Chapter 433: It's useless to explode? (8000 word chapters)

In the finals G2, the suspense was lost at halftime, and the Ameika sports media on the scene naturally sprayed the defense of the Cavaliers at halftime.

Reasonable pundits had long expected this to happen in the Finals, with the average age of the Cavaliers being too old and the veterans sure to be in a state of decline.

And for the sports media of the Celestial Empire, such a game is to celebrate the New Year in place!

CCTV Sports Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping at the scene will also neutrally help the Cavaliers come up with ideas, Penguin Sports, everyone began to discuss Li Ze's historical status after winning the 7th championship...

"The only regret of these 7 championships is the strength of the opponent!"

"There is really no decent opponent in the Eastern League, James rules the East, and Li Ze rules the Alliance, there is really no problem with this!"

Yang Yi had already helped Li Ze take out a loan for the 7th championship, and the finals were not over yet, and he had already sold Li Ze's championship T-shirt...

Ke Xiaofan also felt a little regretful, he was half a Warriors fan, and seeing that the Finals were not as difficult as the Western Conference Finals, he also added:

"Mr. Yang is also reasonable, this year we are the same as the prediction of America's peers, whoever can win the Western Conference championship will win the final championship."

"7 consecutive championships! Since there are detailed technical statistics, this achievement has surpassed Michael Jordan, winning the championship this year, the Clippers have also completed five consecutive championships, and won another championship, and there is no suspense in the first place in history! ”

It seemed that it was still a little inappropriate to discuss these things on the spot, so Yang Yi changed the topic with a smile:

"G3 is back in Cleveland, if the Cavaliers lose again, there will definitely be a move in the offseason, the league's No. 1 salary, three consecutive years of failure!"

"No matter how sentimental the owner is, he will not continue to pay, and if LeBron James is no longer competing for the championship, there are actually many teams that are very suitable for him."

“...”

Amika's sports media has also been discussing where LeBron James should play recently, and the second person in the league has his own traffic, and he doesn't lose money just selling tickets.

At the end of his career, if he no longer pursues a championship, then joining a big ball city team is definitely a good choice!

The departure of the chosen son can also give the Cavaliers some young talent, which is a win-win decision!

LeBron James, who has entered playoff mode, doesn't know that the sports media has already applied for a trade for him, and everyone is waiting for the "Decision 3" to be staged in the offseason after losing in the Finals...

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers were unable to mount any counterattacks, the defensive intensity decreased, the scoring continued to rise, but the point difference did not narrow.

Clippers fans have been enjoying the game for a long time at Staples Arena, and this is the last time the home team plays the Finals at Staples Arena, and tonight is a historic moment.

Steve Ballmer, sitting under the basketball hoop, was the happiest, as long as the thought of the new arena was about to be put into use, the old man couldn't wait for the finals to end quickly and directly bring O'Brien back to the new arena.

The showroom is ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is needed, only next season starts, and the Clippers will complete the transformation.

“defense! defense! defense! ”

Amid the defensive cheers of the Clippers fans, LeBron James hit another shot from beyond the three-point line.

Seeing that the Clippers were still accelerating, and launched a conversion attack, the Chosen One simply gave up the pursuit, and after seeing the Clippers continuously pass the ball, Li Ze broke through the right flank and scored a throw...

Tyronn Lue's face on the sidelines was a little ugly, the chicken soup at halftime didn't make any difference, and the team's defense had completely collapsed.

With 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the third quarter, the two sides began to switch the main content, and the game officially entered garbage time.

24:30 in the single quarter, the third quarter is over, 78:103, and the difference is still 25 points...

The Clippers fans at the scene saw Li Ze change into a training uniform again, and they all felt a little regretful in their hearts, the last Finals game of Staples Arena was another three quarters to check in!

"It seems that it is difficult for the Cavaliers to find a touch on the outside tonight, and the three-point shooting rate of about 30% cannot win!"

Mark Jackson glanced at the technical stats and felt that the Cavaliers were completely finished in this series, and even the best three-point shot was gone.

"Don't forget that the Clippers are the best team at three-point shooting, and Kayce has made 485 three-pointers this year, which is a big break from the record he set last year!"

