Chapter 139
"Ling played very unselfishly in the Cavaliers. He took few shots in the first quarter. He could distinguish the situation. When he was strictly guarded, he would give the ball to his teammates. When the team needed to chase points, he could stand up immediately. Come out, this is a player with a very big picture."
Kenny Smith sighed when Limbo left the field.
Mark Price echoed: "Yes, I have played in the Cavaliers for a long time, and I am also a point guard. I can't be so selfless. I like him more and more."
"Charles, what do you think is the standard for judging a star player? Ling, do you agree?"
Charles Barkley said: "Judging a player, whether he has reached the standard of a star player, does not depend on how many years he has played or how long he has been in the NBA.
It depends on his stats, his contribution to the team, his performance against strong teams and stronger opponents, and more importantly, the degree of fans' support for him. "
Mark Price said: "In terms of statistics, he averaged a double-double per game and has always been in the top ten in scoring, top three in assists, and top three in steals. This data should be no problem."
Charles Barkley said: "Of course, he has entered the NBA less than a year, and he has entered the ranks of star players."
Kenny Smith: "In this year's All-Star voting, I will definitely give Ling a vote."
The commentators kept chatting, but it was because the game didn't attract much attention. After Ling Bo left the field, Paul Silas didn't let James play, making it clear that he was saving energy and preparing for the second half.
When Ling Bo came off the field, the score was 31 to 34, but at the end of the half, the score was 40 to 48. Obviously, in the confrontation between the substitutes, the Spurs had an absolute advantage.
Naturally, there was a different atmosphere at the Christmas scene. The knight cheerleaders were dressed in a big red chest, showing their belly, and their lower body was a red skirt. They performed a hot dance, feasting the eyes of the audience.
Especially Xia Liu and Carlos Boozer, who were sitting on the sidelines and commenting. These two people looked so wretched. They would say that their breasts were big, and their buttocks would be slender.
Xia Liu and Boozer really didn't meet each other so late, they made an appointment to have a couple of drinks in the evening, and they went to find two hot girls by the way.
Xia Liu doesn't have much money. He's not like an NBA player who pays for a million-dollar contract. He's just a student. Boozer patted his chest proudly, and I will pay for all the expenses tonight.
And Jiang Chaoxue in the auditorium didn't care to watch the cheerleading performance at all. He kept staring at the player tunnel, feeling that the intermission time was getting longer and longer.
Inside the Knight's Lounge
When encountering a strong team, or a game where the score is behind and there is no hope in sight, the lounge is always lifeless.
"Ling, how will we play in the second half?" The bald hunk Big Z was the first to ask.
"To be honest, this game is quite difficult, and I have no way to start." Ling Bo said.
"Fighting?" James asked.
Ling Bo thought for a while and said: "Manu and Parker's movement speed is not slow, plus Bruce Bowen is a better defender, the success rate of the fast break is not high."
Eric Williams said: "It's not good to play positional warfare. Duncan is inside and has no chance."
Kevin Ollie said: "Day, there is no chance, that won't work, should I surrender?"
Just as Ling Bo was about to speak, the Cavaliers coaching staff walked in.
"Guys, we're in trouble," Mark Osorski said.
Paul Silas said: "We tried our best to play pick-and-roll cooperation in the second half, but Carlos was not there, otherwise he could take on this important task."
"Ling, LeBron, the two of you are still the hope of the whole team. Your cooperation in the second half is crucial. Everyone will cooperate with you to complete the offense, but you must be clear about the offensive point. After the pick-and-roll, you will inevitably enter the inside fight."
Ling Bo and James nodded and looked at each other, seeing the firmness in each other's eyes.
Mark Osorsky said: "Ling, you have to overcome yourself. I know you have always been afraid of Duncan's blocking. You have only watched his game and have not played against him. So I think you have to try. , this game your biggest enemy is not the San Antonio Spurs, but yourself."
Osorsky's words were like a slap in the face, enlightening his mind, and made Ling Bo finally understand why the fight was so depressing and timid.
The biggest enemy is not others, but yourself, because you have psychological problems.
Ling Bo has never experienced this kind of situation whether he is walking in the rivers and lakes or on the basketball court. He understands that if he does not defeat himself, maybe over time, his inner demons will grow and he will easily go crazy.
Ling Bo nodded seriously, and said, "I understand, I know what to do."
Ossowski and James patted Limbo's shoulders from left to right, and Ossowski said, "I've watched your progress, and I have a general understanding of your strength. Be brave, maybe Duncan isn't that scary. , not that strong."
It is also true, I have a body of internal strength, no matter it is brute force or ingenuity, I can crack it, my speed is still the biggest advantage, plus the subtle control of Tan Yunshou, why should I be afraid of Duncan?
"Welcome back to the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the San Antonio Spurs. The second half of the game will begin immediately." Kenny Smith said, "The two sides continued the starting lineup of the first quarter, and the much-anticipated Ling and LeBron reappeared."
Ling Bo looked at the sidelines, Jiang Chaoxue was looking at him, Ling Bo smiled slightly, Jiang Chaoxue smiled even more happily.
Before playing, Paul Silas once again emphasized defense and could not allow the Spurs to easily pass the ball inside.
Limbo's defensive center of gravity is still Tony Parker. As long as Parker is defended, the Spurs' running ball and inside cuts will be a little less threatening, which also reduces the pressure on inside players.On the defensive end, James can let go of Bowen a little bit and help Newbell to make up the defense. After all, Ginobili's scoring ability is stronger.
The game continued. At the beginning of the second half, the Cavaliers did a good job of defending against Bowen's mistake. The Cavaliers took the opportunity to launch a fast break. James intercepted the ball and quickly made a long pass. .
When people arrived and the ball arrived, Zhan Ling still had such a tacit understanding in the connection, and Ling Bo made an overhead basket again, rejuvenating the quiet stadium during the intermission.
And in the far east, those fans who stayed up all night in front of the TV and computer subconsciously cheered because of the goal.The excitement of drinking spilled all over his body, and he ignored it completely, staring at the screen. Those who secretly watched the game also slapped their thighs or tables excitedly because of the ball. When they heard the movement at home, they realized that they were too Excited, immediately quiet down.
Limbo and James smiled and clapped hands, that's what they wanted.
