Chapter 65 King unilaterally beats another King (1/3)
The warm-up is over, the idle guys are waiting for the end, the starter takes off his clothes, and the game is about to begin.
The Knicks' starting lineups are James, Houston, Van Horn, Cott Thomas and Mutombo.
A lineup that is very distorted to James.
The Knicks obviously haven't opened the correct James manual yet, but their outside line unexpectedly adapted to James.
Houston and Van Horn are both excellent catchers, but unfortunately, the existence of Thomas and Mutombo fills the space in the penalty area.
Even if Lei Balong has the ability to swallow the sky, it is difficult for him to create opportunities in the crowd to feed the outside shooters.
The players on both sides walked to the center circle, the referee threw the ball, and O'Neal Jr. jumped the ball and succeeded.
Xie Hou received the ball and James leaned on it. He really wanted to compete with Xie Hou.
204 cm vs 203 cm;
102 kg vs 109 kg;
224 wingspan vs. 214 wingspan;
Top physical fitness versus historical level physical fitness;
Average of 27108 vs. Average of 2155;
23 years old vs 19 years old.
Judging from the above data, Xie Hou only has negligible height advantages, obvious wingspan advantages and age advantages. When these advantages are realized in the game, they are the gap in their data.
Xie Hou looks like a famous superstar, while James is a super rookie with quasi-All-star combat power.
James was not as strong as a 19-year-old man. Xie Hou controlled the ball steadily. Suddenly, the chosen son in front of him took pressure to defend.
Taking the initiative to put pressure is one of the defensive methods that any excellent defender will master.
It's just that the real top defenders won't do that at the start.
Xie Hou dribbled the ball with his left hand, and the ball flew out of his crotch like a whale jumping out of the water, popped out from the other side, landed on his right hand, accelerated and started, and the amazing destructive power teared open James's defense line-"Kinger Arthur is really well-deserved!" Mike Brin screamed-Xie Hou broke into the penalty area, facing the Knicks' elite inside group, Thomas' assisted defense, Mutombo blocked the sky, he held the ball with both hands, jumped with one foot, and made countless adjustments in the air to ensure that the cover was avoided, and then slowly threw the ball from bottom to top.
The ball flew up and hit the board.
2 to 0
"The Knicks' most proudest defense in the penalty area was actually beaten by Arthur in the first round of the game!"
Xie Hou ran past James with a plain smile on his face.
The audience at the scene did not realize that this was the first matchup between two future superstars with James as the template.
Because the Knicks' inside line has no ability to shoot, James can only call the pick-and-roll and get one of them up.
This is also their favorite cooperation.
Thomas is definitely a well-known hero. His personal temperament is different from that of the increasingly entertaining Knicks. He is the kind of player needed by a strong team. Even if his style does not match James, they cooperate very happily.
Since Thomas can only end the pick-and-roll and not open the shooter, James basically went out with a pick-and-roll.
Thomas used all his muscles to knock Kirirenko away and made a shooting foul.
Thomas made both free throws, 2-2.
"Andre, you really deserve to gain weight."
Xie Hou said to Kirilenko, and the Russians agreed, and then continued to verbally promise to gain weight, but actually a pound of meat did not rise.
Kirilenko is definitely a very talented defender and a rare all-round warrior in history, but his resistance to weight gain also destined to be able to eat his youth.
Time will give you athletic talent, and time will also take away athletic talent.
Without athletic talent, all we have is height and wingspan, strength, experience and skills. If we play with talent alone, we will inevitably not be able to go long-term.
Xie Hou can't see this level yet. He just can't see that Kirirenko always appears in the most correct position, but he is forced to eat or foul because he lacks a few kilograms of meat or causes a foul.
Xie Hou stared at James in front of him. He was really strong. He was so young and had such a physical dimension. He was the most powerful among young players he had seen (only referring to the body).
King Arthur directed his teammates to run like a marshal, and he didn't seem to want to play singles.
"I'm waiting, come again!" James wanted to use his trash words to influence Xie Hou's judgment.
Kirilianko escaped, O'Neal Jr. picked and rolled the side, Miller ran, Artest was ready to come and get the ball - at this moment, Kirilianko, who had covered Miller, stole an opportunity to cut in without a hundred. There was only a little space for him to cut in, and there was only one route that could make Xie Hou pass the ball. If he hesitated, or Xie Hou did not make a quick decision, this opportunity would disappear instantly
The victory or defeat was only in an instant. Xie Hou, who was carrying the ball, suddenly picked up the ball on the ground and threw it out of the opponent's head as if he was about to punch James.
“!!!”
"oh my~~~~~" Mike Bryn pulled the long voice, and Xie Hou's pass penetrated the Knicks' defense like a laser gun fire, landing in Kirilenko's hands, and the Russians scored under the basket. "god!!!"
