The Godfather of Basketball

The Cavaliers go first.

The fans didn't buy it, and the boos didn't stop.

But the players on the field don't care about this. After James went to the frontcourt to get the ball, he asked Wallace to pick and roll, and after breaking it, he rushed to Lewis.

The Magic didn't double-team.

It can be seen that Stan Van Gundy studied the Cavaliers' first-round game well and let Lewis go one-on-one with James.

Lewis is the former Sonics dual-core, Mr. Billionaire. His strength and experience are obviously much better than the previous Gibson or Brad Miller. Now he is facing James, and the disadvantage is not particularly big.

James turned to the basket and shot, Lewis interfered, and the ball slid out of the basket.

The ball bounces toward where Howard is.

There was a burst of cheers.

As long as Lewis can guard James, Howard's advantage at the basket will be infinitely magnified.

However, Howard did not jump up.

At this time, O'Neill's whole body was on top of him, and it was a little difficult for him to reach out.

James quickly jumped again after landing, grabbed the offensive rebound and then went up to cause Lewis' thug foul.

Howard turned to the referee to complain, but the referee ignored him.

O'Neal didn't commit any obvious fouls just now.

James went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

The Cavaliers took the lead.

The Magic served in the backcourt, and Beverly pressed Nelson.

Nelson didn't have the same ability as Rose, and he was forced enough. He relied on Carter to come over and respond before passing the ball to the half court.

At this time, Howard went straight down and asked for the ball with his back.

When he first entered the league, he was bullied badly by O'Neal, but now he is at his peak, and O'Neal is old.

According to his thinking, a veteran should have the consciousness to be a veteran!

He took the ball hard, turned and turned and hooked, and directly shook O'Neal to make a shot.

But at this moment, O'Neal pushed him, and the ball flew directly over the basket.

"beep!"

The referee blew his whistle, indicating that O'Neill's push was fouled.

Howard's two free throw opportunities.

Howard was a little upset, arguing loudly with the referee, wanting a technical foul from O'Neal.

The referee ignored it. Although O'Neill pushed, the range was well controlled, and it was completely incompatible with dangerous moves.

Howard got angry and went to the free throw line, and steadily missed two free throws.

O'Neal accepted the defensive rebound and passed it to James.

The Magic retreated quickly at this time, and Stan Van Gundy did work hard not to give the Cavaliers a fast break.

The Cavaliers still played in the frontcourt. James didn't have a good chance to face Lewis after the pick-and-roll. He returned the ball to Wallace outside, and Wallace gave Matthews a rush. Missed three points.

O'Neill also pressed Howard.

Howard exploded directly.

He directly elbowed O'Neill with a sudden force, and then pushed him away forcefully.

"beep!"

The referee immediately blew his whistle, signaling Howard's technical foul.

There was booing.

The Cavaliers got a free throw.

Tang Tian stroked his chin thoughtfully at this moment.

Open the game to grab jumps, grab rebounds to press people, and push people to foul.

The O'Neal in his impression didn't play like this, and he even disdained playing like this. It should be Rasheed Wallace who played like this.

But it seems that the chat between O'Neill and Wallace on the plane seemed plain, but O'Neill should care.

Everyone will grow old, but some people can't let it go, and some people can't let it go.

O'Neill is nicknamed "Shark", and he must have some arrogance. It is inevitable that his ability will deteriorate when he gets old, but he does not want to admit defeat.

Those outside the scope of the rules are called playing dirty, and those within the scope are experience.

The old O'Neill played this way at the beginning, making it clear that he wanted to anger Howard.

Now he has succeeded.

Howard was directly replaced by Van Gundy and calmed down.

As soon as Howard was off the court, the Cavaliers' inside disadvantage disappeared instantly, and the game became the Cavaliers' performance time.

After the first quarter, the Cavaliers lead the Magic 27-19.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Van Gundy replaced Howard again.

Magic possession of the ball.

Howard hit Brown with his back after receiving the ball, moved his feet continuously, and was pushed away by Brown.

The referee blew Brown's foul.

Howard's expression was not too turbulent at this time. It could be seen that he had finally calmed down after sitting off the court for nearly a quarter.

He made two free throws and played normally.

The game played for a while, and the calm Howard completely suppressed Brown and played again, showing his dominance in the interior, and the Magic also caught up with the score a little bit.

After playing for more than two minutes in the second quarter, they have already brought the score closer to 25 to 29.

"Coach, let me go." O'Neill took the initiative to walk to Tang Tian's side again at this time.

Tang Tian nodded and called James to follow suit.

Howard's shot caused Brown's third personal foul, and the game entered dead time. The Cavaliers replaced Brown and Ryan Anderson with James and O'Neal, playing a small lineup.

As soon as O'Neal came on the field, there were sporadic boos at the scene.

It can be seen that they are still very unhappy with the way the old Sharks played in the first quarter.

Howard continued to make two free throws.

O'Neal pressed Bass to grab a defensive rebound.

Louis Williams pushed the ball into the frontcourt. He reached out to find James for a pick-and-roll.

James sped past Anthony Johnson, who was switching defenses, and went straight to the basket.

Howard came out to help defend, and Bass also shrank to the basket for the first time, preventing James from passing the ball to O'Neal under the basket.

The Magic's defensive response this time is very good.

James had no better choice and threw a throw at Howard.

Howard put a lot of pressure, and the angle of the shot was a bit forward.

"boom!"

The ball was obviously short and bounced out of the front of the basket.

Bass jumped up at the basket to collect the defensive rebound.

But at this moment, a dark figure appeared directly in front of him.

"Boom!"

O'Neal jumped up and dunked the ball through Bass!

The referee also blew his whistle to signal Bath's blocking foul!

2+1!

There was an uproar at the scene.

this!

Van Gundy on the sidelines was dumbfounded, how could the old O'Neal still make such a dunk? !

After the dunk, O'Neal was also very excited. He slammed on the basket, bending the basket several centimeters. After landing, he clenched his hands into fists and roared excitedly at the sidelines.

James was also excited at this time, and he ran over and bumped chests with O'Neill, and yelled at him.

At this time, the scene gave a replay of the dunk just now, and the fans were in an uproar again.

The violent rise after the center of gravity sank made people recall O'Neal's appearance when he was playing at his peak. The shark entered the bottom of the basket and ran rampant!

He can play very "experienced", but he can also tyrannize the basket!

The buckle just now is worthy of the name of a shark!
