"By the way, Shaq, Kobe Bryant wins the championship again this year, and he will have more championships than you two. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Kenny Smith is starting to stir things up again, and that's the only place in his job that still makes him feel like he's still following his heart.

"Hmph, Kobe Bryant is a guard, can he compare to me? The only ones I compare to are those insiders, like Charles, who doesn't have a championship. ”

"Shaq! No, I'm going to duel you! ”

……

……

At 8 p.m. Los Angeles time on June 9, the first game of the Lakers and Cavaliers Finals kicked off at the Staples Center.

When Kobe Bryant and James came to the technical table to touch the magnesium powder, the scene resounded with loud cheers.

Before the game officially started, Adam Silva, who came to watch the game, received the ratings from his secretary, which had already broken the NBA all-time Finals ratings record!

The number of viewers brought by the reunion of Kobe Bryant and James in the finals is unprecedented!

Adam Silva has seen the signing of David Stern in the summer with major broadcasters and online media outlets for a huge amount of money that he never received.

After a series of events before the finals, the referee blew the whistle and the two starters entered the court to prepare for the jump.

The Lakers' starting lineup has changed a little, Gasol has been repeatedly abused and sad from jumping balls, and took the initiative to give up the starting position, allowing Whiteside to appear as a starting center on this most high-profile stage!

When Gasol accepted a contract that was far lower than him, but the length of time was a 5-year long contract that other teams could not give, he understood that his position as the main center was only temporary, and the main thing was to teach his experience to Green, and teach Whiteside skills to help the two become the strongest interior partners in the league, plus him to reproduce the interior combination that dominated the NBA back then.

Gasol's personality is too suitable to be a second-in-command, no wonder Popovich is so covetous of him.

The other four Lakers did not change, with Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, and Green starting together.

This lineup is completely the strongest lineup of the Lakers, even if you compare the Trail Blazers' lineup known as the league's No. 1 starter, it is not inferior!

This lineup is rarely sent out by the Lakers at the same time, in addition to the need for Whiteside's strong basketball dominance to lead the second team, and D'Antoni tries to balance everyone's playing time in the regular season and make physical reserves.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup changed dramatically, with Dellavidova, Sefrosa, James, Tristan Thompson, and Mozgov on the court.

This lineup, in terms of defense, is really the strongest defensive lineup of the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers are not one of the best teams defensively, and no one expects them to stop the Lakers' league-leading offense.

James gave a morale-boosting speech to his teammates before the game, but it successfully got his teammates motivated, although it is difficult to say how long it will last, but at the beginning of the first game, they all have fighting spirit.

Admit defeat before the game even starts? Then it's not called an NBA player!

Whiteside and Mozgov jump ball in the middle circle.

Mozgov stepped onto the stage of the Finals for the first time, and with James' encouragement, he wanted to prove himself. But the difference in strength is not something that can be done just by thinking about it, if the opponent is Bogut, Mozgov can play equally, and the jump ball is also between the two, but the opponent is Whiteside......

Whiteside easily won the jump ball from Mozgov's head.

Immediately after the Lakers' first attack, Green blocked Liu Ren without the ball in the middle distance, used Liu Ren's reverse run to attract Tristan Thompson's defense, and then unexpectedly passed the ball to Whiteside, who faced Mozgov one-on-one inside and dunked the ball directly through Mozgov into the basket.

Looking at Whiteside's expression as if he had dunked an empty basket, Mozgov's fighting spirit accumulated in the past two days was instantly crippled.

If it's Gasol, Mozgov can barely just make a wave, although Gasol is in good shape this year, but the defense is the object of being eaten by the opponent's center at other times except for the small man who breaks in to help defend him, and the offensive end is also biased towards shooting, which doesn't look so destructive, and this Whiteside is simply a fowl in Mozgov's eyes!

The media's public opinion, the reimbursement of the two stars of their own team, and finally made up their minds to fight to the deathMozgov was defeated by Whiteside at the beginning, and this ring after ring did not go well, so that most of the players of the Cavaliers who stepped on such a big stage as the finals for the first time lost confidence.

