While the Cavaliers were picked with the fourth pick in the first round in 2016, the Nets also arrived in Cleveland on a special plane.

Carmelo Anthony was the first to come out of the plane cabin, looking at the poster of Li Wan that could be seen as soon as he walked out of the airport door, his eyes were full of scorching war intent.

Cleveland's May clouds have become a bit restless as a result.

Even the wind carries a terrible pain.

Well......

I'm here in Cleveland, and I'm here to give Li Wan and the city a pain!

Carmelo Anthony believes that after this series, he will bring the hat of "Li Wannemesis" to him.

Before the game, he once again confidently said: "We can definitely beat the Cavaliers!" ”

May 17, Cleveland Quickfinance Arena.

The NBA Eastern Conference Finals are the first to start!

"Come on, guys, let's have a good game and get the first win of the series first!" Carmelo Anthony asked his teammates to cheer him on before the game.

Just before entering the court, while still in the locker room, he keenly sensed the nervousness of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard as the game time approached.

He was not surprised by this, these two goods had lost to Li Wan too many times, and these painful pasts made them not believe that they could still defeat Li Wan. Carmelo Anthony had already stressed to them in the dressing room: "We have each other, and this is our most powerful weapon, so powerful that no one can defeat us!" ”

Now, once again, he said it.

The reporters on the sidelines sighed, from the Nuggets to the Clippers, from the Clippers to the Nets, how have they ever seen such a hot-blooded Carmelo Anthony?

Tonight, he is the "boss state" that Denver fans have been looking forward to for n years and have never seen!

Looking at such a combative Carmelo Anthony, Howard's eyes were a little suspicious, although he and Carmelo Anthony now have a good relationship, but listening to Cameron Anthony's words, he actually held back a sentence in his heart:

Really?

Can we really defeat Li Wan?

I don't read much, don't lie to me......

This is the fourth time in Howard's career that he has met Levan in the playoffs, and his partner has changed from Felton to Joe Johnson and Steve Nash, and then to Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony......

This is his first return to the Eastern Conference Finals in seven years, and it is indeed his best year in terms of final results, but he is more inclined to think ...... This time it was a good fate, and I didn't meet Li Wan and the Cavaliers in advance, otherwise the difference in results would not be too big......

Of course, looking at Carmelo Anthony who is so energetic at this moment, he definitely can't grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, so he nodded fiercely and responded.

Anthony looked at Howard, who was so positive, and nodded with satisfaction.

His teammates are so positive, and he also "Tianke" Li Wan, this is stable!

Won't you start the game against the Cavaliers with a 12-3, right?

Haha~( ̄▽ ̄~)~

The big screen on the scene gave the starting lineups on both sides:

"Cavaliers: No. 1 Levan, No. 2 Joe Johnson, No. 3 Wiggins, No. 4 Chris Bosh, No. 5 Adams;

Nets: Chris Paul at No. 1, Bogdanovic at No. 2, Carmelo Anthony at No. 3, Thaddeus Young at No. 4, Howard at No. 5; ”

Amid the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, the game officially began.

Howard managed to jump the ball to the opening game for the Nets.

Chris Paul got the ball to Carmelo Anthony as soon as he got the ball to the frontcourt.

Facing Wiggins at a 45-degree angle on the wing, Anthony's signature "three threats" started, but at this time, compared with when he was younger, he obviously increased his tonnage and less explosiveness.

Seeing that the breakthrough was blocked, Anthony, who stopped his steps, simply "hit a single with his back", but when he turned to face the frame, Li Wan quickly wrapped it up, and Cameron Anthony, who had already raised his hand, forcibly missed.

Howard expected to rush to the basket, but with Adams in the spot, he could only watch Chris Bosh snatch the rebound.

The Cavaliers counterattacked, and the ball was given to Li Wan 2 seconds later.

Seeing that there was only one Chris Paul in the Nets' retreat, Li Wan did not hesitate at all, bullied forward, and crushed Chris Paul to complete the frame.

2-0！

Paul stretched out his hands towards his teammates, how to defend against this!

Anthony continued to flank the ball.

The Cavaliers' defense of him is obvious, that is, through Wiggins' confrontation, let him play back, and when he was halfway through his back, Li Wan quickly stepped forward and formed a bag with Wiggins.

