Chapter 384 You and I have different definitions of strength

"Bang!"

Nash and Howard played a pick-and-roll tactic on the wing, and after breaking through, they passed the ball back. Josh Howard missed a three-pointer in a small open position.

Drew Gooden grabbed the backcourt rebound and the Cavaliers attacked.

LeBron James tried to make a fast break, rushing downfield with the ball like a tank at full speed.

He Zhongqiu ran back to defend and easily followed LeBron James. When he dunked in the air, he also jumped up from behind.

When the Little Emperor first entered the league, his jumping ability was better than He Zhongqiu's. He Zhongqiu had to rely on his wingspan and height advantages to have a chance to block him.

But now, four seasons later, when He Zhongqiu jumped in the air, he was a head taller than the little emperor in front of him.

"Snapped!"

When the little emperor raised his right hand holding the ball high and was about to chop it down violently, He Zhongqiu clasped his hands together and grabbed the basketball.

"what?"

When the little emperor chopped down with all his might, his hand was empty. With a clang, his empty right hand hit the basket.

"Oh ho!"

The whole stadium was on fire and countless Knicks fans cheered non-stop.

"Crack, click, click..."

After the baseline, the flash lights suddenly lit up.

"Hunting block! Wolverine confiscated the basketball from LeBron James."

"Young man, did you get his permission to smash Wolverine's basket on his territory?"

The roars of live commentators Bingo Boris and Harry Coster also resounded over Madison Square Garden.

He Zhongqiu passed the ball to Nash, then ran slowly towards the frontcourt.

Boris analyzed: "Big Z and Drew Gooden are a hundred blocks behind Wolverine in speed. Wolverine just broke the 10-second mark and has a lot of stamina. He can definitely use fast breaks to blow up the Knights."

"But the Cavaliers are not qualified to let Wolverine play fast breaks, which is one of Wolverine's strongest states." Koster said.

"Ha ha……"

The entire Madison Square Garden was silent, and then burst into laughter.

The Cavaliers were humiliated in person. They were angry but also very frustrated because the commentator was right and their morale quickly dissipated.

He Zhongqiu came to the outside of the left waist position, without forcefully maneuvering for the position or asking for the ball.

Nash broke through from the right wing with the help of a pick-and-roll, and when he reached the right waist position, he attracted Drew Gooden's help defense. At this time, He Zhongqiu took the opportunity to bypass Big Z and cut inside quickly.

Nash pushed the ball inwards suddenly, and the basketball bounced off Drew Gooden's feet and fell into the hands of He Zhongqiu who was cutting in.

The next moment, He Zhongqiu flew up and there was no one under the basket.

"boom!"

"Oh ho!"

Madison Square Garden was in an uproar after his powerful tomahawk slam dunk.

2:4, the Cavaliers attack.

LeBron James repeated his old trick, breaking through with the ball on the left wing, preparing to knock Josh Howard away before shooting a long two-pointer.

The huge impact force violently crushed Josh Howard, who was knocked to the ground.

The referee did not blow the whistle, thinking it was a normal confrontation.

The next moment, with the sharp sound of sneakers rubbing against each other, He Zhongqiu took the opportunity to make up for the defense and poked the basketball that James pulled up with his big hand.

"So fast!"

LeBron James was startled and quickly turned around to protect the ball, while pulling the ball back with his right hand, then turning around with the ball.

"Turn around and fade away jump shot!"

shouted Bingo Boris, the live commentator.

Unfortunately, James's technique was average, and before he could fully shoot the ball, He Zhongqiu held it down with one hand and pushed him back to the floor with the ball.

He Zhongqiu's five fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed the ball directly from James' hands.

"Beautiful! Blocked shot! Wolverine blocked LeBron James for the second time..." the live commentator Harry Coster shouted excitedly.

One step inside the three-point line in the left elbow area, He Zhongqiu personally held the ball and made a fast break. James tried hard to catch up from behind, but he just couldn't catch up.

James was a little frustrated. Apart from basketball, the sport he most wanted to participate in was 4x100 meters because his 10.6-meter result was seconds.

But now compared with He Zhongqiu, he runs a little slowly.

