Chapter 56 James covets the scoring title! Can Su Bai guard James?

"Hey, I must be the headline today, right?"

On November 3, in a Cleveland mansion, James couldn't wait to walk to the restaurant after waking up.

In the Cavaliers' opening game before, James and the others met the challenge from the Mavericks.

That night the Mavericks seemed to go crazy attacking the Cavaliers.

James was a little confused at that time.

Fuck, last year your team was a warrior, not our knight!

Besides, it was the Warriors who stole the show in the opening game, and it has nothing to do with us Cavaliers, okay?!

But it was no use shouting at James's throat. That night, the Mavericks' Eddie Jones was pestering him crazily, with Diop's super human shield blocking him inside, making him extremely uncomfortable.

In the end, James reluctantly handed over a poor answer of 2 out of 13 and 6 mistakes.

Fortunately, he was very smart and bravely attacked the penalty area, scoring 6 free throws and scoring 10 points. Otherwise, the data would be even more ugly.

After the game, James was very pleased because Zydrunas Ilgauskas, nicknamed "Big Z", took the initiative to take the blame.

"I failed to take advantage on the offensive end and lead my opponent out of the penalty area. I am entirely responsible for losing tonight!"

To be fair, if it weren't for Big Z's 20 points on 9-of-14 shooting tonight and 18 rebounds, the reporters would have really believed him!

However, those unhappy things are over!

Last night, facing the challenge of the Knicks, who had no defense inside, James regained his strength and rushed into the penalty area. He fought hard for 44 minutes, took 42 shots and scored 45 points!

In addition, James also received comprehensive statistics of 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

Therefore, James really can't wait to see how those experts praise himself in different ways!

"Um?"

But after picking up the newspaper, James couldn't help but frown, because...

The picture on the cover of the newspaper is not of him, but of the Chinese rookie who is very popular recently. It seems that his name is Su Lai?

As for the title, it made James feel a little angry: "ESPN believes that Su has locked up this season's scoring champion in advance?!"

You know, ESPN has always been his supporter and has always supported him to become the scoring leader this season.

Why are you suddenly supporting that Chinese rookie?

In fact, James really has some thoughts on the scoring champion.

Last season, he averaged 31.4 points per game, third in the league in points per game;

Last season he averaged 27.3 points per game, fourth in the league in points per game;

Therefore, it is not impossible for him to become the scoring champion this season.

As for Su Bai?

It’s not that James looks down on him, he’s a newbie and it’s better to keep a low profile.

The water in the NBA is very deep, and he's afraid that Su Bai won't be able to grasp it!

In his rookie season, he couldn't even see the taillights of the scoring champion's car. Su Bai must be even more impossible!

The ancient James can't remember clearly, but Chamberlain should have become the scoring champion in his rookie season. The modern Jordan James remembers that he scored more than 28 points in his rookie season, but he didn't win the scoring title.

So James knew this was completely impossible.

However, James fell silent after thinking of Su Bai's explosive performance that broke the NBA scoring record in his first game.

'Damn, that rookie doesn't really have such ambitions, does he?'

James looked through the team's schedule. Coincidentally, he will start a road trip to the Western Conference, and the second game will be against the Warriors!

'Hey, Su, let me inspect the goods next time we meet!'

At the same time, in Los Angeles, Kobe frowned when asked about Su Bai and the scoring champion.

“The scoring title is not something that a rookie can get his hands on!

He is overestimating his abilities!

You can bring my exact words to him, and I will let him know what the true strength of a scoring leader is when we play against each other next time!"

The reporters who were watching were all happy.

This black mamba took the bait!

…

"Su, let's go, next time, next time we will definitely win it back!"

On the night of November 3rd, at the Sleep Train Arena, Stephen Jackson hugged a somewhat unwilling Su Bai and said.

The Warriors just lost, back-to-back losses to the Kings.

Due to the schedule, the Warriors were a little weak here, and their three-point shooting was really bad tonight, with only 5 of 27 shots, so they had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill of failure.

On this night, Su Bai also felt the power of almost the top perimeter defense in the NBA, because he was facing against Artes who had not yet changed his name to Meta Walder Pease, well, that is Ci Shiping.

special.

There is no doubt about Artest's defensive ability during this period. He became the Defensive Player of the Year just a few seasons ago and has been on the All-Defensive Team for three consecutive years!

Moreover, during this period, Artest needed both body and technique, and he was recognized as the gateway to perimeter defense!

Su Bai was crushed under his hands.

Fortunately, although Su Bai was deflated, he was not elbowed open like Harden...

However, Su Bai also found a problem after self-reflection, that is, his offense was really not good enough when faced with this kind of defensive gate.

Before, Kirilenko and Su Bai thought it was okay because Kirilenko had to help defend the penalty area and consume energy, otherwise it would be difficult for Su Bai to get favors from him.

After this battle, Su Bai also stopped looking down on the NBA heroes. He is still far from being a top scorer!

After the game, Su Bai and his party flew directly back to San Francisco without staying in Sacramento. No one even mentioned going to a nightclub.

