NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 327 James Thinks He Can Win

On the 11th, the Clippers played against the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

This is a high-profile game, not only He Xinghui VS James, but also whether He Xinghui's mind is still on basketball, whether the Clippers will lose three games in a row, and whether it will go downhill from then on.

A large number of media reporters gathered at the scene, waiting for the big news to happen.

As long as the Clippers lose this game, they can play up the argument of "the Clippers are dead, He Xinghui is dead" to their heart's content, which is guaranteed to be very attractive to readers.

When the players came out and He Xinghui entered the field, some pure fans held placards, calling on He Xinghui to focus on the game and not to engage in other things.

They were worried about He Xinghui.

He Xinghui ignored this.

He can't tell fans that he has a cheat and everything is under control, don't panic.

Let's not tell the truth, no matter what he says, those fans who are worried will always be worried, so we can only let them worry.

Warming up before the game, James glanced at He Xinghui from time to time.

He knew that He Xinghui had set up a fund and crowd-raised a lot of money, which was very good.

In this regard, James is both envious and fortunate.

He was fortunate that He Xinghui's mind was not entirely on basketball, so that he had the hope of catching up with He Xinghui.Otherwise, he really has no confidence.

"Beat him, start from this game."

James secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

TNT, Barkley and Smith did not talk about the upcoming game, but they were talking about He Xinghui's gossip.

"Charles, how much money have you invested in your cousin's fund?"

Smith asked.

"1000."

Buckley said.

"Oh Maikar, this should be all your property, right? You are stud, what if you lose money?"

Smith exclaimed.

"I will take my wife and children to live with my cousin and let him support me for the rest of my life."

After finishing speaking, Barkley asked: "What about you, how much did you vote?"

"I'm poor, so I just invested 100 million."

Smith said.

Their discussion made more fans interested in the Five Star Fund.

However, unfortunately, they are too late, and the Five Star Fund has stopped accepting investment.

The warm-up is over and the game begins.

The Clippers' starters are Livingston, He Xinghui, Maggette, Gasol, and Kaman.

The Cavaliers are Barbosa, Larry Hughes, James, Drew Gooden, Ilgauskas.

This lineup looks ordinary at first glance.In addition to James, Larry Hughes and Ilgauskas are just quasi-stars, and Barbosa and Gooden are both role players.

However, relying on this lineup, they have achieved the No. [-] record in the Eastern Conference.

The main reason is that their lineup is relatively reasonable. James can hit the basket to attract double-teams, and Barbosa has an excellent three-point ability.

Both Gooden and Big Z have the ability to shoot mid-range shots, which can help James pull the opponent's inside line out of the basket.

Their only disadvantage is that Larry Hughes' style of play is similar to James', with overlapping roles, and the abilities of Barbosa Gooden and others are not top-notch.

If Larry Hughes is replaced by Lagabel, Barbosa's three-pointers will be 10 percentage points more accurate, Gooden's defense will be better, and Big Z's rebounds will be stronger, and they will be invincible.

The whistle goes first, Big Z puts the ball into James' hands, and James controls the ball and advances.

The Cavaliers now have two organization points, one is James and the other is Barbosa, which makes their offense very smooth.

After halftime, James faced Maggette and started.

Compared with strength, Maggette doesn't boo James, but he suffers slightly from speed.

James barely passed Maggette and rushed to the basket, but unfortunately he didn't pick up the speed.

Gasol blocked, James gave the ball to Gooden, Gooden made a mid-range shot and scored.

The Cavaliers scored, and the Clippers fans are not particularly panicked yet.After all, the Clippers' defense has always been average, and they all rely on offense to kill their opponents.

The Clippers attacked, Livingston advanced with the ball, and He Xinghui ran without the ball.

Facing Larry Hughes who followed him closely, He Xinghui complained: "Why do you have to work so hard, anyway, you are not happy staying in the Cavaliers. The more you work hard, the more reluctant they are to let you go."

In 05, Larry Hughes averaged 22 points per game for the Wizards.

But after coming to the Cavaliers, his scoring average has dropped to 14.9 points per game.

Although there is an injury factor, the overlap between his style of play and James is the problem.

He will, James can do better.James won't, and he can't do it.Therefore, he can't help James.

Larry Hughes didn't respond.

