466 Bright Future (9600 Words Chapter)

In the finals G2, Tyronn Lue didn't care what the media reporters would say after the game, and used LeBron James intensively from the beginning.

Trailing by 18 points at halftime, the Cavaliers didn't give up and tried to attack.

But on a stage like the finals, attacking alone won't solve the problem.

Kevin Love picked up in the third quarter, coupled with a drop in defensive intensity, shooting 3-of-3 from beyond the three-point line and scoring 11 points in the quarter.

The Cavaliers are finally playing a smooth offense, and Clippers fans at the Intuit Dome arena are enjoying it.

At 32:34, although the Cavaliers played well, they lost by 2 more points in the quarter.

At 78:98, the Clippers had a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter.

G1 was watched by about 18.5 million people in North America, and by G2, the number of spectators was bound to drop, and no one liked to watch a one-sided game.

On ESPN's commentary seat, the three of them chatted about off-topic topics at this time:

"That's why defense wins championships, and if LeBron James wants to win, he has to step up on the defensive end."

"Although James has conceded some possession in recent years, he has never done much on the defensive end, although he is still a player in the first echelon of defense, but it is not enough to meet an opponent like the Clippers."

Jeff Van Gundy thinks James isn't trying hard enough defensively, while Mark Jackson on the side gives a different opinion:

"It's a matter of team thinking, and it's amazing that the Cavaliers were able to make it out of the East, and I don't think they have enough talent."

"The harsher truth is that the Cavaliers' championship window has closed, and 2016 is the closest they've gotten to a championship."

Commentator Mike Brin also discussed two sentences:

"Will LeBron James choose to leave the Cavaliers? Approaching the age of 34, no one can predict the future physical condition. ”

"If they choose to leave, maybe the Lakers next door will be a perfect place to stay, after all, they have accumulated enough talent."

Jeff Van Gundy laughed when he heard the frequent hot topic in the past two days, and then joked:

"Chances are, the Lakers like to recruit twilight superstars, and of course, if they want to compete for a championship, they will have to settle for at least a few more years."

"Kayce's performance is hard to replicate, and the 2016 championship is incredible!"

The more the three chatted, the more crooked they became, and in the fourth quarter of the game, LeBron James had not rested, but in the face of the Clippers' bench lineup, the Cavaliers began to play iron again.

The game played for more than four minutes, and LeBron James was disheartened, especially when he saw that Li Ze had changed into his training uniform and was on the bench, and he broke the big defense for a while.

When the Cavaliers replaced the atmosphere group led by Jose Caldera, the Intuit Dome arena resounded with cheers, and the series score had reached 2:0.

In the end, at 104:128, the Clippers' atmosphere group came on the court and had another hard time, and the crazy Josh Hart shouted happily and high-fived his teammates after the game.

After the game, a large screen above the Intuit Dome arena showed high-level statistics from both teams, with the Clippers taking the lead across the board.

14-of-14, 5-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, 39 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, which are the statistics that Li Ze contributed in 30 minutes.

Jokic was on the sidelines at the time, and he came close to a triple-double tonight.

7 of 11, 18 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 block and 2 turnovers, thanks to the existing assist calculation method, if the first half of the game is played, the white fat man will definitely be able to easily get 2 assists.

Doris Burke had long noticed some Serbian fans in Jokic jerseys in the arena:

"Jokic, congratulations on your win in this game, can you talk about the passionate fans?"

Jokic waved to his two older brothers and fans, who won the championship for many years in a row, and he also has his own fans:

"Thank you to the fans who came to support us and, of course, to the fans who were in front of the TV, I know it's 3 o'clock in the morning in Serbia, but luckily we won, and I hope you like the gift."

Hearing Doris Burke bring up the triple-double stat again, Jokic just laughed and joked:

"The triple-double doesn't matter, we just want to win, and of course, if the triple-double leads to a win, I don't mind playing that in every game."

“.”

At the press conference after the game, Li Ze also gave up the opportunity to interview his teammates, but on the other hand, LeBron James vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction with the team at the press conference:

"I've given everything for the Cavaliers, I got another triple-double tonight, and honestly, I don't know how to win!"

