Chapter 367: "Public Enemy of the Alliance" (10,000-word chapter)
The Warriors, who played 67 wins in the regular season, pinned the expectations of many fans on the 14~15 season. Diaphragm
Not everyone is a fan of superteams, and since the Celtic triumvirate won the championship, some fans have been questioning:
"Why do these stars get together?"
When LeBron James's "Decision" happened, many people thought that the NBA finale was over, except for the Heat fans.
However, the unexpected rise of the Thunder team has broken the inherent impression of fans, piling up stars, and they may not necessarily win the championship.
It's just that after Li Ze and Durant both won the scoring title, some fans broke the defense again:
"Why would two leading scorers be on the same team? It's the NBA finale! β
The Thunder used their talent to easily win two championships, and then a new collective bargaining agreement came along and the team disintegrated... Diaphragm
Before the lemon essence fans had time to rejoice, Li Ze, who returned to Los Angeles, teamed up with Paul and Griffin to start the dynasty mode again, winning the championship for two consecutive years.
Many fans are unhappy again, and there are more and more voices complaining:
"Hell super team! Why can't anyone beat them? β
Fans don't care that the Clippers have moved to third place in the league in salaries this season.
Fans won't care that before Li Ze came to the team, the Clippers were actually in the first round, and even the Clippers team had not reached the Western Conference Finals in its history.
People just don't want to see one person always succeed, just like a lot of fans didn't like Michael Jordan back then, one person shines, and everyone else becomes a foil.
But the accumulation of honor is like this, if you want to be the best in history, you are destined to rule an era, and competitive sports is to always strive for the first. Diaphragm
Some sports reporters have actually seen enough of the Clippers and won too much, so when the Warriors hit a 67-win record, the happiest thing was the sports media, and the Clippers' opponent finally came!
After the G3 of the Western Conference Finals, expectations turned to disappointment, and some sports reporters finally showed their true colors.
The Warriors are really just a gun in their hands, and when the gun is out of effect, all that's left is endless taunts.
After the game, sports reporters seemed to forget that the Warriors were actually a budding team, and at the press conference, they fired directly at Steve Kerr:
"Can we think of the Warriors as a regular-season team?"
"With the Clippers attrition, they lost three games in a row? How to rate Stephen Curry's performance? β
Despite anticipating such a situation in the post-match press conference, Steve Kerr was a little on fire: Wait
"I can't define what a regular season team is, I just know that my players are doing their best."
"Kayce scored 55 points on 67.8 percent shooting, and with that kind of player, the Clippers have that kind of player, it's really hard for them to lose."
"As for Curry, I think he's played at MVP level, and we can't ask for a player by Kayce's standards, that's not fair to Curry."
"With 37 points in the Western Conference Finals, we should all give praise to Curry's performance!"
Played 44 minutes, 13 of 23, including 7 of 13 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 37 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.
The sports reporters who were present heard Steve Cole's words and didn't say anything, 37 points? They have seen a lot of this kind of score!
Since Li Ze came to the Clippers, if the scorer doesn't score 40 points in the playoffs, can he still be called a superstar? Diaphragm
Steve Kerr encountered difficulties, and then Curry came to the press conference, which was naturally questioned.
"Why did the shooting percentage drop in the fourth quarter?"
"Do you feel like you're being overrated?"
"As a superstar for the Warriors, why don't you go and defend Kayce?"
The problem is getting more and more outrageous, Curry almost turned around and left, he is not a robot, and if there is a problem with physical fitness, the hit rate will decrease!
Defending Li Ze? The difference in the body of the two is to give away points, and the basketball game is not a heads-up competition...
Curry, who ended the press conference, only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and after saying goodbye to his teammates, he went to the parking lot to drive home, but as soon as he got in the car, he found Ayesha wearing a Li Ze jersey. Diaphragm
"Annie told me that wearing the opponent's jersey after a loss makes you feel better, don't care about the result, you're my superhero tonight."
