Pick Westbrook

Chapter 177

5 month 26 day.

The Bucks scored 1:3.

Milwaukee has gathered outside Bradley Arena, all cheering and preparing for the return of their hero.

On the CCTV commentary station, Su Qun said: "Tonight's game is likely to be the last game of the Eastern Conference Finals."

"After all, this is the home court of the Bucks. They must hope to hold a celebration ceremony at their doorstep and win the Eastern Conference championship trophy."

Yu Jia nodded in agreement and said: "In 1971, the Bucks reached the finals for the first time in team history and successfully won the championship. In 1974, they entered the finals for the second time and unfortunately lost."

"If they can reach the finals again in this year's playoffs, it will be the first trip to the finals in 36 years."

Su Qun couldn't help heaving a long sigh when he heard this record.

For 36 years, the Milwaukee native who witnessed the Bucks reaching the finals and even winning the championship at that time may be an old man in his twilight years.

Bradley Arena.

The Bucks players are full of momentum, and the young players headed by Westbrook and Curry are determined to end the entire Eastern Conference Finals series in this game tonight.

On the court, James is still actively warming up as usual and doing stretching training with the help of his assistant coach.

He is always the first player on both sides to come to the court, because his warm-up training before the game is the most complicated and useful.

The trash talk and shouts of the Milwaukee fans were flying all over the sky.

The referee's whistle bursts onto the pitch, the rest of the noise fades away, and the game begins.

Midfield jump ball.

Big Z jumps off the ball.

James attacks with the ball.

Jamison high pick-and-roll, James stride straight to the basket.

Rasheed Wallace chose to defend, but he could only watch James take off from the free throw line and take off directly.

boom!
"In the first attack of the game, James scored with a tomahawk dunk!"

Looking at the broadcast screen in front of him, Su Qun did not forget to remind him afterwards: "James should keep it tight, after all, it will take 48 minutes to play, and he will use up all his strength after playing like this a few times."

Yu Jia saw something else from this goal, that is, James still wants to win!
"So the Bucks have to be very careful in tonight's game. James still wants to reach the finals. He is very stubborn and did not admit defeat."

on the field.

Li Lai stepped onto the court very nervously, reminding all the players to be strict. He also saw something different from James' eyes and desire to fight.

"I'm afraid this game is not that simple."

Westbrook and Yi Jianlian had a high pick-and-roll, and then passed to the cutting Artest.

James returned to the defense quickly, and Artest was stuck and could only be passed to Rasheed Wallace who cut in the middle.

boom!
Rasheed Wallace scored with two-handed dunks.

Seeing that the Bucks still played a smooth cooperative offense, Tyronn Lue sat on the coach's bench and felt that Li Lai was really concerned and confused.

Judging from the trend of this round of the series, the Bucks' offense is almost crushing against the Cavaliers. The only game they lost was because the team felt cold, which gave the Cavaliers an opportunity. The Cavaliers shouldn't be a match for the Bucks anyway.

So in Tyronn Lu's view, Li Lai was really nervous.

The Cavaliers attack.

James advanced a long pass and it went directly to Anthony Parker, who was already standing in the corner, and the latter made a steady three-pointer.

"The Cavaliers started the game very aggressively."

On-site commentary desk.

In Barkley's view, if the Cavaliers want to win the Bucks, in addition to doing their own defensive work, they must greatly improve the efficiency of the offensive end, so that they can beat the Bucks.

Especially those role players, they have to stand up in time to share the pressure for James. If every ball is let James attack, then the result is likely to be that the game is not over yet, and James will be exhausted first.

Following the three-pointer, Li Lai looked at the court more and more nervously.

He obviously felt that the Cavaliers had already had the momentum of breaking the boat. Anyway, tonight's game would either win and return home, or lose and go home, so the Cavaliers players on the field all had a broken attitude. .

It's already a big score of 1:3, how bad can it be?
James once again headed Artest into the inside. After attracting Yi Jianlian's double-team, he hit the ground and passed the ball to Big Z.

The latter scored with a dunk.

"The Cavaliers' offense in the first quarter was really smooth."

