The Staples Center was brightly lit and fans bustling into the arena. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Today is the 28th, and the first game of the finals will be held at 8 pm.

As night approaches, the neon lights have risen and the charm of the night floats in the air.

At the end of May, the night in Los Angeles is still a little cool, which is a pleasant environment, and during this time of relaxation, it is undoubtedly the most pleasant to be able to watch a ball game.

The game was very hot before the game, everyone was talking about Kobe, James, the two teams, and the wins and losses of the game. It's all about the game, and that's the beauty of the finals.

At this time, the locker room in the stadium was crowded with media, and reporters were conducting pre-game interviews with the players and coaches of both sides, and as the head coach, Chu Xuan was naturally the target of reporters.

"Coach Chu Xuan, do you have any good ways to defend LeBron James? In the playoffs, Janis defended Kevin Durant very effectively, so in this series, is he still a key player to defend James? ”

Hearing this, Chu Xuan smiled and nodded: "Of course, Yang Nis's defensive spearhead on our front line, and it is his job to defend LeBron." LeBron is one of the best players in the world, and if I don't have a good idea, I don't know if you believe it? ”

The reporters couldn't help but laugh, they obviously didn't believe what Chu Xuan said. Because this guy is the biggest liar in this league.

"LeBron said he had no way out, and that this was his only chance. Obviously, he is determined to win the Finals, so what do you think they have against the Lakers? Or how sure do you think the Lakers will be able to beat the Cavaliers? ”

The Lakers must have a certain advantage over the Cavaliers, which is recognized by the whole world. It's just that on an occasion like this, Chu Xuan's answer seems to be able to attract great attention.

"I thought about it to the point where everybody had the belief that they were going to win. I can understand LeBron, he's been under pressure that no one else can handle. In competitive competition, after all, there will always be winners and losers, and I think the outside world should treat LeBron less harshly, so that when we look at LeBron, some things may not be so unacceptable. ”

Chu Xuan's words were very level, he didn't mention which of the Lakers and the Cavaliers was stronger or weaker, but if you savor it carefully, it is not difficult to find that Chu Xuan's words reveal a message, that is, even if James loses, it is not unacceptable. After all, no one is perfect, and the outside world shouldn't always be so demanding of James.

Obviously, Chu Xuan's meaning has been expressed, that is, the Lakers can beat the Cavaliers, and if James really suffers a defeat for the third time, I hope everyone will not put too much pressure on him, and look at this matter with a calm mind.

"Coach Chu Xuan, Kobe Bryant won the MVP of the regular season, but many people think that this is because he has a group of good teammates, if this is abandoned, it will be difficult for him to get this year's MVP. Do you think this is a slander against Kobe Bryant? ”

When Chu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "That's right, I don't think what they said is wrong." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, obviously because Chu Xuan's inexplicable words felt incomprehensible, and they actually thought that the outside world's criticism of Kobe Bryant's remarks was right?

However, Chu Xuan disagreed, and continued: "Kobe Bryant was able to win the award, indeed because he had a group of good teammates, and there was nothing wrong with it. Is there any player in the league who has won the MVP without a good bunch of teammates? Therefore, I think Kobe Bryant deserves to win the MVP, his teammates just stimulate his excellence to a greater extent, and now, Kobe Bryant's average playoff performance is 20+7+7, can it still be said that he is not worthy of the regular season MVP? He led the Lakers to 12 wins, and that speaks for itself. ”

"Okay, Chu, maybe you're right."

"Coach Chu Xuan, Coach Tyronn Lu has already challenged you, he said that he wants to beat you in the finals, and letting the Cavaliers win the championship is the meaning of his existence."

When Chu Xuan heard this, he just shook his head and smiled: "I think I can only say sorry!" ”

********

Time passed quickly, and in the midst of a boom, the players came on the stage.

The Lakers fielded starters Kobe, LaVine, Antetokounmpo, Noll and Towns, while the Cavaliers saw Irving, Shambaugh, James, Love and Thompson.

In the playoffs, because of the demands of the defensive end, Tyronn Lue put Ray Allen on the bench and Shambaught to the starting No. 2 position. It worked well, at least with the use of Shambaugh to allow the Cavaliers to play better defensively, and Ray Allen to greatly increase the firepower of the bench.

Jumping ball, Noll, who is 218cm tall in shoes, easily defeated Thompson.

The Lakers attacked, and Bryant took on the first offensive responsibility, hitting a trademark pull-up shot against Shambaugh's defense to help the Lakers score for the first time in the Finals this year. Then, the Cavaliers attacked, and James, as the leader, tried to make a three-pointer from the outside, also hitting a three-pointer.

For the first time, James didn't rely on his breakaway, but tried to shoot at the beginning of the game, which was a good thing to do. At least he can take this opportunity to find the shooting touch first, so as to contain the defense. In the first five rounds of the Cavaliers, James scored three goals himself, and then assisted two goals for his teammates to score. With such a sweeping performance, the Cavaliers opened the game with an 11:3 attack wave.

There were some problems with the Lakers' defense, and Tyronn Lue's offensive tactics were something Chu Xuan didn't expect, which made Chu Xuan can't help but think highly of Tyronn Lue. Soon after a change was made, the two sides continued to fight. The Cavaliers didn't change their tactics, with James still in control and Irving playing more of a scorer's role. As for the Lakers, it was Bryant who began to increase his offensive role instead of always organizing his teammates to score.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't feel particularly good today, and Shambaugh's stalking success caused some trouble for Kobe. Bryant took the first four shots, except for the first shot, and the next three balls were all missed. But fortunately, LaVine stepped up and relied on two three-point goals like cold arrows to help the team not be stretched by the Cavaliers when the team's offense was limited.

For the Cavaliers, Love and Thompson were played on the offensive end, and James' delicate passing activated them.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers, who played well overall, temporarily led 28-22, and James contributed 7 points and 5 assists in the first quarter. (To be continued.) )
