Chapter 28 Internal strife
At the end of the first half, the Mavericks were leading by a large margin of 65:53.

Among them, Zheng Yang scored 20 points and 8 rebounds efficiently in the last game, which was better than James' 5 points and 3 rebounds.

This is certainly due to Zheng Yang's own strength, but also due to the support from his teammates.

In terms of scoring, they will pass the ball to you and do pick-and-roll as much as possible. In terms of rebounding, they will also position themselves in advance and give the rebounds to you, making your statistics even more impressive.

Anyway, after the first half of the game, James was already sitting in the corner of the locker room with his head in his hands.

He hated it in his heart, but the person he hated at this moment was not Zheng Yang, but Ricky.

This stupid bird took 18 crazy shots in the first half and only scored 13 points. You scored less points than you took shots!
Not only does he have a bad touch, he also refuses to pass the ball. Apart from serving, I have never seen the ball that goes into his hands return to his teammates.

James promised that he would never pass the ball to the opponent again in the second half, he absolutely would not!
He has to rely on himself to win the game again.

For this much-anticipated game, TNT still chose Barkley and Kenny Smith to commentate. After all, given the previous bet, it would feel inappropriate not to have them commentate.

Looking at the first half statistics, Barkley pointed at Kenny Smith and laughed.

"Kenny, are you going to argue with me now about which of the two of them is better?"

Kenny Smith actually knew the answer in his heart, but the role he accepted was to be James's fan, so he could only continue to be stubborn at the moment.

"That's just because LeBron took too few shots. He shot two out of three in the first half, which was already very efficient."

"Well, I think everyone will think that 5 is greater than 20. After all, that's James' 5 points!"

Barkley continued to sneer, perhaps because he was too immersed in the role, or perhaps because he had seen Zheng Yang play too many times, he really began to like this young player.

He is active and energetic on the court. His playing style is gorgeous and his scoring methods are diverse. His physical fitness is explosive and he can always contribute some wonderful dunks or blocked shots.

Of course, his trash talk is also very exciting. Barkley feels very happy every time he sees him talking back at people.

Barkley really loves him!
Kenny Smith stopped talking. The score was 20:5. What else could he say? He didn’t know how to make up a story even if he wanted to!

……

The second half of the game started quickly. After Zheng Yang made a mid-range shot in the first round, James immediately came to the backcourt to receive the ball. There was no way he would let the ball fall into Ricky's hands.

But once they crossed half court, Ricky started asking him for the ball.

"Hey LeBron, give me the ball, I'm about to blow them up."

The poor touch in the first half actually made Ricky full of confidence. As we all know, touch is conserved. If he didn't feel good in the first half, he would definitely feel great in the second half. He was ready to wreak havoc.

He even thought of the headlines for tomorrow's major media outlets: "Cavaliers boss Ricky scores 50+ points to lead team to comeback victory."

Finley was also happy to see Rickey single, so he didn't hinder him too much from catching the ball.

James didn't want to pay attention to him and showed off his crotch dribbling twice on the spot. Ricky was unhappy and he yelled directly at James.

"Hey rookie, I told you to pass me the ball, didn't you fucking hear me?"

His voice was not small; the players on the field and some of the spectators on the sidelines could hear it.

Everyone was confused. Was the Cavaliers having an internal conflict?
For a moment, Finley stopped defending and just stood there with his hands on his hips watching the show.

James swore that he really didn't want to pass the ball to him at that moment, but for some reason, his hand shook and the ball flew towards Ricky.

He finally passed on...

Ricky, who received the ball, still didn't give James a good look. He stared at him fiercely and then continued his shooting journey.

The following games were much more boring. Boozer and Ricky from the Cavaliers took turns missing shots, while Zheng Yang from the Mavericks stood out.

As for James, he didn't take a single shot in the second half. On the one hand, he was angry, and on the other hand, his teammates were unwilling to pass the ball to him.

Don't think that James can call the shots in the Cavaliers just because he joined the team with the title of the Chosen One. In fact, James' life was not easy before Ricky was sent away.

Ricky is not the only one in the team who doesn't like James. The team management hopes that James can become the core of the team, but the players look down on this new high school student.

Boozer once said in an interview: "He is indeed a player with unlimited potential, but we have better players at this position."

So when Ricky showed malice towards James, the other players all stood on his side.

The final result of the game was that the Mavericks defeated the Cavaliers with a score of 125:80. Although it was not as shocking as the 58-point game, it was enough to surprise countless people.

Having said that, the Cavaliers performed so badly today and only lost by 45 points, so how did someone manage to lead the team to lose by 58 points?
This is a question worth thinking about.

