The King of the Times (finale)(1/2)
An era is destined to have only one strongest man, and the current league is in this situation. James and Zhang Weifeng, as the darlings of this era, compete with their respective teams on the supreme stage of the arena, and the winner is destined to be in a leading position in the career competition. Therefore, for these two players who are very competitive, eager to prove themselves, and eager to let their names appear in the great list of future greats, this round of series means too much.
On the stage of the finals of this year, Zhang Weifeng was 21 and James was 26. Two players with 5 years apart, but both had abilities and dominance that ordinary people could not reach. They all hoped to prove that they were the dominant players of this era, both inside and outside.
"The kings of the inner and outer lines compete for the throne of the ruler, which will be the beginning of the legendary showdown, and the winner will lead."
"It is said that this era is an outside era, but the emergence of Zhang Weifeng may be able to change this situation."
"They are still young. This series is just their first real showdown in their careers, but who will be the winner is still unknown. But no matter what, it will be the happiest thing for fans to see a great young insider and an all-round fighter compete on the stage of the times."
...
During the finals in 2009, fans were talking nonstop. In addition to fans from both Cleveland and Saramento, it is absolutely enjoyable for others to witness the duel between the two teams that have been waiting for.
According to the schedule, the fifth game of the finals was played at the Kings' home court. This is the last home game for the Kings in this round of the series. Given the 2:2 score between the two sides at this time, it goes without saying that this will be a game full of unknowns and variables. Saramento fans are almost overwhelmed. The seats in the field have been sold out, and some fans have to watch the game in the square outside the stadium. The reason for this is nothing special. They hope to use their support to give the Kings greater motivation and allow the home players to show their best form to meet the challenge in the last home and most critical game.
Morale is like a rainbow, and the sound is like waves. The momentum emitted in the Ako Stadium has already made some players with little experience in the competition and their arms are trembling. In the sea of consciousness of these newcomers, they have never seen such a big scene. Even if some people may have watched the finals in recent years, when they are truly on the stage of this peak showdown, the momentum of the home court can simply crush them.
Evans is known as Pippen of Cleveland. Although it was only his first year in the league, the young man still played well. He showed his talent and potential to the fullest. Although he seemed to be a mature player, his rookie side was still revealed at this time. When the sounds pounced towards him like beasts, Evans's body still couldn't help but tremble, obviously. He was a little scared.
James' attention has been on the Kings' rest area, and when he seemed to have a spirit to notice the inappropriate breath that Evans emitted. James couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is still young after all, and whether he can continue on this stage will have an indescribable impact on his career.
Feeling someone patted his shoulder, Evans couldn't help but turn his head to search, the point was that James was grinning.
"Ta, relax, it's just a game."
When Evans heard this, although he didn't say much, he couldn't help but breathe fiercely, and then glanced around with fierce eyes.
Although Saramento is very powerful, he is Evans, a great rookie!
The declaration in his heart was like a roar made Evans unable to help clench his fists. Although his body muscles were still shaking involuntarily, he obviously felt that his mood had calmed down a lot.
...
Zhang Weifeng smiled unconsciously, and his attention shifted from the Cavaliers' rest area. At this time, there was no turmoil in his heart, and in his eyes, he could not see any other emotion at all.
Calm! Be calm!
This is what Zhang Weifeng gives everyone a feeling.
"He is so scary! His growth rate is really shocking &..."
A fan who came to support the Cavaliers from Cleveland couldn't help but murmur. He felt that this kind of breath was completely familiar. It came from the aura of a player named Michael Jordan back then, the surging confidence and his dominance, which definitely gave people a completely indestructible impression.
The feeling of being unbeatable! Although this aura is a bit immature, it should not be underestimated.
...
Siyus was completely unable to calm down this scene, but for him, it was also a kind of training, and the sudden feeling also came from the bottom of his heart, which was actually a thought of leaving. As the head coach, he was not as calm as a player. Although he hoped to watch this round of rising sun, he knew that his level was limited and he still wanted to leave. He was afraid that he would delay this talented team... Although he was selfish, he was not stupid...
...
Over the basketball court, the dazzling spotlight also enveloped the entire basketball court in a charm that could touch a person's heart. This can completely make fans fall into it, and then go to enjoy a great showdown.