I’m really not in the mood!

Although those veterans are used to losing, they still feel unhappy after all.

…

"Whoa!"

"Bang!"

"Whoa!"

The next day, at four o'clock in the morning, Su Bai had already started training in the private training hall.

Su Bai's previous performance has gained a lot of trust from Nelson, but now it is still impossible to obtain unlimited iron rights under the current situation of the Warriors.

Therefore, Su Bai decided to continue to improve his catching and mid-range shooting abilities.

Now, his breakthrough is quite threatening. As long as he improves his ability to catch and shoot, his scoring will become more stable!

At the same time, his offense can also be more varied!

On the sidelines, masseur Merlin and physical trainer Wagner were chatting: "I feel that the details of Su's mid-range receiving and shooting are very good, but the shooting rate always seems to be a bit disappointing!"

Wagner nodded, looked at Su Bai on the court and said, "Yes, Su kept his hands on his chest waiting to catch the ball. There was no problem with his concentration. He also squatted down in advance to accumulate energy.

By the way, when catching the ball, the soles of the front feet touch the ground, and the heels of the back feet stand on tiptoe without landing...

Maybe, he really doesn’t have the talent in this area.”

In Wagner's view, Su Bai's body improved quickly and his defense was not bad. It is understandable that his shooting improved slowly. After all, even if Jordan came, he would have to master each skill slowly, right?

And everyone's talents are indeed different.

"Ta!" "Ta!" "Ta!"

From four o'clock to six o'clock, Su Bai practiced catching and shooting countless times. Sweat dripped down his chin and fell to the floor. However, he seemed to be just a little bit behind. He only needed to be a little bit behind.

Pierce the membrane that prevents him from becoming stronger.

At the top of the arc, shooting trainer De La Torre was actually a little tired, but seeing Su Bai once again running out of space and taking a catching posture, De La Torre subconsciously passed the ball over.

Su Bai, go forward and catch the basketball. No need to adjust, just kick off the ground quickly and take off!

At this moment, a prompt sounded in Su Bai's system.

【bite!】

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the ‘Catch and Shooter’ badge.]

[Catch and shoot hand (bronze ordinary, can be upgraded): slightly improve the stability and success rate of catch and shoot. 】

At this time, Su Bai finally felt like he had broken through the membrane, and the world suddenly became brighter!

Stay in the air, straighten your arms, shake your wrists!

The movements were extremely smooth for a moment!

The basketball also drew a beautiful arc and went straight to the basket!

"Whoa!"

Finally passed through the net!

"Eh..."

De La Torre couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Because although Su Bai could hit mid-range shots before, it was definitely not as smooth as this time!

De La Torre felt that something seemed different.

This guy suddenly mastered the trick?

"Come again!"

De La Torre shouted.

In fact, before he shouted, Su Bai, who seemed unaware of his fatigue, had already started running without the ball again.

"Shua——!"

"Shua——!"

"Shua——!"

"Shua——!"

"Shua——!"

Seeing the basketballs that Su Bai sent into the basket time and time again with his smooth movements, De La Torre's face was filled with ecstasy!

Finally! Su Bai has finally mastered the mid-range shooting technique!

That was not his illusion just now!

De La Torre knew very well that Su Bai would not be able to maintain such a terrifying hit rate when encountering strong confrontations in the game, but...

Now Su Bai's catching and mid-range shooting is definitely much better than before!

…

'Hey, Mr. Nelson is here so early too?'

Around 11 a.m. the next day, Smart, who was passing by the head coach's office, looked at the ajar door and couldn't help but think.

Because I just flew back from Sacramento last night, today's training won't start until 2 p.m.

After knocking on the door and getting permission from Nelson to enter the office, Smart looked at Nelson with a surprised expression.

"Don, what's wrong with you?"

Old Nelson first showed a puzzled expression on his face, then thought of something and trimmed his hair and said with a bitter smile,

“It wasn’t that damn game last night!

Even the king lost, we are still not stable enough!"

Smart looked at the postgame reports scattered in front of Nelson.

Not surprisingly, I found words such as "shooting stability", "inside" and "rebounds", but the most eye-catching ones were "Su" and "catch and shoot" marked with a red marker.

"Are you worried about Su's catching and shooting?" Smart asked tentatively.

Old Nelson nodded: "If Su doesn't practice catching and shooting for a day, the opponent can imitate Artest's defensive method of defending breakthroughs in the last game, and add an inside line to block the penalty area, and it will be difficult for Su to be efficient."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Smart to answer, Nelson smiled bitterly and said: "I know that the loss in the last game was not only related to Su, but I also know that it is a bit heavy to put the burden of the team's victory on Su's shoulders, but...

"

Nelson didn't say anything further, but Smart understood what his old boss was thinking.

Apart from Su Bai, he really had no one he could rely on.

