legendary basketball guard

Chapter 67 Defeated!
Facing the menacing Cavaliers who have won 14 consecutive victories at home, the Bobcats players are still very nervous, but Lin Xiao found some problems through the contact between players. For example, Tyrus Thomas seems to be playing for money, Derek Brown is playing for money. To support the family.And the team's trade of Ronald Murray is to send a signal to the players that Lin Xiao is a rookie that the team will not give up for the time being.

As for Lin Xiao, he also thought about it himself. As a playmate for two lifetimes, basketball, childhood memories, and being struck by lightning for no reason, finally entered the NBA through hard work.

I found that what I did before was far from enough. Maybe I was a genius before, so it can even be said that all of them in the NBA are geniuses.

The game started soon, and Mo Williams saw the displeasure on Lin Xiao's face. Last time, this kid scored 41 points on his head, and it was on his head, an all-star guard. .Gerald Wallace and James came back after exchanging a few words, Lin Xiao also walked over, greeted LeBron James, and said directly to Xiao Mo: "I'm still going to let you Got 41? All-Star!"

Lin Xiao didn't say anything after spraying, but Xiao Mo was not a good person, and he didn't know what kind of religion he believed in because of the tattoos all over his body, but in general he was actually a good person, but he didn't provoke Lin Xiao much. What to say, strength is everything.

The game started quickly, and Tyson Chandler played this time, and the jump ball beat the old O'Neal again.

Raymond Felton dribbles forward, Stephen Jackson has a misplacement, and the pass quickly reaches Stephen Jackson's hands.But facing Hickson Stephen Jackson chose to be on the safe side and didn't rush in. Although the old shark's ability to protect the frame is not very good, he handed it over to Raymond Felton to organize the offense. Can't get out.

The score between the two sides was very tense, and under the leadership of James, Mo's offensive power was fully displayed, constantly tearing apart the Bobcats' not-too-tough outside defense, always taking advantage of the slight time difference to pass through the cracks.After 5 minutes of playing, head coach Larry Brown replaced Lin Xiao, and Raymond Felton, who was in the first position, was replaced by Raymond Felton to face Mo Williams.

"Meet you again, All-Star!" Lin Xiao greeted with a smile, but his body didn't have the slightest defense. Xiao Mo's breakthrough ability with the ball is still very terrifying, but Xiao Mo didn't get angry with Lin Xiao. It was handed over to James, James took the ball at the top of the arc, Xiao Mo pulled Lin Xiao to the flank, and hoisted it to O'Neal on the inside, O'Neal only succeeded in Muhammad who had just played.

Although the explosive power of the old shark is not as good as before, the tonnage is still there, and Muhammad is still struggling to carry it.However, facing the generals of the Cavaliers, Lin Xiao still planned to play a pick-and-roll. Dior pulled to a high position, and after the pick-and-roll, he ambush to the bottom line. Gerald Wallace's 45-degree pick-and-roll timing was just right. Accurately in the hands of Stephen Jackson, Anthony Parker hurriedly followed, Stephen Jackson shot a three-pointer, Anthony Parker took off and blocked the block. This season, he can only be used as a fixed-point turret, and his 43.8% three-point shooting rate is still very impressive. Under the direction of the head coach, Lin Xiao directed the team to keep playing for Stephen Jackson. Xiao Mo on the court was extremely calm, and he seemed not to be disturbed by the last game at all.

But Lin Xiao knew that this was the harbinger of the coming whirlwind for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers were very calm throughout the game, as if they were sure of the game. After Lin Xiao was called an offensive foul by Xiao Mo, Lin Xiao was replaced. , Fouled twice in a single quarter, after Raymond Felton played again, in the last 2 minutes, Xiao Mo scored four consecutive points again.One is a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll, and the other is a throw during a breakthrough.They were all solid. Stephen Jackson scored 6 points in the first quarter, while Mo scored 8 points.

The score between the two sides was tight, and the rotation lineup played. The insider Theo Ratliff, a veteran who came to retire, came on the stage. On the bench, the third position is power forward Tyrus Thomas, the head coach is going to let him defend James in the rotation lineup.

The two sides are targeting each other tactically, and at the same time, they can always find a breakthrough. They can neither kill each other with one punch, nor can they hit each other. It can be said that you come and I go pretty well.

James wants to go inside to create three-point opportunities for his teammates, but Tyrus Thomas is very active in defense, which makes James very uncomfortable, and there is also an excellent wing defender like Derek Brown, and there is an old man inside He is the king of blocked shots, but the victory lies in his rich experience.The game was on a rotating lineup. James chose to go it alone after all other offensive methods were ineffective. A train breakthrough caused a foul by Tyrus Thomas, and finally broke the scoring shortage. He made two free throws and the score was tied again.

Raymond Felton of the Bobcats swayed the defense with a fake move, went inside, and sent the ball out. Derek Brown caught the ball from the outside and shot it. Although Derek Brown's three-point ability is not good, such an opportunity must You have to make a decisive move, otherwise you will waste an offensive opportunity in vain.Fortunately, the ball actually scored.

