Chapter 321 Advance to the Finals
The second game with the Nets arrived as scheduled.
Before the game, a reporter deliberately asked Carmelo Anthony: "Now, do you still think you can beat the Cavaliers and enter the finals?"
A bit of stiffness flashed across Anthony's increasingly rounded face, and then he didn't say anything in the end.The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he finally chose to "glare".
Wait for my little brother to send you a text message!
mmp!
The interview made the reporter choke. Back in the locker room, looking at the lifeless teammates, Anthony became even more angry. He clapped his hands and said loudly, "Guys, don't give up. You just finished the first game. This round of the series has just begun, as long as we win tonight's game, we will be back on the same starting line with our opponents again!"
There is nothing wrong with what you say.
Now the big score is 1 to 0, and the next game is 1 to 1, isn't it the same starting line?
But the problem is...
Jenny, how did you win tonight's game?
The opponent was the one who won them 61 points in one game. Is this the opponent they can win?
Pull it down, or don't have this dream!
Anthony noticed that the mood of these guys still didn't rise after his words, and even Howard, who would usually pick up his words whenever he spoke, didn't say a word.I know it's useless no matter what he says now...
More important now than what he said, is what he did next!
In order to rekindle the fighting spirit of his teammates, he must show the strongest fighting spirit and the most inspiring performance from the very beginning of the game!
Entering the arena, you can clearly feel that the Cleveland people on the scene are more restless than the last game.
The 122 to 61 in the last game made them happy.
Growing up so big, I have never seen such a crushing performance.
This also makes them look forward to the next crushing of the Cavaliers against the Nets.
Especially when the players of the Nets entered the court, the little daughter-in-law felt aggrieved and cowardly, knowing that she couldn't beat but she didn't want to play, they couldn't help but shush Voice.
"Hey, you guys, can you come up with one with a handle?"
"Looking at your comparison, do you already think that you will be taken away by 2-0?"
"Bitches, didn't you say you're going to beat us to enter the finals? You just finished a game, why is there no sound?"
……
Hearing these words, Anthony almost couldn't hold back his anger.
But the rest of the Nets really have no temper.
It's no wonder that he encountered such a big wave at the beginning. Originally, Howard was not a person with strong fighting spirit when he met Li Wan, and the more frustrated he became, the more he relied on Carmelo Anthony to shout there alone. Impossible to boost morale.
not to mention……
The problem now is that Carmelo Anthony's own performance is not hard!
On the other hand, the Cavaliers who entered the arena amidst the cheers of the audience, all of them were full of confidence. They didn't look like they came to play a game, but they seemed to come to perform.
Ok……
Having won by 61 points in the previous game, the mentality will indeed be so relaxed.
The starting rosters on both sides appeared on the big screen without any adjustments.
However, it can be seen from the fact that Carmelo Anthony, who was more aggressive in asking for the ball at the beginning, faced Li Wan after twisting and facing the defender.Tyronn Lue made a change in the defensive marking and put Li Wan in front of Anthony.
"Bass" returned to the defense through the video of the last game, and it was obvious that Carmelo Anthony was different from the strong fighting spirit of other Nets players.A Game [-] rout could crush others, but it could also irritate Anthony.
As a well-known "super scorer" in the league, Tyronn Lue chose to switch defenses against Li Wan to show respect.
When Anthony saw Li Wan, there was no hesitation on his face, but he became more and more determined.
Good to come!
It is you that I want to hit!
Anthony, who was in a stance, crushed Li Wan and pressed inward from the three-point line, but the intensity of the confrontation given by Li Wan exceeded his expectations.He pushed three times in a row and stepped on the three-point line, but he couldn't make it no matter what.
Seeing this scene, Drexler was a little surprised.
Anthony is a well-known "back hitter", and his strength is famous on the front line. He can't stand Li Wan, which shows how strong Li Wan's core strength is now.
Should not be!
How could it be impossible?
Anthony's face was also full of surprise.
During the regular season, he frequently hit Li Wan on the back.He admits that there is some pressure, but not so much...
"Bah!"
After another confrontation, Anthony finally pushed back. Without hesitation, Anthony immediately turned to face the frame.He didn't grasp the opportunity this time, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to turn around and face the frame again.
"Snapped!"
But just as he turned to face the frame, a big hand covered his ball.
Slap it off.
It's Li Wan!
