NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

Compared with the stability of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Western Conference playoffs are full of upsets. The San Antonio Spurs, ranked second in the Western Conference, lost to the Denver Nuggets in the first game. Karen Mok (Andre Miller) of the Nuggets scored 31 points and beat French trot Tony Parker. The Dallas Mavericks, ranked fourth in the Western Conference, lost to the Houston Rockets led by Yao and McGrady at home. The performance of this super combination in the first season was amazing. Fortunately, the Phoenix Suns, ranked first in the Western Conference, beat the Memphis Grizzlies at home without any danger. Although the team's scoring leader Stoudemire was also beaten by Pau Gasol, Nash and Marion's performance was still able to ensure that the Suns won the game. In another game between the Seattle Supersonics and the Sacramento Kings, relying on the performance of the twin stars, the Supersonics won the opponent without any suspense. After a day of rest, the Nets faced the Cleveland Cavaliers again at home. Roy was a little excited and hoped that the Cavaliers could come up with something new, otherwise the whole series would be too boring. Obviously, the Cavaliers were fundamentally different from the previous game after the opening. At least there was a huge change in the defensive attitude. Kidd, who had the ball, clearly felt the pressure from Eric Snow who was defending him. Eric Snow, who only played for a few minutes in the previous game, was directly promoted to the starting position in this game. The Cavaliers' intention was obviously to share James' offensive pressure so that he could focus more on offense. The only adjustment of the Nets was Tyson Chandler, who finally won the jump ball over Ilgauskas. Kidd tried to break through, and Eric Snow was The 76ers trained a sword-wielding guard for Iverson.

His defensive ability is outstanding. He was once selected into the All-Defensive Team, which is the greatest affirmation of his ability.

Although he is old now, Kidd is not known for his speed.

Dribbling and advancing, the two old hands collided with each other. No one got the advantage in the first round.

The most unexpected thing today is that James actually chose to defend Roy.

This is a result that Roy never dreamed of.

Before the game started, I was afraid that this series would be too boring. I didn't expect to be surprised at the beginning.

You know, 20 years later, James is famous for his eye defense.

At this time, he took the initiative to take responsibility, which Roy never expected.

Then why did he lose this temperament later?

Maybe he was immersed in the atmosphere of GAOT and couldn't extricate himself.

NBA is not the kind of defense you can do if you want to. It is a good thing to have such a desire, but whether it can be defended is another matter.

Roy received the pass from Kidd and stood at the top of the arc.

Everyone's eyes were focused on these two people.

As the hottest rookies in the past two years, no one else.

The direct confrontation between the two undoubtedly added a lot of highlights to this game.

Roy dribbled while staring at James, who was the same age as him.

He quickly came up and tried to use his flexibility to block Roy's breakthrough.

Roy dribbled calmly,

Since there was no chance of a frontal breakthrough,

then Roy decisively chose to back up.

Although James' upper limb strength is very strong, his lower limb strength is obviously average. Otherwise, in his peak period, it would be difficult to back up Kidd.

From the top of the arc, he pushed forward into the reasonable collision zone.

Drew Gooden, who was not far away, watched James retreating step by step.

He was secretly happy in his heart, but he could only pretend to be expressionless on his face. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

When he returned to Cleveland yesterday, Gooden was still liquidated by the Little Emperor.

He believed that the reason why Roy could play so perfectly was entirely due to Gooden himself.

Gooden looked aggrieved and couldn't say anything.

If it were that simple, the Nets would not be able to be the first in the league.

Have you ever thought that it's a pity that leaders always look at the results, not the process.

Finally, after scolding his teammates, James decided to defend Roy alone in the second game.

This idea came to him when the last game ended.

He felt excited that if he succeeded in defense and defeated Roy head-on, his first playoff trip in his career would be a black eight miracle. Just thinking about it made him feel satisfied.

James is a man who dares to think and act. He really put it into practice in this game.

But it seems that behind Roy, Gooden is no different from James.

The young emperor was confused. No, I have watched many videos of Ben Wallace defending Roy.

It is not like my defense at all. There must be something wrong.

James, who thinks he is invincible in talent, questioned his invincible body for the first time.Doubt.

Regardless of James's thoughts, Roy pushed James to the waist,

Then Roy turned right and jumped on one foot, "One-legged stand" has become Roy's name,

Roy's backward lean plus high leg lift, James can't interfere with him at all,

Even the proud son of heaven can only watch Roy shoot in despair,

"Shua"

Drew Gooden showed an expression on his face that I knew it would be like this,

The corners of his mouth rose slightly,

Until the moment James turned around and looked over, he immediately changed to a serious expression,

Although his acting skills It was quite exaggerated, but James obviously liked it.

Gooden walked over and patted LeBron on the shoulder and comforted him:

"It's not your fault, brother. You know that Roy is like a rogue every time. His back-up and high-legged kick make it impossible to defend. We should probably think of a way with the referee."

James felt a little embarrassed at first, but after listening to his teammates' comfort, he felt that it had nothing to do with him.

This should be Roy's fault. Inventing such a crazy move is simply a rogue's way of playing.

The depression in his heart suddenly decreased a lot.

Gooden is really a good brother. I blamed him wrongly in the last game.

I won't target him next time. James subconsciously included Gooden in his own team.

Then James pointed at Roy and said to Gooden:

"Your idea is right. I shouldn't compete with you for defending Roy. In this way, you will still defend from the next round. I absolutely trust you."

Ah? No? Gooden was confused.

You want to pass the buck, right? If you can't defend, just throw it to me. That's not what he said when he scolded me in Cleveland!

Gooden had to say MMP in his heart!

But thinking about the reality made him bow his head again.

Alas, who made him a worker, and he was the future of the team, a godson who was closer to the boss than his own son.

Gooden didn't say anything but nodded. He found that he was so tired.

It was the Cavaliers' turn to have the ball. Eric Snow dribbled across half court.

His three-point shot was almost nothing, so Kidd only had to defend his breakthrough and mid-range shot.

The distance between the two was very far. Veteran Snow had no temper. He had experienced the consequences of forced three-point shots when he was young.

Not only would he be happy to miss +1, but he would also be scolded by the team boss.

Iverson was so strict with him at the beginning.

Although he had practiced hard in private, he had no talent. He had made only three-pointers in his career for more than ten years. There are more than 100.

Based on the principle that not making mistakes is meritorious service, he chose to keep steady.

Besides, the veteran who is on the verge of retirement has no such thoughts.

He came to the Cavaliers because they gave too much. He can earn US dollars by assisting James. Why not?

Why sweat?

James still has a high opinion of the obedient Eric Snow.

One does not need the ball, and the other must hold the ball to control the team.

This may be a two-way run.
