Chapter 48

After the Cavaliers lost to the Atlanta Hawks, they flew back to Cleveland non-stop for a simple rest. On the night of November 11, they will challenge the New Orleans Hornets away.

Consecutive away games and three consecutive losses. While the head coach Paul Silas was impatient, he also knew that only by relaxing the players can they regain their excellent state, so he waved his hand and gave the players a day off.

Time is running out, and it is another training day. After completing the team's training plan, Lin Bai also began to work hard to improve himself. He opened the coach's book and checked the personal information of the players. He found that he had hardly improved recently.

Other permissions are not enough...

After scanning the information, he knew that his weight had increased, and his stamina and strength had improved a lot. However, Lin Bai knew that this improvement was not obvious, and had not yet reached a qualitative change.

Mind, skill, body...

It is still necessary to accumulate over time, and the right way is to accumulate bit by bit. After reading the personal information, Lin Bai began to practice three-point shooting. In these few games, his performance was too unstable. As a shooter, only Only by working hard to polish your unique skills can you gain a firm foothold on the basketball court.

The shooting training method is still the old way. There is no shortcut to training shooting. The best way is to keep shooting hard and practice a lot.

Lin Bai started to shoot from the bottom of the basket, along the three-point line, passing the point of the left bottom corner—the point of 30 degrees—45 degrees—60 degrees—75 degrees—the right bottom corner, and so on in a circle clockwise. 100 shooting drills for each shooting point.

……

On the day before leaving for New Orleans, assistant coach Stephen Silas held the Hornets player data sheets and distributed them to each player.

In this game against the Hornets, the head coach Paul Silas attached great importance to it. On the training day, during the confrontation training game, the training requirements for the players were very strict, and even the players who performed poorly were scolded directly. , Therefore, the players are carefully training hard and carefully reviewing the opponent's information.

In the 02-03 season, the Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans, and the home team stadium was replaced by the New Orleans Arena.

The Hornets have entered the playoffs for four consecutive years since the 1999-2000 season, but they have not made a breakthrough. The current head coach of the Cavaliers, Paul Silas, led the Hornets to achieve results.

The new head coach of the Hornets, Tim Floyd, did a good job. He led the Hornets to a record of 10 wins and 5 losses, ranking fifth in the East. As long as they beat the Cavaliers at home in the next round, they can step on the previous Hornets Head coach Paul Silas, who entered the regular season in the Eastern Conference ranked fourth, gained home court advantage.

Tim Floyd has the "Trident" of Baron Davis, David Wesley, and Jamal Magloire under him, and his strength is good.

The new official strength list of NBA teams has been announced. The Cavaliers have 8 wins and 5 losses, and the ranking has fallen out of the top ten, ranking No. 13.

The media is generally not optimistic about the Cavaliers led by James. They believe that the Cavaliers’ style of play has been seen through. The future trend will be high and low. A four-game losing streak.

Lin Bai carefully checked the regular starting lineup of the Hornets, thinking about how to defeat the opponent, and found that the opponent's starting lineup was excellent in offense and defense, and it was really difficult to deal with.

Baron Davis is the leading star of the Hornets, nicknamed 'bearded'. He is the first generation of bearded, and the future Harden is just picking up his teeth.

In 1999, the Hornets won the No. [-] show. Sometimes it was such a coincidence. Ten years later, Harden also entered the NBA as a No. [-] show.

He is 191CM tall and weighs 95KG. He is a super point guard with both offensive ability and rhythm control to connect teammates.

In his rookie season, although he averaged only 5.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, his 209 assists broke the record for rookies.

In the 02-03 season, he made rapid progress, averaging 17.1 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and was selected as the All-Star player of the year.

This season, the state is even more explosive, averaging 23.2 points and 8.2 assists per game.

His style of play is strong, and he can be called a gangster. In 2006, he performed a magical black eight miracle in the Warriors.His personal offense is extremely strong, his physical fitness is excellent, especially his ability to combine strength and bounce, and his ability to break through with the ball is very explosive, reminiscent of the future "Turtle" Westbrook.

In addition, with an unparalleled butt, a perfect combination of technology and physical fitness, Barkley can be called the back line.

He can shoot from the outside, can shoot from the outside, has a convulsive three-pointer, is strong offensively, and is also very good defensively. He has a strong body, is not afraid of confrontation, and has flexible feet. With his weight, he can keep up with the footsteps of most players. In addition, he is very offensive and has a good skill at stealing the ball.

