Chapter 308: We Are the Champions! (3/3)
In this game, the Warriors were very tough on offense.
Originally, the Cavaliers were not in shape, and some of the players on the team also relaxed a lot.
As a result, in the third quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' state has collapsed.
Smith sipped his drink with a confused expression...... He didn't dare to speak anymore because he didn't catch up with many points in the third quarter.
By this time, Smith had already ducked to the edge of the bench, and he carefully observed James.
Seeing that he didn't mean to settle accounts with himself, he breathed a sigh of relief.
89:76! In the third quarter, James wanted to play, but was directly pressed down by Coach Lu.
In Lu's opinion, this is the best opportunity to show his coaching ability!
You play now, how to play in the last quarter. If I can't keep up, I'm going to be scolded.
Whatever she said, LeBron eventually returned to his seat and watched as the Warriors extended their lead to 13 points!
Owen also discovered the severity of the problem at this time......
But by the time he knew, it seemed to have already happened.
Indeed, as James expected, the first quarter of the game began...... The Warriors are already some way from them.
If the difference is around 5 points, he Irving doesn't care, but the key thing is that from the first quarter to now, the gap between the team and the Warriors is getting bigger and bigger.
Coach Lu: "Anyway, it's the end of the game. You pass the ball to ...... Zhan."
James: "What do you do with the ball all the time?" Can you change it?! Are you repeating the machine?! ”
Coach Lu: "...... That's okay not to pass the ball to James. Well, so be it."
Other Cavaliers Players: "......"
On the Cavaliers' side, the players found that it seemed that there was a certain conflict between James and Coach Lue.
The little emperor mainly blamed Lu for not letting him play in the third quarter.
Because of his move, this final game of the season has become extremely difficult!
James had to score 13 more points than the Warriors in this quarter to win them! And how easy is that?!
Teammates underestimate the enemy, and the manager and himself face each other......
Looking at these people around him, James was angry. It felt like they were all bought by the Warriors.
Wharton: "Cole is a little tired. He just asked me to relay the main play of the game in the fourth quarter, which is what we said before the game......"
None of the players on the Warriors' side spoke, just quietly listened to Wharton's setup.
Kerr stood for three consecutive quarters, 36 minutes of play, and played almost an hour and a half, which was too much in between.
There are also a lot of miscellaneous things, and he has been sleeping less these days, and Cole feels that his fatigue has come up a lot. So let Wharton go and tell the players.
I just leaned back in my seat in a daze, waiting for the game to start, and I continued to watch the game here.
Few fans of both teams left the field for today's game!
Back in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers' lineup was Tristan, James, Jefferson, Irving and Shambert.
At this time, Owen had no expression on his face at all. He wouldn't even go to see James.
Because if they can suppress the Warriors in the early stage...... It's not going to be so passive.
Coach Lu was also a little angry at this time. Is it wrong to pass the ball to James?
He, James, was quite reluctant. This is the core tactical rule of the former head coach of the Cavaliers~
Looking at the scorer, LeBron took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and took another deep breath.
His fitness has regained and in the last 12 minutes of the game, he has to fight to see who will score!
At the same time, the Warriors can't be allowed to score! It's too hard, because as long as the Warriors score better than them, the game can't be won.
James watched the start of the quarter, motioned for his teammates to pass the ball to him, and then dribbled to the front court himself.
Facing the defense of Thompson and Green, he finally chose to pass the ball to Tristan!
The third-quarter lineup on the Warriors' side was Vallejo, Green, Thompson, Li Feng and Curry!
Seeing that the other party wanted to make a layup, Vallejo went up and flew out directly with the ball!
Tristan is also in a hurry! After bouncing off the floor, he pushed Valejo directly.
And Vallejo didn't expect it, so he fell directly to the floor.
James: "The referee faked his fall!" When I was a teammate with him, I knew he was faking a fall! ”
The three referees were also deciding the matter at this time. Vallejo immediately got up from the floor.
Make a spread-out gesture.
Vallejo: "Can the referee continue?" I don't blame Tristan for not standing firm just now, I don't blame him."
The referee also nodded, since the parties didn't care about it, the matter would be over.
But just as the referees were about to walk back, Tristan pushed Valejo again with a hard push!!
This time, Vallejo slammed to the floor. Sudden sharp pain in the right arm!
James: "Are you crazy?!" What the hell are you doing today?!!! ”
The referee passed by LeBron at this time and made a big gesture of "you leave the arena now" without mercy.
Tristan was fouled on the spot for a malicious foul!
Green: "Sometimes I have to admire you, you are much more violent than I thought~ Hey, don't do it~ I called the security guard?! ”
Dream Chaser took the opportunity to fan the flames directly to Tristan at this time.
Vallejo had to leave the field because of a possible arm problem.
Lefu was already tired, but in the end he had to play.
James felt like a volcano about to erupt at this point. I'm so angry!
got the rebound right away when the Warriors didn't score, and then ignored James and went to the frontcourt to score three points!
89:79! Li Feng dribbled the ball across the half court, and without Smith's entanglement on the field at this time, Li Feng's condition was much better.
Naturally, Champbert would not let go of Li Feng, and quickly rushed through the half court to put him down, but finally received a foul. Li Feng hit all 3 free throws!
LeBron dribbled the ball, faced two defenders of the Warriors, and finally scored points with both hands!
The Cavaliers are also getting weak on the inside right now. If you want to say that their team's best defensive ability should be Tristan, the defense under the basket is solid!
But now James is definitely focusing on offense.
Jefferson wasn't as good as he was when he was younger. And Lefou's physical fitness is a big problem at this time.
I had a bad thought in my heart, and it seemed that this game was going to be won.
The expression on LeBron's face when he thought of this became even more terrifying!
