On November 5, 2003, the denver nuggets challenged the cavaliers in an away game.
The match would be held at eight o'clock that night. Just like how the Cavaliers signed Wang Zhizhi, it attracted the attention of domestic fans and focused on calling for the Central Five to broadcast the game.
The station heads of the Central Five had a meeting to discuss the attack. For the time being, they would send a film crew to go to Cairo for a live broadcast.
They were also worried about whether Wang Zhizhi could play in the starting lineup and whether he could establish himself in the NBA like Zhang Min!
That night, as night fell in the City of Orlando, many new and old fans bought tickets for the game early and entered the Amazon Center.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the team bus arrived outside the stadium. The players got off the field one by one, passed through the security gate, and put their phones, wallets, and other items in a small box.
They entered the home team's locker room through the players 'passageway.
Shen Xiao followed Olajuwon and Tom Thibodeau. James Worthy and Ewing chatted happily as they passed through the players 'passage. On the other side were reporters from TNT and special commentator Booker from ESPM.
He pushed open the door and walked into the home team's locker room.
"Hey, guys, today is our first home game.? The people of Stanford never thought that they would have three consecutive victories.”
"And they did have two wins and two losses. (Tournament schedule)"
"In this game, we'll focus on marking two players. They're the starting point guards of Nottingham, Vaughan Leonard and Carmelo Anthony.”
"Battier, you follow Vauchon Leonard. Iguodala, you're in charge of defending Anthony!”Shen Xiao deliberately walked in front of Big Brother and patted his shoulder to encourage him."Today, both your offense and defense will be very difficult. It didn't matter if he couldn't defend against Anthony. He had to do his best.”
"Coach, it's okay. I can defend against him."
"Today, Nash will do more cross runs without the ball. Howard, you will be responsible for the pick-and-roll for Nash. Nash was on the outside, forming a small team to fight a big team. At this time, if you enter the reasonable collision zone, you will be able to use your height advantage to rebound.”
"At this time, James, you hold the ball and break through the paint. As long as there's an open space next to Nash or Howard, you pass it.”
Shen Xiao picked up the tactical board and let the players gather around to explain today's tactics personally.
"Of course, if Big Brother has an empty seat. I believe in his shooting stability.”Shen Xiao added another sentence and reminded her.
"James, the single-player ability of a star player can indeed win some games. Only let your teammates feel it. When it gets hot, it will form a number of stable scoring points, and we can win the championship.”
"Today, we'll be on the offensive side. We'll also play seven seconds of offense. Therefore, no matter who got the ball in the backfield, they would directly pass it to the middle of the field.”
"Nash, the essence of running and gunning is speed, but not pursuing speed and making yourself flustered. To sum it up, it's fast but not chaotic!" Shen Xiao raised a finger and said in a deep voice with a firm gaze.
"Good luck! Get rid of the people of Stanford!"
In the end, Shen Xiao was very passionate. He stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist, loudly encouraging morale.
James also took the opportunity to extend his right fist and bumped his fist with Shen Xiao's. This was the way a black man greeted him.
At the opening ceremony, the lights dimmed.
The live DJ stood on the mixing console and used the loudest voice to mobilize the emotions of the fans."Let's have this passionate night. Please welcome our Cavaliers players. Cheers ~ screams are over there!"
"The first is…Wang Zhizhi from China."
"Second, our bad boy, Rajabel!”
"Our king of braids, Gerald Wallace!!”
"Our inside player, Dwight Howard!”
"Fifth…"
The players wore their training uniforms and ran out in turn to receive the applause of the fans. The last one to come out was, of course, the new king of the Cavaliers, LeBlanc James!
Before the game, the coaches of both sides shook hands. Shen Xiao did not even look at them and turned around arrogantly to leave.
This season, the Nuggets 'head coach was Jeff Bzdelik. He was not a famous coach, nor was he a veteran coach. He was a European.
