June 9, 2015, the third game of the finals.

The venue of the game came to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and with a score of 1:1, the fans at the home of the Cavaliers were full of confidence in the team.

Although in recent days, the whole country has been hotly discussing the issue of NBA Finals penalty scales because of the problem of referee blowing, but for Cleveland fans, they are still more inclined to believe in the strength of their own team.

Why did the referees give the Cavaliers so many whistles in the first two games? Of course, it's because the Cavaliers are a break-led team, frequently holding the ball and breaking through to make fouls, of course, the number of free throws is more, and most of the Rockets' offense is shooting three-pointers from beyond the three-point line, isn't it natural to shoot fewer free throws?

And in their opinion, even if they change the referee, the result is the same, this is Cleveland, their home court, in the next two games, the Cavaliers will definitely be able to win two cities in a row, leave with a score of 3:1, and completely crush the Rockets' dream of a three-consecutive championship dynasty!

But it backfired, and the actual situation of the game was beyond their expectations.

Da Yao, who was plagued by fouls in the first two games, can be said to be holding back his belly, after all, his actions are slow and clumsy, and he is easy to be "made" fouls, so there is not much chance to play at all.

This time, he finally had a chance to play, and Embiid, who showed off in front of him in the first two games, was a violent beating.

This first-year rookie little Karami, but the first two games almost on his head.

Da Yao, who is also the champion of the NBA and has two championships in hand, is very hard, and he is a superstar who can be ranked around 20 to 30 in NBA history.

And after the first two games, Embiid, who played well, even said bluntly in front of media reporters, Da Yao is nothing more than that, I am stronger than him now, and I will get more honors and achievements than him in the future.

Da Yao: "Hehe, little ghost, let's have a good chat." ”

Without the help of the referee, Embiid was unilaterally beaten by Da Yao without any suspense, and he really had no power to fight back unilaterally.

On the offensive end, Da Yao can easily squeeze into the interior line with the advantage of tonnage and strength, and he doesn't even need to jump, just hook or pick the basket on the spot to send the basketball to the basket.

On the other hand, Embiid's two shots under the basket were tragically beaten by Da Yao's blood cap, and he could only float far away to shoot from the outside, which was extremely inefficient.

Da Yao turned all his anger at the unfair treatment in the first two games into motivation and vented it in the third game.

He shot 5-of-6 in the first quarter, 4-of-7 in the second quarter, and 4-of-5 in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, Da Yao shot 13 of 18 and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 32 points and shooting an exaggerated 72% from the field.

On the Cavaliers' side, neither Embiid nor Gasol defended Da Yao could stop his near-inexplicable offense under the basket.

Yao Ming's advantages are obvious, 2.26 meters tall with a soft feel and solid basic skills, so that his lethality on the offensive end is not inferior to the peak O'Neal, but his shortcomings are also obvious, in order to enhance the weight of the confrontation, making him bulky and prone to injury, coupled with the lack of physical fitness, Da Yao is very afraid of defending around the front on the offensive end.

In fact, it's not that Da Yao can't cope with the front defense, but it takes more physical strength to break the front defense, which makes his already poor physical fitness even worse.

But now the Rockets, Da Yao doesn't need to worry about these messy things at all, especially this season, Da Yao doesn't even need to think about defending and protecting rebounds, and the only task on the court is to pour all the firepower into the opponent's basket before the physical energy is exhausted.

It's not that Embiid hasn't tried to defend Da Yao in front of him, but Wang Chao is not one of those teammates before Da Yao, and with a passing ability value of 93, he has many ways to put the basketball in Da Yao's hands.

The result was that after the end of the third quarter of the game, Da Yao, who had played for a total of 22 minutes, sat comfortably on the sidelines to rest with a satisfied smile and sweat, while Wang Chao led the five small lineups of death and continued to expand the score advantage established by Da Yao.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers replaced all the main forces, because the difference between the two teams has always been maintained at more than 25 points from the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Cavaliers fans watched with disappointment.

They thought that after the first two games, the game after the referee change might be a hard battle, but they never thought that they would be beaten by such a one-sided hanging.

Also a top center in the NBA, the aging Da Yao is countless stronger than the young Embiid. Gasol, the strength of the two is not in the same dimension at all.

"It turns out that there is still a huge gap between Embie's Derby and Da Yao, who has become a top center in the league, and he has a lot to learn, and it also proves that there is still a gap between the strength of the Cavaliers and the Rockets without the help of referees."

"2:1, the Rockets regained the initiative through a big victory, this pressure came to the Cavaliers' side, the next second home, they have no way out, if they continue to lose, the score will come to 3:1, then it will be too late!"

James and the Cavaliers are also aware of this, especially James, who is really anxious.

