NBA: I! The Most Versatile Player Ever!

Every team in the league trying to contend for a title is upset by the Cardinal's departure.

And the most disturbing of them is James.

Because, the opener is the Celtics against the Cavaliers.

The opener on November 2.

The NBA has arranged a total of three games, and the other two are respectively.

Lakers vs. Rockets.

Suns vs Mavericks.

The opening game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers did not actually attract as much attention as the Celtics played against the 76ers.

But Stern directly put the first duel between the two teams into the Christmas battle.

The remaining teams in the East that have a lot of topics did not say much.

The Pistons have now disintegrated.

What's more, even if they didn't disintegrate, they couldn't beat the Celtics today.

The Heat's Sharks are another year older.

And in the past two years in the playoffs, the Heat were beaten by the Celtics.

It is strange that such a matchup can be enjoyed by fans.

Therefore, James was once again pushed out by Stern.

The Cavaliers' offseason is, after all, a reinforced team.

There is still a lot to watch out for when all the knights face off against the defending champion.

Lakers vs. Rockets.

The match between the scoring champions, Kobe and Tracy McGrady is the guarantee of ratings.

Suns vs Mavericks.

Stoudemire's comeback, the complete body sun and the Mavericks in the end who is stronger.

It can be said that each set of duels is not small.

November 1.

Boston Airport.

James walked out of the cabin, looked at Boston, and war flashed in his eyes.

Although in the past two years, whether it is in the NBA or FIBA ​​rules, he is not Gu Yu's opponent.

But this season is different!

He ushered in a group of teammates who are very strong and who are very compatible with him.

In the previous preseason, the Cavaliers' lineup also proved this point.

Five preseason wins!

Although the preseason and the regular season are two different things, it can also be seen that the Cavaliers have made a leap in strength this season.

It is precisely because of this.

James has the confidence to go up against Gu Yu.

Instead of being easily crushed by Gu Yu and the Celtics like before!

James, full of confidence, took a bus to the North Shore Gardens after a night of rest at the hotel.

At this time, in the North Shore Garden, Gu Yu and others changed into new shirts.

The Cardinal's jersey retired by the Celtics is No. 2.

In order to commemorate the cardinal, on the left side of the original shirt, there is a black rectangular cloth piece the width of the thumb.

A number 2 is printed on the top of the cloth.

After Gu Yu put on a new shirt, his mood was somewhat dignified.

In the North Shore Gardens today, all the Celtic celebrities can come.

'Lord of the Rings' Bill Russell, 'Chief' Parish, K.C. Jones...

Old Nelson, 'Refrigerator' McHale and others, because they are the management of their respective teams, it is indeed inconvenient to come.

Before the flag-raising ceremony, it was naturally the award ceremony of the championship ring.

This year's championship ring is somewhat different from last year's.

This year's championship ring, the center is not the Celtics clover, but replaced by an O'Brien Cup.

The ball above the O'Brien Cup was replaced by a giant diamond.

Eighteen small diamonds are dotted around the O'Brien Cup, symbolizing the Celtics' eighteenth championship.

At the same time (cdee) the inside of the ring of each main player is engraved with their own jersey number and name.

Rings for coaches and some unconventional rotation players do not have this treatment.

The moment Gu Yu took over the championship ring from Angie, the cheers of the entire North Shore Garden sounded like a volcanic eruption.

Jun Zi Lei looked at the championship ring in his hand and kissed it involuntarily.

From Walmeckie to Seattle, and finally Boston, he finally realized his dream.

Payton, Gomez and others who did not come to the scene all chose to let the Celtics mail their championship rings to them.

James on the sidelines watched this scene with envy in his eyes.

For a player looking to go after Joe's gang leader.

A championship is a must!

After awarding the championship ring, amid the cheers of the fans, the Celtics' eighteenth championship flag slowly lifted into the air.

After the flag-raising ceremony, the game is about to begin.

"Hello everyone in front of the TV audience!

"I am Director Zhang! I am Yu Jia!

"Today, we will bring you the Celtics vs. Cavaliers game. This game is also full of gimmicks. The 2003 champion James vs. 2004 champion Dayu..."

The game is about to start as the voice of Director Zhang is heard from the TV.