Because of He Xinghui, NBA players have generally improved their resistance to trash talk.

Trash talk didn't work, He Xinghui pretended to run two steps to the left, and then suddenly turned to the right.

When Larry Hughes reacted, he was already a step slow. Livingston's pass was very timely, and He Xinghui caught the ball and shot it.

The ball goes in.

"Honestly, you should take time off today. Defense is already your only bright spot, and now you're missing even that."

He Xinghui continued to pierce the opponent's heart.

"You are dreaming, I will not let you score easily again."

Larry Hughes replied.

Offensive and defensive transitions, James broke through with the ball, but Maggette still couldn't defend.

If James is so easy to defend, this Cavaliers will be mediocre.

Livingston went up to double-team, James scored Barbosa, and Barbosa made a three-pointer and also scored.

"The Cavaliers' offense is really smooth. Before the start of the season, no one thought that this Cavaliers could be so strong."

Smith sighed.

"Wrong, someone thought of it. If you think about it carefully, before the start of the season, when everyone was optimistic about the Lakers, my cousin was optimistic about the Cavaliers and the Spurs. Now, none of the teams' records prove his vision. "

Barkley reminded.

"When you said that, I remembered that interview. I hope my cousin's vision in the business world is as accurate as in the basketball world."

Smith said.

On the court, the Clippers were attacking, and He Xinghui reminded Livingston: "Don't bag James, let me do it, just follow Barbosa."

Livingston nodded, as Dunleavy had taught him before the game.

However, as soon as he got to the court and saw James make a breakthrough, he couldn't help but move over.

Livingston took possession of the ball for halftime and then called He Xinghui to handle it.

He Xinghui carefully controlled the ball.

After all, Larry Hughes was once the steals king, averaging 2.9 steals per game, and his stealing skills are very good.

Larry Hughes used an oppressive defense, and He Xinghui couldn't break through, so he just took off and made a strong shot.

In order to blow Larry Hughes' confidence, He Xinghui also used a small prop.

The ball goes in.

"Don't you think that you can defend me for a while, and you can gather a starter for a while in my hands."

He Xinghui said.

"."

Larry Hughes.

He Xinghui's goal really made him feel frustrated.

It is obvious that the defense is very good, but the opponent is able to enter, which is really annoying.

"The Clippers won."

After only two rounds of the game, Barkley announced the result of the game.

"why?"

Smith asked.

"Didn't you notice? Cousin made an unreasonable three-pointer. Whenever he makes a goal like this, it means he's in good shape, he's in good shape, and the Cavaliers still have a chance?"

Barkley analyzed that there are reasons and evidence.

On the court, the Cavaliers attacked, and He Xinghui left Larry Hughes to double-team James.

James can only pass the ball to Larry Hughes.

If it is Barbosa who catches the ball, Barbosa can shoot directly.

However, Larry Hughes' three-point ability is so-so, he chose to rush to the basket.

And this gave He Xinghui enough time to return to his position, and he was blocked in front of Larry Hughes.

Larry Hughes' breakthrough ability is far worse than that of James.

Facing He Xinghui's defense, he had no choice but to stop and shoot.

It's not the way he's good at scoring.

Sure enough, there was no accident, the ball struck iron.

The Cavaliers retreated quickly, and James was very depressed.

He very much hopes that the team can trade Larry Hughes and replace him with a player who can shoot three-pointers and defend He Xinghui.

However, Larry Hughes' contract is too big, and no one wants it for free.

After halftime for the Clippers, He Xinghui failed to break through and gave the ball to Gasol.

Gasol missed Gooden in singles.

The defense of this Cavaliers is very good, it can rank in the top five in the league, and the offense can rank in the top four, with excellent offense and defense.

The Cavaliers attack, this time it is Barbosa's turn to control the ball, and James runs without the ball.

After throwing off Maggette, James received the pass and drove to the inside to score a layup.

In the transition between offense and defense, He Xinghui broke through and missed Larry Hughes this time, and went to the basket to face Big Z's defense and directly took off for a dunk.

Big Z was a little flustered and chose to avoid it.

He has suffered two injuries and doesn't want to go head-to-head like this again.

The dunk was successful, and the fans at the scene began to cheer.

From the current point of view, He Xinghui is in a hot state.

The Cavaliers attacked, James frowned.

