super small forward

Chapter 546 546. James

Even the Cavaliers fans have to admit that they have nothing to do against the Lakers this year. They are just unlucky, just as unlucky as Liu Ren's original Cavaliers in time and space, but luckily changed from the Warriors to the Lakers That's all.

Look at the Cavaliers defeating the Warriors in the 15-16 season. Although it was extremely difficult to win and the Jedi came back, it also proved that the Cavaliers could not lose to the Warriors with 73 wins even if the Lakers won 73 wins. The Warriors are slightly stronger, but if all the Cavaliers are healthy, they can make a comeback.

Two games in Los Angeles and one game in Cleveland. The main theme of the first three games is James' No. 23 VS Kobe's No. 24... plus the entire Lakers.

In the words of Steve Kerr, the Lakers are stinky and shameless, without the spirit of a hero at all. They also double-team and pass the ball in the legendary matchup.

With a brisk 17-[-], the Lakers averaged [-] points per game over the Cavaliers in the first three games, basically winning without any suspense.

On June 6, the second away game of the Lakers series, the fourth game of the series, is about to start at the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland.

Just yesterday, the postponed NBA lottery still started. Originally, Adam Silva wanted to drag it until the end of the finals, but those lottery teams are already going crazy. The draft will start on the 26th. They go to think for ten days?
The playoff teams are also anxious. They are still waiting for the lottery team to pass on who they want to pick first, so they can pick the rest.

Since the Lakers won the league's first record, this year's draft picks were also traded out. The No. 30 pick in the first round was given to the Suns, and the Suns traded him to the 76ers. The second round pick was traded to McColler I spent my time with James and gave it to the Trail Blazers. This year's draft has nothing to do with the Lakers. Of course, if there is a second-round pick they like, the Lakers will still spend money to buy a second-round pick.

In this regard, some fans made fun of Nash, who spent the Lakers' two first rounds and an 800 million trade exception to return. Nash chatted with the fans without blushing.

Just kidding, leading the opponent 3-0, and soon to win the championship that he dreamed of in his 19-year career, what's the point of joking?
It was the Timberwolves who got the No. 76 pick. The 76ers were a tragedy. The Lakers left the bottom of the league and did not grab their No. [-] pick.

The Bucks are even more unlucky. They have the second-to-last record in the league and only get the fourth overall pick. Kidd is a worry. There are many good players in this year's draft, but the one who can really be called a superstar is Tang Adams, Russell, Okafor, although the others are good, they don't seem to have the potential to be cultivated as the core. Now Kidd points to Antetokounmpo or Green to be able to fancy them. The positions of the two really overlap, but now both of them are on the rise, and it's not yet time to show their peak...

At 16 p.m. on the 7th, at the Quicken Loans Center, James sat on the bench with an aggrieved face, and the entire Cavaliers were gloomy.

James knew that there was nothing going on, he had already prepared himself, but seeing the Lakers talking and laughing, he was not happy, even though his relationship with Liu Ren was not as bad as the outside world rumored, it was even good, Liu Ren also invited him to play in the training hall at home. Although it was very boring to play game consoles, it was an increasingly exaggerated boss field in the NBA. People from other teams in the NBA except the Lakers were invited to play. It's Bel who has face, which is why Thompson will always be there on time when he is invited, even if he is pissed to death by Liu Ren many times, even uninvited.

Liu Ren himself didn't know how his little broken training hall became that strangely named boss domain.

In short, some people spread it very exaggeratedly, saying that if they go there to train, they will tap their full potential just like Liu Ren.

Do not believe?

Look at Clarkson's second-round pick, look at McCollum, look at Antetokounmpo, a 19-year-old kid, look at Whiteside, a model of a prodigal son, look at Green...

When Liu Ren heard Thackeray say that Xia Kelei wanted to go to his house for training, he asked Thackeray why. He was stupefied when he heard these things Thackeray said. He almost believed it. up.

But Liu Ren still rejected Thackeray's request to play in his house for a long time.

Just kidding, where did this guy come to train?Every time I come here I drink!a summer?Liu Ren estimated that he was going to be drunk.

Seeing that the Lakers are talking about the summer, and they don't shy away from how loud they are, just chatting like that, the fans on the scene are also very quiet, although they support their team, now no matter the cheers Still booing, they don't want to send out, they just want to greet the end of this season quietly with their team.

Fans actually have the simplest idea, win and cheer together, lose and go to the end together...

James is very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable, he hates this feeling, he can't accept this feeling of powerlessness, just like he risked the whole world to scold and join the Heat, he wants to win!As long as it is not a matter of principle, he can do everything he can!

Falling behind 0 to 3 in the playoffs, there is a huge gap between the team's lineup and the opponent's, and the team doesn't even have a decent head coach, David Blatt?James may admit that he is a good coach, at least he has done a good job in adjusting his physical fitness, but that's all. With a lineup like the Cavaliers, changing coaches will not make a difference, let alone there are still games Coach James himself.

After the fiasco in the first game, the rest of the Cavaliers were already in despair. The teammates in the second and third games were all broken. Although James played very well and had a good time with Kobe, they all lost!

Now James doesn't want to mess around, he just wants to win, even if it's just one game!
James called his teammates together.

"Do you want to go fishing with the shame of being swept away?"

After hesitating for a while, everyone still replied: "No!"

