Basketball: Ten consecutive draws at the start

Chapter 40: The Valued Super

Nash frowned and glanced at Xiaosi suspiciously.

The latter returned a reassuring look to him, and patted Liu Chao’s shoulder and said: “Today’s game is good for James to see your strength, when we retire, you will have to face him yourself, don’t let him underestimate it.” ”

Nash next to him showed an expression of realization after hearing this, no wonder Xiaosi deliberately said that James wanted to burst Liu Chao’s ass, originally to arouse Liu Chao’s desire to win.

He had a lot of contact with Dayao, and he also knew that Liu Chao had the humble attitude of Chinese Confucianism in his bones, and his attitude towards handling many things would be biased towards modesty.

In other areas, modesty may bring a lot of convenience, but in the bloody battlefield of the NBA, bloodiness can make a career go further.

What’s more, D’Antoni intends to cultivate Liu Chao into the core of the team, if the attitude is not tough enough, how to serve the public in the future.

Liu Chao has a good temperament, and he cannot be stimulated behind modesty, and once he is aroused bloody, he will have a very tough performance.

It was precisely because of this that Little Si distorted James’s words.

The two sides made final preparations on the bench, D’Antoni also set up the offensive task before the game, and the Suns were all offensive points, so anyone who passed the ball had a chance to score.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers were also making pre-game arrangements, and James shrugged his shoulders after returning to the bench, and said helplessly to the coach: “As you think, D’Antoni is ready to cultivate that kid as the core of the Suns, we don’t have to think about taking the super. ”

Hearing that coach Mike Bulang did not show much surprise, after the last game, the fool can also see the importance of Liu Chao to the Suns.

In addition to helping the Suns continue their firepower accidents, they can also allow Larry Bale and Leondro to attack regardless of physical strength, without worrying about the lack of physical strength in the previous second half of the game.

“Since that’s the case, then we have to let that Chinese rookie suffer a lot, Larry, the task of defending the super is handed over to you!” But don’t forget your offensive mission. ”

“Don’t worry, I’ll give this rookie a complete NBA experience.”

Larry Hughes is an eighth-ranked player in ’98 who averages 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game as one of the active star shooting guards.

Although he is in the middle of his career after returning to the Cavaliers, there is no denying his strong breakthrough ability and physicality, and his domineering offensive style has also allowed him to occupy the position of starting shooting guard.

“I studied this rookie the other day, his movement is so good, that kind of whimsical running ability, I bet there are few people in the active league who can match, at least I haven’t seen anyone with better running ability than him, Larry, you have to pay more attention.” Cavaliers star center Big Z reminded.

Larry, as an old-timer in the Cavaliers, is arrogant, but it does not mean that he is unwilling to listen to the advice of his teammates: “I have also paid attention to what you said, fortunately, his speed is not fast, and it should not be a problem to guard him.” ”

“I will try my best to assist in the defense, cut off the passing line between Nash and that Huaxia boy, and the inside line will be handed over to you.” James said seriously.

Rookies who still shoot 100 percent from the field after two games, it’s no wonder they attach so much importance to a rookie who doesn’t start.

Cavaliers power forward ‘Gooden’ shrugged his shoulders and said: “I think everyone should focus on Leondro first, after all, it is not a guy who can be underestimated, and it is not too late to solve the problem after he plays.” ”

The Cavaliers discussed fiercely, but the Suns players seemed calm, their tactical system is offense, and they don’t pay attention to defense.

Only when the attack was discussed, the word defense was forgotten, and the so-called tactical arrangement was discussed in less than 3 minutes.

Liu Chao looked at James on the field, and his heart was still a little excited.

After all, this is the first time he has played against a superstar on the field.

James ’07 hasn’t evolved into a full body, but dominance is already there, and there are only a handful of people in the league who can defend him at this stage.

By the small-ball era, James was the first man in the league to easily shred any team’s interior.

I remember that in his previous life, 15 years ago, James finally got the first championship ring belonging to the Cavaliers with the help of Irving, and the dominance shown at that time was comparable to that of Kobe, Jordan, and O’Neal.

Of course, if the other party does not say that he wants to shoot him, Liu Chao will also treat James as one of his idols.

The whole game begins.

Today’s game is very watchable, both sides belong to the team with a strong desire to attack, a variety of dunks, slam dunk performances emerge endlessly, and James, as the boss of the Cavaliers, staged a series of ‘strong bursts’, full of bloody dunks, even Suns fans could not help but applaud.

In addition to eating, Liu Chao also noticed the Cavaliers’ shooting guard veteran ‘Larry Hughes’ excellent breakthrough ability, but mostly relied on layups and mid-range shots, occasionally a few dunks, and barely shot blue, and he was two types of players.

On the other hand, on the Suns’ side, Nash did not make any breakthrough moves in order to preserve physical strength, but Leondro felt warmed up, hitting two three-pointers and a mid-range shot in a row, plus the hook scores of Jones and Shaun on the inside, which was comparable to the Cavaliers.

In the first quarter, players from both sides played well, both the Cavaliers and the Suns felt very good.

Leandro was even more courageous, shooting a whistle-blowing three-point shot in the first quarter to take a one-point lead.

Liu Chao looked at the rhythm of the game between the two sides, and even he was unlikely to have too many opportunities to play in the first two quarters, not to mention that Leondro’s touch was still there, and Raga Bale had not yet played.

Although D’Antoni intends to let him play at other points in time, he wants to play the role of a firefighter, after all, he is a rookie and has more to learn.

The team can’t rashly let Liu Chao climb too high at once, otherwise it will only fall worse when encountering setbacks.

At the beginning of the second quarter, as he expected, Laga Bale did not play, but let Leondro, who was still good physical and feeling, continue.

The scores were clenched, and just minutes into the second quarter, both sides had already scored to a 45-45 draw.

The strength of the confrontation is evident.

Mike Bulang on the side seemed to be calculating what this was, and D’Antoni saw James making eye contact with the other party, and immediately turned his head to look at Liu Chao.

“Super! Don’t be stunned, get ready to warm up! ”

“Huh? I? ”