Marshall was already a little nervous at this time. He looked at Li Lai and said, "Coach, James has learned to be smart and knows that we won't double-team him in positional battles, so he changed pushes and transitions, made long passes in the half court, or attracted the help defense from the inside." Pass from inside to inside."

Li Lai nodded, feeling more and more afraid of James' basketball IQ.

In positional battles, the Bucks' defensive strategy is always to lead James one-on-one, and other players stand on the passing route to block James' passing possibility.

So in that situation, as long as James dares to pass the ball, there is a high possibility that he will make a mistake.

But it’s different now. James takes the initiative to push and switch. One can speed up the Cavaliers’ offensive rhythm and allow them to keep up with the Bucks’ offense. Easier scoring opportunities, and finally James himself can get breathing time in this style of play.

This kind of local tactical play is obviously not what Mike Brown's big bald head can come up with, so it should be a solution that James himself found.

"Return to defense quickly!"

Li Lai, who noticed the change in James' style of play, immediately yelled at the court.

His reminder was timely.

James glanced at Li Lai, and his memory of the head coach became more and more profound.

The first quarter is over.

The Bucks fell behind 30:33.

On the other side of the ocean, Chinese fans gathered around the TV.

Because it was Wednesday, most of the students were still in school. Taking advantage of the 10-minute break between classes, all the students boldly took out their cell phones that were hidden tightly on weekdays to watch the live game, and typed excitedly.

"Has the second quarter started?"

"Hurry up hurry up hurry up."

"Subscriber, where did you die, hurry up and send a real-time message."

The second quarter begins.

As soon as Iverson came up, he singled out Maurice Williams from beyond the three-point line and scored, tying the score for the Bucks.

Barkley said: "James continued to appear on the court without any accidents. The Bucks' offensive firepower on the bench is not much worse than that of the starting lineup, so whether the Cavaliers can continue to keep up with the Bucks' offense at this time depends on them. Whether we can win tonight's game is the key."

James once again chose a high pick-and-roll, and then dislocated Iverson in singles.

Since the last game, James has become smarter. Most of the time, he will deliberately choose singles Curry and Iverson, the two players with the weakest physical confrontation of the Bucks.

And it is indeed difficult for the two to have an effect on James defensively.

So just after Iverson scored a three-pointer in the opening game, James immediately ate Iverson three times in a row and scored at the basket.

"pause!"

Li Lai made an emergency substitution, took Dragic, left Iverson, who had a better personal offense, on the court to play point guard, and then replaced George Hill.

In this way, George Hill will be more involved in the important task of defending James, and Iverson's defensive choice is to squeeze through every screen. If he can't squeeze, he will also give James the opportunity to shoot from the outside. In short, he will not give James an easy one. possible.

Barkley praised the choice and timing of the substitution.

"Dragic and Iverson are equally strong offensively and weakly defensively, so when James plays pick-and-roll on the outside, no matter who is switching defenses and playing singles, it is difficult for the other person to participate in the important task of assisting defense or pressing the area."

"Dragic is only good at breaking through the basket with speed, and Iverson has much more offensive means, so Li Lai chose to replace Dragic and push Iverson to the point guard, and at the same time let George Both Hill and Artest were involved in defending James."

"In this way, although it is impossible to prevent James to death, it will never be scored by James three times in a row like before."

But the replacement is timely, and this is the best lineup that can limit James in the Bucks' bench stage, but in the end, James still has a strong single-handed George Hill to the basket.

In the face of O'Neal and Villanueva's help defense, James chose a super large pull-up layup.

"You can jump so high!"

Subsequently, O'Neal responded by forcing Varejao to score under the basket.

The second game.

Relying on the performance of O'Neal and Iverson, the Bucks tied the score.

62: 62.

The two teams returned to the same starting line again.

CCTV commentary desk.

Su Qun shook his head at this time and said: "Don't look at the Cavaliers and Bucks tied, this is actually not good for them."

"Because James didn't rest for 1 minute, he has played 24 minutes in a row."

"The longer the game drags on, the less dominant James can show on the court."

Yu Jia sighed and said: "But James scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the halftime. This data is placed on other people. The proper data of the whole game must be a star-level player."

