CIATB Chapter 355 There is always one James going to fight Li Wan in the finals, why can’t it be me
Chapter 355 There is always one James going to fight Li Wan in the finals, why can’t it be me
Chapter 355 There is always a James who is going to fight Li Wan in the finals, why can't it be me
It's no wonder he thinks this way, mainly because he has experience in this matter...
Nonsence!
No!
The main thing is that it is unreasonable!
Obviously during the regular season, his performance is directly proportional to that of the Warriors.
Why now, when he is off the court, the rest of the Warriors started chasing points?
There are ghosts!
There must be ghosts!
He thinks either Green wants to get the ball back again, or Stephen Curry wants to win the MVP.
The former situation is easy to understand. Green’s current stats are only a miserable 8 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. After two years of this stats, I am afraid that his contract will become a "junk contract". Green, who has a bad temper, definitely can't bear this kind of thing; the latter situation is more understandable, everyone is from Akron, and one hospital can't deliver two kinds of people, he LeBron wants the finals MVP, Stephen - It's normal for Curry to want to;
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that these two situations were possible, so that the next morning, watching Stephen Curry talking and laughing with Green and the rest of the Warriors, LeBron James felt very lonely in his heart, and wanted to immediately Let's play "Snow Distance"!
Oh ~
such a cold day~
you are so far away from me~
A strange atmosphere filled the entire Warriors.
Steve Kerr found LeBron James again at this time: "Man, we can't lose Game [-] anymore, we have to make some adjustments..."
LeBron James frowned instinctively when he heard this.
Listen to Steve Kerr continue: "I'm going to increase the frequency of the dream chaser at the top of the arc in the third quarter, and you, LeBron, I need you to add more off-ball running, running Waiting for the chance to catch the ball and drive to the basket, to open up space for the team..."
LeBron James' whole face has been sunk, what does this mean?
Isn't it just to sacrifice my possession of the ball, consume my physical energy, and raise "Stephen Curry" and "Klay Thompson" two cards?
Jie Nima!
LeBron wanted to put his iron elbow against Steve Kerr's throat and ask, "Is the three-pointer your father?"
Can't you see that these guys are playing me together?
Just to force you to do this!
Don't you understand the truth that the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score?
Obviously my breakthrough is the biggest reliance for the Warriors to win!
You don't know how to persuade those guys to practice more three-pointers and make those damn three-pointers, but instead persuade me to increase my running without the ball?
At this moment, LeBron James felt that Steve Kerr might be one of those people.
It's normal to think about it. How long have they been working together? How long has he been here?
The idea of "Golden State Warriors like to engage in small groups" was formed in LeBron James' mind, and it also strengthened his idea that he must leave Golden State in the future.
It's just that now, he can't openly fall out with these guys.
His team has told him several times that even if he leaves, he has to win the championship and leave with glory.
and so……
"I got it, Steve!"
LeBron James agreed.
Steve Kerr is very satisfied with the result of this conversation, but LeBron James agrees and agrees. When it comes to training, no matter how you look at it, he is a bit out of shape, and his running position often overlaps with Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson .He also thought in his heart: Sure enough...
It is really difficult to change a player like LeBron James!
But what he doesn't know is that this time he has wronged LeBron a bit.
"The Proud Son of Heaven" this time...
He is really serious about cooperating with the rest of the Golden State Warriors to run.But... It is one thing to be familiar with tactical positions, and another thing to run tactical positions.
LeBron has never run a tactical spot in his life. ——Even if he became a "D" without "23" in the playoffs in 3, he often went directly to the tactical point, without any false movement, just let it go.
Like him, the other outsiders of the Lakers, such as "Xiao Hei" and Rui Hachimura, are also "ambush shooters".
This is why the Lakers couldn't open space at the last moment.
The containment of shooters is also graded. This kind of shooter who stands at a point and waits to be fed belongs to the most elementary stage of shooters. The upper limit of a large number of shooters at this level is basically Jason Kapono. When shooting from the chair, he is very accurate, and has won the championship in the three-point shooting contest.
But this kind of shooter needs the help of his teammates to contain the space and help him complete the projection.
A more advanced shooter is a shooter at the level of JJ-Redick, who has a certain ability to get rid of defenses and can catch the ball on the move.
Above him is the level of Klay Thompson.
