The Fifth Point Guard
Chapter 427: "Gentleman" opened the "curtain"
The playoffs finally kicked off.
The Cleveland Cavaliers ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference after the regular season, and they will face the challenge of the Miami Heat, fifth in the Eastern Conference.
Both of these teams were still big teams in the Eastern Conference last season, and this season can be said to be refreshed.
The revitalization of the Cavaliers was expected by everyone.
The arrival of Shentong, a potential player of the Nets, second in scoring list last year, and core member of the championship, has made the Cavaliers highly anticipated.
With the addition of James, who is known as the once-in-five-year high school student, the current and future of the Cavaliers are full of unlimited imagination.
As for the rise of the Heat, it was beyond the expectations of many experts.
Except for Eddie Jones, who was forgotten in the Heat, the Heat did not have any outstanding stars last season.
This season, Odom first accepted the Heat's offer and came to the warm Miami.
Of course, in addition to the quotation and the warm climate, the numerous bikini beauties in Miami Beach may also be one of the important reasons why Odom came to the Heat.
Ralph Alston, Caron Butler, and Brian Grant are all good instant strengths, but they can't affect the team's record.
Therefore, an important reason for the rise of the Heat is the arrival of Dwyane Wade, the fifth show this year.
In the regular season this season, Wade averaged 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. His performance was quite comprehensive. ,
Although it is destined to miss the best rookie, but Videto can be ranked behind James and Anthony.
This round of the series has not only attracted the attention of Cleveland and Miami, but also caused an upsurge in ratings in China.
This is because this series is not only a duel between the two teams in the first round of the playoffs, but also a Chinese derby in the playoffs!
During the offseason in the middle of the season, Chinese player Wang Zhizhi came to the Miami Heat from the Los Angeles Clippers and obtained a stable playing time.
Wang Zhizhi, who can play two positions in the interior, has gained the trust of the coach in the Heat team without a center. He averaged 15 minutes per game and is one of the team's important rotation players.
......
What Shen Tong did not expect in this round of the series is that in addition to the future teammate Wang Zhizhi of the national team, he also encountered a familiar guy.
Before the start of the game.
Shen Tong looked at Woods with a stunned expression and asked, "Hey, Loren Woods? Why are you here?"
Woods said angrily: "Why, can't I play here?"
"So you found a job in Miami."
Woods nodded and said: "There is a lack of center, I will try."
"Well, work hard, remember to say hello to Gilbert Arenas for me while fishing."
"Fuck you, it's hard to tell who will kill you!"
In a hidden corner of the live arena, a guy wearing a mask, a hood, a hoodie, and a thick gold chain on his neck sneezed heavily...
......
The first game of the first round series of the two teams is about to begin.
The starting lists of both sides in this game are:
Cavaliers: Ilgas, Boozer, James, Shentong, McGinnis;
Heat: Grant, Odom, Jones, Wade, Alston.
Before the game, Shentong and Wade shook hands and hugged each other.
"Shin, we will defeat you." Wade's challenge statement is very straightforward.
Shentong nodded and replied: "Practice well during the offseason. I will continue to wait for you next season."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Wade's cheeks bulged slightly, showing strong self-confidence and determination to win.
......
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Cavaliers got the right to attack.
But the Heat showed strong defensive pressure from the first defense.
Odom, Jones, Wade, and Alston kept double-teaming and changing defenses in an attempt to confuse the Cavaliers' offense.
Actually, the Heat have studied the Cavaliers' game video very seriously.
Although McGinnis averaged 6.1 assists per game this season, his performance and ability to withstand pressure are not good when encountering double-teams or pressing on the defensive end. The Cavaliers' offense will also be affected.
The Cavaliers’ first offense almost missed a 24 second violation.
Shentong made a buzzer shot and was lucky.
Although he was very embarrassed by the defense this round, Shentong’s goal immediately caused the Gund Arena to cheer.
This season's Shentong has the aura of "scoring king", and his strong scoring ability no longer needs Kidd's help.
Although the team's record was suppressed by the Nets, Shentong at least proved that he can get enough points without Kidd.