"Now James has scored such a statistic in just half a game. God knows how he will shock the ancients and the present after the whole game."

Second half of the game.

James suddenly accelerated from outside the three-point line and directly got rid of Artest and went to the basket. Facing Yi Jianlian's defense, he made a folding dunk.

"This physical quality is frighteningly strong!"

"Coach, please double-team James! He's going crazy on the court!"

"Artest can limit James' shooting percentage, Rasheed Wallace can top the rotation stage, but even the Celtics can't rely on one player to defend James."

"We should really consider double-teaming James!"

Tyronn Lue and Marshall couldn't sit still anymore. Since halftime, this is the third time they have asked Lee to double-team James.

At this time, Li Lai's forehead was covered with sweat. He never thought that James alone would bring such huge troubles to the Bucks. In fact, Li Lai's heart had been shaken as early as the last game, and he also Can't help but want to change my tactics.

"But even a person who just learned how to play basketball knows that double-teaming James is a very bad choice, how can I do this!"

At this time, Li Lai chose to withstand the pressure. He still insisted on letting Artest lead the defense against James alone. At the same time, he told Yi Jianlian and Rasheed Wallace not to help defend unless James hits the basket. he.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Westbrook and Curry to strengthen their personal offenses, and they are bound to win tonight's game.

beep!beep!
The Cavaliers called a timeout.

Barkley looked at James, who was panting on the court and was about to collapse on the ground, and said: "Coach Mike Brown didn't need to call a timeout for this ball, but he still called a timeout."

"I guess he should have called to let James rest."

Kenny Smith glanced at the score, 81:83, and nodded in agreement.

The Cavaliers really don't need to call a timeout at this time.

This is James. It is impossible for any player in the league to rely on physical strength to fight the Bucks for so long.

After calling the timeout, Mike Brown did not arrange any tactics on the field. At this time, he could not arrange any tactics. He could only keep motivating the players on the field.

James seems to have known that his head coach has a few catties of ink in his belly, so instead of surrounding Mike Brown with his teammates at this time, he sat on the billboard and peeled oranges.

After eating one after another, James' pale mouth finally had some blood. He shook his shoulders as if he was resurrected with blood, and walked onto the court again.

The Milwaukee people on the sidelines couldn't help swallowing when they saw this brawny James.

"What the hell, Super Saiyans don't recover as fast as you."

Game four.

The Bucks and the Cavaliers took the lead alternately for a full 6 times. Curry successfully scored three-pointers with elevator door tactics many times in a row, and Westbrook scored with a tomahawk dunk.

But tonight's protagonist belongs to the Cavaliers and James.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, James staged a scene of riding the savior alone, scoring 6 points in a row, helping the Cavaliers win the game with difficulty.

112: 115.

The Eastern Conference Finals scored 2:3.

During the post-match interview.

James was still wrapped in a towel, and before and after the press conference, he drank a bottle of Gatorade drink in front of him without saying a word.

None of the reporters in the press conference disturbed him at this time, and only after he finished drinking quietly did a reporter speak.

"LeBron, congratulations, the Cavaliers won the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals series, and now the big score has come to 2:3, if the Cavaliers win another game, it will be a 3:3 tie. "

"Now the pressure seems to be on the Bucks' side."

James let out a long breath at this moment.

The pressure is on the Bucks?

He doesn't think so, he can only say that the Bucks will become more nervous because of this game.

Moreover, it is impossible for him to score 55 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists every night.

The reporter continued: "Just now the NBA headquarters has given the latest news, 55 points is the highest score in the Eastern Conference finals."

“上一位记录的保持者是乔丹在93年对阵尼克斯队，G4彻底爆发轰下了54分6篮板2助攻的华丽数据，命中率高达60%。”

Of course, James only shot 48% in this game tonight, which is a bit behind Jordan.

However, under the care of Artest and Rasheed Wallace in turn, James has been able to hit such a shooting percentage, and he has indeed broken Jordan's record.

James frowned at this moment.

He really wants to say that he is not the kind of player who likes to score 40 or 50 points, and he will be happier if he can exchange 50 of them for 20 assists.