They tend to have a lot of cover moves.
If a team has just one pitcher like this, the entire offensive lineup will be complicated.
Not to mention the Warriors have two.
This tactic runs, and the line "drawn" can directly form a maze.
You let LeBron, who has never been exposed to running without the ball, run "off the ball" in such an environment.
It's like asking Emperor Han Cheng to let Zhao Feiyan sisters have fun...
It's not embarrassing, what is it?
But because of some things in the closed training camp, Steve Kerr now has so many colored glasses for him, thinking that LeBron is "talking one way, doing another way".
However, Steve Kerr got an "east wind" that night. ——Li Wan and the Columbus Explorers defeated the Bulls 4-1 and successfully entered this year's finals.
When the outcome was decided, Kerr immediately sent the same text message to the rest of the Warriors: Guys, now Li Wan is waiting for us in the finals!
Another separate text message was sent to LeBron: Dear Zhan, if you want to beat Li Wan, this is your most promising year.
Almost no one responded to Steve Kerr's text message.
But the next day, the day of Game [-] of the Western Conference finals, when Steve Kerr saw them in the makeshift practice arena, he looked at their expressions, watched them in practice, and The momentum they showed, he was sure, the text messages he sent had an effect.
That night, the Hornets also clearly felt the Warriors' change in momentum.
The state change caused by this momentum made D'Antoni, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, even a little bit astonished.
Because at the New Orleans Arena, the Warriors, who had been double-killed by the Hornets before, actually got off to an 8-0 start.He quickly called a timeout for the Hornets.The Hornets who came back to their senses began to chase points.It’s just that the paper strength of the Warriors is here, and they have recovered the previous system. Although LeBron James can’t keep up with the rhythm of the entire team’s passing and cutting, it will always be stagnant for a while, but… …
They are in really good shape!
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors still led by 35 points 30 to 5.
But this Hornets is also a team that has undergone transformation and rebirth.
More importantly...
D'Antoni's ability to cultivate the No. [-] and No. [-] positions is obvious to all in this league.
Back then, Steve Nash and Stoudemire were both in his hands, and they played at their peak.
And now James Harden and Anthony Davis have become his "new masterpieces", and both of them have grown into "regular season MVP" players this year.
In addition, "Round Face Deng", Ariza, PJ-Tucker and other elite soldiers in the lineup...
The entire chemical reaction of this team has come to the best period after they formed an army.
If they failed to catch up in one quarter, they chased for two quarters, and if they didn’t catch up in two quarters, they chased for three quarters. Finally, at 3 minutes and 45 seconds into the fourth quarter, the Hornets followed James Harden’s iconic "three step back step". The Hornets chased the whole game and took the lead for the first time in this game.
The scene suddenly became a sea of cheers.
Amidst the cheers, the Hornets have been leading by 3 points until the last 2 minutes of the game. At this time, the situation suddenly changed. First, Stephen Curry received a breakthrough from LeBron James and hit a three-pointer. , Stephen Curry received the ball from outside the three-point line again, made a shooting fake to deceive the defender, rushed into the three-point line for the first step to attract the defensive player, and then gave the ball to LeBron, who happened to be making an empty cut. Help him complete the strong kill at the basket.
The two consecutive "Janku connections" directly impressed the Golden State people.
The game also ended in the two efforts of the two people. The Warriors reversed the game again and became the leading side. The Hornets chose to use the free throw tactic to gain the last hope. Unfortunately, James Harden made a desperate shot "Failed to put in.
113 to 108, 5 points difference, the Warriors won the first away game in New Orleans, rewriting the big score to 2 to 1.
Bill Wharton highlighted the two connections between Stephen Curry and James at the last moment: "I believe that all Warriors fans agree with me that the two of them are connected so frequently. It should be seen in the Warriors game, especially in such a critical moment, but the fact is, until tonight's game, we have not seen such a scene!"
Green's "top of the arc deal" is a very purely tactical deal, and he will give the ball to Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson in a better position.
It can be said that even with the ball, Green is still a green leaf.
James is different with the ball.
he……
This chapter talks too much about him, so it is shortened into 4 words:
I understand everything I understand.
Stephen Curry has completely "degenerated" into "Ray Allen". The key is that he does not have Ray Allen's physical explosiveness. Often his top shots after catching the ball are based on the fact that he has the ball and has the ability to hold the ball. Under the threat of the ball.
