The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 208 The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Appear, Against the Defending Champion ([-] Chapters, [-] Updates)

As Yuan Man pressed the red button of the "Legendary Turntable", the balls on the turntable immediately fell onto the turntable and rolled continuously as the turntable turned. Become a dazzling point, and explode in an instant.

After the light dissipated, Yuan Man saw the groove where the ball fell, right in front of "Big Bird" Larry Bird.

"I didn't expect that we would meet in this way." Yuan Man still remembers the trash talk battle with Larry Bird last season. Yuan Man, who mirrored Larry Bird, gained a strong trash talk ability. bonus, and then destroyed the body and mind of the Pacers players, but this time the props did not appear in the form of a map.

I saw the image of Larry Bird's villain glowing, and the villain in the original image seemed to be alive, jumping up from the roulette.

"Damn it, it's you kid. If it weren't for the fact that you are the host of the system, you would have bullied me in my old age. I won't help you in my prime now!" Larry Burr, who looked much younger than now, De, there is no wrinkle on his fair face, "I see that your wisdom root is not bad, so I will give you some pointers! Young man, here I come!"

As Bird's voice fell, there was only a "whoosh", and Bird's villain turned into a ray of light and flew into Yuan Man's body.

It was different from the feeling when Chamberlain was possessed last time. Yuan Man could feel that his body was dominated by two souls last time. Chamberlain was Chamberlain, and he was himself. Watching quietly as a bystander, and this time, Yuan Man could feel that a new soul seemed to pour into his soul, which belonged to Larry Bird. Yuan Man can empathize with every word he said.

In other words, Yuan Man is Larry Bird at this time, and Larry Bird is also Yuan Man!

Before the start of this high-profile Chinese Derby, netizens were having heated discussions on the Internet and various media platforms.

Although Yuan Man plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Dallas Mavericks also have Chinese player Yi Jianlian. In addition, the Mavericks defeated the Heat's Big Three in the finals last season with a single core, which also won Nowitzki a lot of fans in China.Therefore, the support rate of domestic fans for both sides in this game should be evenly matched.

"The Mavericks are the defending champions, and the Cavaliers were only eighth in the Eastern Conference last season. The gap between the two is too big. I am optimistic that the Mavericks will beat the Cavaliers by 10 points."

"Don't be ridiculous, if it wasn't because the Cavaliers suffered extensive injuries at the beginning of last season and LeBron took away many players when he left the team, the Cavaliers were definitely the top three in the Eastern Conference last season, maybe the Heat would have won at all. Not in the Eastern Conference Finals."

"The Cavaliers have hope this season. Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson are both very good rookies. Coupled with Yuan Man and Hassan Whiteside who performed well last season, the performance of the Cavaliers this year is definitely better than last year. .”

"But these rookies are still young after all, without much experience, look at the Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki, Marion, Terry, Carter, Kidd, which one is not experienced in battles, I think this The Mavericks will probably teach the young Cavaliers how to play basketball."

The fans were divided into two distinct factions, fighting for the victory of the Cavaliers and Mavericks.

Before the game, Scott's expression was still a little grim. This season, the team's owner Daniel Gilbert put forward a clear season ranking request for Scott. After getting Irving and Klay, Gilbert asked The Cavaliers this season must at least reach the second round. Although the Cavaliers reached the first round of the playoffs last year, it is not so easy to break through this level. He will always bear the nickname of "round tour" in his playing years.

One thing that worries Scott is that although the performance of the Cavaliers on paper, especially the joining of two excellent new aids, has greatly improved the strength of the Cavaliers, each team has also begun to pay attention to this season. the Cavaliers.The Cavaliers were able to achieve a good record last season. One reason is that when the teams played against the Cavaliers, they more or less underestimated the Cavaliers without James, allowing the Cavaliers to gain a little advantage in the game. , and at the end of last season, when facing all the teams that are going all out to hit the playoffs, even if the Cavaliers can win, it is not as easy as it was at the beginning of the season.

It can be said that this season is the best time to test the true quality of the Cavaliers.

A good start is half the battle. In order to accomplish the goal given by Gilbert, the Cavaliers must strive to rank among the top four in the Eastern Conference this season and gain the home court advantage in the first round. In this case, they will advance to second place. The possibility of turning will increase.

Taking out the tactical whiteboard, Scott held the whiteboard and stood in the center of the players, drawing today's main tactics on the whiteboard with a black pen.

