Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 500 Bloody Counterpoint

12 month 25 day.

Christmas battle!

For the first time in 20 years, the Bucks once again became one of the teams in the Christmas game.

Groom Albert also joked, "It's really thanks to Zhao Hao that the Bucks can play in the Christmas game.

You thought the league set up this game so fans could watch your cold frontier Bucks?
No, they all came to watch Zhao Hao play. "

Kenny Smith on the side agrees with this point of view.

In fact, last season, after Zhao Hao broke his Achilles tendon and won a championship for the Cavaliers, fans all over the world fell in love with this decisive assassin at a critical moment.

Kenny Smith also wants to say that even he has now become a die-hard fan of Zhao Hao.

"Of course, tonight's game may be more controversial and more eye-catching than the Bucks' unprecedented participation in the Christmas game.

The Bucks challenge the Cavaliers away, can there be a more thrilling game than this? "

Quicken Loans Arena.

The densely packed fans have already raised their hands in excitement.

The big screen in the center of the stadium also kept showing highlights of Zhao Hao's career with the Cavaliers, as well as the passionate scenes of his Game [-] win over the Lakers in overtime in the Finals.

The decibels from the fans at the scene almost overturned the arena!

This also made it difficult for Kenny Smith and the groom to communicate in the arena.

Zhao Hao entered the field from the player tunnel, with the hands of countless Cleveland fans stretched out from both sides.

Zhao Hao shook hands with them one by one, and the scenes of fighting side by side with the Cavaliers emerged one by one.

At this time, the cheers of the fans were mixed with crying, which was endless.

For them, Zhao Hao will be a hero they will never forget.

"Girls and gentlemen, let's be quiet first. Tonight belongs only to that hero. He also has a very important ceremony."

At this time, Cavaliers general manager Jim Paxson also walked into the center of the arena and said.

Although it was his decision to abandon Zhao Hao, it was a business apart from the general manager of the arena and the NBA.

Jim Paxson has always been impressed by Zhao Hao's performance in the Cavaliers.

Immediately afterwards, a booth with a championship ring was pushed out, and a ring full of diamonds was placed on it.

——The championship ring, the number 24 on the side and the spelling of Zhao Hao's name are very eye-catching.

Tonight is also the night when Zhao Hao returned to Cleveland to receive the championship ring award.

"Zhao Hao, you will always be from Cleveland!"

"You are the hero who won two consecutive championships for us!"

Amidst the shouts of the fans, Zhao Hao even heard some fans shouting, asking him to buy out his contract and return to the Cavaliers.

What?

Zhao Hao also wants to say, I miss the days of playing side by side with you very much, but I will never go back to those days, because I am also shouldering another team now.

Zhao Hao walked to the middle of the court, and James temporarily wore Zhao Hao's No. 24 Cavaliers jersey to present the award to him.

The two hugged tightly.

"Brother, I miss you so much."

Zhao Hao joked, "You say that to every teammate?"

James gave him a familiar look.

"Ham, take away your ring and glory handle. From this moment on, we are also rivals. I look forward to beating you in the playoffs."

Zhao Hao took the ring, put it on his hand and raised it above his head.

Under the thunderous applause of the audience, he smiled and said to James: "I will personally eliminate the Cavaliers from the playoffs!"

This is serious!
The moment the Cavaliers chose to abandon him, they were already on opposite sides.

James didn't know that Zhao Hao's mouth was so powerful, and he also knew why the other party said such words suddenly.

The team lost him!

Therefore, he also responded tacitly with a smile.

"Don't be too arrogant, when you get swept 4:0, you will look ugly."

Whether it is right or wrong on the court, both of them are very clear.

The court is like a battlefield, even if the old man comes, he can still play well, and even physical confrontation should be done more diligently.

Because they all want to prove themselves!

off the field.

Looking at Zhao Hao and James, who are deeply in love with each other, Yao Ming also clapped happily.

