Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 419 Rookie, welcome to the NBA

Wang Hao is also looking forward to today's game.

He is looking forward to taking a look at the young James, isn't there something special about the young James?

Well, let him down.

Still a towering hairline, still a dull face, and shocking nasolabial folds.

Well, James really doesn't have childhood.

Wang Hao felt that if he walked with James, no one would think he was older.

How else would there be a nickname like Lao Zhan?

I have to say that Lao Zhan and the elementary school students are definitely the most peculiar duo in the NBA.

In the locker room, the Sonics are making final preparations.

"Guys, first game of the season, cheer me up, I don't want any surprises."

Paul Westphal was unflappable and seemed unaffected by his preseason performance.

"Also, Wang, let you mark that young man today, let him feel the intensity of the NBA.

To be honest, I'm not very happy. In the past few days, the media has been nagging me in front of me.

Keep asking me what I think about him, comparing him to Wang.

My God, are these media reporters crazy?And it's a bunch of crazy flies. "

Speaking of this topic, a group of players also felt the same way.

James has won widespread attention and a huge number of fans before entering the NBA.

No, after entering the NBA, the first opponent is the Sonics, and the degree of attention will naturally increase.

And these media are constantly asking.

Honestly, it's definitely very annoying.

It is said that idols pay for fan behavior. This is not nonsense, but real existence.

Those media reporters made everyone in the Sonics unhappy, and they naturally wanted to get it back from James.

In fact, as early as the day before yesterday, Gary Payton sprayed a meal.

Time and time again, Gary Payton is asked what he thinks of James compared to Wang Hao.

Gary Payton, who was originally a big mouth, couldn't bear it anymore and sprayed directly.

"Get rid of it, compare that little guy LeBron to Wang, so haven't I already surpassed the magician?

There is absolutely no comparison between the two, get rid of you and stop asking such stupid questions. "

----

"Di!"

Under the eyes of everyone, the game began.

The starting lineup of the Sonics has not changed much, and Gary Payton and Michael Reed are still on the back line.

As for the front line, it is Wang Hao and rookie Kirilenko, and the center is PJ Brown.

As for the Cavaliers, things have changed a lot.

Needless to say, James, as the absolute core of the team in the next few years, must start.

It's just that James' position is a guard, and he's also a point guard.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as a playmaker.

The back line partner with James is Ricky Davis who thinks James will come back to help him.

On the front line are Dalou Myers and Carlos Boozer, two big men over 206 cm tall.

Coupled with a 221-centimeter Ilgauskas, the Cavaliers' lineup is too tall.

The shortest is actually 198 cm Ricky Davis.

The entire Cavaliers lineup has an average height of more than 206 centimeters, and what stands out is an exaggeration.

It's just that the Sonics like this lineup very much.

Being too tall means that the speed will be very slow.

The referee threw the ball into the air, without much suspense, and Igorskas easily grabbed the ball.

Igor Skas handed the ball to James, who took control of the half court.

Gary Payton quickly followed Ricky Davis, leaving James to Wang Hao.

The moment he saw Wang Hao, James immediately regained his spirits.

He also acknowledged Wang Hao's strength, but it was always his goal to challenge the strongest one.

While dribbling the ball across the half court, James began to think about how to break through later.

After breaking through Wang Hao, should he layup on the railing, or simply blow the basket violently?

James has even considered the action from breakthrough to goal to final celebration.

Then, when he came near the three-point line, James was dumbfounded.

"No, what about people? What about defending people?"

James, who was outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, looked up and saw that Wang Hao was already standing on the free throw line.

No, what are you doing?Not defensive?

However, James is not a fool, on the contrary, his basketball IQ is very high.

He instantly understood Wang Hao's plan, guarded against his breakthrough, and simply let go of his shot.

For a moment, James almost shot directly impulsively.

The reason why it was a little bit close was naturally that he was not sure.

Ever since, the fans at the key arena saw such a scene. Wang Hao was three meters away from James, and James was dribbling the ball stupidly on the spot.

