Chapter 381: The Second Battle of the Finals

Is victory joyful? Of course, but while the joy continues, the Cleveland Cavaliers are looking forward to their next game.

The second game between the two sides is still being played in Cleveland, and the Finals are in the format of 232, with the first two and second games on the Cavaliers' home court, and the middle three games on the Lakers.

"Hey, what the hell is going on? What were you laughing at last time? When the first game ended, this was the most asked by Cavaliers fans, of course, in the "work ethic", Huang Xiang didn't say anything.

On June 1, 2012, Children's Day in China, Huang Xiang was interviewed by Li Hongjie before the start of the competition and expressed his blessings to Chinese children.

Today's game is still full, this year is the happiest year for the Cavaliers, the team's results have given everyone hope, the Cavaliers' championship, they are really close to the championship.

The Cavaliers have never won a championship since their establishment, and this season, when Huang Xiang was elected, they had no hope, and they were not optimistic about the Chinese guard at all.

There are more than one Chinese guards who have landed in the NBA, but those who return to China return to China and those who are eliminated are eliminated, and this time, they have no confidence.

However, after the end of the summer league, they changed their minds, this guy, it seems that his strength is really not ordinary, at this moment, they have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Subsequently, they were hooked by amazing deals again and again, and they were very happy to have O'Neill join, and many people liked this fat man who wanted to be funny.

And then Iverson and Carter joined one after another, which made them even more happy, such a team, what else do you say? Although the state of the three is in a declining period at this time, the former superstars still give them a different status from others.

If the three of them weren't enough, what about Howard after that? When Warcraft came to the Cavaliers, all the Cavaliers fans were boiling.

Such a super heavyweight guy made them extremely excited, such a person is what the Cavaliers need, and at the same time, they have to do it at this time.

Then the addition of West, the Hornets' super scorer, made their chests stand taller, and the morale of the Cavaliers rose high.

After a few games, the Cavaliers' record ranks first in the league, the fans are happy, the players are high, and the management is even more psychologically happy.

But the Cavaliers management didn't bring enough to the fans, and then they recruited super power forward Garnett into the team, although they lost West, but for the Cavaliers who urgently need to hit the championship, Garnett is obviously more effective.

Such a set of lineups, to the Cavaliers one surprise after another, in the end, they broke the best results of the Bulls, also created NBA records one after another, this reorganized team, like a brave and invincible little train, rushed to the championship.

Entering the playoffs, the Cavaliers went all the way, swept the Hawks, swept the Knicks, defeated the Celtics 4:1, and the Lakers 1:0 in the finals.

The second battle between the two sides, at 8:20 p.m., began on time.

There were nearly 22,000 people seated at the scene, and the fans at the scene were all crazy, in their opinion, such an opponent, such a game, it is worth watching, and again, the most important thing is to cheer for the Cavaliers.

The lineup of both sides is the same as before, Howard and Bynum jumped at the beginning, and today Bynum was not as excited as in the first game, and there was no irritable expression when he saw Howard.

Howard still had a better hand at the jump ball, giving the basketball to Jones, who handed the ball to Huang Xiang, who took half the court to Iverson.

There is no need to say how good Iverson's ball control skills are, watching several players in the field then throw to Huang Xiang on one side, Huang Xiang handed it to Howard, Howard rushed forward and passed the ball back to Garnett, Garnett made a shot and hit.

Welbrook handed the basketball to Kobe, who lunged for a two-step pullup jumper in a signature move that made Lakers fans feel comfortable.

"Whew" basketball hit, in Kobe's hands, such an emergency stop is still very simple, if it is at the peak, Kobe is estimated to be even more surprising.

When did Kobe Bryant at his peak, many people don't know that in the second year of entering the league, Kobe Bryant burst out with infinite firepower, and when it came to the Lakers, he was in full bloom, but because of O'Neal's relationship, Kobe's light has always been

Suppress.

So it is understandable that Kobe Bryant and O'Neal will compete for the title later, after all, a strong person has been pressed in the second position, and it will be unhappy.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers 30:28 Lakers, both sides had a high offensive intensity, maintained an efficient shooting rate, and the rhythm of both sides was not fast, basically every offense ended in more than 20 seconds.

Huang Xiang glanced at Kobe Bryant in front of him, and both of them returned to the court at the beginning of the second quarter, Huang Xiang went straight to the right side of Kobe with the ball, and the speed was extremely fast.

Kobe Bryant moved closely with Huang Xiang, but Kobe still didn't let Huang Xiang stop in front of him, Huang Xiang rushed past him and went straight to the inside.

Huang Xiang threw the basketball out with his big hand at his feet, and the basketball spun around the basket and then fell into the basket honestly.

