183. Kill the Emperor
(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)
Since entering the league, James has always been full of confidence. He is full of confidence in himself and believes that he can handle any opponent. In some games, the Cavaliers will lose, and even in some important games, they will lose, but this does not affect James' confidence. It is impossible for him to win for 82 regular season games, right? The Bulls, who are commanded by the top Jordan, cannot do it.
James is not always attentive in the regular season. Sometimes he plays like going to work, just dealing with 20 rebounds or five assists at will, as long as the fans are happy to watch.
Today is different. Today he is determined to teach the Warriors or Chamberlain a lesson. He wants this young team that is now in the league to change, knowing that he, LeBron James, is the real ruler of the NBA. He hopes that Chamberlain understands that if he wants to make a name for himself, he has to come to the Cavaliers to help him.
To be honest, although the little emperor is humble and low-key, he still can't stand the current inside helper. Ilgoskas is indeed tall, but he is too slow to move and has poor defensive ability. Sometimes, as an outside, he has to go to the inside to top the cylinder. Ben Wallace is not slow to move and is very strong, but he is a system-like star. He and the Pistons are mutually content, just like the Sharks and the Sea. Now that the Sharks have left the sea and come to the shore, they can bring too little help to him.
As a result, he planned to play well today to teach his opponent a lesson, but was depressed to find that this wish might not be achieved. The Warriors implemented inhumane double-teaming on him, especially in the second half, when Jackson and West played at the same time, the little emperor could not stand it.
Jackson and West followed James firmly, especially the latter. As long as the little emperor got the ball, he would go up and get involved at all costs. But his physique is still quite strong. At least the little emperor cannot deal with him as easily as he deals with Ellis.
Gibson passed the ball to James. After the ball left, West, who was staring at him all the way, changed the target, immediately rushed towards James, staring at him from the wing.
James felt very upset when he held the ball. He glared at West and thought to himself that I didn't fuck you, my mother, why are you so active when facing me? However, he quickly left this kind of thought out loud because Jackson defended him with an oppressive defense.
The little emperor pushed Jackson with his elbow and dribbled the ball back slowly. He slowly slapped the ball, swept his eyes into the inside and suddenly started, and took two steps forward to shake Jackson away. Then West rushed up and continued to defend against him.
James was so annoyed that he turned around and hit West with his strong body. Although he successfully knocked away his opponent, Jackson chased him again. He was trapped in the tight double-team between the two. Helplessly, James had no choice but to pass the ball to Gibson.
Billups changed defense in time. Gibson had no other way when facing an idol who was taller and stronger than him, and could only pass the ball to the inside.
Now the Cavaliers' inside line is no longer Big Z and Big Ben, and Old Nelson is very optimistic about Valaijo, who has got the chance to play.
With his back against Chamberlain, Valaijo turned around in a coquettish manner. He felt that his movement was done very consistently and should have thrown away the opponent behind him, so he jumped into the shot.
The biggest advantage of old ball oilers like Daz is that they never underestimate their opponents, and after learning that their opponents are very strong, they no longer take the chance to do some stupid things.
Chamberlain responded to Valaijo's jump shot with a big hat. If the latter uses a hook, he may still be a little hard. What is this specious jump shot? Looking for an hat?
During the offense and defense transition, Billups organized the Warriors' offensive in an orderly manner. Except for West running wildly, the frontcourt line was organized under his command.
Chamberlain mentioned helping Billups cover at a high position. Valejo was stunned when facing Billups who broke through in front of him. With this gap, Billups had already reached the penalty area.
Big Ben, who was ordered to double-team Chamberlain, could only turn around and chase this former teammate. He had a deep understanding of Billups' ferocity. If he was the defensive core among the five Pistons Tigers back then, then the offensive core would definitely be Billups.
Billups seemed to have guessed Big Ben's choice. After breaking into the penalty area, he did not turn around and threw the ball back. Chamberlain squeezed away Valejo and grabbed the ball and cut down. At this time, it was too late to get back to defense. Facing the opponent's open arms, Chamberlain twisted his waist and turned around, flicked the basket and fucked Valejo who had finally caught up with him, and made a simple dunk with one hand.
The Warriors resolutely played the inside, which made James very depressed. He had good defense and was quite strong, but if he went to the inside to fight Chamberlain, he would be directly beaten to meat sauce by the latter.
The Cavaliers rely too much on James as the core. When West and Jackson blocked this core at all costs, they became panicked. Gibson wanted to unlock this dead end. He knew that as long as the outside line was full of energy, the opponent would not dare to double-team James so recklessly.