"Fight the whirlwind!" After drawing a few sets of tactics, Scott raised his head and looked at the young players around him and said, "I want you to start a storm of fast breaks on the court, which is better than when we were training. Work harder and faster, can you do it?"

"can!"

Confidence is written on the faces of every player of the Cavaliers. Although these players look childish, the confidence and youthful temperament full of fighting spirit make people look at these young guys differently.

Before the start of the game, both teams announced their starting rosters.

Cavaliers: Center: Hassan Whiteside, Power Forward: Antawn Jamison, Small Forward: Yuan Man, Shooting Guard: Klay Thompson, Point Guard: Kyrie Irving;

Mavericks: Center: Brandon Haywood, Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki, Small Forward: Shawn Marion, Shooting Guard: Vince Carter, Point Guard: Jason Kidd.

"Dirk, I'm your fan, give me a good beat up on the Cavaliers!" A fan on the sidelines yelled loudly as the two sides stood still and were about to jump the ball.

At this time, Yuan Man felt that Bird's soul had awakened.

Without waiting for Nowitzki to respond, Yuan Man immediately pointed at the fan and replied loudly: "Hey, man, I appreciate your courage, but for this game, I will leave the cowboy bone for you, this one Cow, we are slaughtered!"

Owen and Clay looked at each other, they had never seen such an arrogant Yuan Man in training!Could it be that this guy showed his true character when he was on the court?
Who knew that this fan, seeing Yuan Man's response to himself, replied to Yuan Man even more excitedly: "Hey, although I'm also Chinese, I'm sorry, even if you add friendship points, I don't think you can lead the Cavaliers to victory." , after all, you failed to make it to the playoffs last season."

"We seemed to be eighth in the Eastern Conference last season." Owen asked Clay, who was standing not far from him, to confirm.

"It should be, that guy is a fake fan." Clay was also a little speechless.

"Don't pay attention to him, Yuan, he's just trying to find fault." Jamieson reminded Yuan Man because he was afraid that Yuan Man would be distracted during the game.

Who knew that Yuan Man actually walked to the sidelines, put his hands on his hips, and said loudly: "I think I'm going to give you a sum of money to see a doctor. You went blind at a young age. There are rumors on the Internet that the ophthalmologist is pissed off." The guy is you! I remember you!"

After Yuan Man finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to start the game.

Whiteside won the first offensive right for the Cavaliers. Yuan Man didn't make any adjustments after receiving the ball, and threw the ball directly to Marion in front of him.

"Hey, this is a three-pointer!" Scott couldn't help exclaiming, "Even if our tactic is to hit fast, there is no need to shoot so hastily!"

Yuan Man's shot was firm and sudden, so Marion, who was not mentally prepared, could only watch Yuan Man throw the ball.

"Shua", a three-pointer hit!

After scoring the goal, Yuan Man put the thumb and index fingertips of both hands together to form a circle gesture, and then placed them on his eyes, responding to the provocative fan just now with his movements.

Keep your dog eyes open and watch brother's performance!

This ball can be hit, in addition to Yuan Man's own special training on three-pointers, it also benefited from the blessing of Larry Bird's possession.

Judging from the three-pointer he made just now, Yuan Man discovered that after Bird possessed him, he paid more attention to the use of his wrist when shooting a three-pointer, so that the arc of the three-pointer he shot would be smoother. It's taller, and it saves effort when shooting.

This is the main effect of the "Legendary Roulette" this time, allowing the host to experience the playing style and thinking style of these legendary superstars through empathy, so as to improve their basketball accomplishment and basketball skills.

"It's a beautiful shot." Clay deliberately high-fived Yuan Man who made the opening three-pointer. After the two practiced every day, they would practice three-pointers. Yuan Man was able to hit the three-pointer for the first time. I know, this is the result of Yuan Man's hard training, and the smooth shooting, this is what Yuan Man deserves!
"Oh, Yuan's three-point shot seems to have improved a lot compared to last season." Seeing Yuan Man's first three-point shot, Drew, the team's assistant coach, expressed his opinion on Yuan Man's three-point shot. The coach's eyes have seen many people, even many basketball stars, so what kind of strength a player possesses can be seen from a few contacts or a performance.

The reason why Drew can express this opinion so quickly is because Yuan Man's shooting posture is more standard than last season, and the shooting moment is more stable. This is definitely the result of hard training, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

However, after Yuan Man hit a three-pointer, Nowitzki, the boss of the Mavericks, immediately set an example, making a golden rooster independent, ignoring the defense in front of Jamison, and hitting a shot.

