Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 28 What are you in a hurry for?

"Stephen, can you do it? If not, let me do it!"

Seeing Suwan's arrogant celebration, Artest shouted at Jackson in dissatisfaction.

Jackson looked a little embarrassed, but Suwan's cut was very sophisticated, unlike an ordinary rookie. He was better at 1v1 defense, especially those with slow legs. Defending against opponents who knew how to use screens to catch the ball and then cut was actually his weakness.

But seeing the rookie on the other side being so proud after scoring a goal, he said in a deep voice: "Why are you so anxious? It's only one round!"

"See, Paul, how skillful my open cut was this time? He only came into contact with this tactic after joining the Cavaliers. You can't help but admit this kid's learning ability!" Brandon Malone exclaimed to Silas.

Silas wanted to retort: ​​"This is just an ordinary cut that couldn't be more ordinary!"

But he couldn't say it.

Because what Malone said is right.

When he first joined the Cavaliers, Suwan didn't have such an open cut nose. His growth in this regard has all happened in the past month.

This is another advantage of "The zone" model.

After turning on this mode, even if Su Wan had never come into contact with a tactic, he could understand it instantly. And the use and understanding of tactics during this period still existed in Su Wan's mind after the game and became his experience.

As soon as Newbell got the ball, he immediately realized that this was a perfect opportunity to break through.

LeBron's expression was even more complicated. Looking at Suwan's flamboyant celebration after the dunk, he felt that he was suppressed again and again. This feeling of being suppressed again and again was really uncomfortable.

He has never felt this bad since Sports Illustrated called him "The Chosen One."

He was feeling very annoyed and wanted to vent.

However, Tinsley seized on his impulsive reaction and skillfully dribbled him aside.

This was enough to remind many people of the scene where rookie Allen Iverson shook off Michael Jordan. There was a low roar at the scene. Silas cursed inwardly: Damn, what the hell is this guy doing?
This is not the LeBron James he remembered!
When Suwan was halfway through the defense, he caught a glimpse of LeBron standing still, watching Tinsley enter the free throw line. He sighed in his heart and returned to defend in front of Stephen Jackson. - If LeBron immediately switched defense with him, he would rush over without hesitation to defend Tinsley. In this situation, if he still rushed over to defend, then Tinsley would pass the ball to Jackson, and even if Newbell replaced him to defend, the Pacers would continue to pass the ball, and there would still be a wide-open shot opportunity.

No matter how you defend with “4 defending 5”, you will only miss people.

"Big Z", as the last line of defense, failed to block Tinsley's jump shot.

Once again making a fool of himself, thinking about Suwan's highlights so far, LeBron spread his hands impatiently: "Hey, man, what are you doing? Why are you stopping defense halfway through the game!"

Su Wan responded with a "counter-sale": "You've already let someone pass by, and you still have the nerve to ask me?"

"You should make it up to me, you clearly have enough time!" LeBron's attitude was very tough.

"When you learn to defend without using your eyes, I will make up for you." Su Wan was speechless. It was the first time he saw someone who stood there without defending after being easily broken through by his opponent and even righteously blamed his teammates.

The back-and-forth verbal altercation attracted the attention of the sidelines, and Paul Silas quickly clapped his hands to get the two men to focus on the game.

LeBron received the ball in the backcourt, still very unhappy, and slapped the ball hard.

Su Wan's response was as sharp as a needle. He didn't know who was the last person who dared to speak to him like that, and how long ago it was. Even with such a person, his team actually asked him to get along with him!
This rookie has no regard for the "king" at all!
This is something LeBron cannot tolerate.

The ball was brought from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Artest was waiting for him with a fierce look on his face. LeBron James sighed helplessly. He felt very frustrated. First, Suwan was constantly playing well. Second, while Suwan was playing well, he made Artest lose his temper.

During the preseason, he could clearly feel the benefits of the league's cancellation of hand-check.

But facing Artest, this bonus seemed to disappear.

"Inside, inside, or give the ball to uncle!" Paul Silas saw LeBron's dilemma and gave him advice.

LeBron glanced at Suwan, who did have space to catch the ball, but without even a second's consideration, he lobbed the ball into the basket, and "Big Z" took the ball and easily scored in a singles. Jeff Foster, as a standard "inside meat shield", was too slow, and "Big Z" had a lot of experience in singles like this.

Originally, he scored 35 points and 18 rebounds against the Pacers in this game, but the Cavaliers lost the game due to LeBron James' 6 turnovers. There are actually many such games.

LeBron wasted the prime years of many people, and the most overlooked one was the first All-Star center that LeBron partnered with in his career.

Relying on Big Z, the Cavaliers barely fought with the Pacers. At 5 minutes and 45 seconds into the first quarter, Paul Silas called a timeout. The score was 11 to 14 and the Cavaliers were trailing by 3 points.

"Uncle, you have to hold the ball and shoot more shots next time, so as to divert the Pacers' overly focused defensive attention on LeBron!"

"Big Z"'s performance was good enough. He currently made 4 of 3 shots, but the Cavaliers were still lagging behind because LeBron, the "engine of the Cavaliers", was restricted.

Su Wan said unhappily: "First, I have to get that damn ball!"

After scoring with an open cut at the start, he hardly touched the ball.

LeBron couldn't attack by himself, so his choice was always the "Big Z" in the interior. Su Wanneng could clearly feel that LeBron was targeting him. This kind of trick that only high school students played made him feel sick. ——A dog can't change its eating habits. It's only been a few games in the preseason and the first game of the regular season, and this guy's true colors have been revealed so quickly. It seems that he really had a very comfortable time with the Cavaliers last season.

LeBron said nothing.

Paul Silas tried to smooth things over, and both sides took the blame: "It's normal for young people to have conflicts in communication, but this is not a reason for you not to cooperate well!"

The game started again, and LeBron really handed the ball over obediently this time.

But he deliberately delayed until both sides were in position before passing the ball to Suwan. Standing next to him with his hands on his hips, he also "kindly" said something to add fuel to the fire: "Uncle, I believe in you. Stephen Jackson is definitely not your opponent."

The aroma of tea overflows!

It makes people want to explode, but they can't find a reason.

Suwan decisively called for a pick-and-roll with "Big Z". Stephen Jackson did not have the lateral speed of Artest. He successfully broke into the basket and gave the ball to Drew Gooden, assisting him in completing a dunk.

Artest wanted to help with defense, but was forced back by Su Wan's look.

"Stephen, can you do it?" he asked again.

Stephen Jackson's answer was the same as always: "It's only two rounds, why are you in such a hurry?"
