Chapter 294 Don't Let Loyalty Kill You

In the third game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers, James really adopted Li Du's suggestion. He began to no longer believe that his teammates could throw the ball in. When the Celtics double-teamed him, he only needed one Pass the ball out and immediately start running, looking for another chance to catch the ball, and then rushing into the Celtics inside like a mad cow.

The rest of the Cavaliers were even more obedient at this time. As soon as James asked for the ball, they immediately passed the ball to him. Davis and others went shopping inside.

Li Du and the rest of the Warriors sat around in the video analysis room of the training hall, watching the game.Seeing that James worked so hard, but with little effect, Li Du sighed. The Cavaliers will definitely lose. Even if James is hardworking, he can't afford this kind of consumption.

And the most terrible thing is that on the offensive end, James can go shopping with the Celtics alone, but on the defensive end, there is no way. The Celtics' Big Three take turns to show off. They caught up.

Yao Ming looked at the game, and he also sighed. Shaquille O'Neal, who used to be a monster in the NBA, is now showing his old age and losing his fighting spirit. In addition to making the Celtics dare not directly attack the Cavaliers Outside of the internal line, there is no use!
"It's too late for a hero!" Yao Ming sighed heavily, "It seems that our opponent in the finals has been determined."

The rest of the Warriors also agreed with Yao Ming's point of view. Indeed, at this point in the game, James alone has no power to recover. O'Neal is really old, and he is no longer the unstoppable Superman.Under the siege of the Celtics Big Three and the grown-up Rondo, the Cavaliers are likely to lose the Eastern Conference Finals by a big score of 1 to 4. Or the Celtics.

"If the opponent is the Celtics, it's really not easy for us. We have to think of a way!" Li Du sighed lightly. He saw that James was desperately struggling. He could clearly feel his mood through the TV screen.

It is precisely because of the helpless situation that James is isolated and helpless, and then looking back at his teammates, Li Du has never felt like today, how happy it is to have such a group of reassuring teammates one thing.

The Cavaliers eventually lost the game. The scene of James walking back to the player tunnel with his head down, is full of emotion.After losing this game, the big score of the two teams became 2 to 1, with the Celtics leading, and if nothing else, it will become 3 to 1, 4 to 1.
After the old Nelson sent everyone home, he sat alone in the office and began to think about how to deal with the Celtics.

Compared with the lineup, the Celtics still have a slight advantage over the Warriors, especially in the two positions of power forward and small forward.The power forward and small forward of the Celtics are Garnett and Pierce respectively. Both of them are out-and-out superstars with excellent offense and defense.The Warriors' power forwards can only send Radmanovic and Turiaf.At the small forward position, the Warriors can only use Lagabel. Of course, Li Du can also be used as a small forward position, but in that case, among the guards, who will chase and defend Ray Allen?
The terrible thing about the Celtics is here. No matter which team they face, they have an advantage in the lineup. The only team that can compare with them in the lineup may be the Lakers. The Warriors are still slightly almost.

At this time, it is too important to choose the correct defensive strategy and offensive tactics for the team.With the right choice, the Warriors can give full play to their strengths, and Nelson has a high chance of winning his first championship ring as a coach in the Warriors.If the choice is wrong, even with players like Li Du and Yao Ming who are perfect in their positions, the Warriors are likely to lose the finals!
This is a test for old Nelson, but also the best opportunity!Old Nelson himself can hardly imagine whether he can still meet the current team's lineup in his lifetime.

When Nelson was worried about how to deal with the Celtics, the Cavaliers lost the rest of the game without any suspense. The Celtics finally defeated the Cavaliers 4-1 and joined forces with the Warriors finals.

After the game, James called Li Du. As soon as Li Du picked it up, James said something to Li Du abruptly: "Kevin Garnett told me something, which made me very tangled."

"What?" Li Du asked.

James imitated Garnett's tone and said: "Don't let loyalty kill you!"

Li Du immediately understood what Garnett meant, and also understood why James was entangled. Moreover, Li Du, who had experienced the time when Garnett was about to leave the Timberwolves, understood better that Garnett's words were not to provoke the relationship between James and the team. , but sent out with emotion.

In fact, the experiences of Garnett and James are very similar.He is also a high school player, he is also the favorite of heaven, he is equally versatile, and he has also fought alone in the same team for seven or eight years.Garnett fought desperately for the Timberwolves, and finally chose to join the Celtics with Ray Allen to form the Big Three.

Facts have proved that Garnett's choice is correct. They reached the finals in the first year of forming the Big Three. If they hadn't met Kobe with Li Du's help, they might have won the championship in the first year.And even though they lost to the Lakers in the first year and last season when Li Du was injured and traded, they still got their wish and won the championship they had always dreamed of.

That's why Garnett said "don't let loyalty kill you" to James, who was in almost the same situation as him before. He really didn't want to see James spend his entire career in this kind of invisible Hope for the team.

Li Du didn't know what to say, so he asked, "Then what do you think?"

James seemed to be in more pain at this time than when he lost. He sighed and said, "I don't know, Lee, what do you think I should do?"

Of course, Li Du couldn't give any advice, he could only say: "I think you'd better discuss it with your agent. And, even if you really want to leave the Cavaliers, have you decided which team to go to? You can’t go wrong this time, you must choose a team that can help you hit the championship!”

Li Du's last words seemed to wake James up, and he said again and again: "Yes, yes! You are right! I think, I have an idea!" After a pause, James said to Li Du: "Li, I wish you If we can win the championship, next season, we will see you in the finals!"