After clarifying this goal, Gibson acted as a brave man. He crept around the crowd like a loach, and finally broke into the penalty area with the ball. He saw that he could score the ball by picking the basket. But when he jumped up, he found that Chamberlain suddenly appeared in front of him.
In order to avoid being blocked, Gibson could only work hard to increase the shooting curve, which means that basketball will no longer have a clearance. Evans, who came on as a substitute, easily got the rebound, looking happy.
Billups took the ball and quickly attacked, West came on the wing, James and Gibson formed the first defense line, but both of them were feinted attacks. Chamberlain, who charged from behind, was the real attack point. Facing Chamberlain who was aggressively storming into the penalty area, the Cavaliers had no solution, Big Ben was left behind. Although Valejo ran fast, his physique was too poor. Can he dare to stop Chamberlain who charged into the battle?
The Warriors' smooth attack made the fans in the Oracle Arena exclaimed. Chamberlain's final dunk always touches their g-spot, allowing their adrenaline to surge out in an instant, reaching a high emotional height.
Old Nelson stared at the Cavaliers' dead corner. Although this team is very strong, everything is built on the premise of James' normal performance. After all, the Cavaliers' tactics are no tactics. Others handed the ball to James and then he decided how to play.
Petrus, Harrington, Jackson, Barnes and West took turns to play. They were tangled with James without any effort. Even if the latter couldn't get the ball, they would go up and tear him, let alone when he got the ball?
James' physical strength was consumed very well, but he was the Cavaliers' engine and had to run. When he was not running well, the team began to collapse.
Every team knows the Cavaliers' weaknesses, but they just can't control him because James is too strong. However, facing the Warriors, the Cavaliers' advantages are gone.
As we all know, the strongest thing about James is his physique. His tank-like breakthrough dunk makes all teams feel desperate, except for the Warriors. Chamberlain is not afraid that James will rush into the inside. As long as he dares to get to the basket, he will let him get a big hat!
The penalty area is my territory, this is the no-fly area!
James knew this, so he used jump shots from the outside to end the battle in the first half. This fighting method was fine when he felt hot, but as he exhausted his energy in the second half, his feel began to worsen and the Cavaliers collapsed.
In the battle in the east, the Magic also used this move to deal with the Cavaliers. Howard was in the penalty area and specifically dealt with James who dared to rush into the penalty area. Others took turns to play to consume his physical strength. When he had no physical strength, the Magic would win.
This is why the Cavaliers are unwilling to meet the Magic now, but now they are even less willing to meet the Warriors.
The Cavaliers dominated the rhythm of the first half, while the Warriors were in the world in the second half. James' shooting percentage declined all the way, while the Warriors' score advantage was good all the way. James once led the team to launch a counterattack in the fourth quarter, but was eventually ruthlessly wiped out by the Warriors.
At the end of the game, the Cavaliers lost to the Warriors 92:100. James originally wanted to take revenge, but he was taught a lesson by his opponent. What's even more unfortunate is that this is the last time the two teams have fought this season. If he wants to take revenge, he has to wait for next season.
"I really hope we can meet in the Finals, so I can teach you a lesson without mercy." James said to Chamberlain after the game. He made 12 of 28 shots and scored 35 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists in this game. Judging from the data, you can tell how desperate he is.
Chamberlain scored 26 points, 18 rebounds and 7 blocks on 10 of 16 shots. If he just looked at the data, he was not inferior to the young emperor who is now calling the wind and rain in the league.
"Then I'll wait for you in the finals, but the premise is that you have to be able to defeat the Hulk composed of the three monsters." Chamberlain said with a smile. He was in a good mood after winning the game and finally won another victory. This is very important for the West, which is now ranked terrifyingly competitive.
Chamberlain wanted to leave, but he suddenly thought of a question and asked James: "Have you seen the Olympic men's basketball schedule? It seems that the US team and the Chinese team are in the same group, and they will meet in the first game, right?"
James didn't pay attention to this matter. He knew that he was destined to be selected into the Dream Team, and he also knew that they would definitely win the gold medal. Since that's the case, what's the point of paying attention to other things? The most interesting thing in the world is the kind of thing that has a result before it even started.
"Maybe it, what's wrong?" James didn't understand what Chamberlain mentioned.
Chamberlain laughed and said, "Maybe even if we don't meet in the finals in recent years, you and I still have a chance to fight. But I hope you will indeed teach me a lesson, not me, to teach you a lesson!"
