456 Lying down and getting shot

The Warriors firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. A scene that Cavaliers fans were worried about happened. In the past games, they relied too much on James. When the little emperor was defended, their team fell into a state of headlessness, and they were confused regardless of offense and defense.

Although this game did not become a unilateral massacre, the Cavaliers did not see any hope of winning from beginning to end, and James was frustrated.

1094, the Warriors won 15 points at home, and the fans were very satisfied, because they won the second place in the Eastern Conference today.

In the past month, the Little Emperor has led the Cavaliers to fight in the east and west, fighting in the south and north, and the team's record is very brilliant. But this does not mean that the Cavaliers have no weaknesses. The main reason is that the team's advantages are too dazzling and block the shadow of weaknesses. The Little Emperor played too well, and his teammates did not perform much, and they didn't even need to play. The team has already won.

If the Cavaliers are flooding and their opponents are flood control dams, then James is the storm in this flood, and the others are just following him, the little shrimps. All teams know that defending James is equivalent to defeating the Cavaliers, but James' waves are too fierce, and their defense line will be smashed directly by the impact as soon as they hit it.

Until I meet the Warriors.

The Warriors may not have the best defense in the league, and their team defense still needs to be strengthened, but in three positions, their defense may be the best in the league, no one: center Chamberlain, small forward Jackson, and organizational defender Billups.

So, the Cavaliers Cup was in place. The Warriors' three positions were the ones that clamped the Little Emperor from the inside and outside. Jackson defended his life and kept pressing and entangled. He may be the most underrated defensive expert in the league. Before Chamberlain came to the Warriors, he was the main gate of the Warriors' defense. Because of his willingness to power, he could defend himself from the big ones, and because of his footsteps, he could also open the small ones.

This advantage conversion is more useful in defending James, because James has the strength of the inside and the footsteps of the outside. In the past, he was not as powerful as him, so he couldn't keep up with him; the power faster than him is smaller than him, and the strength of the confrontation cannot keep up with him. Today he met Jackson, whose physical fitness was of course worse than the Little Emperor, but at least he could barely entangle him.

This is enough. Jackson is the main defender but is not the only defender. Billups helps him on the outside, and Chamberlain directly takes over the inside. These three people dealt with James and made him suffer.

Jackson didn't get a tens of millions of annual salary for nothing. He was very good at positioning himself. He didn't try to grab the right to take action and focused on his defense. Of course, he wouldn't let go of the offensive opportunity. He could barely be considered an offensive kaleidoscope. If he was given a template in NH, it would be the weakened version of Pierce.

Today, when defending James, Jackson took turns to play. As long as the little emperor did not enter the three-point line, he would open the appropriate distance and wait for an opportunity to cut off the ball that he wanted to pass into the inside. If the little emperor took the ball and hit the back, he would immediately lower the center of gravity and use his steps and body to prevent the opponent from moving as much as possible to create a chance for steals for Billups, Iverson, West. If the little emperor wanted to break through, Jackson was not afraid. His movement was fast and speed was not much worse than James. In addition, his strong prediction ability could well judge his breakthrough route. His cautious attitude and quick reaction ability in defense made James's originally not very skilled fake moves even more pale. I could not move without you moving left and right.

Jackson only scored B points in today's game, and even Ibaka scored 2 points, but as soon as the game ended, everyone surrounded him. Chamberlain and Evans carried him on their shoulders with all their might. The others also came up to lift him up. The group shouted together: "Hero, Hero, Hero, Hero, You are the Mp of today."

The fans who had not left the court applauded with relief. The team's harmony and morale made them happy. Now the Warriors fans are worried that the team's excessive transactions have caused turmoil in their locker room, which would be more than worth the effort. Now it seems that they are thinking too much.

Jackson laughed happily, his whole body covered in sweat. Today may be the most painful game of his season, but he was just happy. All his efforts were worth it. Hill, who had just arrived at the Warriors, was also very happy. Although he was wearing a suit, he also came over, and Chamberlain and others accepted him by his side.

Chamberlain scored 3 points, 2l rebounds, and B blocks. Except for the second in the game, the other two are the highest in the game, and may also be the highest in the NH game today. However, everyone in the team said that Jackson is the hero, which is what really makes Hill feel amazing. The players of this team all saw each other's efforts and contributions, and did not just value data like reporters. Such a team is terrifying.

Many things on the court cannot be displayed by data. If players pursue data, it will be no different from the Knicks. The Warriors are different. Their players are willing to go to dirty work and tiring. Such opponents always make people desperate.

Unlike the team's atmosphere and the cheerful Warriors, the Cavaliers fell into a depressed mood, especially James. Even if he scored the highest 3 points in the game today, but so what? The team lost 3 points and it was not bad for James. If he was willing, it would be fine to get -6 points in ten consecutive games, but he could not lead the team to win ten consecutive victories.