Mozgov sent the ball to Delavidova in a daze, and the Cavaliers attacked, and Delavidova advanced to the front court and handed the ball to James.

To the surprise of the fans, and also to the expectations of the TV commentary, it was not Liu Ren who came to the top arc to defend James, but Kobe!

However, this unexpected image was a surprise for the fans!

23vs24！

It's not that each leads the team and the opponent just team attack, but the two go head-to-head!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......! What do I see? Is it Kobe Bryant defending James? No way? My old man, you better stop making trouble, let the boss guard against it! Let's win the championship sooner! Don't delay our boss to win the first championship! O'Neill complained frantically.

"I also think, is Kobe Bryant a brain show? He doesn't know how bad his defense has been in the past two years? Barkley was also speechless.

"You two are wrong, you see, Liu has retreated to the edge of the three-second zone, as long as James breaks through, he can help defend as soon as possible," Kenny Smith is really the only one who takes a good look at the ball analysis, "The Lakers' defense is not much of a problem, the point guard of the Cavaliers is Dellavidova, Liu doesn't have to defend him at all, his mid-to-long range shooting rate of more than 20 percent Liu can't wait for him to shoot, and Kobe's defensive statistics are not as bad as you think, and his scores against the players are below his average level......"

Kenny Smith was the only one of the T.N.T Big Three to do his homework before the game......

Just like Kenny Smith's analysis, the defense arranged by Bickerstaff is the original defense of the Spurs against the Heat, but it is more excessive than the Spurs' defense, when James was in the Heat, the point guard was still Chalmers, so Leonard was used to defend James, leaving someone to keep an eye on Chalmers's vacant shot, but now he directly put Liu Ren on the waist, and used Kobe, who is still very good at chasing and defending, to prevent James from shooting, if James breaks through Kobe, he will be wrapped with Liu Ren, as for Dellavidova... … Who cares?

James controlled the ball, saw Kobe Bryant in front of him, and Liu Ren who was eyeing the edge of the three-second zone, Green who was ready to help defend at any time on the other side of the three-second zone, and Whiteside, who guarded the basket and covered Mozgov and Tristan Thompson, two offensive weak chickens, in his heart except for a bitter smile.

But the opponent in front of him is the point, James put aside all his worries and said to Kobe: "Kobe, I'm really excited to play against you. ”

"It's great, isn't it? But then your excitement turns to despair. Kobe was unceremoniously sprayed.

James shook his head: "No, my excitement is excitement, I'm desperate right now." ”

The moment James finished speaking, he directly accelerated the strong burst, Kobe Bryant was not disturbed and clinged to it, but was resisted by James's brute force, and James went straight into the inside!

Liu Ren and Green immediately wrapped up, Kobe Bryant followed closely from behind, and the three surrounded James!

James glanced at Dellavidova from beyond the three-point line.

Pass?

No!

He has always been known for his selflessness, and even so selfless that he is criticized for his decision to be willful today!

In the past, James had never been willful and selfish when he played on the court, but now, the opponent is Kobe, and the team is in such a situation, James is going to be willful! This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

James entered the three-person package of Kobe, Liu Ren, and Green, and was blocked by Kobe Bryant behind his back, and James couldn't quit if he wanted to, so he resisted Green and forced a jump shot against Liu Ren's block!

Hit!

Playing the Eastern showdown with the Hawks has forced James to the end, but because of this, although he has not been physically rested, he is indeed in the best condition!

Liu Ren watched James' steady strong shot, and glanced at Kobe Bryant with resentment, if he was the main defense of James on the outside at this time, James would not be so easy to break through, Kobe and Green's assistance defense would be more in place, and it would not give James so much room to rush in and score directly with a jumper.

Bickerstaff also arranged it that way before the game, but Kobe Bryant took the initiative to defend James, and Bickerstaff felt that everyone was the same, so he agreed to Kobe's request.

However, Liu Ren is still willing to let Kobe Bryant go head-to-head with James, and he also wants to see this epic duel that has never appeared in his time and space.

And Liu Ren knows that at least in the current year, the biggest stage of the Lakers still belongs to Kobe.

