Chapter 58 James, I...my mentality is broken! King Nuo Tian breaks out of his cocoon?
"Su, look, look at the big screen!"
"Fake, you didn't expect that the scene you expected actually happened?"
On the bench of the Warriors, Su Bai glanced at his naive teammates, and then looked at the big screen with interest.
Because at this time, the big screen is showing James a close-up!
Unlike the domineering and arrogant people in the past, James looked very pitiful, weak and helpless at this moment, just sitting on the bench silently chewing his fingernails.
In fact, it didn't matter at first. The key is that the Warriors had thought about this scene in advance in the locker room, but they didn't expect it to actually happen!
In fact, it’s not James’ fault. Anyone else who went through what he did tonight would be depressed.
At the same time, after laughing at James, everyone in the Warriors labeled Su Bai as 'dangerous'.
From the media campaign, to the videos and GIFs on the forum, to the discussion on how to encircle and suppress James, force James to walk, and the final walking gesture, it was all planned by Su Bai!
It's really a one-stop service - you won't be depressed.
In the past, no one on the Warriors had any concrete idea of how smart the Chinese were, but now...
At least they knew very well that with their IQs, they would be the kind of people who would help him count the money after being sold by Su Bai!
96 to 114.
When the timer runs out, the score is finalized.
The Warriors successfully defeated the invading Cavaliers to avoid a losing streak, improving their record to 3 wins and 1 loss, and giving the Cavaliers two consecutive losses.
On this night, James' offensive desire was down. It was very rare that he only took 10 shots and scored 13 points.
To be honest, there is nothing James can do. Every time he breaks through, he has to endure the "walking" sound. The psychological pressure is really extraordinary.
But James is also really good. In addition, he also contributed 15 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 blocks, easily achieving a triple-double!
If James' teammates weren't so bad and the Warriors were in good shape tonight, the Cavaliers might really have captured the Oracle Arena tonight!
As for Su Bai, in the face of unintentional offense and excessive energy on the defensive end, James' performance was also remarkable. He made 8 of 11 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. He efficiently scored 20 points and 4 rebounds.
At the end of the game, James obviously didn't adjust and looked a little depressed.
Originally, I wanted to give Su Bai some good looks, but it turned out that although he had the advantage in terms of comprehensiveness, Su Bai's scoring efficiency was much higher than him, and the Warriors won the game!
On the other side, Su Bai felt a little excited.
Winning the game is one thing, but more important is planting a seed in James' heart.
That's even more important than winning the game!
"Su, your performance tonight was great. It's not easy for a rookie to be like you."
Under the camera, James, who was hugging Su Bai, tried to adjust his expression, smiled and encouraged Su Bai.
"Your performance tonight was also great, phenomenal."
James twitched his lips after listening to Su Bai's words.
Su Bai was sincere when he said this, but James always felt that something was wrong...
At the post-game press conference, Nelson led Baron Davis, who scored 29 points and 10 assists, and Stephen Jackson, who scored 23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
But no one thought that Su Bai would be mentioned the most during the press conference.
"Su's defense against James tonight was phenomenal. He made a great contribution to our victory tonight!"
"Su is so smart. It's a pleasure to work with a player like Su."
"Well, the walking gesture towards James at the beginning was really a spur-of-the-moment move. There was really no plan in advance."
…
After the game, Warriors fans were very excited.
Although James was clearly out of form tonight, the Cavaliers were the Eastern Conference champions last season and were the ones to reach the finals!
Winning against such a team doesn't mean that the Warriors are already very good, but it at least shows that their recent state is really good.
In comparison, fans in China are even more excited, because in addition to the Warriors, Mosaic and Bucks also have games tonight.
The most important thing is that they all win!
Among them, Yao Ming's performance is undoubtedly the best.
Not only did he score 28 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks, he also suppressed Duncan to only 14 points on 5-of-15 shooting. He was the biggest contributor to Mosaic's victory over the defending champion Spurs.
Yi Jianlian's performance was also quite impressive, scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks!
Chinese fans are really as happy as the Chinese New Year.
With these three people here, plus Sun Yue and Dazhi, next year's Imperial Capital Olympics will be worth looking forward to!
