Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 54 When the game is on

There will be 300 collections soon, for others, maybe this is nothing at all.But for me, very happy.

Kwame came to the free throw line again, and shot immediately after catching the ball. Big Z still had no plans to pounce. He preferred to believe that it was an accident just now, otherwise such a center would be too scary.

Just that perfect physical fitness with a little basketball IQ is a huge threat, plus the talent to gradually develop different offensive abilities.He didn't dare to think about it, so his championship dream might be far away.

It's a pity that what he didn't want to believe is already a fact. The unguarded Kwame hit a jumper again.

Kwame raised his right hand high, enjoying the cheers of the fans.The fans are completely in love with this wonderful thing, can't layup but has a powerful hook; can't make free throws but has an excellent mid-range shot.They feel that their dynasty road will start again!
The offensive and defensive transition, seeing James catch the ball, Kwame immediately posted it, and he was going to defend himself!In terms of height, wingspan, speed, strength, jumping, and all aspects, the two are quite close. The difference is that the two positions are different, but who can say that James can't play center?And who said that Kwame, who has a mid-range shot and can handle the ball, can't play small forward?
So Kwame stepped into the unfamiliar position of small forward and stood up to James.Poor Ariza can only carry the opponent's power forward Gooden.

Radmanovich doesn't mind defending anyone, because he can't defend against anyone. He is different from Ariza, who loves defense by nature. His purpose is to prevent the opponent from dunking directly.

"Today I finally understood why we couldn't win the Olympic gold medal. That's why! Argentina won this time only because of your breakthrough 6-step layup!" Kwame hasn't talked trash for a long time, there is no strong enough The opponent asked him to spray, and the Yao Ming he met last time was not at full health.But today he fired again!
Although James was angry when he heard this, he didn't say anything.His playing habits are not good, but he has a good temper. He is often fouled and cursed, but he has never heard of anyone in conflict with him.And judging from his style, he is also a person who hates failure. Even if some methods are shamed by others, he will still use them in order to win.From this point of view, Kwame admires him very much.

But Kwame's mouth didn't stop: "I really didn't know you have such a thick skin, and you still have the courage to live in this world!"

Kwame closely followed James' breakthrough. Perhaps his trash talk played a role. James, who usually hits [-]% of his shots in the first quarter, missed his second layup!Kwame sprang up immediately and got the ball in his hands at the moment when Gooden was about to get the rebound.Gooden wanted to steal, slapped Kwame on the hand, the referee whistled, and the thug fouled!
Rudy immediately replaced Ariza with Divac to increase the height of the inside line, and Kwame ran outside to play.

Midfield serve, Kidd controls the rhythm.Suddenly, he hit the ground and passed the ball, running back and throwing off Big Z who was slower than himself, Divac caught the ball and dunked!

Snow received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt and handed it to James.Passed to McGinn at a 45-degree angle, James came to pick and roll, blocked Finley, and Kwame immediately came to make up the defense.But McGinn went high!
Wow!James jumped high, received the ball and smashed it into the basket, scoring an alley-oop!
But Kwame did not show any weakness. Kidd immediately served the ball, counterattacked quickly, advanced rapidly, took the ball with both hands and took off, avoiding James' chasing cap, and pulled the bar for a dunk!
"Be careful, don't break the glass on the backboard! I really like to shoot backboards so much, go back to your small town to shoot! The things in Los Angeles are very expensive!" When the offense and defense transitioned, Kwame slapped James' ear he.

James caught the ball and broke through to the inside for a layup!but!Kwame, who has an unusual sense of smell for the ball, blocked the ball!
But James grabbed the ball and scored a dunk!Kwame wanted to block consecutive shots, but he slapped them on James' hands. The referee whistled, two plus one!Kwame clapped his hands, which was a pity, a little later.James made a free throw. 8 to 7, the Lakers lead by one point.

Kidd holds the ball from the outside, Kwame makes a pick-and-roll for Finley, Finley runs the baseline, receives a pass from Kidd and hits a three-pointer. 11 to 7!

James broke through, Kwame resisted, James passed the ball to Big Z at a 0-degree angle, Big Z missed a mid-range shot!Kwame picks up the rebound.Throw it to Kidd.

James quickly returned to the defense, Kidd failed to make a fast break, and handed the ball to Kwame in the top arc.

Kwame was immediately blocked by James. He turned around and hit James with his back from the three-point line. With a sudden force, the opponent was knocked away!

Kwame immediately turned around and cut in, making an emergency stop at the free throw line!Jump shot!James reacted quite quickly, and immediately caught up with him, interfering at the moment of Kwame's shot!

Kwame had no choice but to lean back the angle of the shot and miss!Smash the front basket!

Kwame knew at the moment of the shot that he would not hit. He rushed into the inside line immediately after the shot, jumped high at the moment the ball bounced, and pushed the ball back!
Make up points! 13 to 7!Amidst the cheers of the fans, he quickly returned to defense.In case of being fast-breaked.

