Chapter 7 Against the Mavericks

The Cavaliers didn't care at all about what the outside world said about themselves. They had expected it long before. After all, they had suffered too much suspicion before, saying that they did not defend. Even if the record in the regular season was very good, after the playoffs, it was still not far away.

After the All-Star, the whole knight changed dramatically. Such a knight shocked everyone very much. Is this still the previous knight? Didn't you say that the knights can't defend? So what's going on with these games? The difference between the current knights and the previous knights is that they have joined Iverson and Kwame Brown. If Kwame can bring some defense to the knights, then if Iverson can bring defense to the knights, they won't believe it.

So it's definitely not the arrival of the two of them, so the Cavaliers' defense has suddenly improved, but the Cavaliers will defend before, but this kind of defense has not been used in the previous games. If this is the case, they will change their view of the Cavaliers. The team's championship rate will He rose to the first place, before the top two of the Celtics and Lakers, and the Cavaliers' championship rate was only fifth in the eyes of the outside world.

Now, as soon as the Cavaliers have a defense, the championship rate has soared. Now the Cavaliers are simply impeccable in their eyes, and whether they can really be impeccable or not, you will know in the next game. The next game will be the Cavaliers' strong Mavericks in the West. This is the first meeting between the two teams this season. Neither side has played a game this season. They don't know much about each other, so this game has become a proof battle for knights in the eyes of the outside world.

It proves that their defense is not accidental, but indeed defensive. Although the Mavericks are not high in the ranks ninth in the West, there is no doubt about the strength of the Mavericks. The fierce competition in the West is known by the whole league, and the current Mavericks' record of the seventh in the West is only one win. It's just a field difference, and there is a possibility of climbing to the seventh at any time.

At present, the situation in the West is the most chaotic. The sixth-placed Hornets lost a game yesterday. In the past, it was just an ordinary game, but yesterday's game was not ordinary. Yesterday's Hornets' opponent was the Jazz. Before this game, the seventh-placed Jazz was behind the sixth-place Hornets. There is a difference in victory, but after the Hornets lost the game yesterday, the difference was only two games.

That game is very important to the Hornets. If they can win this game, the difference will be four games. However, now it is a pity that they finally lost the game and were further distanced closer by the following teams, which is really a pity for the Hornets.

The ninth-placed Mavericks play against the first Cavaliers in the East at home. In many cases, the Cavaliers will win this game. This is based on the record, but people who know basketball know that this game is definitely not so simple. It's not that whoever you want to win wins. Both teams are very strong teams. Who wants If you underestimate the enemy, you may lose the game.

And the Mavericks are currently in a critical period of the playoffs. They can't afford to lose any game, and the Cavaliers are not. They can't lose. Even if they lose this game, the top position in the Eastern Conference will not fall, but they will be pulled closer.

In terms of desire to win, the Mavericks are definitely above the Cavaliers. The Mavericks will play the Cavaliers as the last game. Everyone is thinking that if they lose this game, they will miss the playoffs, so they must not play this game for the playoffs. If you lose, such a desire to win is undoubtedly very powerful.

And the knight does not have this desire to win in despair. Only in despair can he have this desire to win. Therefore, in this respect, the knight is definitely not as good as the Mavericks, but on the contrary, the knight's pressure is not as great as that of the Mavericks. This is also a very good thing for the knight. It can't withstand the pressure, and the collapse is very light. Loose. If there is no pressure, it will be easier and easier to play. In this way, the result will come out, and it depends on the on-the-spot performance of the two teams.

However, the Mavericks' lineup is very serious. In the starting lineup, Kidd on the point guard line is the oldest player in this team, and Nowitzki, Dampier and others are not young, so there may be problems in physical fitness. If there is a problem, then the Mavericks want to take it again. Next knight, that's just a fool's dream.

Time passed quickly. On the night of the game, the players of both sides have warmed up in the stadium. Although the game has not yet started, the seats on the scene are already full. The attendance rate of the Mavericks in the stadium is still very good. Although the home team has not entered the playoffs so far this season, Mavericks fans didn't buy tickets to watch the game because of this.