He accurately predicted Carmelo Anthony's turn and reached out ahead of time, waiting for Anthony to send the ball to him.
Amidst the cheers at the scene, Li Wan, who had completed the steal, suddenly exploded, grabbed his position, and controlled the ball ahead of time.
I have to say that compared to the original "melon", the explosive power of the now 32-year-old "Sweet Pumpkin" has really dropped a lot.
But his energy is really much stronger than usual.
He didn't catch up with him the first time. If it was normal, he would have put his hands on his hips and watched him off.But this time, even though Li Wan had already controlled the ball, he still chased it for several meters unwillingly, and finally watched Li Wan complete the dunk.
The cheers reached their peak when the ball hit the basket.
2-0!
As soon as he came up, he completed a frontal steal. Needless to say, the morale that this ball can improve.
In the second offensive round of the Nets, Chris Paul flickered, but failed to reach the basket.
Speaking of which, this is also the real reason why Chris Paul has repeatedly failed at critical moments.
If others don't work hard enough, he may be very good, but when the opponent is serious about defending, he can only break through and score the ball, and then put his hands together, hoping that his teammates can stand up.
But at these times, he didn't have any comprehension in his heart, he insisted that "I can do it if I go up", which caused many times that there might be chances of winning or reversal, and the "door" was easily closed by himself.
This round is the same, all kinds of dribble breakthroughs, swaying the defenders in front of one after another, but because the Cavaliers' defensive speed is too fast, every time he swayed a person, there will be another defender immediately Those who make up in front of him.
For 17 seconds, he was just dribbling there.
A man surnamed Xu in China couldn't help shouting: "Pass, let's leave the dribble! The time is up!"
As soon as the words fell, the red light came on, and the Nets violated the 24-second offense. The man surnamed Xu couldn't help but shouted in anger: "Get out, Paul, get out of here! What is this fight!"
For two consecutive rounds, first the leading core was intercepted by the opponent face to face, and then the offensive end was defended against a 24-second violation.The gang of the Nets already had no fighting spirit, and even when they were standing on the defensive position, they were looking around.
Everyone knows that wild animals will look around when it is convenient, because they have no sense of security.
But at this moment, the guys from the Nets are like wild animals in a convenient time, full of uneasiness in their hearts.I'm afraid that if I accidentally place an order, I will be eaten alive by the other side.
You see, Thaddeus Young accidentally left alone. Facing Chris Bosh, he made various "hesitating steps" back and forth, and was finally left behind. He could only scare him with screams, and then Watch him finish the layup.
"When Dwight was playing against the Cavaliers, the defensive speed was too slow!" Kenny Smith believed that Howard should return to the defense in time this round. It can be defended back.
how come...
Kidd was also very dissatisfied with this, and kept gesturing to Howard: why, why, why!
Looking at his appearance, it means that he can't get started, or else he might give Howard a few "love slaps" directly to bring him back to his senses.
This nima is so slow to return to defense. If you don't know, you think you are playing match-fixing?
I, who just became the head coach, will be revoked for another 5 years of coaching registration...
Facing Kidd's questioning, Howard also reluctantly showed him a "I can't help it" expression.
Adams……
He "overwhelmed" me!
What can I do?
I am helpless too!
He was preparing to return to defense just now, but Adams subconsciously walked towards the basket. He could only focus on his own defense first, and...
This guy is really ruthless!
When Howard didn't pay attention, he felt as if he had been hit by a "fixing spell", unable to move at all.When he finally got rid of it, he was done.
It's not so much that he got rid of it as that Adams let him go.
On the bench, Kwame Brown looked at Howard's aggrieved face, and gave Adams a thumbs up with satisfaction.
When it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, Li Wan took the ball to the front court, and Anthony pushed forward full of desire. During the confrontation, Li Wan was also a little bit unable to get into the three-point line.This guy is really strong enough to defend himself seriously!
If you go to the bathhouse to rub someone's back, it is designated as a "gold medal hand rub"!
Under Li Wan's signal, Adams set up a pick-and-roll for him, but Li Wan didn't go on the side of the pick-and-roll. This successfully deceived Anthony and opened up a distance of about one body. There was not much room for Anthony to continue to catch up.
But it was enough for Li Wan to play around!
A "Crawford" type of bad luck, and then connected with a "Sam Gold" whose body changes from front to back...
To be honest, after this set of actions, Anthony can still catch up with Li Wan and ensure that he does not lose his position, which is already very rare, after all, the tonnage is here.