However, Mosaic defeated the defending champion Spurs and the Warriors defeated the overall runner-up Cavaliers. Some Chinese fans have already begun to worry about which team to support if the two teams meet in the playoffs.
…
"Don't worry, LeBron, I've taken care of it. You will definitely not see any news you don't want to see in some well-known newspapers tomorrow." Agent Leon Rose sent a message to James.
"good."
After replying the message, James finally felt a little more relaxed and put on an eye mask.
Tomorrow night, he will challenge the powerful Jazz in the Western Conference back-to-back in Salt Lake City, so he must regain his strength quickly.
However, James couldn't fall asleep quickly.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see five people circling around him with their fists, and someone was shouting,
"Walk!" "Walk!" "Walk!"
Two lines of clear tears flashed from the corner of James's eyes. Damn it, I'm so depressed!
…
"Su, the Mavericks are coming tomorrow, what bad idea do you have...
No, do you have any good ways to make us more likely to win?"
On the 7th, in the locker room, Stephen Jackson put his arm around Su Bai's shoulders and said.
Baron Davis also came over, "Yes, if you have any ideas, just tell me, you have a good mind!"
"That's right, Su, just say it and we will do it!"
"Yeah, fuck Maverick!"
Su Bai blinked, feeling a little strange.
No, didn't he just come up with an idea? Why does it feel like he has become the brains trust of this group of Golden State Gangsters?
Moreover, weren't they the Mavericks who were ranked eighth last season?
It’s not like you are the shady people?
Why do you still want to fuck a human calf?
When plucking wool, you can’t just point at one end, right?
I don’t know whether he saw Su Bai’s doubts or it was just a coincidence. Baron Davis explained, “In fact, the guys from the Mavericks team who were beaten by us last season shouted that they want us to look good this season. This is not because we don’t want them.
Successful revenge!"
Su Bai thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
It is estimated that in the eyes of this group of gangsters, Black Eight Mavericks is the peak moment of their lives, so if they have the opportunity, they will definitely want to fuck Mavericks again.
only……
Su Bai doesn't know this Mavericks team as well as James.
Su Bai thought for a moment and said seriously, "The Mavericks are, after all, the place where Coach Nelson has stayed for so many years. There must be feelings there. I don't think it's convenient for me to make any suggestions!"
"to be honest!"
"I'm not as familiar with the Mavericks as Coach Nelson...
Why do you listen to the coach..."
…
"Calf?"
Having said that, that night, Su Bai picked up the Mavericks information prepared by Flynn and studied it, and then set his sights on Nowitzki.
This period should be regarded as the darkest moment in the life of this German tank, right?
Su Bai couldn't help but think of it.
The MVP of the regular season, the number one record in the Western Conference, was criticized by the media as a "softie". It can be said that the damage this Warriors team has caused to this German tank is really too great!
Well, by the way, Heiba's opponent's coach is still his former mentor, the person closest to him and the person who understands him best...
This feeling is equivalent to being stabbed in the heart, and the person holding the knife is still my mentor!
Su Bai knew more about the story behind the previous life, that is, Nowitzki did not sink, but worked hard to practice low-post skills, especially practicing the Golden Rooster independently to the point of ignoring defense.
Then a few years later, when everyone was not optimistic about it, they swept the Lakers and ended their dream of three consecutive championships. They stepped on the Thunder's three young players and entered the finals. Finally, they counterattacked and killed the Heat's three giants. King Nuo Tianwang became a god in one battle!
Defeating the Lakers before and crushing the Heat later, Nowitzki can be said to have defeated two dynasties with one championship. He is really awesome!
But having said that, at this time, Nowitzki's low post skills have not yet been developed, and with Nelson's understanding of him, Su Bai knows that Nowitzki definitely wants to join the Warriors, but he may not really be able to play at a dominant level.
The performance completes the revenge!
As for Su Bai, he felt that what he had to do was learn how to deal with Nowitzki.
Although it seems a bit cruel to do Nowitzki now, the Germany where Nowitzki will be in next summer's Imperial Capital Olympics is also a strong European team.
King Nuotian, I'm sorry.
…
"You want to learn how to guard Nowitzki?"
On the morning of the 8th, Stephen Jackson looked at Su Bai with some confusion and said.
Su Bai nodded, "I admire your defense against Nowitzki a few months ago. It can be said to be a textbook level of small defense and big defense!
