Chapter 338: Never Absent! (5/5! )

Davis's comeback was supposed to be a strength improvement for the Celtics, but perhaps no one expected that his comeback would have stimulated all the Cavaliers players.

It's about turning anger into strength.

As a result, the last time the Celtics started the game, they didn't take advantage, and this time the bench was miserably.

O'Neal had 16 points and seven boards, Green had 12 points, Anderson had 12 points, and Beverley had eight points, four boards, three steals and two assists.

It was also with the excellent play of the substitutes that the Cavaliers won the key battle of Tianwang Mountain 108-93, and after falling behind 1-2, they won two games in a row, rewriting the big score to 3-2, and took the lead in getting the match point to advance to the finals.

This shocked the media and fans, and the fall of a Wallace made the team lose a lot of strength, but after forcing Tang Tian to sacrifice the ultimate weapon, it became even stronger.

After a two-day break, the two sides returned to Cleveland for the Cavaliers' match-point match.

The Big Three continued to play well, scoring 80 points together, but they couldn't stand the Cavaliers' all-out life, and finally lost 109-116.

James recorded a big triple-double of 38 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and Louis Williams also scored the first 30 points of his playoff career.

After the home game, the Cavaliers also eliminated the Celtics 4-2 and advanced to the Finals without being favored by everyone.

This is also the fourth time in Tang Tian's coaching career that he has reached the finals!

Four years of coaching, four years of finals.

Never absent!

"Incredible!"

Although the promotion is a foregone conclusion, the result is still unbelievable, and Barkley is still unbelievable on the show.

Just a bunch of veterans and rookies actually made it to the finals.

Is the Cavaliers going to replicate the miracle of the Rockets in the 94~95 season?

After the curtain came down on the vigorous Eastern Conference Finals, Tang Tian arranged for Casey to lead the team in daily training, and then got on the plane to Houston.

"Are we going to win the finals?"

Before leaving, Casey asked Tang Tian with a smile.

"Yes."

Tang Tian gave his first assistant a positive answer.

But in fact, he didn't have a definite answer in his own mind.

The Cavaliers' win over the Celtics had something to do with Wallace's dominance, Davis' hatred for his crimes, and James' outbursts and his ultimate weapon.

In other words, the Cavaliers can win, there are many external factors, and if the two sides pull apart to play a series, the Cavaliers may not be able to win.

Now, they're going to challenge the Rockets or the Lakers.

The strength of these two teams is the strongest in the league this season.

The Rockets returned to their bench strength after bringing in Salmons, while the Lakers did not sign Artest as they did in their previous life, but they kept Ariza.

And the Celtics, who played a series with the Cavaliers, are less Rasheed Wallace and Michael Finley than in their previous lives.

In a word, the Cavaliers will be four or six open against either the Rockets or the Lakers, or even three or seven.

When he arrived in Houston, Tang Tian went back to his uncle and aunt's house, gave some gifts or something, and went to the Toyota Center that night.

He went back to Houston to see the Rockets and Lakers steal the seven-game game.

Sitting in the familiar arena, he felt a little emotional.

The game entered the opening ceremony, and the familiar names of Yao Ming and Medi were even more like yesterday.

In addition to sighing, Tang Tian was still a little surprised in his heart.

At the beginning of the season, the system said that after leaving the host, the abilities gained by the player would gradually disappear.

But Yao Ming and Maddie are not injured yet, and their luck is really good.

The system says that at most one season, if you really do the math, it will not be counted until the offseason.

The game started quickly, and the two teams played quite anxiously.

Hitting the tie-break also shows that the difference in strength between them is not large.

Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue's level can feel that it is much weaker than Tang Tianshi, but it seems that the weakness is not so obvious.

The abilities given to them by the system are gone, but they have played so many games in the NBA, and the accumulation of training and experience is more or less.

The two are not in conflict.

The Rockets trailed the Lakers by 10 points at 47-57 in the first half.

Thibodeau's tactics were a bit rigid and were somewhat targeted by Phil Jackson.

At the beginning of the second half, the photographer on the scene actually found Tang Tian in the crowd.

There was a burst of cheers and whistles from the audience.

Tang Tian also smiled and waved to the fans.

When the camera passed, the fans next to him greeted him warmly and took photos.

You can feel that even though it's almost a season past, the fans here still remember what he did for the city.

Coming back in the second half, the Rockets were still being targeted by the Lakers, but Yao Ming suddenly took the initiative to increase the frequency of individual offense.

The Lakers' interior line is a bit difficult to parry.

As MVP, Yao Ming also has his own system, and after he opened it, the entire Rockets team also came alive.

In the wave of cheers of the fans at the scene, the Rockets pressed the score closer little by little.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides finally tied, and the game became a confrontation time between Kobe and Maddy.

At the last moment, Maddy assisted Yao Ming to score 2+1 after blocking and dismantling, and the Rockets successfully reversed the game, won the tie-break, and eliminated the Lakers for the third consecutive year to reach the finals.

Kobe Bryant scored 43 points again and was successfully promoted to the leader of the group.

Yao Ming scored 37 points, Maddie scored 32 points, and the two cores broke out together, and they were tired enough.

When interviewing on the sidelines, Yao Ming was panting and wiping sweat.

After watching the game, Tang Tian also left the arena.

Before coming, he was a little uncertain, but after watching the game, he felt that the Cavaliers were not completely out of chance.

The Rockets won the tiebreaker to reach the Finals for the fourth consecutive year and are also expected to create another four-game winning streak after the Celtics.

The players on the team are excited, and so are the fans.

At the post-match press conference, Morey was full of spring breeze.

"What was the team's motivation to get Salmons in the playoffs, averaging 13.8 points per game, after the team traded him?"

"John has always been a fantastic player, and if you look at his stats, you'll see that he's one of the most efficient players in the league, and honestly, I didn't sleep all night excited when I got him at the trade deadline." Morey said with a smile.

"What's your biggest impression of making the playoffs for the fourth year in a row?" Another reporter asked.

"I'm excited, this is the fourth year in a row that we've reached the Finals, and even though we lost some players and guys last offseason, it's exciting to see the players in the squad show that they still have that quality, and I'm looking forward to making a new history."