The corners of Curry's mouth, who was holding his beloved wife, twitched, and finally shook his head helplessly:
"I'm exhausted tonight, darling! Don't worry about me, I'll win it back next year! β
Ayesha hugged each other tightly again when she heard Curry's words, saw her husband's tiredness, and finally said intimately:
"Forget about tonight's game! Let's go home! β
β...β
After the end of G3 in the Western Conference Finals, Li Ze's 55 points on social media swiped the screen again. Diaphragm
The bleachers (b/r) updated the data poster on ins as soon as possible.
Li Ze and Allen Iverson's dribbling breakthrough became the main body of the poster, and with 50+ data, it soon triggered a reprint from fans.
"4 times 50+ in the playoffs, Kayce broke Allen Iverson's record and continued to chase greatness!"
In addition to announcing Li Ze's data on Twitter, the NBA League also launched another hot topic by the way:
"Can Kayce surpass Michael Jordan's playoff record of 8 50+ points?"
Although Li Ze has almost crushed contemporary players, every time he hits outrageous statistics, there is always a big mountain ahead.
Michael Jordan's old fans also spoke out at this time, and Li Ze's fan combat effectiveness is also increasing day by day
"It's only 8 times 50+, this record belongs to Kayce sooner or later!"
"If Jordan had met Kayce in the '90s, he wouldn't have won that many championships at all!"
Li Ze didn't pay attention to the voices on social media, the overall situation has been decided, and he didn't stay at the hotel where the team was tonight.
In this Western Conference Finals, when Ayesha was in Los Angeles, Anne was in charge of hospitality, and after coming to Oakland, Anne naturally followed.
It's just that Anne seems to be a little sentimental tonight, Ayesha has a second child, and Curry's eldest daughter is about to enter elementary school...
After taking a bath with Li Ze, Anne's face was slightly red, as if thinking of her college days, and she lay in Li Ze's arms and whispered:
"Ayesha and I actually had a quiet discussion back then, and we both thought that even if you and Curry entered the NBA, there was a high probability that they would become role players." Diaphragm
"It's amazing how it feels like you're meeting each other in the Western Conference Finals."
Curry was a big name in college, but unfortunately, the media didn't favor the baby-faced player, believing that he was too thin to play well in the NBA's high-profile games.
Li Ze, like the turtle turtle in his freshman year, was not the team's trump card.
Turtle is a substitute for Darren Collisson, and although Li Ze is a starter, the statistics are not impressive.
Thinking of his college days, Li Ze jokingly said:
"You're not going to talk about how to raise a family, are you? Stephen's family is not short of money, and you know my situation. β
"I did think about it, after all, life is my own! Wouldn't it be better if I converted to Catholicism? "Ahh
Anne's face turned a lot ruddy, and she didn't slap Li Ze's big hand, but leaned into her ear and whispered to ask.
This kind of meaningful words suddenly made Li Ze cry and laugh, and hugged the girl in his arms again:
"It has nothing to do with faith! It's all luck, we're just missing some luck. β
As if feeling that luck was not on her side, Anne twisted Li Ze again:
"I really didn't expect that no one in her family objected to this, you are such a little bastard!"
Thinking that Shakira's father had also scolded him like this, Li Ze also leaned into Anne's ear and whispered:
"In the eyes of our parents, we will always be children, and they just don't want us to end up alone." Diaphragm
Anike didn't know that in Li Ze's eyes, they were all little girls, the black-haired royal sister only felt that the man-making movement could not be stopped, the second child was not counted on first, and the husband before the age of 30 said it...
"Don't make excuses, I understand your body, I have to continue tonight!"
Li Ze looked at Anne riding on his body, and thought of the situation in the forest, and suddenly felt that he would have to fall on the bed sooner or later:
"It's difficult to have a child, and the system is harmful!"
...
Chris Paul has been in high spirits lately, scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover in the Western Conference Finals G3 game, 9-of-17, including 2-of-5 three-pointers and 6-of-7 free throws.
When Li Ze was trapped, Paul could always stand up and organize the scoring, and the Clippers almost relied on the strength of the two to defeat the Warriors. Diaphragm
After last night's game, Paul got a new nickname, "Point God"!