The effect of this move was obvious, and Carmelo Anthony's second shot was once again interfered with by Li Wan.

Ordinary people in the same position really can't form such a level of interference as him.

But who made Li Wan's hands almost catch up with the big fan?

Carmelo Anthony felt the bright lights of the arena dim a little when he faced his hands.

Howard still couldn't grab the offensive rebound, and Adams pinpointed his position. "Warcraft" showed a painful expression in the defense.

If it was just two consecutive failed rebounds, or frontcourt rebounds, Howard wouldn't have been so frustrated. It's because in the confrontation, he can clearly feel that Adams is very clear about some of his small movements.

But the question is......

He doesn't seem to have been in the same position with this guy a few times, has he?

Why is it so familiar?

His gaze casually slid over the Cavaliers' bench, where Kwame Brown was looking at him with a playful expression.

No wonder!

Howard suddenly understood why Adams was so used to him.

Behind the daring is the master of Kwame Brown!

When they were on the Magic team together, Brown didn't play "two-man games under the basket" with him, and he was really more familiar with him than the bitch he frequented in nightclubs.

It's basically a pout, and you know what kind of fart to put out!

This made him turn his head back to look back at Carmelo Anthony, and he was even more puzzled in his heart:

Can we really win?

This time, the Nets' retreat speed was very fast, when Li Wan held the ball to the frontcourt, their defensive formation had already been laid out, looking at Chris Paul, who was a whole head shorter than himself, Li Wan was also not polite, after a feint forced him to take a step back, he pulled up and shot, the ball shot quickly, Chris Paul could only watch Li Wan complete the shot except for jumping up and giving Li Wan's knee such a shot.

"Huh!"

Crisp snort.

Chris Paul had despair in his eyes.

How can you prevent this!

5-0！

Anthony was defended for two consecutive rounds, and this round did not take the initiative to ask for the ball again, but signaled Chris Paul to play on his own.

"CP3" called Howard's pick-and-roll, a throw before the free throw line, the arm just went up, Wiggins jumped out of nowhere, and his fingertips successfully rubbed the ball.

"Bang dang!"

The ball hits the basket and pops straight away.

When Howard went inside, he let Adams get stuck again, and when he desperately reached for the ball with his ability to get up to the basket, Li Wan protected the ball from in front of him.

Another wave of counter-attacks.

Only two people managed to retreat this time for the Nets, one was Carmelo Anthony and the other was Chris Paul.

But on the Cavaliers' side, Lee Wan broke through the middle with the ball, and Chris Bosh and Wiggins on the left and right wings also followed his rhythm.

Three-on-two in the front!

Looking at Anthony and Paul, who were desperately retreating, Li Wan slowed down in front of the free throw line and made a gesture to shoot. Seeing this, Anthony hurriedly pounced. Lewan seized the gap and gave the ball to Chris Bosh on the wing, and Bosh "inside crossed" to assist Wiggins to complete an easy dunk.

7-0！

Wiggins smirked as the referee blew the whistle and Jason Kidd called a timeout.

"Guys, wake up, don't be stupid, we are already standing on the stage of the East Showdown, show our strength!" Kidd thinks the Nets haven't recovered from the intensity of the semifinals yet, and thinks this is the second round against the Bulls.

This is already the Eastern Conference Finals, and the opponent has also become the Cavaliers, who have won 37 consecutive games in the regular season!

So......

Wake up, everyone!

Looking at Jason Kidd who was so excited, Carmelo Anthony's first reaction was......

The coach was right!

It's just that we haven't adapted yet, and when we get used to it, we will definitely win!

Having just been beaten 7-0, Carmelo Anthony, who was a little confused, regained his fortitude.

At the same time, on the Cavaliers' bench, Tyronn Lue didn't take the tactical board, looking at the Cavaliers' starters who didn't sweat one by one: "Okay, guys, I feel like the warm-up can be over, let's give the opposite side a little more intensity!" ”

Everyone on the Cavaliers nodded, and as they entered the court, there was another stormy cheer.

With less than two minutes into the game, they knew that if nothing else, they would see the Cavaliers end Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals with a big win.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blows and the game resumes.

In the first round, Chris Paul continued to find Howard on the inside to block and dismantle, but this time the Cavaliers' defense became more ferocious, and before Howard could get to the pick-and-roll position, Li Wan and Joe Johnson had already forced Chris Paul back two or three steps away.

