I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 129 Battle Knight (1)

Quicken Loans Arena was crowded with people. Most of the fans wore the classic white and red color scheme of the Cavaliers. Few of the Knicks wore orange jerseys.

Wherever there is James, there is a market, and Irving's gorgeous style of play has attracted countless fans.

The full-time commentators of the Quicken Loans Arena are called Rice and Clarke. They have been commentators for the Cavaliers since before the Cavaliers selected LeBron. Later, James transferred. The Cavaliers have not entered the playoffs for several years. Human commentary seems to be less passionate.

Later, when James returned to the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers' record rose from the ground. When the two commented, they felt a little more superior. It seemed that the commentators at home for all teams in the league were one level lower than the two.

Due to the strength of the Cavaliers, most of Jiang Mu's fans in China seemed to think that the chances of winning were slim.

"I think Jiang Mu might experience his first defeat of the season today. After all, the opponent is the Cavaliers with the Big Three."

"It doesn't matter if you lose, how can you keep winning? Jiang Mu's statistics are beautiful!"

Rice: "Karak, the Cavaliers have a very high winning percentage at home. I'm afraid the Knicks will have more losses than wins when they come to challenge this time!"

Clark: "Of course, even if you go to the Knicks' Madison Garden, I'm afraid the Knicks won't get any benefits. After all, the Knicks' Carmelo is still worse than LeBron."

The two can be regarded as the more partial partners among all commentators, even if they occasionally receive complaints and are warned by the league.

Jiang Mu, who was standing together before kick-off, looked at Owen beside him: both are 191 centimeters. The registration form says Owen's 88 kilograms must be a false report. It seems that he is not as strong as me at 85 kilograms.

But Jiang Mu knew very well that for a guard like Irving who has 1000 extraordinary skills, body size is no longer the most important factor.

A fierce battle is finally about to begin.

The Knicks' starting lineup remains unchanged, and the Cavaliers' starting five are the Big Three plus JR and Mozgov.

Mozgov and Tristan Thompson usually start interspersed, which is adjusted according to the opponent's lineup.

The Cavaliers successfully jumped the ball, and Irving took the ball forward and faced Jiang Mu.

"I heard you are famous now?"

For a famous player like Irving, Jiang Mu naturally knew a little bit about his character.

"It's far worse than you. After all, you are one of the few people who know that the earth is flat."

Owen dribbled his body unexpectedly: "How do you know that I think the earth is flat? Do you think so too?"

Jiang Mu didn't want to talk anymore.

Owen was still chattering: "Since we have a common understanding, I will be more merciful to you today, and I won't let you lose too badly!"

Jiang Mu knew that Owen's trash talk was very good, so Jiang Mu, who was also good at it, naturally wouldn't take it to heart.

The head coach of the Cavaliers, David Blatt, does not have a high status in coaching the team. This kind of thing is normal in this star-based league.

Irving did not implement the opening tactic arranged by coach Blatt. Love, who was about to catch the ball near the free throw line, and Blatt, who was off the court, shook their heads at the same time.

Owen has always thought that he is the best point guard in the league. Facing the sudden emergence of Jiang Mu, he naturally had the idea of ​​teaching him a lesson.

"I'm stupid! Is it so exciting? Owen is going to single out Jiang Mu when he comes up?"

"Jiang Mu's defense is good, but I personally feel that Irving's offense is better."

Owen's dribbling is very fancy, but at the same time it is very practical. As a very competitive person, he has a high golf quotient, but his emotional intelligence is extremely low. Such a contradiction has gained countless fans.

Owen suddenly changed direction and accelerated after a few crotches in a row. Jiang Mu reacted quickly and blocked Owen's breakthrough route with his right foot, but Owen turned back immediately. Owen, who had just finished, shook his left hand again, and the ball came to his right in an instant. Jiang Mu was startled, and regardless of the tilt of his body, he still took a step sideways to Owen's right.

What was unexpected was that Owen turned back again, and Jiang Mu couldn't keep up at this time.

Jiang Mu could only watch Owen raise his hand for a jump shot. Fortunately, Owen didn't seem to get used to the touch at the beginning and missed a hit.

"How is it? Are you stressed?"

Facing Owen's provocation, Jiang Mu unexpectedly nodded.

"Big! It's hard to defend!"

Owen has never met someone like Jiang Mu, and under normal circumstances, the other party will spit back with trash talk. Owen feels that his mouth full of trash talk doesn't seem to be effective.

Jiang Mu advanced to the front court and did not respond tit-for-tat with Owen, but organized the attack in a regular manner.

The Knicks felt good today, and their offensive efficiency was also good. They even beat the Cavaliers 7:20 in the first 9 minutes.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Cavaliers seem to be underestimating the enemy. Irving's non-executive tactics do not have a high shooting rate, which has an impact on the entire Cavaliers team.

During the timeout, Blatter vaguely reminded that when he played again, he was going to replace Thompson, who didn't have much possession of the ball.

The Knicks played steadily but performed relatively normally. Jiang Mu made two shots and hit a goal in the first quarter, but sent 3 assists and grabbed [-] rebounds.

The Knicks players saw the difference between Jiang Mu and the previous few games, and felt that Jiang Mu should be suppressed by the top guards in the league, so they kindly reminded him.

Anthony: "Jiang, Irving has many offensive methods and is very difficult to defend, but to be honest, you are the best defender I have ever seen defending Irving. Don't be intimidated by him. His shooting percentage has been suppressed by you. "

Lopez: "Yes, Jiang, we lead by 11 points. This is due to your defensive defense. You must adjust your mentality when facing Irving."

Jiang Mu was very puzzled, and faced the kindness of his teammates, he explained:
"Actually not! It's not what you think! It's the first time I've encountered a guard with Owen's style of play. I'm practicing defense and learning the diversity of his offense. He is obviously strong offensively and weak defensively. I If you want to fight, you should be able to eat him just by speed! You guys feel good, you don’t need me to attack at all now, don’t think about it!"

Everyone including Fisher was taken aback:
Grass!This kid is a beast!Take advantage of this opportunity to learn?It seems that all the worries about him are unnecessary. What kind of IQ and golf quotient is this?However, he is really a good guard. Although he has only played a few games, he now averages more points per game than Carmelo, and ranks first in the league in assists. Although I don’t know if he will stabilize his position in the assist list, the Knicks How many years has the team gone without a double-digit guard in assists?The main thing is selflessness. His teammates can deliver the ball whenever they have a chance. It's hard to imagine that this is a first-year student.

Facing the strange eyes of his teammates, Jiang Mu still misunderstood: Alas!Do I have to respond strongly to Owen to believe that my mentality is okay?But I haven't learned enough yet!I also have a "imitation copy badge", which is white. It would be a waste not to learn from a player like Irving.