"I don't want to talk about the offseason anymore, at the moment I'm just focused on the Finals, we're going to protect the home field, the series has just begun."

After saying this with a serious expression, LeBron James found that the questions asked by the reporter after him were even more excessive:

"LeBron, at the end of your career, will you join the Clippers for a championship? We all know that the Clippers can eat your max contract. ”

If you can't beat it, join it?

The corners of LeBron James's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt that these reporters in front of him had no respect for him:

“Next question! I only answer questions related to the competition! ”

“.”

At the end of the G2 game, Tyronn Lue felt like he was going to lose his job, and the next morning, on the plane to Cleveland, the assistant coaches all found that the chicken soup master was no longer boiling soup.

Basketball is sometimes a simple game, and after years in the industry, everyone knows the talent and strength of this Cavaliers.

Before the Finals, there were fantasies, and after two games, it was clear to everyone that they really couldn't beat the Clippers.

LeBron James, who watched songs and books when he got on the plane, also did not speak, and in the face of absolute strength, the chicken soup had failed.

Throughout the playoffs, the Clippers scored 120+ points in most games, and the offensive firepower didn't change in the slightest, regardless of who the opponent was.

Lefu watched James beside him keep staring at the first page, and knew that this person was already out of the world.

"Kayce may be planning to leave basketball, and that may be true, and my friends in New York have told me that the Nets are about to change hands."

Jeff Green's words immediately aroused everyone's interest, and Lefu also followed the gossip at this time:

"If I had won so many titles, I would have chosen to leave, I think we will still have a chance to win the championship if we keep going for a few more years!"

This is for James, who is next to him, and although he often takes the blame, Love and James have a good time working together, and he really hopes to win a championship in Cleveland and give back to the Cavaliers fans.

James, who had already pricked up his ears to listen to the gossip, felt that the future was bright, but he did not respond to Lefou's proposal.

For the future, James has a deeper consideration, after all, he is no longer young, and staying in his hometown is not in line with his plan

The Cavaliers have more than two days of rest, and on June 6, the Finals G3 will return to the Quickloan Center Arena, and if they lose, the series will lose suspense.

The Clippers still have a step-by-step video session in the morning and a tactical training session in the afternoon.

In the G2 game, James was 10 of 20, got 29 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 5 turnovers.

"This guy's passing vision is really good, but their defense is the weakest of any opponent they've faced in this year's playoffs."

"As long as the backcourt doesn't change, G3 we will win!"

Most of the footage cut by the videographer is James' offensive round, the rest of the Cavaliers are waiting for a pie, and the coaching staff hopes that Paul George will strengthen his defense in the next game.

Li Ze touched his chin, he didn't pay attention to the Cavaliers' attack.

From the perspective of big data, the opponent let go, and it is very difficult to score 110 points under high-pressure defense.

"You can put James's mid-range again, and after two games, it should be a bit back!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, everyone discussed again, and finally Coach De Nagro briefly concluded:

"Protect the rebounding ball, the next game, the opponent will definitely increase the three-point shooting, all we have to do is win the game in one go!"

“.”

In two consecutive games, Li Ze hit a 100% shooting rate, and the NBA league also knew that the ratings of the finals were declining, so it was natural to go crazy at this time.

"The god of basketball is dominating the game! #GOAT#快船国度 (goat.jpg) (crown .jpg)"

Ratings are declining, but streaming channels have exploded this year, and the number of broadcasts of Li Ze's offensive highlights has been rising.

A lot of fans don't like to sit in front of the TV all the time to watch the game, and in recent years the NBA league has increased advertising time, which makes the game stinky and long a lot of the time.

A stage like the finals is naturally inseparable from advertising, so a large number of cloud fans choose to watch the highlights, and after watching Excel, they follow the trend on social media.

Some ball critics are no exception, and the reason why LeBron James hasn't been blamed too much after losing is also thanks to Excel.

