I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 408 Tie-break!The last game!
5 month 30 number.

Quicken Loans Center Arena.

The final game of the Indiana Pacers-Cleveland Cavaliers series.

tiebreaker.

This round of the series was full of drama.

From being pessimistic about the Pacers at the beginning, to suddenly winning the match point 3-2, and then to the referee directing "a good show" in the last game, after six games, it is no longer just a confrontation of strength.

Today is the last game.

This round of the series, which has attracted countless attention, is coming to an end today, and there is bound to be a winner.

Is it a knight?
Or the Pacers?
I still do not know yet!

I really don't know!
knight?

Not necessarily!
Pacers?
Not necessarily!
Up to now, no one dares to say who will stand out in the end.

This is not only a test of strength, but also a test of luck!

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.

Today is TNT's national live broadcast.

The commentary trio is already in place and chatting now.

Of course, the topic of the game cannot be without the good show directed by the referee last time.

"To be honest, Kenny, I was shocked when I saw the official punishment given by the league." Barkley said with a funny face.

"What's the matter, Charles?" Kenny Smith asked curiously.

"This punishment." Barkley paused, and said bitterly: "This punishment is too heavy! It shouldn't be the weight they should bear at their age!"

"Hahahaha," O'Neill next to him was amused, and Kenny Smith also smiled.

True hermaphrodite.

No matter how you say this yin and yang language, you have to go up to the eighth level of professionalism.

"You know, Kenny, I even wanted to write a letter to the league, asking them to take back that penalty decision. After all, it was too cruel, wasn't it?"

Barkley's face was heavy, and his voice became low.

"Hahaha." O'Neal touched his bald head and laughed together.

This is too bad for Charles.

No wonder though.

Doing shameful things by yourself first, and patting your butt afterward is like calming down.

How can it be that simple.

"So, Kenny, do you think we can still see a good show in this game?"

"Probably not." Kenny Smith shook his head with a smile. "For Sir Charles's sake, this one should be normal. If there is another one, he probably won't be able to continue."

One cannot be two, let alone three.

If this happens again, that garbage will definitely be blown up.

Once is the limit.

"It's a battle of life and death. I don't know how the two teams will fight in the end. I'm excited now." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

"As long as the referee doesn't make trouble, I'll be fair to both sides, [-]-[-]."

Barkley wasn't inflated either, and what he said was to the point.

Fifty-five, he is actually a bit high.

The last game was the Pacers' home court. At that time, it was reasonable for the two teams to win [-]-[-], but now it is the Cavaliers' home court. To say that it is [-]-[-] is a bit flattering to the Pacers.

In such a game, home court advantage is too important.

Didn't you hear the deafening cheers all over the place?

There is as much cheer as there is pressure.

In such an unfavorable environment, the Pacers challenge opponents who are already stronger than them, and the chances of winning are very low.

"Everything depends on Xu Xuan." Barkley said something, which made Kenny Smith and O'Neill nod in agreement.

It's not that the Pacers have no chance of winning. On the contrary, everyone also thinks that the Pacers have a good chance of winning, but the premise is that Xu Xuan must stand up!

But can Xu Xuan stand up?

No one knows.

Looking at the data of Xu Xuan's previous dozen games, so far.

The Pacers played a total of 14 games. In these 14 games, Xu Xuan started every game, averaging nearly 47 minutes per game.

场均32.5分、5.7助攻、5.8篮板，此外还有0.6次抢断以及0.5次盖帽。

The shooting percentage was 46.9%, and the three-point shooting percentage was 41%.

Under such a high-intensity defense, Xu Xuan can still cut such statistics, which is simply outrageous.

Especially in these 6 games against the Cavaliers, Xu Xuan averaged 36.3 points per game!
36.3 points. Scary!

Whether it is Curry, Durant or the old man, they have all been crushed by Xu Xuan in terms of statistics.

But the data is important and not important.

Especially in this arena.

What is the difference between 36 points and 26 points?
There was only a 10-point gap, and everyone else came to make up for it.

So, in the end, it depends on how the two sides perform.

Before the game, Xu Xuan browsed his attribute panel again.

The diamond-level Westbrook's physical talent is shining. Relatively speaking, the three-point talent that has been advanced one step ahead of Westbrook's talent is now quiet.

It's hard enough to advance.

There are not as many games as Xu Xuan died in the past. It is estimated that the current physical talent is the same as the three-point talent, and it has not yet advanced.

