The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 19 Please Speak Chinese
Mo Williams, who made a three-pointer, raised his hands high, his fingers arranged in a three-point pattern in the air, and he walked back to the half court with his head held high. His defiance of everything seemed to be the Cavaliers second leader standing next to LeBron James !
With a commotion from the sidelines, Anthony Parker successfully defended against Stephen Jackson's breakthrough, causing the opponent's dribble error, and the ball hit Jackson's leg and bounced off the baseline.

Larry Brown couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up from his seat and came to the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the court.

Yuan Man received the ball again, and the audience immediately burst into cheers, but Yuan Man did not attack this time, but continued to pass the ball to Williams who had a chance through the pick-and-roll. Williams immediately attracted the attention of all Bobcats players, two defenders DJ-Augustin and Stephen-Jackson all rushed to Williams.

Williams, who has always shot three-pointers and only cared about his own excitement, didn't force his shot and distributed the ball. This time, it was Anthony Parker who missed the defense after Jackson made up the defense and got the open three-pointer.

Parker adjusted slightly after receiving the ball, and then shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner. The feeling of the open three-pointer tactics from the bottom corner in the James era is back!
As the ball passed through the net, the score became a 31-31 tie!The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and the Bobcats called a timeout!

Brown finally couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that his team's 10-point advantage established in the first quarter was quickly tied in the second quarter, and the performance of the Cavaliers players on the court was getting better and better. The first timeout of the game in this period.

About 4 minutes into the second quarter, the Cavaliers beat the Bobcats 12-2 and pulled back the disadvantage in an instant. In this wave of attacks, Yuan Man contributed 6 points and 1 assist. In the end, Parker's The three-pointer is actually an indirect assist by Yuan Man. It can be said that this wave was completely set off by Yuan Man.

Mo Williams drank mineral water, stood next to Yuan Man and looked at the young man who was wiping his sweat at close range. He felt that although James was gone, the small forward position did not seem to be a black hole for the team in the new season. .

On the Bobcats side, Jagged coach Brown became angry, especially yelling at Jackson and Wallace: "What are you doing? Even if the opponent is a young player, you must not be careless. The 10-point advantage was tied in an instant. Now, this is the NBA! Every player who can set foot on this court has two brushes, whether he is American, European or Asian!"

Under Larry's majestic scolding, no one dared to speak out, even Jackson, who had always been disobedient, did not dare to speak back.

"Larry, that Asian player is not an ordinary Asian player." Wallace took the towel off his face after wiping sweat, and said seriously to Brown.

"Stephen, the Asian player is handed over to you." Brown said directly to Jackson beside Wallace without hesitation.

"No problem." Jackson is also a master who likes to challenge, especially when it comes to difficult bones in the opponent's lineup. Jackson likes to tiptoe on the opposite side.

After the timeout, neither side made substitutions. Under normal circumstances, the main purpose of this preseason game is to inspect players. However, it seems that both the Cavaliers and Bobcats want to win this game, so this game is as intense as it is. in an official regular season.

A good start is half the battle. Everyone wants to make a good start for their new season.

Jackson and Wallace of the Bobcats alternated positions, Wallace switched to shooting guard, and Jackson stood in front of Yuan Man.

Brown is full of confidence in Jackson's defense. Although Jackson and Wallace's defensive level is similar in terms of single defense ability, but in terms of defensive effect, Jackson is much higher, because in addition to regular defensive methods, Jackson also has Many other ways, such as. Trash talk.

"Hey, yellow-haired boy, why haven't I seen you before, have you just come to play in the NBA, then you have to be careful, don't get injured before the start of the season, I play very aggressively." Jackson started himself trash talking tactics.

Yuan Man looked back at Jackson, and replied in fluent English: "I'm sorry, I can't understand what you are saying, please speak Chinese."

"." Jackson was stunned for a moment. After searching his mind, only a few scattered words appeared: Hello, thank you, sorry, you're so stupid.

Just when Jackson was in a trance, the Cavaliers completed a wave of successful defense and turned from defense to offense!

Williams advanced quickly, came near the three-point line and made a false pass. Jamison, who was rushing to the inside, received the ball, and instead of facing Kwame Brown for a layup, he threw the ball behind Brown. , Muhammad saw that the ball was too high, and he could only watch the ball fly from his upper left to the right, and then there was the familiar figure, who caught Jamison's pass in the air with both hands, and dunked into the basket with both hands Inside!
This time Yuan Man dunked with both hands full of strength. At the same time, Yuan Man, who jumped high, completely stretched his movements in the air. The moment he scored the goal, his legs curled up, as if he was sitting in the air. dunk! 33-31, the Cavaliers finally overtook the score!
Such a wonderful dunk immediately aroused the applause of the audience in the stadium, and even a male fan accidentally knocked over the drink his girlfriend was drinking because he was too excited, of course he could not avoid receiving a hard K.But this guy is a professional fan, even so he is still cheering for Yuan Man: "Oh, it hurts, boy, you are really, really good!"

It wasn't until Yuan Man scored a goal that Jackson's mind turned around. No, if Yuan Man didn't understand English, how could he reply to himself so fluently in English?

Jackson got angry and asked for the ball to play Yuan Man in singles.

After all, Jackson has played in the NBA for so many years, and Yuan Man, who is inexperienced in actual combat, is indeed a little dazzled by the continuous fake moves and extraordinary moves. He doesn't know what Jackson's next move will be.

Seeing that Shake had an opportunity, Jackson immediately jumped up and shot, and at the same time, he had already thought about the trash talk after scoring: Welcome to the NBA!

It's a pity that just after the ball was released, Yuan Man appeared in Jackson's vision. Although he failed to block Jackson's shot, Yuan Man's fingers touched the basketball flying towards the basket, which changed slightly. Direction, the ball hit the side edge of the basket and missed.

Jackson swallowed the trash talk that came to his lips abruptly.

But although Jackson didn't hit the ball, Kwame Brown, who had been silent for half a quarter, grabbed an offensive rebound through the card position, and directly made a dunk in the air, tying the score!

33-33, the two sides returned to the same starting line again.