The number of viewers of the G2 finals dropped to 18 million, and Amlieka's sports media threw the pot on James again, and everyone agreed that it was the strength of the Cavaliers that led to this result.

On the morning of June 5, the Clippers set off for Cleveland and back to Los Angeles, perhaps the series was over.

Cavaliers fans have been actively responding to the team's call in order to help the home team cheer for the past two days, and G3 tickets have been sold out early.

"The finals also start with an away win!"

After being ridiculed on social media, Cavaliers fans are still adamant that they still have a chance.

After the Cavaliers' training session in the afternoon, LeBron James did not give an interview, did not make pre-game rhetoric, and had already expected the trend of the game.

On the night of the 6th, Cavaliers fans came to the Quickloan Center arena early, and everyone wore white cheering T-shirts in an effort to make some noise in an attempt to make the Clippers players feel uncomfortable.

In the players' tunnel, the budding Josh Hart probed his brain, and seemed very interested in the atmosphere of the live noise:

"Is that the atmosphere on the road at the finals? It doesn't feel like our home stadium and it's not as loud. ”

David West feels that sooner or later this budding newcomer will have to suffer a big loss because of this mouth, and when the atmosphere group swells like this, he really enters the rotation, and there is a high probability that he will have to go to heaven:

"Don't underestimate your opponents, once you play, give your all! Also, don't provoke the crowd away from home, I don't want to be splashed with a drink when I leave the stadium. ”

The veteran's words still worked, Josh Hart restrained his curiosity, while the rest of the Clippers were surprised, and everyone was a Finals veteran.

For Li Ze, who has won the championship for many years in a row, the finals can no longer make him feel fluctuating, and he is about to appear, just clapping his hands with a calm expression:

"Protect the rebounds, we're going to end the series tonight!"

The Clippers formed in a circle, shouted to boost morale, and trotted out of the tunnel of players.

The DJ worked hard to arouse the emotions of the fans, and in conjunction with the light show of the home team, the sound in the stadium of the Quick Loan Center became louder and louder.

When LeBron James played, the Cavaliers fans erupted in the biggest cheers, and the Chosen One is still their hero!

James also tried to mobilize his enthusiasm, and after the singing session, he yelled:

“Let's go!”

Tear off your training clothes and get ready for the final warm-up

After the lights came on, on the ESPN commentary box, Mike Brin was introducing the starting lineups of both sides, and as soon as the words fell, Jeff Van Gundy pushed down his glasses and said in a firm tone:

"The Cavaliers haven't made any adjustments, and if they can't get into the groove quickly after opening tonight, then the series will be over completely."

Mark Jackson also nodded in agreement, and simply added:

"We can look at the Cavaliers' alignment adjustments after the opening, JR Smith is really not suitable for defending Kayce, and I hope LeBron James can take over the defensive duties."

After the game officially started, the sound on the scene became louder and louder, but there was no expected matchup, and JR-Smith still defended Li Ze.

The Cavaliers had a very good start to the game, with Love hitting a three-point shot from the right corner and JR-Smith scoring a three-pointer on the left wing.

2:6, a good feel that cheered up the Cavaliers.

Sending out the baseline ball, Li Ze did not advance quickly after receiving the ball, although the game had just begun, he had already roughly figured out the defensive routine of the Cavaliers.

After halftime, before approaching the left wing, JR Smith tried to step forward to defend, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his shoulders, while Jokic, who was fake covering, also followed.

Tristan Thompson couldn't grasp the timing of the bag at this time, Jokic was not fast, and Li Ze did not accelerate at full strength.

The two seemed to be watching the defense at the same time, and JR-Smith didn't dare to cut the ball easily, which made Li Ze easily come to the left blocking area.

Getting closer to the basket, Tristan Thompson couldn't hold on and immediately chose to step forward to help defend the bag.

Before the pinch attack was about to be formed, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, slowed down slightly, and with a flick of his wrist during the process, the ball passed through the crack.

A simple ground-hitting pass broke through the defense at once, and Lefou, who was marking Harris in the bottom corner on the right side, immediately contracted, but it was still a step too late, and Jokic, who received the ball, did not make any extra moves, and threw it in the paint area.