"The Cavaliers finally called a timeout. I thought they could hold their breath. The boys are doing a good job. Listen, Lin Shaw, Stephen Jackson, Gerald Wallace, Diaw and Chandler come on, LeBron James should rest for 3 minutes, and I hope you can open the score as soon as possible in these 3 minutes." Larry Brown, an old fox, prepared well before the game, but he didn't count that James would play after the timeout.

Larry Brown raised his hand up, the meaning is very clear, that is to play fast.

After Lin Xiao received the serve, he quickly ran towards the frontcourt. Facing Xiao Mo's defense, he carefully protected the ball, but be careful of Mo Williams' dribbling, Lin Xiao's dribble was a bit high.

After giving it to Stephen Jackson at the top of the arc, he ran to the corner to ask for the ball. Stephen Jackson chose to ignore Lin Xiao, and faced Morrow's defense and forced a layup, but he failed to score.Lin Xiao didn't say anything, just retreated back to defense, but frowned.

"Boy, why didn't your teammate give you the ball?" Mo Williams said holding the ball. After a trial, he handed the ball to James. James passed it to Mo Williams who was running down. Stopped, I only heard Xiao Mo's whoop, the ball was dropped, and the referee's whistle sounded.

"I didn't foul." Lin Xiao said to the referee, but unfortunately the referee didn't pay attention.

"It's okay, get back from the attack." Gerald Wallace comforted.

"Rookie, what's going on, be careful not to foul." Stephen Jackson looked unhappy, Lin Xiao didn't foul at all, but the referee whistled, what could Lin Xiao say.

Mo Williams made two free throws. Lin Xiao controlled the ball for half court and handed the ball to Gerald Wallace.Gerald Wallace's ball was accurately passed to Lin Xiao's hands. Lin Xiao observed for a while, but no one came to pinch. Lin Xiao leaned his arms back, squeezed twice, turned over and made a jump shot, and easily scored.

In the remaining minutes of the second quarter, Lin Xiao's post-up singles became smoother and smoother. In the second quarter, Xiao Mo scored 6 points in a back-up play, but the team still lost to the Cavaliers by 3 points. Team.The reason for this is that James has a better jumping ability against Gerald Wallace, his body is extremely strong, and his defensive skills and awareness are also very good. Gerald Wallace does not have much advantage in facing James. , The defense is very difficult.And Stephen Jackson continued the icy touch of the previous game.

"How about Gerrard, take a good rest. The situation of the game is not clear now. I hope I can persist in the third quarter of the second half and bring the game into our rhythm, so that the second half will be better controlled." field break.Larry Brown and Gerald Wallace, who are changing clothes, say.

Gerald Wallace understood what the head coach meant. In the first half, the Bobcats' offense was relatively good, and it could even be said that they played at a super level, but their defense also had many problems, one of which was the speed of the inside defense. It's a bit slow. For example, if Tyson Chandler and Tra Love are on the court, the head coach will arrange for them to close up and play, so the help defense is not timely, which makes the perimeter defense more important. The Cavaliers' perimeter is also very important. Well, that puts the Bobcats' perimeter defense to the test.

In this game, Lin Xiao's chances to play have changed more, most of them are in the top position, and once again he wants the ball from the low post and prepares to play Xiao Mo with his back.

"Hey, you don't know how to shoot basketballs, you jerk." Xiao Mo finally couldn't stand Lin Xiao's endless post-up singles, and sprayed.

"Soft? Are you talking about you?" Lin Xiao suddenly increased his strength, and Xiao Mo was knocked to the ground at once. He hasn't reacted yet. According to the rhythm of the first half, Xiao Mo can still hold Lin Xiao. Usually, he ends the offense with a backward jumper. Although Lin Xiao's offensive efficiency is not high, it is not low. It is also good for the Cavaliers. It seems to be painless.

The referee was the first to react: "Doo! Foul!" Lin Xiao fouled, what?foul?
Lin Xiao protested to the referee: "I didn't foul, I didn't touch him!"

"You hit an elbow, I can see clearly, there is nothing wrong, you committed an offensive foul." The referee also ended the sentence, and emphasized the offensive foul!
"No, I didn't foul." Lin Xiao kept talking to the referee.

"Listen, you're giving you a technical foul like this." Gerald Wallace told Lin Xiao to turn his shoulders and said.Xiao Mo felt Lin Xiao's tremendous power just now, which he didn't feel in the matchup last time. It seemed that Lin Xiao didn't use his real power in the first half.

"Do you think you can beat me by diving? You think too easily, Mr. All-Star." Lin Xiao complained slightly, feeling that the referee was targeting him.

Xiao Mo didn't say anything. Everyone will be taken care of by referees more or less when they enter the league. They just want you to understand that referees are not easy to mess with.

In the second half of the third quarter, when the score was still anxious, Lin Xiao and Raymond Felton swapped, Derek Brown replaced Gerald Wallace, and Tyrus Thomas replaced Diaw. .James is also gone.Without the core of the Cavaliers, it seems that Xiao Mo has designed tactics as the core. The rhythm of the two sides is relatively slow, and everything is based on positional warfare.

