Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 371 Invitation to Head-Up

[Look at whether the Lakers can maintain a longer winning streak or the Cavaliers.

The winner can make a request to the loser.
Any request is welcome!
This is our bet!
Now, the betting begins! 】

When Zhao Hao saw this text message, he didn't need to think about it to know that it was from Corvo.

Only he can have such fighting spirit and determination.

However, in the text message, Kobe didn't give Zhao Hao the slightest chance to hesitate or choose, and he directly and domineeringly announced that the betting contract had begun.

Zhao Hao really wanted to say, Hey, Corvo, why are you still so shameless!
"It's just that the strength shown by the Lakers after the start of the game is stronger than I imagined!

They also show few glaring weaknesses.

Although the Cavaliers also played a wave of good results after the start of the game, the problem is still there!

And the whole league knows it!

That's the problem with our weak bench and point guard.

It's just that this problem is covered up forcibly now thanks to the efforts of James and me.

However, once encountering such a strong team, there is always the possibility of an explosion.

Therefore, on the bright side, the chances of the Lakers winning streak should be greater! "

Of course, Zhao Hao will not refuse Kobe's invitation because of this.

In that case, I'm afraid he will be underestimated by the blacksmith.

Moreover, last season, the Cavaliers were also inferior to the Spurs and Heat in terms of lineup strength. Didn't they still win?
Therefore, the strength of the lineup is one aspect, and the fighting spirit and desire for victory displayed by the players on the field is another aspect!

11 month 11 day.

The Cavaliers challenge the Denver Nuggets away.

This is also the second strong team that the Cavaliers have encountered since the opening game.

After Iverson was traded to the Nuggets in advance, the chemical reaction between him and Melo Anthony was amazing.

They are currently ranked third in the Western Conference with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

Before the game, Iverson vowed: "In this game, we will give the defending champion some color.

The Nuggets will also prove to fans all over the world that we already have the strength to compete for the championship!

And Zhao Hao. I will also let him know that in terms of breakthroughs, labor and capital are number one in the world! "

Zhao Hao, who was warming up on the court, naturally knew about it from Nami, a child shoe.

"Iverson's breakthrough is indeed qualified to be the number one in the league, and even the top three in history is completely justified.

But I, Zhao Ritian, will not be afraid of you either! "

Zhao Hao also wanted to compete with Iverson, who was fully fired, to see whose offensive firepower was more ferocious!

The starting lineup for the Nuggets this season includes point guard Allen Iverson, shooting guard JR Smith, small forward Carmelo Anthony, power forward Kenyon Martin and center Marcus Camby.

"Nervous knife JR. Smith?"

It was only then that Zhao Hao remembered that during the off-season, because he was dissatisfied with the lack of reuse by the team management, JR. Smith also applied for a trade.

The Hornets, who got the news, were also very happy. In their eyes, JR. Smith was a troublesome team cancer, and he did not know how many harmful things he did.

So in this way, he was out of sight and out of mind, so he threw it directly to the Bulls.

But the Bulls are also afraid of JR. Smith's reputation, so they don't want it either!
Poor JR, it's true that the prodigal son hasn't returned yet.

And the Nuggets got JR from the Bulls only after paying a bench player Howard Eisley and a second-round pick.

"If I remember correctly, JR. Smith should have been on the bench after being traded to the Nuggets. Why is he starting now?"

What Zhao Hao didn't know was that because of Iverson's early arrival, Nuggets coach George Karl really wanted to see what kind of results he could achieve with the team's strongest offensive lineup.

So far, the experiment looks good.

JR Smith also perfectly proved that he is a very good offensive player, averaging 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

Among them, the three-point shooting rate reached 40%!

This is also the most since his rookie game.

Seeing this data, the management of the Hornets and Bulls probably fainted in the toilet.

With this statistic, a first-round pick is definitely needed!

on the field,
At this time the game has already started.

Old Camby accidentally jumped the ball from Big Z.

This year's Camby is almost 33 years old, but what is puzzling is that Camby at this age has really ushered in the pinnacle of his career.

From the opening game until now, Camby averaged 12 points and 12 rebounds per game, and was able to send 3 blocks at the same time!
It is precisely because of this data that he is now a favorable contender for DPOY and is ranked first.

And the second place is the Lakers' Wolf King Garnett.

Zhao Hao also really wants to say, you wolf king Garnett is really everywhere, can I still complete my mission!

The Nuggets launched an offense.

first ball.

Open the audience!

Iverson signaled him to play singles.

This is their style of play too!
George Karl is a very smart head coach. He knows that Iverson and Anthony are the kind of players who are very keen on singles.

And both of them are very good in singles.

So he simply designed the offensive tactics simpler, that is, let Iverson and Anthony play singles with the ball.

At the same time, he also specially designed tactics to maximize the team's contribution after the two play singles.

George Karl arranges center Camby to hover in the restricted area under the basket. The main task is to rebound and second offense.

With Camby's offensive level not much better than Big Ben's, he can only do this kind of thing.

Kenyon Martin at power forward supports the high post and hits the rim.

Although Kenyon Martin had suffered knee and leg injuries before, his athletic ability was directly cut by half.

But this guy is the No. [-] pick in the NBA!

His ability to hit the basket and eat cakes is still among the top ten power forwards in the league.

And so far this season, he has also been able to average a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds per game.

As for the other players, they are constantly interspersed with running positions on the court, or they can open up an excellent post-back singles space for Anthony.

On the court, Iverson glanced at Zhao Hao, then held the ball with both hands above his head and placed it behind his back.

Singles Invited!
This is also a common action to invite heads-up on the field.

It's just that most players dare not be as arrogant as Iverson, so they will not directly make such an action in the NBA.

However, Iverson doesn't care about these!

He was even more arrogant than that blacksmith in Los Angeles!
Zhao Hao clapped his hands and signaled Iverson to come over.

call!call!
It is also a butterfly wearing a flower, and Iverson's range of motion is even more exaggerated than Zhao Hao.

Immediately after that was an extremely fast first step, Iverson passed Zhao Hao in an instant and went straight to the basket!

"I swear, in terms of breakthrough ability, I have never seen a player who is better than Iverson.

His movements are too deceptive. "

Cole couldn't help thinking about the pre-match interview before the game started.

Iverson is indeed very confident, and Zhao Hao is indeed inferior to him in terms of breakthrough ability, but...
boom!
A block that shocked everyone suddenly appeared, and the basketball was slammed into the eighth and ninth rows of the auditorium.

Iverson, who failed in the layup, glanced at Zhao Hao with some displeasure.

"I didn't expect your wingspan to be so good for this ball. I will definitely not let you block the next ball."

Zhao Hao nodded in confidence, but he also said the same thing: "The next ball, I won't let you shoot me past so easily."