"Huh!" The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.

After the opening period, the Clippers scored consecutive points in the same way, and both packages were useless.

Once again, it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, and LeBron James was still looking for his teammates first.

Switching defenses when encountering cover, Paul George's pursuit was half a beat slower, and in the face of Jokic's sinking defense, James, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly turned around as he marched.

Instantly came to the bottom right of the basket, James just wanted to complete the pick, but found that he did not get rid of Jokic, and raised the arc under interference, and the ball knocked out of the frame.

For this offensive style, the Clippers have been prepared for a long time, Harris retracted the basket, grabbed in front of Love, and protected the rebound in the backcourt.

“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”

The Cavaliers fans at the scene felt a little pity, and then shouted after the DJ.

Li Ze did not ask for the ball, but made a tactical gesture, Harris advanced with the ball, came to the right wing, and once again played a high block with Jokic.

Love followed the same defensive strategy, Harris accelerated with the ball in his right hand, noticed that Love was not out of position, jumped up and passed the ball in the middle of the line, and gave the ball to Jokic in a slow down.

Tristan Thompson defended very successfully this time, anticipating the Clippers' movement and not having too good chances, and Jokic once again returned the ball to Paul George at the top of the arc.

At this point, the Cavaliers' two big men were pulled to the basket, and left wing Jaylen Brown quickly made a no-ball cover for Li Ze, who started in the left bottom corner.

Paul George sent in a cross pass, Li Ze received the ball on the left flank, and the defender in front of him became George Hill.

At this point, the Clippers moved again, and everyone cleared one side.

As soon as LeBron James turned his head, he saw JR Smith following Jaylen Brown to the bottom line, and he cursed in his heart, and the defense he explained before the game was left behind

George Hill lowered his body's center of gravity, he didn't dare to get too close at this time, and once he lost his defensive position, he was crushed by Li Ze to break through.

Maintaining the action of three threats, Li Ze lowered his body center of gravity slightly, stepped forward to the left with his right foot and quickly closed his foot, and without waiting for George Hill to make defensive moves, he suddenly rose from outside the three-point line and threw it directly.

George Hill, who was in place, subconsciously opened his mouth wide, turned his head to see that the ball was hollow into the net

"Shh

Boos erupted in the Quickloan Center's arena, and the Clippers overtook the score.

Seeing Li Ze retreat with a smile, Jeff Van Gundy on the commentary bench couldn't help but complain about the Cavaliers' defense:

"It's definitely a terrible defensive choice, and JR Smith should be resolute in this round, rather than switching defenses immediately when he encounters cover."

"The devil is in the details, and the Cavaliers didn't come up with a Finals-level defense."

Mark Jackson noticed that Tristan Thompson failed to complete the finish, sighed secretly in his heart, and followed up with two complaints:

"That's the difference between Thompson and Jokic, who should move the ball to Lefu on the perimeter in the face of the Clippers' sudden defense."

"Maybe I'm too demanding of the players, and the Cavaliers' coordination is a bit stiff."

Tyronn Lue reminded loudly from the sidelines that the Clippers were playing the same tactics as they did last time.

As a result, Jaylen Brown, who came to the right foot after covering without the ball this time, was unguarded, and opened his hand after receiving Li Ze's pass!

JR Smith and George Hill were a little numb for a while, and the single defense was not good, and the bag clamp was useless:

"How can this be prevented?!"

After giving three assists in the opening game, Li Ze, who retreated, clapped his hands and once again reminded his teammates to pay attention to rebounding.

Got a huge shot space near the free throw line, and after LeBla's high block, LeBron James suddenly stopped at the right elbow area and made a jumper!

"Bang!"

The ball slammed out of the basket again, and Jokic, who had retreated from defense, stuck Tristan Thompson, grabbed the rebound, and threw the ball to the frontcourt.

JR-Smith, who quickly retreated, chased Li Ze's side for the first time, approached the left wing, and constantly cut the ball on the right side to interfere.