"Look at how the Western Conference Finals Warriors limited Kayce's three-point shot, which the Cavaliers did so poorly!"

Jeff Van Gundy didn't forget to complain about the quality of the Cavaliers' single defense at this time, compared to the Warriors' forward group, this is the same as giving it away for nothing...

LeBron James, who was sitting on the bench, was still expressionless.

Perhaps it was years of defeat that had completely numbed the Chosen One, and James didn't even have too many mood swings after tonight's loss.

On the contrary, Irving was very frustrated, and reaching the Finals for the third time in his career would have been a joyful event, but a big loss ruined everything.

As for Kevin Love, who was sitting in his seat, he was out of the world at this time, and he had done his best in tonight's game!

Tyronn Lue watched the Clippers' atmosphere continue to punch hard, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, this is running for 130 points again...

In the fourth quarter, the referee rarely blew the whistle, and everyone wanted to end the game as soon as possible.

In the cheers of the Clippers fans, the final score was fixed at 106:131, and the Clippers who were playing at home defeated the Cavaliers again, and the series score came to 2:0!

LeBron James turned around and left the game as soon as the game ended, losing by another 25 points tonight, which is a result that is really unacceptable.

When interviewing Li Ze, the reporter of ESPN also began to revisit the old story:

"Kayce, another 25-point win over the opponent, does that mean the Clippers will sweep the opponent and win the championship?"

"Led the team to two playoff 16-0 losses, which is an absolutely amazing achievement!"

Li Ze didn't expect Amerika's sports media to be so casual about the loan championship now, and finally replied modestly:

"Luck is part of the strength, and the Clippers had good luck in these two games and played the offense we wanted!"

"The next game is Cleveland and we're ready!"

ESPN's reporter looked strange, if it was really by luck, Li Ze would most likely be possessed by God, and the blind chicken could score a goal.

However, Li Ze's answer made Amika's sports media very satisfied, no matter what, LeBron James is his own person, even if he loses, he should lose decently...

Received the affirmation and encouragement of the GOAT, and became an opponent for many years, which also shows that the Chosen One has a high level!

...

On the morning of June 5th, the Cavaliers have already left for home, and two days later, they will face the G3 game at home.

Americaka's ball critics were a little dissatisfied at this time, LeBron James did not attend last night's press conference, and the official reason given by the Cavaliers was that he had a tight back and needed to recuperate after the game.

Everyone knows in their hearts that LeBron James is likely to have an emotional breakdown, and the pressure of consecutive losses is unbearable for many players.

ESPN's show rarely criticizes LeBron James, but this year's two consecutive big losses are really indescribable:

"10-of-18, including 1-of-3 three-pointers, 4-of-5 free throws, 25 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers, LeBron James looks like he has no desire to win!"

"This is your team, the Cavaliers have built the right offensive system for you!"

"But I didn't activate the role players in two games in a row, and I didn't score too many points, so this kind of performance in the Finals is unacceptable."

Stephen A. Smith is on fire and has entered a state of tearing James...

Max Kellerman, although he agrees with this point of view in his heart, retorts on the surface:

"The playoffs all start with a win on the road, and the Cavaliers still have a chance, as long as they protect the next two home courts, they have a chance to come back and win!"

Stephen A. Smith has always been dismissive of this statement, and finally simply asked a rhetorical question:

"What the Warriors haven't been able to accomplish, I'm not optimistic that the Cavaliers can do, the regular season has been able to tell, how many wins have the Cavaliers?"

Seeing his partner spread his hands and make a helpless expression, Stephen A. Smith restrained his emotions and continued to conclude:

"If they go back home and the Cavaliers' three-point shooting picks up, they do have a chance to pull one back."

"But I'm still not optimistic that they can win the championship, Kayce is so consistent, I don't think he has had a bad moment in the playoffs!"

The director also showed Li Ze's G2 data to fans in a timely manner:

"13-of-18, 6-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, 37 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block."

Max Kellerman also thinks that the Cavaliers are likely to be cold, but the show also gives fans a glimmer of hope:

"Never underestimate a championship-seeking heart, and I'm sure LeBron will respond forcefully when he returns home."