On the contrary, everyone came. They want to see how their team can enter the playoffs. For them, they are very confident that their team will definitely enter the playoffs. Although the competition is very fierce, they still believe that their team can enter the playoffs as always, just time. It's just a problem.

"Iverson, have you ever been against Kidd?" After Huang Jun shot the basketball in his hand, he said to Iverson, who was also shooting beside him.

"It must have been in the right place. That's an old demon. You have to be careful of him. Although he is old now and does not have the peak state, his experience is not comparable to you. Iverson said, "In terms of experience, he can blow you up. There is no doubt about this. Although your strength is above him, your experience is really comparable to that of him. You must know this, so you must be careful with him"

"Be careful?" Huang Jun asked.

"Yes, just be careful. You don't know whether he is passing or shooting with him. Even at my peak, I sometimes feel helpless in front of him. I don't know whether he is passing or shooting at all, so when I am in front of him, I usually suffer." Iverson became more and more solemn. "His shooting is very good, and this historical data can prove that he is very good at three-pointers, and he often comes with two unreasonable three-pointers, and this kind of three-pointer that is unreasonable in the eyes of others has a very high shooting rate"

"When you pay attention to his three-pointer, you are fooled, because at this time he began to choose to pass the ball. His pass is the most threatening pass in the league, and even Nash is not as good as him at this point. So I tell you that you must prevent his passing and make him feel very uncomfortable. Of course, it's not to ask you to let him shoot. That's no different from looking for death. How to really defend is only if you are in the same position and suffer losses. Then you find your own weaknesses and think about how to defend him, so that it is possible to defend him.

After listening to Iverson's words, Huang Jun fell into meditation. He also knew that Kidd's passing the ball. His passing was exactly what he wanted to learn at present. He remembered that the college coach told him that he must combine the attack and passing perfectly and do whatever he wanted. Now he saw it, he was about to The opposite Kidd is a character who perfectly combines offense and passing, and such a character is the most terrible.

But he is not afraid. On the contrary, he is looking forward to the confrontation with him. Only in this way can he learn more, and only in this way can he make progress. Kidd, wait for me, I believe I will defeat you.

Thinking of this, Huang Jun's eyes were very firm and he clenched his fist tightly. When Iverson next to him saw this, he nodded secretly. Huang Jun was very good. He didn't have that kind of fear when he met a strong enemy. Instead, he aroused his competitive spirit and fighting spirit. Such a young man had not seen him for a long time. Another defender was in charge after Kobe.

Iverson appreciates Huang Jun more and more, and more appreciates Huang Jun's future. He believes that his future achievements are absolutely nothing. For this idea, the longer he gets along with him, the more he thinks so. This is definitely not a compliment, but what he really thinks. This is also what he wants to join the knights. One of the important reasons, another important reason, is that this team has a top superstar like LeBron James.

He knew what he needed now. Maybe in the eyes of others, he was hugging his thighs, but he didn't care about it at all. He had been fighting for the championship all his life. However, his teammates were not good enough to help him. He fell on the way of the championship again and again, and every time he was all over. He was bruised, and then continued in the second year. Year after year, his heart never gave up. On the contrary, he became more and more eager for the championship. Now there is such a good opportunity to witness the rise of a super defender. How can he miss this opportunity?

The starting lineup of the Mavericks in this game has come out: point guard Kidd, shooting guard Stankhouse, small forward Josh Howard, power forward Nowitzki, center Eric Danpier.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers: point guard Huang Jun, scoring Battier, small forward James, power forward Landry, center Asik

After the All-Star, Asik was put on the start. After three games, he could contribute nine points, 12 rebounds and two blocks per game. It can be said that the starting position became more and more stable, and Brown also laughed at Asik's performance, because Asik's performance was completely beyond his expectations.

He never expected Asik's performance to be so good. He thought that Asik could get seven points and seven rebounds per game even if he completed his task perfectly. He didn't expect him to average two pairs per game, but now he is now close to two pairs per game. This result is that he didn't expect when he arranged Asik to start. Of