Another thing that frustrated him was being blocked by Wolverine one step inside the three-point line.

With Wolverine's jumping ability and terrifying speed, that means that no area, including outside the three-point line, is safe as everyone is within Wolverine's sweeping range.

"boom!"

He Zhongqiu rushed to the frontcourt and took off directly from the right end of the free throw line. Like an eagle spreading its wings, he glided in the air for several meters, and then ended the fast break with a tomahawk slam dunk.

"Oh!"

The cheers from the audience were earth-shaking, and tens of thousands of people cheered.

Two minutes later, 4:8, the Cavaliers attacked.

After being blocked by Wolverine continuously, LeBron James, who had not taken a shot for two rounds, took another shot.

This time, he deliberately attacked with the ball on the right wing and singled out Nash.

But when he received the ball, He Zhongqiu had already switched defense with Mourning, and then when he started his attack, he rushed to the right elbow area.

James saw Wolverine coming again and was afraid of being blocked again, so he immediately shot a three-pointer.

Nash stretched out his hand, defended with his eyes, and did not jump up.

He Zhongqiu didn't have time to rush over because James' shot was very fast, so he immediately turned around and returned to defend the basket.

"Bang!"

The three-pointer missed, and Big Z and Drew Gooden were two on one under the basket, suppressing Mourning so that he couldn't get out, and then Big Z grabbed the offensive rebound.

Mourning was blocked by Drew Gooden and could only watch Big Z make a layup.

But just when Big Z jumped for the second time, He Zhongqiu had already returned to the basket and grabbed the ball with his big hands.

"Beautiful! Wolverine blocked Big Z. This is his third block in the first quarter," the commentator Boris shouted excitedly. "Wolverine's speed in returning to defense is very fast!" Harry Kosko laughed.

At this time, Nash took advantage of Josh Howard's pick-and-roll to break through with the ball, attracted the defense and then passed the ball back to Howard. Howard took a three-pointer in a small open space, which was very decisive.

"brush!"

A splash appeared and a three-pointer was made.

"4:11, the Cavaliers are trailing by 7 points," said Hubie Brown.

Bill Walton said: "Wolverine has already blocked three shots in less than four minutes. This will seriously damage the morale of the Cavaliers and may cause no one to dare to shoot again."

At this time, the Cavaliers' ball reached the frontcourt. LeBron James broke through with the ball on the left wing, attracted He Zhongqiu's defense, and quickly passed the ball.

Big Z was blocked at the basket just now, so even though Big Z and Drew Gooden were in a two-on-one situation at the basket again, he did not pass the ball to the basket.

Larry Hughes ran from the top of the key to the left wing, running behind James.

Just when James pushed Josh Howard away, He Zhongqiu had already got in front of him, and then he noticed Larry Hughes' running position.

The next moment, James passed the ball behind his back.

At this moment, He Zhongqiu instantly exerted force with his feet, took the first step past James, and then immediately jumped up.

"what?"

Larry Hughes just jumped from the three-point line and saw that the space in front of him was blocked, so he could only force a three-pointer.

"Take it!"

He Zhongqiu used his Eagle Claw skill to grab the basketball accurately.

"Oh!"

Countless Knicks fans roared with excitement.

"4th block!"

Bill Walton exclaimed: "There are only four minutes in the first quarter, and the Wolverines' defensive performance is terrible. He has already blocked four shots.

One block per minute, how many blocks will he have per game if he keeps playing like this? He may have destroyed the Cavaliers' willpower."

Bill Walton was right. In the next game, whoever He Zhongqiu pounced on would not have the courage to shoot.

They could only pass the ball in a panic, which resulted in a lot of mistakes.

He Zhongqiu didn't get as many blocks in the following game as he did in the previous few minutes, but with his terrifying defensive performance, he prevented the Cavaliers from making 21 turnovers throughout the game.

Moreover, 70% of these mistakes were made from the outside, all of which were caused when He Zhongqiu was sweeping the area outside the restricted area.

As the leader of the Cavaliers, James had no choice but to shoot since his teammates didn't dare to do so.

