Two Hundred and Forty-Nine: [The Aloof Young King]

"It's hard to believe that the ball was passed by Milicic... He actually had a flash of inspiration, and it was a pass with his left hand." ESPN's McBrin marveled: "Whether it is skill or timing The control, and the finish behind the pass at the last moment remind me of Pau Gasol or Divac back then."

"In fact, his draft template that year was Nowitzki plus Kevin Garnett. Don Nelson was even punished by the league for going to Europe to watch his game." Reggie Miller said: "But so what What? He can only be called a qualified defensive center now. Under the guidance of Larry Brown, he has completed weight gain, and his athletic ability has been greatly reduced. Probably driving the ball like he showed in the draft tapes, finishing the pass like a point guard. The occasional flash of inspiration doesn't change anything."

"If you don't regard him as the No. 2 of the 03 generation, he is actually not that bad." Bill Wharton said.

Reggie Miller and Bill Walton did not change their views on Milicic because of this pass.

But McBrin whispered: "Actually...he is only 23 years old. He is younger than LeBron James."

At this time, the game continued.

The Cavaliers have consciously controlled the frequency of Shaq'er O'Neal's singles. Now everyone knows that Shaq's physical fitness can only maintain efficient output for 20 minutes. Once this playing time is exceeded, his obese body will slow down the offensive and defensive rhythm of the entire team. collapse.

When the Sharks stopped isolating, LeBron James took over the game. He starts hitting the paint...Galinari's defense is like a thin sheet of paper to him, and it's easy to destroy it with a light push.

But when he rushed straight into the paint on the first round, Milicic directly hugged him from the air.

This made him realize that something was wrong. When he played against Milicic before, he rarely had such a firm look in his eyes.

Swish! boom!

Two free throws were made, the rebound was picked off by Duger, and he launched a fierce and fast offensive in an instant.

When he got off to a quick start, the Knicks picked up the tempo.

At this time, D'Antoni once again saw the surprising side of Milicic. Although he completed the weight gain, he still moved faster than the center player. At seven feet tall, he has the coordination of a guard.

This allowed him to quickly take the lead. When Doug reached the three-point line, his footsteps also broke into the paint. Immediately, Doug stuffed the basketball into the penalty area.

He caught the ball and jumped directly into the basket, feinted a shot, LeBron James flew up from behind him, he shook his left hand, and the basketball was delivered to the bottom corner. Gallinari fired precisely... Shua!

Basketball hit.

Milicic's extremely patient style of play made Duger give a thumbs up.

Subsequently, LeBron James still forced the basket and hit a layup with a backhand.

When the team's two flanks are all paper, it is impossible for Milicic to defend every attack... This is not something that can be changed. After all, LeBron James is not an idler.

Subsequently, Doug continued to increase the tempo.

O'Neal was quickly thrown out of the rhythm.

But sadly... the Knicks' three shooters are all in cold hands.

This prevented the Knicks from taking the lead despite taking the tactical initiative.

The first quarter ended quickly, at 28:27, the Cavaliers in the away game led by 1 point.

Next, the Knicks will be more passive. Because Milicic, who played miraculously in the first quarter, must return to the bench, his physical reserves are not much better than Shaq'er O'Neal, and his consumption is far greater than that of O'Neal.

"Good job." D'Antoni took the initiative to praise Milicic on the bench, and he has decided to put the Serb in the rotation list.

Subsequently, he announced that Zach Randolph, David Lee, Jeffries, Stephen Novak and Chris Duhon would play in transition.

This is a customary rule in the NBA. Teams generally change to a rotation lineup at the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter to allow the main players to rest.

But tonight, Mike Brown clearly didn't want to play by the rules.

He just took off Shaquille O'Neal and put on Ilgauskas.

LeBron James and other main players are all there.

Because in his eyes, there is no need to entangle with the Knicks for too long, if they can be sent to garbage time in two quarters, they will never be delayed until the third quarter.

This arrogance props them up for a quick fight.

And when the game started, things did develop as they imagined. LeBron James is a map of Pingchuan. Although Jeffries, who defends him, can be regarded as half a defensive champion, there is no player in today's league who can defend LeBron James one-on-one.

Coupled with the Knicks' sparse defensive system, LeBron James can get anything he wants in the first five minutes.

The Cavaliers took a double-digit lead almost instantly.

This makes the MVP voice of Madison Garden even more intense.

Duge Ting's brows were tightly frowned, he felt extremely depressed about this kind of 'surrender to the enemy'. But the teammates sitting next to him seem to have accepted this setting.

"I want to play!"

At the fifth minute and fourteenth of the second quarter, Doug took the initiative to walk to D'Antoni's side. At this time, LeBron James had just hit a three-pointer to widen the point difference to 12 points.

He proudly stretched out three fingers, and the audience shouted MVP.

This gave him an extremely strong pleasure, as if he had really completed his enthronement here.

Then he took a special look at Doug, his eyes full of superiority. He never cared about Duge's nickname, he felt that "Duke" was born to reflect himself. But when he heard the news that Isaiah Thomas even compared Snoopy to himself, he immediately felt strongly offended. Therefore, when a New York reporter asked him what he thought of Thomas' remarks, he directly threw out a response that was not a player of the same level.

Moreover, before going on the field, he had already decided to kill the majesty of the 'Duke' tonight, to let him know the majesty of the 'King'.

Unfortunately, there has been no opportunity for direct dialogue.

beep!

D'Antoni agreed to Doug's request. Doug quickly walked to the technical table, and after being confirmed by the statistician, he quickly walked onto the court to replace David Lee.

This is D'Antoni's arrangement. He hopes that Doug can strengthen his defense and limit LeBron James' breakthrough kills.

Doug sent the ball to Chris Duhon, and the two walked upfield side by side.

Immediately, Doug walked into the paint area, and Chris Duhon stayed in the outside organization.

He's not a sharp point guard, he mechanically runs a pick-and-roll with Zach Randolph on the playbook, then hands the ball to Jeffries, who forces a shot... BOOM!

Basketball missed.

LeBron James immediately turned around and tried to grab the rebound.

However, when he walked into the paint, Doug turned his back and stuck him directly behind him. The powerful static force even LeBron James failed to gain the upper hand.

He could only watch Zach Randolph take off quickly under the defense of Ilgauskas, first use his left hand to point the basketball to the basket, then use his right hand to make up for it after falling, and finally use both hands to touch the basketball put in.

One offense, two points and three offensive rebounds.

This is Zach Randolph's box-pressing stunt.

Soon, LeBron James took the ball to the frontcourt.

He glanced at the positioning of the players on both sides, although Doug had already reached the penalty area.

But he still decided to break through.

Ilgauskas immediately went beyond the three-point line to complete a solid pick-and-roll for him, and then he rushed to the basket with unstoppable momentum.

When he charged aggressively, there was even a biting sound of wind.

No one wants to confront him head-on, even Yao Huang has publicly declared in the media: "Being hit by LeBron James is no different from being hit by a train. No one wants to be hit by a normal defense." Ribs, even career reimbursement!"

Yao Huang's words were exaggerated, but indeed very few people would be willing to bear the thunderous impact of the 'king'!

but.

this time.

His Excellency the Duke stood under the basket with a bright gaze.

He is waiting for the arrival of LeBron James!

...

[Speak and do it, the third one will be delivered. PS, if the monthly pass reaches 930 before twelve o'clock. Tomorrow will continue three more! And promise to complete it before twelve o'clock in the evening! ! 】