If I remember correctly, in the first game you defended Nowitzki to 4 of 16, and in the sixth game, you defended him to 2 of 13. The shooting percentage in the entire series was less than 40%. Nowitzki's routine
The game MVP was completely blocked by you!
You are amazing!"
Stephen Jackson couldn't help but feel a little carried away by Su Bai's compliment, but he still said modestly,
"I can't say that. In fact, other teammates also gave me a lot of help.
By the way, since you want to learn so much, there's nothing I can't teach you.
Facing Nowitzki, the most important thing is to block his bottom line..."
Although Stephen Jackson looks very violent in the eyes of many fans because of the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
But actually he was standing up for his teammates.
After getting along with each other for so many days, Su Bai discovered that Stephen Jackson was really a good teammate and very warm-hearted, so it was not surprising that he agreed to his request!
In addition to explaining the points to note, Stephen Jackson also took Su Bai to the court to practice with Su Bai on the spot, which was really considerate.
…
That night, in the locker room before the game, the Warriors players put away their usual smiles and looked a little fierce.
When they said they wanted to join the Mavericks before, they were really not joking, they were really ready to take action.
They don't care about many games, but when they play against the Mavericks, they are really excited!
On the other side, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was also a bit tense.
It was here a few months ago that they fell!
But tonight, they will definitely leave standing!
You must know that with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses in the regular season, they were the favorites to win the championship last year!
As a result, who knew, it would become the most legendary background of the Warriors' Black Eight.
To this day, they can still feel the pain that goes deep into their bones!
Especially Nowitzki. After that battle, the reputation of "softie" was completely attached to him, and it can't be shaken off!
For example, Nowitzki even felt ironic when he went to receive the regular season MVP award, and he didn't even know what he said in his acceptance speech.
Just as the Mavericks were getting ready to go on the court to warm up, the Mavericks head coach ‘Little General’ Avery Johnson walked in!
"Hey guys, ready to fight?"
"That's right, it's not a competition, it's a battle!"
"Those guys brought us humiliation a few months ago, and tonight, we will pay it back!"
"This is their territory!"
"And we just want to defeat them on their territory!"
"The Mavericks must win!"
After Avery Johnson shouted the last sentence, the anger in the hearts of everyone in the Mavericks team was completely ignited, and they roared:
"The Mavericks must win!"
Avery Johnson, this completely aroused the emotions of the Mavericks players.
Avery Johnson is nicknamed "Little General" because of his leadership skills and his speeches are extremely contagious!
…
“The Mavericks team looks really fierce over there!”
When Sean Williams was shooting in warm-ups, he looked at the Mavericks players in the opposite half and couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"Hey, don't be afraid, rookie, our men are just defeated." Stephen Jackson patted Sean Williams on the shoulder and said.
Stephen Jackson is not only affectionate towards Su Bai Gudao, but also takes good care of the rookie Sean Williams.
In the Sina live broadcast room, Director Zhang happened to analyze at this time,
“Tonight’s game will definitely be exciting.
The Mavericks will definitely fight tooth and nail, and the Warriors will not give in easily."
In other words, he feels that the two sides will definitely fight fiercely tonight!
Ke Fan swallowed subconsciously.
The game hasn't even started yet, but he seems to be able to see the smell of gunpowder from both sides facing each other!
The live comment area is also very lively.
"Hey, Su Bai's game is finally broadcast live. I didn't expect it to be a focus game. How lucky!!!"
"Why do I still find the last game interesting? The scene of the five Warriors players spinning around with James' fists really made me laugh to death!"
"Hahaha, me too, I feel like James's face is turning green, but his walk is too exaggerated, he deserves to be praised!"
"Brothers, don't go sideways! You're going to hit the calf!"
The rest of the Warriors team will definitely feel like they’ve been beaten to death tonight, and I don’t know what will happen to Su Bai!”
"Don't worry, big brother upstairs, Su Bai never loses control at critical moments!"
…
Soon, the opening ceremony began on the court.
Without any surprise, the crowd was filled with boos when the Mavericks came out.
In the playoffs a few months ago, the two sides really fought hard!
At this moment, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.
Mavericks: JJ Barea, Devin Harris, Josh Howard, Nowitzki and Diop.
