Chapter 271 Dunks at the free-throw line without looking at people passing the ball!
After much anticipation, the opening game of the NBA 03-04 regular season opener is finally about to begin.
Kwame Brown, who had just received the championship ring, was quite excited at this time.
Although the jumping ball has not started yet, Kwame Brown has been staring at the basketball in the referee's hand, and his eyes are constantly shining, just like a wild dog in heat, eager to try.
Even if his opponent is a small giant who is over 2.2 meters tall - Zajunas Irgoskas.
Kwame Brown is about 10 cm away from height, and usually, he jumps the ball and looks at the speed of the ball, the height and the wingspan of the ball, and the experience of jumping the ball.
Daz is a member of the 96 Golden Generation, and his experience in jumping balls is naturally richer than Kwame Brown.
At the moment, Kwame Brown and Daz jumped the ball, it's hard to say who lost and who won. Judging from the situation of last season's matchup, Kwame Brown is still slightly inferior.
"Kaome Brown successfully helped the Bucks win the ball right to the first attack!"
People feel refreshed when they are happy. Today, Kwame Brown is in good shape. From the beginning, he made a contribution and helped the Bucks control the first attacking ball.
Next, Reed passed the ball to Payton, who took the ball through half and launched the tactics.
Because in the previous preseason, the Bucks changed their playing style last season, at least the starting lineup did not play in the run.
Therefore, the Cavaliers who are good at defense have big and bulky big z in the starting lineup, and can also adjust their position in time and set up their defensive formations.
The first defense of the Cavaliers in front of the Bucks was James, who was more than 2 meters tall and played against point guard.
Influenced by He Li, James' draft template has changed slightly.
However, in addition to the power of the James template, the name of the magician still exists.
Of course, no matter whether it is He Li, the control striker or the big point guard of the Magician, James can become the Cavaliers' number one ball holder based on the template.
When defending, James has not yet gained muscles and weight. He has good speed advantages and agility, and can also be used to defend his opponent's point guard players.
Soon, James took the initiative to go forward and confront Payton, and Payton tried to turn around and pass James with a breakthrough.
But James' horizontal movement speed is excellent! Payton's breakthrough skills, which have nearly 20 years, have no advantage in front of James' talent.
At this time, perhaps because of face or concern for the younger generation, Payton kept squirting trash at James while beating James behind the back at the three-point line.
Payton's back-attack is also awesome, even better than Cassel and Kidd.
It's just a little inferior to Magicians and Mark Jackson, but the former relies on physical confrontation, while the latter directly forces the league to rewrite the rules of the body.
Now Payton is like Mark Jackson, bullying the thin defender with his back.
Although James has a great advantage over Payton's body shape, James is a high school rookie after all.
For an old football player like Payton, James is very good at bullying just because he is tall but not powerful or confrontation.
That's right, he was obviously a tall and mighty man, and under Payton's back, James was like a loli with a delicate body and a soft body that was easily pushed down.
The defensive end is stretched and looks quite embarrassed.
However, after Payton hit James' back near the free throw line, he still failed to gain enough shot space.
Although the Cavaliers are a bottom team these days, their overall defense is still good.
Because of the good joint defense and defense replacement system, the current Cavaliers boss Ricky Davis also rushed over immediately to help James defend Payton.
Just as Peyton turned around and saw Ricky Davis, he immediately passed the ball to He Li at the forty-five degrees on the right.
It is naturally impossible for He Li to have no one around him. Two forward players, Dalius Myers and Jumeine Jones, immediately came to He Li to double-team.
He Li did not rush to take action when he received the ball, but continued to pass the ball and sent the ball to the basket.
At this time, Carl Malone was about to be determined at the right bottom line. After receiving He Li's pass, he encountered the slow-moving Daz and went straight to the basket, slashed Huashan with a dunk.
Carl Malone has reached the end of his career, otherwise he would not have given up on one person and one city, gave up on continuing to cooperate with Stockton, and ran the Bucks to win the championship with their legs.
But even Carl Malone, whose physical fitness has declined a lot, and even Carl Malone, who has become a handsome guy in the mid-range shooting, will not be ruthless when encountering a good dunk opportunity!
Not to mention He Li, sometimes it is just for health preservation.
"Postman, postman, postman!"
Carl Malone instantly ignited the enthusiasm of Bradley Center fans.
Interestingly, there are fans who directly shouted Carl Malone's name - Carl.