Carmelo Anthony had to run to pick it up.

When he got the ball, Wiggins and his confrontation intensity was full, and when he finally got to the front court with the ball, the bag came up again.

For more than ten seconds, the Nets were stunned and had no chance to make a move.

Not to mention the chance to shoot, not even the chance to pull away with the ball......

"Cast quickly, cast quickly, there is not enough time!"

There was a rush from Kidd on the sidelines, and Anthony could only force his shot, and the ball "clanged" and hit the neck of the basket.

This time, though, Howard grabbed the rebound.

"Smack!"

With a hard blow, the shot of "Warcraft" was destroyed.

Adams gestured to the referee in time.

Watching Howard walk to the free-throw line, Bill Wharton looked at each other with Drexler and Chris Webber on the ESPN commentary bench. Bill Wharton said: "The Cavaliers fought fiercely in this game! ”

Drexler laughed: "It's no wonder that before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Nets shouted to the media several times, saying that they will definitely be able to beat the Cavaliers and enter the final Finals. ”

Chris Webber looked at the screen with some confusion, and until now, he still doesn't understand why the Nets are so confident......

Not to mention that this team played 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Bulls last season alone, just this season, they once played a 37-game winning streak, proud of the entire league, this record alone is enough to make all teams in the league look at it, right?

Instead of being vigilant, the Nets took the initiative to provoke......

"Bang dang!"

"Huh!"

Howard, who struggled to make two free throws from the free throw line, scored his team's first point of the game.

Li Wan held the ball to the front court, faced Chris Paul, and it was another "dry shot", and the ball fell into the net.

Chris Paul shook his head helplessly, he really didn't have a temper at all.

10-1！

Anthony asked for the ball on the flank again, and this time in the face of Wiggins' defense, he chose to half-turn to the other side, which allowed him to successfully avoid Leewan's interference, although Chris Bosh made up for it, but Bosh's hands were as small as his feet, and the interference was not too strong, and the ball successfully went into the frame.

3-10……

"Defend, defend, defend!"

Anthony, who hit the shot, yelled at the team and took the initiative to switch defenses with Chris Paul.

Since he is "Li Wan's nemesis", of course he has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Li Wan!

Li Wan, who did not have a height advantage, did not shoot directly this time, but gave the ball to Joe Johnson next to him, and then tried to quickly get rid of Anthony without the ball. He is well aware that "Melon" has poor off-ball defensive habits.

But what he didn't expect was that when he wasn't holding the ball, Anthony still clinged to him tightly, and from time to time he came to some physical confrontation.

Kenny Smith looked at it and called out "good guys".

Carmelo Anthony who is so desperate on the defensive end, he hasn't seen it in a long time.

I have to remember that it was in the Western Conference Finals in '09......

The big battle between the Nuggets and the Lakers.

However, positivity does not solve all the problems, Li Wan's ability to run without the ball is now on the 90s, after a "sudden brake", followed by the cover of his teammates, he successfully distanced himself from Anthony, re-caught the ball in his hand, Li Wan's shooting action deceived Anthony to rush forward, swept in front of him, and completed the split dunk with one hand in the glide, which incidentally caused a foul by Thaddeus Young.

"Phew!"

"Toot!"

The referee signaled that the goal was valid, and he could add a penalty to the goal.

“MVP！”

“MVP！”

“MVP！”

This ball directly turned the entire quick loan arena upside down, and when Li Wan shot the basketball, the unified "MVP" sound resounded throughout the stadium.

Carmelo Anthony watched as Li Wan hit a steady free throw to make it 13-3......

1 point more than the "scoring climax" he thought the Nets could play before the game!

Seashell......

How is that possible?

Anthony is not "Sister Li".

Since he entered the Clippers, he has not been beaten so badly by Li Wan at the beginning......

And soon, he discovered that Li Wan and this knight team were different from before......

They also ......

It's too hard, right?

Carmelo Anthony watched Chris Bosh plant himself in the front row of spectators in order to save an "out-of-bounds ball", Wiggins staggered towards the ball carrier when he lost his center of gravity in the confrontation, and Adams alone stuck two Nets players behind him to help Levan grab a defensive rebound......

No!

Why is this Adams so eager to grab rebounds?