So when Li Wan made another "worship to Buddha" and wiped it in front of him, Anthony's entire center of gravity was also driven, and he fell backwards.
But at that time his action was the whole forward pounce. ——When he saw Li Wan make the gesture of "worshiping Buddha", he didn't think much, and directly intercepted him.
result……
"Bah!"
With a dull sound, Carmelo Anthony fell to the ground.
The cheers at the scene flooded the entire arena, and also flooded the live commentator in the stands. Carmelo Anthony, who was sitting on the ground, could vaguely hear the passionate voice of the commentator:
"Li Wan, knocked Anthony down!"
"Dump!"
……
"Bah!"
"beep!"
With the sound of dunks, Kidd called a timeout at the same time.
The familiar start called a timeout in less than 2 minutes.
Everyone in the Cavaliers subconsciously ran towards Li Wan.
Cook, who has the deepest relationship with Li Wan, is wearing training clothes, but the chest bump with Li Wan is the most passionate celebration.
Ok……
Don't care if your buddies play or not, but who told Li Wan's buddies to be buddies~
At this time, Anthony also appeared in front of his teammates' outstretched hands. He looked at them one by one. Although he didn't speak, the meaning he wanted to express was very consistent:
You said you're fine, so what's the deal with him?
You compete with him, is there any fruit for you?
Kobe can't beat him!
You who can't beat Kobe, how can you beat him?
Anthony felt more and more aggrieved.
Why is this guy doing so well?
It seems that his consecutive scoring in the third quarter killed the game in the last game, right?
I didn't see him have such a strong watch in the regular season...
Ok?
Anthony suddenly had a Hua point.
When Li Wan faced him in the regular season, it seemed that he rarely played such a performance in these two games.
Many of his highlight moments were played against other teams, when facing the Clippers or the Nets...he didn't seem to have played very seriously.
and so……
I was able to sweep him in the regular season, not because I was "Li Wankexing", but because he didn't use any strength at all?
"Damn!"
Howard just passed the towel to him, and when he heard his curse, he couldn't help scratching his cheek.
Yes yes yes, damn it!
He really had nothing to say.
damn it...
what?
Why didn't Howard fight back, you ask?
The main thing is that Anthony is too miserable. Let Li Wan play like this on both ends of the offense and defense. If he were Anthony, he would also feel that his mentality was out of balance. It is normal to scold his brother at this time.
Who doesn't scold a few words when driving Hei Shilian kneeling?
Ok……
He definitely didn't spoil him because he was afraid that Anthony wouldn't take him to drink new tea and taste the hardest number!
The game restarted after a pause.
Anthony, who suddenly discovered Huadian, looked at Li Wan, who continued to face him, with complicated eyes.Li Wan looked at his eyes and suddenly felt familiar.
Oh, by the way, those opponents who are about to be subdued, but have not yet been completely subdued, all looked like this at the time.
Anthony...
It doesn't work either!
Not as tempered as the Internet celebrity monkey at Hongshan Zoo.
It's only the beginning of the second match, so why are you planning to be convinced?
Could it be that I'm being too aggressive?
But to say that Carmelo Anthony does have a big problem.
His "triple threat" skills, let's put it this way, the ten "best in history" combined are not enough for him to play.But the problem is, among his "three threats", there are only "two threats", and the whole set of tactics is not complete at all.
When he played singles with the ball for more than ten seconds, the final shot was almost certain to be his own shot.
This also allowed Li Wan to confidently exert his strength boldly.
If he learns from his good brother "The Best in History", he might be really invincible.
Don't look at the "best in history" who used the "three threats" as a "war trampling", but he has practiced the last trick of "reasonable passing".People can't figure it out at all, he finally passed it on, or passed it on, or passed it on!
Isn't this "threat" much bigger than a single shot?
As long as Carmelo Anthony can figure out this point, he won't be tightly restrained by Li Wan at this moment.
Why is it said that "traditional small forwards" are declining in this league, and even after the 21st century, there is only a pure small forward like Carmelo Anthony.
That's why.
Here is an explanation.
In the original definition of basketball, the five players on the court have a clear division of labor.
The "traditional small forward" is only responsible for one thing, and that is scoring.
The "traditional shooting guard" is generally responsible for two things, one is defense and the other is catch and shoot.
