You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 873 tit for tat
"In the evening, Phil and I will go to the scene."

On the morning of the start of the divisional finals, Wei Xia was having breakfast, and Elaine told her plans for the evening.

Generally, Elaine will not take her children to watch the game live.

For the same reason, watching the NBA live is a good place for children to learn foul language.

For families who want to raise their children into gentlemen, such places should of course be seldom visited.

Just because this is the Eastern Conference Finals and the opponent is still LeBron James, Elaine knows very well that Wei Xia is a person whose self-esteem is too strong for him to accept his embarrassment in front of his family.

So, "Not only me and Phil, but also Mom and Dad, they will all come to watch the game." Elaine obviously put a lot of pressure on Wei Xia, but she looked like an enthusiastic employee of a gas station, and put almost cooked chicken breast on his plate, "Come on, don't lose to LeBron."

Wei Xia sounded very stressed, but Elaine's natural rejection of James made him laugh.

Like him, Elaine has no grudges with James in the past or recent days, but she just doesn't like him anyway.

The reason why Wei Xia doesn't like James is the opponent's style of play and style of play.

Elaine in real life is a rational person, but she also happens to be a basketball fan.

She likes a gorgeous style of play, James is obviously not her style, not to mention she is still a fan who understands the game, she has her own set of viewing modes, and James has almost perfectly staggered all the points that make her happy.

"I'll try my best." Wei Xia seemed unconfident when he said it.

In fact, he's knocked James' teams out of the playoffs two years in a row.

In the past four years, he and James have played against each other four times and eliminated each other twice, with a big score of 2 to 2.

This year's duel will allow one of them to establish a temporary leading position.

Of course, Wei Xia hopes that he is the one who takes the lead.

The existence of James itself is the factor that urges Weixia to work hard, and with the encouragement of Elaine, he will naturally prepare for the game wholeheartedly.

The 76ers and the Cavaliers played against each other during the regular season, which belonged to the dominant side.

Although the Cavaliers are the Big Three, James holds the ball, Irving is a pure assassin and offensive player, players like Love will play a prominent role in a bad team, the data explodes, and he can't win the ball, and then a large number of fans will pity him.

James doesn't pay much attention to the regular season. Irving and Love have obvious flaws. The 76ers who are more committed will often win the regular season.

The playoffs are a different world.

The Cavaliers, as the outside world thought, under the leadership of James, transformed into the playoffs.

In the first two rounds, the Cavaliers played a historic offensive, but at first glance it was two 4-0, but the promotion process was more thrilling.The first and fourth games against the Pistons were played to the last moment; against the Eagles, three of the four games were still behind in the fourth quarter.Of course, James dominated the offense steadily, and the team put pressure on the ball from a perimeter and won.

In the first two rounds, the Cavaliers staged a historic three-point performance. In addition to James' far-sighted transfer of the ball and the team's excellent touch, it also included several underestimated adjustments by Tyronn Lue:

They put Frye on the field as the third long man, let him open the space;

When counterattacking, a large number of three-line fast downs and positional offenses focus on the periphery. With James' breakthrough threat and historical-level ability to find space, let his shooters make three-pointers;
A lot of pick-and-roll cuts; James took over in a timely manner, and then assigned Irving's offense with the ball and Love's pick-and-roll cuts to operate efficiently.

Therefore, the Cavaliers have many offensive options, and they are gorgeous and boundless. The smoothness of half-court transfers looks like the Warriors in the East.

But the price to be paid is that the Cavaliers' mid-range defense and weak-side backdoor defense are unstable.

It's just a coincidence.

After Kobe got old, there were still two players in the league whose mid-range jumpers could kill people.

One is Durant and the other is Wei Xia.

In terms of offensive tricks alone, Wei Xia far surpassed Durant.

Moreover, the 76ers have the best inside cut master in the East-this is Gordon Hayward's forte.

In the afternoon, Hayward and Wei Xia formed a momentum of mutual explosion in the match.

When he gets his touch, he can hit threes from anywhere.

His state made people's eyes straight.

"If you are in this state in tonight's game, I will treat you to a meal for a month!" Cousins ​​seemed to be playing a rogue. "If you are not in this state tonight, then you have to treat me to dinner for two months!"

This is a heartless bastard, no one wants to be serious with him.

Hayward was up for the challenge.

But he traded the bet on the treat for a meal allowance.

If anyone loses, give the other party a month's meal allowance.

Cousins ​​agreed.

Then, the time came to night.

The narrator takes his place first.

TNT Big Three Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson are already in place.

The Phu Quoc Center is preparing for the pre-match bell-ringing ceremony.

Today's bell is different from the past, and there are Easter eggs.

According to the idea of ​​the organizer, after the Liberty Bell is rung, the lights of the Phu Quoc Center will be extinguished instantly, and the special effect of fireworks blooming will be created through the central screen.