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets, who failed to resist the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive intensity, were directly beaten to an 18-point difference.

Barkley couldn't help but hiccup as he looked at the score on both sides at the end of the first quarter: 35-17.

That's it?

It's just as provocative as the real thing before the game!

He really thinks that the Nets have mastered some "key killer move"!

Now it seems that the "key killer move" has not been mastered, but the "key traffic" has been mastered...... In the pre-game interview, the confident quotations allowed them to successfully "break the circle" and infinitely raise the fans' expectations for them......

It's just that now it seems that they are going to become "clowns......

How is that possible?

How could this be?

Carmelo Anthony sat on the bench and still refused to accept the reality, obviously he is "Li Wannemesis"! In the regular season for so many years before, he was almost the last person to have the last laugh, and he also swept Li Wan's team in the regular season, how could this be the first quarter of the Eastern Conference Finals......

Was it knocked down?

Wrong......

It should still not be adaptable!

When I get used to it, it's fine, this time is the time to test my ability as a superstar, as long as I don't drop the chain, there will definitely be a chance in the future!

Capable ......

You're going to hit me another 35-17!

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, "Melon" came on the court angrily, this time he was more active on both offensive and defensive ends, looking at his appearance, the first and second quarters of the Eastern Conference Finals became the final showdown......

He is so dedicated, but also led the momentum of the Nets, although the point difference did not widen much, but it was able to stabilize the current situation, at the end of the half, the Cavaliers, who played an 18-point difference in the first quarter, "only" led by 19 points.

That said, the Cavaliers scored just one more point than the Nets in the second quarter......

I'll just say it!

Something must have gone wrong!

How else could it be?

Carmelo Anthony now insists that the Nets' first-quarter rout was largely due to a lack of familiarity with the Cavaliers' intensity.

On the ESPN commentary bench, Drexler watched the Nets' performance in the second quarter and also thought that the Nets had eased up: "Maybe after the halftime adjustment, they may still narrow the difference by ......."

This was not heard by Anthony in the locker room, otherwise, he would have to give him a thumbs up:

Know the ball!

Jason Kidd also said to the Nets before returning to the court: "The most critical moment is over, guys, keep our momentum going, the game is over with two quarters left, and the situation of completely recovering 19 points in the third quarter is everywhere in this league right now, and I believe that tonight will be another ...... Come on, guys, let's play a nice comeback! ”

A wave of pride burst out from the hearts of every Nets player.

It's just that as soon as the third quarter came up, Li Wan faced Cameron Anthony's close defense, bypassing Adams was a direct three-point shot, Anthony didn't expect Li Wan's shot to be so tough in this round, and when the whole person chased back, he subconsciously wanted to confront, and the result was ......

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blows!

And then......

"Huh!"

The ball hits the frame.

“yes！”

Li Wan, who was sitting on the ground, clenched his fist fiercely, and this scene fell in the eyes of the Cleveland people at the scene, and suddenly caused a huge "MVP" sound.

"Huh!"

3 plus 1, this opening 4 points, so that the Nets fell behind by 23 points all of a sudden......

Even in the faster-paced "small-ball era", a 23-point difference is enough to call the game a flower.

What's more important is this ball, which makes the Nets finally regenerate a little bit of fighting spirit......

For example, Howard, who had just listened to Jason Kidd in the locker room, shouted "Rush Duck", but at this moment, watching Li Wan hit "3 plus 1", the broken thoughts in his heart became:

I knew it...... I knew it!

He's used to it anyway!

Because, this is the first time he doesn't know how many times he has been beaten by Li Wan and lost his temper......

In his opinion, this year's Eastern Conference Finals are just another one!

Anthony wanted to fight back, but today Levan and Wiggins and Chris Bosh made it clear that they were eyeing him.

No matter which way he turns, he will inevitably be surrounded by a bag.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that at this time, the shortcomings of wing singles are revealed.

The wing singles require the ball-handler's teammates to pull him away, which leads to his teammates being in a wait-and-see state of "hands on the waist" at this time, and the entire tactical run is also in a "dead" state.

This gives the pack players more opportunities to come forward and block.

At this time, players who have the ability to play the ball may be more threatening......

But players who don't have the ability to play the ball can only force their shots when facing the bag.

This is also the reason why in the later NBA, it is difficult to see the wing back play.