Thompson broke in, Green got the basketball and went to the basket for a layup, and James directly slapped the basketball on the rebound!
Jefferson got the ball and ran over quickly!
......
"Let's talk about it next season! Let's talk about it next season! Next season......"
At this time, the fans at the scene shouted loudly.
The faces of the players on the Cavaliers' bench turned blue and white.
112:100! Lefu was playing with his will at this time.
With a 12-point difference, the game is coming to an end. What to do? Does it take a player to score like Maddie?
Coach Lu was also deflated at this time.
LeBron continued to hold the ball to the frontcourt, and with his four teammates watching and five players working together to defend, the basketball was finally covered by Green!
Li Feng immediately ran wildly, and the basketball arrived at Curry shortly after, and the latter hit three points again!
115:100! The little emperor continued to ask for the ball, and this time he had three Warriors players hanging on him and just dunked the ball in. Hit 2+1!
Then Thompson hit another three-pointer, and LeBron also hit a three-pointer back! 118:106!
The Warriors' side didn't score this time. Owen quickly took the basketball and ran straight over to the basket to score points!
Then Li Feng hit a three-point shot! The game is coming to an end. The players of the Cavaliers are dead set on this moment. This season is the end of the season.
James didn't stop anyone this time, and directly shot a three-pointer.
Curry got the basketball, and the opponent didn't mean to defend him, but Curry rushed directly across the half court and hit a three-point shot in less than 3 seconds in the end!
124:111! In Game 7, the Warriors didn't let the last game repeat. They kept the Cavaliers in rhythm until the end of the game!
Owen: "Yay~ This season is finally over~ Has James figured out where to play? ”
James: "Get out. Don't tell me to go anywhere."
Smith: "Say a few words, Owen......"
Owen turned around and went straight back to the locker room at this point. James followed quickly.
It didn't take long for the news to break in the locker room.
I don't know who kicked the trash can, and the iron door of the locker room was kicked out of shape.
Owen and James had a big fight in the locker room!!
Several players on the Cavaliers' side went over to stop the two from getting into a big fight in the locker room......
There was confusion on the opponent's side. On the Warriors' side, the players threw Coach Kerr into the sky.
When he was thrown out, Cole's heart was really scared......
He was afraid that he would accidentally break a bone or something. This season, he was injured in a car accident and left a certain psychological shadow on him.
But he was really happy. Because finally won the championship!
The Warriors have worked hard for so many years to finally get this trophy!
Li Feng, Curry, Thompson, and Green took a group photo outside~
Coach Wharton was smiling from ear to ear and chatting with his assistant colleagues.
It didn't take long for the award ceremony to take place, and the whole team took the stage together! Pick up that O'Brien Trophy!
If Li Feng couldn't prove anything with the team last season, then this season so far, some media have to admit that Li Feng is really a koi~
In his second year in the NBA, Li Feng got his second championship ring!
Walton: "It's a lot of credit to the players and the manager.
But some of the manager's tactical arrangements were written by our assistant coaches. Ha ha...... You know what I'm going to say, but not the one you think.
I would say that if the team gets this, we must have done it together. I've been with the Warriors since I came to the Warriors this season and I felt like I'm working with a bunch of talented people. ”
Reporter: "So will you continue to be the team's assistant coach next season?" ”
Wharton: "You asked, manager Kerr asked me the same question. But what I'm trying to say is, I don't really know. It's up to the team management to decide on this. ”
After a few short sentences, Wharton left the field. He also attended the press conference with the team.
Kerr: "We've been controlling mistakes and trying to play efficiently.
Now we're seeing the results, and that's that we're doing better than the Cavaliers. Much better.
So we won the game. That's it! We are the overall champions! So happy! Because we're ready for this championship for ......."
Lefu 12 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists! James 33 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists! Jefferson had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists! Irving had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Shanbert had 11 points, 2 assists and 3 steals.
On the Warriors' side, Speights had 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists! Green had 6 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists! Thompson 27 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists! Li Feng 9 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists! Curry 36 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists!
In the hallway, the players got into a fuss~ Green didn't know where to get champagne and spilled it all over the locker room~ and he wasn't worried about anyone getting angry.
kissed the trophy fiercely, Li Feng took a photo with the players, with the coach, and with the trophy.
Then he, Curry, Thompson, and Green each started smoking a large cigar in their hands.
The season is now officially over in the world.
But Li Feng, they still need to carnival for a while!
Green: "I knew we were going to make it to the end of the season. Very simple. Because they can't beat us. We have very good defensive players in the team.
Although these players need to be developed. But it's a season and it's time for them to show their defensive results.
Vallejo was great, Iguodala didn't say. Li Feng doesn't need to say it. I thought about it a lot, but in the end I didn't expect him to make self-sacrifices.
The main focus is on organizing the team, so that the overall operation of the team becomes much better. It may feel like we can't win or score fewer points, but I'm telling you, it's the opposite. See how many points we won tonight? ”
Thompson: "I think we can't do without Li Feng as a team. He's a very well-rounded player. Maybe that's a bit of a mistake. But I think Li Feng can do almost anything.
I've had a question in my mind for years. That's why we have few opponents in the regular season. Not so much when it comes to the playoffs? Later I figured it out. We lack a player like Li Feng. ”
Curry: "Playing is a process for me. You know, if you want to win the next game, you have to start with the first ball. Whether it's winning the first round of the playoffs or the Western Conference Finals.
Or get here. None of them can be done right away.
We've been through a lot, a lot in the playoffs. No, no, more than you think. It's true.
Every opponent we faced in the playoffs threatened to kill us. But in the end, we were all killed~ We proved ourselves with our strength.
But at the same time, he is also aware of his own problems. It's similar to what Green and Thompson said earlier.
Without Li Feng, it would have been a lot more difficult for us in the playoffs this season. ”