Jackson's defense was very successful. James scored 3 points with two shots. He only hit 10 goals in total. In addition, there were only 4 rebounds and only 2 assists. So the players said that Jackson was a hero. He could not limit James' low scores, but he was stuck and prevented from going to the inside to grab rebounds. He kept disturbing the passes and preventing him from assisting his teammates.

Without James' organization, Xiao Mo, the so-called organizational guard, would only keep going inside and suddenly be blocked by Chamberlain, and half of the latter's eight blocks were contributed by him.

At the end of the game, James hugged Chamberlain unwillingly. He gritted his teeth and said, "See All-Stars, man, I will treat you well."

Chamberlain laughed and said, "Can't wait, baby, but don't take today's game to heart. This is my territory. I should be entertaining you, right?"

A reporter wanted to interview Chamberlain, who shook his head and pushed Jackson out, and said with a smile: "He is the protagonist, he is the hero. Today, Jack is the hero of the game. If you have any questions, you have to ask him.

Jackson is not an implicit person. Today he has really restricted James very well. He is the best player to limit James so far this season. When faced with reporters' interviews, he talked without hesitation.

"It's not easy, man, you know, it's not easy to fight LeBron. In fact, that's too difficult. I lost confidence several times in the game. But I know I can't walk away, I can't say, regret, guys, no one can defend LeBron, so forget it, you know, that's not my style, E Chauncey, Allen and other guys gave me confidence and helped me a lot. Of course, I think the most important thing is my repeated research on LeBron's game video before the game."

"You ask me what I think of as a veteran of the team, but only 6 shots? This is normal. A team needs a lot of roles. My role is defense rather than shooting. Our team does not need Musketeers now. What we need is the outside shield. I am willing to be such a guy because they all call me the boss, so I have to do that. Allen, Chaunci, Deronti, and even Curry and Morrowa are all good at scoring than me. Since that's the case, why do I still compete with reality?"

After winning the Cavaliers, the Warriors raised their winning streak to 9 games. The team's internal running-in was very smooth. Iverson's arrival had no big impact on the team. The main reason was that the answer had changed a lot for the team. Although he made a lot of moves, it was much less than before. In addition, even if the playing time was only twenty or thirty minutes, he would not complain.

"Everything is for victory, everything is for the championship. That's what our team thinks now. All of us are trying to get the strength of one place. Old Tang is working hard to tie our twelve guys together. I am looking forward to the day of success. Now we are not the strongest time." Iverson said with a smile when participating in the famous local "You Talk Show" in San Francisco.

After playing against the Cavaliers, the Warriors fought back against the Timberwolves and Rockets, and mentioned the winning streak to the 1st game. The first best week in December was given to Chamberlain again, but the best week in the Eastern Conference was still James. After losing to the Warriors, the Cavaliers went back to defeat the Rockets without McGrady and the now extremely distressing Knicks.

The Knicks are determined to sign James. Now, all the news has become their help from the New York media to sign James, and this game is no exception.

Because he lost to Chamberlain and the Warriors, James was very angry and won the Rockets. He was even more fire-powered when he played against the Knicks. Facing the Knicks, who had almost no defense, he made 17 of 2 shots and 10 free throws, scoring a season-high 6 points, and also had 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

New York fans don't care about the team's defeat. Just the team's virtue now, it's strange that they win.

James's brave performance was regarded as the Little Emperor's letter of vote by New York fans. The reporters asked the questioners proudly: "Why did LeBron stop when he scored 3 points when he played other teams, and he must score 6 points when he hit us? He is showing us muscles and telling us to get him quickly, he has the ability to lead our team to be reborn!"

New York fans are also convinced of this, so when the Cavaliers and the Knicks were fighting together, many New York fans held pictorials in their hands, which read words such as "New York welcomes you, E∫", "This is your palace, our emperor", and "Big Apple City needs you, LeBron". Shocking jerseys appeared on the scene. These jerseys were obviously the Knicks' logo, but LB was written on the back, and the number was also No. 2.

The Knicks players finally found a reason for their failure, complaining: "Even at home, we don't feel like home, you all see, damn, those fans one-sidedly support their opponents instead of us, which makes us feel unhappy."

James did not respond to the New York media's outrage. He even swears in New York during an interview with The Cleveland Honesty Man, saying, "Which bastard is the bastard who raises a bastard who spreads rumors that I want to go to New York? I won't go to New York. It's a big city, but I just won't go. What's going there? At least there is Xiao Mo in Cleveland, and that city with a lot of money? Haha, Marbury is leaving, right?"

New York fans are now possessed, they are completely trapped in the devil. James said so, but they still don’t give up and said firmly: “This is called repairing the plank road and secretly traveling to Chen Cang. Before going to a team, no player will foolishly express his purpose directly, but we know LeBron’s intentions. E New York is ready to ask you to ascend the throne.”

Many experts also swear: "We don't have strong helpers now. Yes, it's true, but 8pE is coming soon. It's undoubtedly his future belongs to Big Apple City."
