.

The basketball is back in Jianghu's hands, and it has been rotated in a circle. There is no time to organize the second round of tactical moves!
24 seconds are fleeting, Jianghu must take action!

Just hit it yourself!
When has Jianghu been afraid of making a move again?

The left-handed ball protector resisted James' pushing and kneading, took a big step to the right, and pulled the ball to the top with one hand with his right hand!

James sideways!The footsteps moved quickly, and the friction between the LeBron 15th generation boots on the soles of the feet and the ground made a "creaking" noise.

Got it!
Jianghu quickly pulled the ball from his right hand back to the left, stuck James sideways, and at the same time stepped forward to break through.

Butterfly walk, Al's trick was used by Jianghu, it was a little less agile, but a little more domineering.

Get rid of the defense a little bit, stop in the rivers and lakes, collect the ball, and shoot!

In an instant, the whole body stretched like a long bow, and took off!

"Don't think about it!"

James stepped on the ground with his left foot, forcibly got rid of the inertial effect, took a big step across the river and moved to the front of the river, and also jumped up, raising his hands high!
James' wingspan is not particularly long, but his hand strength is particularly strong, and he has an absolute advantage among small forwards in the entire league.

Jiang Hu was slightly startled, he obviously flung it away, but with his explosive power and willpower he forcibly changed direction and followed him?

"So strong, as expected of a man who dares to call himself GOAT."

"If you go on like this, you will be hated!"

Leaning back, Jianghu put his center of gravity straight in the air, and fell behind when he lost his center of gravity.

The body almost formed a 30-degree angle, and the ball was thrown steadily.The basketball crossed an exaggerated arc and passed through James' fingertips, just a little bit, just a little bit, and James came from behind to complete the block.

"Jianghu's first shot was a fadeaway jumper from outside the three-point line?"

"LeBron, what kind of defense is this that allows Jiang, who averages 35 points per game, to use such a difficult move on the first ball?"

"Hit the board! Unbelievable, this goal actually scored! What kind of offense is this!?"

"The gods fight! The gods fight! I have never used this offensive and defensive round in my life. How can I play basketball like this?"

The commentators all over the world fell into madness. They never expected that Jianghu and James, the two strongest players in the league, not only played king against king and general against general at the beginning of the game, but also staged such high-quality offense and defense. confrontation.

Basketball hollow into the net!

Jiang Hu slammed his body sideways and hit the floor hard.

James put his hands on his hips and looked coldly at Jianghu lying on the ground.

Jiang Hu raised the corners of his lips with the look of a winner.

First point in the Eastern Conference finals, do you like it?

The Celtics players ran over in an instant and pulled Jianghu up from the ground.

And at this moment, the Cavaliers had already served.

Hill made a quick serve from the sideline!
Passed to Love, Love didn't even look at the ball, and threw the ball directly forward.

And a figure with a dark red jersey No. 23 running in the front field!
The jersey clung tightly to James' body, wrinkled and rippled by James' fast pace.

The front field is empty!
Jianghu just got up!

And James has already run to the Celtics half.

Running James is like a running tank, who can defend against fast breaks?
There was no one in front of me.James grabbed the ball and continued to accelerate, and took off directly after passing the free throw line!
James dunks with his trademark tomahawk and smashes the ball into the basket.

Not to mention chic and freehand.

But it's easy, James' body is so strong, if he goes all out, not to mention gliding to the free throw line, he can even go farther.

Yu Jia, who came to the sidelines to explain, said loudly:
"quick……"

"It's so fast! James' team's offensive and defensive rhythm is too fast!"

"Jianghu, who always likes to counterattack with fast breaks, meets LeBron, who is better at fast breaks. What will be the result?"

"Is this campaign going to be a campaign of running, no, flying in the sky?"

"Slam dunk near the free throw line! Alien LeBron is warning you!!!"

"LeBron spread his hands and greeted all around. He was greeted by boos and abuse from the North Shore Garden, but he seemed to be enjoying it."

"10 years ago he witnessed the Celtics in 2008, and 10 years later, he witnessed the Celtics in 2018, the same jersey color, the same top strength in the league, the difference is LeBron James or that LeBron James. Brown James, the opponent on the opposite side has long been different, and no one is the same as back then."

"This is the 15th season of LeBron James' career, but he has slipped from the peak at the end, and now he is still the omnipotent No. 23!!"

The passionate explanation of the CCTV commentator seems to bring people's memories back to the past through time and space...

Back to the era when Hukai competed for hegemony, James, Duncan, and Nowitzki each dominated...

the same moment.

"Don't stand still, serve."

Jianghu pushed Baines, and Baines quickly woke up from the shock.

What level of game am I playing?

Was it so intense at the beginning? ?

Baines sighed and quickly sent the ball to Jianghu.

