At this time, everyone else was still far from the frontcourt, and Paul was caught up by Rose, and he had no choice but to force it.

With two men from the free-throw line to the basket, Paul worked hard to create a bit of room for himself.

Ross fought hard to keep him from having space.

In terms of confrontation, neither of the two is much better than the other.

No time!

A meter away from the basket, after Paul and Rose confronted each other, his right foot took a big step outward, and with a little space to jump out, his right hand directly hit a super difficult high-throw board.

Ross also struggled to his feet.

The ball flew over his fingertips.

"Toot!"

The final whistle blew.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone held their breath.

After the ball crossed the highest point, it grazed the rebound with a "bang" and then fell diagonally under the basket.

"Huh!"

The ball goes into the net.

Paul's difficult lore, in!

“yes！”

Tang Tian waved his arm excitedly.

It was an absolutely brilliant goal.

even took the familiar lore action, which reminded him of the scene of the first round of the 2016 first-round tie-break against the Spurs in his previous life.

The cheers at the scene exploded directly.

Lore!

Paul is lore!

The Cavaliers won!

When Paul saw the ball go in, he rushed out of the baseline and raised his right hand into a fist.

In the next second, he was surrounded by a swarm of teammates.

"Paul! Paul! ”

A neat cheer rang out from the scene.

The Bulls reached out and cupped their heads.

They persevered until the end, and this feeling of being killed in the end was even more heartbreaking than the whole game.

Not to mention, James basically didn't play in the second half, which is equivalent to giving up a giant.

115-114, the Cavaliers won their first game in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Yao Ming shot 13-of-22 and scored 30 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.

Paul finished with 28 points, 11 assists and four steals on 11-of-19 shooting, including a final whistle shot.

Artest, Barnes, and Green also scored in double figures.

James played just 25 minutes, shooting 6-of-16 from the field, finishing with just 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 turnovers.

In the dressing room after the game, Paul seemed very excited, yelling in the shower.

When Tang Tian arrived at the locker room, he happened to hear him singing inside.

He couldn't help but smile.

It's normal for Paul to be so excited.

was 58 before, and was ridiculed for the western duel, this time to the east to the east to the east, and the first game was also a swordsman, and his life can be regarded as complete.

"Ron, let him come to the press conference when he's done washing."

Tang Tian admonished Artest, smiled and walked towards the venue of the press conference.

After today's game, there must have been a lot of excitement.

The post-game press conference was attended by Tang Tian, Casey, Yao Ming and Paul.

The reporters were still immersed in the earth-shattering stunner at the end of the game, and the questions to Paul were one after another.

"Why not call a timeout?"

"Why did you choose that way?"

"Do you worry about not going in when you shoot?"

……

Paul was in a good mood and answered the reporter's questions fluently.

"Coach, are you relieved to give Paul the last chance to attack?" After asking Paul, the reporter began to ask Tang Tian again.

"Of course, he's the No. 1 point guard in the league, and in that case, only he can do that." Tang Tian didn't hesitate to praise him, and blew it well.

Paul was a little embarrassed by what he said.

After asking Tang Tian, the topic of Paul's lore seemed to be over, and the reporter who stood up again naturally asked another sensitive topic.

"LeBron hasn't played since the third quarter, is there something wrong with him?"

"No, LeBron's body is fine."

"Is there some kind of contradiction in that?" The reporter asked.

"No, we just chose the most suitable lineup based on the situation on the court, and LeBron is fine."

"Will he play in the next game?"

"Of course." Tang Tian laughed, "He is one of the cores of this team and the symbol of the city, he is irreplaceable." ”

Tang Tian's answer was a positive response to the reporter's question.

Some of the reporters who had planned to write a close-up were suddenly a little disappointed.

Of course, this is only a part, and most reporters will still speak with "facts" to expose the situation faced by the Cavaliers.

James didn't show up at the press conference, but he listened to it outside the door when it happened.

After the press conference, Tang Tian returned to his office.

"Boom! Boom! ”

A short time after he sat down, there was a knock on the door.

"Coach, it's me."

James's voice came from outside the door.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shouted "Come in."

He had planned to talk to James later, but it would have been easier for James to come by himself.

James locked the door behind him when he entered.

"Coach, I'm here to apologize." James said as he sat down.

"It was my lack of calmness that almost caused the team to lose."

James's attitude was somewhat unexpected by Tang Tian, he remembered James in his previous life, and he was still quite arrogant.

But if you think about it, it can be explained.

In the previous life, there would be a saying among fans: Winning is not terrible, but it is embarrassing to lack anyone.

Without James, the Cavaliers would have won the Bulls and won the championship.

Then James really became a dispensable person.

It's all dispensable, and what commercial value is there to talk about.

Even because he still has a contract with the Cavaliers, he can't leave.

This apology is the most sensible choice.

Of course, this assumption is actually difficult.

The Cavaliers' power forward position is relatively weak, and when they play a strong team like the Bulls, Mavericks or Thunder, they still have to play a large or four small lineup, and if they lack James, it is difficult to always take the initiative.

This game is very telling, a Boozer, the Cavaliers are a little unbearable, and if they face Nowitzki or Durant later.

If the Cavaliers want to win the championship this year, they can't do without James.

In short, no one is missing.

"LeBron." Tang Tian looked at James.

"You know that the superstars in NBA history are not all smooth sailing, your goal is the first person in history, and there will be setbacks, take the current first person Michael Jordan as an example, he was kicked out of the varsity team in high school, he played three games in the NBA and broke his left foot in the second year, he didn't cross the Pistons in his career for seven years, and there are many other big and small setbacks......"

Tang Tian said and looked at James.

"You know the saying? For those who want to reach the top, setbacks are wealth, and the more setbacks there are, the more they grow, and the more likely they are to reach the peak that everyone expects. ”