Warriors: Baron Davis, Ellis, Su Bai, Stephen Jackson and Harrington.
"beep!"
As the referee blew the whistle, Harrington beat Diop and gave the Warriors the opportunity to attack first.
The Warriors started trying to take advantage of the chaos to attack, but the Mavericks retreated very quickly. Baron Davis' layup failed after being assisted by the defense!
The two teams are so familiar with each other that there is no need to get familiar with the rhythm. It is a physical offensive and defensive battle!
Because of the presence of Diop, a 127-kilogram super human shield, the Mavericks advanced very slowly, and their offense waited until Diop was in position before attacking.
Although the Mavericks players were angry, they tried to remain patient!
The Mavericks' tactics during this period were singles tactics, or singles in turns!
For example, in the first attack, the Mavericks gave Devin Harris a single.
For the Warriors, Ellis' defense is recognized as the worst.
Harris lived up to expectations and effectively broke through Ellis' defense and reached the penalty area. Unfortunately, the emergency stop jumper missed due to Su Bai's assisting defense.
Compared to single defense, Su Bai now practices more assist defense and can be said to be the Warriors' fire-fighting expert!
But unfortunately, the Mavericks still won this time.
Because Diop, a big guy, immediately passed the ball to Harris after protecting the rebound. The latter made a small floater, 2-0, and the Mavericks took the lead!
Looking back, the Warriors quickly served and broke, and after a pick-and-roll between Baron Davis and Harrington, he passed the ball to the latter.
"Whoosh!"
Harrington easily hit an open three-pointer at a fixed spot, 2-3!
Diop, this ball was not followed at all.
To put it this way, Diop is equivalent to a poor version of O'Neal who doesn't attack. He can stay in the penalty area and protect the frame, but once he leaves the penalty area, it is difficult to defend him.
Harrington came on the court to try to pull Diop out of the penalty area - his three-pointers are the most accurate on the Warriors right now!
On the sidelines, coach Avery Johnson frowned slightly.
A few months ago, he was forced by the Warriors to change to a smaller lineup and then fell under the Warriors. Could the same scene happen again?
Soon, Avery Johnson frowned even more because Nowitzki's mid-range shot missed due to interference from Stephen Jackson!
Stephen Jackson really doesn't need to be too skilled in how to defend Kanowitzki and how to set up Kanowitzki.
Being so skilled makes people feel cruel!
Avery Johnson knew that Nowitzki went to see a psychiatrist this summer to become mentally stronger, and he also knew that Nowitzki began to practice hard on the low post to try to make up for his last shortcoming, but...
At present, it seems that it will take some time to see the effect.
At least, that's the case against Stephen Jackson's defense.
"Whoosh!"
On the court, Baron Davis stepped on the accelerator, quickly counterattacked and entered the Mavericks penalty area for a layup, 2-5.
What’s more, it’s Diop, this big guy can’t come back from fast breaks!
The only other defensive player on the Mavericks team, Josh Howard, was pretty good, but he was slipped by Su Bai.
When Baron Davis rushes forward, it's a good opportunity!
Looking back, Nowitzki continued to catch the ball in the high post for singles.
The old driver obviously didn't believe it.
In other words, Nowitzki knows that he must face the inner demon of Stephen Jackson and defeat him in order to truly "break out of the cocoon and turn into a butterfly", otherwise he will still be the "softie" who is criticized wildly by the media.
It's a pity that the old driver really didn't evolve successfully at this time and was stuck at the bottom by Stephen Jackson. This time Baron Davis even came to help defend!
Nowitzki told himself not to panic, but he couldn't help but be a little confused when he passed the ball.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, Su Bai accepted the gift from the veteran driver and completed the steal.
"Bang!"
After reaching the frontcourt, he hit Huashan with a domineering force, 2 to 7!
There were cheers and shouts, and towels were flying on the Warriors bench.
"The Warriors started in great shape tonight!" Director Zhang couldn't help but explain.
Well... not being anxious in tonight's game is definitely not a problem in his analysis. It's because the Warriors are on fire today.
On the court, the veteran driver who had a poor start showed no signs of cowardice or retreat in his eyes, but was full of determination.
He secretly clenched his fists.
"I can!"
"I can!"
