At the post-match press conference, Shen Xiao brought James, Howard, and Nash to attend.
A BBC reporter asked,"The biggest difference in points between the two teams in history. Is this a humiliation to the Nuggets?”
Shen Xiao waved his right index finger with an innocent expression."No, you used the wrong word. Let me correct you, after the opponent has changed their main lineup. I also replaced Steve Nash. James and Iguodala, the three main lineups.”
"It can only be said that my reserve lineup is slightly stronger than the Nuggets 'reserve lineup.”
When the reporters below the stage heard this, their faces revealed looks of disdain. How shameless!
Fine, you win! Everything you say is right.
"Moreover, the Nuggets are a strong team, and their coach is better than me. In particular, Anthony, who was playing against the Nuggets, was a strong player in the single-player category. He could not break through one-on-one.”
Shen Xiao spoke eloquently and incessantly, constantly praising the other team's manager and players as if he wanted to blow them up to the sky.
But to the reporters, it was a complete mockery, even mockery!
To put it in modern terms, that was flattery!
"James, you just joined the Alliance. His performance in these four games was an average of 10.2 points and 7.9 rebounded per game, which was a double-double performance. Do you have any expectations for yourself and your teammates?”an ESPM reporter asked.
"Uh…I really want to thank Shen. He chose me. Let me be the captain and the core."
"Of course, Shen also gave me enough respect. Furthermore, he helped me find such an outstanding teammate. It's my honor to be able to play for such a hometown team.”James specially named Shen Xiao and sincerely praised him.
Later that night, America Today's Knight's rise was unstoppable. The situation where the west was strong and the east was weak was about to be broken.
Los Angeles Times: The rise of the Cavaliers can't be without their head coach, Shen. Kobe had to be careful!
The television station of the BBC made a special report and sent a special reporter to interview the 15 head coaches of the Western Conference.
……..………
11-06 Shen Xiao took the players on a private plane and flew to Indiana to challenge the Pacers in an away game.
At noon that day, after returning to the hotel he was staying at, Shen Xiao asked Tom Thibodeau to contact the Pacers and enter the Bankers 'Lifestyle Stadium to carry out the pre-match field adaptation training.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Xiao and his team members took the team bus and left the hotel to the Banker's Life Arena.
"I'm sorry, Shen. The Pacers only gave us half a court and 45 minutes of training time.”
Tom Thibodeau stepped forward, his face filled with shame.
"F * ck! These damn souls, they're just playing tricks on us.”Shen Xiao snorted coldly and cursed.
"James, Nash. We only have 45 minutes to get used to the training ground before the game. So you have to familiarize yourself with the venue and the floor as soon as possible. There's not much time.”
"Damn Indians! He only knew how to play tricks. Howard, you're going to beat up O'Neal tonight.”The anger in James 'heart rose.
"Don't worry, James. If it was Shaquille O'Neal, I'd be a little worried. I'm not afraid of O'Neal.”Howard clenched his fists and rubbed his fists.
"Practice your three-pointers, James, especially you. You only have 29% if you are disturbed.”Shen Xiao looked at James and pointed at him. He said in a deep voice, clearly a little dissatisfied.
……………
03-11-07 The Cavaliers challenged the Pacers in an away game.
In the first quarter, Howard broke out completely. In the paint, he made a series of back-to-back single-player shots in the low post. He relied on his strong body to push to the basket. He made a series of small hooks to brush the board, which stunned O'Neal. He scored 10 points and three rebounded.
O'Neal, relying on only two fouls, stood at the free throw line and made three of the four free throws.
On the outside, Iguodala. Nash made three three-pointers in a row, three out of five. The two teams changed their rhythm of attack and defense, and their speed was very fast.
After all, the Pacers were a strong defensive team in the playoffs. Shen Xiao's strategy today was very simple. Howard of Warcraft sat inside and grabbed the rebound. The four shooters on the perimeter, Big Brother, Nash, James, and Battier, all provided cross cover without the ball on the perimeter. As long as there was a small gap, he would immediately catch the ball and shoot.
Therefore, Shen Xiao avoided the sharp edge and chose a big and four small tactic. It worked immediately, and the effect was excellent!
In the first quarter, the entire team scored five out of ten three-pointers, with a 50% field goal percentage.
In the second quarter, the magical beasts were replaced and rested for the time being. " Da Zuo " Mo Ning was brought on to play the number five position. Nash was brought off for a short break, and Ben Gordon came on to play the number one position.
As soon as the game started, Iguodala received a pass from Gordon and made a mid-range jump shot. Under the interference of Reggie Miller, he lost his balance and forced his way in.
Then, the offense and defense changed. James suddenly stole the ball and snatched the ball from Regimille. He rushed to the front field alone and single-handedly smashed a dragon!
The Pacers made consecutive mistakes between offense and defense.
Then, with the help of the main center, Jeff Foster's cover, Reggmiller stopped and chased after the three-pointer, hitting a return shot.
The offensive and defensive conversion, Ben Gordon's long pass was snatched by James, and the ball was passed to Iguodala. The small throw was firmly hit.
At this time, Reggie Miller and O'Neal caught up and tried to defend. The whole process took less than four seconds.
"Scribe, I request a 60-second pause.”
Shen Xiao quickly stood up, walked to the technical desk, and said very politely.
The head coach of the Cavaliers called a time-out, and the players from both teams returned to the bench.
"Battier, take a break. Mutombo, you come on to help defend and protect the frame.”
After the pause, the match continued.
Iguodala and James relied on their individual skills to make consecutive layups. They directly sent out a wave of 12 - 3.
The whistle sounded for the second quarter, and it was halftime.
The Cavaliers were 66-50 against the Pacers, leading by 15 points.
In the third section, Shen Xiao used another surprise attack, five up and five down.
Number 1, Nash; Number 2, Lagabel; Number 3, Gerrard Wallace; Number 4, Ben Gordon; Number 5, Mourning.
Then, Gerrard and Ben Gordon began to break out and break through again and again to pass the ball to their empty teammates. The score was 8-0.
Then, the score rose in turn. The Pacers 'main lineup desperately chased after the points. O'Neal completely broke out and caught up to within 10 points, consuming a lot of physical strength.
In the fourth quarter, Shen Xiao waved his hand and changed into the main lineup that had rested for the entire quarter.
Swoosh!
Shua!
Swoosh!
Nash, James, and Iguodala made three three-pointers from the outside. They took the game away and widened the gap to 19 points.
The Pacers 'head coach, Rick Carlyle, looked at the score and the time. He hesitated for a moment before he replaced all the main players and announced that he would give up the game.
The match entered garbage time.
"Bobby, get ready. Substitute Gordon."
"Uncle Mu, get ready to go onstage. Rajabel, get ready to go onstage. Dazhi, you go up too." Shen Xiao thought about it and decided to give Wang Zhizhi some time to come on stage and find his competitive state.
Taking advantage of the dead ball, he brought on the four substitutes. Only center Mourning was left on the field, sitting inside.