The second position is more interesting. David Wesley, who is 183cm tall and weighs 88KG, is a representative of undrafted players. He is nicknamed 'Mickey Mouse' and can play shooting guard with a natural height mismatch. His strength is not bad.

Strong offensive ability, tough style of play, known for defense and outside shooting, in the 02-03 season, he averaged 16.7 points and 3.4 assists per game.

This season, the current average of 15.3 points and 3.1 assists per game is still very reliable offensively.

The Hornets are luxurious outside. Fortunately, Jamal Mashburn is absent due to injury. If the star scorer who averaged 02 points, 03 assists and 21.6 rebounds per game in the 5.7-6.3 season is on the team, with the current The Cavaliers have almost no chance of winning.

Inside, the Hornets are relatively weak. Although David West was picked with the 2003th overall pick in the first round in the 18 draft, he has not yet had the rhythm of the NBA and his performance is not stable.

The small forward is played by the unknown George Lynch. His defense is excellent, and his offense is really average. He is a typical defensive blue-collar ball.

The power forward is played by the veteran PJ-Brown. He is 211CM tall and weighs 102KG. He has shots to empty the inside and increase the height of the frontcourt.

In the 02-03 season, he averaged 10.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. This season's data has not changed much. Although the data is not obvious, the effect is extremely important.

Jamal Magloire participated in the NBA Draft in 2000 and was picked by the Hornets with the 19th overall pick in the first round. He is 211CM tall and weighs 118KG, and he mainly plays the center position.

His physical fitness is excellent, his basic offense is solid, and he is good at rebounding.

Regardless of his 02-03 season, he averaged only 10.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, but this season is his peak period, his shooting ability suddenly improved, and he averaged 15.3 points and 14.2 rebounds per game. stunning.

In Lin Bai's previous life, Jamal Magloire was selected as an All-Star in 2004 by virtue of his peak performance this season, and his strength should not be underestimated.

November 2003, 11 at 26 pm, New Orleans Arena.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. New Orleans Hornets officially started.

Barkley glanced at the Cavaliers roster, curled his lips, and said with a smile: "The media was not optimistic about the Cavaliers before the game, but I think with James, the Cavaliers can create surprises! Just seeing the head coach of the Cavaliers With such a starting lineup, it is too difficult for the Cavaliers to win!!

The point guard is still LeBron James, the shooting guard is Ricky Davis, who did not play due to personal reasons, replaced by Jason Kapono, small forward Darius Miles, power forward Carlos - Boozer has yet to return, replaced by the offensively weak Desagina Diop, and the final center is Zajunas Ilgauskas.Just looking at the lineup, as long as the Hornets speed up a little, the Cavaliers have already lost 5%. "

Smith nodded and said in agreement: "Indeed, the Cavaliers' long-man lineup is really difficult to play against the Hornets' small spirit. The Hornets' starting five-man list is point guard Baron Davis. , shooting guard David Wesley, small forward George Lynch, power forward PJ Brown, and center Jamal Magloire. Except for small forward Jamal Mashburn who was absent due to injury, George Lynch Except for the odd replacement, the other players are regular starters.

The lineups of the two teams are not complete, but the Cavaliers have more main players who are absent. In these few games, the Cavaliers have suffered from speeding up and lost three games in a row. Obviously, the lineup was targeted. The head coach has not adjusted, do they really not want to win? "

After introducing the starting lineup and a simple warm-up, players from both sides stood in the center circle of the court, and the scrum was ready to begin.

Beep whistle!

The basketball was thrown high from the hands of the referee, and both sides jumped the ball.

Ilgauskas vs Jamal Magloire!
Jamal Magloire is 211cm tall and has outstanding jumping ability. He can be regarded as flying. However, facing the 221cm Ilgauskas, he was still defeated.

Ilgauskas jumped lightly, as if eating and drinking, easily defeated Magloire and passed the ball to Kapono on one side.

James quickly counterattacked, and Kapono immediately made a long pass to find James.

Baron Davis' body is extremely strong and his speed is not slow. However, facing James who was charging up, he still couldn't stop him and was thrown away directly.

With a speed of 10 seconds per 4 meters and inhuman physical fitness, James is like a cheetah at full throttle in a quick counterattack.

After catching the ball, he took advantage of the situation and drove straight into the penalty area.

Taking off in two steps, one hand is a powerful chop.

2 to 0! !
James gave the Hornets a slap in the face as soon as the game opened, and he was the first to win.