The Cavaliers' roster structure this season is far better than the previous Heat team, although Irving and Embiid have not reached the height of Wade in their peak, but it is an indisputable fact that Wade's state during the Heat Big Three has plummeted due to injuries.

As for Bosh, no matter how fanciful Bosh is blowing now, the brutal truth is that Bosh has only been named to the All-Star team once in his career, or in the 06-07 season, he played only two playoff games in his seven seasons with the Raptors, and both were eliminated by a big score in the first round.

Of the Celtics Big Three, even Ray is the least honored. Allen, who has a two-team, a three-team, and two All-Round teams, and his honor was snatched up in that period when the big four quarterbacks dominated the league, surrounded by guards such as Kobe Bryant, Iverson, Maddy Carter, etc.

This Cavaliers team is indeed different from the Rockets, the old and strong Gasol, Pierce, Irving and Embiid with great potential among the new players, especially Irving, in the two years that the Cavaliers single-core led the team to compete for the championship, Irving, who has a lot of ball possession, has developed a good ability to charge alone, which can just make up for James's shortcomings that are not obvious shortcomings, that is, the scoring ability at critical moments.

If he can't even grasp the opportunity with such a lineup and can't win against Wang Chao and the Rockets, there is a high probability that he, the chosen son, will only have one championship in his life!

How could this make James not be in a hurry?

In the fourth game, the anxious James completely broke out and showed all his strength without reservation, shooting 18 of 38, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 6 of 10 free throws, and slashing 46 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Even Wang Chao couldn't prevent James from breaking out in the small universe.

At the same time, James' outburst also led to Irving's efficient play, who scored 28 points on 10-of-20 shooting.

With James Irving's 74 points, the Cavaliers stubbornly defeated the Rockets 118-115 at their home court to tie the overall score at 2-2.

The reason why the Rockets lost this game was because James Irving broke out at the same time, and on the other hand, after the explosion of Da Yao in the last game, he entered the skill reading period as usual, and the performance in this game was mediocre and did not give Wang Chao enough support on the offensive end.

But at least in these two Cleveland games, the referees didn't interfere with the game, even if this is the home court of the Cavaliers, the blowing penalty is more or less home, but it is not as exaggerated as the first two games.

As long as the referee can maintain the current penalty scale, Wang Chao is sure to win the next series, after all, James and Irving at the same time The outbreak of the small universe is not something that can be done in every game, and Da Yao will also have time to read the skill strip, as long as Wang Chao seizes an opportunity, a wave can take the Cavaliers away! ——

On June 14, in the fifth game of the finals, with a total score of 2:2, the two teams will play the battle of Tianwang Mountain at the home of the Rockets.

As Wang Chao thought, although James could still contribute 40 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists on 15-of-33 shooting in this game, Irving was no longer as god-like as he was in the last game, scoring only 14 points on 5-of-15 shooting.

Irving is a very strange player, his strength is recognized as the top level of guards, and he will also have the name of the first point guard in the future, but he has won few honors in the NBA, until Wang Chao crossed, it was only a best second team and two best third teams.

Owen, who has super scoring ability, is more like a large nerve knife, invincible when he feels hot, but he is also powerful when he feels bad.

In the first few years of his tenure with the Cavaliers, the team competed for the top pick every year, and then the Celtics and Nets, giving people more of the impression that he was limited to playing well and having a bad brain.

At the end of the day, without James, Irving has never proven his abilities.

In this game, Irving was also limited by the Rockets' targeted defense, and the offense did not have the same spirituality as in the last game.

Irving can't help James enough, let alone Embiid, Gasol and Pierce.

The Cavaliers, who lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain, were already 2:3 behind, and the Rockets were one step ahead to get the match point.

In the sixth game, the Cavaliers' home fans are still hoping that the team can tenaciously pull back a city and fight to the death against the Rockets.

But the Rockets didn't give the Cavaliers that chance.

In this game, the defensive intensity of both teams was very high, resulting in a sharp drop in the shooting rate, and both teams did not score more than 100.

This is a relatively rare situation for two teams that scored close to 110 points in the regular season.

In the case of low offensive efficiency on both sides, it is the moment to test the star's ability to attack, in other words, to compete with the personal ability of Wang Chao and James, the two top stars.

Although James is surrounded by personal honors and team honors in all aspects, Wang Chao must admit that as a player who is not as open as him, James's personal ability is really the strongest after Jordan, and there is no one.

Maybe a star can match or even surpass James at his peak, such as Iverson in 01 and O'Neal in three consecutive championships, but in a career as long as James, it is rare to be able to maintain an efficient and powerful performance every season like an iron man.

