The Godfather of Basketball

Finally, I met the Cavaliers.

At the beginning of the season last night when Deron and Irving traded, most people felt that the Cavaliers made a steady profit and they will become the biggest challenger for the Warriors. Even after the Nets traded with George, they felt that the Cavaliers experience was dominant , Will still stand out in the east.

But no one expected that Deron would relapse, and no one expected the Cavaliers defense to be so bad after Irving, known as the team's defensive black hole, was traded and left.

Even Owen's departure is like taking away the last shield of other players, and the performance of others is so bad.

In fact, after the Cavaliers season record is not as good as expected, fans have various analysis, James abolished teammate theory, teammate CBA theory, Cavaliers management waste theory is endless.

But these things have become a thing of the past.

James played a great playoffs. After experiencing a series of twists and turns, he led the Cavaliers to the East finals stage.

The encounter between the two teams is also full of various topics.

First of all, the two teams exchanged their starting point guards in the past offseason, which means that their teammates last season will become their opponents.

This is a very wonderful feeling, and probably only the two parties Deron and Irving can experience the five flavors.

Secondly, this is also the fourth consecutive year that the Cavaliers and the Nets met in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavaliers Series scored 1 to 2 behind.

At the same time, this is the fifth time that Tang Tian and James met in the Eastern Conference Finals. Except that James Tian won the season when Tang Tian just entered the Nets three years ago. At other times, both in the Heat and the Cavaliers, James lost.

The Nets lineup three years ago was sparse. James won't be very persuasive, and it looks like the Cavaliers are in a disadvantage this year. He wants to prove from Tang Tian that he can win the championship without Tang Tian. may.

Third, this may be James' last playoffs in the Cavaliers.

In the case of a high probability of being eliminated, the Cavaliers' exploded salary and completely blocked recruitment space, no matter where James will decide to go in the summer, the Cavaliers will basically not be his option.

Some people have accused James, and some people have complained about the management, but no matter which one, unless the Cavaliers win the championship, the probability of James staying is 0, and if they lose to the Nets, this event will happen directly in advance.

A wide variety of topics have attracted attention in this series.

However, Tang Tian and James, the two major figures, are very light on these.

"Our goal is the championship, everything else is not important to us." Tang Tian said directly when asked about the encounter with James again.

"There are no so-called grudges. I just want to help the team win the series. I want to bring the fourth championship to Cleveland." James said.

The parties deliberately downplayed, but the fans disagreed, they can't wait for the game.

The Western Conference semifinals have already played two games at this time, the Warriors lead the Rockets 2-0, they are getting closer and closer to the two consecutive championships.

The following day, the Cavaliers and Nets games began.

The Barclays Center was full, with fans holding up the "Nets Championship" and "beating LeBron" logos.

At the commentary table, Buckley sat with Smith and O'Neal.

After the opening ceremony, the two team members finally warmed up before the game.

The scene gave a split shot of James and Tang Tian.

James sat on the sideline and bit his finger, while Tang Tian watched the players warm up on the field with deep eyes.

"Do you think the Cavaliers have a chance?" Smith turned to look at his two partners.

"No, I think the only chance for the Cavaliers to win is in the offseason, when they at least seemed to have a chance, but now they are not the Nets' opponents at all." Barkley showed no mercy.

"Charles, you're not humorous at all, Shaq, what do you think?" Smith turned to look at O'Neal.

"LeBron continues his outstanding performance in the semi-finals. I think the Cavaliers still have a chance. In other words, we have witnessed two miracles (referring to the first round and the second round), and I think it is not the third time. Maybe. "O'Neal and Barkley disagree.

"Hey, Shaq, you have to pay attention to the basic law. The Nets' current strength and status are the best in the league. It is not Bogdanovic or Tatum that LeBron is going to play against. His opponent is Paul George, who can still score 40 points? And the Cavaliers' defensive roadside will be bombarded by the Nets. "Barkley immediately refuted O'Neal.

"So I said it was a miracle. After the first-round tiebreak with the Pacers, who would have thought the Cavaliers could win against the Celtics? Who? No one, but he did it, so when most It may happen when people don't think so, "O'Neill responded.

"You are a hooligan." Barkley dismissed it.

"Okay, okay, the game will start immediately, maybe we will know who is right and who is wrong through the game."

The three warmed up the atmosphere well before the game. When the referee whistled, the Cavaliers and the Nets also officially started the game.

The Nets side is the regular lineup, outside Owen and Butler, forward George and Yi Jianlian, center Jokic.

On the Cavaliers side, Deron and Korver on the perimeter, James and Love on the wing and center Thompson.

Yi Jianlian jumped to win over Thompson, with the Nets leading the offensive.

Jokic's three-pointer response, George pulled James to the bottom corner, Yi Jianlian's high pick and roll, Butler and Irving interspersed and ran.

The Nets' superstar system is playing basketball.

Butler got a chance to get a cut and caught the layup.

But at this moment, James prejudges in advance and rushes over to the air to interfere strongly.

After Butler dodged his shot and missed, the rebound was caught by James.

The Cavaliers played a direct counterattack, and Korver missed a three-pointer after catching the ball, but James rushed to grab the rebound and make up the scoring.

There was a restlessness at the scene ~ www.readwn.com ~ James this state is really good, there is a sense of existence on both ends of offense and defense.

Jokic made a three-pointer at the top of the arc. After the ball was shot, it hit the back of the rim and bounced up. Thompson received a defensive rebound.

The Nets retired quickly this time, without giving the fast break chance.

James went back to George directly in the frontcourt, saw Owen assist in defense, and turned sharply back towards the bottom line.

George's flying interference interfered.

"Oh!"

But after passing the ball, he crossed a high parabola and still scored!

4 to 0!

The Cavaliers took the initiative in the opening.

"What am I talking about? LeBron! Miracle!" O'Neal shouted excitedly at the commentary.