"But the Bucks' defensive options didn't give me that opportunity."

"The next game is in Cleveland, and I will do my best to help the team keep this victory."

Cleveland, light rain.

All Ohio fans chose to take to the streets against the rain at this time, and some hardcore male fans even bare their upper body at this time, graffitiing the words "James kings".

The name of LeBron James was being chanted throughout the city, and all Cavaliers fans believed that their hero would lead them to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Quicken Loans Arena.

The shouts of the fans at the scene almost shook the entire arena, and this kind of momentum also brought great pressure to the Bucks players on the field.

player channel.

Iverson called all his teammates around, he raised his right hand high, and after feeling the strength of all his teammates, he began to speak.

"We have failed, frustrated, but never gave up, because we firmly believe that I'm the best!"

"Now we are only one step away from the stage of the finals, so win this game tonight."

"1.2.3!"

"Bucks."

"let's go!"

CCTV commentary desk.

Yu Jia, Zhang Weiping, and Su Qun jointly commented on tonight's game.

The three of them are very clear that tonight's game is very important for any of the two teams.

If the Cavaliers lose this game, they will go straight home, and the Bucks lose this game, they will draw a 3:3 tie with the Cavaliers on a big score, and the two teams will go back to home. to the same starting line.

This is from 1:3 to 3:3. If the Bucks really lose the game, their psychological pressure will be even greater.

Yu Jia said: "So tonight's game is destined to be a game where sparks hit the earth. Do the two teachers think it is possible for the Cavaliers to make a comeback and reach the finals?"

Hearing this, Zhang Weiping heheed and said: "Don't look at the Cavaliers winning the last game. It was based on James' 55 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. You can't expect James to win every game. That kind of stats can be scored every single game.”

"Moreover, James' ability to score such a high score is not because of how strong his scoring skills are. It's just that the Bucks just targeted his pass to drive his teammates, so he gave him a lot of opportunities to score easily."

Su Qun took a long breath, knowing that Zhang Weiping, the super secret in front of him, would bring Kobe out without any surprises, and then compared Kobe's skills with James's in detail, so he interrupted in advance.

"Regardless of the outcome of tonight's game, James has shown terrifying dominance in this year's playoffs, from the Bulls to the Magic, and now the Bucks."

"The reason why the Cavaliers can bite the bullet and get to where they are today is all due to James."

"James' dominance on the court this season is just like Shaquille O'Neal's dominance in the interior. It's true that no one can defend against him."

On the court, the game begins.

Yi Jianlian jumped high and grabbed the rebound!

In this round of the series, he has been opening up space for Curry and Westbrook, and has repeatedly punished Big Z and Varejao from outside the three-point line. He can also fight against Big Z in the interior. , Guarded the Bucks' defensive rebounds, and even participated in the last link to help defend James.

Yi Jianlian encouraged his teammates: "Score the first goal!"

Westbrook pushed forward with the ball. At this time, he also saw coach Li Lai who had been standing on the sidelines.

Since the playoffs, Li Lai will sit on the sidelines after the Bucks score their first goal in each game. His actions are also reminding every player on the field to stay focused.

With Yi Jianlian and Rasheed Wallace's high-post double pick-and-roll, the Cavaliers decisively chose to switch defenses.

Big Z leaned against Westbrook to guard the basket, and he has defended this wave very well.

But at the same time, Rasheed Wallace rushed into the penalty area, and Maurice Williams couldn't stop the opponent after switching defenses. He could only watch Westbrook hit the ground and Rasheed Wallace dunked Enter.

"Since the sudden loss of touch in that game, the Bucks will choose a two-pointer in the first round of offense to guarantee the bottom line."

"It can be seen that this team has grown very rapidly after going through a whole round of series this year."

"If ESPN is allowed to evaluate this Bucks team again, I am afraid that their strength will be ranked at least in the top three positions in the league."

Kenny Smith has the confidence to say this.

Barkley also nodded in agreement.

They watched the growth and progress of the Bucks with their own eyes. Since Curry's sudden ball-holding style unexpectedly overwhelmed the Celtics, the team has become more confident and stronger.

