I am super giant

Chapter 39 Terry Fires (Two Updates)

On the morning of October 10, the team conducted simple tactical training.

Then, Paul led the coaching staff and all players to hold a pre-match meeting.

When playing against the Pistons, Paul did not start a pre-game meeting, which shows that Paul attaches great importance to the Eagles.

As a fringe team in the playoffs, the Eagles introduced strong support this season, with the goal of the playoffs.

The Cavaliers are an underwhelming team, but with the addition of James and the growth of young players, the coaching staff also has the goal of hitting the playoffs.

The same goal, but also in the East, which makes the Eagles and Cavaliers a direct competitor.

That's why Paul attaches so much importance to the Eagles game.

No one paid attention to the loss to the No. [-] Pistons in the Eastern Conference, but if they lost to the Eagles, it means that the Cavaliers still do not have the strength to break into the playoffs.

"The Eagles are one of the few teams in the league with a strong offense and a weak defense, so we must do a good job of defense tonight! Let me tell you first, although it is only a preseason game, who dares to relax in this game, Lazy like that against the Pistons, I'll bench him!"

Paul spoke tactfully, without naming names.But everyone knew he was talking about Ricky Davis.

In the last game, Davis was a cancer on both ends of the offense and defense.

On the offensive end, the infinite waves cast iron.On the defensive end, Hamilton scored 28 points.

His face was not good-looking either.

"Hmph! Isn't it just a preseason game? What's worth paying attention to?"

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, but there was obvious dissatisfaction on his face.

"Also, in this game we will focus on the inside line. The two starters inside the Eagles are both less than 210 centimeters tall. Big Z has an absolute advantage in height. Big Z, you have to play resolutely in this game! Only you open up, the outside line to get more opportunities.”

Paul started tactical deployment, especially reminding Big Z.

After all, Big Z always does not fight or grab, giving people a feeling of lack of fighting spirit.This state is usually okay, but it will cause serious problems when the team needs him.

"Yes!"

Big Z nodded in agreement.

********
8 pm.

Atlanta Philips Arena.

With the appearance of the three cores of the Eagles Raheem, Terry and Jackson, the cheers of the fans reached a climax.

The five starters sent by the Eagles are: Ratliff, Raheem, Jackson, Glover and Terry.

The Cavaliers also sent regular starters: Ilgauskas, Boozer, James, Davis and McInnis.

The players on both sides stood still, the referee routinely told the players on both sides, and then the game officially started.

beep~
Big Z relied on his absolute height advantage to win the jump ball.

McGinnis caught the ball and began to advance.

After the ball passed the half court, Big Z got stuck inside and started asking for the ball.

McGinnis did not dare to delay, hoisted it high and passed it to Big Z.

The 221cm Big Z singled out the 208cm Ratliff.

Big Z leaned against Ratliff with his back, and Ratliff didn't dare to give up a little space, and pressed against Big Z tightly.

But it didn't work, Big Z turned his back and moved away from his position.

Ratliff rushed forward.

But Big Z immediately turned back in the opposite direction, completely throwing away Ratliff, and hit a small hook easily.

(The footwork of the European center is really solid!)
2: 0!

The Cavaliers opened the scoring first.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Terry advances with the ball.

Facing this little man, McGinnis did not dare to relax at all, and began to intercept from outside the three-point line.

However, Terry's desire to attack is not strong tonight, and he is not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he gave Jackson the opportunity first. After all, Jackson's opponent is a rookie.

"No. [-] pick, I know you played well in the last game, but you are still a rookie. I will teach you how to adapt to the NBA."

Facing the young James, Jackson instinctively wanted to teach him a lesson.

As a second-round pick, Jackson's early career was very difficult, and he got up step by step through hard work.

Looking at James, the proud son of heaven, he was very unconvinced.

But soon, he realized why James is the real pride of heaven.

With a back hit, Jackson couldn't stand James at all.

For a breakthrough, James is faster than Jackson in terms of footwork and lateral movement.

Fake action, James doesn't eat at all.

Jackson's mood suddenly became very bad. Under the interference of James' long arm, he forced a shot and missed.

Boozer scored a rebound from the backcourt and the Cavaliers attacked.

Big Z singles Ratliff and hits a jumper.2 of 2 shots in the opening game, the Cavaliers led 4:0.

The Eagles attacked and Terry held the ball for halftime.

This time he did not choose Jackson, but handed the ball to the team boss Raheem.

Raheem singled Boozer. With comprehensive skills and rich experience, Raheem easily broke through the slow-footed Boozer and scored a layup.

Raheem, the 96 golden generation of third-round picks, has a very strong offensive ability. If he is not ruined by injuries in the end, he will definitely become a superstar.

4: 2!

After the opening, the two teams went back and forth, tepid.

When the official timeout reached 9 minutes, it was a 20:20 tie.

Big Z of the Cavaliers scored 12 points, and Raheem of the Eagles scored 14 points, basically evenly divided.

But the height of Big Z is there, and his physical strength is very limited, so it is impossible to continue fighting like this.

On the contrary, Rahim is in good physical condition, and there is no problem in continuing to fight.

So in fact, the Cavaliers suffered a loss in these 9 minutes.

At the end of the timeout, Paul sent a lineup of James, McGinnis, Mihm, Darius and Brown, with 2 starters and 3 substitutes.

For the Eagles, there are Terry, Raheem, Muhammad (blue-collar center), Diaw (rookie, can play positions 1 to 5, small forward), Vaughn (guard), the same 2 starters lead 3 substitutes.

The game restarted, and the Eagles continued to play Raheem at this point.

But as soon as Raheem received the ball, Darius entangled him.

The two are both 206 centimeters, and Darius does not suffer from height.

Of course, Rahim didn't pay much attention to Darius. After all, as the Eagle King, he had never seen any defense.

He knows Darius, he is very talented, but he can't do well in offense and he is not active in defense.

But tonight, Darius surprised Raheem. This kid was extraordinarily active, defending desperately, not giving Raheem any room to attack.

With better physical fitness and younger body, Darius caused great problems for Raheem.

Although Raheem finally scored the ball with a difficult fadeaway jumper, he spent twice as much effort as he did when he hit Boozer before.

What's more, there are James and Mim staring at him next to him, and Raheem looks dignified.

20:22, the Eagles lead by 2 points.

The Cavaliers attacked, and James relied on his super physical fitness to crush Diaw, who was not showy enough, and tied the score at 22:22.

Eagles right to the ball.

Terry dribbled the ball upfield and made a lob to the paint in front of McInnis.

McInnis subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

But at this moment, Terry suddenly put the ball down, lowered his center of gravity, passed McGinnis with a quick acceleration, and rushed into the inside by surprise.

McGinnis reacted, but it was too late to reach out and pull people.

Terry's speed, he might not be able to keep up with all his concentration, let alone being cheated a bit.

Looking at Terry who was inside, Mihm helplessly defended.

Terry didn't panic at all, and threw the ball with a high toss.

beep~
The referee blew his whistle, calling for a foul by Mihm's thugs.

At the same time, the basketball swished into the hoop.

Terry successfully played 2+1.

Mim was helpless, looked at McGinnis who was still standing outside, stretched out his hand to respond to the referee, and accepted the penalty himself.

Raheem and Jackson's offense was not going well, and Terry finally began to show his fangs.

A free throw was made, 22:25, and the Eagles still took the lead.

But Terry's offensive firepower has just begun!
