Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 306 The first round of the playoffs

On April 4, the first round of the playoffs begins!
Cleveland, located on the south bank of Lake Ili, rarely experienced light rain at this time.

But even so, it can't stop the enthusiasm of countless fans in this simple town.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed to Quicken Loans Arena.

Even their mayor called on everyone to go to the arena to cheer for their home team.

Before the game, ESPN also gave a prediction for this round of playoffs.

4: 0!

The Cavaliers swept to advance!
"I really can't think of any way for the Bucks to solve the two problems of James and Zhao Hao.

They are really outstanding, and this pair of Wang Zha is also the most difficult candidate in the league, not one of them. "

Hearing groom Albert's remarks, Kenny Smith nodded in agreement.

"LeBron is the new MVP!

Zhao Hao is also the league's three-point leader, Most Improved Player, Best Sixth Man, and All-Star MVP.

With the current strength of the Bucks, it is indeed impossible to be the opponent of the Cavaliers. "

Hearing these remarks, all members of the Bucks who were in the visiting team's locker room looked as if they were wearing hats, and their faces were ashen.

Michael Reed slapped the wardrobe next to him angrily.

"Don't think they've won!
No one in the Bucks intends to resign themselves to their fate and hand over the victory! "

"My city hasn't played in the playoffs in 8 years!"

Looking at the countless fans who have gathered outside the player tunnel and cheering for them, LeBron said with a little sigh.

3 years, this is the third year of his career.

He didn't lead the city to the playoffs until today.

And those 8-year-olds even saw the playoffs in their own city for the first time.

This day is long enough!

Hearing this, Zhao Hao nodded.

He understands James' affection for his hometown.

In his previous life, Lao Zhan deliberately returned to Cleveland from Miami, and he had already revealed the other party's feelings.

His affection for his hometown is deeper than most people think.

This time the players enter the field!
As the second-best player, Zhao Hao was greeted with shouts and applause from the entire Quicken Loans Arena from the moment he walked into the player tunnel.

Then James came on stage at the finale, and the applause was even more thunderous!
This is his city!

Zhao Hao subconsciously glanced at the status of the opposite Bucks players.

"Huh?! They don't have stage fright at all?

This is the team with the best record in the league! "

Zhao Hao already faintly sensed something was wrong, and the attitude of the Bucks on the opposite side was still a little eager to try.

Just want to have a head-on confrontation with the Cavaliers!
After the players enter the field,

Game start!
The starting lineup sent by the Bucks is point guard TJ Ford, shooting guard Michael Reed, small forward Bobby Simmons, power forward Jamal Magloire and this year's No. [-] pick Bogut.

This is the Twin Towers lineup!

The Cavaliers are still regular starters.

Big Z jumps off the ball.

Snow dribbled the ball halfway, and when he was about to hand the ball to James, TJ Ford made a sudden rush!

"Steal it! TJ Ford is so fast!"

Everyone on the field didn't react, and TJ Ford's speed was too fast, so Zhao Hao really didn't have the confidence to catch up.

So I can only watch TJ Ford score a layup!

"I didn't expect that the first ball in the series between the Cavaliers and the Bucks would end with the Cavaliers making a mistake and being counterattacked."

Kenny Smith shook his head speechlessly.

This Cavaliers team is too disappointing!
In the next round, James took the initiative to come to the backcourt to catch the ball.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao also heaved a sigh of relief.

With James dribbling, the halftime problem can naturally be solved.

Although Lao Zhan doesn't like the Bucks from the bottom of his heart, he will never underestimate the enemy.

After all, this is the first playoff trip of his career!

Bobby Simmons of the Bucks led the defense against James, and from time to time he took a ball to interfere, and kept talking trash.

Although his defense is slightly above the league average, he has no major problems against the small forwards of most teams in the league.

But if he wants to defend James, he still has self-knowledge.

So I hope to use other ways to interfere with James' state.

Lao Zhan was obviously a little annoyed by the opponent, and besides, this was the first goal of the Cavaliers playoffs this year.

Of course he wants to fight!
Without calling the pick-and-roll, James just carried Bobby Simmons to kill!

Jamal and Bogut on the inside rushed over in an instant, and the three surrounded them!
This ball is a little risky.

Zhao Hao knew that James did not have a stable mid-range shooting ability during this period, so he quickly opened his hands and shouted for the ball.

Lao Zhan, who usually passes the main pass, did not pass the ball!

Instead, he made a turnaround jumper against the defense of the three.

Swish!
Basketball hollow into the net!

Hey, don't say it, Lao Zhan is really in shape!
In the next round, the Bucks star Michael Reid took the initiative to ask for the ball in the high post.

This is also intended to be the same as James, to play the first ball by himself and contribute to the team.

It's just that Zhao Hao is defending him!
At this time, Zhao Hao also took the initiative to take a step forward to seal Reid's three-point shooting space, and then left the breakthrough space on the left.