Before the game started, they were about to help the 76ers make their mark.

Wei Xia entered the field with his teammates.

He saw that his parents were already in place. Wei Mingliang and Mei Chen were both wearing 76ers cheering T-shirts and carrying cheering tools.

People sitting in the family area generally don't bring these.

It's not that they don't want to cheer for their families, but it's an unspoken rule.

It is not so easy to cheer the players with tools, which is a natural thing for the home audience.Especially those who are very close to the court and may be directed to close-up at any time.They don't want to be assimilated into fans. If they want to put on airs, they can't play these things like ordinary fans.

Wei Xia's family doesn't have so many rules. They have all the tools and everything they need to bring.

"I really don't want to run into you here."

Then, James said contradictoryly: "But I am very happy to meet you here again, do you know why?"

Wei Xia took the liberty to say, "Because you're schizophrenic."

"No, Wish." James suddenly became murderous, "Because I want to defeat you personally, just like you did three years ago, the throne has been played for too long!"

For James, who was in the second grade suddenly, all Wei Xia can say is: "Then I wish you good luck, LeBron."

He and James each returned to the backcourt to shoot.

Dr. J makes his fourth appearance as the Bell Ringer.

He was wearing an elegant suit, holding a small hammer, and smiling like a gentleman.

when!
With a sound, the lights in Fuguo Center suddenly went out.

Then there was the sound of firecrackers, and then, the central screen perfectly presented the scene of fireworks in the sky according to the way the designer conceived.

Fans in the City of Friendship cheered excitedly and cheered for the home team.

With the fancy pre-match show over, all preparations have been completed, and the rest can only be handed over to the players.

The players of the 76ers can feel the sincerity of the home court from this pre-match show, and at the same time, it also gave them the determination and belief to win.

"Don't double LeBron! Don't double LeBron! Don't double LeBron!"

Before the game begins, the head coaches of both sides will give final instructions.

Wright repeated the sentence three times.

Don't double-team LeBron.

All teams that want to beat the Cavaliers know this truth, and the Eagles in the semifinals taught everyone a lesson.

They double-teamed James for three consecutive games.

Then it was only in the second half of the fourth game that I realized: Oh no, you can't double-team him!

But at that time, it was too late to discover this matter. It was meaningless to double-team James to prevent him from scoring. The scary thing about James was that he moved the ball across the court.

So Wright will continue to urge: Don't double-team LeBron!
His passing is much scarier than his singles!
There was no suspense in the opening ball, Cousins ​​won.

Rondo took the ball to the frontcourt and gave it directly to Wei Xia.

Wei Xia took the ball, and the defender in front of him was neither James nor Iman Shumpert, but Matthew Dellavedova.

This person is not the best candidate to defend Wei Xia in terms of size and physical fitness.

Why did the knight let him come?
Wei Xia soon had an answer.

For his first attack, he chose to break through Dellavedova head-on.

Even if the opponent can't defend, he won't give him a chance to pass easily.In an instant, Dellavedova left scratches on Wei Xia's body.

It's just that the scratches can't stop Wei Xia's attack.

He's completely penetrated, and Tristan Thompson's help area isn't as big as his athleticism would allow.

Wei Xia scored an easy layup.

2 is better than 0
"Can I ask you something?" Wei Xia raised his arm that was scratched by Delavidova and said, "Please pick some hidden places to attack."

In fact, he is not ignorant of Dellavedova.

He played against each other last year, but this year he got to know him more deeply through an article on the Internet.Judging by that article, this is a man worthy of respect.

However, this year's meeting ceremony for this person whom Wei Xia considered worthy of respect was just a scratch, and it was very likely just the beginning.

Perhaps it is not advisable to take a peek at the leopard?

As an NBA player, he would rather be ridiculed by his teammates than pack the things from the restaurant and go home to prove that he is extremely frugal.

Well, if that article is true.

The Cavaliers have a quick backhand.

James calls a pick-and-roll, rushes, encounters a defense change, and has already seen a little opportunity for Love to appear in his eyes.

His pass to the left corner.

Outside the three-point line, Odom, the defender in front of Love, didn't have close defense. He wanted to try his hand, so he shot.

"Shh!"

3 is better than 2
Cousins ​​picked up the ball and was going to send it to Rondo normally, but suddenly he saw Hayward go down.

"Shit!"

Cousins ​​passed the ball hard.

The Cavaliers' counterattack is fast enough, and the 76ers are even faster.

This time reproduced the blitzkrieg of the Suns that year, and the blitzkrieg of the year was famous for ending the battle within seven seconds, while the 76ers only took three seconds.

Hayward received the ball in the frontcourt and decisively shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

"Shh!"
