The Fifth Point Guard

Boozer acted as if he had taken a drug from the start, so hard!

Continuously beat Gooden under the basket.

To say that Gooden is not that good, after all, he is also a lottery pick, and Boozer is only a second-round pick.

But in terms of physical fitness, Gooden is indeed inferior to Boozer.

In the face of absolute power, everything is nothing.

Raising his arms and taking steps, Boozer twisted his body and scored the ball.

Although Gooden occasionally used jump shots to counterattack on the offensive end, the impact of the two scoring methods was much different.

Although they are both 2 points, their momentum is completely different.

Boozer always showed off his strong biceps to smash the ball into the basket, while Gooden's jump shot seemed too gentle.

It's all just for fun, beauties prefer crazy beasts rather than gentle birds.

Boozer scored 6 points in a row and seemed unstoppable, forcing the Cavaliers to call a timeout.

Boozer also vented his resentment, blowing his beard and roaring loudly, lest others not know that he was a tough guy.

"Come on, Cleveland, I can beat ten of you wimps!"

Boozer's shout was met with boos from the home court.

The poster shook louder.

But Boozer, who had the upper hand, held his head high and looked calm.

"Well done."

Sloan took the lead and patted Boozer on the shoulder and praised him.

For the Cavaliers, Paul Silas asked Gooden to play tougher.

"You are taller than that guy, and your flexibility is no worse than him. Although he seems to have more strength, you can open your hands and cover his offense with your defensive area."

Facing Silas's advice, Gooden nodded repeatedly.

Gooden, who received guidance from his head coach, once returned to the court, covered Boozer in his defensive shadow.

It looked like Boozer was about to attack for three seconds.

As a result, Boozer made a swift and rejoicing turn and hit Gooden in the ribs with an elbow.

This moment made Gu Deng angry and fell to the floor.

With no defense left, Boozer exploded from the basket, raised his feet, and slammed the basket with both hands.

The entire basket trembled under Boozer's force.

But when the goal was scored, the referee also blew the whistle for a foul.

Boozer's goal was disallowed due to a foul.

Boozer immediately stepped forward to explain to the referee, but to no avail.

"Hey, you weakling, get up quickly. I didn't use any force when I turned around just now, and I didn't mean it."

Boozer seemed to be speaking to Gooden, but also to others, including the referees.

Gooden lay on the floor, panting heavily, and large beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

Upon seeing this, Shentong immediately waved to the team doctor to enter.

Jamien Icombe entered the field with a medical kit.

You know, the backpack space is limited, so you usually only bring a medical kit. After all, bullets and potions need to be stored in other spaces.

Back to topic.

Aikangbu touched Guden's ribs, then lay down and asked Guden some questions carefully.

Judging from Gooden's reaction, he could no longer speak loudly at this moment.

Icomb made a stretcher and substitution gesture to the sidelines.

The scene enters the official timeout time.

"I'm afraid Drew Gooden won't be able to continue playing. He must be checked immediately. I'm just worried about his ribs. I hope they don't break."

After listening to Aicomb's analysis, Silas made a gesture and asked him to take Gooden to the infirmary for examination immediately.

The Cavaliers have been suffering from injuries recently. Shentong missed several games soon after the start of the game. Just after recovering, Gooden was knocked off the field again.

Silas was a little angry.

"Boys, you are all young people. It is normal for young people to be a little angry. You can't always be bullied by those old football hooligans. When it's time to respond, you have to show them some color. Don't worry about anything else. ,I am here!"

As the head coach of the Cavaliers, to be able to say such things shows that Silas is angry.

Because Gooden was injured, Silas pointed to Millsap and said: "Paul, it's your time, show that guy some color!"

"ah!"

JR Smith, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly shouted, startling Hardaway next to him.

"What's wrong with you?" Hardaway asked in surprise.

"I don't know what happened to me," Smith said. "I just listened to Paul's words and felt an impulse in my body."

"I need to get it home. I'm still playing ball at the moment!"

"."

"Hehehehe, look, they actually sent a rookie." Boozer said a little arrogantly, "Let me see what is so great about Karl's junior brother, let Karl Malone personally lobby the Utah Jazz to choose you. "

Millsap turned his head away when faced with the provocation and ignored it at all.

Nothing lethal, but very insulting.

"Paul!"

Shentong's voice suddenly came.

After Millsap received STO's pass, he shot two points without hesitation.

Millsap's shooting posture is a bit weird. The ball almost goes out with his feet slightly.

The shooting speed is very fast.

Before Boozer could react, the ball flew toward the basket.

"Boom."

The sound of the ball hitting the inside of the basket.

The ball goes in.

After scoring, Millsap glanced at Boozer, turned around and ran away.

This glance contains countless contents.

Different people have different experiences.

To Boozer, this look was full of provocation. No, it was provocation!

A rookie dares to challenge me?

On the offensive end, Boozer held up Millsap with his left hand and asked for the ball with his right hand.

After catching the ball, Boozer started to hit Millsap with his back.

But what he didn't expect was that he couldn't stand up to this rookie at all.