The Cavaliers want to win a game with this team, except for expecting the explosion of role players, they can only rely on James' super long performance.

Barkley glanced at the Bucks' defensive options on the field, shook his head directly and said: "The Bucks still adopted the strategy of defending James alone to block the passing route. It seems that James can only attack by himself in this game tonight. gone."

Kenny Smith turned over the data of this round of the series. In the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers will also allow Maurice William and Delonte West to attack with the ball.

It's just that after losing the first two games, they no longer dared to let the two with extremely low offensive efficiency take the initiative to hold the ball on the court.

Except that Jamison will play low-post inside and attack with the ball outside for a part of the time, the ball is all in James' hands during the rest of the time.

It's not that coach Mike Brown insisted that the Cavaliers play this way, but that it's impossible to win the Bucks without playing this way. James couldn't even win from the court for a second.

Because of the series so far, as long as James is not on the court, the Bucks will inevitably play a wave of offensive high slots.

"Who can stand this?"

James holds the ball in a high position, and the Cavaliers also use outside pick-and-roll tactics, but their pick-and-roll tactics have a different purpose from the Bucks.

The Cavaliers just hoped that the pick-and-roll would allow James to get a break while the pick-and-roll rolls down the other side to attract the defense and find a way to get the ball.

In this way, James will get rid of Artest's death entanglement and get a favorable offensive space.

"In the past, when the Cavaliers and James played such a tactic, other teams would choose to double-team, but the Bucks did not."

"They chose the penalty area of ​​the United Arab Emirates and Rasheed Wallace to help defend."

It is difficult for Su Qun to say whether such a defensive strategy is good or not, because under the defensive choice of the Bucks, James almost played the most dominant series in the history of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, while other players of the Cavaliers played Even worse than their regular season data.

Especially Maurice Williams, Anthony Parker and Delonte West, the three should have been the Cavaliers players with the strongest offensive firepower except for James and Jamison, but now the average shooting percentage of the three is even worse. They all fluctuate around 40%, and the worst Morris Williams even only has 34%.

"Xiao Mo is definitely the biggest sinner of the Cavaliers in this round of the series. The offense is not enough to make up for the defense. Coach Mike Brown has lowered his average playing time to 20 minutes per game."

"Obviously, the second engine besides James that the Cavaliers desperately wanted last season failed to share James' pressure at all, but increased the defensive burden of the Cavaliers."

Yu Jiali said bluntly: "But Maurice Williams still has the second highest salary in the Cavaliers, second only to James. Absolutely high salary and low ability."

James scored a strong layup against Yi Jianlian's defense.

Throughout the series, as long as James comes to the position of the basket, apart from O'Neal can interfere with him, Yi Jianlian and Rasheed Wallace can provide little frame protection ability.

The first quarter of the game turned into the familiar picture of James rushing to the basket crazily and the Bucks playing tactics crazily.

The Cavaliers once again led 32-31.

Tyronn Lue said extremely worried: "The Cavaliers have led us in scoring in the first quarter for two consecutive games. James is too smart. He has become more and more understanding of our defensive weaknesses, so his scoring has become more and more important. It's getting easier."

"If you let him fight like this again, maybe it will really make him come back."

Marshall also said anxiously at this time: "Coach, James has already broken Jordan's single-game scoring record in the Eastern Conference Finals in the last game. If he cuts the same data again in this game, it will be considered that our offensive firepower is exploding." It’s also hard to win games.”

Li Lai understood the worries and anxieties of the two teaching assistants. Even he couldn't count how many times he wavered in his decision.

But Li Lai knew very well that anyone on the Bucks could feel like double-teaming James, but he couldn't.

Because he is the only one who can help the team on the right path.

"Jordan is not a god, and neither is James. Everyone thinks they are too mythical. They are completely human, but they all have extremely strong physical fitness and the will to fight for the first place."

"Jordan dared to say he wanted to win the championship on the first day he entered the NBA, and on the first day James entered the NBA he dared to say that I am not Michael Jordan, I am LeBron James."

"So both of them have weaknesses and they're both tired, James, he's just struggling all the time."

