From South China Tiger to NBA King

James seems to have found his game form. His breakthrough was limited by the Celtics, but his shooting touch today was pretty good.

James, who shoots well, has always been difficult to defend. If you don't believe it, just ask the 2012 Celtics.

Jiang Hu disagreed with the "Eye of Death" that fans crazily advocated in that game, but he believed that it was indeed the best playoff game in James' career.

Better than any game in his career, even better than the 65-point game James scored against the Celtics last season.

In G2012 of the 6 Eastern Conference Finals, James reached his own watershed. Before the decision incident, he was considered a data brush without dominance. He hated this statement, and then he joined the Heat.

It's not as explosive as Durant's "Toughest Road," but it's almost as explosive.

James thought he could win the championship easily, and then he messed up everything in the finals that year...

Of course, he also succeeded in two things in the finals that year. The first thing was to imitate someone else's cough, and the second thing was: "Eight-point release of military power."

That season also successfully made Wade understand one thing later, that is: although it is not an easy task to become James' opponent, becoming James' teammate is absolutely fatal.

James before G2012 of the 6 Eastern Conference Finals can be summed up by the words of 76ers star Embiid: Some people win MVP, but achieve nothing in the playoffs.

What's more, James still won 3 MVPs...

The Heat led the Celtics 2-1, and then the Celtics relied on their strong defense to rebound for two consecutive games, and then...

The strongest James appears...

Today's James has some of the style of that game. The difference from that day is that James' mentality has calmed down. He is now a player with 4 MVPs and 3 FMVPs. Although he is not as good as Jordan, he is already Most people in history have more honors.

And he also has a genius idea: that is, to extend his career as long as possible, and then complete the only epic achievement in history of 40000 points + 10000 rebounds + 10000 assists.

With one minute left in the game, the Celtics led the Lakers 121 to 119.

Last season, the Cavaliers and Celtics played 6 games throughout the season, and James only won 2 games despite all his efforts. Today, in the first meeting of the season, he has a chance to defeat Jianghu. Not only In this way, if the game is won, he will be in the headlines tomorrow because of his outstanding performance in the final quarter.

As for Jianghu trying to steal him as the number one player in the league?

Don’t even think about it! !

Thinking of this, James became even more excited. He stabilized his body and charged towards Jianghu again. Jianghu looked at James' menacing appearance and stood up, ready for the physical confrontation that would inevitably be painful this time.

But right now.

Horford suddenly burst out and sandwiched James with his handbag.

This was a move outside of Stevens' tactical instructions. Stevens did not arrange any double-teaming for James in this game.

James, who was about to hit the world, held the ball to his limit, avoided Horford's press, and turned over for a jumper!

"Come down!"

Jianghu has found an opportunity!

Although Horford's press was unsuccessful, he forced James to take a hasty shot.

James's take-off was not sufficient, and his jumping height and backward range were limited!

But James's physical fitness is not something to be boasted about. Seeing that he was about to be taken advantage of, his waist and abdomen tightened, he used force a second time in the air, took the ball back, and then threw it again!

"Shh!"

The ball went in, and James used a move that was not very James and hit a key goal that people thought James could not score.

Celtics 121 to 121 Lakers, the game came to a draw.

This time James did not choose to pass the ball at such a moment because he knew that now was the time to prove something. What he wanted to prove was not his passing ability, but that LeBron James was also a very powerful player at critical moments.

"Come on, damn it, this is the power of the Chosen One!!"

James was very excited. He hit his chest vigorously with both hands, then made a strong gesture and roared towards the baseline camera.

Anyone who is familiar with James knows that this is James' serious look. Under normal circumstances, he will only enter this state when he enters the playoffs.

But today, in an ordinary regular season, James fans actually saw "Full LeBron"? ?

Of course, the fans at North Shore Garden were noncommittal about James. They gave James the loudest boos and insults ever.

"Die, damn chimpanzee!!"

"It's just a lucky shot, what are you trying to do?"

45 seconds left in the game!

There was no emotion on Jiang Hu's face. Even though he defended the ball to the extreme, James still scored.

But so what?

Is the game over?

Did James win?

If not, is it too early to be happy?

45 seconds, there are about 2 to 3 offensive opportunities.

Under James' tight defense, Jianghu steadily moved the ball across the half court.

His expression was as usual, with no hint of emotion, anger or nervousness. He became calmer at critical moments. He had been like this since his rookie season.

Even James secretly admired Jiang Hu's calmness. He was far inferior to Jiang Hu at the same age.

Jianghu reaches out and calls for a pick-and-roll!

Then he and Gasol completed a high-quality pick-and-roll.

He originally thought that James would choose to switch defense, but James still quickly bypassed Gasol and appeared in front of Jianghu!

