Xu Feng explained patiently: "The NBA is a commercial league. Although it is a sports competition, commercial factors must be considered."

"After one game, the broadcast fee, the tickets of the two teams, and the bookmaker will all make a lot of money, but if they sweep four games, the game will lose suspense early, and the bookmaker will lose a lot."

Yin Suwan asked puzzledly: "Then there was a 4-0 sweep before. I remember that James was swept by the Spurs in 07?"

"At one time and another, at that time, the NBA had not cooperated with gambling companies, and the internationalization of the NBA in recent years has been done very well, and the broadcast fee is very high."

"It's as if the family is used to being rich, and they can't live in poverty anymore, and the wages have been paid to the players, so the money must be transferred when it is most profitable."

After all, Yin Suwan is also a woman working hard in the business world, she soon understood, but she was still very unconvinced.

"Then the next game, will you lose?"

Xu Feng shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, the probability of losing is very high, no matter what, we will still try our best, the result depends on God's will."

Yin Suwan felt a sense of sadness when she heard this, she buried her head in Xu Feng's chest, and said softly: "No matter what, you are a hero in my heart, no one can compare to you!"

Xu Feng stroked her hair and said gratefully: "Thank you for supporting me all the time, I will definitely not let you down!"

……

The next day, all the Lakers came to Cleveland to prepare for Game [-].

The Lakers also know the importance of this game. If they win, then the championship is equivalent to winning.

Because no team can turn from 0:3 behind in a seven-game four-win game.

There are quite a few reversed after falling behind 1:3.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the Cavaliers will never let the Lakers win easily.

The players trained hard and refused media interviews.

Xu Feng also did not accept an interview. He first watched the video of the previous two games with D'Antoni, and then focused on the Cavaliers' offense and strengthened his defensive training with his teammates.

07:30 p.m. Day [-], Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland.

The third game between the Lakers and Cavaliers kicked off.

The Lakers' starters are still Xu Feng, Kobe, McGee, Tucker and Lin Shuhao.

The Cavaliers' starting five have changed a bit, James, Irving, Love, TT and Dellavedova.

TT replaced Mozgov and Dellavedova replaced JR Smith.

The main reason is that Mozgov is a bit slow, and Dellavedova's defense is better than Smith.

Xu Feng felt a little bad when he saw the opponent changing formation.

At the beginning of the game, McGee grabbed the first wave of the ball, and Lin Shuhao dribbled in the backcourt.

Dellavedova stepped forward to fight, but Lin Shuhao was accidentally bumped by Dellavedova, and then the ball was intercepted!

This should be a foul, but the referee didn't blow it, and Dellavedova scored a layup!
The Cavaliers fans in the Quicken Loans Arena were extremely happy, shouting and cheering for the Cavaliers players.

Lin Shuhao looked helpless, shook his head constantly, and talked to the referee.

But the referee ignored it.

The Lakers served from the baseline, Lin Shuhao passed the ball to Xu Feng ahead of time, and James also stepped forward to press.

James also made a big move and bumped into Xu Feng.

But Xu Feng had been prepared for a long time, he dribbled enough strength, and hit back. James was bounced off, and Xu Feng dribbled the ball past halftime.

Seeing Irving defending Kobe, Xu Feng immediately passed the ball.

Kobe has an advantage in height, so he can bully Irving.

After receiving the ball, Kobe made a feint, ready to pull.

But Dellavedova came and knocked Bryant down hard, and the ball went out of bounds.

The referee didn't blow the whistle as if he didn't see it. The Lakers players went to argue, and Tucker was called a technical foul!
Xu Feng's face was gloomy, he pulled his teammates away, and said loudly: "Don't panic! This is the away game, let's play hard!"

Irving made a free throw for a technical foul and made a hit, 3:0!

The Cavaliers lead.

The Lakers sent the ball to the sideline, and Kobe received the ball again.

The ball just now was very dangerous. Fortunately, Kobe was not injured, otherwise the Lakers would have really lost a lot.

Kobe passed the ball to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng faced James, turned around, and was about to pass him.

But James reacted very quickly. He really worked hard today. He moved quickly and got in front of Xu Feng.

Xu Feng was about to use a change of direction to surpass others, when suddenly James fell backwards.

Although the two had contact, Xu Feng didn't make any effort at all. James was acting.

beep!
The referee whistled and called Xu Feng an offensive foul!
Xu Feng was furious and yelled at the referee, who immediately called Xu Feng a technical foul.

In just over a minute of the game, the Lakers were called two technical fouls and one offensive foul.

Xu Feng held back the anger in his heart and walked aside, Kobe hurried over to persuade him.

Although he has experienced many finals, Kobe is also a bit confused. It is a bit too much to call the Lakers for fouls at the beginning of the game.

Irving took the penalty again and made a hit, 4:0!

The Cavaliers attacked, James dribbled the ball from the top arc, and Xu Feng defended alone.

James' shoulders sank and he wanted to squeeze through from the right, but Xu Feng moved faster with his feet and blocked it quickly, and the two collided.

beep!
The referee's whistle blew again, and Xu Feng was blown to stop the foul!

Less than 2 minutes into the game, Xu Feng fouled twice.

Xu Feng didn't argue, he understood everything, if he continued to argue, he would be punished twice for technical offenses.

So now he can only endure.

D'Antoni hurriedly replaced Xu Feng to protect Xu Feng. If he made three fouls in the first quarter, Xu Feng would not be able to play behind.

Ellington came on to replace Xu Feng.

Without Xu Feng, the Cavaliers were like tigers out of the cage, unstoppable, and James began to make continuous breakthroughs.

Anyway, as long as the Lakers defend, they call a foul.

At 5 minutes and 41 seconds in the first quarter, the official timeout was entered.

In the past five minutes, the Lakers Kobe fouled once, McGee fouled twice, Tucker fouled twice, and Lin Shuhao fouled once.

On the Cavaliers' side, there was only one foul by Dellavedova and one foul by TT.

And the Lakers still have two technical fouls.

The score between the two sides was 17:8, and the Cavaliers led by 9 points.

The home fans saw the dawn of victory, shouted and danced happily, hoping that the Cavaliers could win two rounds in the away game.

Xu Feng watched from the sidelines with a livid face. Although he was mentally prepared for this, he was still unwilling to be blown like this.

The time-out is over and the game continues.

Without Xu Feng, the Lakers really couldn't stop the Cavaliers' mad attack, and they didn't dare to defend, so the Cavaliers' shooting rate was extremely high.

At 9 minutes and 33 seconds into the first quarter, the Cavaliers hit 6 three-pointers.

The Lakers only made 1 Kobe Bryant.