Let's just say, before michael jordan came along, the [-] position wasn't a big deal in the league system... just ask the question, can you name the best [-] position before michael jordan ?
It is estimated that the "pistol" is the "ceiling".
And he has only entered the team twice...
This is another reason why Michael Jordan is great.
He really changed the status of the second position in the league.
Even the title "Front Guard Swingman" can be said to have started with him.
Only then did he have the glory of the "Four Shooting Guards"!
Compared with him, the influence of a certain "best player in history" in this regard is much weaker.
It is said that whether his title of "the best small forward in history" can be firmly established depends on whether Larry Bird's fans can still surf the Internet and tap the keyboard.
In short, although each era has its own voice, the long river of history is passing by slowly. After all, there will be a time when your fans can't touch the keyboard. At that time, there will be a public opinion on right and wrong.
"Peak Group Creator", "One Kneeling to Enter the Playoffs"...
These names are not good-sounding!
As long as Carmelo Anthony learns from LeBron James' "all-round skills", Li Wan may not be able to pinch him to death at this moment.
But rather...
He just doesn't have a good shot.
Moreover, Li Wan will let him hold the ball to make some adjustments every time, and then start to fight.
In this way, even if Anthony wants to pass the ball, he can't save face. ——If it's a pass, I don't know, I thought Anthony was afraid of Li Wan and dared not hit him alone!
Going out to inquire, is he Carmelo Anthony, the "King of Darkness in New York" who is so surrounded by Kevin Garnett that he dare not get out of the van?
Therefore, this defense also pays attention to "attacking the heart first".
When Carmelo Anthony hits a dead end, the collapse of this team is not far away.
In the second quarter, Li Wan put his main energy on the confrontation with Anthony, and then organized the pass and cultivated his teammates' scoring status.
In the third quarter, he turned on the "Nervous Knife" badge, and directly turned on "Wu Shuang". Under his leadership, the teammates who developed their touch also shot one after another.
It was the familiar "five up and five down" in the fourth quarter, and Jason Kidd once again waved the white flag.
Seeing the nearly 30-point difference, Kenny Smith smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. What kind of Eastern Conference finals is this? I don’t know, I thought it was preseason...
Do not!
I don't know, I thought it was an NBA team playing the American high school team!
This gap is too big.
"Too much affects Li Wan's stats!"
As "Li Chui", Barkley was very worried about Li Wan.
上一场比赛，就是因为只打了三节比赛时间，李万“才”拿到了35分10篮板12助攻，这场比赛更严重三节打卡下班的李万“才”拿到了33分8篮板9助攻。
If this continues...
After four games, Li Wan can't even score 30 points in three quarters?
How has this data shrunk down?
Shaq O'Neal, as another "Lee Blow", listened to Barkley's words, but at the moment just wanted to persuade him not to go too far.
He is enough to "Blow Lee", but he still feels that Barkley's state is a bit too outrageous.
Carmelo Anthony sat blankly on the bench.
His mind was full of Li Wan fighting against him on both offense and defense.
He first took a look at his statistics after three quarters, 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and a shooting percentage of 30%. Because Li Wan was the main defense, this game was even worse than the previous one.
He glanced at Li Wan's data again.
Anthony finally confirmed that the one he met was the serious Li Wan. As for whether he used all his strength...he really didn't know.Anyway, compared to the regular season, it has improved by at least 2 levels!
no……
Do you just look down on the regular season?
In fact, it is impossible for the "super giant" to do his best every game in the regular season. Carmelo Anthony also knows this. He himself just plays around on the court in some regular seasons.
But he didn't expect that the Li Wan he met in the regular season was no longer a matter of seriousness, he...
Release the water from the Pacific Ocean!
Am I your brother?
You put me in water like this!
"These are two very bad games. Next we will return to the home court. This may be the only good news. We will try our best to get the result at the last minute..."
Jason Kidd said so after the game.
He was also the only one on the Nets who expressed his views on the next game after the game.
Others, when asked "I will return to the home court next time, what changes do you think will happen", they all chose silence.
Silence is the Nets tonight.
Jason Kidd's words also caused ridicule the next day.
The key is that all the Nets players were too confident before the game, and they all believed that they would definitely beat the Cavaliers and reach the finals.
Chris Webber once again "asked the soul": why?
Everyone in the Nets: We are also forced, not to mention that there is no new tea to drink, who can bear it!
Now the result is a loss of 61 points, another loss of 37 points, two games almost lost 100 points.
