Chapter 183: : [Your nightmare begins]


Cleveland on November 15 was already cold and cold.
Larry Hughes walked into the Quicken Center Arena wrapped in a thick cotton coat. He could clearly see the perfunctory of the surrounding staff towards him, even hiding a trace of ‘hostility’.
Hughes was not at all comfortable with the weather in Cleveland, and even less so with everything in Cleveland, except for the two gorgeous girls last night.
Cleveland is too small to even be considered a city, it can only be called a town.
There isn't even a decent bar here. Although he's not a man, he still prefers Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington.
He entered the NBA under the name of Large Iverson. They are indeed very similar. Larry Hughes' speed and explosiveness are very amazing. He is extremely good at using the cover to enter the penalty area to lick the basket and score points. He is also proficient in all kinds of sinking skills. As for the quick counterattack, it is even more rare.
However, in Philadelphia. His talents have not been demonstrated. Although his relationship with Iverson is very close, their functions still overlap, and soon he was traded to Auckland.
In the Bay Area, he ushered in his first career breakout. He started all the last 36 games of the past season in the trade, averaging a staggering 22.7 points, 4.1 assists and 5.9 rebounds.
However, the good times did not last long. People soon discovered that his shooting ability was really lacking, so the average score per game plummeted, but other aspects have maintained the output of operating standards, especially steals.
In the summer of 02, he joined the Washington Wizards as a free agent.
Here he met the most important man in his life: General Gilbert Arenas.
He has spent three happy years, the data is rising, and the team's record is getting better. In 2005, he reached the Eastern Conference semifinals. Hughes also became the top scorer of the team outside Gilbert Arenas Won the first personal honor-selected nba best defensive lineup, in addition he also contributed 22.0 points 6.3 rebounds 4.7 assists and an amazing 2.89 steals.
At this time, he was very strong in stealing the title of the king and the best defensive lineup. The Cleveland did not hesitate to award a $ 70 million contract.
The Cavaliers believe that Larry Hughes will become LeBron James's Pippen.
However, when Larry Hughes arrived in Cleveland with a suitcase full of ambitions. In the first training class, he found ... not at all.
He couldn't cooperate with LeBron James, the son of natural selection.
Although he can play both without ball and with ball. And get along well with super scorers like Iverson and Arenas.
However, LeBron is different.
Despite his good criticism, he has never had the reputation of being tyrannical. However, he is too versatile. He does everything he can to do everything. Although he did well, he is very stingy and he rarely gives his teammates the freedom to play.
Playing around him can only be when he gets everything and passes the basketball to you, and then you immediately hit a shot.
As we all know, Larry Hughes is not good at shooting.
He needs the ball, he needs to control the basketball to quickly counterattack and quickly attack the basket.
He tried to cut his feet to fit his feet, but the efficiency fell rapidly. Even linked to the defensive end, he was once named to the best defensive lineup and took the steals king. He is now even called a defensive tumor ... Because his defense has a gambling component, he likes to use his amazing long arms and explosive power to attack . This usually requires a teammate to delay behind.
But how could LeBron do this kind of thing?
He also likes steals and prefers quick defensive counterattacks, how to get Larry Hughes round.
As a result, Hughes felt more and more at a loss. The Cleveland media and all basketball experts criticized him for his high salary and low energy, saying that he was a Cavaliers junk contract and that he delayed LeBron's growth.
Ok…!
What else can Larry Hughes say?
Since you said that I was a cancer, it was a high salary and low energy.
so be it.
Anyway, 70 million US dollars is no less than one point, he began to struggle in training, after training in the boring Cleveland looking for rare fun: For example, the two gorgeous girls last night.
He can feel that his talent is declining rapidly, just as his weight scale is telling him how many pounds he has added today.
However, he no longer cares.
When he came to the dressing room, rookie Daniel Gibson was already listening to the magnificent songs there, and actively patting his chest as if performing a mysterious ceremony.
Gibson, who is good at shooting, is becoming a celebrity around James. His shooting ability makes LeBron very fond of it. Tonight he will also start the battle.
