The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Chapter 562 LeBron Gradually Collapses

Lin Dong broke into the restricted area in the front court and attacked Wade.

Although Wade's condition had been adjusted to an excellent state, as if he had entered the state 3, and his defense was no problem, almost completely sticking to Lin Dong's side, Lin Dong leaned back greatly, facing Wade's big hand that blocked his view of the basket from beginning to end, and sent the ball steadily.

The basketball bounced on the basket three or four times.

The ball went in, 15:2.

Wade's face showed a helpless expression.

This is Lin Dong.

I felt that he was unstoppable during the World Youth Championship that year, and today, five years later, although I have made great progress, I still feel the same when facing him, and even feel that I play more easily and more steadily than before.

Not only Wade, but also O'Neal, Kidd and others who did not participate in the defense this time, all had the same feeling deep in their hearts at this time.

Everyone can see that Lin Dong's sneak attack just now seemed simple, but in fact it was a psychological warfare that had been brewing for a long time.

This psychological warfare is aimed at LeBron on one hand, which is of course the biggest part, but it is also aimed at Wade on the other hand.

Wade gave a warning in advance in the last ball, but LeBron was distracted and lost the ball, so this time Wade felt Lin Dong's intention and just chased after him. In addition, seeing that LeBron was ready to shoot, he predicted that Lin Dong's block time would not be enough, so he did not give a warning, fearing that it would affect LeBron's performance.

But who knew that LeBron's vigilance was too poor this time, and for some reason, he actually paused deliberately.

... To be honest, this is because the people in the Cavaliers know LeBron well enough, know what he has paid for today, and what he is looking forward to. Otherwise, if someone else came, just based on the ball just now, there would be enough reason to suspect that he was playing a fixed game.

This is the psychological warfare of the Supersonics...LeBron is taken!

The morale of the Cavaliers feels like it has fallen to the bottom, and Kidd and Laney are undoubtedly more melancholy.

Although both of them were thinking that as long as the Cavaliers' score difference did not widen to 20 points, it was still worth a try to "save" LeBron's state by selling blood, but to be honest, both of them felt that it was very likely that LeBron would be difficult to return to normal.

Lanny had no choice but to call a timeout.

It was not about arranging any tactics. With the current personnel configuration of the Cavaliers, they could not find a replacement for LeBron, nor could they arrange new tactics to target this Supersonics. They could only play the double towers to the end, and at the same time hope that they could play the effect that the double towers should have.

The timeout was just to let LeBron calm down...

"It's okay! We knew the strength of the Supersonics from the beginning. In this game, we were already in the position of challengers! What's more, we were behind 0:3. We were already in a very difficult state of adjustment. It doesn't matter if we lose at the beginning!"

"Hold on! Find your own state! The hidden danger of the Supersonics has not appeared yet. Payton will soon lose his fighting power. His physical strength is not enough to support him to maintain such a high-intensity confrontation throughout the game. Jason, attack O'Neal first. As long as Chandler's fouls continue to accumulate, as long as Chandler and Payton are driven out of the game, we still have a chance to catch up!"

Lanni kept talking, of course he would not attack LeBron, and even let Kidd focus on O'Neal to make Chandler foul.

All the topics were to avoid LeBron from suffering secondary damage and to prevent his further collapse of faith.

It's a pity that this coquettish eye was thrown to a blind man.

LeBron was not listening at all. It was not that he did not want to listen, but there was a constant buzzing sound in his ears, his whole body was trembling, his scalp was numb, and his whole body felt cold. He could not concentrate at all.

Really? Fake? Really? Fake?

What is real? What is fake?

This question is probably something that even an ordinary three-year-old child can answer in the simplest and most straightforward way, but at this moment, it became a fatal question for LeBron.

When he thinks it is real, the other party must be fake, and when he thinks it is fake, the other party is real.

He did not think this was some kind of psychological warfare, that he had lost his calm judgment, or that the other party was deliberately guiding him, but he felt as if there was a big hand controlling everything in the dark...

It was as if God wanted him to lose on purpose!

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Damn the Supersonics, damn the red-haired monkey, damn Lin Dong, damn God!

LeBron was in a mess.

He didn't even know when the timeout ended, and he didn't even know that the Cavaliers had called a timeout just now.

He just felt confused and followed his teammates to the bench, then clapped his hands in a daze, shouted something with his teammates, and then followed everyone back to the court in a daze.

His face was livid, and he felt that he seemed to be very calm. He was observing everything from the perspective of a bystander, but he just couldn't "put" himself into his body, as if he couldn't control it, as if it had become "read-only".

