When he faced James for the first time, George was not nervous at all, but seemed particularly excited.

As a striker, becoming a top striker like James is the dream of most players.

But there are a few people who are not willing to be James. Compared to becoming the next James, what they want to do more is to defeat James and surpass each other.

There is never a shortage of such challengers in history. Even Kobe and James, when they have won countless glory and are at the peak of their players, are also constantly launching an impact on Jordan's historical status.

George is such a player.

Wang Xiao didn't need to confirm this at all, because George had already proved it in another time and space.

In the 12-13 season, in the third year when George joined the league and the Heat's Big Three, the Pacers and the Heat met in the Eastern Conference Finals. George, who had replaced Granger as the Pacers' leader, led the Pacers to fight the Heat for seven games before he was barely defeated.

Facing the fourth time in his career and the second consecutive year of winning the regular season MVP, George refused to give in at all and almost played 55 with James.

It is precisely because of the two consecutive years of playoff confrontation with James that Paul George has grown up quickly and become one of the top stars in the league. If it weren't for the 14-year injury season reimbursement, George's career might have been even more brilliant.

However, even though the injury affected George, George still played his best season in his career in 2019.

...

Now, George is just a fledgling rookie, and his career has just begun.

After returning from the timeout, James was stunned when he saw Butler being substituted.

"Why, rookie, your elder brother can't stand it. Do you hide under the court and ask you to face me?"

"My elder brother said." George was a little nervous when facing James, but he didn't give in at all. "You are so soft that you play basketball. He doesn't feel good at all. He has no interest in playing with you, so let me come up."

James sneered, "I'm soft playing? Very good, rookie, you will know if I'm soft playing or not."

James' style of playing basketball has always been labeled as rude and violent, and it is said to be soft or the first time.

The Warriors' offense was scored by Harden's breakthrough layup, and Bosh, who served at the bottom line, immediately passed the basketball to James.

Seeing James holding the ball, George immediately came up to meet him.

Although Wang Xiao did not assign him a hard task, from the moment he came on the court, all George wanted to do was to defend James.

Looking at George who was fully focused, James smiled, "Boy, be careful not to be knocked out by me!"

While speaking, James stopped the ball slightly and started the next moment.

George immediately met, but as soon as the two sides had physical contact, George felt as if he had been hit by a full-speed tank. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he staggered down his feet and made a way out.

James's power was extremely powerful and his speed was not slow at all. In just this moment, he suddenly accelerated and rushed into the inside line, and scored a dunk when Jordan stepped forward to make up for defense.

"LeBron James!!!"

The commentator on the scene shouted James' name passionately, which caused bursts of cheers on the court.

James fell from the basket like a king, turning his head to look at George behind him.

"Rookie, how about it? Is it soft?"

George rubbed his chest, and the pain was still faint, but there was a disdainful smile on his face.

"But that's all, come again if you have the ability!"

This guy...

James couldn't help but squint his eyes.

After replacing Harden and George one after another, the Wizards still undergo extremely fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions.

Daz quickly couldn't hold on and was replaced, and Joel Anthony, who was replaced, could not keep up with this pace.

Therefore, the Wizards have an absolute advantage in rebounding. Although Jordan's offensive ability is average, he is the only one among the ten players currently playing in rebounding.

However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although it is difficult for other Heat players to keep up with the fast-paced offensive and defensive transformation, it is not difficult for the Big Three to deal with it.

Whether it is James, Wade or Bosh, they are all players with extremely mobile power.

Even fast offensive and defensive conversions have always been what they are used to being good at.

It is still only the first quarter game, and the three of them have a lot of physical strength. They can run back and forth on the court, and their offensive efficiency is even slightly better than that of the Wizards.

Thanks to the Wizards, Jordan, who grabbed the rebound and checked for omissions, and the hit bonus of the "fixed-point shooter" skill, the score difference did not further expand.

The extremely fast-paced offensive and defensive transformation also put George under tremendous pressure.

During these few minutes, George has been defending James alone, and then he was forced to take on all kinds of things.

Most of the forwards in the league will encounter such problems when facing James, and only a few forwards such as Artest and Pierce, who are not as powerful as James, can withstand the opponent.

And even if they can compete with James in terms of strength, Artest and Pierce cannot completely stop James' attack.

On the sidelines, the Wizards' assistant coaches were a little worried.

"Wang, Paul faces James after all, he is just a newcomer who has just entered the league and played more than a dozen games. Will this hurt his confidence too much?"

Even Cole, who is loyal to exploring the potential of a bench rookie in the future, couldn't help but ask Wang Xiao this.

"It's okay, I believe him."

Wang Xiao said lightly.

Cole and others' worries are understandable. After all, they cannot predict the future and are not psychological experts. Their understanding of George is limited to daily training and performance on the court.

They don’t know how cruel the George, who has just advanced to the third grade to get rid of the rookie title, has fought with James, so they don’t know how much energy George contains.

Even though George is just a first-grade rookie now, his level is quite different than he will be in two years, facing the powerful James, he will never be hit by the situation because he cannot defeat the opponent and loses his fighting spirit. Instead, he may grow up faster.

A good sword must require high-quality whetstone Kaifeng.

James is George's whetstone.

Wang Xiao thought it thoroughly.

Anyway, no matter Butler or George play, they can't stop James, so they simply let George compete with James. Once George grows up quickly under the pressure of James, in the playoffs, he will become the most powerful weapon against the Heat!