At the same time, everyone in the Cavaliers also quickly retreated, and Li Ze aimed at the situation on the court, and suddenly slowed down on the three-point line.

JR-Smith hurriedly adjusted his defensive position and allowed himself to guard in front of Li Ze.

Noticing that Jokic ran to Li Ze's side after half time, JR-Smith subconsciously moved a small step forward.

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly went in and out a little at this time, and while his body was shaking to the right, he quickly completed the change of direction under his crotch.

Subconsciously sliding to the left, when JR-Smith realized that something was wrong, Li Ze had already switched to his left hand, dribbled and then quickly retreated sideways, and then the three-point shot that drifted to the left quickly jumped and shot!

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

At 13:6, on the Clippers bench, Eric Gordon danced the towel excitedly, and the atmosphere group also shouted.

Tyronn Lue, who was on the sidelines, immediately asked for a timeout, and the Quickloan Center arena was silent at this time, and painful memories resurfaced, and some Cavaliers fans had begun to cover their faces.

Commentator Mike Brin watched LeBron James walk to the bench with a blank face, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Once you're behind, the pressure on the role players on both sides will be completely different."

"On the Clippers' side, everyone is confident in shooting and touching the ball confidently, while everyone in the Cavaliers is facing a life-and-death battle."

Jeff Van Gundy didn't hold back at this time and told the truth:

"LeBron James should take more responsibility on both ends of the floor instead of expecting better performance from role players."

It seems that he heard the suggestion from the commentator's bench, and after the timeout, James broke through the basket after blocking and dismantling, and scored two points against Jokic's defense.

The Clippers also suddenly picked up speed at this time, and Li Ze advanced quickly, and immediately gave the ball to Jokic at the top of the arc after halftime.

The inside line of the Cavaliers was completely empty, and after handing the ball, Li Ze pretended to hand it over, and after shaking his body to the right, he suddenly accelerated and ran back.

The quick off-ball cut made Li Ze instantly shake off JR-Smith, Jokic sent a smashing pass, and when he approached the paint area, Li Ze, who received the pass, immediately rose into the air.

After taking advantage of the situation, Li Ze stretched his body, and the big windmill burst into action!

Such a simple cooperation pierced the Cavaliers' defense at once, and Tyronn Lue on the sidelines watched the Clippers retreat and stopped shouting

The Clippers have a combination of speed and slowness, always finding easy scoring opportunities, and every player looks very confident on the offensive end.

Paul George missed a three-pointer and continued to throw in the next round when the transition offense appeared.

Watching the three-pointer score again, LeBron James was a little anxious, and he really didn't want to fall behind too much in the first quarter.

subconsciously increased the offensive speed of the Cavaliers, but when encountering the defense of the Clippers, several offensive patient transmissions failed to appear absolute open opportunities.

The speed of scoring became slower and slower, and by the end of the first quarter, there was no unified cheering in the arena of the Quick Loan Center.

The Cavaliers did not rotate personnel at this time, and in a life-and-death battle, Coach Tyronn Lue insisted on the strongest tactics!

On the Clippers' side, Gordon has come off the bench, and Li Ze, who has been directing traffic on the court for several minutes in a row, suddenly increased his speed this time.

Jokic's fake cover caused Tristan Thompson to be delayed to the three-point line, and with the two of them combined, Li Ze, who held the ball in his left hand, was in and out by a wide margin.

Shaking right and left, Li Ze first leaned away from JR-Smith on his side, and then accelerated with his shoulders heavy, stopped suddenly, and instantly led half a body.

Tristan Thompson, who was desperately sliding to the right back, felt like he was about to lose his defensive position, and subconsciously pulled in the paint area.

Li Ze, who was on the move, reacted faster, quickly turned around, completely shook off the defense, came to the bottom right of the basket and suddenly burst out, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and smashed the buckle with his arm!

"Boom!" Break through the explosion dunk!

"Shhhhh

Seeing Li Ze, who was hanging on the frame with one hand, landed in a dashing manner, the Cavaliers fans who broke the big defense broke out into the biggest boos since the start of the game.