“...”

On Reddit, the Cavaliers section has exploded recently, and fans have come here to recruit LeBron James for their home team.

"Join the Knicks! Good brother Anthony is also in New York, and the two can still continue to chase the championship with the combination of the two. ”

"Why don't you come to the Lakers to play? We could send away a couple of rookies and draft picks! ”

"Hopefully, the arrival of LeBron James will make Luke Wharton officially out of class! Parallel coaches are not welcome in Los Angeles! ”

"Let's go to the Celtics! We lack forward height! ”

"On top of that, we also have a No. 1 pick this year, no talent worries in the future, and it fits LeBron James' requirements perfectly."

Fans, you say a word, leave crazy messages on the forum, Cavaliers fans are completely autistic, the finals haven't started yet, LeBron James is leaving his hometown?

On the morning of June 6, the Clippers set off for Cleveland.

Tomorrow night they will usher in the G3 of the finals, with a big score of 2:0 ahead, and everyone will not be nervous.

After the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland, they didn't give much interview to reporters.

The team's official announcement is to prepare for G3 with all its might, but most sports media don't buy this reason, they have lost two games in a row, what else are they prepared for?

No matter how hard Amerika's sports media is, LeBron James just kept a low profile and didn't give any interviews.

In contrast, Li Ze, who flew to Cleveland, did not have so many scruples, and Amerika's sports media could interview him in the training gym.

However, everyone didn't have the heart to blow each other in business at this time, and the interview with Li Ze didn't break the news, or the chosen one was more topical:

"Where's LeBron James?" It's the nearest traffic hotspot!

The big-mouthed ball critics are also waiting for the results of the G3 game, if the Cavaliers win, everyone can still blow it, if they lose G3, they will have to punch hard after the game, and taunt wildly...

Compared with the finals of previous years, most of the players in the league this year have not spoken out on social media, the players are not ball critics, and those who have played against Li Ze in person know that this round of the series is not very suspenseful.

There are still many players who have simply laid flat, the championship is hopeless, and they have also got a big contract, the championship of life!

On the afternoon of June 7, before the start of G3 in the finals, LeBron James finally accepted an interview with media reporters.

The most asked question is naturally tonight's game, LeBron James has completely restrained his emotions after two days of adjustment:

'We're going to protect the home stadium, it's a game you can't lose, I've lost too many times and I'm going to give it my all tonight!'

When asked where he was going in the offseason, LeBron James almost couldn't hold back, and finally replied rather in a low-key way:

"I haven't thought about the offseason, at the moment I'm focused on tonight's game, my contract with the Cavaliers is not over, time will tell."

LeBron James, who is wearing a training uniform, no longer has the feeling of being high-spirited in the early years, and in the past few years since returning to his hometown, James has become more and more low-key.

In addition to speaking out on some social issues, most of the offseason is spent training or focusing on charity in Akron.

LeBron James' performance naturally regained the trust of Cleveland fans, who believed that the Chosen One could lead the team to break the curse.

Even if he keeps losing, as long as James is still playing in Cleveland, Cavaliers fans will always support him, and everyone likes to see the loyal Chosen One.

When Li Ze came to Cleveland, he soon found that there were fewer and fewer sports media interviewing him.

There are no celebrities present to support this year's finals, and obviously the former waves who were photographed on the beach don't like to see Li Ze become the real first person in history.

Li Ze doesn't mind this situation, as long as the championship is in hand, the influence of the 7 consecutive championships will spread, and this has already achieved his goal.

After the Clippers completed their routine warm-up at the Quickloan Center, Paul George couldn't help but complain about the treatment of the past two days:

"The finals were easy and not our problem, the most boring finals? I don't know what kind of competition these media are looking forward to. ”

I thought that the heat of the finals exploded, but I didn't expect it to cause crazy complaints from everyone, Paul George was a little unhappy, this is the first time in his career that he has reached the finals...

"Of course, everyone expects the two sides to be evenly matched, to play until the last second, and to win in the end."

"But we are a team with 74 wins, the first in the league in basic data, and the visible difference in strength has long known that this is just a script that does not fit the hearts of fans!"

"A champion is a champion, don't worry about other factors!"

