Chapter 167
"Reed's shooting posture is a bit awkward, it doesn't look like he can practice shooting, he didn't want to, but his shot just went in, it's really weird!!
In particular, Reid is still a left-handed player. His shots are difficult to block, but the rhythm of his shots is very good. It feels like the defender is still. "On the commentary stage, McBrin praised the rising star Michael Reid.

The groom Albert next to him also nodded with a smile, and added: "Currently, Reed's average per game has almost reached 24 points. With his performance, he can be selected for this year's All-Star team. After all, Reid is not just A pure shooter who can catch and shoot, like Ray Allen, he also has outstanding physical fitness and the ability to play singles with the ball.

However, rookie TJ Ford's organization is well controlled. With the basketball in his hands, the offensive threat is even greater. His lightning-like speed can easily disrupt the opponent's defense.

Reid also has a higher percentage of catch-and-shoot shots, and can devote more energy to scoring. "

On the basketball court, James has a strong desire to attack. After all, facing TJ Ford, his dislocation advantage is too good.

Dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately broke through the middle with the ball. TJ Ford bit the bullet and rushed in front of James. .

TJ Ford is fast, and if it's just blocking the offensive line as a defensive standard, his defensive completion can be at the forefront.

In terms of footwork, he is top-notch.

It is said that TJ Ford had surgery on his left foot in the NCAA, and the Bucks are betting on the strength of TJ Ford's other foot.

If he hadn't been injured, with his name and honor, he should have been picked higher.

After all, with Iverson's successful example in front, it is worth betting on the talented TJ Ford.

Of course, James' rushing speed is unparalleled, and he can also play three-way, not necessarily dunking under the basket.

One step from the free throw line, James pulled the ball up, drew the bow and set the arrow, and made a small throw.

It's just that the previously tried-and-tested drop shot didn't make a hit. It actually circled around the basket and flew out again.

James had some surprises on his face, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, when everyone is unlucky, there is no problem with the chance to shoot. In other words, he played like this before and succeeded.

Next, when James attacked again, he glanced at the inside line, and Ilgauskas was circled forward without passing.

Again, he made a crab step, crushed TJ Ford to the inside line, stepped down and dribbled the ball from the right side to the left side, took a big step laterally, and made a jump shot with both hands.

TJ Ford is light and thin, and his maneuverability is very agile. He easily finished or turned back to chase, and threw himself in front of James.

James didn't shoot, but clicked, and shot the basketball from the left to the right. He got short and dribbled the ball from the right to break through.

Pull the ball in the paint, dodge in the air, avoid blocks from Joe Smith and Skinner,
With a hook with his right hand under the basket, the basketball spins and flies towards the basketball. The basketball rubs against the backboard and rushes towards the basket.It's just that I didn't want to, and basketball still didn't make it. It seemed a bit stubborn, and I didn't want to get in.

James also carried it, and he was strong when attacking, and he still broke through TJ Ford, reached the free throw line, and directly opened his hand for two points and made a jump shot.

There was a bang of iron strikes.

The basketball bounced out of the hoop, but still missed.

James faithfully played his point forward tactics. , singled out TJ Ford one after another, and the opportunity to score came out.

However, he doesn't have shooting skills. Except for the first dunk, he also makes quick stop jump shots after breaking through, carrying the opponent's horse and archery, making cold shots and so on. Generally with the lid on.

Because although TJ Ford's defensive strength is not good, he is a sharp weapon on the offensive end.

With his extreme speed and extraordinary breakthrough, he can easily disrupt the opponent's defensive deployment, coupled with his good passing skills, he can calmly pass the basketball to the most threatening place, and the Bucks' offense Well organized.

TJ Ford dribbled the ball to the front court, facing James' defense, stepped down the middle to dribble continuously, and walked to the inside. James kept a close eye on TJ Ford's footsteps, and fought and retreated.

TJ Ford suddenly accelerated to the three-point line from the right, and James moved laterally to block the opponent's offensive line.

TJ Ford suddenly paused for a dunk, changed direction and shot the basketball from the right to the left, feinted James with a shot, and immediately dribbled through from the left.

After seeing Reed get rid of the screen, he made an air cut to the inside, and immediately followed up to send the basketball to the right.

At the 65-degree two-point line on the right, Reid catches the ball face-up, directly lifts the ball over the top, draws the bow and nocks the arrow, and opens his hand for a two-point jump shot.

There was a clear sound, the knife was lifted and the basketball hit the bull's-eye steadily, scoring two points.

Relying on his own speed, TJ Ford broke through and scored the ball, trying his best to play his teammates' shooting attributes.

Contributed 7 assists in a single quarter. Although he was also defended by James and made 3-of-0 shots, he used the ingenuity of supporting the pass to allow the Bucks' offensive firepower to be fully utilized and played a multi-point blooming situation.

James and TJ Ford, one uses himself to score and the other uses assists. They are fighting in different styles, and each has its own advantages.

After the first game, the Bucks led the Cavaliers by 27 to 26 at home and entered the second quarter.

James finally scored, paying 8 shots and 2 hits, with an inefficient offensive efficiency.

However, the Cavaliers have an advantage inside. Ilgauskas and Boozer desperately grabbed rebounds, and the second offense can still send the basketball to the basket.

Endorsed the theory of rebounding and winning championships.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitute lineup to play.

Boozer and Elke Williams led Wagner, Brown and Diop on behalf of the Cavaliers.

For the Bucks, Reid and Mason lead the offense, and the other players include sixth man Tony Kukic, Damon Jones and Danga Zuric.

The second quarter started, and the Bucks' offensive firepower remained undiminished.

Among them, Reid's shooting is still stable. Although the offense is not violent, but from time to time, a cold shot comes in, continuing the offensive firepower of the Bucks.

The spring breeze turned into rain, which made the Cavaliers very uncomfortable.

Mason is the best at disrupting battles. He is full of impact. When he gets the basketball, he will attack the basket. He is full of lethality. His explosive and passionate style of play makes him look more like a star.

This savage style of play, punch-to-flesh impact, and powerful attack made it possible for the Cavaliers to lose their defense.

Fortunately, Boozer is in a good state, frequently scoring points in the paint, and can also grab rebounds, stabilizing the morale of the army.

With Boozer on the inside, the Cavaliers played resolutely on the outside. Although the efficiency was not high, they could still score. They held the score tightly to prevent the gap between the two sides from widening further. .

At the end of halftime, the Bucks played more points, leading the Cavaliers by 57 points 53 to 4, and entered the locker room to rest.