In the front row, a star excitedly asked his friend around him: "Did you see the action just now?"
"Crazy!" cried his fellow companions, "It's so crazy!"
Compared to James's proper behavior, Xie Hou snatched the attention of everyone at the audience when he came up, and he was determined to prove himself.
No trash talk.
Shehou was calmer than James imagined. He was so calm when he played exciting moments in succession.
James wanted to defeat Xie Hou, but he decided to use tooth to break through his defense first with a breakthrough.
A weight of 109 kg will play a key role.
Xie Hou opened his hands and took a semi-retreat approach. James is a very good newcomer and a typical cornerstone player, but he is too young after all and has a lot of things to be polished.
His mid-range shot still needs to be developed, and his offensive performance at the free throw line position is very difficult, which is intuitively reflected in the scout report.
Therefore, when Xie Hou let him go one meter, he did not have the determination to shoot because his mid-range shot was unstable, and Xie Hou's arm span could easily interfere with it.
He wanted to break through but now he couldn't open the space and could only pass the ball to the shooters.
Alan Houston made a three-pointer and made a blacksmith.
Xie Hou received the long rebound and was about to fight back, but James' foul made him stop.
Less than two minutes into the game, everyone saw the problem.
The showdown between Shehou and James is the biggest gimmick in this game and the biggest problem.
This problem is that it is regarded as a gimmick and is considered to be a confrontation between the two people in contemporary magic birds, that is, the combat power is not at the same level at all.
Xie Hou is already the middle value between stars and superstars, and what needs stability is (if someone thinks that the average average of 27,108 is not stable enough), he should be compared with the famous superstars, rather than James who is still adapting to the NBA intensity.
"You look very excited tonight," Kirilenko said as she serves for Shehou.
Xie Hou asked back: "Is it so obvious?"
The ball was sent out, and the Russian ran and said, "You even forgot to glar at the stars on the sidelines. What do you think?"
So Xie Hou immediately glanced at a blonde beauty next to him, proving that he was not so excited.
Xie Hou dribbled in front of James and looked very calm.
James knew he was at a disadvantage and he wanted to use all means to change the decline in front of him.
A face-to-face steal may change the status quo?
He imagined how sensation the garden would be when he steals Xie Hou and fight back to the frontcourt to pull out a horizontal flat basket to the battle axe buckle.
That will surely be an unforgettable moment.
James took a deep breath, and Xie Hou was about to launch an attack. He could feel that although he didn't care about tonight's duel on the surface, he cared more than anyone else.
James had already seen that this was a man who was very self-reliant and did not even accept that the two of them were on the same side.
The chosen son thought he was self-righteous and determined that he had captured Xie Hou's dribbling trajectory and suddenly made a move to intercept the ball.
As a result, Xie Hou even had no change in the rhythm, height and speed of the dribble. He only relied on a horizontally parallel back change to shake James, who was preparing to steal, to the side, creating an absolute opportunity for open space.
James couldn't help but humming when he heard King Arthur's affection - how disdain this bastard was about him - he rushed out in anger, and Xie Hou happened to make a three-pointer.
"Beep!"
"This is a three-point foul!"
"This arc..."
James stared at the ball in the sky, and Xie Hou sat on the ground to see how the ball flew into the basket smoothly.
"Swish!"
“holi sh/it!”
The audience scolded each other. What annoyed the New Yorkers was not Xie Hou hitting 31, but they were looking forward to the king for a whole month.
"Didn't you still fucking the three-pointer just now?" Miller was so excited that he came over and pulled Xie Hou up.
"Hey, a great player is the more difficult the shooting is, the more he can make a shot. There is no way, it's as great as me..." Xie Hou boasted that he was pushed to the free throw line by Miller before he could finish the final.
He slapped the ball and listened to the booing in the garden.
No matter where the fans are, the boos are almost the same.
Nothing different.
"Swish!"
"Arthur completed a four-pointer!"
8 to 2
The scores were almost the same, but James was obviously stunned by Xie Hou.
Although Knicks' head coach Don Cheney is a waste, he is a waste who can see his eyes. He knows that he must ask for a timeout to adjust the matchup on the court.
Two minutes into the game, Xie Hou's performance of 6 points and 1 assist stopped the Knicks.
At least from now on, he will not hear any comparisons about him and Lei Balong for the time being.
In the past two minutes, he proved that the younger generation had only one king.
"Arthur, I know this game tonight is of great significance to you, but I don't want you to do the same thing throughout the game." Claire doesn't want Xie Hou to only reflect his personal offensive ability tonight.
Xie Hou nodded and said yes, and then the pause ended.
Chapter completed!