At this time, Ricky Davis couldn't stand it any longer, and simply signaled for the ball.

After all, James has just entered the league and has not yet been domineering as the core of the absolute team, so he chose to pass the ball.

However, Wang Hao still carried out the defense just now, keeping a distance of more than two meters from James.

Ricky Davis was also polite and directly chose to break through.

It's a pity that Gary Payton is not young, but he has enough experience, and he directly judged the direction of Ricky Davis' breakthrough.

Ricky Davis tried very hard to push Gary Payton to the inside, but his position was not very good.

It's just that he didn't think about passing the ball.

In Ricky Davis' view, as the core of the team, it is only right for him to take responsibility at this time.

Isn't it the same as the guy just now to pass the ball?

Ricky Davis forced his shot awkwardly, and at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared.

That's right, it was Wang Hao.

Ricky Davis' shot was slapped away by Wang Hao.

"Damn it, take your defender away, it's still the No. [-] pick, will you play?"

Ricky Davis couldn't hold back his face, so he took his anger out on James.

Well, this is actually not a problem.

This is indeed the case. Wang Hao gave up defending James and chose to help defend inside.

Just imagine, if Wang Hao was defending Kobe or McGrady, would he dare to do this?

Certainly not, because the two can throw the ball in.

Of course, it wouldn't be completely daring, because this time, Wang Hao has a trustworthy teammate.

That's right, Kirilenko.

Wang Hao believes that if he chooses to assist in the defense, Kirilenko will definitely be able to help him complete the supplementary defense.

James felt a little wronged, but he didn't know how to explain it, because he understood that competitive sports didn't need an explanation.

What he needs to do is to find it in the next attack.

However, at this time, after PJ Brown protected Wang Hao's block, he immediately gave the ball to Wang Hao.

In an instant, the supersonic counterattacked directly.

Everyone immediately switched from a defensive state to an offensive state, directly entering the Cavaliers' half.

Even PJ Brown threw Igorskas by a long distance.

James reacted very quickly and immediately chose to keep up with Wang Hao who was holding the ball.

It's just that, on both sides of him, Kirilenko and Gary Payton quickly interspersed and rushed inside.

At this time, Wang Hao has also made a choice to pass the ball directly.

Michael Reid has appeared in the right three-point corner without anyone noticing.

Wang Hao knew that Michael Reed would definitely appear here without even looking at it with his eyes.

Ever since, Wang Hao looked in another direction, but passed the ball to the corner on the right where there was no one.

And the moment he passed the ball, Michael Reed also rushed to the horse, and shot with a knife in his hand.

"Shh!"

3:0

Without too many surprises, Michael Reid is still very trustworthy when unmarked.

In fact, Michael Reid was also holding back his energy.

In his opinion, the role he can play in the team will not be lower than that of Lewis.

In the previous few seasons, it was just because he had too few opportunities.

Now that Lewis has left the team, Michael Reid also needs to prove himself.

Lewis left, he can make up for the missing firepower.

Looking at the basketball falling from the hoop, James was a little dumbfounded. Is this the end?

No, it's only a few seconds, and their team isn't even ready to defend.

This lost three points?

After all, James is James. Although he was a little shocked, he adjusted extremely quickly.

Quickly let his teammates serve from the bottom line, he also wants to speed up.

However, when he caught the ball and pushed it past the half court, he looked up and was a little dumbfounded again.

The Sonics' defense is ready to go.

"Is this the championship team?"

Seeing this scene, James was not intimidated, but full of fighting spirit.

Looking at Wang Hao who was three steps away from him, James was not timid, let alone made random choices.

He is not very sure about the three-pointer from the outside.

Ever since, James decisively chose to break through, which is his strongest point.

James speeded up slowly, and was about to get close to Wang Hao, but suddenly broke out.

His speed was extremely fast, and he was about to pass Wang Hao.

However, Wang Hao is not bad either, as one of the top perimeter defenders in the NBA.

