Standing pretty old

Chapter 460 The Knight's Tears Fall on the Field

During the halftime interview, Ruan Erniu accepted the interview of TNT Flower Butterfly - Greg Sager according to the regulations.

"Greg, your clothes today are pretty good, at least the color is comfortable!" Er Niu teased before Segg could speak.

"Thank you for the compliment, Kraft! Let's get back to business. After a fantastic season and great results in the international arena, you set the highest goals for yourself in the new season. How did you do it? All of this."

"Wake up, eat, drink water, practice, compete, and sleep! I think I have probably done a few things, maybe a few more, maybe a few less, anyway, that's what I did!" Ruan Erniu Said confidently.

"Today, you led your opponent by 27 points at halftime. Do you have anything to say about this?" Saiger continued to ask.

"I have a group of excellent teammates. It is their hard work that makes everything easier!" Ruan Erniu replied.

"Do you think you will rule this alliance? Come on, red tyrant, speak your mind!" Saige joked.

"If you stop wearing those colorful clothes, I will have no problem ruling the world!" Ruan Erniu also shot back with a smile.

The Hawks have a similar vibe in the locker room.

Amidst the laughter, the defending champion took the first step, or half a step, to successfully defend the title. It is almost impossible for the Cavaliers to complete a nearly 30-point reversal under such circumstances.

The atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room is quite depressing.

They thought they would achieve good results in the new season, and even if they couldn't beat their opponents, they should still be on par with the defending champions.

But the reality is far crueler than imagined. Facing the three-point rain of the Eagles, the Kecheng soldiers could only crawl forward on the muddy road.Their high spirits and ambitions were also blown to pieces after a heavy rain.

As the leader of the team, James had to stand up to stabilize the morale of the army, but facing such a terrible opponent as the Hawks, the emperor could not cheer up all the knights of the round table.

The second half of the game started quickly, and James immediately took the lead and rushed to the front line. He first broke through Salmons' defense, avoided Ruan Erniu in the air, and completed a difficult layup, and then he was at the free throw line The area was pulled out and made consecutive hits.

Ruan Erniu also became interested. Facing the old and poor Ben Wallace, the Great Demon King of Heaven didn't have any intention of respecting the old and caring for the young.

The Cavaliers' starting inside line is too slow, Wallace's speed is slow enough, which is already disappointing, and the speed of Big Z's defense is even more desperate.

Ruan Erniu attacked the basket so easily that even he himself felt unreal.

If you change to a team that is not strong enough inside to attack, maybe the situation will not be one-sided. However, the Eagles have too much inside advantage. Under the chain reaction, they completely released their shocking outside firepower. That's why the score gap is so big.

The outside line of the Cavaliers led by James is actually quite good this season. Whether it is Jr. Mo, Delonte West or Daniel Gibson, they are all good shooters. Once they have a convulsion, no team can stop them.

Of course, the three of them burned the CPU, which is enough to drag the knight into hell.

The role of James is to let the hottest guy among them get enough shot rights.

But in this game, the Hawks' outside defense did a pretty good job, and the Cavaliers' outside shooters didn't get too many opportunities.

Since last season's playoffs, the entire league has been discussing the Eagles' magical offensive and defensive transitions and small-ball lineups, but many experts pointed out that they have just ignored the foundation of the Eagles-defense and rebounding.

Whether it's the suffocating zone defense or the rim protection team headed by Ruan Erniu, the Eagles' defense is the most underestimated existence.

When people are stubbornly discussing the lack of height of the Hawks' starting center, they ignore the overall height of the Hawks' frontcourt, as well as the three-dimensional top man and defense tactics.

Last season, no matter whether Ruan Erniu, Marvin Williams, or Josh Smith was in charge of the top man, the other two could quickly rush to complete the defense block.

This season, the Hawks sent Marvin to the Kings, but they added a frame protector like Birdman in time. In terms of protecting the basket, their efforts have continued unabated compared to last season.

The Cavaliers' outside line is by no means unplayable throughout the game. Both Xiaomo and Gibson hit consecutive 3-pointers, but their offensive momentum has no continuity, because the backcourt rebounds were completely blocked by the Eagles, and The offensive rebounds were also turned upside down by the opponents.

For teams that emphasize outside shooting, outside defense and inside rebound protection are equally important.

Ruan Erniu didn't leave the game in the second half of the third quarter either. He knew in his heart that he would not play again in the final quarter. Now was his last time to collect statistics.

Fortunately, no matter whether it was Ben Wallace, who was ridiculously slow, or Varejao, who liked to yell in ecstasy and threw himself a few meters away, there was no way to stop Erniu's offensive.

Open three-point long shots, inside breakthrough layups, mid-range step-back jumpers, and then make two random fouls. On the basis of protecting the backcourt rebounds, it is okay to get a few offensive rebounds on the opponent's defensive end. .

At the end of the three quarters, the Eagles have widened the point difference to 35 points.

Ruan Erniu finally came off the court to rest and made 18 of 12 shots, including 5 of 3 three-pointers and 6 of 5 free throws. He scored a total of 32 points, 21 rebounds and 5 assists.

Er Niu completed these statistics in less than three quarters, and the audience in the Philips Arena started shouting: "MVP!"

He is entitled to such cheers, this is his era, this is his territory.

What's interesting is that the Cavaliers were really stalking in the opening game. James took a short break in the second half of the third quarter and returned to the court again in the fourth quarter.

I don't know if this is Brown's meaning. He wants to keep the game from being too ugly, or James himself thinks this point difference is too unacceptable.

Even so, the Cavaliers ultimately failed to subvert the Eagles.

The Clevelanders once played a 9:2 attack wave in the final quarter of the game, but this did not shake the Hawks. Woodson even pretended to be so aggressive that he didn't even want to call a timeout.

Er Niu was not on the court, but Jon Jonsen continued to put pressure on the Cavaliers in the final quarter of the game. In the second half of the final quarter, Ronald Murray and Novak scored consecutively, and finally sealed the victory for the Hawks.

125:88, this is the final score of the two teams in the game.

The 37-point difference kicked off the NBA08-09 season.

Ruan Erniu hugged James after the game. Although it was just an ordinary regular season, the two men who were at their peak still cherished each other.

詹姆斯全场22分7板6助攻的数据对比二牛砍下的30+20+5略显寒酸，但是他的存在，还是在客观上，让骑士没有给卫冕冠军打破比分差记录的机会。

"Congratulations, Kraft!"

"Thanks, LeBron, see you next game!"

Thank you Sha Po Lang 444 for your reward!