In the blink of an eye, Wade, who used the screen to get rid of Shentong, has burst into the penalty area like lightning, and hit the ball with a backhand before the big Z started to block.
The score became 2-2.
"Come on, Shin, let me see what Michael taught you!"
The frequency of Wade's trash talk makes Shentong seem to understand why Wade has such a big cheek gang.
should have been slapped and swollen by people because of trash talking when I was young.
But from Wade’s words, Shen Tong can hear two meanings.
One is that Wade has the confidence to defend himself in defense, and the other is that Jordan should have pointed him out, otherwise Wade would not know about himself and Jordan training in Miami during the offseason.
"Oh, Dwyane, although I am very grateful for your support during the All-Star Game, you are not yet qualified to challenge me."
Wade replied with a disdainful expression: "I don't think so, I think you dare not accept my challenge, right?"
Shen Tong smiled slightly and said, "I have many challenges, how old are you?"
As soon as the voice fell, Shentong had already started.
Wade’s response was also very quick.
But Shentong didn't want to compete with Wade with speed.
After taking two steps on the dribble, Shentong suddenly stopped.
Although Wade immediately took a deep breath and puffed up his cheeks, he still couldn't stop his footsteps.
When Shen Tong took off and shot, Wade had just stabilized his center of gravity.
"唰."
Shentong's mid-range jumper has been practiced very steadily.
At halftime, Shen Tong said to Wade next to him: "Dwyane, it was not your fault that the ball failed to prevent me just now. After all, I am an old driver, and I have already practiced the level of sudden braking."
Wade: "...Old driver?"
......
In the first quarter, the Heat's main offensive force is not Wade, but Jones and Odom.
The all-star Jones, who has passed away, played well in the first quarter. When facing James' defense, he relied on his fiery touch to make consecutive shots and caused serious damage to the Cavaliers.
James actually defended quite well when he was on the defensive position, but Jones, who was one size smaller, did not choose to fight James physically. Instead, he frequently shot cold arrows, which made James repeatedly useless.
Even before the end of the first quarter, James’ cover was already attached to his fingertips. Jones was obviously deformed when he took the shot, relying on the high parabola to avoid James’ cover.
But even so, the ball still passes through the net.
Odom also used his height advantage and half-turned hook shots to hit Boozer several times in the first quarter.
Although Boozer is physically strong and can compensate for his height disadvantage to a certain extent, Boozer has a brutal force but has nowhere to vent in the face of a player with comprehensive and delicate skills like Odom.
After the first quarter, Shentong scored 10 points in a single quarter, but the Cavaliers trailed the Heat by 4 points 22-26.
During the break, Shen Tong sat on a chair and said to James next to him: "LeBron, the feel like Eddie today is something you can't prevent and can't prevent..."
The feeling of a shooter has the most say.
In fact, when Shen Tong had performed like Jones, he felt that he could get in with his back to the basket. In this case, the shooter was completely unstoppable.
"...But there is another way to reduce Eddie's offensive performance."
James leaned his head and listened very seriously.
"That is to use offense instead of defense. When you put strong pressure on him on the offensive end and make him spend part of his energy and stamina on defense, then his investment on the offensive end will definitely be affected, and it will even affect him. The shooting feel."
The Cavaliers coach Paul Silas, who heard Shentong's dialogue with James, agreed with Shentong's words.
"LeBron, boys, Shin is right. I also noticed that Eddie Jones played very well today, so we must change our play in the second quarter..."
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers returned the ball to James at the top of the arc through a series of transfers.
Shentong attracted the Heat's double-team defense and passed the ball accurately to James.
The latter pretended to shoot, tricked Jones, and then used bulldozer-like technology to rush into the Heat's restricted area.
......
James looked at the basket with one step, two steps, three steps, and four steps.
Looking at one, two, three, four defensive players with wide eyes.
put on the basket and silently made a wish.
See if the referee’s eyes are visible.
Pray that he will not blow.
......
James' four-step layup actually escaped the referee's eyes.