Compared with the low-post singles, it has a higher tactical significance, and after the flank back plays to attract the bag, the tactical effect of pulling the empty defense is too poor......

Especially in the more mature "small ball era", a player with the ability to catch and shoot must be more marketable than a player who can play with his back to his back......

In the face of the pounce, Anthony's shot bounced out of the frame, and this time it was Howard who stepped up to protect the rebound, and after a desperate hand-to-hand fight under the basket, Howard successfully caused a foul.

1 of 2 free throws!

Looking back, Li Wan still called for blocking and dismantling outside the three-point line, bypassing the cover and spinning even if he shot directly.

Anthony, who had just been made a "3 plus 1", didn't dare to be so fierce this time, so that this time he could only watch Li Wan shoot a three-pointer.

Again!

The difference is 26 points!

Jason Kidd had no choice but to call a timeout in the midst of the crowd.

He also involuntarily glanced in the direction of Li Wan.

This guy ......

Are you sure it's not a monster?

Carmelo Anthony also looked at Li Wan, who hit a three-pointer again, in a daze.

This was the first time he had looked at Li Wan with such eyes.

He was eager to ask:

Brother, what did you eat?

Why is it so fierce?

He refused to believe what had just happened.

But this score, as well as the timeout called by Kidd, and the tsunami of the whole game, made him have to believe that Li Wan scored 7 points in less than 1 minute just now......

Moreover, all in front of him!

Even, he couldn't even stop the foul......

Li Wan got off the field amid cheers, and glanced at the "Nerve Knife" badge lit up in the system by the way.

In the first half, he threw a mid-distance whistle, and after the ball was thrown, the "nerve knife" badge lit up, which is why Li Wan shot so decisively in the second half......

"Nerve knife" in hand, that's not the world I have?

The bout continued for the rest of the day, with Jason Kidd changing his defensive approach to Lee Wan after a timeout.

As long as Li Wan blocked and dismantled, he immediately arranged to change the defense.

It's just that Li Wan's shot is too fast, and he can only arrange Howard to defend with him.

Can be "small and big" outside the three-point line......

In a flash, Li Wan rushed past Howard's side and easily completed the violent buckle.

9 points in a row!

Kenny Smith shouted, "Leewan, still scoring!" ”

The difference is 28 points......

The cheers of the whole scene could not be stopped, and the Nets launched an attack in the midst of this cheer, obviously impatient, even the pass was very rough, and a communication error, Carmelo Anthony missed the receiving position, but Paul passed the ball. Anthony turned around quickly, almost dodging, but could only watch Wiggins hold the ball in his hands.

It's the Cavaliers' counterattack again.

The ball went to Li Wan's hand.

At first glance, the opposite side didn't mean to pounce on him, but he just shrank back vigorously, and he raised his hand to "chase three points".

The moment the ball was scored, the decibel of this stadium came to the strongest in history, I don't know, I thought how many bombs were smashed on this stadium.

"It's 31 minutes!" Kenny Smith Dow; "Li Wan's three-point shot killed the game!"

Drexler watched dumbfounded, he didn't forget the prediction he made at halftime, and the result was ......

Just three minutes into the third quarter, his face was pumped with pain.

The collapse of adults is often instantaneous, and so are the adults of the Nets......

After Li Wan's three-pointer, their eyes lost their ......

And in the next offensive and defensive battle, their negativity is also obvious, Barkley looked at them and couldn't help but think of the scene when he faced Michael Jordan in the Finals, he said: "I understand the current situation of this Nets team, and their thoughts......"

The feeling of powerlessness in the face of the "God of Basketball" is like this!

Of course, that's just his thoughts right now, and when the game continues, he finds that the little bit of hardship he's suffering pales in comparison to the kind of frustration the Nets are facing right now......

35 points, 40 points, 45 points......

By the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers' lead had reached 48 points......

"What's the record for the largest point margin in a single game in the playoffs?" Barkley asked Kenny Smith.

Kenny Smith said: "58 points ......"

In these areas, he is professional.

"Coincidentally, the creator and the victim at that time are also on the scene at the moment......"

In the second round of '09, the Nuggets led by Cameron Anthony defeated Chris Paul's Hornets by a score of 58 points.