There is no defense change, one-on-one to the end?

Okay, I like it! !

But the next moment, Jiang Hu knew that he was overthinking.

Because it's not just James who's coming at this moment, Durant is also double-teaming!

Finally, the Lakers used two historical players to double-team Jianghu. Jianghu got the chance to enjoy this treatment before Curry.

One versus two James and Durant?

There is no doubt that this shot would be really exciting if it were hit.

But Jianghu had other options. He leaped high and threw the ball towards the open Leonard.

Leonard is a trustworthy teammate, and Jianghu doesn't think he can't score such a goal.

Oops! James was annoyed by Jianghu's brainless double-teaming method.

Damn it! Durant didn't expect Jianghu, who had been immersed in personal offense, to pass the ball decisively!

Big open!

Leonard received the ball steadily, adjusted his steps, jumped up and shot from mid-range!

"Shh!"

The ball went in!

For Leonard, who has a master-level mid-range shot, this shot is no more difficult than eating and drinking.

The Celtics are 123 to 121, leading the score with 35 seconds left!

"pretty."

Jiang Hu and Leonard high-fived vigorously.

“This is why I’m here, this is what I want to do!”

It was rare for Leonard to speak and he came up with a lot of words. It felt good to be trusted at the last moment.

"Fake Kevin, watch your people!"

James was a little angry. Durant's poor defensive move angered him.

Durant said nothing and walked aside silently. He had always been like this. He only dared to be angry at weak people. If they were a little tougher than him, he would back down without hesitation.

Luke Walton called the final timeout of the game.

Arriving at the bench, James unceremoniously snatched the tactical board from Walton's hand and began to draw tactics heavily with a pen.

His teammates are used to it and don't have any dissatisfaction. Walton also puts his hands behind his back and watches James draw tactics, which is no different from when he followed Kobe 10 years ago.

Being obedient and keeping a low profile is the reason why he was not replaced by the management this season.

A team with James and Durant doesn't need a very capable coach. What it needs is a coach who knows how to watch people's actions and can praise their stars.

Because everyone in the world knows that this is James and Durant's team.

But there is one thing that only Lakers players know, and that is: This team is basically James's word. He can scold Durant at any time, but Durant does not have the courage to refute him most of the time. Durant becomes The possible leadership of this team has been exhausted by James' repeated blame and criticism.

"There are 35 seconds left. We need to complete an attack within 5 seconds. The sooner the better!"

After completing the offense within 5 seconds, the Lakers had another opportunity to attack. James arranged a receiving tactic for Durant to bypass the pick-and-roll.

At the same time, the Celtics are also urgently arranging tactics.

"The Lakers will most likely let LeBron hold the ball and hit the basket, just like they did against the Pacers. Jiang, you have to be optimistic about him, and then Kawhi, you can do it appropriately..."

When Stevens was making passionate arrangements, Jiang Hu reached out and interrupted him.

"Coach, I don't think LeBron will shoot this ball. This ball will definitely be shot by Kevin." Sure enough, the Lakers' tactical line was exactly as Jianghu expected. Durant bypassed the pick-and-roll, only to find that he was beaten by a Celtics player. All kinds of pushing and shoving, as if they knew Durant would catch the ball.

Durant tried his best and ran to the three-point line, but James' pass was almost intercepted by Leonard.

Damn it, Durant has never felt that playing basketball is so strenuous, as if every move he makes is penetrated by the opponent.

Just when Durant was about to take action, Jiang Hu appeared in front of him and slapped the ball in his hand.

The ball was so fast and urgent that Durant immediately lost control of the ball.

Jiang Hu pounced directly towards the ball.

But Durant didn't want to lose to Jiang Hu like this. When Jiang Hu jumped out, he ignored the risk of injury and flew directly to the ground.

Although it came from behind, Durant pounced very resolutely, as if he wanted to get the ball back even if he didn't need his career.

Durant's decisive save and his wingspan, which was 9 centimeters longer than Jiang Hu's, played a key role. He touched the ball first and then slapped it on the ball.

The ball flew to James, and James wanted to pass it to Durant, but when he saw Durant still lying on the ground, he simply gave up the idea.

If it's difficult for you to take action, then I'll do it myself!

accelerate!

This time the acceleration was much faster than before, James finally used all his explosive power!

Leonard concentrated on defense and took two steps beyond the three-point line!

Even this was passed!

Powerful!

The perfect combination of power, speed and ball control! Double team! Horford and Danny Green simultaneously let go of their defensive players and pounced!

With Horford and Danny Green in front, and Leonard behind him, Jiang Hu also stood up and sprinted towards the basket.

How to break this situation?