He felt that he was too unlucky. In the previous Clippers games, He Xinghui was either absent or in a mediocre state.

When it was his turn, his state suddenly became fiery, which was simply too much.

The Cavaliers played very efficiently at the beginning of the offense, but the score was still behind, and James began to worry.

Fortunately, James will not mess around like Kobe after he is anxious. He continues to play according to tactics.

Break first, then split the ball.

This time Kaman didn't follow the basket, Big Z caught the ball and shot, but the result was missed.

Big Z's shot this time will be very good, but a good chance does not mean that he will definitely hit it.

In the transition between offense and defense, He Xinghui and Gasol played a pick-and-roll, and then He Xinghui faced Gooden's defense and stepped back to shoot.Gooden's speed is slower than He Xinghui's, and He Xinghui's shot will be very good this time.

However, the ball just missed.

This is normal in a basketball game.

A good chance doesn't mean you can get in.

"I finally missed a shot, but it turned out that you didn't defend it."

After hitting the iron, He Xinghui's mentality was still very relaxed, and he was even in the mood to tease Larry Hughes.

[The anger value from Larry Hughes is 77 points. 】

Finally, Larry Hughes broke the defense.

On the one hand, he was angry with He Xinghui, and on the other hand, he was angry with God, because he felt that his current poor performance was due to bad luck.

The Cavaliers attacked, James repeated his old tricks, and Big Z scored.

In the transition between offense and defense, Livingston saw his teammates running into tactics, and the chances were not good, so he simply threw one himself.

The ball missed, but Gasol grabbed an offensive rebound and scored the second time.

This hurt the morale of the knights.

Obviously he has defended well, but it was in vain because of rebounds.

The two teams continued to come and go, playing a [-]-[-] split.

By the 9th minute, 28 to 27, the Clippers led by 1 point, He Xinghui and Kaman went off to rest.

As soon as they played, the Cavaliers immediately took advantage and beat the Clippers 8-4.

32 to 35, in the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by three points.

They weren't particularly happy, though.

After all, He Xinghui will play with a substitute in the second quarter, and the Cavaliers can only laugh when they have survived that period of time.

After a short intermission, the second quarter begins.

The Clippers are Cassel, Mobley, He Xinghui, Millsap, and Norman.

For the Cavaliers, the point guard is Gibson, a second-round pick this year.

The reason why he can be mixed into an important rotation is because he has a good three-point ability, which makes the Cavaliers feel that he is worth cultivating.

The shooting guard was Damon Jones, a self-proclaimed best shooter on the planet, who defended badly and had [-]s.

Small forward Ira Niubeier, an unknown person, was used by the Cavaliers to make up the numbers.

After all, at the small forward position, James has to play 42 minutes alone.

Ira and the other piece of trash only had to survive less than 6 minutes to complete their task.

The power forward is the Brazilian actor Varejao, a player who is good at diving.Of course, there is also strength.

Center Dwayne Jones is also a make-up.

The contracts of James, Larry Hughes, and Big Z are all very large, and the contracts of Barbosa and Gooden are not small. The salary space of the Cavaliers is very limited.

Game start.

The Cavaliers attacked, He Xinghui chose to switch defenses with Mobley, and he was going to talk trash to Damon Jones.

"Damon, you said you are the best shooter on the planet, what about me, where do I rank?"

He Xinghui asked friendlyly.

"."

Damon Jones.

Even if he has a thick skin, it is impossible to rank himself ahead of He Xinghui.

After all, his best is self-proclaimed.And He Xinghui's best is recognized.

"You can be number one, I'm number two."

Damon Jones smiled innocently, he thought his answer was nice.

As they chatted, the ball was in Varejao's hands, and Varejao made a shot.

"As the second best shooter on the planet, why don't they pass you the ball."

He Xinghui mocked.

[The anger value from Damon Jones is 50 points. 】

Damon Jones was very angry. He felt that he had given He Xinghui face by ranking He Xinghui first.

But now, He Xinghui didn't save face for him.

In the transition between offense and defense, He Xinghui reached out for the ball, singled Damon Jones, and made a hit.

"If you think you're the second-best scorer please don't put me ahead of you, it's disrespectful to put me in that kind of list."

He Xinghui sprayed.

[The anger value from Damon Jones is 60 points. 】

Damon Jones continues to contribute to He Xinghui.