Xu Xuan took a deep breath, and the pickled pepper beside him patted Xu Xuan's shoulder.

This is the first time Xu Xuan has entered the tie-break of the regional finals, but it is not the first time for pickled peppers.

As early as the 12-13 season, Paojiao, who was just in the third grade at that time, led the team to fight the Heat of the Big Three until the seventh game to decide the winner.

Six games in the 13-14 season, five games in the 14-15 season, and seven games this season!

How else can we say that the two sides have deep grievances?

Over the past few seasons, the two sides have played 24 games on the stage of the conference finals. This is not counting today's game. If today's game is counted, there are 25 games.

Before the start of the game, Frank Vogel gathered all the players and arranged them: "Let's arrange the tactics. The starting lineup list has been sent to the technical table. Today's starting lineup is still the same as before. Xu, CJ, Paul, PJ, and Javier. I don’t think I need to say more about the importance of today’s game. In this game, our strategy is the same as before. Don’t be burdened, don’t be pressured. If you lose, it’s mine. You guys After you go up, you only need to think about one thing—to kill those guys! You don’t need to deal with the rest, leave it to me, okay? Finish your own affairs, and leave the rest to me!”

Frank doesn't want players to play under pressure right now.

Although this is a lot of pressure, he would rather memorize it by himself and let the players let go to play.

This game is so important, it is so important that even breathing feels a little redundant.

"Come here, both sides are making the last wave of tactics before the game. The atmosphere is very tense. Although I was not there, I can still feel the tense atmosphere." Sports Channel, Yu Jia He and Zhang Lili are already in place.

The regional finals will still be commented in the studio, and they will go directly to the scene after the finals.

"I still have to introduce you to the starting lineup. For the Pacers, point guard Xu Xuan, shooting guard CJ Miles, small forward Paul George, power forward PJ Tucker, and center McGee. Regular starting lineup for the Pacers this season."

"As for the Cavaliers, point guard Irving, shooting guard JR Smith, small forward James, power forward Love, and center TT, neither side intends to change formations. Don't dare to move lightly first, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will lose the whole game."

Who dares to move now?

The head coaches on both sides are the kind that focus on stability, and they are not old silver coins like Nelson and Popovich.

Taoism is quite different.

After a while, the referee waved to both sides, and the game was about to start.

The Quicken Loans Center arena turned into a sea of ​​wine red when the starters on both sides slowly walked to the center of the field. For this tiebreaker, the Cavaliers officially prepared 2 sets of wine red cheering T-shirts. Everyone who came to watch the game at home Cavaliers fans will wear this T-shirt, turning the entire basketball stadium into wine red, like a super big dye vat.

The opening jump ball, I don't know if it was infected by the atmosphere of the scene or what, TT took off brazenly and won McGee, the first attack of the Cavaliers.

Owen steadily advanced to the frontcourt, controlling the rhythm.

The Cavaliers' offense is not complicated. As long as the ball is passed in the hands of three people, it is either him, or him, or him.

With this ball, the old man's sudden advance attracted attention, and Love, who was in the corner on the other side, got a chance and made a three-pointer.

The basketball flew towards the basket rapidly, and finally fell into the net.

There were bursts of cheers from the fans at the scene, let's go!The Cavaliers are off to a good start!

The Pacers sent out the baseline ball.

Xu Xuan directly dribbled the ball forward.

At the top of the arc, he didn't choose to pass to Paojiao, and attacked directly and decisively. The Pacers had to play fast.

Xu Xuan faced JR.

Xu Xuan asked his teammates to pull away.

Pickled Pepper pulled down on the right side, Miles stood in the bottom corner, and the inside line was stuck.

Xu Xuan reached out to cover.

McKee stepped up to block the old man.

Xu Xuan rushed past the old man.

to high.

TT make up defense.

Xu Xuan vs TT.

Xu Xuan kept changing hands and dribbling the ball.

Small hits and big dislocations are formed, and he can't pass.

TT stretched out his long arms, bent down and waited for the battle.

Xu Xuan dribbled behind his back twice in a row.

Suddenly there was a gesture to break through to the right.

The center of gravity of the TT is off.

Xu Xuan pulled back to the limit again.

One tug and one pull.

Directly staggered TT's footsteps and almost fell down.
Stand open at the free throw line.

Xu Xuan raised his hand and hit a middle distance——!
Swish!
Got it!