He knows Michael Reid's offensive methods better than anyone else, and his shooting ability is his special skill.

But the ability to break through and cause damage is not at the top of the league!
"Brother, you are very good at defense!

But there are always times when you don't match me, right? "

Seeing Zhao Hao's targeted defensive position, Reed smiled and said, and then immediately called his teammates to come to pick and roll.

At this time, the Bucks sent an inside double pick-and-roll, freeing up the entire penalty area for Reed.

His breakthrough is not strong, but because of his strong shooting ability, who dares to play outside?
This attack defends the outside line, but the inside line is empty.

At any rate, Jia De is also a serious All-Star guard. The big fish in the free market last year had a problem with the last empty basket?
boom!
The back was suddenly blocked, Zhao Hao was almost blinded, and at this time Reed also entered the penalty area and scored with an easy basket!

"I'm so special!"

Zhao Hao turned his head and glanced angrily, and Bogut said with a harmless appearance.

"What's the matter, are you dissatisfied with my black hands?

I heard that your breakthrough is very powerful, you can come in and try it later, believe it or not if I fall over my shoulder? "

After talking trash, Bogut deliberately bumped into Zhao Hao when he returned to defense.

I have a little temper!
Zhao Hao rolled his mouth, which made him angry.

You Bogut is still a rookie, how dare you play, if you play for a long time in the future, you will not be against the sky?

James on the side also obviously saw that Zhao Hao was being bullied, so he still took the initiative to ask for the next ball, and then called Big Z to come out for the pick-and-roll.

This is to find a place for Zhao Hao!
The tank layup is coming!

Can you believe that a small forward is attacking the inside with a big center?

James just pushed Bogut from the outside to the inside, and jumped directly in the penalty area!

"It's about to dunk!"

SSTV commentary station, Director Su said nervously.

Bogut couldn't hold back his face at this time.

It's a bit embarrassing to be bullied like this by a small forward.

So at this moment, James, who was flying in the air, was concealed by Bogut with both hands, and flew directly out of the field.

"It's over, it's over! James was pushed three meters away and crashed into the camera area.

This game has only been played for a few minutes, is there going to be a fight? "

On the court, all the Cavaliers players were stunned, looking at each other and not knowing what to do.

Only Zhao Hao rushed over fiercely and gave Bogut a hard push.

If it wasn't for the very important playoffs, Zhao Hao would even want to ride on his opponent's neck again.

This is too arrogant!

"If you have the ability, you can hit me and see if you are important to the Cavaliers or I am important to the Bucks.

Big deal, we both expel, you see I will fight back! "

But Bogut counterattacked more arrogantly than Zhao Hao imagined.

This is really a talent, and indeed a ruthless character.

At this time, the three referees rushed over, but it was obvious that the three of them pulled Zhao Hao away on purpose.

After all, Rashid had already said that Zhao Hao knew kung fu, and the three of them had also seen Zhao Hao's ruthlessness while riding a human explosive hammer.

Therefore, it is reasonable to pull away this ruthless man who fights fiercely first.

At the same time, the referee also judged that Zhao Hao and Bogut both had technical fouls in this conflict.

Bogut made a technical offense against James, and Zhao Hao also made a technical offense against Bogut.

At this time, James also came out with the support of the team doctor, and his scalp hit the camera casing, bleeding profusely.

At this time, the team doctor also hurried to Mike Brown and signaled James to go down to get stitches and stop the bleeding, at least he couldn't play the first quarter.

When Mike Brown heard the result, he could only helplessly spread his hands.

"What are you doing in a daze, now you know how ruthless your opponents are in the playoffs!"

At this time, Zhao Hao also hurriedly reminded his teammates who were still in the circle.

The game continues.

Zhao Hao entered his role ahead of time, receiving the ball from outside the three-point line and starting singles.

Michael Reid, who was defending him, was also nervous, and quickly called his teammates to come over for the pick-and-roll.

After all, the two teams had already met during the regular season, so Reid knew very well that he really couldn't guard against Zhao Hao's breakthrough.

Bobby Simmons is here to help!

Marshall who replaced James, this guy's three-pointer ability is not bad!

This season, Marshall has achieved an average of 39% of three-pointers per game, which is even a little higher than Zhao Hao's 38%.

Zhao Hao moved the ball quickly, but the Bucks' rotation defense was also done in a timely manner.

TJ Ford pounced.

Facing TJ Ford, who was a head shorter than himself, Marshall still confidently chose a three-point shot!
boom!
The ball went wide!
"No, the teammates are too soft.

Facing the high-standard defense of the Bucks, Marshall obviously couldn't shoot the ball, and his shooting percentage may have to decline! "

At this time, the Bucks also launched a counterattack, and TJ Ford once again scored the ball with speed and scored a layup.

Snow, the positional defense he is proud of is completely useless against the extremely fast TJ Ford.

　Tomorrow, every day.

　　I love you guys.