The tactical arrangement is the main one, but the collision of the auras of the two teams cannot be ignored. The Cavaliers' aura is as sharp as steel, like a magnificent steel wall that cannot be crushed. On the other hand, the Kings can feel a strange momentum, just like a ball of cotton, and even if the sharp objects hit it, they will not break them down.
Different auras represent the essential difference between the two teams. For the Cavaliers, the Kings have completely transformed and terrified that they have made any team scared after the past two years of training and the baptism of the highest stage.
Fear would not enter James's non-human body. After the whistle of the game sounded, he stepped onto the stage that made him feel full of emotion without hesitation.
The first quarter of the Tianwang Mountain Battle was not as dull as fans expected. On the contrary, at the beginning of the game, James frequently used his personal abilities to attack the Kings' defense line, which many people did not expect.
James is very excited, how excited is. It can be seen from his performance, the signature one-handed dunk that crosses the free throw line in the fast break, and the crushing breakthrough dunk that has passed several people, and the gliding turnover dunks that rarely appear in the dunk competition...
In the first quarter alone, James contributed 6 bloody dunks to fans around the world.
Looking at his body, except for the slight sweat on his body, he was not tired at all. On the contrary, his face was full of energy, which made people begin to sigh at how terrifying James had.
"These dunks can easily win him 45+ or more in the slam dunk competition."
Such a voice was made from the commentator's seat.
Seeing James performing such a performance, the Kings fans couldn't help looking at Zhang Weifeng who was standing on the field. Their eyes were filled with flames of hope. Some people actually roared excitedly: Zhang, destroy them!
Zhang Weifeng seemed to hear this sound. He stretched out a finger and stood it up to his mouth, making a move that calmed the surroundings.
"You are very confident!"
James's voice suddenly rang in Zhang Weifeng's ears.
Without doing anything, Zhang Weifeng stretched out his big hand and waved to James: "You are also very confident! You want to defeat us alone..."
An uproar broke out, and the fans widened their eyes and looked up at the three-point line in the field. A group of duels began.
"Zhang Weifeng went to defend James himself!"
Ignoring the messy voices around him, Zhang Weifeng looked solemn. He believed that he could easily defend James.
James felt very good today, which made people think it was caused by his complete excitement. The soft feel allowed him to complete some fancy dribble that he could not usually complete. Although it was a bit inappropriate, it could make people dazzle.
At this time, no matter how James dribbled, Zhang Weifeng seemed very calm, and he was not affected by James' somewhat crappy fake moves at all.
James looked at Zhang Weifeng's long arms that were standing in front of him, and Zhang Weifeng's movements were not very moving with his movements. He made a decision in an instant.
Pull it out!
James chose to shoot after a dribble breakthrough without success!
This situation is entirely because of Zhang Weifeng's decision under the defense without blind spots. James had no choice. He chose to shoot directly instead of taking risks and taking layups with a few inside players whose bodies are not worse than himself. That is not safe. James thinks so.
Zhang Weifeng's big hand raised with James' shot made people understand that his defensive attention was entirely on James' shooting.
A little bad luck!
When Zhang Weifeng saw James shoot the basketball in, he couldn't help but feel a little upset. James' shot this time adjusted his shooting speed, so Zhang Weifeng did not interfere with his shot in time. James, who had a hot touch and physical condition, easily completed the attack.
21 points per quarter!
James's performance was completely overwhelming, because the score between the two sides was 29:24, and the Cavaliers were temporarily leading by 5 points, so James' performance was absolutely shocking.
"LBJ's ** is unprecedentedly intense, it will be a fun game." Some people who keep their viewing attitude made such a voice.
"James scored 21 points alone, only 3 points less than the Kings' single score. He's a god-level performance!"
Even such a voice began to gush out from the commentator's seat at this time, which shows how good James performed during this period.
In the rest area, Zhang Weifeng responded faintly.
"Everything is still under control, James' performance is not enough to win the game. Wait and see..."
No one suspects that Zhang Weifeng is blowing the air at this time. Because for a player who can be the best defensive player for the rest of the year, this is completely his confidence and the kind of trait that should be shown.
With the loss of time, Brown was a little nervous, and when he saw that James, who played the 7th pig iron in this game, still hoped to get back the lost touch, Brown was a little crazy.
"Lj, organize the attack!"
Facing the disciples of the Proud son of Heaven, this is a sentence Brown can say.
When the fans and Kings players on the field saw James' forced layup but failed, they happily slapped their high-high to celebrate with their partners around them.