But, honestly.
Larry Hughes is really not optimistic about Gibson. He knows that Bruce Lee is under attack from the entire basketball circle. Michael Jordan's pursuit even makes him a joke in the basketball world.
However, in Larry Hughes' view. Bruce Lee is a much better point guard than Gibson, and Gibson is at best an excellent role player. And Bruce's control of the game, the handling of basketball, including steals and quick counterattacks are all nba top-level.
Larry Hughes even saw his former shadow on Bruce Lee, although his passing ability was not as good as his. But his last minute steals and counterattacks during the duel against the Nuggets reminded him countless times of his youth.
It's a pity ... His speed is amazing, his ball control skills are gorgeous, but his explosiveness is a bit worse.
If he is more explosive, he can become the top playmaker.
Larry Hughes thought he could not help shaking his head here, and he remembered the scene where he was so powerful.
At that time, how amazing was the explosive power.
But now ... the decline in explosive power is irreversible, and what use is it even if you have a skill? Being a teammate of the Son of Heaven means that you have too little choice.
...
When Bruce walked into the Quicken Loans Arena, he didn't feel any coolness. Although a noisy reporter has always asked him in the player channel: "How to treat Gibson."
The reporter who claimed to be the "Cleveland Honesty" did not look honest at all. He just wanted to get some "unusual" remarks from Li Zhen's mouth, and then processed into an article promoting Gibson after the game.
In fact, there are already a lot of such articles in Cleveland.
Cavaliers fans are waiting for Bruce's brutal killing by James's entourage who calls Jordan his successor. Only in this way can they satisfy their vanity full of evil taste.
Therefore, Li Zhen ignored him at all.
Eddie Griffin, who was behind him, glared at the reporter: "What is Gibson? What is the name of an unknown who is comparable to Bruce?"
The icy cold wind accompanied Griffin's cruel face on the 'honest man'. Although he didn't dare to look directly at the villain who was more than two meters tall, he had already compiled the abdomen in his heart. He had to wait for the game to end, and the ruthless humiliation came back. He had to use his pen to destroy the two men.
In fact, many people think so.
Everyone was waiting to see the jokes of Michael Jordan and Bruce Lee.
And when Li Zhen entered the locker room, Phil Jackson announced the starting list tonight: Li Zhen, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Eddie Griffin, Kwame Brown.
And when he talked to Li Zhen alone, he told Bruce: "This is Michael Jordan's idea. He called me last night for 23 minutes. He is a man who is keen to fight the world, and now the world is overwhelming. 'S laughter made him ignite the will to fight, and he hopes you can too. "
"of course!"
Li Zhen told the Zen master with a smile: "I have always liked exams since I was small, because I can always hand over exams that please everyone. I always cross from one victory to another easily."
Phil Jackson is very satisfied with Li Zhen's mental state.
His expectations for Li Zhen have always been very high. Although the outside world has accused Li Zhen of the past three games, he feels that these three games show Li Zhen ’s most precious talents at a glance: he is obviously confronted with insufficient Under the circumstances, you can still use the sword to help the team win.
If Kobe Bryant is the most important foundation for victory, he has paid 95%. Then Li Zhen is the most critical factor in determining victory. His 5% plus Kobe Bryant is 100%.
Bruce is so extraordinary, his energy output is completely different from Black Mamba, but it complements each other.
He believes that as Li Zhen's physical fitness and confrontation ability improve, he will help the team more.
His proportion will also increase rapidly from 5%, and it is possible that he will be able to split the game with Black Mamba on a certain day.
So, tonight ... he decided to give Li Zhen more tactical dominance.
...
When the Lakers players walked onto the court, the Quick Loan Center's stadium immediately burst into earth-shushing boos.
Cleveland fans are inexplicably hostile to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Maybe it's because Kobe Bryant is LeBron James' biggest opponent in the league.
Or maybe the guy Bruce was actually hand-picked by Michael Jordan, which made them unacceptable.