Li Ze, who has won 6 championships, is naturally not as impetuous as Paul George, and this situation will be alleviated in the offseason, and then the ball critics will naturally blow it up...

"Win the game early and end the series early, I think it's going to be a good thing for everybody!"

Harris, who doesn't like to make a noise, also added at this time, for this year's vegetable abuse war, Harris feels that he has no sense of accomplishment as last year's champion.

...

The finals G3 still officially kicks off at 21 o'clock in the evening, and when it comes back to the home court, Cleveland fans naturally want to support it.

The atmosphere is getting hotter, and Cavaliers fans are hoping to bring energy to the home team with shouts.

In the Cavaliers' locker room before the game, Tyronn Lue looked serious, looked at the players in front of him, and completely showed his cards:

"We don't have room to adjust, and in such a crucial game, the key players have to step up!"

"LeBron, I hope you can play the full 48 minutes in this game, if you feel tired during the game, give feedback in time, otherwise, I won't replace you!"

“...”

LeBron James nodded silently, he was mentally prepared, this is indeed a game that cannot be lost, there is no need to think about physical fitness at all!

There is no chicken soup, no tactical adjustments, Tyronn Lue just clarified tonight's rotation simply and clearly, trying to use such an attitude to awaken the blood in the hearts of the players...

From the moment the home team's players came out, the Quickloan Center Arena entered a state of rage, and the Cavaliers fans kept shouting.

After Tristan Thompson successfully jumped the ball, LeBron James went into attack mode.

In the first round, James was on the left wing, forced a basket, and scored two points against Paul George's defense.

"Ahh

After completing the goal, LeBron James beat his chest angrily, roared in a low voice, and then beckoned his teammates to quickly retreat, and the fans in the front row were thrilled to see it, and Zhan was about to appear!

The Clippers kicked off the baseline ball, but Li Ze did not accelerate the speed and pressed 8 seconds to pass the half.

At this time, the Clippers had finished their positions, and J.R. Smith stepped forward again to lead the defense.

Li Ze, who came to the left wing, held the ball in his right hand and noticed that the Cavaliers did not choose to wrap the defense, protect the ball with his back, and slowly approached the three-point line.

There was still no bag on the line, Li Ze quickly dribbled behind his back, and after switching to his left hand, he paused slightly, taking advantage of Jr-Smith's sliding step to the right, and immediately changed direction under his crotch.

Holding the ball in his right hand and breaking through, Li Ze's body gravity was low, and Jr-Smith reacted to the stress and slid desperately to the left back.

Just approaching the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, stepped back sharply, shook off a position, immediately closed the ball on the three-point line, faced the defense, and quickly jumped outside the three-point line!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

Jr-Smith seemed very helpless, if he couldn't slide in time, there was a high probability of being crushed and broken;

If you slide too early, you will get a three-point bukkake, and if the defense is not out of position, once you are hit in the blocking position, the middle distance will come...

"Shh

Li Ze's athletic score was booed by the Cavaliers fans at the scene.

Perhaps having learned the lessons of the previous two games, LeBron James stopped passing to his teammates tonight.

After half-time, he asked for the ball again, the right wing received a pass from Irving, Love went up to block and dismantle, and LeBron James walked to the right side with the ball in his right hand to break through.

Facing Harris, who came up with a change of defense, James crushed the defense all the way to the right blocking area, slowed down and played with his back, and approached the paint area after switching to the ball in his left hand.

Noticing that Harris was strictly guarding the line, James immediately turned quickly in the direction of the baseline direction, and at the same time directly closed the ball, turned over and made a jumper!

After scoring 4 points in a row after the opening, LeBron James, who returned to defense, roared passionately again, and the Quick Loan Center Arena was completely boiling.

The Cavaliers tried to speed up the offensive tempo, but Li Ze still dribbled through the half court unhurriedly and observed the Cavaliers' defensive strategy.

This time, Tristan Thompson pounced on the first time, and at the same time, Love, who was marking Harris in the bottom right corner, quickly rotated and followed Jokic near the paint.

Suddenly changed the defensive strategy, the Clippers were prepared, Jokic trotted all the way to the free throw line, and after Li Ze completely attracted the two to the sandwich, he gave the ball to Jokic as soon as possible.