The ball was back in the hands of the Cavaliers.

The feeling of being a bystander was still there, and it was very strong. LeBron on the court occupied the waist position as usual, as if he was just following his body instincts.

But this time, Kidd didn't pass the ball to him, but to O'Neal in the interior.

O'Neal singled out Chandler, and Chandler fouled as usual, but the Big Shark didn't have the same luck as before in free throws.

He missed both free throws.

Sakuragi Hanamichi easily grabbed the rebound under the basket, and the ball was passed to Payton to organize a fast break, while Lin Dong was already running in front.

This classic god combination formed since Lin Dong came to the Supersonics ignited the passion of the stadium with a perfect aerial relay.

But no matter how loud the noise was, it could not affect LeBron's inner "calmness" at this time.

His reaction seemed to have slowed down, which was very awkward. The perspective of a "spectator" should be God's perspective, should react quickly, and have a thorough understanding of the occupation of the court.

But he only remembered it at this time.

Just now, he was clearly in the waist position, but Kidd passed it to O'Neal?

Was it because he was not active enough just now? Was it because he didn't ask for the ball? Because he was distracted just now?

The memory is not very clear, maybe it was because he was distracted.

Focus! Focus on the game!

He said to himself.

The Cavaliers had the ball, and as usual, the twin towers stood in a small space. LeBron thought that he might have been distracted just now and didn't get the ball. This time, he was much more active. He just stood in position and saw Kidd coming over, and immediately made a move to ask for the ball from him.

After all, O'Neal missed two free throws just now, and Kidd wanted to slow down. Besides, the purpose of Lanny's arrangement to focus on O'Neal was not only to cause damage to Chandler, but also to calm LeBron down and give him more buffer time, otherwise Lanny would have directly replaced LeBron.

The Cavaliers needed him after all.

Since he saw that LeBron seemed to be much calmer and took the initiative to ask for the ball, Kidd chose to trust and passed the ball to LeBron again.

Hmm? The ball is in my hands.

But in LeBron's feeling, it seemed that the 'key frame' was lost again. It was obviously him who asked for the ball, but he didn't notice when Kidd passed the ball to him.

It doesn't matter, just score a goal, don't be fooled by Lin Dong and Sakuragi Hanamichi's poor acting skills again!

At this time, facing the defense of Sakuragi Hanamichi behind him, he started to fight purely out of physical instinct, then turned around, controlled the ball, leaned back, and made a jump shot.

At this moment, he really forgot about the threat of Lin Dong, and didn't care about what was behind him, but... in the same way, he also forgot to "care about what was in front of him".

When his body instinctively leaned back and jumped up, he was shocked to find that the ball was not in his hands.

LeBron looked to the side in surprise, but found that it was Sakuragi Hanamichi who grabbed the ball from his hands at the moment he passed it.

At this time, Wade, Lin Dong, Payton and Kidd all rushed to the ball at the same time, and everyone was almost the same distance from the ball, but luck seemed to be on the side of the Supersonics today.

Payton was the slowest, but he was the first to grab the ball.

Payton passed the ball back to Sakuragi Hanamichi who was missed by LeBron, and LeBron's defense was obviously a beat slower. Larry Hughes next to him had to make up for it, but Sakuragi Hanamichi made a long pass and threw it to Iguodala who had already run to the front court.

Iguodala ran to the front three-point line to pick up the ball and easily scored an empty blue.

17:2.

But LeBron's reaction at this time was just to the scene of being cut.

It was Sakuragi Hanamichi again, why is this guy still haunting!

Anger began to brew, filling his mind which was "running slowly" at this time, but anger is something that "runs slower", and it will exist for a longer time.

And the more fatal result is that you can't vent it.

Because the matter has passed, who can you vent it to? Don't even mention finding someone to vent it to. Even if you want to vent it yourself and want to yell, you can't yell it out. After all, in the eyes of the audience, yelling for no reason is crazy, isn't it?

You can only hold it in!

The Cavaliers' ball.

As usual, LeBron asked for the ball at the waist. He really didn't notice the tactical arrangement that Lanny said before, and he didn't know that the Cavaliers' current first choice for inside attack was O'Neal.

Kidd frowned, feeling that LeBron was a little too excited, so he didn't dare to give him the ball, but gave it to O'Neal.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's double-team was a little slow, but it was okay if he didn't come over, after all, Chandler could foul. When he came over, Chandler saw the opportunity to double-team, but was a beat slower, and was forced to eat by O'Neal, who jumped on the spot under the basket and dunked.