Watching James take two steps, he jumped in the air and waited for Grant to cover James, but he jumped into the air.
Because this guy actually took two more steps, and then easily kicked the ball into the basket.
"Doesn't this **** walk?" the angry Grant immediately complained.
The referee stared.
The girl immediately softened.
is on the away game after all, and James’ four-step layup is indeed innocent at first glance.
......
After a lucky one, James' second personal offense was completely dependent on strength.
Drive Jones with strong biceps, with an Odom hanging on his body. James still broke into the penalty area against the Heat's defensive players. He scored the ball and caused a defensive foul by the Heat. He scored 2+. 1!
As James made a free throw, the Cavaliers, who changed their tactics, immediately surpassed the score.
Jones wanted to retaliate against James with an outside shot, but this time, his shot came out of the basket.
is effective with the tactics of offense instead of defense and consumption of opponents!
......
In order to make the effect better.
When James once again pushed Jones into the penalty area and caused a foul, James raised his arm and showed his arm muscles in front of the fans in Gund Arena.
The high-profile show being ignored by a rookie player made Jones a little irritated.
He thought of Kobe, who had pushed himself to the Heat.
is also a high school student draft, and he is also a favorite of heaven.
If it weren't for Kobe, I'm afraid that O'Neal is partnering with O'Neal, and he also believes that he is not worse than Kobe.
With O'Neal, he may also be able to win three consecutive championships, instead of being unfamiliar with the heat.
Then, an angry Jones stepped forward and slammed James with his shoulder.
James is not easy to provoke, not to mention this is the home court of the Cavaliers.
James and Jones immediately put their heads on their heads and greeted each other's parents.
The referee and his teammates hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two.
But James is very uncommon, and he is still reluctant to say something, which caused Jones to be very dissatisfied.
Heat coach Stan Van Gundy immediately called a timeout in order to keep the players calm. After all, this is Cleveland, not Miami.
If things become a big deal, they must be the ones who can't eat.
......
Resting on the bench for a while, coupled with the coach's warning, Jones finally calmed down.
But when he returned to the court, Jones's fiery touch in the first quarter could no longer come back.
Shen Tong took advantage of the impact of the heat team and led the team to score points again and again, and the difference between the two sides quickly opened to 10 points.
Wade's progress is obvious to all. He even staged a 2+1 brilliant goal in a strong beat Shentong.
However, in the next round, Shentong immediately shot a field goal from beyond the three-point line and returned the penalty.
After the first half, the Cavaliers overtook the score, with a score of 54-45, a 9-point difference.
......
In the second half, the tactics of the Heat team, which was behind in an away game, changed again.
They replaced Ralph Alston, who was not in tune with the rhythm of this game, put Wade in the first position, Jones played in the second position, and at the same time replaced Caron Butler to strengthen the offense.
Butler was a rookie player last season. In his rookie season, he averaged 15.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game. He looks like a rising star in the future.
But in this season, Butler's numbers have fallen instead of rising.
only averaged 9.2 points, 4, 8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
But it's about outside shooting ~www.ltnovel.com~ Apart from Butler, the Heat really can't find a second guy who can entrust an important task on the outside.
After changing the position, Wade began to harass McGinnis frequently.
Wade's speed was already very fast, and Shentong had to be careful when confronting him, not to mention McGinnis.
Especially when the Cavaliers attacked, McGinnis was almost unable to organize the attack by Wade.
As a result, the Cavaliers violated a 24 second violation, and a pass was intercepted in an attack.
The Heat seized these two opportunities and they all finished.
For a time, the outcome became unpredictable again.
After Wade once again broke the ball from McGinnis and dunked with one hand, Cavaliers coach Silas couldn't help calling a timeout.
......
The timeout is over and come back.
Wade saw that the player he was facing changed.
Da Juan Wagner.
"What? It turned out to be a slightly faster guy." Wade thought.
Who knew that when the Cavaliers attacked halftime, Wagner took the initiative to hand over the ball.
The guy who stood on the top of the arc and commanded his teammates to move with the ball turned out to be James.