Before Lefu could make a pressing defense, Jokic immediately sent a hit pass, and Harris, who cut without the ball, quickly took off along the baseline after receiving the ball, and dunked it with both hands!

The ball moved too fast, from Li Ze's ball to Jokic's ball, without any pause, the Clippers had already made all kinds of pre-packs.

Li Ze, who retreated, clapped his hands calmly, signaling that this was a good offense, and on the other side, LeBron James also loudly encouraged his teammates to continue to implement such a defensive strategy.

LeBron James, who is in excellent form, kept attacking the basket and tried to cause Jokic's foul, but unfortunately the white fat man didn't reach out at all, and watched James make a strong basket for several rounds in a row.

The Cavaliers, on the other hand, frantically wrapped up Li Ze and let him play the ball quickly, but it was either Harris who cut in without the ball or Paul George who made a strong basket on the line.

LeBron James blew up the ball on the left wing and scored three points with a cold arrow!

The Cavaliers continued to wrap up, and after blocking at the top of the arc, Jokic went down and Tristan Thompson saved too quickly and was cut through the defense by Lee's ground-and-ground pass.

The white fat man put two points under the Lefu basket that came up to help the defense.

At 16:17, the two sides continued to score, which made the Cavaliers fans at the scene scream with excitement.

LeBron James, who just threw a three-pointer in the last round, dribbled across the half court with the ball himself this time, and Paul George was prepared for it, and immediately jumped up to save when James suddenly stopped on the right wing.

Rewarding himself with a three-pointer that he couldn't score, LeBron James immediately stepped back quickly.

The long rebound ball bounced into Li Ze's hand, and the Cavaliers fans at the scene immediately let out an exclamation.

Li Ze continued to accelerate along the right sideline, and after crossing the halfway line, his right hand quickly wrapped the ball behind his back, and Jr-Smith, who was close to the defense, hurriedly slid to the right.

Anticipating the opponent's defensive movements, Li Ze, who had just switched to his left hand, quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch, and accelerated again with the ball in his right hand after an emergency stop.

Instantly lost his defensive position, JR-Smith hurriedly chased the defense on his side, and just came to the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly stopped and pulled back under his crotch.

The range of action is not large, but it is very hidden, in the face of the sudden emergency stop, JR-Smith was completely shaken out of a position, and when he wanted to jump up and pounce, Li Ze had already made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!

"Huh!" Three-pointer again!

At 19:17, the Clippers completed the comeback again.

The game entered the official timeout, and the Quick Loan Center Arena booed for a while, and LeBron James was crazy, but the score fell behind again...

"There are too many people in the Clippers team who can handle the ball, and the package is completely about giving away points, and the opportunities to play more and less are all seized!"

Jeff Van Gundy feels that the Clippers' current roster is simply inexplicable, except for the defensive end of the defensive end of the blocking problem, the offensive end can be inside and outside, not afraid of the bag.

"But the Cavaliers' defensive choice is the right one, and they should continue to use this defensive strategy!"

Mark Jackson feels that Tyronn Lue has finally made the right choice, and he is resolutely over.

Cavaliers fans were expecting the team to continue the heat of the first half of the game, but it was Irving who took the lead.

After the pick-and-roll, the free throw line came out of the box from mid-range, and the rebound was successfully collected by Jokic, and then the ball flew straight to the Cavaliers halfcourt.

As soon as Li Ze grabbed the ball with his left hand, Tristan Thompson immediately chased after him, and his positive defensive attitude immediately made the Cavaliers fans cheer loudly.

At the same time, the Cavaliers were desperately retreating, delaying the defense finally played a role, and LeBron James retreated to halftime and hurriedly commanded his teammates to complete the opposing defense.

There was no chance to switch attacks, and Li Ze began to slow down when he was close to the top of the arc.

Seeing that everyone was already standing, Li Ze suddenly lowered his center of gravity, faced Tristan Thompson's defense, and dribbled the ball in his crotch twice in a row with his left hand.

Li Ze leaned forward while approaching the three-point line with small broken steps, and Tristan Thompson raised his right hand and hurriedly lowered his center of gravity.