In their perception, James is the next son of the 23rd Heavenly Election
Bruce Lee? What kind of stuff is he?
So, shush him! !
Facing the sky of boos and abuse, Li Zhen raised his eyebrows. His mood was not affected, but he felt noisy. But Eddie Griffin beside him was scolding: these dog food guys, sooner or later, they will slam your mouth with basketball.
After a short home event, the players from both sides started walking towards the court.
When LeBron James walked to the technical stage in a pretense gesture, a large number of shots immediately surrounded him to see how he performed the magnesium powder.
This is the influence of the league's future signboards. His every move is captured and then widely praised.
He has been favored by almost all basketball media, and everyone thinks he will rule the league quickly.
But Li Zhen felt that his magnesium powder wasn't as good-looking, his back was even a bit like ... Iron back gorilla?
"Boy, when you were ncaa, you stole my belongings by chance. Now it is time for you to return even the profitable ones."
Daniel Gibson took the initiative to approach Li Zhen and arrogantly issued an official announcement.
Tonight he finally got the chance to make his debut. Because the whole of Cleveland wants him to teach the Chinese guy who was praised to heaven by Michael Jordan.
Of course, the head coach will not disobey this fierce public opinion, and ... this is what the LeBron team means. They also hope that the guy whom Michael Jordan calls his successor will be taught. Only in this way will it appear that the little King James is justified.
"Do you really think you deserve to be my opponent?"
Li Zhen asked Daniel Gibson from the bottom of his heart. Even if there is still no talent for 10 points, but ... players like Daniel Gibson, he really did not pay attention.
Li really seriously stabbed Daniel Gibson's self-esteem, and he immediately became angry and angry: "You're done !!! Kid !!! You're not saved !!!"
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and never responded again.
In fact, at this time, the nationwide live TNT TV channel is also talking about the two rookies standing together.
The two are of similar height, and there is no obvious difference in figure. From the appearance, it is indeed a pair of matching opponents.
"If Michael knows that the successor he supports can't even beat the shooter next to LeBron, I'm afraid it won't appear in the media lens in the next year."
Barkley sat in the live broadcast room, seeming to regret it, but said happily: "I really hope that proud Michael will not get mental illness."
"It also proves that the of basketball is only on the court. When he is off the court, he is useless. That's why I can get the job of an narrator, and he has no reason."
Barkley continued.
But his sentence made Kenny Smith shoot: "Do you think he needs the job of a narrator? Charles, he can now get tens of millions of dollars in dividends from Nike every year when he lies down. Why did he come out to work? ? "
"Also, I do n’t think Daniel Gibson has the power to beat Bruce. Do n’t forget the fact that no matter how the media sings Bruce now, Bruce has never lost to any provocateur, whether it is jr Smith or Randy Foye, They are defeated. Do you think Gibson will be stronger than them? "
Beep! !
The whistle sounded and the game started on time. The referee threw the basketball into the sky and Kwame Brown and Ilgoskas took off at the same time.
Snapped!
There is no doubt that Kwame Brown took the lead in shooting basketball.
But Daniel Gibson clearly wanted to steal the ball.
However, just as he tried to block Li Zhen laterally, Li Zhen had quickly taken steps, although his explosive power was very common, but when he took the second step ... Splat!
Basketball was instantly shot by him.
And, move forward at lightning speed.
When he reached the three-point line, Gibson just turned back.
At the same time, Li Zhen had lightning intruded into the free throw line, and Larry Hughes had to turn around to help defend.
Seeing that he lost his position, Li Zhen immediately passed the basketball to Black Mamba. Black Mamba received an assist and quickly rushed ... Boom!
Dunk like a broken bamboo succeeded.
At this time, there was a voice in Li Zhen's head: caught the fallen man and set him off! ! !
Who?
Li Zhen looked around and saw Larry Hughes with blurred eyes.
At the same time, the tower-like LeBron came over and reminded Larry Hughes: "Don't lose your defensive position."
His tone is very gentle.
However, it can be seen that Larry Hughes does not agree with this euphemistic criticism.
