Chapter 213

As a team that has just completed a big deal and needs to run in the team, the nets played a good performance in the first quarter and matched the Cavaliers.

After the first quarter, the Cavaliers were only one point ahead of the basketball nets.

Before coming back in the second quarter, James grabbed Paul and said he wanted him to play harder in front of Kidd. In the first quarter, Kidd bullied Paul by using his experience. After all, one is a novice, and the other is a long-standing legendary point guard. Paul was still a little impatient against Kidd.

Paul nodded, and then the two exchanged questions about their cooperation.

After talking to Paul, James talked to Tony Allen again, because Allen's defender was Carter, who was not an easy opponent. In the first quarter, Carter used his body, experience and bounce to hit Tony Allen.

Tony Allen's importance in the Cavaliers' defense system is gradually increasing. Many times, the opponent's scoring arrows need him to curb, so James has a lot of communication with him.

Among the four Cavaliers rookies Paul, Tony Allen, Ariza and Vallejo, Paul and Tony Allen are the fastest growing ones, because they get a lot of playing time in the team's starting lineup and have James around to communicate and guide at any time.

After the two of them, Valerio's growth is also good. He acts as a substitute for big Z in the interior and gets a lot of playing time. Moreover, his defense is better than big Z, or he plays more actively and passionately, so occasionally he can get a starting chance or two.

Ariza is the slowest growing player. He serves as a substitute for James. With James's strong physical quality and the Cavaliers' dependence on James, James's playing time is not as full as at the end of last season, but Ariza's replacement playing time is still not much, Sometimes Ariza even has to find some playing time on the bench of the point guard.

However, Ariza didn't complain about this. After all, he is a second round player who is very late in the draft. He can get good playing time in the first season of his career (this is good, compared with many other rounds in the league who can't even get playing time), He is still very satisfied, and James has always been good to him and often takes him to train together. He can also feel that he is steadily improving.

……

As soon as the second quarter game came up, James took the ball to Jefferson on the outside line. Jefferson was still James's bodyguard with a knife in his previous life. It was quite fate. James decided to send a three-point ball to this fate. The basketball crossed the tip of Jefferson's defensive finger and fell steadily into the net.

Looking back, Kidd took the ball to the outside line. When he saw Paul let him go, he also wanted to return a three-point ball to the Cavaliers. It was just a bang.

Kidd's three-point shot is still a little unreliable.

Randolph grabbed the backboard in the back court and handed it to James. James roared to the front court with the ball.

Carter ran fast after him.

Can Carter defend James' fast break? At the scene, a small basketball and tennis fan covered his nose with his hands and looked nervously.

But James obviously wanted to disappoint him. James quickly ran to the basket with the ball. After taking off, he felt a defender attack behind him. He took back the ball in the air, dodged Carter's chasing cover, and changed hands to send the basketball into the basket in the process of falling.

After hitting the ball, James broke his brakes a little after landing and rushed into the audience at the bottom line.

Although the fans booed James when he came out, when he rushed to the audience, they all stretched out their hands to shake hands with him. Well, it's really fragrant.

James bent down, reached out and patted his outstretched palm and returned to the court.

At this time, the Cavaliers were six points ahead of the nets.

The Nets coach Lawrence Frank wants to pause and rearrange the defensive strategy on the court.

But pausing back still doesn't seem to work.

Back on the court, Kidd hit the ground and passed to Jefferson. Jefferson couldn't make a jump shot under James's defense.

James broke through the inside line again. After encountering the bag clip, he passed the basketball to Tony Allen on the outside line to assist him in shooting a three-point ball.

Carter dunked successfully, but James scored three points against Jefferson's defense. Jefferson's defense was really weak in front of James.

The difference between the two sides was opened to 10 points for the first time.

However, Kidd stood up at this time. After pushing the ball, he quickly gave the ball to Clifford Robinson who slipped from the bottom line to the basket to assist him in layup and stabilize his position.

Back to Kidd, he made a contribution on the defensive end, stole Paul, and then immediately sent the ball to the front court. He passed the ball across the court to Carter, who rushed to the Cavaliers' basket. Carter took off, received the pass in the air, glided and dunked with a one handed windmill.

This time, the counterattack of the basketball and nets team was really wonderful. The home fans blew up at once, and the cheers reached the highest point, although the basketball and nets team was still the backward side at this time.

But Kidd's steals and passing, Carter's violent and aesthetic dunk are really beautiful.

This goal will undoubtedly become one of today's top five goals.

The morale of the nets was also improved by this goal, and they played more actively on the court.

Sometimes it is like this. An attack and defense on the field can become a catalyst affecting the overall morale of the team. Wonderful cooperation can make the team burn up, and continuous failure can make the team morale low.

After the morale was improved, the nets scored one after another, and the two teams entered a stalemate.

This situation lasted until the last two minutes of the second quarter.

James took the ball, strong against Jefferson outside the three-point line. After passing Jefferson one step, four people under the basket of the basketball team attacked him, but he didn't pass the ball this time. One hit four, took off in the air and hit the board to send the basketball into the basket.

Looking back, when the nets attacked, Jefferson made a strong layup. James sent a nail board hat, took the basketball and rushed to the front court. Before Jefferson caught up to defend, he had stopped two steps outside the three-point line, and then pulled out his hand for three points.

Jefferson only had time to watch the basketball swing in the air and go towards the basket.

Brush, the basketball was steadily thrown into the net nest.

James shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, as if he were going crazy again today.
