Center first

Chapter 437 The Beginning of the Basketball War

The Miami Heat's performance at the end of the warmup also proved the madness of these guys. Their low-pitched growls also made Mike Brown vigilant. This gentle fat man with glasses would never think so The atmosphere of the game will really affect the Filipino's on-the-spot command. He has not forgotten who threw the tactical board directly on his head in the scuffle last season.

When Mike Brown saw the starting lineup of the Miami Heat, he was even more convinced of this, "The Filipino never bows to anyone. Just look at the lineup he has lined up. This guy is determined. Come up with an idea and fight us to the end." Mike Brown whispered to the little emperor, and this was the first time he saw Spoelstra put Lin Yi and Wade at the same time from the very beginning of the game this season. Putting it on the field, it looks like those Miami guys are ready to let the game enter a bayonet duel from the first second.

"James, Shaquille, Mo, West, Hickson, you five start the game. Since the opponent wants to fight us to the death at home, then we can only stay with us to the end. I have already mentioned the key points of attack and defense. So many times, I won't repeat those things now, I just want you to remember one thing in this moment, and that is to beat those guys from Miami! Get them out of Quicken Loans Arena!" Mike. For the first time, Brown refrained from his usual gentlemanly manner, and this guy also acted like a raging lunatic!

This is the first time even the little emperor has seen such a head coach. It can be seen that Mike Brown has held back the battle between himself and Spoelstra for a long time. He wants to use his own team The opportunity to play at home to wash away the shame of being swept out is to use this victory to declare to those who touted Spoelstra that he was the best coach in the league last season, not the lunatic Ordinary Filipinos.

However, although Mike Brown's performance seems a bit inconsistent with his own attire, his roar seems to be very appetizing to the fans, especially the little emperor and the big shark also called their teammates to gather around each other There was also such a roar when refueling, which made the atmosphere in the entire arena begin to gather again, and the somewhat awkward people who had just been teased by the Miami slam dunk performance began to roar again.

"Oh, look, that's the guy who just got hit in the head with my tactical board a few months ago. His nerves seem to be out of order from me all of a sudden. He's wearing a suit and a gold-rimmed shirt Glasses, what a waste to make a crazy commander with such an image. He is not used to such behavior as I am, and now this guy looks a little funny in my eyes, like a fool .” Of course Spoelstra heard the roar not far away, so he used such a teasing tone to interpret the outrageous behavior of the old opponent.

The ridicule is a joke, but Spoelstra has already seen clearly who the opponents are about to appear on the stage. When his eyes swept over the expressions on the faces of these guys, the Filipino also understood in his heart What the hell is that Mike Brown planning? It seems that the two of them wanted to go together in the opening stage this time. Without any concealment of their strength, they both played the strongest cards in each other's hands.

Also adjust the powerful attacking forwards and guards to their most suitable positions, and also put the most powerful centers in their hands to the basket for a duel. There is no trickery in the deployment of the two people. They made up their minds to push the game into a fierce battle at the opening stage, and both of them understood the key to the outcome of the game. The focus of their attention was the two big men. Only when they really decide a winner in the confrontation at the basket, will the direction of the game be inclined to one side.

Completely direct dialogue, neither the Miami Heat nor the Cleveland Cavaliers fielded a combination of two centers. They even chose players with similar height and style of play at the power forward position. The space is freed up to facilitate the offensive and defensive matchup between Lin Yi and O'Neal. Just as Spoelstra trusts Lin Yi, Mike Brown also believes that O'Neal can control the basket.

No one blocked other people's bodies for them, and the seemingly spacious basket space will definitely become a battlefield for these two people. Only when their bodies collide and rub together, will the two teams have a battle. The chance to win or lose, "Boy, maybe this game is an opportunity for you to challenge the peak, I hope you can keep the game in your hands, you are the key to my victory, don't lose to that A shark." Spoelstra didn't say what he was thinking, he just patted the guy on the back hard before Lin Yi went on the court, and what Lin Yi turned around to see was the encouragement of the Filipino The gesture, a raised thumb represents that guy's attitude.

Lin Yi didn't respond to such encouragement, he just walked to the center of the basketball court very quietly, at this moment he seemed very calm, especially when he saw who the person standing opposite him was, he still looked very calm. The quietness, completely lacking the wild performance during the warm-up just now, he just stared at his opponent with such a quiet expression and eyes, that O'Neill who seemed to have begun to become bloated.

