Chapter 118 Zhan Ling Reconnects

Some TV media in the United States conducted fan voting on the game between the Cavaliers and the Pacers. The topic of the vote was, who can win the Cavaliers or the Pacers?
Seventy percent of the fans think that the Pacers will win, and the remaining [-]% think that the Cavaliers have the ability to defeat the top.

Even if the Cavaliers have won 9 consecutive victories, even if they have won two against the Pistons, they beat the Lakers.

Hope and reality are two different things, if the content of the vote is that you want that team to win, then the approval rating may change a lot.The voting is to predict the result of the game. According to the strength of the two teams, most fans still feel that the number one in the Eastern Conference is stronger.

Players from both sides were preparing for the game, and then formed a group. The coaches of the two teams were making arrangements and ordering the game.

CCTV Lao Xu: "Okay, the match between the two sides will start soon, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two sides first."

"The Pacers are Jamal Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Ron Artest, Al Harrington and Jermaine O'Neal."

Director Zhang interjected: "The starting lineup of the Pacers is simply rogue. I'm not talking about how terrifying their players are, but the multilateralism of their lineup. You see, except for Jamal Tinsley, the other four are all swing positions. Ah Ty and Reggie Miller swinging forward, Harrington swinging power forward and small forward, Jermaine O'Neal swinging center and power forward."

"Their lineup is too versatile, which will also lead to their offensive and defensive flexibility."

Old Xu said: "That's right, Harrington replaced Jeff Foster in the starting line-up today. In the past, Harrington was the top scorer off the bench."

"Look at the Cavaliers' starting lineup again, Limbo, Ira Newbell, LeBron James, Eric Williams and Big Z Ilgauskas. Director Zhang, for the Cavaliers' starting lineup, you What do you want to say?"

Director Zhang: "It can only be said that without Boozer, the current starting lineup with the strongest scoring ability."

Lao Xu nodded and said, "Okay, the game has started, we entered the game screen, and the Pacers' O'Neal jumped the ball to get the team's first offensive opportunity."

Director Zhang: "Come on, Tinsley brought the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Reggie Miller before Limbo got close. We can see from this little action that the Pacers are obviously studying the Cavaliers. Well, Tinsley also knows Limbo's defense and movement speed, once Limbo gets close, it will be difficult to pass the ball, and even lose the ball."

Old Xu said: "That's right, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. I think this is one of the reasons why the Pacers can secure the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference. They will not underestimate any opponent."

Miller, who had the ball, was experienced, assisted O'Neal and scored a layup, and the Pacers got off to a good start.

Xu Qicheng: "It's the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Let's see how the Cavaliers will play and whether they can score the first point."

"Limbo moves with the ball, Newbell picks and rolls."

Director Zhang suddenly yelled: "Oh, it's time to switch defenses. Artest is here to defend Lingbo."

This shows that in the eyes of the Pacers, Limbo, who was not drafted, deserves more attention than James, who was the No. [-] pick, and they did make the right decision.

Old Xu: "Director Zhang, based on your many years of experience on and off the field, analyze and analyze to the fans why Artest was used to defend Lingbo alone?"

Director Zhang murmured in his heart, try to find some problems for me, I have experience, I have experience, I will accompany you here, why let him guard against Lingbo, is it because Tinsley can't guard against, hey, I hope the slap in the face will not come so fast.

Director Zhang still smiled and said: "We know that Artest's one-on-one defense ability is very strong. After entering the NBA, his defense made Kobe and McGrady feel headaches. It is very correct to use one-on-one defense against Lingbo. decision, because once Limbo is restricted, the Cavaliers' ball movement and scoring will come to a standstill."

"Another point is that Artest's defensive ability is not good. If you let Tinsley defend Limbo, he can't defend. If you need to help defend, Artest can't. Reggie Miller is old again. The speed can't keep up, so I just let Artest defend, Miller and Tinsley help defend."

After listening to Director Zhang's analysis, Old Xu nodded again and again, admiringly, he said: "Director Zhang's analysis is well-founded, and it suddenly dawned on us, we deserve to be Director Zhang."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, but no matter what you say is right or not, no matter whether you will be slapped in the face or not, I still want to say to Artest, don't be arrogant, you can't defend Limbo alone."

On the court, while Director Zhang was speaking, Ling Bo had already stepped on Lingbo and turned around to pass Artest. Artest frowned. Before the game, the head coach Rick Carlisle repeatedly told him not to be careless. He was already very focused, but when he wanted to stop, Ling Bo had already stepped over, and Artest was in vain, leaving only phantoms.

Limbo passed the ball to Eric Williams, but it was a pity that the shot was shot and was rebounded by O'Neal.

Director Zhang secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, this wave did not hit the face immediately. Artest did not defend Ling Bo alone, but his teammates defended Ling Bo's teammates. The goal was not scored, which made Ling Bo wonderful Extraordinary means nothing.

Limbo directly led the defense in the half court, trying to cut off the pass from the Pacers. Although Reggie Miller was not running like the wind, he gained experience. Seeing that Limbo took the initiative to lead the defense, he also responded in advance.

Passing the ball to Artest, James is also very active in defense, and Artest is almost stuck together, stretching out his hands, his feet seem to be rooted on the ground, blocking the opponent's advance.

Artest is known as the existence of the beast. During the attack, his shoulder hit James one after another, and the two competed in strength.

Artest saw that James' defense was not backing down at all, so he had to turn around and wanted to shoot. Unexpectedly, when James turned around, he just shot off the basketball in his hand that was about to be raised.

After getting the basketball, without waiting for Artest to switch defenses, James directly threw the ball forward, because he knew that with Limbo's speed, the ball must belong to him.

It was indeed so, seeing this, Ling Bo started galloping up the frontcourt with Lingbo's small steps, and caught the basketball near the free throw line in the frontcourt.

Ling Bo dribbled the basketball. Seeing that Tinsley was still 3 meters behind him, he took off directly, took the ball with both hands, and dunked the windmill, detonating the audience.

Cavaliers fans are like this, never stingy with their cheers.

"Hey, this ball is beautiful." Director Zhang couldn't help exclaiming.

At the same time, Lao Xu also shouted: "Good shot."

"This is the cooperation between Lingbo and James, known by the fans as the Zhan Ling connection. When Lingbo passes the ball, he knows James' take-off height. When James passes the ball, he knows Lingbo's speed. This is how you know my speed. I know your height."

Director Zhang: "Limbo dunked the ball beautifully, James broke it beautifully, and passed the ball in place. You must know that Lingbo is only 1 meters tall, and his take-off height on the spot is not inferior to Vince Carter."

Old Xu: "This is the NBA's future dunker. It's rare for a point guard to become a dunker."

There was a ten-second cheer in the Quicken Loans Center arena, and it ended when the Pacers served. Some fans looked at the timer. The Cavaliers 2-2. The game has just started, and it has reached a climax. What will happen next? ?
