NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 4 You Are James (Please Collect and Read)

"Two minutes ago, we were leading by 24 points, but now the advantage is only 11 points. The situation on the field is not good!"

"Coach, let me go on the court to finish the game. Otherwise, if we let him continue to perform, we might be overturned in this game."

On the bench, James bit his nails and said to Spoelstra.

As a rookie coach who had not been coaching for too long, Spoelstra was a little confused by the offensive launched by Lin Chuan and the Thunder. Only when he heard James calling him did he nod as if waking up from a dream.

"I understand."

"By the way, coach, replace Haslem and Bosh. We can't let him mess around on the court anymore."

Although as a top NBA star, it is a bit embarrassing to lose again in garbage time, but as it is his first championship, he does not want to fail. Eliminating all risks and winning the championship steadily at home is better than anything else.

And this guy is a bit arrogant in the Heat's home court. It's time to let him know who is the king on the court.

James stood up, took off his training jacket to keep his body warm, and walked to the technical table to announce the substitution.

In addition to him, Spoelstra also replaced two inside players, Udonis Haslem and Chris Bosh.

"Take the game and win the damn championship!"

Wade yelled at the players coming on the court.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and prepared to step onto the free throw line.

At this moment, the whole audience suddenly burst into huge cheers.

Lin Chuan turned his head and saw that it was James getting ready to go on the court.

When the audience saw him come on the court, they all understood that the Heat were ready to end the game and the Thunder's counterattack came to an end.

"Charles, how about we make a bet?"

In the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neal suddenly turned around and asked Barkley to gamble.

"Let's make a bet? What? Let me make it clear, I'm not going to bet with you on kissing a donkey's ass."

Hearing about gambling, Barkley couldn't help but become a little alert. After all, he once made a bet with Kenny Smith over Yao Ming in the live broadcast room. As a result, he was forced to kiss a donkey's butt in public. It was very embarrassing. Even after many years, there are still people who tease him about this from time to time.

He doesn't want to see this kind of famous scene again.

"Let's make a bet on whether the Thunder can make a comeback under the leadership of that Chinese kid."

O'Neal pointed at Lin Chuan who was standing on the free throw line preparing to shoot a free throw.

"Just bet a thousand dollars."

O'Neill added.

"I'm betting, Shaq. I have to remind you that this guy is not Yao Ming. I just checked and he is a rookie at the end of the second round this year. I don't know what you think, but since you want to give me money so much, I would be sorry for your kindness if I don't accept it."

"Just to remind you, I don't see where the Thunder's advantage is. James is about to play, and their substitutes' offensive is about to end. Soon the gap will be widened to 20 points again."

When Barkley heard O'Neal's bet, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and accepted the bet.

O'Neal touched his chin and did not answer Barkley's question, but in his eyes, the ability that Lin Chuan showed in the past few minutes made him look at him with admiration, and he couldn't help but make a bet with Barkley.

Lin Chuan's mood was not affected at all when he heard the whole audience cheering for James's appearance. He took a deep breath, raised the ball above his head, and flicked his wrist slightly.

The penalty was also awarded!

The point difference narrowed to 10 points!
The ball shifted to the Heat.

James dribbled the ball across half court.

Seeing him holding the ball, the Heat fans became even more excited.

"Kill Thunder!"

"Beat that kid up! He's too arrogant!"

"Dunk him, James!"

Listening to the fans' cheers and watching the Thunder's front line shrink slightly, James grinned.

Just a bunch of substitutes, do you think they can stop James' breakthrough by shrinking the defense line?
He is the best player in the league today and the best breakthrough player in history.

He didn't take this bunch of scoundrels seriously at all.

The defender in front of him was Nick Collison, but James didn't even look at him. His eyes went straight past Collison and looked at Lin Chuan at the edge of the three-second zone.

For James, who is still at his peak at this time, the first line of defense can be ignored. What is important is the second line of defense from the inside, the backup defense from the center and power forward.

