Chapter 314: The Knight Is Strong, But ...... (4th Update)
"Kyrie's absence has affected us too much, he's the star of our guard line, and without him, we're extremely weak in our ability to contain the Lakers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info opponents just need to defend our interior and disrupt the chemistry and connection between us and then be able to get there.
In this game, I didn't play very well and didn't help the team more. Seriously, I really wanted to beat them, but we were underdog from the start, and unfortunately I couldn't find a way to solve the game, and I took a lot of responsibility for the loss, but Kyrie's absence really affected us as a team. ”
At 120:107, the Lakers walked away with a win at the Quick Loan Center. For LeBron James, he couldn't be happier. In front of the media, he seemed unable to let go, and kept talking about the game and the importance of Kyrie Irving.
In fact, what James wants to express is very clear, that is, the strength of the Cavaliers is not weaker than that of the Lakers, but because the Cavaliers lack Irving, an All-Star point guard, the team's offensive and defensive conversion has been greatly affected. So, he can't accept the result of losing to the Lakers at home.
"So, you think you can beat the Lakers when Kyrie Irving is on the floor?"
Under the reporter's question, the spotlight of the world is on James.
James smiled like a gentleman, his PR skills are really strong, and throughout the league, there is really no one who can beat it.
"Of course, there's no doubt that if Carey is healthy, we can beat them. I'm desperate for time to pass and I want to go to Staples for the second time of the season against them. James spoke eloquently.
According to NBA rules and schedules, teams in the East and West meet twice a season, one home and one away. Today is the home court of the Cavaliers, so the next meeting will be the home court of the Lakers.
For James, it was obviously a long time before he wanted revenge. Because the next meeting between the two teams is on March 22, there are still two months to go.
"LeBron, can you talk about your first season with the Big Three? A lot of people think there's something wrong with your chemistry, do you think that's a potential factor in your ability to win the championship? Although they lost to the Lakers, the Cavaliers are still the favorites in the eyes of the media, after all, the Cavaliers have the best Big Three in the league.
"We sacrifice each other and adapt to each other, which makes us more and more like a whole. I don't really agree with the argument that we have a problem with our chemistry. You know, this is only the first season we've worked together, and the record of No. 1 in the East is the best illustration of that. Besides, Kevin and Kyrie and I are still playing at an All-Star level, which is enough to say it all......"
James' claims are irrefutable, because it is true that the Cavaliers Big Three have all had a very good season as he says.
James: 23.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists while shooting 55.1% from the field.
Irving: 20.9 points, 7.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 46.5% shooting.
Love: 21.3 points and 11.4 rebounds while shooting 50.2 percent from the field.
It's absolutely scary for a team to have three players who perform like that at the same time. It could even be argued that it will be difficult for other teams to beat such a team.
Judging by the numbers, the first season of the Big Three combined has been really good. For the outside world, of course, it is inevitable to compare the current Cavaliers with the first season James joined the Heat.
The 2010~2011 season was the first year that James, Wade and Bosh teamed up.
By the time of January 20, 11, that is, in the same period of this year, the individual performance of the Heat Big Three at that time was also very good.
James: 25.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 7.2 assists while shooting 50.6% from the field.
Wade: 25.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, shooting 50.3%.
Bosh: 19.2 points and 9.0 rebounds, shooting 50.1% from the field.
It can be said that the performance of the Big Three at that time was not weaker than that of the Cavaliers at all. However, as we all know, the Heat triumvirate went through a very long run-in at that time, and the final results could not meet expectations.
On the other hand, in the same period, the Heat are 30-13, while the Cavaliers are 33-7, which is far better than the Heat.
Obviously, all this can also reflect that the tacit understanding between the Cavaliers' Big Three may really be as James said.
"The numbers don't lie. LeBron, do you think the Cavaliers Big Three are better than the Heat Big Three? The reporter threw out a very tricky question.
Suddenly, the eyes of the world converged here, and everyone was very interested in James's answer.
James smiled very flatly: "It's all very good, I've had a great journey with Dwayne and Chris, they're great teammates. And the same goes for Kyrie and Kevin, who are both stars. However, compared to the Heat's experience, I think we still need to prove ourselves with results. ”
"Championship?"
James laughed: "Yes, only a championship can prove that our combination is successful. ”
"But you know how hard it is to win a championship, at least you need to get a team like the Lakers."
James said lightly: "Of course, I will take care of them." I hope this year's Finals opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers, and last year's defeat is something I will never forget. ”
Wow.
The world was suddenly boiling, and in January, James actually shouted the slogan of winning the championship, which is really confident.
"Finals! Okay, LeBron, is that your Finals manifesto? ”
James smiled slightly: "Yes, I regard it as my biggest goal." ”
……
As the losing side, the Cavaliers' press conference rhetoric really sparked a lot of discussion.
And when the media threw this topic to the Lakers, Kobe Bryant's reaction was very calm, as if he didn't care what James said.
"He's thinking about winning the title right now? Well, that's really cool. ”
"Actually, for me, I'm looking forward to playing in March and I'm hoping to play Kyrie Irving. They're a really good combination, the Cavaliers are very strong, but I don't care if they win the championship. ”
……
For Chu Xuan, he was more amused by James's reaction. This came as a bit of a surprise to him, as James always seemed to be able to maintain a very mature image to the outside world. However, it seems that the Lakers have always been able to make him lose his cool since last season......
When asked about James' remark that "if Irving is here, the Cavaliers will definitely be able to beat the Lakers".
Chu Xuan suddenly laughed: "Cleveland is really the best team in the league, they are very strong, they are the team with the best chance of winning the championship in everyone's eyes, and their lineup configuration is enviable." ”
Chu Xuan's praise was confusing, but he suddenly changed his words: "However, we are lucky that we can beat such a great team." Oh yes, we seem to have four really good players out today. (To be continued.) )
