Chapter 173: Finals Battle Knight (1)

Dim lights and loud music kicked off the crucial battle with a cabaret performance after the players from both sides entered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the front row of the audience, NBA commissioner Adam Shaw, Bill Russell, who is full of gray hair and is in charge of presenting awards, and a number of celebrities such as the Spurs have all arrived at the scene.

The Spurs have a chance to win Game 6 and become the 2017 NBA champion, so there are already a lot of people waiting for the awards.

On the Cavaliers' side, LeBron threw magnesium powder in front of the technical table, and the white sky drew bursts of cheers.

The knights gathered around, chanting slogans and cheering each other on, vowing to win the 6th battle and drag the game into a tiebreaker.

On the Spurs' side, everyone also gathered around and shouted "GO!" SPURS! GO!", boost morale and strive to win the championship today!

In the pre-game warm-up, everyone in the Spurs felt very good and was in full condition.

On the Cavaliers' side, LeBron threw a few balls, felt good, tried a few more balls and asked the assistant to help with a leg massage, today's game is very important, you must adjust your body to the best condition.

Kobe Bryant, who has been retired for a year, also came, and He Dong also received a text message from Kobe Bryant before the game, which contained only a short line, "Don't set limits for yourself." ”

He Dong successfully got a text message from Kobe, one of the mysterious buffs in the league.

After the warm-up, players from both sides began to position themselves in the center circle.

The Spurs' starting lineup is still the regular lineup, Parker, Ho Dong, Leonard, Ibaka, Ade.

The Cavaliers' starters were Irving, Korver, LeBron, Love, Tristan Thompson.

The referee came to the middle circle and started to jump the ball, announcing the official start of the game!

"Beep!"

Thompson won the jump ball duel with Ade, giving the Cavaliers the first wave of offensive possession.

Irving controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Spurs' defensive strategy was to let He Dong defend against Irving and Parker to defend Korver, which was a strategy tested in the first 5 games, and the effect was good.

Owen vs. He Dong, after the first few games, the former was also a little depressed, and the latter was not easy for him to deal with.

If Parker comes to defend, he can use his gorgeous passing on the offensive end to blow Parker from beginning to end, but now the person who defends him is He Dong, and his defensive ability is not weak, which makes him feel a headache.

Irving decisively called for a pick-and-roll cover, and Thompson pulled it out to block and pick it up on the spot.

With the help of cover, Owen got rid of the defense, changed direction in front of the body and passed Ibaka, who came to make up for the defense, entered the penalty area, and forced a shot against Ade's body.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blows, Ade defends a foul, and Irving goes to the free throw line.

At home, Irving enjoyed cheering at the free-throw line and made two free throws with ease.

Start 0-2.

Spurs offense, this time Parker handed the ball to He Dong, in the previous finals He Dong has become the Spurs' number one offensive point, Popovich specifically said in the locker room, let go of the shot.

In other words, He Dong already has unlimited firing rights.

But it's on the Spurs, and even if Popovich has said that, you can't attack too casually.

He Dong faced Korver and sped it away in just one step. Not to mention that Korver is old now, even when he was young, it was easy for He Dong to pass him.

Korver is the kind of typical outside shooter who has good firepower on offense, but is very average defensively, and many of them are not up to the right level.

He Dong made a strong breakthrough, and at this time, Loew rushed over to make up for the defense, and he immediately passed the ball to Ibaka, who was standing inside.

The latter received the ball and immediately hit the board and shot.

Ibaka didn't seem to have a good start, and his first shot ended with an iron.

Thompson grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to LeBron.

LeBron controls the ball and moves to the front court to organize the offense, and when he becomes a playmaker, other teammates have to move flexibly.

In the face of Leonard, LeBron chose to force a single, leaning on the former's body to advance, and with a glance, Irving used his teammates to cover and run out of the open space.

LeBron immediately passed the ball, Irving received the ball and shot, and the three-pointer went up and down, adding another three points to the Cavaliers.

The opening score was 0-5, and the audience cheered enthusiastically, and the Cavaliers had a good start.

Irving was on fire, scoring five straight points in the opening game, which also attracted the praise of Reggie Miller as a live commentator: "Friends, I'm here to make a bold prediction, after Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook, Irving will definitely become the league's No. 1 point guard. Although his playmaking skills are still lacking as a point guard, his offensive ability as an offensive point guard in the new era is incomparable. ”

Many of the audience echoed and agreed with Reggie Miller's point of view.

On the court, on the Spurs' side of the offense, He Dong has already got the opportunity to single Korver with his back through running, and his body exerts force, crushing the latter like a bulldozer, and advancing to a 2-step position outside the penalty area.

LeBron, who was closest to him, didn't dare to step forward to help defend at this time, because He Dong had a good vision of passing, as long as he went to help defend, then He Dong would pass the ball to Leonard, who was missed by him, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Easily advancing to the right position, He Dong immediately turned around and threw a back-to-back jumper with a picturesque shot.

The basketball arcs perfectly in the air and then hollows into the net.

"Good shot!" The audience was silent because they supported the Knights, but Barkley shouted loudly.

"Haha, let me think about it, if I'm not mistaken, Michael Jordan never played Game 7 in the Finals, and today, Jordan is on the Spurs' side." Barkley's series of compliments immediately drew voices from behind the commentary stage.

"This fat guy is blowing again!"

"Doesn't this fat man know that this is the Knights' Arena? To praise the Spurs to go to the Spurs' arena. ”

"How does that sound like the Knight is going to win today?"

"Leave him alone, let him keep blowing, and the knight will win by blowing and blowing."

The fans of the Cavaliers behind him were full of discussions, both dissatisfied and happy, after all, Barkley's poisoned milk is famous.

On the field, with He Dong's goal, the score came to 2-5, and the Spurs were still 3 points behind.

The Cavaliers' subsequent offense handed over to Owen again, but this time, Owen couldn't get rid of He Dong's defense, and used the retreat step to stagger his position to shoot, but he had already finished the game.

Ade grabs the rebound and hands it to Parker.

He Dong had another chance to play Korver one-on-one, this time still unassisted, and He Dong once again easily advanced to the familiar shooting distance, and turned back for the second time to shoot.

The basketball hollowed into the net, and He Dong scored 4 points in a row to chase the score to 4-5.