"This is brother Hao, even if he leaves the team, his interpersonal relationship is still so good.

Look how happy James is smiling. "

James: I was so happy that I was trash-talked.

Of course, Yao Ming focused more on the ring that Zhao Hao raised above his head.

That was his dream championship ring.

And other Bucks players like Yi Jianlian, Charlie Villanueva, etc., also felt infinitely excited when they saw the ring on Zhao Hao's hand.

"That's the legendary championship ring, it's really big and shiny!"

After the awards ceremony, the competition began.

Cavaliers starting lineup: point guard Billups, shooting guard Delonte West, small forward James, power forward Drew Gooden and center Gasol.

Seeing this lineup, Su Qun from the SSTV commentary station couldn't help shaking his head.

"This bitch is too unreasonable, Billups + James + Gasol, how does this make other teams play?"

The groom at the side added an inappropriate sentence.

"The Cavaliers currently have a record of 22 wins and 2 losses. The only two games they lost were that Billups and Gasol had a truce respectively."

In other words, the Cavaliers have not lost a single game with the Big Three intact.

Could this girl be the legendary Dongfang Invincible? !
Now fans all over the world are also very curious, is it possible for the Bucks to break the undefeated Big Three of the Cavaliers tonight?
The Bucks are still regular starters, point guard Ramon Sessions, shooting guard Zhao Hao, small forward Desmond Mason, power forward Charlie Villanueva and center Yao Ming.

Midfield jump ball.

Gasol unreasonably took the first wave of possession from Yao Ming's head with his wingspan. After getting the ball, he raised the ball above his head and gave Yao Ming a look.

"This jump ball Gasol is a bit provocative."

Su Qun also wanted to say, despite Yao Ming's height of 226cm, in fact he has no part suitable for playing basketball except for his height.

For example, Yao Ming's wingspan is only 220cm, which is shorter than his height!
In terms of standing on the spot, Yao Ming's side data is also seriously inconsistent with his body, only 293cm.

In comparison, Gasol, who is facing Yao Ming, is 213cm tall, but his wingspan has reached a terrifying 231cm. As for the standing height, he is even better than the taller Yao Ming, reaching 295cm!

So in the jump ball, Yao Ming, who is actually taller, does not have an advantage.

Zhao Hao glanced at the provocative Gasol, but couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Dajia, why do you still want to provoke Yao Ming at every turn like in your previous life.

Yao Ming in his previous life was once hailed as the No. [-] center in the Western Conference. Even after O'Neal retired, he was directly recognized as the No. [-] center in the league.

For Gasol, who is also a center, this must be unconvinced.

That's why the Lakers played the Mosaic team in the previous life. Every time Gasol would deliberately match up with Yao Ming.

Want to prove that he is the number one center in the league!
It's just that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny.

Although the Lakers rely on their overall strong advantage, they have an advantage of 16 wins and 10 losses in the game against the Mosaic team.

But when Gasol faced Yao Ming, his statistics were not good, and he even had a sense of being overwhelmed.

Averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

On the other hand, Yao Ming, in the matchup with Gasol, averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks per game.

More importantly, in terms of personal leadership performance, Gasol in the Grizzlies period was also swept every year.

And when facing the league's top insiders such as O'Neal and Garnett, he was also blown up in various ways.

That's why it has the reputation of "Jiasao Jiasao".

"Of course, Gasol, who was bullied in the NBA, bullied Yao Ming a lot after he ran to the international arena.

No way, the Spanish team at that time was a strong team that could compete with the American dream team. It is no wonder that the Chinese team was not beaten badly.

And every time Gasol meets Yao Ming in the international arena, he will angrily score 30 points, which is the reason for his revenge mentality.

Because there is a younger brother Gasol Jr. who goes to beat Yao Ming, so Gasol can also concentrate on scoring points.

