NBA's Super Troublemaker

Chapter 86 Just Two More Steps and You're Back in Cleveland (Please Subscribe!)

The holiday is paused.

Cavaliers coach Paul Silas is under a lot of pressure.

Since their big loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, the team seems to be under a curse, performing poorly and currently ranking 10th in the Eastern Conference.

Judging from the first quarter of this game...

The Trail Blazers completely dominated the Cavaliers, leaving them breathless.

Coach Paul Silas gave instructions and encouragement to the players.

LeBron James plays 5.6 minutes more per game than Hansen Lee.

Hopefully, LeBron can use this time to lead the team in a comeback.

The second quarter begins.

After resting for only two minutes, James immediately returned to the court.

Since the Trail Blazers still held a lead, Coach Morris chose to let Li He rest for a while longer.

James, who had a poor performance in the first quarter, was indeed quick to adjust.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers launched a comeback by repeatedly attacking the basket and scoring.

Li He was substituted on with 6 minutes remaining in the second quarter.

Inside the Rose Garden Arena, fans cheered and applauded wildly.

They came to the event specifically to see Hansen Lee!

As soon as he entered the game, Li He played very proactively.

With the help of Rasheed Wallace's screen, he broke through and passed the ball to Little Mouse, assisting the latter to hit a three-pointer.

"Hansen Lee! His passing ability is also improving!"

"That damn rate of improvement, it's so enviable!"

"Hansen Lee is simply the soul of this team!"

The Cavaliers' tactics revolved entirely around James. He came out, received the ball on the three-point line, and was right up against Li He.

James had already scored 6 points in the second quarter, his shooting touch was on fire, and he was confident that he could beat Li He and regain his pride.

Li He's defense was very targeted. He maintained good distance between the two players and focused on defending James' right side, forcing him to attack down the left flank as much as possible.

result.

James made a triple threat on the spot, only to find that Li He hadn't moved at all.

"Damn! This guy doesn't fall for fakes at all!" James thought to himself.

It's not that Li He is immune to fakes, but rather that James' triple threat is simply not a threat at all.

Li He sighed and said, "LeBron, stop with the three threats, okay? Look at yourself, where exactly are you a threat?"

The triple threat is indeed the most commonly used tactic by offensive players, but the prerequisite is that you have a shot.

Why is Carmelo Anthony's triple threat so lethal?

It's because he has accurate shooting and refined technique. When the defense is far away, he pulls up for a jump shot; when it's close, he gets past you.

He kept aiming at the basket instead of shooting, and the defenders were so asleep they didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

Upon hearing this, James nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He mustered all his strength and attacked down the left flank with the ball.

One step is taken, then another, and then inexplicably, another step is added.

When the third step landed on the floor, Rashid Wallace didn't react in time and stood there, feeling that the step was very strange.

They could only watch helplessly as James scored.

Even after scoring, James clenched his fist in celebration.

Li He: ?

Is that correct?

Others take three steps to make a layup, you take four, huh!

Li He and Rashid Wallace immediately signaled to the referee, making a traveling gesture.

But the referee didn't react at all.

This left Li He speechless.

No, did he pay for VIP or something? Does that give him more privileges than others?

Li He ran past James and chatted with him in a friendly manner: "LeBron, your footwork just now was really cool. What kind of footwork is that?"

James realized his footwork had been a bit off, and could only chuckle, "What are you talking about? The score is already in."

Li He said quietly, "LeBron, you're almost back in Cleveland in just a few more steps—"

James was a little flustered and said with a stern face, "I don't have time to waste with you, I need to focus on the game!"

James blatantly traveled to score, drawing boos from the Rose Garden crowd, but the boos quickly turned into enthusiastic celebrations.

Because Li He made another three-pointer!

"Hanson Lee's fifth three-pointer is here!"

"So far, he's made all five of his three-point attempts! It's incredible!"

"I have a feeling that Hansen Lee might break the record in this fight!"

The current NBA record for most three-pointers in a single game is 12.

But among the fans' discussions, Li He is the most likely to break this record!

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup had a clear advantage; Ricky Davis was like a wooden stake in front of Li He, and could be easily broken through.

Taking advantage of Li He's offensive initiative, the Trail Blazers scored frequently, going on an 8-0 run.

With 26 seconds left in the second quarter, Li He attempted a three-pointer, but missed his first three-pointer of the game.

The first half has ended.

The Trail Blazers lead 48-38.

李贺8投7中，三分6中5，罚球2中2，已经拿下21分2篮板4助攻的表现。

James put up 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, but his teammates were playing in the CBA league, and the team trailed at halftime.

Inside the changing room.

James was clearly a little anxious.

The Cavaliers are in the process of rebuilding, and his rookie season was mainly about "leveling up," so losing games is not a big deal.

The problem is that losing to the Trail Blazers, the team Hansen Lee plays for, really upset James!