The second game.

George Hill used a three-pointer and a wonderful pass to help the Bucks overtake the score, and the two teams once again entered the scene of exchanging leads.

As O'Neal and Iverson began to exert their strength, the Bucks took the lead 64:60.

Second half of the game.

The Cleveland fans at the scene are already cheering for the Cavaliers and James crazily.

"The bastards of the Bucks, fall at the feet of the emperor, we are the championship team."

"LeBron! Go!"

As the fans said, James rushed towards the basket crazily. He was dragged by Artest and scored a layup, but he fell down without a firm foothold when he landed.

Su Qun and Barkley said at the same time: "James is tired!"

Not only the two, Kenny Smith and Yu Jia on the side also discovered the situation on the court a second later.

Watching James' tenacious drive to the basket again and again, he didn't notice it. It wasn't until this time that everyone remembered that James hadn't rested for a minute in several games in a row. Even an iron man should be tired by this time.

James goes to the free throw line.

Raise your hand, move your wrist, three non-touch.

The Bucks switched offense.

Westbrook made a fast break with the ball, went to the basket and dunked.

After dunking, Westbrook still felt strange. In the past, there was always a Tie Hanhan behind him who wanted to give him a volleyball-style hot pot hat. Why didn't he come this time?
James is still standing on the free throw line on the other side of the court at this time, and he is almost walking back on the court to defend.

At this time, the audience at the scene had already expected something, and the tears in the corners of some female fans' eyes could not stop flowing out.

Until this time, they are still shouting.

"LeBron, the hero of Cleveland!"

The Cavaliers' offense was suddenly cut off, and the defensive limit also dropped suddenly. The Bucks Westbrook, Curry, and Yi Jianlian worked hard and jointly blasted a wave of 12:0 offensive highs.

At this time, Mike Brown on the sidelines of the Cavaliers walked anxiously near the sideline of the court.

At this moment, how much he wishes he had a timeout in his hand, so that he can call a timeout to let James take a good rest, but unfortunately, he has already given James a rest in the third quarter.

So James, who was almost tired at this time, was still playing on the court with dedication and dedication.

He forced Artest to play singles, but he could no longer stand up to the opponent. In the end, he could only choose a mid-range fadeaway shot that he was not good at.

Duang!Strike the iron!

"This ball is very short from the shot."

The Bucks pushed back again.

The Cleveland fans on the sidelines couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

collapsed!

The Cavaliers are completely broken!
At this time, all the people in Cleveland turned their eyes to the Bucks coaching bench on the court. How much they hoped that the opposing coach Li Lai could call a timeout for James to take a good rest.

Tyronn Lue and Marshall had clenched their fists excitedly to celebrate. The Bucks finally waited for James' physical exhaustion. After 6 games, this iron man finally couldn't survive.

But after the celebration, Tyronn Lue and Marshall both looked at Li Lai tacitly. At this time, the Bucks on the field had already led by more than 10 points. Even if they called a timeout to let James take a rest, there would be no problem.

But Li Lai did nothing in the face of all the eyes. He didn't even call a timeout in this quarter.

Li Lai already knew that James was going to be overwhelmed, so he naturally wouldn't call a timeout at this time, because he knew James' Super Saiyan physique very well, and a timeout might have to revive him with full blood.

In the end, the Cleveland people who couldn't wait for the timeout booed Li Lai all over the sky.

Barkley shook his head and said: "I can already foresee that when this game is over, fans all over the world will definitely criticize Bucks coach Li Lai for being ruthless, cold-blooded and hard-hearted."

CCTV commentary desk.

Yu Jia couldn't help but rant, "Although Li Lai is Yi Jianlian's head coach, I still can't complain."

"The Bucks are the only team in the league that defends James like this. Obviously they won the bet. The weak Cavaliers can't beat them with James alone."

"Look at what James looks like on the court, what the Bucks have tortured him into!"

"But it's already reached this time, so what's the matter with so many timeouts in the Bucks' hands?"

Su Qun stood on the sidelines and said, "This can't be blamed on the Bucks. In the last game, James was resurrected with full blood after eating an orange. Li Lai also had to guard against it."

on the field.