There is a stark contrast before and after, and it is no wonder that the outside world laughs at them so much.
ESPN is the most ruthless, and directly posted the "silent beings" of everyone in the Nets.
Jason Kidd looked at these posts and wanted to confiscate the cell phones of everyone in the Nets immediately.Originally, the two defeats meant that there was no game to play, and now that the outside world is still so mocking, it is even more impossible to play...
He was very worried about the physical and mental state of his disciples.
Don't let it be that Xia Tian has just disbanded because of this season's good results in the "Eastern Finals", right?
But soon, Jason Kidd discovered that this is not the worst situation.
Worst case scenario is...
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
……
Lu Xun said that the farthest distance in the world is not that I have said a lot of words, but no one has recorded them.It's a group of people who say something I haven't heard every day, but they think it's me who said it.
At this moment, Jason Kidd thinks that what Lu Xun said is wrong. The farthest distance in the world is clearly when he is standing at the home court of the Nets, and all he hears are cheers for Li Wan.
you……
Still not a New Yorker! ?
Who is the local club in New York between the Nets and the Cavaliers? Don't you have any idea?
Yes!
We didn't play well in Cleveland. We lost 100 points in two games, which was an embarrassment to the New Yorkers, but there was no credit and hard work, no hard work...and fatigue!
We are...
Last glory of the State of New York!
The most exasperating thing is that when he was still in the locker room just before playing, he specifically emphasized to the players: "In this game, we are working hard for the Nets fans, we are fighting for Brooklyn, and we are guarding the Nets. Yes, the glory of New York!"
I guard your grandma's legs!
In the current situation, he really doesn't know how to explain to the Nets players.
He had an impulse now, and immediately rushed to the locker room, reorganizing his language: Children, let's surrender, there are all Cavaliers outside.
When the Nets came out, they were also stunned.
We are...
Still in Cleveland?
Yes!
It must be!
Otherwise, why all the cheers for Li Wan?
This is too unfair!
Why give Li Wan four home games?
Kenny Smith looked at the situation and couldn't help saying: "Why don't the Nets get back to New Jersey!"
Buckley glanced at him: "You think this can change..."
Regarding the relationship between New Jersey and New York State...
That is the same as the relationship between Nanjing and Ma'anshan.
As a result, the Nets took another "heavy punch" by accident. The morale that was left at first was like water in a dry sponge, and it couldn't be squeezed out no matter what. ——They also know that during the regular season, Li Wan's place here is the same as at home.
Can……
This is the playoffs!
The Clippers even had some more fans in the playoffs!
They should have a little more, right?
result……
On the contrary, the shouts of support for Li Wan became louder.
These traitors...
traitor!
"Come on guys, let's knock the cheers out!"
Jason Kidd is also a brain.
Seeing the defection of the home fans, it is necessary to use this to arouse the anger in the hearts of the Nets players.
but……
Judging from the process of the whole game.
Just kill it.
It's more realistic to shout "Da Baa" at the Cavaliers.
The Nets quickly lost their resistance, but there is also a good news, that is, the number of points lost is getting less and less. They lost 37 points in the last game, and they returned to the home court. This time they only lost 31 points.
If you work harder, you will only lose 20 points in the next game...
Drexler was full of emotion: "This is the Nets with Chris Paul, Howard and Anthony..." He was not surprised to lose to the Cavaliers, but it was indeed him who was beaten like this Did not think of things.
Bill Walton pointed out the key point: "Chris Paul and Howard's performance in this series is obviously not as good as expected."
After three games, Chris Paul averaged 16.3 points and 5.3 assists per game.
Howard only had 14.3 points and 8 rebounds...
The two of them were subdued by the Cavaliers' defense restrictions.
In addition, Li Wan personally led the defense in the last two games, and Carmelo Anthony, who did not perform well, was not surprised by the strong Cavaliers.
Chris Webber pointed out another key factor: "The loss of 61 points in the first game is too bad for morale. Generally, after losing such a game, the mentality of the players will change, so they are in a downturn and their state enters a trough. Couldn't be more normal..."
After losing the first game back home, the Nets have completely fallen into the abyss.
No team in the history of the NBA can complete a reversal after falling behind by a big score of 0-3.
Especially their Nets...
It's even more impossible!