He Zhongqiu blocked 14 shots in the first three quarters, 9 of which were on James alone.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were leading by 31 points with a score of 41:72.

Boris, the commentator on the scene, shouted excitedly: "Congratulations, LeBron James, you set a personal record of being blocked 9 times by the same person in a single game. In addition, it seems that the previous record was also you, and it was also blocked by Wolverine."

“Haha…” The whole audience burst into laughter.

Harry Coster said with some regret: "The score difference is too big, Wolverine will not play again, which also prevents him from breaking the single-game block records of 15 and 17 times."

But Boris said, "No, Harry, this is the playoffs, you are talking about the regular season record."

Koster laughed and nodded, "I was just about to say that. Yes, with 14 blocks, Wolverine broke the record of 10 blocks in a single playoff game set by Dream and himself."

The Cavaliers surrendered, and both teams replaced their lineups with full substitutes in the final quarter. In the end, the Knicks won by 28 points and won the second round G1 game.

贺中秋三节只打了30分钟，拿到38分14篮板2助攻2抢断14盖帽的超级三双数据。

After the game, Zhang Heli said excitedly in front of CCTV cameras: "The Cavaliers are already a very strong team in the Eastern Conference, but they still lost miserably to the Knicks, which shows how strong the Knicks are and how strong the Mid-Autumn Festival is.

The Knicks defeated the Cavaliers in just three quarters. In fact, they didn't need three quarters as they were already defeated in the first quarter and had no fighting spirit.

However, the Knicks cannot be careless. After all, two key players are unable to play and the rotation lineup is somewhat insufficient.

It is best to play like we did today, defeating the opponent in the first three quarters and not giving them a chance to compete with physical strength, rotation lineup, or lineup depth.

In the end, I wish the Knicks a sweep into the Eastern Conference Finals, haha!"

The Cavaliers left the court, and some reporters interviewed James in the player tunnel. Someone asked, "LeBron, what do you think is the chance of the Cavaliers making it to the Eastern Conference Finals?"

James said with a serious face: "I don't know how big the chances are of entering the Eastern Conference Finals, but I believe there are chances. The game is not predetermined, and any result is possible."

"What do you think the Cavaliers are still missing?" a reporter asked.

LeBron James said expressionlessly: "We need stronger players. The current lineup is not enough. I need better helpers."

"LeBron, what do you think of Wolverine's performance today?" a reporter asked.

James glanced at the reporter, a yellow man with Chinese characters on his microphone. He asked cautiously, "Are you a Chinese reporter?"

"NO, I'm Japanese." the reporter said hurriedly.

James snorted coldly and muttered, "Didn't Wolverine not allow Japanese media to enter Madison Square Garden for interviews?"

After saying that, he left the reporters and followed his teammates.

"That's the Korean media." The Japanese reporter explained aggrievedly from behind.

However, James turned a deaf ear to it. He knew that Wolverine banned South Korea and he just didn't want to answer the questions from the Japanese reporters.

"Wolverine, the game between the Pistons and the Bulls is over, 69:95, the Bulls lost miserably." Ewing said to He Zhongqiu before he was about to be interviewed.

"It seems that the Pistons still have some strength." He Zhongqiu smiled.

In the following live interview, the ESPN reporter asked: "Wolverine, the Cavaliers are not weak. What do you think is the reason why the Cavaliers are powerless against the Knicks?"

After thinking carefully, He Zhongqiu said, "Sir, maybe you and I have different definitions of strength?"

"Haha..." Some Chinese reporters around laughed out loud.

The reporter quickly asked, "So Wolverine, do you think the Cavaliers, who are third in the Eastern Conference regular season, are weak?"

He Zhongqiu replied: "I am actually very sorry that since O'Neal got old, there has been no worthy opponent in this league.

In this era of declining center strength, I feel a little lonely. I hope that stronger center opponents will emerge, and I hope that the NCAA can cultivate more outstanding centers. "

After such arrogant words were spoken, until the next night, no center player in the entire NBA league stood up to refute it, and no media outlet came out to refute it.

Only O'Neal said in an interview with the media: "Wolverine is too crazy. I think Yao Min's three-pointer can deal with him."