O'Neill has never been afraid of any kind of provocation, so when Lin Yi walked towards him, he was ready for all ways to counter the opponent's provocation, but Lin Yi's calm expression was completely beyond O'Neill's expectations. Lin Yi seemed to have no expression in his eyes, just stood there so quietly, but those eyes kept staring at O'Neill, and the shark he watched felt a little hairy.

"What's wrong with this... Damn, is this kid gay? After watching me for so long, the crazy feeling just now is gone. Is it because my eyes are blurred? Could it be that the guy who dunked just now Isn't that guy him?" O'Neill seemed to be meeting such a quiet young opponent for the first time, and even for a moment he thought the kid in front of him was the stone Buddha in San Antonio.

It's just that this confrontation didn't last long. The referee didn't want to watch the two big men staring at each other in the center of the field. His crisp whistle interrupted the weird eye contact between the two. When the referee When the player throws the basketball high into the air, all that can be seen on the big screen above the court are two tall figures soaring into the air at the same time, as well as the two long arms and wide legs rushing towards the same goal. palm.

As the referee's whistle blew, not only was the orange basketball rising in the air, but the atmosphere in the Quicken Loans Arena also began to soar rapidly. The roaring shouts of the Cavaliers' on-site commentator had already spread throughout the area. In every corner of the stadium, those crazy Cleveland fans almost stood in their seats to respond, and all the shouts merged into the center of the basketball court at this moment, unveiling the truth for such a basketball war. Big screen, that’s right, for the people of Miami and Cleveland, this is a basketball war, not just an NBA game. Only the winning side is eligible to walk out of this basketball court standing up, while the losing side One side will forever be fixed on the pillar of shame.

In links like the opening jump ball, Lin Yi was never worried that the shark would cause him any trouble. After all, O'Neal never relied on his jumping ability to make a living. There was basically no suspense in this kind of competition. After the basketball was thrown high, he preempted O'Neill almost at the height of a palm and directly directed the basketball towards his teammates in the air, but when Lin Yi fell from the air, he couldn't move quickly to the opponent's inside line because The shark didn't leave the center circle at all after it failed in the scramble, but directly stood in front of Lin Yi. When Lin Yi landed, he immediately stuck to it. The huge body brought The pressure forced Lin Yi to slow down his pace.

The close-to-body defense was inseparable, and it started immediately from the moment the ball was kicked off. It seems that O'Neal has made up such a close-to-defense strategy from the very beginning of the game. He doesn't seem to worry about his physical strength, even if they The entanglement between the two is still near the middle circle, and this big guy has no intention of backing down. This shark, who has rested for more than a dozen games, responded to the fans in the Quicken Loans Arena with such a positive attitude. This is not only a battle between him and Lin Yi, this kind of game is also an opportunity for him to prove his worth in this new team. He wants to use this attitude and fighting power to prove that he is not aging, he is still The toughest basket bully in the league.

The stalemate between these two big men is just a microcosm of the fierce confrontation in the whole game. After the old Bell controlled the basketball that Lin Yi pulled out, he was also closely watched by West who defended him. The guy used frequent harassment to block the old Bell's pace towards the three-point line. It seems that those Cavaliers guys are already in a state of excitement in the war. They don't shy away from their aggressive tendencies at all. At this moment, it is full of gunpowder, and West's nervousness seems to be urging this guy's excited nerves. He frequently pursues physical contact, and his not strong body also hits hard. The Miami Heat were in trouble from the very beginning.

This kind of oppressive defense can only slow down the advance speed of the Miami Heat. In order to reduce the probability of his own mistakes, Old Bell dare not take the risk of rushing inside. He can only call his teammates to do it for him after controlling the basketball. Covering the cover, the Cavaliers used such a pressing defense to slow down the Miami Heat's offensive rhythm, but those Miami people did not give up their desire to attack. Millsap started from a high position to his side under the call of the old Bell. Moving, the Cavaliers can only change the defensive structure. At the moment when Millsap mentioned that the flanks were picking and rolling for him, the old Bell threw off West's marking on him, but Hickson's position was blocked again. The old Bell cut in, but the old Bell didn't let the basketball in his hand stay too much. He used this pick-and-roll gap to directly distribute the basketball to Wade who was hovering near the top of the arc.

Wade, who caught the ball on the run, faced Mo Williams' entanglement, but the way Wade was always looking for the ball on the run won him the space to start the ball, especially Bell's elder This time the pass was thrown after seeing his breakthrough route. Wade started to kick the ground to accelerate almost the moment he received the ball. Such a comfortable pass did not require any stagnation in his footsteps. Need, Mo Williams' follow-up defense lost the opportunity to block Wade because of such a short time difference. He could only watch Wade rubbing his body and cutting into the inside line. I'm afraid he can do Just chasing after him in vain, hoping that someone in front of him will create a double-team opportunity for him.