It is precisely because of Yao Ming's performance in the international arena that Gasol has beaten him in various ways, and those fans have always slandered the Chinese team as a softie and Yao Ming is a piece of garbage.

He even felt that Dayao's dominance at his peak was not even comparable to that of Gasol. "

Zhao Hao hummed lightly.

With the overall strong strength of Spain, how do you let Yao Ming play on the court?
Just like a king with four bronzes, do you think he has a chance to win five glory?
Even one of them, Glory, was able to take over 20 heads by slaughtering four bronzes, do you believe it?

Therefore, in the previous life, Dayao was slandered and bullied by you people enough, in this life, he and Yao Ming will teach you a good lesson in the international arena.

on the field.

James dribbled the ball halfway, Gasol mentioned the high post and made a pick-and-roll for the opponent, and then James immediately went to the basket.

This is ready to hit Yao Ming with a slow pace!
boom!
James one-handed tomahawk dunk!
"No way, James' pick-and-roll is already full of deterrence, and now it's Gasol who picks and rolls with him, so it's naturally more difficult to defend."

Su Qun also came to a definite conclusion after watching many games played by the Cavaliers this season.

That is the pick-and-roll of James and Gasol is unstoppable!
Because Gasol has the ability to make mid-range shots and play high and low, and James' breakthrough impact and passing ability are also excellent.

All in the absence of double-teaming, only relying on two people to defend, and no team in the league can defend at all.

"Then we can only rely on multiple people to help defend!"

After Cole on the coach's bench had this idea, he quickly shook his head.

With James' passing ability, double-teaming him is just a bad idea. Now Gasol of the Cavaliers also has a certain passing ability, and double-teaming him is the next best thing to do.

"That's why the Cavaliers beat the league's invincible players this season, because their offense is so unsolvable."

Turning his head, Zhao Hao dribbled the ball across half court.

He had just crossed the half court with his front foot, and Billups and Delonte West of the Cavaliers immediately double-teamed him.

"Team double-teaming at halftime?"

Zhao Hao was also completely confused by this defense.

This is the first offensive round of the Bucks in the first quarter, and your Cavaliers are going to defend like this?

And the bald Mike Brown on the sidelines also touched his bald head proudly after seeing Zhao Hao turn his head to look at him, and smiled innocently.

"You Zhao Hao used to be my player, don't I know your ability?

You can't score easily in this game, I don't believe your teammates can beat me to death! "

Zhao Hao also quickly guessed the Cavaliers' defensive strategy and Mike Brown's intentions.

That is to force him to play the ball after halftime!
Not to mention, don't look at the Cavaliers' offensive play so vividly, but their head coach Mike Brown is a defensive coach who knows nothing about offense.

Therefore, the quality of the Cavaliers is really high with the arrangement of double-team defensive tactics!
Zhao Hao also had to pass the ball immediately, and then began to run non-stop on the court.

Cole also breathed a sigh of relief off the court like a false alarm.

If Zhao Hao is defended to death, then the Bucks have no hope of defeating the Cavaliers.

Fortunately, he has already arranged for Zhao Hao to run without the ball, so even if your Cavaliers defend like this, it is impossible to completely defend against Zhao Hao's three-pointers!

Swish!
Zhao Hao used the cover of the eyebrowless hero Villanueva, came out and immediately received the pass from Yao, and hit a three-pointer steadily.

"The Cavaliers should not underestimate the Bucks, they are the league's first team in three-point field goal percentage and field goals this season.

Zhao Hao is also very likely to break the record of three-pointers made in a single season that has been dusty in the league for many years!
So in terms of offense, the Bucks are not afraid of you! "

After Zhao Hao made the three-pointer, Billups, the brain on the court, immediately signaled to his teammates.

"Zhao Hao's off-ball three-pointer cannot be chased, but can only be changed!"

Yo!
This shit is the Big Three of the Cavaliers!

