The Whip of the God of Basketball - Chapter 405
Chapter 408
At 10:30 p.m. Eastern time and 6:30 p.m. Pacific time, the Clippers and Cavaliers regular season kicked off at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The game was very fierce. Although the Clippers lacked Captain Brand, they were in good condition at home. The Cavaliers’ double-high interior has also been in good condition recently. The two sides played in the first quarter.
The Cavaliers generally have the advantage of the scene and the score. LeBron James has a very good offensive organization. Ilgauskas and Gooden are constantly looking for scoring opportunities through his passing.
In comparison, the Clippers play more agilely, but the Cavaliers are really good defensively, and the Clippers take fewer shots from beyond the three-point line. The Cavaliers shrink the defense and make the Clippers’ offense a bit stagnant.
Leon looked at the two teams on the sidelines like the teams in the 1990s, attacking the inside, not shooting outside, and defensively. The more you look at it, the more uncomfortable it becomes. In Boston, even though the Celtics had the ultimate defense in the league, their three-pointers were second to none in the league. Good offense and defense are the characteristics that a championship team should have.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a genius like James once in a few decades, but their tactical choices and poor staffing are almost once in decades.
Mike Brown’s formation was not that bad, but Leon knew that if the direction was wrong at the beginning, no matter how well he did it, he would just go further and further on the wrong path.
He only hopes that his Phoenix Suns will not be on the wrong path.
The game between the two sides came to a fever in the third quarter, and the confrontation became more and more fierce. At this time LeBron James began to show his power-his offensive state was not particularly good tonight, but he can rely on his own defense. Help the team gain an advantage. By the third quarter, he had already had 5 steals.
Steals are a kind of high-value data, which is much more meaningful than rebounds, which can be picked up or stuck. Every steal can mean a successful defense and an easy counterattack to score. So in the statistics At that time, the high-level data bonus of steals is very strong.
With James’ consecutive steals, coupled with his unstoppable counterattack advancement, the Cavaliers finally established a double-digit lead in the third quarter and successfully stopped the Clippers.
On the Clippers side, veteran Sam Cassell is still helping the team to support the team. His offense feels good tonight, but the Clippers without Captain Brand are not at their peak two years ago. Their offense in the fourth quarter began to weaken.
Cassell scored 28 points on 10-for-19 shooting. The veteran is 38 years old this year. He can still play such an efficiency and contribution on offense, which has to be admired.
In the summer, Leon also considered getting the old ball from the Clippers to help Nash reduce the pressure on organization and offense, but because of his age, he does not like to shoot three-pointers and worry about pulling. With problems such as low average appearance of the team, he finally chose to be younger and play more in line with Leon’s heart, and he urgently needed to prove his Jaskovicius.
In the end, the score was fixed at 109:95, the Cavaliers first bitter and sweeter, defeated the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center and took away a victory from the West.
LeBron James scored 23 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 6 steals. He was honored as the best player of the game and was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines after the game.
Leon and Khomeinis got up and prepared to leave. Leon carefully supported the pregnant wife. Khomeinis looked at James and said, “This kid is a brainy guy. I guess he won’t be satisfied with being a Basketball star.”
Leon said: “Why do you say that?”
Khomeinis said: “He is a CAA customer, but he decides many things by himself instead of listening to the agent. I heard that he is very opinionated and started to plan his future path at a young age.”
Leon said: “This is a good thing.” Among the players in the league, James’s ability has always been valued by Leon, because he knows that as long as any team has this player, it can immediately draw one to compete for the championship. In addition to a few teams with relatively poor operational capabilities.
Unfortunately, the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of these few teams, so Leon felt that James should plan for his future.
Khomeinis said: “His plan is a bit long-term, far beyond the basketball world.”
Leon said: “Well, isn’t our plan surpassing the basketball world? Have many houses been sold?”
“You don’t need to worry about this, and I’ve talked about it with my dad. He doesn’t seem to agree with your plan very much…”
Leon had looked for his old husband, hoping that Boston would provide financial support. Leon wanted to play a big deal in the financial storm on Wall Street. But it seems that his father-in-law is not very supportive of his son-in-law. Of course it is not because Leon robbed his baby daughter, but the short-selling real estate looks a bit fanciful.
Leon had long expected such a result. It wouldn’t matter if he didn’t get the support of the Boston Consortium. He also saved a lot of money himself. By then, he was using his three-inch tongue. Glove white wolf. In this gluttonous feast of the Americans, he wants to share a piece of the pie anyway.
And he came to Los Angeles this time not only to see his wife, but also to watch a game between the Clippers and the Cavaliers, he has more important things to deal with.
After leaving Staples, Leon sent Khomeinis home first, and then drove to a bar near a hotel in Los Angeles. The night in Los Angeles is so sultry, any player who comes to play here will have to go to the nightclub here to have fun after the game.
Leon is certainly not here for fun, but to meet someone, not someone else, who is LeBron James’ good friend Rich Paul. In 2005, the young LeBron James personally fired Goodwin, the basketball agent who once brought him a billion-dollar advertising contract. Then he started to dominate his own basketball career, and Rich-Paul is a good friend of James, is James’s nominal assistant, not an agent, of course he assumes part of the agent’s duties.
Leon certainly knows this Paul ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ This guy used to be a jersey seller, but because of an accidental opportunity to get acquainted with James, he has since climbed the Phoenix branch and became a member of James’ core social circle. After James fired Goodwin, he began to act as James’ agent.
Leon easily contacted Paul through his personal connections, hoping to meet with LeBron James tonight. Leon was very polite. He called on his name to meet with Rich Paul first, and then let Paul decide if it was right. Let James see him. Leon’s attitude is very popular with black people born in the street like Paul. Besides, who is Fox Leon? The famous NBA championship coach, legendary figure.
In a certain sense, Rich Paul’s experience is very similar to Leon’s. They both became renounced halfway through without any basketball experience. From a fan to a man of the world-of course, Leon may not even be a fan in the past. .
In the private room of the bar, Leon met Rich Paul and some of his black friends. In the dim lights of the private room, Leon took out a cigar from his pocket. After coming to Khomeinis, Leon has never smoked. When Rich Paul saw this, he hesitated for a moment, but took out a lighter and stepped forward to light Leon’s cigar.