Tristan Thompson's head is big, and he not only has to guard against pick-and-roll, but also has to pay attention to protecting the basket.

What made him feel even more helpless was that Li Ze's speed was too fast, his stride was large, and the defense couldn't keep up with it, so he could only foul later.

In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter of the game, Li Ze suddenly broke out again, hit the basket for several rounds in a row, broke through the ball several times, and let the Clippers score quickly.

Lefu hit the iron on the left wing outside the three-point line, and Li Ze, who got a long rebound, rushed through.

JR-Smith was forced to foul and sent Li Ze to the free throw line.

Coach De Nagro took advantage of the free throws to replace Jokic with Looney, and the white fat man only had one foul in the first quarter of the game and had completed the task.

Li Ze hit both free throws, and the boos in the gymnasium of the Quick Loan Center started again, and the Cavaliers fans completely broke the defense at this time.

At the end of the first quarter, there was only some noise left on the scene, a blind and visible gap!

At 36:26, the Clippers' offense was as good as ever, and it wasn't affected on the road.

Mark Jackson rarely spoke out in the second half of the first quarter of the game, and finally couldn't hold back during the break:

"If the Cavaliers continue to maintain this defensive intensity, then there will be no suspense in the game."

'In some of the cover changes, they didn't improve anything.

Jeff Van Gundy felt that the overall situation was decided, and at this time he teased his old partner:

"If you're the head coach of the Cavaliers, how do you adjust at this point?"

“.”

Mark Jackson can't answer because that's what the Cavaliers' defensive resources are.

5 of 5 in a single quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, although Li Ze fished in the middle, he still got 16 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

The noise in the arena of the Quick Loan Center is getting louder and louder, and a large part of the reason why Cavaliers fans are desperate is that Li Ze scored too easily.

Lost 10 points before exerting strength, if this is released, the game will probably be cold.

Unlike Li Ze, LeBron James continued to play.

G3 lost, there was only a little more than a day of rest, and the day after tomorrow ushered in G4, which means that the Cavaliers have no time to adjust.

In this case, in order not to leave regrets, LeBron James naturally wants to play the whole game.

On the offensive end, James no longer thought about passing, and Looney also felt a little struggling, and it was difficult for him to protect the basket in the face of such an impact.

The score began to rise until Rogdon stepped past James from beyond the three-point line and broke inside for a backhand dunk that Tyronn Lue called a timeout.

"Ahh

Brogdon, who won the dunk, stood in front of James and pounded his chest and roared, and the Chosen One pulled his face and walked to the bench.

At 51:39, after playing most of the quarter, the point difference was widened, and the boos sent by the Cavaliers fans also seemed to contain dissatisfaction with the home team's performance

Li Ze, who was wearing a training uniform, greeted his teammates with a smile and punched each other, everyone's performance was very good, and the players could indeed play better without pressure.

Jaylen Brown couldn't believe the game was going so well, sat back on the bench, and immediately shouted:

"We're going to win! God, it's unbelievable that the other side hasn't made too many adjustments! ”

In the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers did not win easily, mainly because the opponent always adjusted their defensive strategy, and the role players had to keep up with the rhythm of Li Ze.

And in the finals G3, the situation is not much different from the first two games, the only thing to pay attention to is rebounding.

"There are more than two quarters to go, be patient and remember that we are the leading side!"

After the pause, while his teammates came on the stage, Li Ze whispered a few words, and Gordon patted his chest to show that he understood.

While the Cavaliers were guarding his three-pointers, Gordon added a breakaway tonight and the rotation phase worked well.

The Cavaliers' role players still struggled to score, and Jeff Green and Korver were quickly substituted after both had no touch.

In less than half a quarter, the Cavaliers had regained their main lineup, and Li Ze still rotated step by step, and only rotated when there were 4 minutes and 12 seconds left in the second quarter.

"Kayce still won't play much tonight, and the Clippers' rotation is doing really well."

"Siakam did a good job of helping defending, causing James to miss two breakaways."