There is no way, although the comprehensive conditions are not outstanding, Millsap is better than strong.

As a short power forward full of energy, he and Boozer are actually the same type of player.

Boozer doesn't believe in evil.

He is the new leader of the Jazz, and he has taken down the main force of the Cavaliers. However, he came up as a substitute, who is still a rookie, and he can't handle it?

chisel.

Just chisel hard.

"Didi didi."

The referee flagged a three-second offense violation.

Boozer's face immediately became angry.

"How long has it been? It's already been three seconds?"

"Three seconds is long enough for you," Wagner taunted.

This time it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Wagner first used his speed to get rid of Williams, and then when Boozer came over to defend, he threw the ball into the gap between Boozer and the basket.

As soon as Boozer saw where the ball was going, he knew something was wrong.

Millsap is like a fat mantis, catching the pass with his double-edged hands and dunking into the basket without hanging the basket!

Millsap was also happy after scoring.

Boozer knocked Millsap away and picked up the ball under the basket.

"As a main player, I advise you to be more honest." Boozer muttered.

"I'm fighting the elite!"

Millsap's response made STO couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

These are our soldiers in Cleveland!

"You're crazy!" Boozer yelled.

Deron Williams can't stand it anymore.

"Hey, Carlos, don't let them get you into trouble. We have to follow the established tactics. We will start a pick-and-roll tactic in a while. You can shoot a few and let them open up the defensive space. Then it will be more advantageous for you to go in and play in singles." ?"

Boozer listened to Williams.

After all, the ball is in his hands most of the time. If you want to score, you must count on him passing the ball.

The two of them did what they said.

After Wagner was blocked by Boozer, Millsap switched to guard Williams.

Williams broke through to the penalty area, feinted and passed back to Boozer.

Facing Wagner, Boozer took a high jumper and finally saved some face by scoring.

In the first half, Millsap, who replaced Gooden, did not fall behind in the confrontation with Boozer.

Especially Boozer's insane low post attack in the opening game almost disappeared after Millsap came on the court.

But Boozer and Williams' pick-and-roll tactics revitalized the Jazz's offense and gave Boozer a slight upper hand.

The score between the two sides has been very anxious. At halftime, the Cavaliers slightly led the Jazz 47-45.

During halftime, Silas called Wagner and Hardaway aside and exchanged a few words in a low voice.

Wagner was a little surprised at first, but after looking at Hardaway a few times and Silas kept saying something aside, Wagner nodded in agreement.

At the beginning of the second half, attentive fans noticed changes in the Cavaliers' lineup.

Wagner made the bench, while Hardaway started in the second half.

Shentong naturally understood Silas’s intentions.

Millsap and Hardaway are used to playing together in the second team. With Hardaway, Millsap can fully unleash his wildness.

To say that Wagner is also good-tempered, Silas settled the matter with a few words of taking the overall situation into consideration. This would have to be done by some players with great personalities to avoid causing a huge commotion.

But Wagner can be regarded as a guy who has felt the warmth and coldness of human relationships, seen all kinds of conditions in the world, and tasted the sufferings of the world.

He once had the highlight moment of scoring 100 points in a single high school game, but also fell to the bottom of hell due to injuries.

Wagner truly loves basketball.

As long as he can play and contribute to the team, Wagner is willing to dedicate everything he has.

And Wagner always believed that it was precisely because of his love that God would return health to him.

There was a double blow, and Millsap was completely released.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.

You're not the only ones who know how to run pick-and-rolls!

Facing Boozer, Millsap used steady and solid mid-range shots to wash away the Jazz's net over and over again.

It also made Boozer understand why Malone recommended Millsap to the Jazz.

Compared with Boozer, Millsap's shooting is not inferior in any way, and his decisiveness and determination in shooting seem to be even greater than Boozer's.

In terms of confrontation, Millsap, who is still in his rookie season, is already quite strong, which can be seen from the direct confrontation between the two on the court.

It can be said that Millsap is an enhanced version of Boozer, and he is still in his rookie season.

In fact, Boozer didn't know one thing yet.

That is, compared to Boozer's ambition, all Millsap wants is to win.

He doesn't have as many thoughts and distractions as Boozer, so he has more focus on basketball itself.

In the first half of the third quarter, under Hardaway's guidance, the Cavaliers seemed to spread their wings and went completely crazy.

For a moment, the show-time team seemed to reappear on the court.

After Hardaway and Millsap made a pick-and-roll, Millsap received Hardaway's wonderful crotch pass and dunked with one hand.

This scene is more Marlon Stockton than Marlon Stockton.

It’s so handsome that his dad opened the door for him and he’s so handsome!

The fans at the scene did not hesitate to give Millsap applause and cheers.

Boozer had never enjoyed this lively atmosphere.

"Hey, you rebel, go make money in Utah. We have Drew Gooden and Paul Millsap, we don't need you!"

This sentence made Boozer itch with hatred.

I can abandon you, I can leave you, but you can't dislike me!

This is a scumbag.

After all, Hardaway's second spring came a little later.

After playing with all his strength for half a quarter, Hardaway was replaced by Wagner.

His physical strength is no longer what it was when he was young.