Varejao took the initiative to foul Yi Jianlian and sent the opponent to the free throw line.

The entire Quicken Loans Arena finally quieted down at this time, and all eyes were on James.

James knew that this was the rest time that his good brother Varejao deliberately bought for him.

Mike Brown was pacing back and forth on the sidelines. He naturally knew that this free throw time was not enough for James to rest, so he was wondering whether to take advantage of the free throw to replace James.

But if James is replaced at this moment, the Cavaliers can almost be sentenced to death.

After thinking for a long time, Mike Brown gritted his teeth and signaled JJ Hickson to replace James.

But what the whole world didn't expect was that James walked near the center line and stretched out his hands to stop JJ Hickson and Mike Brown.

"I still want to fight!"

This scene saw the fans of Quicken Loans Arena burst into tears.

A female fan couldn't help covering her mouth, but couldn't stop the tears from streaming out.

"James gave everything for the Cavaliers and the city of Cleveland."

Even the well-informed Barkley couldn't help saying with great emotion at this time.

Kenny Smith stood on the opposite side of the Bucks for the first time and said: "The coaching staff of the Bucks, you are really a group of bastards."

Listening to the scolding from the fans at the scene, Tyronn Lue and Marshall looked at Li Lai who was on the side in embarrassment.

In the end, both of them found that Li Lai was still calm and calm, as if the scolding in the arena had nothing to do with him.

"This face is really thick."

In the fourth quarter, 5 minutes and 06 seconds.

Curry and Westbrook suddenly exerted their strength and once again played a wave of crazy 14:0 super high slots.

Barkley shook his head again and again, this wave of offensive high slots almost pronounced the outcome of the game.

In the last 2 minutes, seeing that the Cavaliers were still 20 points behind on the field, Mike Brown announced his surrender and replaced James and all the main players.

Li Lai didn't let his guard down until this time, and he didn't replace the Bucks' rotation player until the lead reached 1 points in the last minute.

Under the standing cheers of the Cleveland people, James high-fived his teammates one by one, and then sat on the bench to drink water.

Su Qun couldn't help but said at this time: "The game has entered garbage time, and both sides have replaced some garbage players. This is the first time in the entire Eastern Conference Finals."

Finally, the game is over.

The Bucks won the game 121:102.

4: 2!

"Congratulations to the Bucks for advancing to the NBA Finals!"

Kenny Smith shouted excitedly.

But the fans at Quicken Loans Arena were still crying, with the Bucks and Lee's villains stuck in their minds.

The Bucks players walked onto the court and hugged the Cavaliers players, but everyone knew that these Bucks players were all looking for James.

Westbrook hugged James and said: "Man, you are a legend."

Curry and James high-fived, "You are not allowed to play singles with me next season."

Li Lai sat alone on the bench, his nose suddenly sore.

"Finally advanced to the finals!"

Tyronn Lue and Marshall put their hands on Li Lai's shoulders at the same time, and they knew exactly what kind of pressure Li Lai faced in this round of the series.

Against all odds, he chose not to double-team James, and even allowed the opponent to surpass Jordan's data. If the Cavaliers win this round of the series, then he will suffer abuse from all over the world after the game.

But it turned out that Li Lai was right.

In fact, even a young man who is only learning to play knows that defending James' pass is more important than defending his offense. Fans around the world, Tyronn Lue, and Marshall don't know this truth.

"But who can withstand such great pressure and choose not to double-team James? Our coach is the only one in the world."

James came over deliberately at this time, and took the initiative to hug and greet Li Lai under the attention of fans all over the world.

He said: "I will practice my offensive skills this offseason, so that you will not dare to defend me like this next time you meet you."

Li Lai was startled.

Seeing that James, who was eliminated by the Bucks, said such a sentence in the first sentence, he opened his eyes and couldn't believe it.

"So I'm speeding this guy into 2.0?"

In the end, James chose to leave the stadium to the Bucks, and the Eastern Conference championship award ceremony is coming.

James didn't want to see such a joyous night, so he walked straight toward the tunnel.