Once others find out that he is a pure shooter, he will be more determined to defend, no matter how powerful his top shot is, he has to talk about the "Basic Law of Interference".
As we all know, Curry has no "cylinder".
Now, Green takes the ball and activates Stephen Curry's drive with the ball.
Curry's breakthrough with the ball can in turn make LeBron James' air cut more threatening!
Isn't the entire Warriors team connected in one go?
Bill Wharton's words can be said to have expressed everyone's aspirations. It can also be seen from the speeches of Warriors fans on the Internet that they have been waiting for this day to appear.
But in the end, Green suddenly had a conflict with LeBron. After reconciliation, the style of the Warriors suddenly became a little weird, and it felt like LeBron's Cavaliers or LeBron's Heat.
The whole play is built around LeBron James...
Now, they finally saw Xiangkang.
Immediately they were even more optimistic that the Golden State Warriors would return to Golden State with a 2-2 score.
Because, in their view, the Golden State Warriors in this state are invincible, and even the Columbus Explorers cannot be their opponents.
Just kidding, what is "the strongest super team in history"!
The strength of the Golden State Warriors on paper is quite explosive in the entire history of the NBA.
But soon, the hopeful Golden State fans were slapped in the face by the Hornets.
After losing their first home game, the entire momentum of the New Orleans Hornets is also full of blood.
They don't want to see the home fans show their frustrated faces for two consecutive games.
As soon as the game came up, Anthony Davis dominated the inside, shooting from inside and outside, turning the Warriors' inside upside down.
No way, Anthony Davis is only afraid of asking the teacher's "pure tonnage" inside player.And even against such a player, he can actually explode with the opponent on both ends of the offense and defense. Of course, the premise is that there is a good passer.
This, the Hornets really do not lack.
Skillful!
Just "James"!
What's more, Anthony Davis now has the bonus of the "D'Antoni system".
Don't forget, what kind of exaggerated data did Stoudemire, the super insider "Small Overlord" under the last "D'Antoni system" average in the Western Conference playoffs against the Spurs!
Don't forget, the opponent's lineup also has Tim Duncan, the "defensive master".
Even though the Spurs chose to release Stoudemire, the Golden State Warriors chose to chase and block Anthony Davis.Still can't stop Anthony Davis' scoring momentum.
In theory, Anthony Davis has no natural enemies. His only natural enemy is that his teammates don't pass the ball and don't give him the feeling of scoring. As long as he feels it, then he is definitely "Daddy"!
In this game, facing the inside line of the "Short Country" Warriors, he can really be said to be "overwhelming", which made Steve Kerr dare not put the "Five of Death" on the court for too long. Unable to restrain Davis, he immediately took the "scumbag" up.
In fact, "slag" can't guard against Davis, but at least he has a height and a "clumsy", which makes him have scruples about breaking through the basket.
Only in this way, the space of the Golden State Warriors cannot be completely opened up.
The Golden State Warriors who "broke their arms" also encountered a problem in this game:
The Hornets successfully separated the Warriors from LeBron James in this game, successfully allowing the latter to dissociate from the entire system on the offensive end."Janku", who helped the team secure the victory in the third game of the series, never appeared again in this game.
Without this trump card tactic, in the stalemate stage of the game, the Warriors lost and lost, and finally they were undefeated. After Stephen Curry's "death three-pointer" missed, the Golden State Warriors won 111 to 117, 6. Lost the second road game of the series by a point margin.
The big score expanded to 1-3 again!
This is the real cliff edge.
The Warriors have no way out!
Originally, when the Hornets played two consecutive home games at the Warriors' home court, it was already incredible, but even in that case, most of the media were still optimistic about the Warriors.
The record of the Golden State Warriors and their roster are their biggest reliance. As long as the worst situation is not reached, the media will not worry about them.
The Warriors won Game [-] of the series beautifully, which proved this point even more.
But now, ESPN said: "We must re-evaluate the strength of this New Orleans Hornets!"
The poisonous "New York Times" believes: "The Golden State Warriors are exaggerated!"
The "Cleveland Candide", which has been waiting for the opportunity, excitedly sent a mocking voice: "A person who is not capable of winning the championship will never be able to win it. No matter how good his teammates are, it is useless. only team!"