The Celtics' starting lineup: center Okur, power forward Aldridge, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Junzi Lei, and point guard Gu Yu.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers: center big Z, power forward Drew Gooden, small forward James, shooting guard Peja, point guard Larry Hughes.

Larry Hughes played at the 1 early in his career, so there's no problem playing point guard.

As for why Peja is a shooting guard..

Although he played the 3 position in the Kings era, he obviously couldn't beat James in the Cavaliers.

beep!

With the referee's whistle sounded, the game officially started after the big Z jumped the ball successfully.

Larry Hughes dribbled the ball to James after halftime.

James held the ball at the top of the arc, and Peja immediately began to run without the ball.

The Cavaliers do not play the Princeton system now, so naturally it is impossible to take Peja as the core.

Peja's role is more of an off-ball movement to contain the opponent's defender.

And the person chasing after Peja is Gu Yu.

In terms of counterpoint, Junzilei is actually more suitable, but Junzilei is indeed a disadvantage in the face of Peja's height.

Although Peja is playing the No. 2 position in the Cavaliers, he is 2.06 meters tall.

And Junzilei's height is only 1.96 meters.

Gentleman Lei faces Peja, because of his height disadvantage, the interference that can be caused in many cases is indeed limited.

Therefore, Gu Yu chose to chase after Peja himself.

In the face of Gu Yu's death entanglement, Peja couldn't run out of the space at all.

Seeing that Peja couldn't run out of the space, James directly chose to play a high-level pick-and-roll with Big Z.

With the help of Big Z's pick-and-roll, James directly punched Okur.

Okur is not a traditional big center, but his speed can't keep up with James.

When James succeeded in breaking through, Gu Yu had already been pulled beyond the three-point line by Peja, who was running off the ball, and it was a bit late to return to defense.

And this time it was Aldridge who stood up.

bump!

Aldridge and James, who were back on defense, collided.

Although Aldridge is not a top-level defensive player, he is still a good defender.

Plus the wingspan of 2.11 and 2.25 meters.

Aldridge, who went back to the basket, successfully interfered with James.

Boom!

The basketball smashed out of the basket, and Aldridge grabbed the rebound with the advantage of his height and wingspan.

"Beautiful defense! Aldridge's defensive awareness is really good as a rookie, and he made the 'little emperor' James suffer a loss as soon as he came up. 35

Director Zhang was not stingy with his praise at this time.

on the field.

Gu Yu also gave Aldridge a high five to celebrate.

Gu Yu dribbled the ball over half court and came to the top of the arc.

Larry Hughes directly chose to stick the defense, not giving Gu Yu room to shoot.

There is no way.

James' defense of Gu Yu was ineffective.

Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown ultimately chose Larry Hughes to deal with Gu Yu.

And James's position at this time is also a typical joint defense position.

Pierce, who is 45 on the flank, is still two steps away.

This distance is a very good defensive position.

If Gu Yu passes the ball to Pierce, James can also quickly return to the defense without giving Pierce a chance to shoot open.

If Gu Yu is going to single against Larry Hughes, James can also flank Gu Yu faster.

Rivers on the sidelines saw this scene and had to say that the Cavaliers' defensive system was obviously much stronger than last season.

Peja's defense is really not good.

The main reason is that the defensive attitude is too negative and weak, and the psychological quality is not strong. The career average of less than 0.2 blocks per game is the best proof.

The moment Junzilei ran back and threw off Peja and ran out of the vacancy.

Gu Yu's pass arrived.

"Ray Allen made a three-pointer! Hit! I have to say, Ray Allen's three-pointer is really accurate!

"Of course, this is also closely related to Dayu's assists."

Director Zhang did not forget to praise Gu Yu at this time.

Mike Brown, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene, and his face was also a little dark.

The Cavaliers' defense is actually pretty good.

In the original history, the defensive efficiency of the Cavaliers is the fourth in the NBA, especially the defense in the interior is also underestimated.

Duncan averaged 23 points and 11.3 rebounds in the first three rounds of the playoffs that year while shooting 54 percent from the field.

In the finals, he averaged 18.3 points and 11.5 rebounds while shooting 44.6 percent from the field.

It can also be seen from the drop in shooting percentage, although Jamie often says that James' teammates are CBA.

But the big Z, Drew Gooden and Varejao's interior defensive rotations are pretty underrated.