Just as Scott expected before the game, Nowitzki was originally 10cm taller than Jamison. This trick is independent, leaning back slightly while supporting on one leg, and the shot is extremely high. Even if it is a defensive player who is about the same height as Nowitzki, it is difficult to block this ball.

After Yuan Man hit the first goal, Marion immediately took care of Yuan Man. Although he looked very similar to Hong Kong player Liu Yida, Marion never had wet dreams. He was full of vitality on the court, with long arms The exhibition enveloped Yuan Man, showing the power of his defensive titans.

Seeing that Yuan Man was stuck by Marion and unable to pass the ball, Owen immediately observed the positions of other players.

"Kyrie, I am very happy to play against you in this game. Although you have great potential, you will never beat me in this game." Kidd, who is experienced on the field, began to harass the young No. [-] pick with words at the beginning. Knowing Irving's playing style in college, it's easy to fall into personal solo, and solo defense is what Kidd is currently best at. Although he has almost lost his offensive ability, Kidd is still able to organize and defend. The main reason for standing on the court as the Mavericks' main point guard.

Kidd is inducing Irving to play individual singles.

The players of the Mavericks are also very cooperative at the moment. Regardless of whether this defensive intensity can last the entire court, everyone is doing their best to defend their opponents at the moment, leaving almost no space for the opponent to receive the ball, just like defending Yuan Like a full Marion.

Withdrawing his gaze, he began to step down and dribble. Owen, who had no good passing opportunities, seemed ready to play singles!
Counted!
Kidd's face was calm, but he was secretly smiling.

Sure enough, it was a young player, still too-young-too-naive, and fell into the tactical trap arranged by the Mavericks before the game in a few words.

Although he was ready for Owen's breakthrough, Kidd couldn't help being surprised when Irving started. He didn't expect that Owen's first step was so fast, and the second step didn't slow down at all!
Almost two steps in a row, Owen left Kidd behind him, completely passing the old Kidd.

I didn't expect Irving's breakthrough to be so sharp. Carter and Marion of the Mavericks immediately stepped forward to make up defenses, while Haywood and Nowitzki also stood in front of the basket to intercept. Although Irving passed Kidd, he immediately fell into a trap. The encirclement of the Mavericks defense.

"No!" Scott exclaimed worriedly.

I saw Irving smiled slightly, quickly glanced at the half court, jumped up and passed the ball with both hands, and in the encirclement that was about to close, he accurately and quickly distributed the ball to Klay Thompson standing in the bottom corner.

Under the gaze of the Mavericks players, Clay's ISO9001 came again!
Press your toes, bend your knees, raise your hips, lean your upper body forward, raise the ball to the front of your neck, and shoot.

Hit!The Cavaliers scored two three-pointers in the opening game!

Although Clay is very low-key and even a little shy on weekdays, Clay seems to have changed his temper on the court. Come support Yuan Man, and respond to the fan just now!
The player he was facing scored a goal, and Carter was a little embarrassed.

Holding the ball, breaking through Clay, and rushing to the basket, Carter passed the ball to Heywood.

"Isn't it just a breakthrough to score the ball, it's nothing special." Carter thought to himself.

Heywood got up from the basket and was about to put the ball into the basket, but at the moment of the shot, a feeling of uneasiness came!
A big hand appeared in front of Heywood's eyes from small to large, from far to near, and with a snap, it slapped the ball that Heywood threw into the basket!

The ball rolled in Kidd's direction, but before Kidd could bend down, Irving of the Cavaliers rushed to Kidd quickly, picked up the ball and started a fast break!
Irving's advancing speed was very fast. In the Mavericks, only Marion followed closely behind, and the two formed a front and back with a half height difference.

Owen and Marion, who came to the basket, took off one after another, but Marion, who is 2.01 meters tall, covered a larger area in the air. His experience allowed Marion to cover all the space that Owen could shoot!
Owen, who took off, slowly leaned back in the air, becoming almost parallel to the floor!
Utilizing the space he created and dodging Marion's defense, Irving shot the ball high. When Marion landed, Irving's shot also hit at the same time!

Not long after the opening, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, who made their debut for the Cavaliers, began to exert their respective energies and led the Cavaliers to an 8-2 lead over the defending champion Mavericks!