The point guard is the point guard, and the new nickname can be regarded as a homonym, the god of point guard, which can be regarded as the recognition of Paul by ball critics.
With two championships in hand and a high probability of winning three consecutive championships, Paul's popularity is naturally rising, and his historical status has also improved a lot.
Of course, lemon essence is also increasing day by day, and some ball critics are questioning Paul's thigh-hugging position.
ESPN's columnist Kip Bayless is not only famously Jenhey, but also a person who questions the gold content of Lee's title.
On the morning of the 24th, in ESPN's playoff program, Kip Bayless pointed the finger at Paul again this time:
"I don't recognise Paul's current achievements, just like I said that Kayce's championship is not golden, Paul's championship is all due to Kayce." Diaphragm
"My grandmother and Kayce teamed up to win the championship, and although this view is a bit outrageous, I think the basic logic is correct."
Although this time is not the kind of quarrelsome show that First Take is, Kip Bayless, as a guest, is still full of gunpowder.
Stephen A. Smith, who was also a guest, naturally did not get used to his old partner when he heard such a point of view, and immediately retorted loudly:
"Champions are champions! Chris Paul did his job brilliantly as the team's point guard! β
"Listen, Paul is a point guard! Kayce is a shooting guard, and the two work together to succeed. β
"It's like Kayce and Durant partnering up during the Thunder period, the two sides are complementary! All your views are wrong. β
The host saw that the two seemed to be arguing again, and hurriedly brought the topic back to tonight's game: Yan
βokοΌ Guys! Today we're going to talk about the Hawks vs. Cavaliers game! β
Kip Bayless heard the host's words, and said in a somewhat depressed tone:
"As much as I would say the Cavaliers are going to lose, the truth is that the Hawks don't have a superstar and LeBron James is going to sweep the opponent and make it to the Finals again."
Stephen A. Smith was also immediately convinced:
"There is no doubt about it! LeBron James is getting better and better, playing at home, and he will take advantage of this opportunity, and after tonight, the series will be 3-0. β
β...β
The Eagles have been disparaged by Amerika's critics since losing two home games, and Coach Budenhozer has become a joke. Diaphragm
Even with Kyrie Irving out injured, no one believes the Hawks can turn the tables against the wind.
In the game that night, LeBron James led the team alone, and after a hard overtime, the Cavaliers finally defeated the opponent at 111:114 and got the series match point.
The Cavaliers rotated 7 players, and the playing time of the main lineup basically came to 40 minutes, and Coach David Blatter has thoroughly mastered the strongest tactics, and it would be good to knock the main team to death.
LeBron James played explosive statistics again, playing 47 minutes, 14-of-37, and cutting down a luxurious triple-double of 37 points, 18 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 6 turnovers!
After the game, the wallgrass turned into Jamie and frantically praised James' performance:
"LeBron James is the savior of Cleveland!"
The situation in the Finals has become clear, and this year it is LeBron James vs Li Ze again. Diaphragm
The Clippers are likely to sweep the Warriors, and the Cavaliers also have a chance to sweep the Hawks, with both teams playing dominantly in the division finals.
In terms of personal performance, Li Ze scored 55 points, and LeBron James' 37 points and triple-double can be regarded as equal.
It's just that when they think of the situation in the finals, Amilika's media reporters all look a little strange:
Can the injured Cavaliers challenge the 73-win Clippers?
On May 25th, the Western Conference Finals G4 officially began.
Both teams only have a little more than a day to rest, so there won't be many changes to the starting lineup.
In Oracle Arena, Warriors fans are still cheering for the home team. Diaphragm
Although the series has fallen behind 0-3, at home, everyone still wants to see the Warriors win a game.
In the first quarter of the game, the Warriors fans were in high spirits, the team was in good shape, and the score alternated leads.
In the second quarter, the game changed abruptly, and the Warriors suddenly attacked dumbly, and at 28:17 in the first quarter, the Clippers suddenly widened the difference to double digits.
At halftime, at 58:45, the Warriors trailed by 13 points.