It is worth mentioning that it was also at the end of the regular season that year that Li Wan's Magic team gave Chris Paul's Hornets a 61-point victory, which was also the largest single-game point difference in the current regular season history...... Dwight Howard was also the Magic's center at the time! ”

What do you mean by "complete elements"?

This is called "losing everything"!

"Shaq, do you think there will be a new playoffs with the largest single-game point difference this time?" Barkley looked at O'Neill again.

O'Neill nodded affirmatively: "Of course!" ”

"What if Jason Kidd drops his starting lineup at this time and goes straight to the white flag?" Barkley asked again.

O'Neal's answer did not hesitate at all: "In my opinion, even so, the Cavaliers can set a new historical record!" ”

The atmosphere is here, even if you change the starting lineup and put the bench on the court, the Cavaliers' bench can spare you?

It's impossible!

And the truth did not surprise Shaq O'Neill.

As soon as the fourth quarter began, Jason Kidd really waved the white flag and didn't pick up any starters.

Tyronn Lu also followed the rules of the rivers and lakes and asked Li Wan and other starters to "clock in and out".

But another embarrassing weakness for the Nets is exposed at this moment, and what they are even stronger is their starting lineup. When it comes to the bench, they don't have much of an advantage over all the teams in the league.

But the Cavaliers can be at the top of the league before the strength of the bench.

This season's "Sixth Man of the Year" is on this team......

So as soon as the fourth quarter came up, the Cavaliers, who were also on the bench, caught the Nets bench, which had little fighting spirit, and played a wave of 8-0 scoring climax.

The difference between the two sides has reached 56 points, and there is only 2 points left from the record for the largest single-game point difference in the NBA playoffs.

Jason Kidd jumped to his feet in a hurry, wanting to call a timeout, but for fear of causing some unnecessary misunderstanding, he could only watch.

The Nets bench players also seem to feel that a historic moment has arrived, they suddenly burst out of a "will to survive", relying on this fighting spirit, they stubbornly survived for 6 minutes, seeing that the game is almost over, the 2-point difference can not be pulled, Wade immediately stood up:

What else is there to say!

It's time for me to "The Flash"!

A "lost step", a "Wade fall", the Cavaliers' lead margin came to 60 points......

"Toot!"

In the end, the game ended at 122-61......

The Cavaliers were just twice as wide as the Nets.

The final point difference of 61 points is also the largest single-game margin in the NBA's new playoffs.

"Okay, that's the end of today's game, hopefully the Nets can adjust well and look forward to their next meeting......"

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Nets are gone.

On the NBA stage, such a big loss is enough to collapse a team, especially when this is still the stage of the playoffs. The next thing the Nets will face is still the Cavaliers......

The thought of having to play three games against the team that beat them to a 61-point deficit, let alone the Nets, even Bill Wharton, an outsider, felt black when he heard it.

Tynyima is murderous!

The live footage was first given to the Cavaliers.

The 61-point win didn't excite them too much, they just high-fived each other and walked towards the home players' tunnel.

Li Wan, who scored 35 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game, is being interviewed, and the camera zooms in to clearly hear him answering questions: "It's a good big win, but that's all, we need to win three more games to get to the Finals, everyone knows what kind of situation we're in now, we want to leave a championship trophy for Cleveland, compared to this, other things, it's not so important......

61 points, a good big win......

Listen, is this talking about human language?

The camera also swept over the Nets......

Carmelo Anthony looked confused.

It seems that something that has always been firm in faith has been shattered.

Chris Paul buried his head in a towel and didn't bother to get up.

Dwight Howard is relatively normal, and he's used to being abused by Lee. But the big boy's smile on his face was not as good as before, replaced by a bitter smile.

Early the next morning, the news that the Cavaliers beat the Nets by 61 points in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals swept the United States like snowflakes.

Almost all the media agreed that the Cavaliers could already study the Finals opponents......

"That's really an exaggeration, is this sure to be the Eastern Conference Finals?"

"I'm curious, where the hell did Carmelo Anthony get the confidence to think they could beat the Cavaliers?"

"Is this the so-called pretending to be the biggest b, and being beaten the hardest? Do the Nets still dare to say that they will be able to beat the Cavaliers? ”

……

Laughter filled the web.

Cameron Anthony looked at the ridicule and silently searched for past regular season games with him.

He has watched these videos countless times, and it is also these videos that make him firmly believe that he is "Li Wannexing......

