Chapter 68 Fast Attack Boy
The duel between Li He and LeBron James is the scene that fans most want to see.
But soon, young James' technical weaknesses were exposed.
His shooting is inconsistent, and his three-point shooting accuracy is less than 30%.
At the start of the game, he might be able to make two shots in a row thanks to his warm-up form, but as the intensity of the game increased, he started to miss frequently due to various factors.
Li He's performance in games is much more stable than that of young Zhan.
Especially when Ricky Davis heard the question, "Who is supporting whom?", he completely lost his composure.
Ricky Davis's defense is inherently poor, and with his mentality off balance, Li He could easily get past him.
Even if Darius Miles can quickly come over to double-team, Li He can still get good attacking opportunities by making runs after passing back.
Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas on the sidelines had a furrowed brow.
Hansen Lee is a tough guy to deal with.
I thought LeBron James' ability to read the game was already strong enough, but Hansen Lee's ability to read the game is even stronger than LeBron James'!
This guy showed none of the nervousness or recklessness of a rookie; he was like a seasoned veteran on the court.
With dribbling, passing, positioning, fakes, and passing, he easily tore apart the Cavaliers' defensive formation.
This... is terrifying.
With Li He's bounce pass finding Zach Randolph in the paint, Randolph hit a buzzer-beating two-pointer, ending the first quarter.
The Trail Blazers, playing on the road, are currently leading the Cavaliers 26-21.
The statistics of the two super rookies are the most eye-catching.
李贺首节5投3中，三分3中2，罚球2中2，单节拿下10分，还有1篮板3助攻。
Despite a strong start, LeBron James' shooting touch faltered, going 3-for-7 from the field and 1-for-3 from the free-throw line for 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist.
The two are evenly matched statistically, but judging from the game, Li He subtly outperformed LeBron James.
In the second quarter...
The Cavaliers attempted a comeback at home, but the Trail Blazers' bench was far superior to the Cavaliers' team that tanked so badly last season.
Jeff McGinnis and Derek Anderson then put up strong performances, extending the lead to over 10 points at one point.
The Cavaliers brought in LeBron James early in an attempt to turn the tide.
However, when James went up, he immediately committed a traveling violation. After being called for the violation, he shook his head in distress, indicating that he had not traveled.
Seeing that the situation was very favorable, Coach Morris did not rush to replace the main players, but instead let Jeff McGinnis and others play for the time being.
Li He was not substituted into the game until there were 6 minutes and 22 seconds left in the second quarter.
As soon as Li He stepped onto the court, he was booed by the Cleveland fans.
"Sigh..."
"Whoa..."
In the eyes of Cavaliers fans, this infamous Hansen Lee is nowhere near as good as the "Chosen One".
Even if Hansen Lee performed slightly better in the game, it was because the Trail Blazers' roster was much better than the Cavaliers'.
Ricky Davis, who was invisible in the first quarter, tried to prove himself in the second quarter.
After receiving the ball, he went one-on-one with Li He and took a mid-range jump shot.
As it turned out, Li He's defensive judgment was very accurate, and he immediately reached out to block the shot!
"This can be blocked?" Ricky Davis was stunned.
What an outrageous wingspan!
The basketball didn't even touch the rim; it landed right in Zach Randolph's arms. He glanced up and saw that Hansen Lee had already crossed the center line!
What a great speed!
Or rather, his awareness of launching a fast attack is even faster than his speed!
It happened so fast that Ricky Davis and Darius Miles didn't even have time to react!
Randolph, understanding perfectly, threw out a long quarterback pass, assisting Li He to score with a one-handed dunk!
After scoring, Li He couldn't help but exclaim:
That method makes scoring goals so easy!
This happened again a few minutes later.
As the first half was about to end, LeBron James missed a mid-range shot, Rasheed Wallace grabbed the rebound, and immediately passed the ball to Little Mouse.
The flying squirrel had just started up when it discovered that Li He had already sprinted towards the front.
What the hell is that fast attack ability? How can they run so fast?
The little flying squirrel silently thought to itself, "Go straight for the ball."
Li He easily slammed home a two-handed dunk after taking on 0 opponents in the frontcourt!
LeBron James, who had just missed a shot, stood there with his arms crossed, staring blankly into space.
It's as if he's discovered a new continent.
A new way to score points easily.
The first half of the match then ended.
The Trail Blazers lead the Cavaliers by a whopping 12 points, 53-41.
Li He has already scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists in the first half.
James also had a decent performance with 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists.
As the players walked to the sidelines, Zach Randolph and Li He put their arms around each other's shoulders and said:
"Hansen, your fast break ability is so strong now, it's like you're a fucking virgin!"
Li He chuckled: "Of course, I'm a virgin every day."
Randolph gave a thumbs up: "Good, fast break boy."
Li He chuckled to himself, thinking, "Little Fatty, you're quite trendy, you've accidentally come up with this term."
In fact, Li He didn't really have much of a problem with the nickname "fast attack boy".
In competitive sports, it's normal for some star players to have special privileges.
The special privileges enjoyed by basketball superstars are outrageous; some players are late for training and make the whole team wait for them.
If there are three days between team games, the coach will be given a day off to fly to Las Vegas and have some fun.
Etc., etc.
Even Lionel Messi in the football world is someone whose players are implicitly allowed to play without defending.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that a player is strong enough.
This is the reality of competitive sports.
……
The second half resumed quickly.
The Cavaliers increased their defensive intensity at the start of the third quarter, trying to control the pace of the game.
The Trail Blazers' playing style is far more aggressive than the Cavaliers'.
The two sides were deadlocked on the field.
With 8 minutes and 21 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
A dramatic scene unfolded on the field.
After Li He passed the ball to Ruben Patterson, James, who was out of position, arrived late. Seeing Ruben Patterson preparing to shoot, he simply reached out from a distance and then headed straight for the frontcourt!
LeBron James is a very quick learner; he grasped the essence of the "fast-break boy" in just one halftime break.
He had already planned it out: the 2.21-meter-tall Zydrunas Ilgauskas would grab the rebound, make a precise quarterback pass, and then he could launch a fast break, taking on 0 opponents and delivering a powerful tomahawk dunk that would ignite the entire arena!
But then a dramatic scene unfolded.
Rasheed Wallace and Zydrunas Ilgauskas were aggressively battling for the ball under the basket, while Zach Randolph and Carlos Boozer were also huddled together.
Realizing he had shot too short, Ruben Paterson instinctively rushed toward the paint area.
The basketball mysteriously landed in Ruben Paterson's hands.
Ruben Patterson was unguarded at that moment and easily scored a putback layup.
James had already sped up to the paint in the frontcourt and looked back.
Fuck, the Trail Blazers scored!