"Lend you good words, young man, come on." Huang Xiang accentuated the tone of the three words of the young man, Kobe Bryant should be able to hear the cattiness inside.

Ignoring Huang Xiang, Kobe Bryant walked to the side to take the basketball and led it through the half court himself, and then threw the basketball to Bynum on the inside.

Bynum received the ball and stepped back, then accelerated again, rushed to the basket and made a layup.

The Cavaliers' defense has not slackened, and the main reason for the Lakers' frequent successes is Kobe's strong power, but Kobe Bryant is only one person after all, when he has a little trough, Huang Xiang stood up and scored 3 three-pointers in a row to directly overtake the score.

The Cavaliers' sudden attack Brown directly applied for a timeout, and the Cavaliers' lead is certainly not one or two points in this way.

So a change had to be made, and after the timeout, the Lakers changed their tactics and only played on the inside, temporarily changing their outside tactics.

Bynum and Gasol played a decisive factor at this time, although they did not have a good advantage in the previous games against the Cavaliers, but Brown really did not have any new tactics available at key moments, and besides, these two guys are not ordinary

Man, he believes that they should be able to cope with the defeat in the last game.

The two guys who came on the court with the hope of the team really achieved a little bit of success, and before the end of the second quarter of the game, these two guys really shined their own light, and the Cavaliers were blinded by the Cavaliers in the restricted area.

At the end of the second quarter, the gap between the Cavaliers and the Lakers was not very obvious, and the players on both sides quickly returned to the locker room to rest and wait for the second half of the game.

At the start of the second half, the Lakers still fielded the interior duo they valued in the second half of the first half, but this time they didn't have that obvious advantage.

The Cavaliers, Garnett and Howard, have all found their place on the court, and such a Cavaliers cannot be provoked by the Lakers.

In this way, the two teams become an interior super collision.

In the regular season, there was a big comparison between the interior of the Cavaliers and the Lakers, some people said that the Cavaliers were males, and the Lakers' interior was bears.

And today, the Lakers have to make a name for themselves, and the Cavaliers, Garnett and Howard also have to protect their name as the No. 1 interior team.

At 1 minute and 2 seconds in the third quarter, Howard received Garnett's pass and stepped back to the inside line to dunk Bynum with both hands, Bynum could only watch the Monster score, after all, the Monster's dunk opponent could not easily defend.

Then the Lakers served, Welbrook took the ball over the half court and threw it inside, Bynum took the basketball and took a big step forward, facing Howard did not continue to attack, threw the ball over the back of his head and handed it to Gasol, Gasol stepped to the left side and raised the ball with both hands and threw it to the basket.

Garnett took Huang Xiang's basketball, and his brother feint to shake Gasol and then got up and threw a shot, and the basketball went into the basket and caused Gasol to foul at the same time, Garnett stood at the free throw line and glanced at Gasol, with a smile on his face.

"Thank you." Gasol's smile was so glaring that it was full of irony for Gasol.

Garnett, who took over the referee's basketball, threw the basketball steadily with his low body, and made free throws again and again for him to practice a good hand, if this kind of shooting didn't go in, he was really a little embarrassed.

Brown's head appeared for a while, and then he had to make a new tactic, Kobe Bryant led, and the tactics were of course dominated by the outside line.

Seeing Brown make tactical changes, Scott smiled and made a few gestures at several people in the court, which meant to keep the inside tactics unchanged, while Huang Xiang launched an attack, combining inside and outside.

In this way, the Cavaliers obviously took the initiative of the game into their own hands, and the Lakers lost the offensive score on the inside, of course, there was a bit of a gap, but Kobe Bryant did not disappoint the Lakers fans a lot, this guy showed his core side,

A superstar is a superstar, scoring 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers led the Lakers by 7 points, still leading by a lot of scores, which made the Lakers still nervous.

In the final decisive time, the Lakers lost the initiative at the beginning, and the Lakers, who pressed the game too much on Kobe, fell apart when Kobe Bryant's physical strength was exhausted, and Carter made the Cavaliers see the role of a veteran superstar at this time

, the mid-range shot then caused the opponent to foul and make two free throws to pull the score away again, and the Cavaliers had a double-digit lead over the opponent after the main players of both sides came on the court in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers were suddenly much softer, and Brown was even more angry

threw the tactical board in his hand to the ground, and he had to pick it up under the eyes of the referee, he was really unwilling to play the game to such an extent, maybe he was a little uncomfortable just taking over the Lakers, but he also had no effect on him as a famous coach at this time

It's very unpleasant.

In the end, the Lakers, who collapsed in the fourth quarter, did not win, and the Cavaliers won 101-87 against the Lakers, and the double-digit victory gave the Cavaliers a morale boost, and with two wins, they will then start a three-game road battle in a row.