Not only did his team have a better record and a higher individual score, but his opponent also frequently made headlines in inexplicable ways, completely stealing the spotlight from him, the "Little Emperor."

Especially that damn trash talk, it always breaks James's defense.

It's highly unlikely that Ricky Davis, that idiot, can defend Hansen Lee.

Ricky Davis plays defense without any seriousness and likes to gamble on steals, which is completely inefficient.

After much deliberation, James made a decisive strategy.

He suggested to coach Paul Silas, "Boss, let me guard Hansen Lee in the second half!"

Young James firmly believes that with his physical attributes and serious defensive attitude, Hansen Lee will definitely not have an easy time playing against him!

The second half resumed quickly.

When the Trail Blazers were in position, James went straight for Li He and started battling him.

The two were locked in a silent struggle, pulling and tugging, trying to find a way to outmaneuver each other, which was exhausting for both.

The sudden turn of events surprised even the commentators on various platforms.

"Oh my God!"

"At the start of the second half, LeBron James actually took the initiative to guard Hansen Lee!"

"Was this arranged by Coach Paul, or did LeBron volunteer for it?"

"In any case, the scene the fans have been waiting for is here!"

"The defensive duel between these two is incredibly entertaining! It's like two bison locked in a life-or-death struggle!"

He faced off against James repeatedly, making for a very exciting game.

Even Li He had to admit that James' physical attributes were indeed very strong.

He has the template of Klay Thompson and the raw power of AC Green, and can hold his own against young LeBron James.

But in basketball, physical strength alone is not enough.

In another fierce confrontation, Li He deliberately put in all his strength, shoving James aside before circling around to receive the ball outside the three-point line.

The little flying squirrel immediately made a through pass, and the moment Li He received the ball, his super striker habits were already set: he lowered his center of gravity and raised his hand to aim at the basket.

This move completely fooled James, who immediately pounced on him!

Li He took a step, dodged James' block, and shot from beyond the three-point line!

The basketball traced a perfect rainbow-like trajectory through the air!

Swish!

Three point hit!

"Wooooooo————!"

"Hanson Lee's 6th three-pointer is here!"

"He continued his hot streak from the first half, sinking a long-range shot with ease!"

"That was an incredibly calm shot!"

"The Cavaliers need to take this seriously. A fully unleashed Hansen Lee could single-handedly destroy an entire team!"

Seeing that James had taken the initiative to approach him, Li He, on the defensive end, was certainly not going to back down. After communicating with Ruben Patterson, Li He immediately focused his defense on James.

Young James's skills were actually quite rough. Just as James was about to drive to the basket, Li He seized the opportunity to reach out and interfere!

James reacted quickly and tried to steal the ball, but Li He was even more reckless, diving out and winning possession!

Immediately after falling to the ground, Li He passed the ball to Little Flying Squirrel, who initiated a counterattack, but the Cavaliers' defense recovered too quickly, and they couldn't find a good opportunity.

Li He got up from the ground and, just past the halfway point, asked Little Flying Squirrel for the ball.

"Damon, over here!"

After the little flying mouse passed the ball over, James was guarding Li He at the three-point line.

This is the logic for defending against ordinary shooters.

But Li He has never been an ordinary marksman, especially now that he's in such hot form.

With about a meter and a half of space from the three-point line, it looked like he was shooting an open shot!

Li He paused briefly, then used his toes to lift his body upwards, and that textbook-perfect shooting motion reappeared. As the basketball was released, it flew over James's head.

Li He had already turned his head and opened his arms!

That damn confidence!

They actually celebrated after shooting a three-pointer?!

next moment.

The cheers inside the Rose Garden Arena confirmed Li He's "arrogance"!

That's right, he made it again!

Seventh three-pointer made!

When the ball went in, young LeBron James on the three-point line felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He shoots a three-pointer from over a meter beyond the three-point line, how are you supposed to defend against that?

We can't start guarding him once he's past half-court, can we?

But Hansen Lee's damn ball control makes him easy to get past if you press too closely!

The pressure on the defensive end caused James' performance on the offensive end to decline as well.

James attacked the paint, but his layup attempt missed under pressure from Rasheed Wallace.

After Zach Randolph grabbed the rebound, his first pass found Li He directly.

Li He advanced with the ball, and the others quickly took their positions.

Then, the next moment, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.

While the other players had not yet fully taken their positions.

Li He had just dribbled past the center line when he adjusted his footwork, stepped into the L0 0 zone, and prepared to shoot a three-pointer!

This incredibly capricious shot left even coach Maurice Cheeks speechless on the sidelines.

No, you threw it after you crossed the halfway line!

Even if you have a great touch, at least take a few dribbles before shooting!

Coach Morris was just about to complain when he saw the basketball, like a missile, precisely guided and hit the back of the rim, crashing into the basket.

I am Cao!

nice shot!!!