Mark Jackson just thinks the Clippers are also full of talent on the bench

Commentator Mike Brin subconsciously raised his voice when he saw Li Ze's ultra-long three-point return:

"Incredible goal! Kayce is in hot condition! ”

After defending to 24 seconds and losing 3 points, a frustrated LeBron James slammed the ball hard, took a deep breath, and readjusted his emotions.

At the end of the first half, it was Lefu who stepped up to help the team, and hit two strong shots from outside the three-point line, which barely bit the score.

At 68:54, it seemed like there was no difference from the previous two games, and before you knew it, the Clippers had another 14-point lead.

Frustrated, angry, helpless.

LeBron James, who was walking quickly to the players' tunnel, had mixed feelings in his mind, and the obvious gap made him realize that he was really going to be swept.

The Cavaliers fans were still cheering for the players, and they didn't want to accept such a result until the last minute.

There was no room for adjustment, and by the third quarter, Harris and Paul George had completely found their touch.

Not only did they fire from outside the three-point line, but they also played offenses that cut in without the ball.

Li Zeqiang, the right wing, burst into the basket, compressed the Cavaliers' defense, kept the ball between the moves, and completed the back pass with his right hand.

Paul George, who followed up, shook off James, received the ball and rushed straight to the basket, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and dunked it with one arm!

Tristan Thompson helplessly crossed his waist and stood under the basket to look at James, this round, he really couldn't defend it.

"Excuse me, Bro! Maybe we'll be here the night after tomorrow to claim our prize. ”

Paul George, who completed the dunk, was very proud, chewing gum while laughing and provoking LeBron James.

In addition to the explosion in Game 1, James's shooting percentage returned to normal, scoring 14 points on 7-of-15 shooting in the half, and tried to shoot from the outside in the third quarter, but the result was another iron.

James, who broke the big defense, was in no mood to deal with Paul George, he had to speed up the pace of the game, and it was too late to attack with one board and one eye.

In the minutes that followed, Cavaliers fans continued to scream and pound from beyond the three-point line.

Without frontcourt rebounds, the Clippers played an easy transition offense, and after Li Ze scored easily on two fast breaks, Tyronn Lue called a timeout again.

"There are no miracles, lose this game and the series is over!"

"Kayce won't waste such a great opportunity, and unfortunately, the Cleveland curse continues."

Jeff Van Gundy simply concluded the series at this time, and Mike Brin also felt that the Cavaliers had no hope of turning the tables around at this time:

"Defense wins championships, and the Clippers show their dominance again!"

According to the usual practice, Li Ze played the third quarter, and the Quick Loan Center Arena was completely silent at this time.

Looking at the score on the big screen above the stadium, many fans chose to take off their cheering T-shirts.

At 100:80, the game was out of suspense.

Powell took Josh Hart's shooting bag tonight, and in the fourth quarter, he dared to fight, shoot inside and outside, and continue to cut points.

LeBron James played more than 4 minutes and had no choice but to leave the game.

Seeing that Connaughton and George Niang also hit three-pointers after the Clippers came on the court, James cursed in his heart again:

"Shet! Why everyone on the Clippers can hit long shots."

+3 a few times, which completely collapsed the Cavaliers' defense, and the atmosphere group on the stage also collapsed.

The fans in the back row began to leave the stadium, and in the stadium of the Quick Loan Center, only some die-hard fans were still holding on.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 130:108, and the Clippers were not challenged in any way, easily rewriting the score to 3:0.

"Shh

Booed to express dissatisfaction, Cavaliers fans still can't accept such a result.

Li Ze, who did not appear again in the 4th quarter, walked to the player tunnel with his teammates at this time.

The victory came too easily, and no one showed much excitement.

And LeBron James did not give an interview after the game, and walked quickly to the locker room with a blank face.

The press conference that Amika Sports Media was expecting also failed to see the Chosen One, and the official rhetoric from the Cavaliers was back tension

In the studio behind TNT, the director is comparing Li Ze's data with James' data:

14-of-14, 6-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-8 from the free-throw line, 42 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal;

He was 11-of-24, 1-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-8 from the free-throw line, and finished with 29 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers.