Baron Davis is brave enough, but easy to get into trouble;

Ellis has no blind spots in the three-point line this season, and his shooting percentage is very high, but his finishing in the penalty area is a bit poor. The most important thing is that he has a height disadvantage and his upper limit is not high;

As for Stephen Jackson, that guy can only shoot three-pointers recently.

Therefore, the future of the team still depends on Su Bai!

Smart thought for a while, but couldn't think of any solution.

There are some skills that players say they can't practice, just because they can't practice them, and it's useless no matter how much they think about it.

Moreover, Old Nelson had mentioned it to Su Bai before about practicing catching and shooting, and even asked Mullin, the 'God's Left Hand', to teach Su Bai some tips. Now, he can only wait for Su Bai to practice by himself.

Out.

"Give that kid more patience."

Smart comforted.

Old Nelson could only nod, there was really no other way now.

The two of them chatted for a few more words, then walked out of the office and towards the restaurant in a depressed mood. After dinner, they had to continue practicing pass-and-cut tactics in the afternoon to improve their tacit understanding of the new tactics.

But soon, Nelson and Smart were stunned by the scene on the court.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Bang!" "Swish!"

Su Bai!

Practicing catching and shooting!

Although there is no specific statistics, these two coaches can obviously calculate that Su Bai's catch-and-shoot shooting percentage is significantly improved than before!

What's even more frightening is that they can feel from the rhythm and smoothness of Su Bai's catching and shooting that it's not because of Su Bai's good touch, but because this guy has really mastered the knack of catching and shooting!

As a coach who has been coaching in the NBA for so many years, Nelson has seen too many situations where he cannot master a skill after practicing it for a long time!

Old Nelson wasn't surprised when Su Bai's fixed-point mid-range shot came out. That thing was really nothing.

But catching and shooting is different. From preparation to shooting, the rhythm is very important.

It’s true that if you know how to do it, you will know it, and if you don’t know how to do it, you won’t know how to do it!

But the situation in front of us is obvious. Su Bai obviously knows how to do it!

Nelson and Smart looked at each other with surprise in their eyes!

Originally, they were still worried about Su Bai, but they didn't expect that Su Bai had already solved the problem on his own.

Old Nelson couldn't help but sigh once again: Su Zhen is God's gift to our Warriors!

“After Su stabilizes his catching and shooting skills, it’s time for him to improve his frame-attacking skills!

Should we practice throwing first, practice confrontation and then shoot, or avoid and then shoot..."

Seeing Nelson, who was talking excitedly and talking nonstop, Smart couldn't help but smile.

Is this still the famous old Nelson who used to pull his hair into a 'chicken nest'?

Those reporters will definitely be shocked if they find out!

…

"How is that possible!

How could it be possible for Su to master catching and shooting so quickly?"

That afternoon, during the tactical drill!

Every one of the Warriors players was shocked!

Only Nelson and Smart smiled and said nothing.

"Boy, did you practice extra at four o'clock in the morning again today?"

During a break in training, Stephen Jackson put his arm around Su Bai's shoulders and asked.

Su Bai nodded.

"Fake!"

Stephen Jackson couldn't help but screamed, "You are really a monster!"

However, after scolding Stephen Jackson, he couldn't help but say more, "But don't practice too hard, or you may hurt your body."

Su Bai chuckled, "It's okay, Coach Nelson arranged for team doctor John to check my body every day..."

"Fake!" Stephen Jackson couldn't help but scream again, "I forgot that you are now the golden pimple in the coach's eyes. How could he let you get hurt?!"

The two chatted for a while, and Stephen Jackson suddenly said with some worry, "We will play against the Cavaliers in two days..."

At this time, Baron Davis, who heard this sentence from the side, interrupted somewhat strangely, "Why, are you scared?"

Stephen Jackson rolled his eyes and said, "Although the Cavaliers reached the finals last season and are very strong, we are the Golden State Gang, and labor and management are afraid of them!"

"I'm worried that Su can't handle that monster James!"

Baron Davis also looked worried when he heard this.

They are indeed not afraid of the Cavaliers, nor are they afraid of James, but they have to admit that James is really a monster.

In the fourth season of his career, leading a bunch of rookie teammates to the finals is really not something that ordinary people can do!

Although many people have been passing on Duncan's words "the future is yours" this past summer and laughing at the Cavaliers' humiliation of being swept by the Spurs, the fact that the Cavaliers can reach the finals is really considered a success in the eyes of many people.

"Stephen, Byron, actually, I am still confident about defending James."

Listening to Su Bai's words, not only Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis, but also the rest of the Warriors looked at Su Bai with doubts.

Although they all privately say that James is a 'guy who only relies on his body to play', they know very well that the pervert can really solve most problems by relying only on his body!

Su Bai said he could guard against James, but they really didn't believe it!

"Of course, I need your help."

Su Bai continued.

He is not so arrogant as to think he can guard James on his own.

Then, Su Bai said some of his thoughts, and the guys from the Warriors all laughed evilly.

"Hahaha!

You bad guy!

I have already thought of James sitting on the sidelines depressed and biting his nails!"

…
Chapter completed!