And Jiang Hu's face was as calm as water, Baines looked at the young but calm Jiang Hu, and the restlessness in his heart calmed down a little.

Baines sighed in a low voice: "This little guy, I don't know what kind of magic power is on him. No matter what happens, he can keep his face calm. It's crazy."

It's a pity that he doesn't understand Chinese...

As if he understands Chinese, he must know what it means——Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his face, and the Yellow River speaks without panicking, instead of just saying "Kerry Thief"...

The reason why Jianghu was not shocked by James' free throw line dunk at all is that he made this action, which is easier than eating and drinking...

So what's so strange about this? ?
The rest of the Celtics were no surprise either.

The first time they saw Jianghu's dunk, they were shocked, the second time they were surprised, the third time, and the fourth time. During the dunk contest, they even saw Jianghu's free throw line with a windmill, the free throw line pull rod, and the free throw line. Just got used to it.

What's more, James is just a dunk that doesn't reach the free throw line.

Hold the ball!advance!
James was a little surprised by Jianghu's flat reaction.

He seemed relaxed just now, but he really worked hard to complete the dunk.

He is not young anymore, and it is really not as easy as it was 5 years ago to complete such an action. His purpose is to directly frighten the Celtics and the world at the beginning.

But Jianghu's flat reaction made him feel like he was punching the air, please, can you give me a little reaction, that's a dunk from the free throw line! ! !

But in the next second, James suddenly woke up again.

Damn, no, this brat seems to be the slam dunk king in this year's All-Star Contest. I lost to him in the slam dunk contest and ran in front of him to show off the dunk. Isn't this slam dunk kicked by a donkey? ? ?
Damn it, it seems that these difficult balls will not have a deterrent effect on Jianghu, and it is more cost-effective to save physical energy later, and score in a conventional way.

Just after halftime, James still rushed forward.

Like an old hunter who hunts animals, calm and cold-blooded.

"Aaron, come here!!!"

Jianghu is too lazy to work hard to get rid of it, it's too troublesome!
And the last goal proved that it is impossible for Horford to sit and play slowly inside. Love can withstand him, and the Cavaliers' double-team rotation speed is not very slow.

Then simply play the pick-and-roll and save some energy.

Baines popped out from the inside, and Jianghu took the opportunity to turn around and bypass Baines' side.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Jianghu made a turn and went around Baines' left side.

And James chose to bypass from the front!

The Celtics' playoff journey has reached the present, and no defensive player has chosen to go around the defensive arena.

Not only did James dare, but he succeeded!

With his nimble footsteps, he quickly slid past Baines's body like oiled soap.

After catching up with Jianghu, he returned to his normal defensive position again.

At this point, Jiang Hu's face finally changed, he frowned, James' defensive ability is simply outrageous.

Speed, power, bounce, plus stalker and veteran defensive awareness.

Why didn't I find James' defense so good before? ?His performance today is like a near-perfect defensive player, not a big killer in the playoffs.

If James devotes all his energy to the defensive end, he will become a better defender in the small ball era than Draymond Green.

Even James, who is now on offense and defense, his defense may not be comparable to few forward defensive players in history.

James' close defense is difficult, Jianghu dribbles the ball behind his right hand, and at the same time takes a step back.

At the same time, Brown went inside, Jianghu's eyes lit up, and he hit the ground and passed the ball directly.

James' position was too close, but there was no way to interfere with Jianghu's pass. The basketball passed through the crowd and came directly to Brown's hands.

Rise up!
Keep your legs together!

Brown put his hands together and walked together in two steps and three steps!Completed a forced layup over Tristan Thompson.

Celtics 5:2 Cleveland Cavaliers.

The double strikers show their power together!
James glared at Thompson with some displeasure. This center, who looked brave like an ancient general, dared not say a word.

He didn't think he was afraid of James...

But he did hang out with James again, so it's not easy to offend...

But he saw James' defensive performance just now, and his own defense was a little worse in comparison, so he has nothing to justify.

On the next ball, Love and James also tried to catch and serve quickly.

But the Celtics were prepared this time, retreating to defense, always wandering in the passing route of Hill and James.

Seeing this, Hill had no choice but to hold the ball steadily and advance.

The man defending Hill was Brown.

The Jianghu is waiting in full battle, leaning down and watching James' every move.

James seemed to be relaxed. Of course, the Warriors' tactics are still based on James, but James' habit has always been to let his teammates attack first in the first quarter.

Hill made a circle, widened to the weak side, and Love made a lob pass.

James received the ball and looked sideways at Jianghu.

"Boy, I heard that you have learned a lot of offensive tricks from me and Michael??"

"Who did you hear that from???"

Black question marks all over the face? ?

You say I learn from Jordan, understandable...

Learn from you?

What did I learn from you? ? ?
Learning to walk? ?