On the ESPN commentary bench, commentator Mike Brin understood the Warriors' situation very well:
"Thanks to Stephen Curry, who made us realize that superstars are not omnipotent "supermen", Curry's performance is in line with our perception. β
Mark Jackson looked a little lost, after all, he had personally led the Warriors, and when he saw that the team was about to be swept out, his tone was a little low
"Curry is not Kayce after all, he is 1 of 5 from the three-point line tonight, and he will fall into a slump after the highlights, obviously, the game of G3 is very expensive for him."
Jeff Van Gundy also understands the mood of his old partner, and briefly commented on the state of the Warriors:
"When Yondalla becomes the team's main scorer, it's a sign that the Warriors have a problem on the perimeter."
"Kerry Thompson was in average form tonight, only three shots in the half, scored two points, and the defensive end was too much to consume, which has affected his shots."
The Warriors' locker room was unusually dull, and no amount of chicken soup could do anything, and they were going to be swept out.
The stage of being stretched apart happened to be caused by Curry's continuous mistakes, and the emotion of self-blame filled Curry's heart.
In the end, he is just a newcomer, playing the Western Conference Finals for the first time, and once there is a headwind situation, Curry is also a little uncontrollable. Diaphragm
The big-mouthed Graymond Green has been remarkably silent in recent days, and if Curry is blaming himself, his heart is filled with despair.
If the bag is blown up, the bag is also blown up, and his proud defensive awareness seems to have lost its effect, and whenever Li Ze comes to the paint area, he can always score easily.
Steve Cole regretted that he fought so hard in the last game that he might not even get a point in the battle of honor tonight.
"Forget the scoreline, forget the performance in the first half and treat this game as if it was the last game of the season!"
"Don't forget to come and support our fans, give your best and let the fans see our attitude."
Steve Cole's back-to-back chicken soup finally lifted the players' spirits, the atmosphere team followed with a shout, and the locker room finally came alive.
In contrast, the Clippers were in the locker room, with everyone beaming and winning, and if they win tonight's game, they will be crowned with another division title. Diaphragm
Jokic didn't have much playing time, but the white fat man remembered what Li Ze said, if you win the division championship trophy, you will get a bonus, which is the most important thing.
The American knife is the motivation, so as long as the players of the Clippers are on the court, they will do their best.
"Don't let up, try your best to keep up when you change guards!"
Paul was still reminding Jordan Jr. of his defensive problems, perhaps because he felt that the game was in his hands, and the championship center was a little floating tonight, and the defense was stretched after coming on late in the second quarter.
Fortunately, Curry's outside line is inaccurate, otherwise the difference will definitely not reach 13 points.
Little Jordan dared not speak out, Griffin was injured, he felt that he was the third oldest member of the team, but Paul still treated him as a dish, and others did not look up to him.
There were some grievances in my heart, but little Jordan still nodded obediently, no way, if you want data, you have to eat cakes, Paul doesn't pass the ball, he is likely to turn back and run on the field... Diaphragm
Coach De Nagro didn't say much, and manager Gary Sachs has recently discussed the situation with him.
Jordan Jr.'s agent is still seeking a big contract of 4 years and 80 million US dollars, but the two sides have not been able to reach an agreement.
Griffin's agent also seems to have moved, but this one is more low-key, did not reveal any information to the media, and just said hello to the team.
All kinds of circumstances show that this offseason, the Clippers may be disintegrating, and coach De Nagro will not interfere in the operation of the team, but Jordan Jr. wants to take 20 million, and he also feels that this is unreliable.
"Stay focused, win the game and we'll have a good rest!"
"Blake was able to get out of his hospital bed, and tonight's victory was a gift to him."
The apparent brothers were also in the locker room, winning tonight, and there would be a Western Conference championship award ceremony, and Griffin didn't want the fans to forget about him, so he flew to Oakland. Diaphragm
Li Ze's words made the atmosphere group feel good, and everyone came out to send blessings to Griffin, and they began to think about the finals.
"Kyrie Irving has an injury situation and it looks like we're going to be able to beat our opponents comfortably this year."
