Chapter 703: Cleveland's Fourth Crown (1/4!) )
Tang Tian's interview caused a heated discussion among fans.
"As a fan of Irving, I feel offended that Kyrie is one of the best point guards and he deserves enough respect."
"Come on, man, Owen is excellent, but not on the same level as LeBron, although Tang Tian's words are not very good, he is telling the truth."
"It's just that Irving has never proven his ability to lead a team, whether it's with the Clippers or with the Cavaliers, he's a support player."
"While I also recognize Irving's quality, his role with the Cavaliers is really characterized, and he is a single striker who takes the pressure off LeBron."
……
Most of the fans supported the views that Tang Tian said, and the voices of the few Owen fans were basically drowned out.
The fan buzz also led to some media coverage, and even during the pre-game interview, the FOX Sports reporter asked Irving similar questions.
"Is this LeBron's team?"
Owen was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, and finally smiled and said, "We are a team. ”
He smiled as he spoke, but there was still a hint of unpleasantness between his eyebrows.
Thirty-six strategies, attacking the heart first.
Tang Tian's words during the interview still had some impact on the Cavaliers.
After a two-day break, the first match between the two teams officially kicked off at the Quickloan Arena.
The Nets were fully engaged at the beginning, but they didn't have much to do with James, whether it was Butler or Yi Jianlian, they were absolutely at a disadvantage in the position, and Blatter's scheduling was also excellent.
The current James is at the peak, and he is one notch stronger than the same period in his previous life, and he is really unstoppable.
103-91, the Cavaliers defeated the Nets in the first game and made a good start to the series.
James had 35 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Love had 22 points, and Irving had 17 points and 6 assists.
The result of such a game made Cleveland fans excited.
After the game, Tang Tian summarized some details of the game and made some adjustments to the tactics.
The second match between the two sides continued at the Quickloan Arena.
The Nets wrapped up James, and Irving got a lot of scoring opportunities.
However, the Nets have made significant progress in the details compared to Game 1, and the margin between the two sides has been fluctuating in the single digits.
But James's strength is too buggy, and after being cultivated by Tang Tian, he is almost incomprehensible, and his several strong hits at critical moments are unstoppable.
In the end, the Cavaliers won the game 96-92 and took a 2-0 lead.
James had a triple-double of 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, Irving scored a team-high 30 points, and Love and Smith each scored 16 points.
After two games, the result was the same as most fans expected, the Nets did well enough, but still couldn't win the game.
The 2-0 score also illustrates the difference in overall strength between the two teams.
At the same time in the West, the first game between the Thunder and the Warriors has also been played.
Although Curry returned from injury, his state has declined a lot compared to before the injury, and without the magical Curry, the Warriors' offensive firepower has been greatly reduced.
108-102, the Thunder also won the first game of the series.
"Cleveland can celebrate their fourth championship."
After those three games, Barkley's big mouth mode was turned on again.
But this time, as much as they believe in the uncharacteristically abnormal ESPN, they also believe what Barkley says.
The Cavaliers look unstoppable, and the Warriors, who injured Curry, and the Thunder, who have only two less, are no match for them, and perhaps the discussion now is not whether Cleveland can usher in a fourth championship, but whether the Cavaliers will sweep to win the championship.
After the two games, the two sides will move to Brooklyn for the next two games, before which they have a three-day break.
After falling behind 0-2, the Nets still took some damage to morale.
However, Tang Tian did not change his tactics and rotation.
In his previous life, Casey led the Raptors and the Cavaliers to play games, constantly adjusting the lineup, but he was confused first.
Although the Nets are behind by a large score, they have a chance to play key shots with the Cavaliers after the details of the last game are done.
Back at home, the younger players will play better, and the Nets and Cavaliers will even win more than five or five opens.
In the training session, Tang Tian intermittently poured chicken soup on the players, reawakening the team's fighting spirit little by little.
In the meantime, the second game between the Thunder and the Warriors also ended.
The Warriors adjusted their thinking to start with defense, they limited the Thunder's scoring to 91 points, and used defense to lead the offense, beating the opponent 118-91 and tying the series at 1-1.
This game also became the material for Tang Tian's chicken soup.
'We lost only two games that didn't matter, now it's our chance to defend our home side and turn things around, with more input, more intensity defending, and we'll equalise.'
The Nets' morale was slowly recovering, and the Warriors' timely rain brought their confidence back to its best.
The Eastern Conference finals series is on the horizon, and fans are refocusing on Brooklyn.
Fans in New York cheered on the Nets on social media, and the warm-up for the Brooklyn street game was at a peak.
On the last day of training before the game, after Tang Tian led the team to finish training, he was interviewed by media reporters as usual.
"Is the team ready? Will we see a win tonight? The reporter asked.
"Yes, of course." Tang Tian was very confident this time.
Tang Tian's self-confidence surprised the reporter, you must know that before the game, Tang Tian will behave relatively low-key, and he will not milk himself.
"Has the team found a new way to win?" The reporter couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't we find it in the last game?" Tang Tian asked rhetorically.
The reporter looked puzzled.
"Our success in the last game limited LeBron's play." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
"But Irving scored 30 points." The reporter reminded that limiting James' scoring does not mean limiting James.
'It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter Irving or anyone else, LeBron is the key and you saw the result of the last game, we almost won the game. Tang Tian continued.
The reporter was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly couldn't find a rebuttal.
In the last game, the Nets did win more than the first game, and although Irving scored more, the effect was obviously much worse than James'.
The third game of the series is about to start, and these words said by Tang Tian in an interview once again ushered in heated discussions among fans.
They felt that Tang Tian was biased against Irving, and it seemed that in his eyes, only James was the only problem the Nets had to face.