2 is better than 3!

The Cavaliers attack.

The old man hit the ball by himself.

Squeeze pickled peppers toughly in the frontcourt, break through and score the ball to Irving, and make a three-pointer from the outside.

If the Cavaliers had Irving holding the ball, he would have played the attack by himself. The old man had the ball, and he could have played by himself, or split the ball.

Xu Xuan stepped up to defend in time.

The ball was not open, and Owen shot it very reluctantly, because Xu Xuan was taller than him, which restricted his sight.

bang.

The goal was missed.

Tucker forcefully squeezed away James, who was picking up the leak, and passed the ball to Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan advanced with the ball.

In the front court, take a step to change the rhythm and pull it up directly——

fadeaway jumper --

The Cavaliers made two three-pointers in the opening game. The Pacers can't just watch.

It's a pity that JR defended the ball very resolutely, and directly hugged Xu Xuan, not giving him a chance to shoot.

Free throws, three times.

The referee was quick.

Xu Xuan took a look at these three new faces, why is the judgment so fast today?

Xu Xuan made two of three free throws and looked up at the sidelines.

It was indeed a bit noisy.

If this is at his own home court, it is very hopeful that he will make all three free throws.

However, 4 to 3, the Pacers still lead.

The Cavaliers sent out the baseline ball.

Facing this Cleveland Cavaliers, Xu Xuan dare not be careless at all
You must know that they are the "champions" of this season. The championship is the strongest team this year, and any miracle is possible.

In addition, the Cavaliers' overall lineup is more balanced than the Pacers.

The Pacers have no advantage in terms of players' current talent and strength, let alone mentality, tacit understanding, experience, tactics, coaches and other factors.

This made Xu Xuan extremely cautious.

He knew that this old man was going crazy for the championship!
The old man is still organizing the ball at the top of the arc.

Everyone in the Cavaliers pulled him away.

The old man took a step and pressed his body directly to break through.

Pickled Pepper was very familiar with his move, but the moment he rushed over, he still suffered a dull loss.

The chest hurts from being hit.

Tank mode!

The old man has been rolling from the three-point line to the inside.

What?You said walking?

nonexistent!

The one who walks is called LeBron, what does that have to do with James?
boom!
There was chaos around the basket.

Lao Zhan's impact was too strong. Seeing him rushing forward, both Tucker and McGee subconsciously wanted to defend.

Lao Zhan rushed to the inside with the ball and completed a backhand layup against Pickle's defense. The basketball dexterously got into the basket and went in!

"James also scored a layup, and the Cavaliers scored 2 points." Yu Jia reported the scoring situation on the court.

"This goal is completely personal ability. All the defenses that should be given have been given, and the goals that should be scored have also been scored. There is no problem."

4 to 5, the Cavaliers came back.

This game has entered into an anxious situation from the very beginning.

Pacers offense.

This ball James switched to Xu Xuan.

This is the pick and roll that Xu Xuan took the initiative to find.

Facing James, this is Xu Xuan's strategy for this game.

In any case, the old man is already turning four, and he has taken good care of himself, but there is still a difference between a 30-year-old and a 20-year-old.

After six consecutive fierce battles, the old man must be tired, just refer to Xu Xuan.

If it weren't for Westbrook's advanced talent, Xu Xuan would struggle to stand up now.

The old man is not as crazy as him, and his physical fitness may be reserved, but not too much.

As long as the Pacers find a way to kill the old man, the Cavaliers will be in disarray.

Xu Xuan's singles.

While dribbling the ball, Xu Xuan kept adjusting his rhythm and direction, changing directions several times to force the old man to move with him.

Consumption is the theme.

Not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end!
Before, they wanted to consume Xu Xuan to death, but now it's the other way around, Xu Xuan is thinking how to consume them to death!

Dribble, consume!
Dribble, consume!
Defend, consume!
Defend, consume!
Skillful.

James is playing the same idea.

If Xu Xuan is consumed to death, the Pacers will be gone?
Restriction is difficult, consumption can always be done!

This is a tug-of-war, and it depends on who kills who first.

But what the old man didn't know was that Xu Xuan had already quietly turned on the hanger.

Want to consume Xu Xuan to death?

nonexistent!

In this attack, Xu Xuan attacked 6 times, and James defended 6 times. It was only when the attack time was only 5 seconds left that Xu Xuan's side really attacked!