He has already let his opponent go three steps, if this is still broken through, it will be too unreasonable.

James failed to pass Wang Hao directly, but collided with him.

In the past, as long as such a light bump, the opponent would be directly knocked into the air by him, and no matter how bad it was, he would be squeezed away.

But now, Wang Hao didn't move at all.

It can only be said that Xiao Zhan is a young Zhan after all, and it is not because he has not practiced his skills and his body has not yet reached its peak.

If it was ten years later, Wang Hao would definitely not be able to stop James in such a head-on confrontation.

As for now, it is very easy.

Failed to knock Wang Hao away, James' speed dropped helplessly, and he had to think of another way.

It's just that before he took the ball out again, Kirilenko's defense had quickly caught up.

This is the biggest goal of the Supersonics this season, an even more invincible double-team switch.

Sure enough, James reacted very quickly and quickly gave the ball to Carlos Boozer.

It's just that Michael Reid has quickly filled his position.

Boozer saw that he had no chance to make a shot, so he could only divide the ball again and give the ball to Darius Miles.

As a result, the Sonics' defense has been completely rotated in place.

In the end, Darius Miles could only force the shot, because the offensive time was running out.

The result of this forced shot can only be said to come out of the box.

It's just that Igorskas caused a lot of trouble for PJ Brown by virtue of his height advantage.

It had to be Wang Hao, who appeared in time to protect the rebound.

Taking advantage of this time, the Cavaliers have already retreated in place, and there is no chance for the Supersonics to counterattack.

Gary Payton took over the basketball and was not in a hurry. Since he fell into a positional battle, he played slowly.

Wang Hao quickly entered the inside line, blocked James behind, and reached out to Gary Payton for the ball.

Since it is necessary to welcome newcomers to join the NBA, it is natural to make the welcome ceremony lively.

It's not enough to just play defensively, and the offense has to work harder.

Moreover, Wang Hao is very clear that there are not many opportunities to bully Xiao Zhan like this, and one fight is less.

Although James is young, he is still quite arrogant in his bones.

It's no wonder that James' popularity surpassed most NBA players when he was still in high school.

Not everyone is qualified to get a super contract from Nike before entering the NBA.

It's not that James doesn't know that Wang Hao's post-up singles are a must, and it's not easy to defend against.

Many NBA players have said that facing Wang Hao's post-up singles, you only have two choices.

Either keep your eyes open and watch him throw the ball in, or take the initiative to go around and defend.

James can't do the embarrassing thing like going around.

That being the case, Wang Hao was not polite. After receiving the ball, he chose to face the basketball.

It was a tentative step first, and then he made a gesture to make a shot, shaking James' attention one after another.

Another tentative shot, but this time it was not a fake move, but Wang Hao really made a shot.

James reacted a little slower, but still tried to straighten his hand, hoping to interfere with Wang Hao.

Unfortunately, the fadeaway shot is definitely the most difficult shot to defend.

James' interference effect was not obvious, and Wang Hao's shot flew steadily towards the basket.

"Shh!"

5:0

"Welcome to the NBA, rookie!"

Hearing this sentence, James didn't wrinkle, his nasolabial folds could not wait to pile up one by one.

In the NBA, that's not a nice word to say.

However, he also secretly calmed himself down. The game is not over yet, and there is still a chance.

Sure enough, in the next game, James became more serious, and at the same time increased his initiative.

It's a pity that the effect was not obvious, Wang Hao grasped his weakness.

Let him be three steps away. In this case, it is impossible for James to break through Wang Hao.

Moreover, once there is a slight delay in the breakthrough process, someone will follow up when the Supersonic's defense leaves.

Supersonic defense, but never alone.

In the end, James was directly forced to rush, and he simply shot from outside the three-point line.

It's a pity that the more forceful the shot, the worse the effect.

James' three-pointers shot out one after another, completely blocking James' chance to open up the situation.

He couldn't make a shot, couldn't make a shot, and James was completely locked up.