Zhao Hao also wanted to say, did the Cavaliers bring their coach to play on the field?
It was only one round, and Billups thought of the best way to defend him!

It's just that Zhao Hao also wants to say that although your Cavaliers can keep up with his three-pointers with such a defense, the matchup on the field will be completely messed up.

Next round!

After Zhao Hao slipped to the bottom line, he also brought Gasol out of the penalty area.

In this way, the person defending Yao Ming also became Delonte West.

The 193cm Delonte West looked up weakly at Yao Ming inside.

The picture is like a two or three-year-old child struggling to look up at his parents.

Such is the sense of gap!

Zhao Hao made a high-profile pass without hesitation, and Yao Ming made a powerful alley-oop dunk, which directly deformed the basket.

"Don't worry, sister.

I will find a chance to single you! "

Yao Ming, who made an alley-oop, was still a little dissatisfied, and directly sprayed trash talk at Gasol who was pulling out.

Zhao Hao also felt ashamed when he heard it.

So he said it a long time ago, but don't think that Yao Ming is a good baby on the court!
This sentence is delicious but dumplings, fun but sister-in-law also uses it is really classic!

So it is foreseeable that Gasol will probably be played by Dayao next.

"Gasol! You fucking!"

Look, tomatoes are at it again.

At the SSTV commentary station, watching the two teams play back and forth, Su Qun also nodded in comfort.

As he predicted before the game, the Bucks' Haoming combination is not afraid of your Cavaliers' Big Three.

You can't defend against this offensive end alone!

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers were determined to kill Zhao Hao, so they gave the Bucks a lot of opportunities.

Yao Ming scored 8 of 6 in the quarter, scored 15 points and 4 rebounds, and beat Mike Brown on the spot.

The most dominant center he has seen in the Eastern Conference in recent years is an old O'Neal.

Now a player who is more dominant in the interior than O'Neal in his old age suddenly came to the East, and Mike Brown also made a circle on the spot.

"It turns out that after O'Neal retired, there are still such fierce giant centers in the league!"

On the other hand, Gasol, although he only scored 5 points on the offensive end, he has to admit that he is the axis of the Cavaliers' offense.

In leading the Cavaliers to score more easily, Gasol also played an advantage that is difficult to reflect in statistics.

The Bucks led the Cavaliers at 38:32 in a single quarter!
At the end of the first quarter, the excited Charlie Bell, Michael Ruffin and Roy Ivey also happily high-fived the main players one by one.

After all, this is the Cavaliers with the best record in the league!
It is also one of the mighty Big Three lineup.

Therefore, being able to lead the Cavaliers in the first quarter also gave these players great confidence.

Just got to the second quarter.

The Bucks are familiar with the ups and downs, while the Cavaliers are led by Billups on the court.

This is the advantage of the Big Three lineup. Billups, the team's brain, sorts out the offense and drives the rhythm, and the Cavaliers also quickly played a wave of counterattacks.

Ruffin was continuously scored by Billups at the basket due to his foot speed. He also shouted angrily on the court: "Try again inside, labor and management treat you to a hot pot feast!"

On the next turn, an easy change of direction from Billups' pick-and-roll sent Ruffin into splits on the spot.

An easy layup scored again.

"This is your hot pot feast?

I'm afraid it will fly away from the egg! "

42:42 Tie!

Cole off the court shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene.

Ruffin, if he wanted to attack but didn't attack, and if he wanted to defend but didn't defend, he was like a living target on the court.

At this time, Cole also had to take Ruffin ahead of schedule and replace Yao Ming.

"It's time to stabilize the team's offense!"

At the same time, Mike Brown on the other side immediately took Gasol after seeing the Bucks make adjustments and substitutions.

At this time, there was no Zhao Hao on the court, and the Bucks' first offensive core completely fell on Yao Ming alone.

Zhao Hao cheered up on the bench and looked towards the court.

"The bloody confrontation between the two is coming!"