The top scorer of the Bobcats unscrupulously went to the inside to kill, but the impact effect was not satisfactory. He hit three times, scored a goal, and was called an offensive foul by the opponent. When Lin Xiao was on the court, he made a good three-pointer The ball can attract a lot of players' attention, but Raymond Felton's three-pointer is not reliable.

On the contrary, the Cavaliers' offense was sorted out very sharply by Xiao Mo. Although he was not good at organizing, he was able to use the pick-and-roll to tear through the Bobcats' defense. accurate.Despite his injury, Larry Brown substituted him and Muhammad stepped in.

Bobcats players are getting more and more unaccustomed to playing, and the Cavaliers are more determined to shoot. A small climax of 8:0 once again stopped the Bobcats. 5 points.Gerald Wallace played again, broke through and caused Varejao's foul, made two free throws and temporarily stopped the bleeding, and the difference was four points.At the end of the third quarter, the two sides entered the second half with a score of 76:74.

"Guys, you did a great job, but we still need to work harder. Our last quarter showed them the Bobcats defense. Gerald has a good touch. Keep it up. We can't be the same. Rely on your touch, Stephen, pay attention to attracting the opponent's defensive attention, and you must help your teammates get good opportunities, Lin Xiao, you only need to score the ball from the low post, and shoot the three-pointer from the open outside, is there any problem?"

"Go, bobcats!"

After playing in the fourth quarter, Lin Xiao, Stephen Jackson, Gerald Wallace, Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler's defenses are all changing. Under the guidance of Larry Brown's special system, everyone You can find your own position, the positioning is extremely tricky, Xiao Mo still wants to get into the inside line, but is slapped by a big hat from Tyson Chandler, Lin Xiao picks up the ball as if flying forward, Lin Xiao only sees At the basket, but after halftime, Lin Xiao subconsciously looked back, because there is one person whose return speed is extremely terrifying, that is LeBron James, Lin Xiao has no intention of being caught unprepared. Lin Xiao, who was close to the three-point line, slowed down slightly and gave the ball to Stephen Jackson, who was following up. Stephen Jackson dunked with both hands.

The Bobcats showed their momentum, and the sudden strengthening of defense made the Cavaliers struggle, but their style of play was still extremely tenacious. James used his true strength in the last quarter, and he was not good at post-up singles before. They were all used up, and broke through the inside to score the ball consecutively, and Lin Xiao hit back with a three-pointer, and at the same time went inside and caused O'Neal's foul, and then O'Neal could announce the end of the game, and the Cavaliers' inside defense dropped again. .

The Cavaliers played small-ball tactics under the leadership of James, which caught the Bobcats a little off guard. When they were chased by 6 points in a row to tie the Bobcats, Larry Brown requested a timeout, and Tyrus Thomas was raised. Arrived at number 5.

With the last minute left, Lin Xiao suddenly made a dribble error under the pressure of James. Fortunately, he saved the ball in time and hugged it to his chest, and then passed it to Stephen Jackson, but Morrow got it first. Lin Xiao was stunned by the sudden pressure from the audience. Faced with Mo Williams' fake move, Lin Xiao made another foul, which led to the Cavaliers overtaking by 1 points. The score was followed by a foul on the Cavaliers.Gerald Wallace dribbled the ball quickly and Lin Xiao missed a three-pointer. Wallace grabbed an offensive rebound. Xiao shot again, but missed.James grabbed the ball, fouled, James made two free throws, and the Bobcats forfeited the game.

"The Bobcats fought hard against the Cavaliers, what is the reason for their home strength?" An article published by ESPN expert Henderson.

"Two fouls in the last quarter will completely ruin the hope of winning!" USA Today's article.

"He is not worthy of the 13th pick. The last time he scored 41 points was just a fluke. He was 5 in [-] in the last quarter. This is his strength. Mr. Jordan's vision is not good." Cleveland Cavaliers.

"Damn it." Seeing these reports, I was a little angry.And after the game, the team's head coach Larry Brown also stayed in the locker room to talk.Criticize him for too many fouls and miss the last two three-pointers.Lin Xiao felt a little frustrated.

"Really, if it doesn't work, don't shoot three-pointers." Stephen Jackson complained directly without saving face.Lin Xiao originally wanted to fight back but stopped suddenly. Stephen Jackson was right, he was mostly to blame for the loss in this match.

"It's okay, boy, this is just a game. You are still young and have a chance to beat him." Gerald Wallace encouraged him. He always took such lore shots in the Bobcats before. Everyone has a big heart and the ability to take on key shots. Obviously Wallace is not such a player. He knows the pressure and understands Lin Xiao very well.

After the game, Lin Xiao stayed in the arena for extra practice. He made 500 three-pointers where he missed twice. Lin Xiao left the arena only after the team trainer protested. Charlotte in the early morning is still quite beautiful. Lin Xiao trotted all the way back to the newly rented apartment, Wang Yaning had already rested, and Lin Xiao tiptoed into bed after taking a shower.He fell asleep deeply, but this storm of doubting Lin Xiao's strength was far from over!