"Even with a full lineup, LeBron James is no match for Kayce."
"If Blake hadn't been injured, I'm sure we'd have swept them easily in the finals!"
"Haha, now we have a chance to sweep our opponents!"
Griffin was giggling with everyone on the surface, but his heart was a little sour, without him, the team didn't seem to be affected too much, and still won easily:
"Obviously, I got to the Clippers first..."
The Clippers took the lead in changing the alignment in the second half, with Li Ze keeping an eye on Curry and Paul following Kerry.
The sudden change of defense disrupted the rhythm of the Warriors again, and Curry did not force the offense, but frequently gave the ball to his teammates.
There were no low-level mistakes, and the two teams turned on the attack mode again.
βdefenseοΌ defenseοΌ defenseοΌ β
Yoshidala had just broken through to score two points, and in addition to cheers in the Oracle Arena, the cheers of the defense also resounded in the arena.
Li Ze asked for the ball with his back at the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and as soon as he received Paul's pass, Curry followed the help defense.
The Warriors' defense rotated one time, Kelai let go of Tucker on the left foot, Paul who helped defend the line, and Yin Gedala and Curry, who were holding Li Ze, both opened their hands and did not give Li Ze a chance to pass the ball easily. Diaphragm
γ
After receiving the ball, he released the ball with the momentum, dribbled horizontally to pull the defense, and then Li Ze jumped up and passed the ball and threw the ball directly to the bottom left corner.
Although the ball was passed a little high, Tucker jumped up and still managed to catch the ball, Green under the basket immediately pounced, Tucker didn't make too many adjustments, and threw the ball after landing!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
Tucker patted his chest excitedly, he was in excellent shape tonight, and he had a good grasp of the vacancy.
Li Ze, who retreated, also smiled and clapped his hands, role players can always be icing on the cake, but this is enough for him, it is the job of the core players.
The Warriors' bag defense also gave Paul more opportunities, and after the iron, Paul was in excellent shape, and he ran to the basket to win.
The fiery atmosphere in the Oracle Arena began to cool again, and when Li Ze used Jordan Jr.'s cover to hit a strong shot on the right wing outside the three-point line, the boos were gone, and the Warriors fans had already conceded defeat... Diaphragm
After Steve Kerr saw that the veteran Barnes also hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, he reluctantly asked for a timeout, Curry didn't shoot, and the team was about to collapse.
Curry, who returned to the bench, was a little dazed, he was chased by Li Ze to run everywhere, and through his pulling, his teammates also got a chance.
But what he didn't expect was that the morale of the team and the enthusiasm of the fans slowly faded...
Steve Kerr didn't blame Curry, for the fans, at the moment, everyone doesn't care about winning or losing the game, they want to see Curry respond.
In this kind of game, the star of the house has to stand up, even if it is an unreasonable iron, but also show the desire to win.
The Clippers belong to the downwind stage, and the Warriors who play against the wind need someone to step up and score tough points to boost morale, and the new Curry doesn't understand this, he has to speak with performance.
"Andrew, pay attention to the quality of the cover when you come on the field! Stephen, throw the ball in the basket! Here's what you have to do! "Ahh
Steve Kerr didn't say much, just replaced Curry with Bogut to improve the quality of maintenance and let Curry shoot.
Curry, who realized that he had made a mistake, let out a sigh of relief and finally nodded silently, this is his team!
Curry, who was in average form, slowly lost the suspense of the game, but as the number of shots increased, cheers appeared in the Oracle Arena.
If you can't win, then enjoy the superstar performance, and what about the iron, the fans still love to watch.
At 87:69, at the end of the third quarter, the difference had reached 18 points, and the game completely lost its suspense.
Li Ze returned to his seat, rehydrated, and then waited peacefully for the game to end, and this year, they received the award away from home.
"I want to use my prize money to buy a good horse, and in the future, I want to have my own horse farm." Diaphragm
Jokic has been calculating how much money he can get for the past two days, and after spending most of his time in the team for more than half a year, his spoken language has improved a lot, and at this time, he began to share his hobbies again.
