Chapter 1016: Self-doubting little emperor
??
After Tang Tian made such an answer, there was a commotion among the reporters below.
What does it mean to be less intense than an intra-team training match?
Hey, it's the Grand Final!
You mean the Cavaliers are rookies?
This is obviously provoking the opponent!
This is very unbelievable!
Although you used to be Don not low-key Spurs rookie day, you have been very low-key since you arrived with the Pelicans!
In addition to kicking Green's eggs, stepping on Pachuria's feet, buying a superyacht worth more than $100 million, holding a world-renowned wedding, building a worldwide foundation, and becoming a city hero in New Orleans, you are still very low-key!
"I don't mean to belittle the opponent, I'm just aiming for this fight."
Tang Tian also realized that what he said might be misunderstood, and immediately explained again.
Ooh!
Just for this game!
Does that mean the Cavaliers are playing badly?
It's still a provocation!
Tang Tian saw the reaction of the reporters in the audience, and suddenly found that it was inappropriate to explain it.
Originally, he was telling the truth, and the Pelicans' starting wing defense must be better than the Cavaliers'.
In order to achieve the purpose of preparing for the war during the previous training, Holiday and the others also tried to defend him to the death, so he was very uncomfortable.
Just as after experiencing great suffering, people no longer regard small suffering as suffering.
He's gone through Holiday and their super high-intensity defense, and then it's going to be easier and more comfortable to deal with the Cavaliers.
So what he said was exactly what he really felt.
But no one seems to believe it!
And the more he explained, the more wrong it became, and he simply didn't explain it.
The content of the Pelicans' post-game press conference was reported, which immediately caused an uproar among fans on social media.
"! I like it! The first person in the alliance should have this kind of domineering! ”
"Haha, why don't you play in the finals, let's watch the Pelicans' in-team training game!"
"And then the winning team wins the championship? The Pelicans won the championship and runner-up in advance? (?ω?)”
"Hey, I'm angry, but I can't seem to do anything, blue thin shiitake mushrooms!"
"Damn, my emperor will call back! The Cavaliers will fight back! ”
"Don't deceive people too much! Is it true that I don't have fans? Don't get too complacent, you'll be looking good in the next game! ”
"That's it, the first person in the history of my emperor, beat the Tang Dynasty!"
……
The fans are arguing on social media, and the atmosphere is tense, just like a real person with a keyboard PK.
Tang Tian accidentally lit the fuse of the war.
The next game of the finals is still three days away, but this time it will be in New Orleans.
This is a great opportunity for the Pelicans to defend their title.
And for the Cavaliers, their fate is hanging by a thread.
The day before Game 5 of the Finals, the entire Cavaliers flew to New Orleans.
The plane was a charter flight, and except for JR Smith, who was playing cards there with a lot of hearts, everyone else was doing their own thing, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
No, it's not boring.
If they were still hoping to drag the finals into overtime in the last game, now they are a little confused.
1 to 3, the teams that have achieved a comeback in the Finals in NBA history, 0.
Yes, not one.
The most recent was the Cavaliers, who also trailed the Pelicans 1-3 in last year's Finals.
What happened after that is also known to everyone, they pulled the total score to a 3-3 draw, but in the end, Tang Tian scored 62 points in the third quarter to end the tie-break battle early.
They didn't succeed last year, and they didn't succeed with Xiao Hua's help.
Without Xiao Hua this year, the probability that they will turn over, the same as the number of teams, is almost 0.
So if they lose the last game, they've basically lost.
That's why the atmosphere on the plane is so dull.
James bit his nails and looked out the window, his mind already tumbling.
Leaving Miami and coming to Cleveland to play hometown basketball with the infamy of betraying his brother was the best choice he made after combining all factors.
After all, the Cavaliers had Irving at the beginning, and Love at the peak, and the strength of the Big Three on paper did not look worse than the original Heat.
If he can bring the first championship in history to his hometown, then his position as the first person in the league will be further consolidated.
He even had the opportunity to chase the position of the first person in Jordan's history.
But it backfired, just like when he was overturned by the Spurs in the Heat, he looked like he was on the Cavaliers and was going to be beaten by the Pelicans in a row.
The person who made him run over and suffer such a bad luck was none other than Tang Tian, the person who would give him a headache when he heard the name.
And what's even more deadly is that Tang Tian is far from the Tang Tian of the original Spurs period, and the current Tang Tian is stronger than him.
Figuratively speaking, the champion, the first person in the league, Tang Tian took away everything that originally belonged to him.
It makes him hate, but he's not like Durant, he has to maintain his image.
Emotions could not be vented, and over time, he had to start self-doubting.
Is it necessary for him to do so?
Love is getting more and more inefficient, and Owen looks completely devoid of his previous sharpness, as well as the cheating Whiteside.
And these guys have long contracts that will be the structure of the Cavaliers for years to come.
If they can't beat the Pelicans this year, they may never get a chance again.
After all, he is getting older, and there is less and less time left for him.
He is now on a 1+1 contract, does he really want to stay in Cleveland?
"LeBron, what are you thinking?"
As he was thinking, James Jones sat down next to him and asked with a smile.
James saw that it was Jones, and if he wanted to say that he was in the league, the only big brother he recognized was Jones.
"Nothing."
James smiled, and put his thoughts away for a moment.
"I know you're thinking about tomorrow's game, don't worry, we believe in you and you're going to lead us to win the game."
Jones said with trust in his eyes.
James nodded earnestly after listening.
Let's wait until the future, they still have games to play.
Even if you can't win the championship, at least you have to win one more game than last year.
You can't lose the team's lineup this year, and you can't lose the enthusiasm of the Cleveland fans.
Fight one game at a time, and the opportunity may be played.
Looking at the gaze in James's eyes, Jones also knew that he had rekindled his fighting spirit.
The defeat in the last game was not a mistake on the part of Lu and the coaching staff, and there was a big reason for their sluggish form.
Now with their backs to the water, they have to win at least one more game.
The 1-3 finals have never been overturned, but it's not that difficult to think about it.
Win the next game, take another home game and play a tiebreaker, unite as one, anything can be done.
Not to mention that they have James.