The entire North Shore Garden Arena was silent. Even though they were leading by 2 points, they didn't feel safe.

Can James pass the ball?

This is the question lingering in everyone's mind.

Without passing the ball, James shortened his body and accelerated again. His already thundering speed actually accelerated again!

Danny Green and Leonard stepped through before the formation of the circle. Only Gasol was left under the basket, and James flew up!

Gasol, who was in serious physical condition, couldn't stop him. He raised his hands and pulled James' shoulders hard, trying to stop James.

But James took off first, and the inertial acceleration was stretched to the extreme. Even Gasol's hands grabbed his shoulders, but he still relied on his superhuman physical fitness to barely throw the ball in.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the basket!

"Beep!" The whistle sounded, 2+1.

All the players on the field were stunned, even Jiang Hu couldn't believe his eyes.

He had only seen the goal James scored with Morris behind his back on the highlights, but had never seen anything like it live.

And this round is not Morris Jr., but Gasol Jr., a genuine center, even a center who won the best defensive player...

With this shoulder pulling method, James actually got the ball in? ?

Is this mud horse a beast? ?

James jumped down from the basket and glanced at the Celtics players one by one with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to devour everyone with his eyes, making them feel scared and terrified.

If it were the Celtics of the original time and space, they might be really scared, because their top star is Tatum, a player who is good at disappointing people.

Everyone avoided James' eyes, except for Jiang Hu, whose eyes were still full of fighting spirit, and the flames in his eyes became even hotter.

That look in James felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

But he couldn't remember it now.

"What the hell, we're going to win!!"

James shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts, walked to the free throw line and made the ball steadily.

The score came to the Celtics 123 to 124 Lakers.

The attack was choppy and took 12 seconds, exceeding James' expectations.

But as long as we win, these are not problems.

The Celtics chose to pause.

Jiang Hu looked at his teammates on the bench, whose energy seemed to have been taken away by James' dunk, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Look at you guys, I knocked you down with just one ball?? Do you still look like the defending champion who has won 32 consecutive games??"

"Give me the damn ball! Let me do it!"

Stevens looked at Leonard and then at Jianghu.

His strength is not as good as that of Jianghu, and he cannot be a vocal leader. Perhaps it is because Leonard is destined to be only the second in command this season...

Stevens shook his head and picked up the tactical board:

"Mark serves Jiang, and the others cover. The rest is up to you!"

The timeout ends and the Celtics advance the ball.

The starburst tactic, although this tactic has been around for many years and has been studied many times by major teams, Jianghu still runs out of space and receives the ball.

At the logo, Jianghu controls the ball close to the center line!

At 23 seconds, Jiang Hu looked up at the scoreboard and then at James, who was waiting in front of him.

20 seconds.

15 seconds.

10 seconds.

8 seconds.

Jiang Hu moved, dribbling continuously, taking a few steps forward, his shoulders shaking constantly, looking like he was about to break through.

3 seconds.

Suddenly, Jiang Hu put away all his preparations for a breakthrough and collected the ball on the spot for a jumper.

James' eyes were red and he rushed forward like crazy.

He never expected that Jianghu would dare to take such a shot when he was one point behind.

He's late!

Jiang Hu raised the ball with both hands, jumped high, and stepped on the white floor with the Celtics logo to throw the ball. This was a Damian Lillard-style shot.

The difference is: Lillard was tied that time, Jianghu was behind this time.

Jiang Hu couldn't explain why he chose to shoot from such a distance. He could only say that it was a feeling. When the feeling came, he took the shot.

impossible! This will definitely not get in!

James looked back at the basket with praying eyes.

Jiang Hu's shot felt a little wrong. Damn, he seemed to have a lot of strength in this shot...

Then………

The basketball hit the backboard! The red light is on!

The basketball bounces into the hoop!

Hit the board and put it in the basket!

The ball went in!

Thirty-three consecutive victories without any danger! !

"Fuck, Jianghu was so confident in scoring this goal! He was so daring to hit, it made James cry!!!"

Zhang Weiping shouted loudly, danced excitedly, couldn't help but uttered a curse word, and accidentally exposed his identity as "Jianghu Mi" and "Zhan Hei".

Yu Jia saw that Director Zhang was swearing, so he simply added:

"Now is the era of the arena. As for LeBron James, who is unstoppable to the people on earth?? Fuck him."

The Celtics players jumped up from the bench and rushed to the arena in the center of the field, cheering. This was a great victory!

As for Jiang Hu, he didn't say any trash talk. He just put his hands on his hips and looked at James quietly, as if what he just made was just a simple free throw.

James frowned, turned his head and walked straight to the locker room without saying a word.

On the way back, he kept thinking: Should he refuse to be interviewed tonight? ? (End of chapter)