Shen Xiao had just sat down when he saw the sports reporter from the Central Five interviewing Wang Zhizhi. He did not think much about it.
The Nuggets 'starting lineup consisted of No. 1 Andre Miller, No. 2 Voshan Leonard, No. 3 Carmelo Anthony, No. 4 Nene Hilario, and No. 5 Marcus Canby.
The Cavaliers, No. 1 Nash, No. 2 Iguodala, No. 3 James, No. 4 Sean Battier, and No. 5 Howard.
The match began. The centers of the two teams. Jump ball in the center circle.
Magical Beast relied on his amazing jumping ability and the air holding power of his waist and abdomen to touch the basketball first and push it away.
Iguodala stretched out his left hand and instantly grabbed the basketball with one hand. He did not hesitate to make a long pass and threw the basketball into the air.
Nash and Howard. James, the three of them seemed to have a telepathic connection and rushed to the front field at the first moment. James caught the basketball and saw from the corner of his eye that Anthony could actually keep up with him.
Bang! James faked a pass and passed the ball through Anthony's crotch to Nash.
Nash received the ball and scored easily.
Swoosh! It was a stable batch.
Miller and Leonard ran back to their backfield at this time. They were a step too late.
"That's great, Steve."
James and Nash smiled and high-fived.
"Defend! Defend! What are you doing?"
Nuggets head coach Jeff Bzdelik was very angry. He stood on the sidelines and kept roaring at Anthony.
Changing between offense and defense, Iguodala followed Anthony throughout the game and paid attention to his teammates 'positions on the court from time to time.
The Nuggets 'Nene and Marcus were blocked by James and Howard and could not move at all.
Battier, on the outside, opened his arms to defend against Miller. He lowered his center of gravity and focused on him.
At this moment, Miller continued to move his crotch, making a fake movement of shaking his shoulders, and suddenly accelerated.
Pa!
At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared and hit the basketball.
Miller was shocked. He turned around and found that the ball had been intercepted."Return to defend!"
Battier snatched the basketball at the first moment and quickly killed half of the court.
Miller rushed forward at the first moment and was about to catch up with Battier to block.
At this time, James actually rushed up and caught up with Miller like lightning. Two against one in the front field.
Battier dribbled the ball into the three-second zone and instantly accelerated forward to break through.
Attract Miller's defensive focus!
Battier came to a sudden stop as he moved forward. At the same time, he lowered his body's center of gravity and pulled back in front of him. Regimüller's defense lost its center of gravity due to inertia and easily pulled out space.
Battier threw the basketball to the right side of the blue hoop. James seemed to have a telepathic connection. He rushed under the blue hoop, jumped up with both knees, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and used a powerful axe chop!!
Boom!
The atmosphere of the fans in the stadium was suddenly ignited. They all stood up from their seats.
The Nuggets were instantly stunned! For the Nuggets, who were good at playing inside the paint, they could not adapt to the Cavaliers 'playstyle at all.
The momentum of the Cavaliers had risen, and the entire team had a chemical reaction. Steals, blocked shots, rebounding, half-court passes, and the tacit cooperation between Nash and James.
Jenner's connection was once again happening!
As the commander of the entire team, Nash took on the responsibility of organizing the offense and linking up the team. He passed the ball like a ghost, often finding a gap in the gap between the players and accurately passing it to Howard inside the line.
Howard often ate the cake easily, facing Marcus Camby in the opposite position and dunking with both hands!
Xingyun's smooth attack, a three-pointer that pierced through the heart, pierced through the net bag. Within five minutes, they had a 16-6 score.
The Nuggets 'head coach Jeff Bzdelik had no choice but to call a 60-second time-out to slow down the Cavaliers' momentum.
"Well done, James and Nash.”
"Like this, keep running without the ball. You must be tired. Five up and five down."
Shen Xiao held the tactical board and stood in front of James, making a bold decision.