再来看看郑阳的数据吧，这场比赛他25投15中，罚球7中7，砍下40分15篮板的恐怖数据。

Once again setting a new career high.

When 40 points and 5 points are put together, no one will discuss who performed better in the game.

The media began to ask Zheng Yang about his feelings after the big win over the Cavaliers, and Zheng Yang said nonchalantly, "I told you what happened today a long time ago, but you just didn't believe it.

As for Cameron? He had the same ending!"

As for the Cavaliers, the media was also surrounding them after the game. They all came because of the internal conflict at the beginning of the third quarter.

James did not attend the interview, and Ricky still had that disdainful expression on his face.

"You said we had internal strife? I prefer to call it a rookie not getting his attitude right.

Doesn't he know who the boss of this team is? Doesn't he know why the management chose him?
I hope this game will remind him that he is here to assist me."

The butterfly effect brought about by Zheng Yang ultimately made this famous saying come out ahead of time. At the same time, the Cavaliers management also held an emergency secret meeting. As for the content, no one knew, but perhaps everyone knew it.

……

The game against the Nuggets is scheduled for December 12rd, which is still a long time away, and they have several tough games to play.

The first tough battle will be on November 11th, at home against the Spurs!

This team, which eliminated the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals last year, finally met them again in the new season.

The Mavericks are united and ready to avenge last year's Western Conference Finals in this game.

The Spurs' lineup has not changed much from last season. Positions 1-5 are "French Sports Car" Tony Parker, "Demon Sword" Ginobili, Bruce, "Stone Buddha" Duncan, and the big center Rasu who was traded from the Timberwolves.

The team's lineup has not changed much, but apart from the Stone Buddha who has not made any progress, Parker and Ginobili have made a lot of progress compared to last season. Coupled with their tacit cooperation and good chemistry, the strength of this Spurs team has actually increased.

Old Nelson, who rarely spoke before the game, gathered everyone in the locker room before the game. He glanced at everyone and started talking.

"Kids, that team out there is the Spurs who knocked us out last season, who beat us last season and won the championship.

We have to admit that they deserved the championship and they beat us fair and square.

But this doesn't mean we will give up. We have been training hard during this period of time. We have shed a lot of sweat on the court and gained a lot of experience...

Now is our time for revenge. No matter whether you play for one minute or forty minutes today, please contribute all your strength. The stadium outside is already full of fans, and they are all here to cheer for us!

Don't let them go back disappointed!

Now, let’s go!”

Nelson's words were not very inflammatory, but when the players ran out of the player tunnel and listened to the cheers, they felt the weight of the words "Don't let the fans go back disappointed."

The tickets to the stadium are not cheap. Many children from ordinary families have to save money for a long time to come to the scene to watch such a game. They all hope to see their home team defeat last season's opponent and win today's game.

How could they have the nerve to let the fans go back disappointed?
"Win this game."

Nowitzki spoke to the other four starters, and everyone nodded. Fat Monk even patted his chest and shouted.

"Leave it to me. Don't think Duncan will score that easily today."

With a whistle, the game officially began.

As usual, the Mavericks lost the jump ball again. There was no way around it. Without a big center, Nowitzki was indeed at a disadvantage in terms of height.

After Parker controlled the ball across half court, he faced Nash. After a change of direction, he broke through directly to the right.

The reason why Tony Parker is called the "French Sports Car" is because his breakthrough speed is very fast. Other point guards may rely on changes in rhythm to break through, but Tony Parker will step on the accelerator to the bottom as long as he finds an opportunity.

Although Nash was agile, he was unable to keep up with the opponent at this moment. After Parker broke into the inside, he rushed to the left, but the ball was passed to the hands of the Stone Buddha on the right.

The latter directly hit the board with a signature shot!
2: 0!

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack. After Nash got through Zheng Yang's pick-and-roll and was about to pass the ball to Finley, he was intercepted by Ginobili, who was watching him closely.

Then he accelerated to his full potential and launched a counterattack.

Normally, with the positioning of the other Mavericks players at the time and his own speed, no one should be able to catch up with him. But just when Ginobili thought he was making a layup, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

With his arms span that covered the sky, the basketball he threw into the air hit the backboard directly, and Nash who followed closely regained the ball.

The fans in the stadium immediately cheered.

What the hell is that?

Ginobili stumbled and fell to the ground, looking confused. Who blocked him?
He looked back and found that it was the rookie named Zheng.

Isn't this guy a center? How come he's faster than me, a center?

Nash returned to the half court and passed the ball to Nowitzki in the paint. The latter turned around, passed the defender, and then dunked the ball.

Back and forth, the star players of both teams showed off their skills!