Soon, the fourth game of the series came. The Cavaliers did not give a single chance and established a lead from the very beginning. It was playing the Spurs' "four flat and eight stable" routine, after expanding the point difference advantage to more than a dozen points, and maintaining this point difference, "boiling the frog in warm water" generally allows the Nets to lose without even a single chance. Contest.
After playing like this, it is indeed stable enough!
At least it's more stable than the previous games...
After all, if you force the rhythm, it is very likely that the opponent will seize the opportunity to fight back.
The Cavaliers did this in the first few games because the Nets' fighting spirit was broken by them.
This game suddenly played "simple and stable". In addition to wanting to win the game safely and without mistakes, there is another point that is Tyronn Lue's sophistication...
The so-called "beating people don't slap people in the face, so we can meet each other in the future".
They won the opponent by almost 130 points in three games. After asking about NBA history, has there ever been such a brutal series?
Everyone still wants to hang out in this alliance!
In the future, if he bowed his head and disappeared, Tyronn Lu didn't want to make things too extreme.
No, at the end of the game, Jason Kidd hugged him much harder.He obviously appreciates his kindness.
Anyway, no matter what the process is, judging from the results, the Nets have indeed played a game and lost less. If they play another seven or eight games, maybe the Nets can win a game up!
This also counts as his Jason Kidd transformation is effective, right?
After the game, the reporter asked Carmelo Anthony again: "Do you still think you can beat the Cavaliers and enter the finals?"
Anthony is now completely broken.
Where did this silly reporter come from!
We're all eliminated, so why beat the Cavaliers?
Another glance at the opponent's work card:
"New York Times"!
He is even more angry!
New Yorkers don't support New Yorkers, do they?
wrong……
New Yorkers look down on Brooklyn rednecks, don't they?
You engage in discrimination!
Just wait, wait for the court summons!
brat!
But when it came to Li Wan and the Cavaliers, he did change his opinion: "This team has all the factors to become a championship...especially..."
Probably because he is not used to boasting about Li Wan. When it comes to this matter, Carmelo Anthony paused, unable to say anything.
Yes, he admitted!
In these four games, after competing with Li Wan on both offense and defense, he has already been defeated by his opponent!
As a man, you have to admit that you lose, and you have to admit that the other party is stronger than you!
But why do I...
Can you open your mouth?
"Especially Li Wan?" A reporter responded knowingly.
Anthony finally got through, he nodded, and continued: "His performance on both ends of the offense and defense is eye-catching. This is a player that no one can deny..."
Of course that includes me...
Thinking about it this way, Anthony was much more open-minded.
Unexpectedly, the reporter suddenly said at this time: "Cameron, I don't know if you have noticed that this is the first time you have praised Li Wan in front of the media. Can we understand that it is this round? Because of the series?"
Anthony was almost broken again.
no……
You pervert!
It's okay, you are studying what I said before, what are you doing?
so...
Anthony didn't know how to answer for a while.
But he suddenly discovered that reporters are the group of people in this world who like to dig up old accounts the most.
And on the second day, the headline "Li Wan defeated Anthony in a series match" also dominated the headlines of the major media.
However, this did not cause too much discussion.
Originally, Li Wan's offensive and defensive suppression against Carmelo Anthony in these four games convinced Anthony. Isn't this a normal thing?
If he is not convinced...
So many fans in the league have to hold his head down to convince him!
While pressing, I have to ask: "Are you convinced, are you convinced?"
Meanwhile Cleveland was completely insane.
Because after eliminating the Nets 4-0, the Cavaliers won the trophy that symbolized the Eastern Conference championship at the home court of the Nets.
It also means...
The Cavaliers have officially reached the Finals!
Although it hasn't been long since they reached the finals last time, from 07 to now, it's only been 9 years...
Ok……
Compared with some teams that have not been able to reach the finals for more than ten or twenty years, the time they have not been able to reach the finals is really not that long!
But this is the city's last chance to own the O'Brien Cup!
Their mentality is very different from before...
This last time, they are really desperate!
Fortunately, Li Wan did it!
In his second season in Cleveland, he led the team to the Finals.
Now that they have won the O'Brien Cup, there are only the last 4 victories left!
The more important point is that...
Compared with the last time, they relied on LeBron James' "single Jedi counterattack" in the "Battle of Tianwangshan" in the Eastern Conference Finals and Daniel Gibson's help in the sixth game of the Eastern Conference Finals. They were lucky enough to enter the finals. — Judging from the situation at the time, it was really a fluke.If the buff of LeBron James in Game 31 as "the favorite of heaven" had an effect, then in Game [-], if Gibson scored [-] points outside the three-point line, it can be said that he spent all he had. As luck would have it, he's never been so accurate.