But Hardaway is already very satisfied.

Being able to enjoy basketball that he loves and make appropriate contributions to the team in a limited time is an extremely happy thing for Hardaway at this age.

However, Millsap, who was already playing hot, did not shut down because of Hardaway's departure.

Facing Boozer, Millsap jumped and then put the ball toward the basket with both hands.

Seeing another wonderful score, Boozer, who was obsessed with jealousy and anger at the moment, raised his elbow, jumped high, and hit Millsap in the forehead with his elbow.

The latter fell heavily to the ground in the air.

The referee's whistle was completely drowned out by the boos and curses of the fans at the scene.

Having eliminated opposing players twice in a row, Shentong, as the team boss, no longer cares about the past friendship.

"Carlos, are you deliberately looking for trouble?!"

Shentong struck out with a palm, and Boozer staggered, taking two steps back before barely regaining his balance.

Facing his former boss, Boozer was not afraid at all. He blew his beard and rushed to STO aggressively.

But before he had taken a few steps, James and Wagner, two of Shentong's left and right legs, were already blocking him.

Boozer's momentum instantly calmed down a lot.

After all, they were all comrades who fought together in the past, and the Knight Trident was famous, so Boozer was taken care of when he was a knight.

Big Z over there helped Millsap up. This guy's forehead was already covered with blood.

Shentong shouted angrily: "Bruce Bowen massacred us, and you Carlos Boozer wants to join in the fun, so fight!"

Don't let others think that although the Cavaliers play well, they don't have any blood and anyone can bully them.

Before the people on both sides could react, Shentong pushed the wave away with another palm.

Boozer refused to give up after being pushed twice.

The Jazz also have a lot of tough guys.

Turk Oku and Russian fighter Kirilenko also came to support Boozer.

The scene was a little chaotic for a while.

After finally being separated, the referee gave Boozer and Shentong a technical foul each.

The referees on both sides were veterans, and they spontaneously replaced Boozer and Shentong.

The condition of Gooden's injury is still unknown. Millsap also had his teammate cover his head with a towel and returned to the medical room.

As a last resort, Silas had no choice but to replace Donnie Marshall.

Everyone knows that Marshall plays when he is suitable for grabbing points. Playing in regular rotation time will magnify his defensive loopholes countless times.

Kirilenko took the opportunity to put on a personal show, with outstanding performances on both offense and defense.

James' breakthrough is still quite threatening, but the Jazz blocked the middle and strengthened the containment of James.

When the old man's cart was blocked, James wanted to make a contribution with sudden points.

Unexpectedly, today was really weird. Whether it was Marshall, Smith, or Wagner, they shot four consecutive three-pointers and none of them hit.

Maybe it's because they are not used to playing with the main players, but they have a burden on their minds.

Seeing the score getting closer, Shentong couldn't hold it back.

"Coach, I want to go out there and play."

As soon as Shentong stood up, before he could speak, someone said this first.

Shentong looked in shock, Millsap was back!

With gauze wrapped around his head, he looked a little funny, but his eyes were full of determination.

This is a real tough guy!

Even STO couldn't help but give Millsap a thumbs up in his heart.

"Are you okay?" Silas asked directly.

"No problem!" Millsap's answer was also decisive.

Without saying a word, Silas directly asked Shentong and Millsap to prepare to play.

The Jazz's Boozer was also preparing to reappear, but when he saw Millsap, who was hit in the forehead by himself, quickly returned to the game with a bandage on his head, he felt a little touched.

For a moment, Boozer suddenly felt that Millsap's image was a bit tall, and compared with this opponent, he seemed very small.

Marshall hugged Kirilenko on the defensive end and shouted to the sidelines: "Hey, what are you waiting for? It's your turn to play!"

When I saw Shentong and Millsap on the stage, there was warm applause.

Many fans cheered for Millsap's toughness!

As a rookie player, Millsap staged a return of the king!

Although he played injured, Millsap showed his tough guy side.

After getting the ball, he made a feint of turning around, then dribbled in the opposite direction and jumped, scoring the ball against Okur's defense, and causing a foul on the Turks!

Millsap scored 2+1 as soon as he came on the field, showing the blood of Cleveland people!

The fans at the scene were crazy.

"Paul! Paul!"

Everyone is cheering for Millsap.

After making the free throw, both Shentong and James took the initiative to high-five Millsap.

He deserves to be encouraged by his teammates.

On the defensive end, Deron Williams took the initiative to pass the ball to Boozer.

At this time, the Jazz needed him to respond.

After Boozer got the ball, he first fought with his back twice, then turned around and threw his arm to hit hard.

But when Boozer's elbow touched Millsap's chest, he subconsciously retracted it.

His subconscious no longer wanted to do that.

When Boozer held the ball and looked up at Millsap, there was only courage and determination in his eyes.

He is the real tough guy who never backs down!

On this momnet, Boozer has a guilty conscience.

"Snapped!"

Wagner cleverly intercepted Boozer's ball.

The Cavaliers launched a quick counterattack.

Boozer knew that no matter what the outcome of this game was, he had already lost this game.