But this time, when he opened these videos, he wanted to know more why he was able to beat Li Wan before, but this time he was defeated by Li Wan with 61 points!

Is it because I'm not as good as I used to be?

He reflected on his stats in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals: 16 points on 6-of-17 shooting, 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, six rebounds and five turnovers.

The bags of Leewan, Wiggins, and Chris Bosh are so ruthless!

The Nets collapsed from the beginning in this game, and it really has something to do with him......

Is it just because I'm getting weaker?

That's what Anthony really wants to know.

After all the videos were quickly reviewed, he realized that it was not only him alone, but also because his teammates had also weakened......

Chris Paul and Howard are very famous, but after the first game, the two men had 16 points and 8 assists, and the other had 14 points and 9 rebounds, and made 3 of 10 free throws......

Compared to the two of them, his former teammates on the Clippers, Griffin, Jordan Jr., and earlier Billups are obviously a little more powerful.

He can't do it, and his teammates aren't as good as they used to be, so he lost by 61 points?

It seems like......

Is that still not enough?

He continued to watch the video back, and he was bound to find the key point in it!

At the same time, the first game of the Western Conference Finals has officially begun.

Before the game, the league officially announced the regular season MVP for this season.

Although it caused a lot of controversy because of his performance against the Thunder in the semifinals, the regular season MVP vote at this time had already been decided at the end of the regular season.

So......

Stephen Curry was still elected "regular season MVP" with 33.4% of the vote.

He has been the "second" of Li Wan on the data list several times, and this time he finally pressed Li Wan under him. Li Wan's vote rate is actually very high, with 28.6%.

That's 14.5% higher than James Harden.

During the Cavaliers' 37-game winning streak, it was a period of time when Li Wan's call for winning the regular season MVP was gradually rising.

What a pity!

In the end, it was the Warriors' 73-9 record that made the media more recognized......

Of course, there is a very main reason:

Stephen Curry is the first time, and Lee has already won the fourth regular season MVP of his career......

In terms of freshness, Li Wan suffers!

That night, Stephen Curry also received the first regular season MVP trophy of his career in front of all Warriors fans.

When the cheers of "MVP" filled the entire Oracle Arena, the momentum of the Warriors was directly full.

However, the Hornets are obviously also rushing to smash the court, and the state of both sides is coming up very quickly, you come and go, after the first quarter, 33-31 on both sides, the Warriors who are fighting at home barely lead by 2 points.

But as soon as the second quarter began, James Harden hit a three-pointer from the outside to give the Hornets the lead again.

After that, the two sides alternated leads, and at 6 minutes and 14 seconds in the third quarter, the scramble under the basket of the two teams became the fuse of this game......

Anthony Davis was driven to the ground by a big move by Thompson next to him, but the referee didn't see it, and when Green got the rebound and landed, his feet happened to be mixed with Anthony's hands who wanted to protect his head.

Fortunately, Anthony reacted quickly and subconsciously put it away......

At this time, Green was already ready to "trample on the war", and because of Anthony's hand, he directly lost his balance and fell to the other side...... There was no future drama.

In the end, 50 boards were played on each side.

One side ate a technical foul.

But after that, the smell of gunpowder on both sides of the already beef escalated even more.

Green, in particular, began a deliberate retaliation.

Thanks to the sharp eyes of the referee on the bottom line, Green found the malicious action and ejected him from the game.

At this time, the Warriors had not yet turned on the "residual blood buff", and the situation on the court completely turned to the Hornets. In the end, the Hornets won 118-109 on the home court of the Warriors and won the "good start" of the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, Anthony Davis said directly: "Green is a villain with no work ethic, he shouldn't be on the court, such a person should be banned forever!" ”

The support he received was not small, after all, it was not the first time that Green had committed a crime, especially after he became famous, the number of such small actions became more and more numerous, and the nature of the actions became more and more bad! For example, in the semifinals just played against the Thunder, he used some controversial moves towards Westbrook, but in the end, the referee only gave a first-degree malicious foul.

That's how he escaped.

Unexpectedly, this time, his behavior was even worse!

At that moment, if Anthony Davis doesn't dodge, the consequences are really unimaginable......

However, it may also be because Anthony Davis dodged at that time, and there was no bad result, even if Anthony Davis continued to protest after the game, the league did not add additional penalties.