Win or lose, except for the 10-11 season Finals hip pulling, James is the best player on both teams, even if he is defeated by the Warriors for two consecutive seasons, surrounded by Durant and Curry, James is still the strongest performer, which is an undeniable fact.

Of course, all of the above is what should have happened in the original plane.

In this world, Thanos Zhan does not exist, because Wang Chao is the one stronger than him.

Every time he meets Wang Chao in the finals, James loses and loses, not only can't win the game, but his personal data can't compare to Wang Chao.

In this regard, Wang Chao can only say that no one can brush me compared to brushing data.

However, it must be mentioned that James has also won in terms of personal data, that is, in the 06-07 season, when he broke into the Finals for the first time in his career, he faced Wang Chao, who was still a role player in the Suns.

It's just that since then, Wang Chao has moved to the Magic team and become the tactical core of the Magic team, and since then he has begun to surpass James in various ways in terms of personal data.

Up to now, except for the youngest records still held by James, he no longer has any honors that can be compared with Wang Chao, even the all-around that James has always flaunted, which has been overshadowed by Wang Chao's average triple-double per game for three consecutive seasons.

Getting back to the G6 game, James, who tried to turn the tide at home and equalize the score, once again showed the super strength and performance of the first two games, scoring 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in just half a game, and single-handedly supporting the entire team's offense when his teammates were plummeting due to high-pressure defensive efficiency.

But Wang Chao did the same thing on the Rockets' side, and as always.

In addition to the offensive statistics of 31 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in the half, Wang Chao also had 3 steals and 1 block on the defensive end, which directly made James numb.

It's incomparable, it's really incomparable.

In terms of offensive explosiveness, James, who mainly breaks through with the ball and creates damage, is not a little worse than Wang Chao, who scores almost half of the points outside the three-point line, even if James feels good in this game, 3 of 6 three-pointers in the half, but it is still not as good as Wang Chao.

In terms of rebounding, Wang Chao, who has the natural skills of a rebounding man, can completely compete with Jordan Jr. and Andre. Drummond is a rebounding maniac who competes with each other.

Even in terms of organizing passes, James may not be better than Wang Chao.

As for defense, the two-time Defensive Player of the Year award can be given to James.

James, who has used data to roll up most of the league's players for most of his life, has really been numbed by Wang Chao, and he can't compare with anything, even compared to his teammates.

This game is a high-intensity tough battle, ask, who is the strongest player in the NBA league to play a tough game?

If in 2023, there is no doubt about this answer - Jimmy. Butler!

Although Butler in the 14-15 season is still a little far behind the hardest JB in the league in the future, Butler, who is good at mid-range shooting offense and plays like Joe's gang, really played well in this game.

And not only Butler, Leonard is also good at mid-range shooting, is also a good attacker, and when he led the Raptors to win the championship in 19, he personally defeated the Philadelphia 76ers led by Butler.

Wang's teammates on the Chao side are Leonard and Butler, while James' teammates for the Cavaliers are Irving and Embiid......

Then, in fact, there is no then.

Forced by the exaggerated public opinion pressure planned behind Wang Chao, the referee who did not dare to make a big move could only be partial in some of the blowing penalties, and could not directly influence the battle situation.

As a result, the Rockets finally defeated the Cavaliers 92-87 at the Cavaliers' home court, with a total score of 4-2, winning the O'Brien Cup for the third consecutive year and completing the three-consecutive championship dynasty!

The Rockets' road to winning the championship this season can be described as bumpy and bumpy, especially in the first two games of the Finals, the pressure from the referee is huge, if it weren't for Wang Chao's off-court means to put pressure on the entire league to force them to stop, the Rockets may not necessarily win the Cavaliers.

After all, the Cavaliers are not weak at all, with James to ensure the team's combat power floor, Irving, Embiid and others to provide future security and ceilings, and finally Gasol and Pierce to ensure bench depth.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent was Wang Chao's Rockets, if it was the Warriors, even if the Warriors now had one more Cousins on the inside, it was unlikely that they would be the opponent of the Cavaliers.

Losing to Wang Chao on the finals stage for the third year in a row made it difficult for James to control his expression, and after he politely hugged Wang Chao and saluted, he walked to the player tunnel without looking back.

On the way to the locker room, James was already very uncertain about the future.

The Cavaliers lineup is very young, Irving and Embiid have great room for growth, and they will get stronger and stronger in the next few seasons, but in the same way, the Rockets' lineup is not old.

The real troublesome issues are Wang Chao, Leonard, and Butler, the three top forwards who have been named to both the All-NBA and All-Defensive teams this season.

"Could it be that the emperor can only have one championship after exhausting his entire career......

Looking at the dark road at the end of the tunnel where there was no light illuminating it, James was confused.