Kidd organized the frontcourt, Radmanovich pulled to the outside, Gooden didn't follow, Kidd sent the ball to the skier in time, and a three-pointer was shot!Unfortunately not.

But the opponent's big Z seems to be very distressed about his own basket, and he also wants the opponent's basket to be hit. After receiving a wonderful pass from James after breaking through Kwame, he hits the iron with a long-range jumper!

The cold feeling may really be contagious. Finley, who just hit a three-pointer just now, is also solid in the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll with Kwame.

Gooden rebounds!Snow counterattacked quickly!but!This ball is even more ridiculous!After the layup, the ball slid around the hoop and rolled out again!

Kwame grabbed the rebound and slammed the frontcourt!Great strength! It hit the buffer layer of the basket with a "boom", scaring the reporters next to it to run away.

Both sides made various mistakes constantly, Cavaliers head coach Paul Adkins called a timeout!He was yelling at James: Give the ball to McGinn!James had to hand over the ball to McGinn.

Unlike James, McGinn is a pure point guard, but he is taller and has outstanding scoring ability. He is always used as a swingman.

Seeing that James started running without the ball, Kwame had no choice but to keep up with the running. Suddenly, James ran back, and Kwame immediately turned around to keep up. "Crack" Kwame hit a wall of meat, pick and roll!really!James received a pass from McGinn and made a layup! 13 to 9, the Cavaliers are 4 points behind!
If a new offensive method is used every time, it will soon be found by the opponent, and Kwame quickly understands this truth.Because James has already posted it, he already knows that as long as he interferes closely and prevents Kwame from completing his movements, Kwame's shooting accuracy will drop.

Kwame's mid-range shot was really wide and missed.

James grabs the rebound!Fight back!Long pass McGinn!McGinn made a quick layup! 13 to 11!

Back here, Kwame knew that a forced shot was unreliable, and took the initiative to block Snow for Kidd. Kidd passed by Kwame and handed the ball to Kwame in an instant.Then go to block James who is following.

Kwame froze for a moment, what kind of tactic is this?But now there is no defense!He took a step inside the three-point line, adjusted, and made a mid-range shot! 15 to 11!The difference is still 4 points!
James can't get rid of Kwame at all, the only way is to pick and roll, but Kidd saw the opponent's strategy in time, blocked in front of James, and fell gorgeously at the touch.

"BI" offensive foul!This is the home court of the Lakers, and the referee's whistle cannot always be biased towards the opponent, even if he is the boss' new son.

Paul called a timeout!The twin tower siege tactics that were originally prepared had no effect at all!The opponent's big man didn't get into the inside line at all, but turned into a shooting machine and shot from the outside line!

Paul replaced the big Z. He was too slow. He was replaced by Diop, who was shorter, but still had a height advantage against the Lakers. He was 213 tall, and he was not at a disadvantage against Divac.

Then replace Snow with DeJuan Varner to play small forward, and let James move to the point guard position. Against Kwame, who is equally good in physical fitness and better in weight and strength, James does not have the advantage.

The Lakers also made adjustments, "Kwame, you have to go inside! It's inside! We need you to kill inside! Not floating outside to shoot! Although your shooting is great! You and Diop are facing each other and attacking with all your strength. He has no offensive ability, you can play freely!" Rudy was a little unhappy that his big man had become a soft guy who could only shoot. For a center, shooting is only an auxiliary offensive method, and the center should attack inside!But Rudy still agrees with his shooting ability very much.I was encouraged.

"Odo you replace Vlad and guard the opponent's Varner. He is not as tall as you. Chris replaces Vladimir, oh. Seriously, your name has a long syllable. Chris, It is your task to entangle Gooden and prevent him from catching the ball. Finally, Jason, you just need to prevent the breakthrough of the opponent's No. [-] pick. If he wants to shoot, just shoot!" Rudy finished arranging the defensive tactics.Offensive tactics?Go find Kidd!

Paul, the young coach of the Cavaliers, may not know that James is the least suitable for playing against a short, fast, and annoying guy like Kidd.Every time he comes across this type of guy he doesn't play well.But his coach always put him on the point guard because of his excellent physical condition, he doesn't like to play point guard, he is an organization small forward!And McGinn, a pure point guard, is always put on the shooting guard.The two cores of the team dislike this coach, and his time in this team is probably not long.

Last season, James spent almost the entire season at the point guard position. He was disgraced when he met Kidd 4 times.This time is no exception, Kidd hit James back!Easily cut inside, attracted Diop's attention, and then threw the ball!Diop quickly turned around to shoot the ball!

but!A big number 5 appeared in the sky!Take the ball and smash it into the basket!Diop clapped Kwame's hand!
"boom"!Kwame alley-oop score!Kwame landed and howled loudly!The referee whistles! 2+1, the score became 18 to 11!The fans were screaming like crazy!
penalty!Kwame stretched his body as far as possible, and shot slowly!really!Hollow into the net!

Kwame, who entered the inside line, was even more comfortable, and he was completely released without defensive pressure.You can help defend others.