The lethality of these words to LeBron James is just like the original him. When a fan shouted to his face, "Win a championship that really belongs to you", the original him became anxious after hearing this, just like the current LeBron James. After LeBron saw the "Cleveland Times" evaluation of him, he also broke the defense.
the reason is simple:
The most lethal thing is always the truth!
Otherwise, some groups cannot listen to the truth!
When Li Wan knew the result, he was not too surprised.
Although he has never seen the combination of LeBron James and the Golden State Warriors, he has seen the combination of Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors.
In theory, that's the pinnacle of an NBA team.
Compared with Kevin Durant, LeBron James has more versatility and less offensive ability. It is precisely that what the Golden State Warriors lack most is offensive ability, not other things such as passing and defense. These Warriors have people who can do it.
and……
The rest of the Warriors are unstoppable, and LeBron James is still unstoppable.
For example, Anthony Davis in the fourth game of the series, in the end he scored 4 points, 42 rebounds and 13 blocks, smashing the entire Golden State Warriors inside.
Therefore, the overall strength of LeBron James and the Golden State Warriors is not necessarily weaker than Kevin Durant plus the Golden State Warriors, and it is definitely not much stronger.
This Hornets is different.
That was the original core lineup of the Hornets. Capela was removed and replaced with his "super enhanced version" Anthony Davis, and an "ultimately evolved super godfather" D'Antoni.
How much influence do you think a head coach has on the team?
Although some championship teams in the season can indeed win with a dog on the bench, some teams do become championship teams only after they get a good head coach.
Just like the "OK" combination of the Lakers.
It's just that Phil Jackson brought the "triangular tactics" to the Lakers, and now the Hornets' system is trained by D'Antoni...the bonus is definitely there, and the proportion is extremely high!
The original Rockets played two "tie-breakers" with "Cosmic Brave" in the playoffs. Now, even if the "enhanced Rockets" defeated the Warriors with "tactical problems" Big deal!
Besides, the game is not over yet...
Oh, it's not that the league will intervene in this game and let the Warriors "8v5". That was the "Adam League," and it's still the David Stern League.
Although there were outrageous whistles like the 06 finals during Stern's period, but...
It should be noted that the Hornets have people who David Stern personally supported in the regular season, and there are two.
Even though the regular season MVP was still taken away by Li Wan in the end, Li Wan took it away with his own hard power, and the priority of praising Li Wan must be higher than this person.
Warriors and LeBron's priorities...
Really not necessarily above the Hornets!
The highest priority of this alliance must be Li Wan.
His huge influence around the world has made the path of NBA internationalization wider and wider. With him, the ratings of the NBA Finals will definitely not be low.
And if you really want to say, no matter who the Hornets or the Warriors make it to the finals, meeting Li Wan is full of gimmicks.
Regardless of ratings, David Stern really...
love whoever!
With this time, he might as well go to the hospital to see Xiao Hua. He heard that the child has recovered after treatment, otherwise, the young man is in good health.
But also because he recovered well, the internal voices wanting him to inherit the position of president of the alliance gradually became louder.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the NBA is the same.
It is not a problem for Xiao Hua to be in a vegetative state. The most important thing is that he represents a part of the alliance. Only when Xiao Hua is in power can this part of the power really benefit. Therefore, they have never given up on letting Xiao Hua be in power for so many years. , Their reason is: "This originally belonged to Adam, this is how many years of his hard work, he has been tested by God, and now he has survived this stage of the test, we should give him a chance to see if he can survive What can I gain from this position..."
Ok……
To put it simply, he suffered, so give it to him!
The reason is so outrageous!
But in this country that is good at "moral kidnapping" and "gangster logic", these reasons are enough. If you dare to question, they will immediately throw you a hat of discrimination against "disabled people".
As long as you put a tick on "discrimination", then I'm sorry, basically waiting for thousands of people to condemn it!
In short, this trick is really "brainless and simple", and no one can stop it.
Including David Stern.
Eventually the voices got louder and louder, and he couldn't stop them at all.
However, he did not intend to stop him. He should have retired a long time ago. Now he can win the seventh championship of his career after Li Wan officially surpassed Michael Jordan and then step down from the position of president. For him, It is already the most perfect result.