Wade's cutting speed is amazing. He seems to remind people that his nickname is "The Flash" in this way all the time. However, there is another guy who has long been prepared for Wade's breakthrough with the ball. When Wade The moment Wade threw off Mo Williams, a strong body was already lying in front of his breakthrough route, which made Wade passively change his direction during the high-speed breakthrough. The figure of Wade is very familiar to Wade. It is the blocking method of his old opponent LeBron James. This kind of scene has been performed on the basketball court countless times in the past seven years. Wade De has long been accustomed to the entanglement and blocking of this old opponent.

But this kind of confrontation may continue until these two people leave the league. Of course, this premise is that they will never become teammates. Whenever the Cavaliers and the Heat collide, Wade and the little emperor The battle between the two will always be the focus of attention of others. Although more people are concerned about who is the winner between Lin Yi and O'Neal this time, no one dares to ignore the duel between these two scoring machines on the court. , Including this time's matchup offense and defense is no exception, Wade's response speed and the little emperor's position prediction are as fast as lightning, these two people made their second almost at the moment they met. Reaction, it's just that Wade, as the offensive side, always has some initiative. His sudden braking and sliding during the breakthrough process instantly opened the distance between the two, and completely failed the little emperor's blockade.

But the trouble caused by the forced change of direction is that Wade has lost his initial speed of cutting in, but the Flash's change of direction dribble has given him a chance to make a shot. The Cavaliers flicked around in the penalty area. After the little emperor lost the opportunity to block himself, the Flash's sideways low-handed layup action has already opened his posture on the left side of the three-second zone. This guy stepped on his most familiar Stepping sideways and cutting to the basket, Wade was ready to score the first goal of the game for the Heat, but there was one person who did not agree with his move. When Wade's left hand reached for a layup, In an instant, a huge slap suddenly came out from the Cavaliers' basket, and that wide palm slapped fiercely at Wade's attacking hand with the ball. The wide palm and thick arm carried An irresistible force.

In order to avoid the little emperor's blocking and entanglement, Wade has been forced to change the direction of his body facing the basket. He can make such a coherent attack movement, which is barely completed by relying on his strong physical fitness. He simply didn't have enough vision to observe every change on the field, and he was a little surprised by such a sudden big slap. When that big hand appeared, Wade had already lost control of the basketball. The basketball that just left his palm was slapped out of the sideline by that huge slap. The huge "boom" and "boom" sound still echoed in Wade's ears, and Flash could clearly feel the big hand brushing against him The fiery feeling brought up by the fingertips.

When the crazy fans in the Quicken Loans Arena burst into their loudest roar, Wade turned his head to look at the guy who just destroyed his shot, and the big shark who won the championship with him was at the basket Waving his strong arms, inciting the fans to let out the craziest shouts following his movements, and standing beside him, Lin Yi waved his hand to Wade a little apologetically. Obviously Lin Yi was caught off guard, and he didn't have a good way to stop such a behemoth that suddenly exploded in time.

Originally, Lin Yi was already entangled with the shark at the basket to grab the position. When Wade broke through Mo Williams' defense, Lin Yi deliberately blocked O'Neal's body, but when the little emperor retracted When blocking Wade's breakthrough, Lin Yi clearly felt the shark on the side of his body exerting force suddenly. When you face a guy weighing about 300 kilograms and explodes suddenly, everyone may be a little unprepared After all, Lin Yi's current weight is not yet 200 jins, so he must have his own prediction in advance to fight against such a behemoth.

The opponent's sudden burst of impact made it impossible for Lin Yi to get stuck in the first place. Such a sudden incident caused the failure of the Miami Heat's first attack, and also made that strong guy able to attack at the basket. Everyone announced their existence, Lin Yi rubbed his sore arm, and smiled helplessly at Wade. It seemed that the shark had accumulated more than ten rounds of energy and planned to release it this night.

The opponent has already made the first move, and only a strong response can make this noisy stadium return to silence! ! !

Come on, let the tough and tough here start the most direct confrontation! ! !
(There is no suspense... I found that the Eagles are very vulnerable as long as they encounter a team with an absolute center... The first half was originally leading, but Howard's performance at the beginning of the second half has already determined many things. Alas... the position of center forward, which is about to become extinct, can still determine many things... It seems that our YAO comrades should still have a certain market, haha)
