Chapter 80: Play against the Cleveland Cavaliers

　　 That afternoon.
　　The Hornets will arrive in Cleveland, and the game with the Cavaliers will be held tomorrow, on the 8th.
　　Because the time is not early, coupled with the fatigue caused by catching the plane and the bus, the coaching staff did not arrange training to allow the players to take a good rest. On the morning of the 8th, they went to the Cavaliers Home Richfield Stadium to prepare for the pre-match training.
　　Although this is the second away game of the Hornets, fortunately, there was a day in between, the players trimmed all night, and their physical condition was not bad.

　　In the evening of November 8, Richfield Stadium.
　　Cleveland Cavaliers VS Charlotte Hornets!
　　 When the home team debuted, the live DJ screamed in high spirits, and the audience gave them their enthusiastic cheers, but when it was the turn of the Hornets...
　　Although the DJ also introduced it regularly, the audience on the spot did not buy it, and sent their enthusiasm boos, especially when Li Shengli was introduced, the boos reached the apex.
what's the situation?
　　Li Shengli is a little ignorant.
　　 As a visiting team, the boos of the home fans will never be late, as was the case with the last Washington bullet, but now it seems a bit different...
　　 was supposed to give boos to the Hornets team, but Li Shengli took the bulk and took the biggest output from home fans.
　　 "Oh, God! Li, you don't seem to be very popular?" Jill said jokingly.
　　 "Nonsense, Lee fainted his opponent in the previous elbow, and his reputation was so stinky. Now who doesn't know that the Hornets have an iron elbow villain?" Boggs said, looking up at his teammates.
　　 "Fame is too stinky? No, no, Lee, don't worry... Trust me, your reputation will be even worse in the future." Curry's disgusting eyes recurred, giving Gil and Boggs an assist.
　　 "Go to your uncle, why don't I know that I still have the nickname of an iron elbow villain?" Li Shengli rolled his eyes, obviously not at Boggs' height.
　　Iron elbow villain Li Shengli?
　　 Where did this evil come from?
　　You know, your last game was only passive defense, can't you blame yourself?
　　With continuous boos, the Hornets will be surrounded by Bishop Alan to do the final deployment before the game.

After a few minutes.
　　 Both players are in place and the game starts immediately.
　　The Hornets starter has not changed, and Jill, Boggs and Newman all appeared on the scene.
　　Li Shengli is still the starting center. As a rookie, he has to say that Alan has given him enough trust.
And power forward Larry Johnson... In the last game, his abnormal performance on the defensive end made Bishop Alan see something wrong, but at present it is only speculation, Alan obviously does not want to see the two most effective insider infighting in his hand. .

　　 Cavaliers starting lineup.
　　 Center Brad Doherty, power forward Larry Nance, small forward Gerald Wilkins, shooting guard Mike Sanders, point guard Mark Price.
　　 There is no doubt that center Brad Doherty, who averaged 21.5 points and 10.4 rebounds per game last season, is definitely the Cavaliers' head player. And this Doherty is the one that Curry focused on introducing Li Shengli.
　　 In the 90s, the NBA mostly focused on the offensive and defensive inside. Among them, there were many top centers with fierce styles, and they were not afraid of hand-to-hand combat.
　　However...Doherty is a ‘clear stream’ in the NBA league, with a steady personality and a good style.
Of course, this does not mean that Doherty's style is soft. After all, in this era, there is no way for soft eggs to eat inside, and Doherty's basket attack is very tough, and his shooting percentage last season reached 57.1. %, ranked first in the league center.
　　 The only thing...
　　Doherty had a severe back injury, which led him to miss 41 games in the 89-90 season.
　　Although the performance of the next two seasons was outstanding, reaching the level of an All-Star player, the back injury was still bothering him.
　　Know that the human body is like a cloth bag. After one leak, no matter how to remedy, the conspicuous patch will always exist, and no one knows when it will come off.

　　 "Hello, Lee!"
　　 "Uh... hello, Doherty!"
　　The two stood in the midfield waiting for the jump ball. Doherty took the lead in expressing his goodwill, and Li Shengli naturally would not lose face.
　　 Very gentleman!
　　This is Li Shengli's first impression of Doherty.
　　As Curry said, Doherty's character is very stable, and there is no despise in the face of Li Shengli's rookie.

　　The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins.
　　 jumped the ball, Li Shengli put the ball all the way to the rear. Although Doherty also has a height of 213 cm, Li Shengli is clearly superior, and his jump jump success rate is too high!

　　 The first round of attack and defense.
　　Borgs organized an attack on the perimeter. After receiving the ball, Li Shengli pulled to a high position to support his teammates, followed by Doherty.
　　 The extension is empty!
　　Li Shengli did not choose to shoot himself, and passed the ball to small forward Newman who cut into the inside, and Newman ended the attack.
　　A qualified and excellent center, in addition to causing damage in the penalty area and pulling up the defensive gate, coping with teammates' offense is also an important assessment point.
　　Obviously Li Shengli is in the process of learning, and as of now... his progress is obvious.
　　 "Li, good job, you are no longer that brutal idiot!" Boggs ran to the backcourt and clapped Li Shengli. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 "Oh, Boggs, I think you should pat Lee's big ass!" Jill laughed as he ran.
"Get out of the way, both of you are up, if you lose the game, the coach will definitely peel your skin!" For these two living treasures, Li Shengli has no way, but fortunately, Curry, one of the three wasps .

　　Offense and defense.
　　 Apparently the core of the Cavaliers' offense was Doherty. The ball was transferred to Doherty without a good chance from outside.
　　Heavy weight, low back beat Li Shengli, Doherty's Yu Guang closely stared at the position of his teammates, and Li Shengli resisted him and began the first inside confrontation.
　　 In power confrontation, Doherty does not have the advantage. This has long been his expectation, and he carried Li Shengli hard, and with the power of recoil, a horseback archery turned over and projected the ball in his hand.
　　Now!
　　 The ball is hollow into the net.
　　Although the strength is not dominant, Doherty wins in the experience. He knows that the physical confrontation at this moment is enough to make Li Shengli's defense slower than his attack by half a beat.
　　 And this half shot is enough for him to make some articles.
　　 Super high hit rate of the jumper, has always been Doherty in this restricted area is full of madman battlefield, and the biggest capital of competing with others, and obviously... he feels good!

　　 Rolling horseback archery?
　　Turning over is not the point, the shooting accuracy is the key.
　　 Feeling Doherty's attacking style, Li Shengli began to think about how to apply this kind of attack to his body.
　　Although his CIC is not very good, but probably the idea is here... It is not necessary to end the attack by shooting!
