Chapter 1179: James's Worries

127:103。

This is the score of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics.

The overall score has become 3:2, and the Cavaliers have already got the match point.

After a small celebratory celebration in the locker room, the Cavaliers didn't even have time to rest and headed straight to Boston.

There, they will play their last two away games.

It's great to win the first game, but if you need to play again, it's a bit tired.

So after playing this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers flew directly to Boston first, and after arriving in the early morning, they rested until noon, and then got up to train normally.

This will save the day and it will be easier to adjust to the sixth game and win the sixth game.

It's just that the Lakers put too much pressure on them, and they can only fight hard for that little chance of victory.

Sitting on the boss's private jet, LeBron James was very tired, but he couldn't sleep.

This year's James is much better than last year's.

Or it can be said that because he knew that he would definitely have a decisive battle with Shen Huan again this year, he worked harder and harder.

LeBron James was originally a training maniac, and it was rare to see him eating and drinking everywhere, especially after the age of 30.

was bloodied by Shen Huan in the finals last year, and James was very devastated.

Originally, James felt that he was the strongest person in the NBA now, but compared with Shen Huan, he was like a rookie who had just joined the NBA, facing a superstar in the league.

James, who has a particularly strong sense of victory and defeat, naturally can't stand such a blow.

Therefore, in last year's offseason, James did not even go on vacation, but chose to intensify training.

As a result, in the preseason, he received the news that Shen Huan was about to return in the playoffs.

At that time, James was ambitious and wanted to fight Shen Huan again.

In the regular season, when facing the Lakers, the Cavaliers won three in a row, and James single-handedly suppressed Kobe, Iverson and Howard, and was exclaimed that the "little emperor" is back.

James' stats also hit a new high in the regular season.

He averaged 32.4 points and 10.3 rebounds, 11.2 assists, 4.2 blocks and 2 steals per game.

Only one person averaged a triple-double in the regular season before this year.

That was Oscar Robertson.

As a result, not only did Westbrook do it this year, but James also did it, and he overpowered Westbrook.

Westbrook is 28 years old, which is the prime age for basketball players.

And James is 32 years old, and it is a miracle that his ability to beat Westbrook.

But the game has been played so far, and James has not yet played with Shen Huan, and he already has the feeling of powerlessness that Westbrook felt at the end of April.

The reason is simple, when it comes to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers only swept their opponents in one semi-final round, and the other two games were won or lost.

And what about the Lakers?

All three rounds of matches were 4-0, and no matter which team it was, all of them were clean sheets.

And the worst game has won by more than 20 points, and there are even more than 60 points.

With such a strong result, no matter who touches the Lakers, they will lose three points in terms of momentum.

James himself is fearless, even if he loses, he has to fight with Shen Huan.

But what worries him is the mood in the team.

In fact, the outside world commented that the Cavaliers only had 2 superstars, which James disagreed.

At least he thinks that this season's big forward Kevin Love has reached the standard of a superstar.

Kevin Love averaged 19 points and 11.1 rebounds per game as a power forward, ranking in the top 10 power forwards in the league.

With such a result, he is actually a strong contender for the best second team.

All he lacked was an honor, a championship honor.

Compared to the Lakers' Ingram, Kevin Love can definitely blow him up directly.

At this point, James is not in the least worried.

But apart from himself, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, the Cavaliers' bench is much worse.

Another backup power forward, Tristan Thompson, sometimes plays center with Kevin Love, and his stats are okay, reaching 8.1 points and 9.2 rebounds.

It's okay to beat others like this, but he will definitely be blown up by Shen Huan under the basket on the defensive end, and Howard, who has been brave recently, will also be disabled on the offensive end.

In addition to Tristan Thompson, the Cavaliers have no one left, and center Channingfrye can only play purely with the bench.

Shen Huan is a person who is really too changeable, he can directly play a full 4 quarters and 48 minutes in a game without resting.

It means that the second bench has him.

The first team can't beat him, let alone the second team.

In fact, most of the losses in the games between the Warriors and the Lakers were lost to the second team.

Shen Huan can stand up to it, but none of their big three can.

As we all know, the game of basketball is a very physically demanding and explosive sport.

In this kind of sport, there is no player who can play for 90 or even 120 minutes in a row like a footballer.

It can have about 35 minutes, which is considered a normal performance.

If you can play for more than 40 minutes, that's the realm of physical strength.

Playing a 48-minute game may be able for many people to grit their teeth and hold on, but playing every 48-minute game is something that absolutely no one has been able to do before, let alone a more intense playoff game.

Now Shen Huan has done it.

He only played three quarters before the division finals, not because he didn't have enough physical strength, but because he didn't have that need at all, he got the opponent in three quarters.

Moreover, Shen Huan is a very strong and oppressive style of play.

If other players fight hard with Shen Huan, it is absolutely impossible to last 48 minutes, not even James.

The second team of the Cavaliers is a little worse than the Golden State Warriors, what do you tell them to fight Shen Huan to the death?

Shen Huan alone can blow them all up.

They are completely Shen Huan's scoring machines.

Thinking of this, James unconsciously missed his big brother - Wade.

If Wade was also on this team, it would definitely be much bigger to win the championship.

Because Wade himself is a superstar in the single-core Finals, with Wade in charge, and James himself fighting to the death, then the remaining three elders of the Lakers must not be able to hold up under the serial blows of Wade, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love.

Where it seems to be now, his own heart is empty.

Back in Cleveland, James just wanted to bring a championship to his first parent team.

How do you know that it is so difficult and tortuous?