The momentum emitted between Zhang Weifeng waved his hand and stamped his feet began to make James unable to yell! This was simply a kind of bare provocation, and James roared angrily.
"Zhang Weifeng chose to give up shooting and pressing against James. His goal has been achieved..."
That's really what happened. Zhang Weifeng understood that James' threat was mainly due to his extremely strong and confident in this game. This is the most terrifying thing, even more terrifying than James' destructive ability.
Therefore, Zhang Weifeng chose to dismantle James' confidence. Understanding James' skills, Zhang Weifeng naturally knew how to start. When he was very confident, James' shooting was very accurate. Because his shooting was very decisive, this helped him a lot and his shooting rate was also very high. Of course, James's killer move was his crushing layup, but as Zhang Weifeng, who could create air barriers, he was not worried about this at all.
In the first quarter, Zhang Weifeng's shooting defense against James was not very successful, but he completely believed that he was to resolutely stop letting James break through, so James kept shooting from the outside out of confidence. As a result, Zhang Weifeng's goal was achieved. James' muscles became more and more compact for a long time, so his soft shooting began to slowly disappear.
James started to make a blackshot. Zhang Weifeng understood that the opportunity had come. When James, who had a very high IQ in basketball, began to choose to change and make a breakthrough, Zhang Weifeng gave James a big hat. In most cases, he chose not to let James enter the inside, so James began to pass the ball or could only shoot from the outside. As more and more blackshots, James' confidence was less strong, and the Cavaliers were gradually oppressed by the Kings.
The decisive battle of Tianwangshan will not end easily because James is not feeling smooth. After the entire game, the players of both teams gritted their teeth and dragged the game into the final winning moment. When the Kings led by 2 points 121:119, the Cavaliers needed a goal.
This is a scene that fans want to see. The final victory and loss of the game make the people they want to see make the final decision. The Cavaliers now need a three-pointer or a conservative two-pointer.
The 2-point lead is enough to drive the momentum of the Ako Stadium to a peak situation. The fans shouted loudly, making the players present burst into blood, but for the Cavaliers players, this is completely a kind of pressure, a pressure that can destroy their willpower...
Zhang Weifeng stopped the celebration of Kings players, and everyone gathered beside Seyus at this time to listen to the final defensive tactic arrangements.
The Cavaliers have only 4.7 seconds left. If you say that, then the mid-range that Zhang Weifeng made before can be understood as a quasi-final kill. Of course, this requires looking at the results of the Cavaliers' last attack.
On the field, the ground under the spotlight seemed particularly brilliant, and the bright colors seemed to want to present the hearts of the warriors one by one.
The shouts were heard, and for the super giants, this was completely ignored. They focused their attention completely on a peak state, and devoted themselves to the last ball.
The Kings players' eyes became substantial when the whistle sounded. The hungry wolf's eyes made the Cavaliers players feel a terrifying pores, but this did not affect their determination to attack for the last time, and their momentum was not weaker than what Kings players exuded...
What Zhang Weifeng is proud of in this game is that he disintegrated the self-confidence that James has gathered. This successful move is also a great influence on the final trend of the game.
After the game started, Zhang Weifeng's defense was completely on James. There was not much time, and although James got the basketball without Zhang Weifeng, he had to use an extremely difficult move to shoot the basketball out...
The last shot indicates the end of the entire series. The advantage laid by Tianwangshan made the Kings successfully re-established the Kings. In this round of the series, James' shortcomings were greatly amplified. He didn't want to confront Zhang Weifeng head-on, so this made the Cavaliers seem a little passive in the series.
However, Zhang Weifeng's confidence in suppressing James's main confidence comes from his skills and misalignment on the court. At this time, James was not good at playing against the fourth position like Zhang Weifeng, and his inside moves and status were not mature enough. This was a fatal flaw he showed in this round of the series.
...
Cleveland fans pointed their finger at the Kings, and the process lasted for a very long time. However, the celebrations would still be in front of them. Zhang Weifeng picked up the trophy and officially pulled him to the highest point in the basketball world.
Not to mention anything else, at this age, Zhang Weifeng is better than Michael Jordan.
After the end of the season, Zhang Weifeng is already the absolute hero of Saramento. In the first three years of his rookie contract, he brought two championship trophys to Saramento, which is enough to make him look down on all the great stars in history...
However, something that was unacceptable to fans happened, and the NBA stopped!
To be continued...