Offense and defense switched, the Lakers attacked, Clarkson advanced to the frontcourt, at this time the ball should be handed over to Liu Ren or Green, but Kobe took the initiative to come to the top arc to ask for the ball, Clarkson thought it was better to give the boss, and the current boss is still Kobe.

Kobe Bryant held the ball alone, and James also took the initiative to switch defenses with Sefrosa this time and faced Kobe Bryant one-on-one.

The sound of the scene sounded again, and fans didn't care if the Cavaliers were opponents or if James was the guy they had always regarded as enemies.

The matchup between the two strongest players in the NBA in the new century, even if it is an opponent, they all start cheering for both sides!

Kobe Bryant from the first game of the regular season to the end of the Western Conference finals, D'Antoni has strictly protected his physical fitness, and now that it is the finals, Kobe Bryant finally got D'Antoni's permission to burn the remaining oil in his tank unscrupulously!

It is quite difficult for Kobe Bryant to break through James now!

Green was ready to come over to block the pick-and-roll, but was rejected by Kobe!

Bryant did the same thing he did when he faced Jordan in the 1998 All-Star Game.

"Drummond, get out of the way, I'm going to go head-to-head with LeBron!"

The scene was too noisy for anyone to hear, but the NBA's radio equipment was excellent, and the fans in front of the TV and in front of the computer clearly heard Kobe's words!

In an instant, it seemed to go back to 18 years ago, and the picture before the new and old kings of the alliance met for the first time on the big stage reappeared.

Green also thought of the words he heard when he was a little kid under ten years old when he watched the All-Star Game, and he was instantly embarrassed, he had already expected that he would be repeatedly talked about by countless fans because of this incident in the future, and instantly burst into tears in his heart, and was disgusted by the boss!

"I'm honoured, but when I'm attacking, I'm even more honoured if you don't let your teammates come to help." James continued to spew trash talk.

'You can also ask your team-mates to help defend, I don't mind, of course, I might pass the ball.' Bryant said as he looked for gaps in James' defense.

Of course, James is not really stupid enough to let his teammates help defend, you must know that he is the strongest defensive point of the Cavaliers, he has to help defend, this game is completely useless, there is no room for struggle.

In terms of heads-up, Jordan, the first person in NBA history, said that the only outside player who has the potential to beat him is Kobe.

Kobe Bryant's heads-up ability is one of the best in NBA history, and even if James regained a defense that was enough to compete for the best defensive player in the playoffs, Kobe Bryant still found a defensive gap.

Kobe Bryant dribbled under his hip continuously, and his whole body was full of feints, and he successfully shook off James' defense, and cut one step into the three-point line to shoot a long-distance two-point shot!

Same hit!

Once again, the fans erupted in cheers.

The Cavaliers attacked, James was still ready to come by himself, and the fans cheered for James.

Bryant clung to James and didn't give James a chance to shoot from the outside.

Although James has been criticized for his poor shooting, no opponent dares to despise his three-point shooting, looking at James's three-point shooting rate is actually not bad, but he is easy to hesitate, so the three-point shooting is relatively small.

James continued to choose to break through, I have to say that he is no worse than any scorer who only thinks about scoring, this time the Lakers are more timely and decisive, and did not give him a chance to aim at the basket, but he still caused Green to foul and go to the free throw line.

James, like Liu Ren, has always been a difficult problem, and he has been gaining weight, making it as difficult for him to adapt to free throws as Liu Ren, and the shooting impact in the sport is not much, but it is difficult to practice free throws too accurately, but his shooting rate is slightly better than Liu Ren, but it is only 70 percent.

James made 1 of 2 free throws.

At 3-4, the Cavaliers trailed by one point after their own round.

It's Kobe Bryant's offense again, as an offensive kaleidoscope, of course Kobe Bryant won't make the same shot twice in a row, this time he came to a simple, direct and rough shot, and directly pulled out three points!

"Huh"

James didn't have time to pounce, and watched the hot Kobe Bryant shoot the ball into the basket.

"LeBron, are you okay?" Bryant laughed.

James felt it during the East Finals, without Owen and Love, the others were useless! The role players of the four-year-old three-champion team are really cheating!

Looking at Kobe's provocative smile, James completely decided to go it alone to the end!