Li Ze glanced at Jokic's current body shape, although he lost a lot of weight, but his abdominal muscles or something, definitely not, and finally patted the white fat man on the shoulder:
"You have to buy a good horse, pay attention to the size!"
Jokic didn't react at first, but after a while, he realized that Li Ze was saying he was too fat.
Glancing at the figure of the atmosphere group, the white fat man was a little worried, except for Tucker, who looked like a pier, everyone else didn't look fat....
On the ESPN commentary seat, Jeff Van Gundy noticed that the staff on the scene were beginning to prepare for the award ceremony, and suddenly said:
"Three divisional championships in three years, if the Clippers win the finals again this year, three championships in three years, a great achievement!" Diaphragm
Mark Jackson also stopped talking about the game, seemed to think of the trade back then, and asked with a smile:
"If Chris Paul had been traded to the Lakers and teamed up with Kobe, would he still be able to achieve what he is now?"
Commentator Mike Brin didn't want to lead the battle at this time, and Comy's combat effectiveness was still strong, so he diverted the topic and said:
"Back then, the Clippers chose Stud Future, and so far it has been successful!"
"The Warriors' championship window is still not closed, Curry's contract will allow them to strengthen it in their stride, and I believe they will eventually win the championship."
Mark Jackson understands the inside story, and when he thinks of Curry's ankle situation that year, he also sighs:
"Incredible Curry, the Warriors have to take advantage of the dividends that come with Curry's contract, and this is a great opportunity for them." Diaphragm
Curry sat on the bench with a towel draped on, and in a moment he would see the Clippers claim the division title on their home court.
8-of-18, 3-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-8 from the free-throw line, 25 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.
Seeing his statistics, Curry sighed in his heart, he did have a distance from Li Ze.
He was 10-of-18, 6-of-10 from beyond the three-point line, 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, and finished with 33 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover.
Li Ze's data has long been known in his heart, and he can clearly feel that as long as he makes a move, Li Ze will respond in the next round, shrimp pig heart...
The big-mouthed Green didn't make a sound, Kelai crossed his arms, watching the players on the court come and go, and there was not much expression on his face.
67 wins, I thought this was their season, but they were swept out, and everyone in the Warriors naturally felt uncomfortable. Diaphragm
The fourth quarter of the game ended quickly, and another burst of boos broke out in the Oracle Arena, and finally, 114-101, the Clippers defeated the Warriors again, with a big score of 4-0, and entered the Finals again.
On the bench of the Clippers, the atmosphere group cheered, and Li Ze walked to the center of the court and shook hands with everyone on the Warriors by the way.
Of course, Li Ze will not deliberately comfort Curry and Kelai, everyone has a good relationship, and at this time, they just need a simple hug and get together again in the offseason.
Draymond Green still couldn't get praise from Li Ze in the end, and wanted to blow up with the MVP business, and the identity of a role player was not qualified...
Seeing Li Ze shaking hands with everyone on the Warriors team with a smile on his face, Green had a lemon in his heart, and secretly cursed the Clippers in his heart to disintegrate immediately...
Warriors fans didn't leave Oracle Arena either, watching the Clippers put on gray division championship t-shirts and erupt in boos.
Three divisional championship trophies in three years, Steve Ballmer naturally rejoiced, the old man changed his clothes early, stood in the center of the court, led the Clippers management, and clapped excitedly. Diaphragm
There is only a small podium in the center of the field, on which is the golden ball row trophy of the division champion.
Despite the bad atmosphere of receiving the award away, the Clippers didn't care at all, and when the host asked Li Ze about the championship, the scene once again sounded some MVP calls.
"73 wins, all playoff wins, and finally a championship, that's our goal!"
Hearing Li Ze's words, Paul and Griffin also laughed and applauded, and the Clippers atmosphere group cheered again.
Steve Ballmer's continuous punches made the Warriors fans boo, and Curry, who had not left the court, looked at the radiant Li Ze in front of him and once again showed envious eyes:
"Next season, I won't lose again..."
... Diaphragm
The Clippers achieved their milestone goal and won the three-division championship trophy, which is just a small achievement for a team aiming to defend the title.
