The Fifth Point Guard

James is 2.03 meters tall. After a season of training, he weighs 250 pounds, equivalent to 113 kilograms.

He and Anthony are the same height and weigh about the same.

But James has higher muscle content. Although Anthony weighs 240 pounds and is slightly lighter than James, he looks much bloated than James.

Also serving as small forwards, James and Anthony are both capable of scoring.

Small forward, Small-Forward, abbreviation: SF.

Generally, the team's small forward should be the team's most important scorer and must be able to score when the team needs it.

Once the small forward receives the ball, the first thing that comes to mind should be how to put the ball into the basket.

As a small forward, you may need to be able to grab rebounds, but it is not necessary; you may be good at passing the ball, but it is not necessary; you may have good bounce, or you may have excellent defense, but these are not the best. important.

The most important things for a small forward are three points.

Score, score, score!

However, under the same conditions of scoring ability and level, if you know some other things, you can greatly increase your points.

James mentioned going to the line and raising the ball above his head with both hands.

Boozer took a step across and swung his muscle stick to stop Eddie Jones.

Shentong took a step around Boozer.

James' passing is very accurate.

At that moment, Shentong even felt the light of Kidd throwing the cake.

Then take off directly.

An elegant dry pull like Maddie.

Odom, who was on defense, had no time to react and could only watch the ball eagerly and sigh.

"Uh-huh."

Shentong, who had just won the scoring title, was full of energy and contentment.

The shooting feel becomes sharper with the improvement of self-confidence.

Wade's breakthrough speed was very fast, but he didn't expect that Wagner's speed was not slow either!

Wagner, who has been completely raised successfully, has completely gotten rid of the troubles of injuries. Now, he is the talented boy who scored 100 points in high school!

Under Wagner's entanglement, Wade's reluctant breakthrough was blocked by the back row, and James pressed his hands on the backboard.

Odom's missed throw from the basket was slapped to the ground by Big Z.

The Cavaliers also started to work hard on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, James once again mentioned going online.

Shentong encountered tight double-teaming.

There were no good opportunities for observation, so James did it himself.

Jones only felt that there was a moving hill in front of him, and he could not stop James' progress at all.

Move forward, move forward!

James knocked Jones away, took big steps, faced Grant's block, and succeeded in picking up the basket with his right hand.

It wasn't until the referee's whistle sounded that James realized that Odom had committed a foul just now.

Odom raised his swollen right hand and said to the referee: "He obviously hit my hand. Look at my hand. That was not a foul just now."

The referee stared at Odom's palm and said, "Lamar, I didn't expect that your face is thicker than the calluses on your hands."

Odom's face turned red and he stopped talking.

James hit the free throw.

Although the Heat changed the team's lineup and defensive tactics in the second half, the Cavaliers immediately made targeted moves.

James mentioned that the support from the line made the Heat's pressing tactics in vain.

Especially when Wade is on the line guarding James.

James stood up straight and raised the ball with both hands. Wade's head was at the same height as James' armpits.

The taste is sour and refreshing

Wade had to have big cheeks to store more oxygen, otherwise he would have fainted on the spot.

The overall view and coordination allowed the Cavaliers' offense to still proceed smoothly.

Cavaliers attack.

Big Z came out from the inside to cover for James.

With the ball in hand, James broke through and was intercepted by Butler and Wade.

He looked back at the moon, but Jones was stuck in front of Shentong.

Gentleman's connection is blocked.

However, they overlooked one person.

DaJuan Wagner came on as a substitute.

James' return pass found Wagner on the outside, and the guy quickly rushed to the basket under the gaze of everyone in the Heat.

When Grant was just getting ready to take off and block the shot, Wagner had already completed a layup.

The ball hits the board and bounces into the basket.

"Cleveland doesn't just have Shentong and LeBron, there's also me, DaJuan!"

In the second season of his career, Wagner finally rediscovered his glorious moments in high school!

"drop--"

The full-time whistle sounded.

The Cavaliers' home court, Gund Arena, burst into violent cheers of celebration.

The Cleveland Cavaliers won their first game, easily defeating the Heat 98-83.

Shentong scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, James scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and Wagner scored 13 points and 7 assists.

For the Heat, although Wade scored 20 points and 5 rebounds, he only hit 9 goals in 27 shots.

Odom scored a near-triple-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, but was unable to change the outcome of the game.

Judging from the first game, it should not be difficult for the Cavaliers to get through the Heat.

Although Shentong scored a game-high 30 points in this game, the key figures in winning the game were James as a temporary point guard and Wagner as a substitute.

James mentioned that the organization on the line broke the Heat's tactics, and Wagner's third point made the Heat's defense focus on one thing and the other.

Although Boozer, who scored 12 points and 8 rebounds, felt offended, he didn't say anything. After all, his opponent Odom almost had a triple-double.

During the interview, Wade was full of praise for his friend and rival James.

"A guy who is clearly in the jungle position, but he's out of stock and always sneaks up on the middle, how can he hit the ball?" Wade said in an interview with reporters, "LeBron can hit any position on the court. His point guard tactics really surprised us, and his breakthrough speed and intensity were much stronger than the last time we met. I originally thought we had a good chance of winning this game, but We lost. We will sum up our experience and prepare seriously for the next game. Only by treating every game as the last one can we have hope."

Wade seems to have clearly seen the gap between the strength of the two teams through this game.

On the same day that the Cavaliers defeated the Heat, other games were also in full swing.

The Rockets, where Yao Ming plays, suffered a disastrous 78-97 away defeat to the Lakers.

They were beaten 25-9 by the Lakers in the third quarter.

Yao Ming played 32 minutes and scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks. His opposite O'Neal scored 12 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks.

Jim Jackson scored 17 points, Francis scored 16 points, and Mobley also scored 16 points.

For the Lakers, Kobe was showing off his power.

He played 41 minutes, made 12 of 21 shots, scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals. He was the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory.

After the game, Barkley pointed directly at the Rockets bench.

"The Rockets' main lineup can compete with the Lakers, but the gap on the bench is really too big. If the Rockets want to play a few more games with the Lakers, someone on their bench must be able to step up."