It's a pity that later fans only remembered "Jie Ming Zhan" in "Battle of Tianwang Mountain", but subconsciously forgot Gibson in Game [-].
Compared with the "deepened destiny" at that time, the Cavaliers this time are more like "unchangeable destiny".
The mighty Li Wan, and the Cavaliers with "strong soldiers and horses", so far in the three rounds of playoffs, the Cavaliers' record is a terrifying 12-0!
Yes, the Cavaliers entered the Finals with a winless record.
Such a strong sweep, the last time it was the New York Knicks, the absolute core at that time was Li Wan, and the final result was to win the championship;
The last time, we have to talk about the Lakers in 01. They also swept into the finals. In the end, they also ended the season with the championship;
Now it's the turn of the Cavaliers...
Doesn't such a sign mean that the Cavaliers can also win this year's finals?
And, there is good news!
At the same time that the Eastern Conference finals are over, the big score in the Western Conference Finals is currently tied at 2-2.
The Warriors, who lost one game first, won two games in a row. Green's "big mouth" couldn't be idle anymore, and he taunted a few words. In the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals that just ended, the Hornets united as one and gave Green a shot. The resounding "big fight" was followed by another round, bringing the two sides back to the same starting line.
Next they will start the fifth game of the series in Golden State.
Judging from the current situation, they are definitely going to play the 6th game, or even play the 7th game.
It's not that the Cavaliers can get more rest time.
Based on their results in the first three rounds, even if the four games of the finals are "back-to-back-to-back", their physical fitness will not be too much of a problem.
Anyway, before they fall, whether it is the Warriors or the Hornets, they are the first to fall.
Especially the Warriors, they just played a "tie-break" with the Thunder in the second round. If they play a "tie-break" with the Hornets...
The Cavaliers will definitely take advantage of physical fitness.
With both sides enjoying a fast-paced style of play...
Physical fitness problems will actually have a major impact on the results of the game!
Bill Walton said bluntly: "Whether it is the Warriors or the Hornets, for them, the top priority is to reach the finals as soon as possible, otherwise they will be very passive when facing the Cavaliers..."
It's just that his words, in the eyes of the Hornets and Warriors players, are nonsense.
Is it because we don't want to get to the Finals early?
Is this what we don't want?
Isn't this the other party's unwillingness?
"Battle of Tianwang Mountain".
From the very beginning, the two teams had a vigor to kill each other, and the score was tighter than "The Rock" Johnson's power vest.
Moreover, the defensive strength of both sides has stepped up to a higher level compared with the previous games.
It wasn't until the last 30 seconds that the point difference reached the largest point difference in the field. - 5 points!
勇士队以119比114，5分的分差在自己的主场艰难赢下了“天王山之战”，将大比分改写成了3-2.
But in the sixth game of the next series, the Hornets returned to the home court and scored 8 three-pointers in the first quarter. Although the "Splash Brothers" continued to respond , but after all, "four punches are hard to beat with ten hands", the Hornets wiped out the Warriors with the team's "super three-point rain" of 19 three-pointers.
The big score was tenaciously equalized to a 3-3 tie.
The Western Conference finals entered the final "big battle".
Continuous fast-paced confrontation, coupled with high-intensity confrontation, it can be seen that the faces of this group of people are more or less exhausted.
Seeing this scene, Bill Walton, who commented on the last game of the Western Conference series, couldn't help worrying about them again: "How much can you recover in these two days?"
Drexler couldn't help saying: "The competition in the West is really too fierce!"
This means that Barkley did not hear it, otherwise he would definitely jump back and say: "Isn't the competition in the East not fierce?"
In fact, the past few years can be described as "the most balanced period between the east and the west".
Whether it is the East or the West, there are strong teams.
Although the Warriors are number one in the league, they have the top five records in the entire league, and the Eastern Conference occupies three seats...
It's just that the Cavaliers are stronger, so it seems that other teams in the East are weak!
From the fermentation after the game, it can be seen from the public opinion of the entire league that these black people know how to hold together.
of course……
If Green is not stepping on Xiao Sa, but the league's super giants, I'm afraid it won't be the tune.