The Finals will begin on June 4, with the Clippers getting nearly 10 days off.
On the morning of the 26th, the team flew back to Los Angeles, and the coaching staff announced a two-day holiday, and for the next week, they will maintain the intensity of training and adjust their physical condition.
With the Cavaliers already leading the Hawks 3-0, most commentators believe that the Cavaliers will sweep their opponents and advance to the Finals tonight.
In this case, everyone started talking about LeBron James vs Li Ze.
The Cavaliers' performance that night did not disappoint everyone, and the Cavaliers won the game at 42:59 at halftime.
In the end, 88:118, the Hawks completely collapsed, and the Cavaliers swept the opponent 4-0 and reached the finals. Diaphragm
Cleveland fans are boiling, LeBron James is their superhero!
Playing 29 minutes, 10-of-20, James easily cut down 29 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover.
led the Cavaliers to the division championship again, and at the final award ceremony, LeBron James also looked very excited.
Hearing the MVP call in the Quick Loan Center arena again, LeBron James almost burst into tears of emotion.
Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are also very happy, and the division championship is also a great achievement!
Although some stats were sacrificed for the team, at this moment, everyone felt that it was worth it.
The atmosphere at the scene was very explosive, and the Cavaliers fans celebrated wildly until the host asked a question: Lang
"LeBron, congratulations again on reaching the finals, Kayce is also your old rival, how do you feel about this encounter?"
LeBron James's excitement disappeared in an instant, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he looked very confident:
"I've become more mature, I have a deeper understanding of the game, and I'm ready for it!"
"No matter who the opponent is, I'm going to give it my all, I'm fighting for my hometown, and the Cleveland fans are my back!"
Hearing the speech of the Chosen One, the Quick-Loan Center Arena erupted in huge cheers again, and the Cavaliers fans are just like this, the hometown basketball game is high!
LeBron James waved excitedly to the fans again, he hadn't enjoyed such treatment for a long time, but when he thought of the opponent in the Finals, he still cursed in his heart:
"Why do I always meet you in the finals..."
On the morning of the 27th, in the NBA program, the annual poisoned milk session was staged again.
Unlike ESPN, which likes to debate data and discuss historical status, these four prefer to live:
Charles Barkley was poisoning LeBron James, facing the camera and saying loudly:
"LeBron, you've lost four championships, and this year is a game you can't lose."
"Listen, man, if you lose to Kayce again this year, bring that talent to the Clippers in the offseason! Not only will you win the championship, but you'll also be able to dominate the league completely. β
"I'm sure you'll be the best helper for Kayce!"
O'Neill almost laughed, the talent terrier had been played bad by them, kept a good facial expression, and then added: "Phew."
"The Cavaliers are not weak on the inside, and they definitely have a chance to win the game."
"LeBron really can't afford to lose again, but they should think about how to limit the Clippers' backcourt in advance, and Kayce and Paul are in great shape and are undefeated in the playoffs at the moment."
"I hope LeBron can win the game, or the Clippers might be going to break the Lakers' best playoff record."
Host Earnie Johnson seemed to think that LeBron James's joining the Clippers was more topical, and turned the conversation back again:
"I'm sure LeBron will give it his all, but seriously, the Clippers do need a No. 3 spot."
"If LeBron James and Kayce join forces, I'm sure they'll be able to win 10 titles."
Kenny Smith shook his head with a smile on the side: "Ahh
"Come on, guys! Haven't you seen enough of the superteams? β
"Kayce is strong, but why think about joining his team, beating him is what superstars do!"
"Can you imagine Chuck losing the Finals and joining the Bulls the following year with Michael Jordan? God, it's incredible to think about. β
Charles Barkley immediately said dissatisfied:
"Hey! I would never have been on Michael's team, that bastard stole my championship! β
"But times are always changing, aren't they? I'm hoping someone can finish Kayce, this guy is currently four in a row and he's only 25 years old this year! β
"If it were me, I would build a super team and go and beat him and end his reign once and for all." Diaphragm
Host Earney Johnson suddenly interjected at this point:
"The Clippers may also disintegrate, and Shaq should be more aware of this, no team can always be together, but unfortunately, we have never had a source for this!"