Seeing Li Ze suddenly speed up his dribbling, popping twice to dribble under his crotch, and suddenly leaning forward, Tristan Thompson subconsciously moved back, and then noticed that something was wrong.

"Shet!"

With a low scolding, Tristan Thompson struggled to pounce, Li Ze suddenly retreated, and quickly jumped out of three points from a long distance!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

"Shhhh

At 22:17, seeing that the score difference came to 5 points, some sensitive Cavaliers fans exclaimed, and then booed wildly.

Taking advantage of the baseline serve, LeBron James clapped his hands and hurriedly reminded his teammates loudly:

"Hey, wrap it up in time, echo it!"

Paul George just felt that LeBron James was hanging up tonight, and he didn't concede a finish under his defensive basket.

LeBron James crushed the breakthrough again, and the Cavaliers fans at the scene shouted with excitement again.

Jokic sent out a baseline ball, saw Li Ze raise his eyebrows, the two crossed the halfway, and the white fat man suddenly made a high block at the logo position.

The excessively high cover position made Tristan Thompson curse again.

Seeing that J.R. Smith couldn't cover in time and was completely shaken off by Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, Tristan Thompson immediately pounced with a big delay.

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, walked in and out slightly, his body shook slightly, paused slightly, and then quickly changed direction under his crotch.

Tristan Thompson hurriedly pounced on Li Ze's right hand and kept sliding to the three-point line.

Noticing that the opponent's defense was not out of position, Li Ze, who had just crossed the three-point line, vigorously exploded the ball with his right hand, and then stepped sideways.

The huge range of action allowed Li Ze to gain a space for his position, and in the face of Tristan Thompson's pounce, he made a strong shot from outside the three-point line!

"Squeak!"

The ball flew out, and Tristan Thompson, who jumped up, couldn't control his center of gravity and eventually hit Li Ze's right arm.

When he landed, the exclamations of the fans were heard in his ears, and Tristan Thompson exhaled helplessly, he really tried his best...

"It's unbelievable that Kayce can still shoot the ball in the face of such a defense! Incredible shooting feel! ”

Commentator Mike Brin was stunned, the Clippers broke the bag in a fancy way, and showed off the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation in these few rounds, and the Cavaliers' offense was no longer strong, but the defense could not limit the Clippers' scoring.

LeBron James pulled his face, and the passion of the opening game slowly dissipated, and in the face of this unreasonable three-point shot, no one could withstand it...

Li Zejia, who stood on the free throw line, hit the penalty steadily, and the Quick Loan Center Arena was booed again.

At 26:19, Li Ze scored 4 points successfully, and the score difference instantly came to 7 points, Tyronn Lue on the sidelines was a little nervous, why is the score difference getting bigger and bigger?

The excellent offensive form allowed the Cavaliers to keep scoring, but the atmosphere in the arena gradually cooled down, and the gap did not narrow.

By the end of the first quarter, there was a commotion in the arena, and LeBron James pursed his lips and walked quickly to the bench with a serious expression.

At 39:32, the Cavaliers showed excellent offensive form, but they still trailed by 7 points...

"It was a great game, LeBron James showed his determination to win, 7-of-8, 2-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 16 points efficiently!"

Mark Jackson sighed slightly, and he could tell that the Cavaliers had done their best.

Jeff Van Gundy was already desperate for the Cavaliers, and said in a somewhat helpless tone:

"Despite facing a lot of packs, Kayce was in better shape, 8-of-8, 4-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 1-of-1 from the free throw line, and scored 21 points in the quarter!"

Commentator Mike Brin could also feel that the Cavaliers fans seemed to be a little panicked, and the noise was getting louder and louder, and finally added helplessly:

"As long as LeBron James continues this form, I believe the Cavaliers will be able to keep their home court!"

Li Zehan on the bench didn't come out, sitting in his seat and taking a small sip of water, everyone in the atmosphere group looked stupid, this is still a person?

Perceiving everyone's gaze, Li Ze said calmly:

"I didn't reluctantly attack, most of them were converted points, and I used at least two overtimes in a game of this intensity!"

“...”
