Chapter 903: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain!
If the Lakers can win this game and get the match point smoothly, the next game will return to the home court, Xie Chen has a great chance of winning in a row, directly winning the championship, and drawing a successful end to his season, but the energy of these two Cavaliers in a desperate situation is really not to be underestimated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
In the last game, the Lakers and the Cavaliers were in a stalemate to the end, but this time, the Cavaliers suddenly rained three-pointers, which made the Lakers unable to guard against it, and the score was quickly expanded, and it seemed that it was difficult for the Lakers to leave the suspense of the game until the end.
"After the start of the second half, the Cavaliers have already shot six three-pointers in this quarter, these outside shooters are really accurate and terrible today, and the Lakers' defense also has some problems, if it goes on like this, the Lakers will be knocked down, once the series score is tied by the Cavaliers, I'm afraid it will not be so easy for Xie to win this championship." Wei Shao became serious, and he knew that the Cavaliers intended to shoot more three-pointers in the second half to create opportunities for outside players, and the Lakers could not compete with the Cavaliers who were currently in hot form in three-point shooting.
Carl Towns also said: "The Cavaliers' three-point shot is also very scary, when Kevin Love is singled with his back, the Lakers players have to wrap him, when LeBron and Kyrie Irving start to break through to the basket to attack, the Lakers also have to block their routes, which allows the outside players to get good shooting opportunities, once these guys hit the ball, then force the Lakers to pay more attention to these shooters and defend, but this often leads to the loss of one or the other, as long as the Cavaliers pass the ball faster, you will always miss one, This is also the reason why the Lakers have been beaten badly during this time. Xie's three-point is focused on by the Cavaliers, and now only the three-pointers of other players can save the Lakers. β
After a while, he fell behind by more than a dozen points, which made Xie Chen feel a lot of pressure, when it came to the three-point team, the first thing that came to everyone's mind might be the Warriors, because Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and a group of benches who can shoot three-pointers, they are all too strong, but in fact, the Cavaliers' three-point shooters are not inferior to the Warriors, although they do not have three-point shooters like the Warriors, but they are "the most accurate one among the teams with the most three-point shots".
The Lakers played against the Warriors, and they had never encountered the Warriors shoot so many threes in one quarter, but the Cavaliers did so, and they shot accurately.
In the Cavaliers' offense again, LeBron James broke through the inside line from the left side, the person had come to the basket, and flew in the air, he at this time, he could also hit the basket and distribute it to his teammates under the basket, and the latter scored is estimated to be no hindrance, but James played a look back at the moon, and actually distributed the ball to Irving in the bottom left corner, Irving got up and down, and then hit a three-point shot for the Cavaliers!
"Seven shots in this section." Xie Chen faintly felt that something was wrong, and the scene was already crazy because of the Cavaliers' three-point rain, "This ball LeBron can obviously score under the basket, but he still has to divide it to the outside, they have premeditated it, and they just want to use the crazy three-point to cut off my hope of reversal." β
LeBron James is a very good passer, and at the same time he is also a very dangerous attacker, with both identities, making it easier for the Cavaliers to score on the outside, at this point, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and Dream Green can't compare with James, besides, James can also shoot three-pointers, but sometimes it is unstable, but the shot is smooth, just like Durant's shot, you don't want to defend it at all.
After the Cavaliers played such a phenomenal performance, only Xie Chen was the only one who could catch up with the point difference, and the Cavaliers rigidly limited his three-point shot at this time, betting that his teammates would not miss, which was actually very risky, you must know that in the first game of the finals, Nick Young and Jefferson played more against the sky than today's Cavaliers, but the interesting part of the series is here, you can't guarantee that you can win this series.
Sure enough, after being gambled by Tyronn Lue, Xie Chen's teammates failed to put on a good show today, and their shots were out of the frame one by one, which caused Xie Chen to have no chance to shoot on his own.
In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Lakers again at home, turning the overall score of the series into 2:2.
"It's equalized! Yes! Those who look down on the Cavaliers are so stupid, the Cavaliers are obviously a stronger team than the Golden State Warriors! Do the Lakers think they can beat the Cavaliers by beating the Warriors? How naΓ―ve! β
"LeBron James is the real superstar who can compete with Xie! The Splash Brothers and Kevin Durant are still a notch away! β
Seeing the team equalize the big score, the Cavaliers' fans finally began to vent their dissatisfaction, since the finals started, the outside world thought that the Cavaliers could not stop the Lakers, one of the most important reasons was that Xie Chen felt that even the Warriors with the Big Four could win, let alone the Cavaliers who won the Big Three, but the strength shown by the Cavaliers today is not inferior to the Warriors, even if today's opponent is the Warriors, they will definitely lose.
