Chapter 130 Battle Supersonic

As a result, Lewis started the NBA's counterattack road.

In the 1998-1999 season, he averaged only 2.4 points per game, which seemed to prove the vision of other player managers.

In the 1999-2000 season, he was improving, raising his scoring average to 8.2 points per game. In the following seasons, he made progress every year, taking small steps. In this season, Lewis has averaged 18.3 points per game.

And this score has not stopped. In Lin Bai's previous life, he would score 20.2 points and 22.3 points...

It wasn't until Lewis signed the damn [-] million yuan contract as a second-round pick that he would fall in a straight line.

Just because he doesn't have to struggle anymore!
Therefore, Lewis was indeed ridiculed, but he is still on the way to struggle, and his strength is still very strong.

He is 208cm tall and weighs 101kg. His style of play is a bit light, and he likes to shoot from outside.

However, he is quick, has flexible feet, and can get good shots in the low post.

He is good at three-point shooting, can evacuate the inside and create opportunities for players to the basket. He is a good scorer.

He is a bit short in height, and he suffers a bit when playing the fourth position, but he is not fast enough to play the third position, which is an embarrassing position.It is the main reason why he was underestimated by the first-round pick despite being invited to the lottery black house.

Fortunately, he has practiced a very good shot, otherwise, he is really not worth the first round, and the chance of falling out is very high.

The Sonics succeeded in picking up leaks, and in this position, they can compete with the Cavaliers' Boozer. Both of them are players with excellent offense and average defense.Lewis has the advantage of long range and three-point shooting, while Boozer has the advantage of being tall and able to grab rebounds, which is evenly divided.

The supersonic player at the center position is Carvin Booth, a second-round pick in 1999, with a height of 211cm and a weight of 106kg. His blue-collar strength is used to make up the numbers.

It is completely incomparable with Ilgauskas of the Cavaliers. Although Ilgauskas is a second-rate All-Star center, the second-rate All-Star also has All-Star level strength. The key is who to face?

At the center, the Cavaliers can easily achieve crushing and take advantage.

The Sonics are a combination of outside stars, while the Cavaliers combine inside and outside, and the lineup is more balanced, which is the key to victory.

However, this is the home court of the Supersonics after all, and the shooting feel may be much better. Such a team that relies on shooting to decide the victory still needs to spend some effort...

At 2004:1 p.m. on January 13, 9, Seattle Key Arena.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Seattle SuperSonics officially started.

On the commentary stage, Barkley glanced at the Supersonics' starting roster, and analyzed with a smile: "The Supersonics' first lineup tonight is four tall pitchers, plus a blue-collar insider who grabs rebounds. Compete with the Cavaliers to shoot and use mobility to win. Shooting touch is the key to victory!
However, McMillan took it for granted, the Cavaliers lineup also has good shooting, good physical talent, the key is that the Cavaliers still have rebounds, only shooting, the Cavaliers are not worried! "

Kenny Smith nodded with a smile, glanced at the starting roster of the Cavaliers, and continued: "It is true that the Cavaliers have a more balanced lineup, and the team has a greater chance of winning. There are Cavaliers inside and outside. Sonic rhythm to play.

Next, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the Cavaliers, and we should be able to see clues of the Cavaliers' tactical play.Cavaliers starting roster players, lined up, in order, point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Kedrick Brown, small forward Elke Williams, power forward Carlos Boozer, center Zajunas-Ilgauskas.

This is a lineup with a balanced offense and defense. Obviously, it seems that the Cavaliers are not competing with the Sonics for shooting, but want to hit the success rate and use their own advantages to win the game steadily.Will the Sonics do what the Cavaliers want?Let's wait and see!The game is about to start! "

After a simple warm-up exercise for layups, the starting five tigers of both sides came to the middle circle of the court, ready to start scrambling for the ball.

Ilgauskas vs. Kalvin Booth!
A beep and a clear whistle sounded, and the referee who presided over the game threw the basketball in his hand high into the sky, and the game officially started.

Carvin Brown is only 211cm tall, and he was here to make up the numbers. He himself is quite interesting, and he didn't even look at the basketball in the air, and immediately turned around to defend.

Ilgauskas was unceremonious, jumped lightly, and easily won the first offensive ball for the Cavaliers, and accurately transferred the basketball to James' hands.

With long legs, James catches the ball and speeds up, ready to play a fast offense, but the Supersonics have a weak foothold.

Although James used a simple cross-step dribble to throw off Lewis's steal, the SuperSonics seemed to never have thought that the jump ball would win from the beginning, and retreated early to defend against James' fast break.

Let James quickly advance without success, but fell into the encirclement set by the Supersonics. Facing the three-person attack of Ray Allen, Brent Barry and Radmanovich, James calmly protected the ball and retreated without letting the Supersonics attack. Sonic steals successfully.

The Supersonics also hit a shot from date to date, and the encirclement and steals were unsuccessful, and they did not make more entanglements, and they successively settled down to defend in an orderly manner.

In the middle of the frontcourt, James guarded the ball to observe the running positions of his teammates, and carefully played playmaker tactics.

In the low position on the left, Ilgauskas leaned against Kalvin Booth and reached out for the ball.

Without any hesitation, James lobbed the ball directly to the inside.

After catching the ball, Ilgauskas squeezed twice with his back, dribbled the ball and pecked at the basket, Kalvin Buss retreated steadily, and even raised his elbow.

Ilgauskas has a lot of experience, and the rhythm is well controlled. He swayed his shoulders from side to side twice, stepped on his feet nimbly, and dribbled the ball in an instant. into the basket.

There was a sound of scraping the net, and the basketball was pocketed.

2 to 0! !
At the beginning, Ilgauskas showed a flexible footwork in the low position, easily bullied the opponent and scored two points, and took the lead!
Offensive and defensive transitions, it was the Sonics' turn to attack, Brent Barry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, James stepped forward to press, and did not give the calm organization a chance to support or shoot.

Barry sideways to protect the ball, experienced to decipher James's little idea of ​​stealing the ball.

On the left side, Lewis slammed east and west, cut to the basket, made a reverse, and retreated to the three-point line. Boozer pulled out and chased the defense tightly, not letting Lewis get rid of it easily.

On the right side, Radmanovich pulled to the side to cover for Ray Allen, and then interspersed with the inside line, constantly running.

Ray Allen ran along the bottom line of the three-point line, ran back after the screen, and got rid of Kedrick Brown's close defense.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the right, Ray Allen moved the ball to the frame, raised the ball with both hands, and moved a step laterally.

After pointing to Elke Williams who switched defenses, Ray Allen calmly bent his knees and took off lightly, his body blooming in the air, and his shooting movements were very beautiful and natural, free and easy.

The shooting posture of the whole person is like a gentleman...