"Everyone thinks we should be swept, but I don't think, even if we lose, we have to lose beautifully! Now there is no Kyrie, no Kevin, so everyone else has to stand up. At this moment, we are all in this team The protagonist of the team, we have to defend our dignity by ourselves!" James felt that it was almost enough to say here: "Let's go, even if we will be eliminated in three hours, we must protect our dignity in front of the home fans ! Come on, kill them!"

James is a successful speaker. He used the atmosphere of the scene and his expression very well, and successfully aroused the last breath of arrogance of the underdogs of the Cavaliers.

"Kill them!" Everyone in the Cavaliers showed a completely different momentum from the previous three games. Usually, the role players of the Cavaliers don't have the chance to become the protagonists. Their first reaction is to rely on James, Irving, Love, and James. These words successfully activated them, even if it was only this scene!
The head coach of the Cavaliers, David Blatt, still has such skills. In fact, he is a pretty good coach, but there is a little bit of a lack, but in terms of tactical ability, he is really good.

Seeing that the players were ignited by James' words, David Blatt also rekindled his fighting spirit, and quickly arranged tactics, which are usually used for training. As for the tactics against the Lakers...well, let James play against David- Blatter's dissatisfaction lies in the fact that the tactics he arranged in the first three games could not even run.

One of the regular tactics of the Cavaliers is James' best defensive counterattack and brisk pick-and-roll offense.

Anyway, it's going to be a fight. The Cavaliers naturally choose the style of play that James is best at, and create opportunities for James as much as possible. Today's main theme is offense!
The Lakers played with a relaxed mind. It seems to them that the Cavaliers have no chance of struggling, and they want to sweep!

This is a fierce to tragic game!
From the beginning, the Cavaliers were not to be outdone, and played against the Lakers.

The Cavaliers started with a brisk lineup, with Mozgov, a slow and unable to jump floor player, put on the bench, Dellavedova, Sefrosa, James, Sean Marion, Terry Stan Thompson, don't the Lakers often learn from the Warriors to play the dead five?Their Cavaliers also learn from it!

Although Sean Marion is old, he is still sharp, and he is faster and has longer hands than Green. He cuts to the basket with long arms and holds the ball to the basket.

Dellavedova is desperate, and Tristan Thompson also risked being swung by Whiteside's arm to rub against Whiteside, and even Sefulosa rushed to the basket...

The lineup of the Cavaliers is simply desperate, rushing towards the basket and running back outside...

Especially James, James worked hard this time!Treat yourself as a dynamite bag, hit the inside and create opportunities for your teammates.

With James fighting like this, the rest of the Cavaliers naturally refused to lag behind and kept hitting the basket.

The Lakers are obviously not prepared enough. Who would have thought that the Cavaliers would suddenly go all out, and the Cavaliers seemed to have given up treatment in the second and third games!

The Lakers trailed the Cavaliers by four or five points at the start of the game.

It's only four or five points, the old problem of the Lakers is like this, the aristocratic disease has occurred again, and the start is behind... Then let him fall behind, anyway, he will catch up after a while.

No, in the second quarter, Dellavedova, who was the most desperate on the Cavaliers side, was replaced by Joe Harris. The fierce second team tied the score in twos and threes, but with the efforts of James and Tristan Thompson, the scores of the two sides have been biting!
After the second lineup came up, the opponent was still biting the score. The Lakers were a little surprised. The Cavaliers exploded with strength that no one expected, which shocked the young Lakers players. They did not expect James to lead this group. Not even a team composed of high-quality role players can play such a powerful game. This game is a bit difficult to play!
But it's hard to play, it's only the second quarter... This is the mentality of the Lakers players, including Kobe and Liu Ren, or these two guys are the most proud, if they don't sit on the sidelines "talking", "Bashing" each other, the others are not so relaxed.

Then in the third quarter, the Lakers found that... they couldn't hold back!Can't hold back the Cavaliers' desperate play!After James' foot cramped, he asked the trainer to press it a few times to continue playing, which made the Cavaliers' morale even higher. After playing hard, the Lakers were completely overwhelmed and could only bite the score hard!
This game was countless times more fierce than expected before the game, and the ratings continued to rise from the beginning, and the ratings were actually higher than the first game of the Lakers and Cavaliers finals when the fans' dreams came true!
James broke through to the basket again and again, facing the double-teaming of Liu Ren, Green, Kobe, and Whiteside, he threw his body like a bomb to attract the opponent's attention, and then passed the ball to the teammate who ran back. Let the team add two points.

Breaking through again and again, throwing himself out to pass the ball and grab rebounds again and again, James continued to play the same Iron Man game as before, but this time it seemed extremely tragic.

Driven by James, the Cavaliers still clenched the score in the fourth quarter.

At the last moment, the Cavaliers were 98 point behind 99 to 1, with 21 seconds left, and the Cavaliers had the ball!
No one would have thought that the game would reach this level. The performance of the players in this Cavaliers team won the respect of the opponents, and also won the respect of all the fans in front of the TV, even the Lakers fans!
On the last attack, James was panting heavily, and seemed to be dribbling to the last moment.

Facing Liu Ren's pursuit, James shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc. Just like the playoff lore that eliminated the Bulls, the ball fell into the basket at the same time as the game ended!

35 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists, James triple-double plus lore!Refuse to be swept away!