However, even with help defense, his shooting percentage at the basket reached nearly 80, which is a very amazing statistic, even surpassing many top inside players.

"Kid, your show is over." "If you have the ability, defend this shot from me."

James' voice was not very loud, but Lin Chuan could still make out what he said based on his mouth shape.

After saying that, James lowered his center of gravity, simply dribbled the ball and rushed in.

Collison was completely unstoppable and was passed by in one step. When he turned around, he saw the back of James who had already rushed into the inside.

Lin Chuan looked at James, who was wearing a white jersey and had a strong physique, with a serious expression.

Even if you are James, so what? I must defend you today!
Lin Chuan tensed all his strength, jumped high and raised his hands high, ready to block the breakthrough layup by the current number one player in the league.

Boom!
The two bodies collided with each other with a dull sound. Lin Chuan felt as if he was hit by a bulldozer. The huge impact force almost knocked him out of the penalty area and out of the court.

But Lin Chuan is no pushover. With Jokic's body, he can withstand the impact. Lin Chuan kept his composure and stared closely at James's layup.

James originally wanted to knock Lin Chuan away and make a layup, but he didn't expect that the moment he collided with Lin Chuan's body, he felt like a piece of steel plate. The recoil also made him feel uncomfortable, so he had to change from dunking to layup.

Bang!
This layup was also interfered by Lin Chuan's long arms and hit the basket and missed.

Lin Chuan jumped up again to grab the rebound, and with a wave of his long arms, he made another long pass to the frontcourt.

Collison, who was overtaken by James, rushed out early, received the ball and made another layup!
105: 113!

This goal narrowed the score difference to eight points, the first time the score was within ten points since the third quarter.

This guy. . .

James frowned slightly and looked at Lin Chuan with some dissatisfaction in his heart.

His body is so strong, even stronger than their team's starting player Perkins.

Why haven't I seen the team analyze this guy before?

He himself was not feeling well from what happened just now, and his stomach even felt churning for a moment.

This made him underestimate the enemy and he suffered a loss.

When did the Thunder have a player like this?
"What's wrong, LeBron? Didn't you ask me to defend this shot?"

James turned a deaf ear to Lin Chuan's words, went back to the top of the arc to receive the ball, and prepared to teach this Chinese player who provoked him a lesson.

James waved his hand, Haslem stepped forward to set a screen, but James didn't believe it and rushed into the restricted area to dunk over Lin Chuan.

Looking at the aggressive James, Lin Chuan was more fully prepared this time. He tensed his muscles in advance to withstand the impact, and the two collided again.

Lin Chuan withstood the momentum and directly put his hand on the ball that James was about to dunk.

The two of them exerted force at the same time, and the next second the ball was pressed down by Lin Chuan.

Big hat on you!

"Lin Chuan pretended to be James!!!"

Su Qun shouted,
"He successfully interfered once just now, and this time he was blocked!"

"Lin Chuan really made our Chinese players proud!"

Yu Jia was also very excited.

After all, this kind of scene was something that we would never dare to imagine before.

Blocking James in the finals will also become Lin Chuan's first famous scene.

The Thunder got the ball and switched offense.

Fisher advanced on a fast break and rushed to the basket for a layup.

James ran very fast, trying to catch up and block the shot.

Fisher was startled when he saw a dark shadow behind him out of the corner of his eye.

He decisively hit the ground and passed the ball to Lin Chuan who was following closely.

James turned around and followed the basketball, and saw Lin Chuan, who had just entered the three-point line, running. The flesh under his jersey was shaking. After receiving the ball, Lin Chuan leaned on James for a layup.
Swish!
Lin Chuan made a layup.

At the same time, the huge body knocked James, who was unable to avoid it, out of bounds and hit the photographer.

The heated atmosphere in the venue suddenly quieted down.

Suddenly, the only sound left was the basketball bouncing on the ground.