The Cavaliers made 23 three-pointers today, which is a playoff game, which is undoubtedly a crazy statistic, and it is not surprising to win, and many people are starting to worry, if the Cavaliers can still play like this in the future, how will the Lakers respond?
"It seems that every championship is not easy to win." After the game, Xie Chen also sighed.
After defeating the Lakers again, the confidence of the Cavaliers team has completely risen, and the Cavaliers at this time are many times more terrible than the Cavaliers in the first game, because if the Cavaliers are 1:3, then James does not have much confidence to reverse, James does not have Kobe's stubbornness that I don't believe in, he is more of a rational person, only when he sees the score equalized, he will have more confidence and motivation to chase the championship.
The Lakers didn't stop in Clevelando, and soon flew back to Los Angeles, and when they came, everyone was still laughing, and when they left, they became silent.
"When I left a few days ago, I thought we would go back to Los Angeles with the O'Brien Trophy, and after we got off the plane, a lot of fans came to pick us up and celebrate, followed by a championship parade...... It seems that this will happen a few days later. Nick Young said a little depressed on the plane.
In fact, Xie Chen, like Nick Yang, also had such a beautiful fantasy, and he would also wonder if it would be the end of his career when he returned to Los Angeles?
Of course Xie Chen is happy to be able to return to Los Angeles to play at home, but if the series has been so deadlocked, it will make Xie Chen feel insecure, there are too many people in the Cavaliers who can stand up and score, today Lefu broke out, the next Irving broke out, and then the next game I don't know who stood up again, the next battle of Tianwang Mountain, they must win.
When I got off the plane, although it was not as grand as I imagined before, someone still came to pick me up, and the person who came was none other than the owner of the Lakers, Jeanie Buss.
After Jenny Bass saw Xie Chen, she actually smiled, this was not a polite smile, but she was really happy to see Xie Chen with such a result......
"Xie ......" Jenny Bass smiled and said to Xie Chen, of course she was happy, what did it mean to sweep? How good would it be to go back to the Lakers home court and play one more game? Even, Jeanie Buss has a more selfish idea, hoping that Xie Chen will lose the Finals, so that Xie Chen will continue to stay with the Lakers for another year, and Jeanie Buss can also make more money.
Jeanie Bass quickly realized that she shouldn't show too much excitement, so she immediately restrained her face and said, "Thanks, it's not easy to play away, I know you did your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself." β
Xie Chen saw Jeanie Buss's thoughts and teased, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, you must have hoped that we would have the O'Brien Trophy when we came, right?" β
Of course she wants the O'Brien Trophy, but in addition, she also wants Xie Chen's signature on the contract extension, Jenny Buss said: "As long as you're there, I'm not worried that we won't get it, the Cavaliers have a strong lineup, and we have lost Ci Shiping and Luo Erdeng, and you have to be ready for the next two games." β
Xie Chen nodded, the Cavaliers are absolutely qualified to defeat the Lakers in a reversal after tying, the Lakers must have the same sense of crisis as when they played the Warriors, and even the Lakers must start thinking about whether to start fighting for every ball to save the ball......
Two days later, the Lakers hosted the Staples Center for Game 5 of the Finals.
The finals have been played four times, ratings, tickets have reached new highs, a ticket price of two or three hundred thousand yuan is not uncommon, considering that the two sides are now tied, this fifth game does not determine the championship, if it is the sixth or seventh game that can divide the results of the game, the price of tickets will be even more crazy.
Some media said that Adam Shaw intends to make the Finals play the seventh game, because if seven games are played, the league will receive at least nearly $200 million from various contracts!
The price of the tickets seems to have made the members of these superstar viewing groups who have signed big contracts feel distressed.
In the VIP audience, James Harden said: "I need to calculate how much it will cost us to watch Xie play after the end of the season, and how long will this money be enough for me to play in the nightclub?" β
Whiteside said: "You still care about this for more than 30 million a year?" Carl Dons didn't feel distressed. β
Carl Downs said: "I don't care about the money, but after watching so many Xie games as a spectator, I realize that I am now a huge fan of him, and I am very distressed now, if he is still there in the second half, how should I face him?" β
Wei Shao also nodded: "That's right, I also found this problem, this is not a good phenomenon, if you watch too much of his game, you will indeed be afraid of this guy, and when you meet him again, you may become very unconfident." β
Not far from them, sat the three Kardashian sisters, the three of them appeared together for the first time in the finals, the Cavaliers won two games in a row, and Tristan Thompson also performed well, which made Khloe Kardashian feel very proud.
Khloe Kardashian said confidently: "Look, my man will help the team win this crucial battle." β
Khloe Kardashian has worked hard to make Thompson have the best condition and the strongest motivation to win in the past two days, and she has never pleased a man like this.
However, Kardashian's excitement didn't last long, because after the opening, Xie Chen found her boyfriend on the first ball!