This led to the old god's head coach George Carl, who was originally sitting on the bench, jumping out of his seat with joy, and then Lao Dang danced a waving dance for celebration.
By the way, the Bucks ended their first attack and just returned to the defense and took the position. The Cavaliers' first attack also came.
Because James is the No. 1 pick, he is more or less motivated.
He was crushed by Payton last round, so the whole round was not handed over to Ricky Davis to deal with. Instead, he wanted to attack independently and fight one back.
James dribbled through the half-court with a good look and communicated with Ricky Davis in the top arc with his eyes and tactical gestures. The latter agreed to James attack on his own, so James would not be polite.
James observed the Bucks' position and then took the initiative to break through to Payton's position.
Rookie James is indeed fast and has very strong explosive power. Perhaps the ball control technique is still defective and the combination of man and ball cannot be done, but the dribbling is really fast and difficult to guard against.
The experienced Payton just stepped on the strength defense of James, but James passed by in one step.
But the next second, Payton turned halfway and started to accelerate, catching up with James.
James broke through halfway and met He Li, who had already assisted in defense to the three-second zone.
James was attacked by Payton and He Li, and he seemed in a mess for a while.
James, who obviously lacked experience in the competition, had to stop and barely take the jump shot in desperation.
But the man is too high, the center of gravity of the dribble is high, and the man and ball are not well combined. As soon as the ball is grabbed and raised to the waist, it is broken by Payton, who is quick-eyed and quick-handed.
Payton completed the steal and transported the ball, and immediately turned around and ran back.
James realized that the ball was lost, so he immediately struggled to catch up.
Seeing that James had just taken three big steps, he had already caught up with Payton, who had just passed the half. Before James could grab the ball from Payton, Payton did not look at the pass and sent the ball to He Li.
After He Li received the ball, he no longer took good care of himself. He directly passed James who was looking back to watch the ball, held the ball and took two big steps toward the basket.
Then he stepped on the free throw line and went up to the sky, and a one-handed windmill slammed and bombed the basket.
"He Li, He Li, He Li!"
“mvp,mvp,mvp!”
"Champion, championship, championship!"
It turns out that even after gaining weight, He Li still has the athletic ability to dunk the free throw line.
Seeing this, most of the Bucks fans were excited to stand up from their seats, and couldn't help but shout He Li's name, or shouting the slogans of MVP and the championship.
In fact, this ball still has some tricks.
The tacit understanding between Payton and He Li is naturally not yet at the point where they can pass the ball without watching people.
However, when He Li assisted in defending James, Payton saw He Li defending over.
When Payton cuts off the ball from James's hand, Payton knew clearly that He Li would definitely follow him and rush to the frontcourt together.
At this time, Payton also sold a coincidence to He Li, the master of the Bucks.
He passed the ball that he could score on a layup to He Li without looking at the pass, so that He Li could score by performing violent dunks.
In this way, he gained He Li's trust and the recognition of Bucks fans.
Unexpectedly, James played too seriously and his talent was too amazing.
If Payton had a little selfish play, he might have been beaten with a blood cap by James, which made him doubt his life.
But it is Peyton who knows the correct way to win the championship with his legs.
Instead, it showed the top point guard's sense of playing ball as if he had eyes behind him, and successfully predicted James' pursuit and He Li's improvement.
It was also because Payton came to the Bucks and in the first regular season game, he played such a wonderful cooperation with He Li who was destined to be in the top ten goals.
This made many Bucks fans immediately selectively forget Kassel, the hero who won the second consecutive championship.
To be honest, Kassel and He Li played for two seasons and couldn't find a wonderful scene like this.
Of course, Kassel cannot be blamed.
The Bucks' defensive counterattacks are mostly done by shooting. The Bucks have excellent shooters, and the three-pointers are one more point than two-pointers.
With such a chance to take action at a large open position, why not try to shoot three-pointers to destroy the morale of the opponent, but instead adopt an offensive method that may cause physical injuries?
In order to compete for the championship in the previous two seasons, we naturally needed to play more reasonably and healthier.
Although this season is also aimed at the championship, this game is a national opening match, so He Li needs to cooperate with his teammates to perform.
"I really like this feeling!"
James felt this feeling of boiling throughout the audience. Although it was not him who was excited by the fans, but someone else, James also expressed his ability to empathize.
Chapter completed!
