Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 29 How can I not love such a newcomer?
The Pacers fought back.

After the Cavaliers took a timeout, Suwan became the main force in defending Tinsley. Suwan, who is just one size bigger, can not only take advantage of his static talent, but also keep up with Tinsley's speed.

After the game resumed, Tinsley didn't score again.

LeBron defended Stephen Jackson, and the effect was also much better.

LeBron can usually do well in any situation that requires physical effort. Of course, this is because Stephen Jackson doesn't have much ability to attack with the ball. If he is a ball-handling scorer, then LeBron will "disappear" after two rounds of defense, and someone else will be on his side.

This is really not Su Wan judging people through the cracks in the door.

Before the game, Paul Celas specifically asked LeBron if he could defend Artest. Regardless of his size or strength, he was the most suitable person to defend Artest.

As a result, no one answered the question.

Silas can only use Newbell to deal with Artest.

Although there is a photo of Newbell "flying kick Dunleavy" that has gone viral, in fact, this is just an "own goal" caused by misaligned vision. He is not a fierce defensive player. At the third position, his matchup ability is relatively weak.

Artest hit him accurately every time, and his strong body was like a speeding train. Every time Newbell gritted his teeth to make contact with him, he was knocked away.

Artest made 6 of 4 shots and his score is almost reaching double digits so far in the first quarter.

His wing breakthroughs, coupled with O'Neal's various beautiful "little hooks" near the basket, allowed the Pacers to continue their scoring momentum after Suwan and LeBron switched defense.

This round is no exception.

Artest made the shot and showed off his biceps to the fans at the scene.

Su Wan glanced at LeBron and wanted to say:
He has bullied your "people" so much, why don't you switch defense with Newbell?
But he also knew that LeBron would definitely pretend not to hear it. People like him would never dare to stage an "ace vs. ace" drama with his opponents, such as the 09 Western Conference Finals when Carmelo Anthony faced off against Kobe for the entire series, defending each other and scoring against each other.

However, just now LeBron invited him to drink "tea", he would not miss the opportunity to disgust LeBron: "Keep giving me the ball, LeBron, it doesn't matter if you are not in good shape, I will help you win! Don't worry, I can beat the opponent by myself!"

LeBron felt like his heart was being stabbed by needles again.

He wanted to respond to Su Wan's words with practical actions, but looking at Artest who had already assumed a defensive stance in front of him, he silently passed the ball.

He wasn't the only one who was hurt.

And Stephen Jackson.

There was no sign of him in Su Wan's eyes at all, which irritated him.

He put in 100% of his concentration and carefully observed the changes in Su Wan's center of gravity.

Jackson knows that his speed is a disadvantage, so he must have more accurate predictions.

The future "Captain" has been on the big stage. He won a championship ring with the Spurs in 03. Unlike a pure slacker like Battelle, he is an important part of the Spurs' starting lineup.

The Spurs' elimination in the second round of the Western Conference in the 04 playoffs also proved that some of his defensive qualities and three-point shooting could not be replaced by Bruce Bowen.

With accurate judgment, he slapped the ball away from Su Wan's hand.

Without turning on "The Zone" mode, Suwan's offensive routine with the ball is indeed a bit monotonous and repetitive. And he has not reached the level of Tim Duncan. Even if others know that he will turn over and hit the rebound when he reaches the 45-degree angle, they just can't defend him.

Fortunately, the ball flew directly out of bounds and the Cavaliers still had the ball.

Stephen Jackson finally regained some face. He couldn't wait to say, "Damn rookie, you still want to single me out? When I won the championship, you didn't even know where the gate of the NBA headquarters was!"

Su Wan picked his ears with a look of disgust.

This was to hide the smile that was about to overflow from his mouth. - If every time the opponent's "trash talk" made Su Wan turn on "The Zone" mode, he couldn't help laughing out loud, I'm afraid that in a few days, the league would have to send someone to check whether he had mental problems. Maybe they would even have to test his urine to see if he had used any banned drugs.

But to be honest, Jackson is also a person who likes to talk trash, but his ability to talk trash is really not as good as his ability to do things.

"Stephen, there was someone before who also liked to brag about his experience of winning the championship in 03. Do you know what happened to him?" While waiting for the serve, Su Wan said to Stephen Jackson, "I let him sit on the bench until the end of the game!" Battelle: A-choo!

Huh~
Stephen Jackson laughed angrily and snorted: "Then let me see how you make me go back to the bench!"

"Big Z" served the ball from the sidelines. Seeing that Artest was following him, LeBron did not go up to catch the ball. Otherwise, he would be forced into a corner and it would be easy for him to drop the ball. Su Wan stepped forward decisively, took the ball in his hand, and then waved his hand: "Pull away!"

The two people in the inside moved. LeBron James hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Brandon Malone constantly making "pull apart" gestures on the sidelines, he slowly walked to the sideline on the other side.

He wanted to see how Suwan would play one-on-one against Stephen Jackson.

“The zone”, open!

With a silent remark, Su Wan's dribbling rhythm suddenly changed.

Stephen Jackson immediately felt something was wrong and took a step forward. As he moved, Su Wan, who was holding the ball in his left hand, passed the ball to his right hand from under his crotch and then exerted force suddenly to the front right.

Jackson's slow lateral movement was clearly exposed.

Now he can only hope that his teammates inside can block it in time.

but……

Before Su Wan accelerated his dribbling, he took a special look at the basket to make sure that O'Neal, who was standing under the basket, was about to reach the "defensive three seconds" before he took an offensive stance. From the time he accelerated his dribbling to the time he started to break through, it was exactly the limit time that O'Neal had to leave the "three-second zone". The whole way was smooth, and Su Wan rushed to the basket and made a "slam dunk".

I'm coming!
That's it!
That's it!
Brandon Malone couldn't hold it back any longer: "Paul, see, uncle is about to start again!"

In the previous month's closed training camp, Suwan's performance was above the passing line, but it was still far from the "Summer League ruler" that Malone saw in Las Vegas. He thought it was because the opponent's strength had become stronger, or the team's lineup was no longer based on him as the absolute core.

Now it seems that it was probably the kind of "out of shape" that rookies often have. He was in a slump some time ago. Entering the preseason, Malone saw the familiar Su Wan again. He felt a lot more at ease, but also a little worried.

Because the level of the regular season is higher!

Just now, Jackson disrupted Suwan's dribbling, and his heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, Su Wan immediately rebounded strongly in this round!
This is why Cleveland people love Suwan so much. He can always burst out with energy at a certain point in the game and dominate both ends of the game. They look forward to seeing this scene since he started holding the ball continuously.

Now, that moment seems to have arrived!
Even when facing the Pacers, who had the best regular season record in the league last season, he still exploded.

How can you not love such a newcomer!

LeBron tried hard to hold back his brows from frowning.

Just now, Stephen Jackson slapped Suwan's dribble away with a slap, and he almost shouted out loud:

Done!

He thought Jackson had seen through Su Wan's tricks, and Su Wan would be completely locked up next.

But when the game restarted, what he saw was Su Wan passing Jackson in one step and displaying his talent wantonly.

The Pacers were very tight when they locked me down, but when it was Suwan's turn to attack, they were like bus No. 58, watching anyone come in and out.

"LeBron, why don't you high-five me?"

Su Wan returned to defense amid cheers. Several other Cavaliers players high-fived him, but LeBron was the only one who stood there in a daze. How could Su Wan miss this opportunity?

"Well done!"

LeBron's face twitched several times, and he finally forced a smile. This expression was uglier than his classic crying face emoticon.