Besides, he could feel that his body was becoming more and more overwhelmed.
This summer, even if there is no successor, he plans to retire...
And when he quits, he still cares about the monsters and monsters in this alliance!
It doesn't matter what the trouble is like!
The Western Conference Finals ushered in the fifth game day. After losing the second game of the series in the away game, the Warriors who returned to Oracle Arena with a big score of 5-2 were obviously much more dignified.
Among them, the person with the dignified expression is LeBron James...
There is an aura of "don't let strangers in" on his body.
In fact, it is true that "strangers do not enter". Since the way back from New Orleans, he has not said a single word to the Warriors.No one knew what was going on in his heart.
Soon, of course, as the game began, the rest of the Warriors knew what this guy was thinking.
From the beginning of the game, as long as he got the ball, he would attack all kinds of reckless and autonomous, and that full of desire to attack almost ignited the entire auditorium of the arena.
Ok……
It's anger!
At the beginning, LeBron James relied on his domineering body to "dominate and open the way" to successfully complete breakthroughs again and again. The Warriors fans on the scene were quite excited.
But soon, something didn't feel right for them.
How is this guy...
Failed to advance twice in a row, are you still advancing?
What about your "breakthrough"?
It wasn't until the shooting percentage dropped from 80% at the beginning to 50% that LeBron James just started passing the ball.
Warriors fans breathed a sigh of relief seeing him pass the ball.
It's just the same as before, after looking at the time for a while, they feel that the road is not right again.
How is this guy...
It's all about passing!
If you don't make an open shot, and you don't play with the ball, you just wait for the fast break counterattack to "eat the cake", and the opportunity to "play big and small" with the ball...
LeBron James was so extreme that the Warriors trailed by six points at halftime.
The entire team has been greatly affected by his style of play.
LeBron James' data is very good, shooting 60% from the field, scoring 24 points in the half, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
Steve Kerr had no choice but to find him for a halftime conversation.
But LeBron James glanced at the statistics, and although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face when he looked back at Steve Kerr said it all: "My statistics should be the best of these people? You don't To ask them to change their status, but to ask me to change my style of play?"
You Golden State people are so interesting!
Sure enough, there is no one in the team or not!
LeBron James once again feels targeted.
He didn't feel that there was a problem with his first half. In the case of losing a game and being eliminated, wouldn't it be "flying separately when a disaster is imminent"?
He doesn't keep his "KDA", so when this round of the series is over, won't he be "blame the blame"?
He can't announce that he is considering retiring to guide public opinion and relieve his pressure, right?
He is not 83 now!
But what LeBron James didn't expect was that Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson broke out in the second half, and the two threw 10 three-pointers together to help the team fall behind by 6 points at halftime. Successfully overtook the score, and finally defeated the Hornets by 117 to 109, 8 points, rewriting the big score to 2-3!
At the same time, the battlefield of the series returned to the New Orleans Arena.
LeBron James finally scored a "luxury triple-double" of 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Among many media close to him, he was the key to the reversal of the Golden State Warriors in this game.
LeBron James, who has tasted the sweetness, continued his "keep KDA" style of play in the sixth game of the series. As far as his ability is concerned, to be honest, it is definitely not a problem to get a beautiful data.
It's just that his style of play can easily compress the living space of his teammates, causing his teammates' abilities to "degenerate" unconsciously.
It is better than Wade in the second year after handing over the ball. Stephen Curry is relatively better, but not too much. Anyway, his breakthrough in this game is much more blunt.
Coupled with the "law of conservation of character", the outbreak of the last game made him and Thompson export all the "three-point pool", and now there is really no drop left in the "pool".
Without the main three-pointer, LeBron James finally surrendered a data of 25 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, but the Warriors still lost the game by 9 points at the Hornets' home court.
When the buzzer sounded, cheers from the audience enveloped the entire New Orleans Arena.
The scene shot showed the man with the bushy beard.
From the very beginning of tonight's game, he had firm eyes, revealing his desire for the game.And after the game, facing the host's interview, he said: "There is always James going to play Li Wan in the finals, why can't it be me?"
just now……
In the finals, I "James" is here!
Well, the season is almost over.
Then let me announce that this season is over, and the book will enter the last two stories. The book is expected to be completed from the end of June to the middle of July.