"It doesn't matter, because there are some things you can't learn!"

Before James finished speaking, he turned around!The speed of turning around like thunder!The left foot is the axis, and the ball protector resists Jianghu, wanting to run directly into the penalty area.

However, roots took root under Jianghu's feet, and he resisted with all his strength and did not move at all. Fortunately, James was sensitive and immediately stopped on the spot and made a jump shot.

James' physical talent coupled with emergency stops and some backs, not to mention Jianghu, even the Monkey King is not so easy to cover, Jianghu can only watch Durant throw the ball.

The shot was made.

Celtics 5:4 Cavaliers.

The Celtics are still in a tentative state at the beginning, and the Cavaliers seem to let James go all out to take over the offense from the beginning. At the same time, he has to defend the Celtics' most difficult perimeter on the defensive end. Player arena.

It's hard to guard against.

Jianghu frowned, he was very familiar with James' movements, but he still couldn't prevent the attack just now!
Not only is the explosive speed of turning around too fast, but also the rhythm of offense changes. What's more, James has excellent shooting stability this year. Such an offensive threat is really scary.

When James can perfectly combine his physical fitness and offensive skills, how should his offense be defended?
But isn't it the fun of basketball to fight against such players?
The fighting spirit in Jianghu is high, and they will continue to invest in the next attack.

"The Celtics and Cavaliers scored in the first two offenses. I thought this round of the series might be a defensive battle like a meat machine, but it seems that we still underestimated these quacks and LeBron's offense. ability."

"If I want to say that every time they defend, they can't do better. If the scale is bigger, it will be a foul, but they can still score. This is terrifying."

"I don't think we should worry. The defensive intensity of both sides will continue to increase. When the coach feels that LeBron or Jiang's scoring efficiency after defending each other is still higher than that of role players, then soon two, three, or even more Defenders will be in front of them."

Stevens lowered his eyes slightly, while Tylen Lue also smiled and watched the game calmly.

The offense and defense in the first two rounds were completely within their expectations, and they will not make adjustments accordingly.

Jianghu and James are two players who cannot be completely prevented from death, and the two coaches never thought of strangling them.

This is a fantasy, if these superstars can be strangled, then the superstars will not be so valuable.

In the next round, Irving advanced with the ball.

In the face of the world without the ball, James' defense is still very sticky. Three consecutive rounds of defense and two offenses did not make him relax at all.

On this ball, Irving passed the ball to Brown.

Brown and Horford hit each other at the top of the arc.

Then Jianghu made an empty cut and reversed the inside line!

Jianghu's off-the-ball counter-running and cutting is a must, especially when he has an advantage in height, weight and speed compared to most outside players, he can easily shake off the opposing player and reach the basket to complete the dunk.

But this time James once again accurately judged the running position of Jianghu, and he followed him like a shadow.

Such a strong defense with the ball, but also so strong without the ball?

James took doping? ?Still got an injection? ?

It doesn't matter, the fiercer he is, the more I want to kill him.

Jianghu is also excited, his blood seems to be burning and boiling at the moment.

Brown didn't find a suitable shot opportunity, and he didn't have room to attack with the ball in the high position.

Jianghu ran out of the three-point line from the penalty area again, crossing positions with Brown!
Only then did Jianghu choose to catch the ball!The moment the ball was received near the free throw line, in addition to James' defense, Hill's double-team also came!
Brown has no chance to attack in the high position, so Hill simply gave up defending Brown and turned directly to defending Jianghu.
James and Hill.

A multiple first defensive team, even almost won the best defensive player, a Pacers peak, the most unshakable starter, two excellent defensive players at the same time defend the face of the world! !
The situation is very bad. If the ball is not careful, it is very likely to make a mistake. If such a mistake occurs twice, the offensive state may be greatly reduced.

But Jianghu wants to pass the ball?

Pass a fart! !Do not pass! !

The two of you are the elite, I'm fucking the elite! !

The arena is to vote for yourself!

James looms head-on, his strong arms sweeping around for the steal.

Hill pressed on the side, his face expressionless, but his body movements with fangs and claws looked quite fierce.

But Jianghu didn't panic at all, he even played with his feet, jumped right to avoid Hill, then turned left on the spot and swayed!
"Unpredictable feint! LeBron and George Hill almost knocked each other!"

"Fake action, Jianghu turns to the right, takes a big step across, and then takes another step."

"Lean forward and make the jump shot!"

"One against two! Jianghu has steadily created his shooting space!"

"The feint even made both LeBron and George Hill stunned! Incredibly deceitful!"

"Go again! Hit the board and get into the basket!"

"Celtics 7:4 Cleveland, Jianghu scored again!!!"

"After the opening, Jianghu's offensive rhythm was very good, 2 for 2 and contributed to Brown's political assistance."