17:4, the Cavaliers got a little blood back, but it was not important, but it brought LeBron's inner anger.

Don't pass it to me?

I clearly stood in the right position and asked Kidd for the ball, but he didn't pass it to me?

What does it mean? Just because I didn't make the shot just now? Just because the ball was intercepted by someone because of carelessness?

While he was still thinking about this, the Supersonics' counterattack had already scored.

Frankly speaking, Lin Dong could feel that Wade's defensive state has been improving. This guy is the type who gets stronger when facing a strong opponent. When the zone is turned on, he is fully focused, and has a bit of the innocent feeling of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

This guy is too simple and easily led astray by his friends, but his heart is truly focused on basketball. He is a player of the same type as Kobe and Jordan.

The previous defense was in a state of not losing position, and this defense actually made Lin Dong feel a little threatened, full of momentum.

It's a pity... Lin Dong had the opportunity to pass the ball to an open position outside, but facing Wade's sudden outbreak and the sudden challenger, frankly speaking, he was just excited.

Get stronger when facing a strong opponent?

Sorry, me too...

A completely unreasonable mid-range jump shot, the ball went in, which attracted cheers from the audience, and many fans actually gave Wade their applause.

——The No. 23 on the opposite side is also good. The boss of single defense did not lose his position on these two balls.

——This is the first time I have seen someone dare to guard Lin Lin alone. Kobe did this last time, but I felt that he was not as good at guarding as Wade.

——It’s useless to be on guard. Didn’t the boss get in?

——Hahaha, after all he is the boss, after all he is King Lin, after all he is the god of basketball!

Knight's ball.

But at this time, in addition to applause, cheers and screams, the whole place was filled with discussions about Lin Dong and Wade...

LeBron, who stood at his waist again, felt even more irritable inside, and anger had already crawled onto his face.

——This is my G4...this is my arena...this is my turnaround, this is my game!

--How could this be! How could they do this to themselves? !

——Ball right! I want the ball! Give it to me!

With a flushed face and fierce eyes, he was glaring at Kidd.

But who is Jason Kidd? Will a former superstar who is destined to be a Hall of Famer care about your 'threat' after retirement?

The more he was in this state, the less Kidd dared to pass it to him.

Uh-huh!

Kidd threw the ball to O'Neal and looked at LeBron with stern eyes, as if telling him: Calm down!

But this time O'Neal couldn't feel comfortable in the paint, because Sakuragi Hanamichi had already flanked him early, obviously seeing through Kidd's passing intention in advance.

In a two-to-one double-team, O'Neal actually suffered no loss against either of the two, and he was even more dominant against Chandler, but facing two of them at the same time was quite difficult.

These two people have been working together to fight against all the powerful insiders in the league since the day they partnered. They cooperate so skillfully and have such a tacit understanding that when they become one, no center in the world can compete with them on their own, no matter what. Is it O'Neal, Yao Ming or Duncan!

Fortunately, the tactical system is like this. If O'Neal attracts a double-team inside, then the ball is given to LeBron.

O'Neal, who was focused on the game, did not disappoint Lanny this time. With only a slight push, he threw the ball in the direction of LeBron and shouted: "LeBron!"

It's a pity that LeBron's inner world is completely out of the game at this time.

He stared at me? Are you fucking glaring at me? !

LeBron looked at Kidd in disbelief.

As the first point of attack designated by Lenny before the game, he took the initiative to ask him for the ball, twice!

But, not only did he not pass it even once, but he was glaring at me? !

Does this guy look down on me? This guy……

Bang!

The basketball hit his back and bounced off. LeBron only came to his senses at this moment and turned around subconsciously, but the ball had already been caught by Sakuragi Hanamichi who came back from behind.

"Farke!" O'Neal yelled angrily: "LeBron, what are you doing!"

In fact, he has always been unhappy with LeBron. After all, after coming to the Cavaliers, O'Neal thought that he was the boss. However, various media and even the atmosphere within the team, including the younger generation who account for more people in this Cavaliers, also depend more on the attitude of the boss. Kidd, Artest and other elites all agree that LeBron is the boss.

It was because of this dispute that he left the Lakers and Wizards back then, and now he's here again?

Frankly speaking, O'Neal has restrained himself a lot this season in the Cavaliers. After all, he knows that he is old and cannot accept his old age. In addition, LeBron's respect for him has always been very useful to him, so he has no tolerance for this matter. The past was vague, but before this game, LeBron's speech and initiative to "take the blame" moved him very much, and he convinced himself that he might as well be on an equal footing with him.

However, after finally accepting all this, this guy behaved like this?
