Chapter 89
If James is the most domineering and sharpest spear, Iguodala is a shield. In the past, the spear always easily pierced through the shield. Now Channing is the new shield of the 76ers, even better than Iguodala. The shield must be strong and strong, and the double shield is perfect. It is even more difficult for James to penetrate the 76ers' defense.

This is also the reason why the Cavaliers have been uncharacteristically, falling behind from the start, and being fully suppressed.

"What should we do? LeBron, you must hold on!" Mike Brown can only place his hope on his disciples. The Cavaliers are determined to win this victory. The expectation of No.1 in history has also led to great pressure on everyone in the Cavaliers, including James. Last season, the Cavaliers reached the finals for the first time in the history of the Cavaliers. Just when everyone is looking forward to the new king of James At that time, they were shaved bald by the old Spurs, which was a great shame to James, so James King has already spoken, and this season must make a comeback to avenge his shame, but no one thought that today they met It is really unacceptable that the underdog 76ers team is so difficult.

There is not much pressure on the 76ers. Philadelphia's goal this season is very low. It is good to keep making the playoffs. Compared with the current results, Coach Cheeks values ​​the future more, especially the No. 12 pick Channing. He played brilliantly in the first three games and made rapid progress. He didn't expect to win against the Cavaliers today. Seeing Channing's continuous improvement and even temporarily suppressing James is Cheeks' biggest gain.

"Time to give this kid more tactical status!" Cheeks thought, calling assistant coach Saunders over and whispering something in his whisper.

Returning to the game, James once again broke out in the small universe at the critical moment. Facing Iguodala's strict defense and scoring consecutively, Iguodala can only show his helplessness. Facing this top scorer, no one can do it. The Cavaliers The defensive strength of the team as a whole has also increased, making several attacks by the 76ers come back in vain.

This is the current weakness of Philadelphia, that is, the offense lacks strong points. Iguodala's offense is mediocre. Channing will not get many opportunities under high-intensity defense if he only relies on pick-and-roll. , At the critical moment of the game, no one could stand up, and the Cavaliers won this victory.

James specially found Channing and hugged him:

"You are really good, little rookie, come on, the future is yours!"

Channing was very speechless. A person who didn't have a championship ring dared to speak in such a famous tone. James is really arrogant. Besides, it might not be possible for the two of us to win the championship first. Let's go watch.

However, these words are all Channing's dark words, and it is his unwillingness to admit defeat as a competitor. On the other hand, Channing also confirmed that the strength of James is a level stronger than that of the peak brother Antetokounmpo. Coupled with good skills, and the small universe that bursts out from time to time, James is undoubtedly the first superstar in the league, and, more importantly, the teammates of the Cavaliers are indeed more hip. As a mother, Channing also understood his difficulties, so Channing still hugged James very friendly and expressed his respect.

To be honest, Channing is envious of James' status from the bottom of his heart. Although it is difficult for one person to pull a team, James has the absolute supreme right to speak, and Channing is just an ordinary starter at the moment. He is eager to improve himself , approaching the position of the team leader.

After the hug was over, James was still unwilling to let go, and still hugged Channing with his big elbow, which made Channing a little awkward. This guy couldn't be Guy's brother.

What was even more surprising was that James suddenly whispered a few words:

"Qian, I am very optimistic about you. If you have the opportunity, you must come to the Cavaliers. I am very much looking forward to fighting side by side with you."

James blinked and walked away, but Channing was shocked and didn't know what to feel for a while.

"Hey, Qian, buddy, what did he say to you?"

Iguodala and old Miller came over, he felt that Channing's expression was a little weird and something was wrong.

"Oh, nothing, just a few polite words."

"Is that so?" Iguodala obviously didn't believe it, and Channing didn't want to say anything, so he could only make up a sentence:
"Actually, it's James' daughter-in-law who sees that my young man is more handsome, and wants to introduce some girlfriends to me. You know, I often have this kind of trouble, and I'm used to it."

Everyone fell.

……

However, what is unexpected is that James really praised Channing by name in the press conference after the game. He praised Channing for his good physical fitness and solid defensive skills. Last season, compared to reborn, it caused a lot of trouble for the Cavaliers. He also directly said that Channing is his most promising rookie in this class. As long as he goes on the right path, Channing's future will be bright.

This remark directly caused shocking waves in the NBA and even the world basketball world. It was the first time that many sports media heard of Channing's name, asking each other who this rookie was, and they all went back to make up their homework. In just a few days , the reporters wanted to dig out all of Channing's ex-girlfriends, and Channing's news quickly occupied all the headlines.

"Durant? Oden? James thinks someone is a better rookie than them!"

"Heroes cherish heroes, Zhan Huang hand-picked the strongest rookie!"

"Overpowering Bosh, against James, the little emperor has to bow his head in the face of Channing's defense!"

"In the third game of his career, he can single-handedly fight against James Huang. We all misunderstood Channing! Only LeBron knows how good he is!"

ESPN even sent a reporter to conduct an exclusive interview with Channing.

Of course, the focus of the interview is not what kind of player Channing is, but how Channing views James' words.

This is the experience of old reporters. So many overwhelming news reports are talking about Channing. Only ESPN knows that the focus is on James. If Channing responds to James’ words, it will definitely set off another wave of hype. .

Channing doesn't care if James really thinks he is the strongest rookie in this year's mind. It's likely that this is just a way for James to show his favor to him, but he can't talk nonsense when facing reporters.

Qian Ning rolled his eyes and spit out a few words:
"I think, James, you're right!"

The self-confidence and high-end compulsion that came to the face made the ESPN reporter stand in awe.