O'Neal seemed to recall the scene of the disintegration of the Lakers, and said in a low tone:
"It's true that when you win a championship, you always want more!"

Li Ze reads and studies at Anne's house, and this year he plans to officially graduate from UCLA, and as the only person in his family who has not yet finished his studies, he has been studying hard all year.
At lunch, watching the TNT program seriously begin to analyze how the Clippers will disintegrate, Li Ze touched his chin and suddenly felt that what the other party said was quite reasonable. Diaphragm
The NBA league is a business league in the final analysis, and it can also be considered a small vanity fair.
When the spotlight is on him, the team will naturally be divided, and Ray Allen reminded him that he tried to share the ball this season, but he will not let go of the MVP honor.
Li Ze is not in the mood to mingle with the players and become good friends, many people don't even do the surface brothers now, Carmelo Anthony has soured him several times...
As the strongest golden thigh, Li Ze only gave the players a choice, to become a pendant on his legs, to serve him, if there is a problem, then leave.
Little Jordan also vaguely tested his tone, Li Ze naturally pretended to be clear, why did the cake Feng want more balls?
Gary Sachs will not compromise, the other party has already passed the anger with Li Ze, 80 million US dollars in 4 years, dream about it!
Next season, his salary will not reach 20 million US dollars, money sometimes represents status, and Li Ze will never give in... Diaphragm
When he was munching on a nutritious meal, he heard the phone ringing, and saw that it was Durant on the video call, and Li Ze answered it casually:
"Kayce, Brooks left the team, and the lineup that won the championship that year was mostly missing."
Durant in the Russian city home wore a pink hat, held up his mobile phone, and spoke in a somewhat depressed tone.
Li Ze saw Durant's strange appearance on the phone, and was almost choked directly, and hurriedly took a sip of vegetable juice, and then said:
"Didn't we expect that? The Thunder have been adding rookies, and to be honest, head coach Brooks is not a good fit to coach a rookie team, he is always not strict enough, and Russell is making more mistakes now, which also has something to do with the coach's coaching style. β
Durant has been recovering from injuries this season, but he has also been paying attention to the changes in the team, and what makes him sad is that the Thunder have been changed and have not paid the luxury tax...
Noticing that Li Ze was still eating a nutritious meal on the phone, Durant pouted, and then revealed a grapevine: Lang
"It's time to enjoy life, Kayce! By the way, Kleman told me that Blake's agent is active. β
"CAA has a wide range of connections, this guy must want to leave the Clippers, maybe you won't have an All-Star inside next season, DeAndrew's agent is still shouting outside for a contract extension, everyone knows about it!"
Li Ze also changed his posture and continued with a relaxed expression:
"It's good to get together and disperse, I already knew that Blake wanted to prove himself, and I wasn't the sun, so it didn't make sense that everyone would revolve around me."
Seeing that Durant seemed to be recuperating well, Li Ze asked teasingly:
"Whether you want to continue to join forces with me in the future and play for the Clippers is definitely a good choice!"
Durant naturally saw that Li Ze was not genuinely invited, and immediately grinned: Lang
"Come on, Bro! MVP team-up? I'm not LeBron James, you're a public enemy of the league right now, and I'm going to beat you next season! β
Li Ze also smiled when he heard this, and then the two of them blew each other on the phone in another MVP...
Durant, who hung up the phone, immediately sat on the sofa, and then said to the agent Kleman on the side:
"This guy doesn't care about his teammates at all, we might have to plan ahead and if I can't win a championship with the Thunder, I want to play somewhere else."

Agent Kleman had long wanted Durant to leave the city, and when he heard the request of the big employer, he immediately opened his mouth and promised:
"Kevin, leave this matter to me! No one can say no to MVP! β
Duran nodded, then stopped talking, and thought about it again
"I have the scoring title, the MVP, the championship, you are just temporarily ahead, three championships? I'll start my own dynasty too! β
