Chapter 125 Let's Play Some Presence

The results of the third game came out. James and Owen once again showed their miracles. The two scored 78 points together, rewriting the big score to 2:1.

All members of the Cavaliers played well, especially Irving's 40+ burst, which completely tore apart the Raptors' proud defense and helped James win the crucial second victory.

After the game, the media and fans questioned DeRozan at its peak.

"It's over, it's over, what happened in the past two years will repeat itself... LeBron is poisonous, and DeRozan is the only one."

"Actually, the Raptors played very well, but why did they still lose?"

"James is so strong, he doesn't look like a 34-year-old at all."

"Irving is also very strong. The Raptors can be regarded as the top defensive team in the league. There is nothing they can do about Irving."

"I think the Raptors' point guard is too bad. Whether it's Van Vleet or Ge Feng, they are not Irving's opponents."

Losing at home, all members of the Raptors were greatly questioned by the outside media.

There are two days of rest before the fourth game. The Raptors really need time to solve the problem of atmosphere.

Their core DeRozan is not in the state, and the Raptors really don't know how to play the next game.

The deterioration of the situation was more complicated than Ge Feng expected.

In a training match, DeRozan and Lowry almost had a fight because of a dispute.

The teammates persuaded the two to come down, but there was already a gap between the two brothers.

The fourth game is still the home of the Raptors, and it is still an inevitable loss.

The Cavaliers took the lead in getting the match point, leading the Raptors 3:1.

After the game, James said in an interview: "They will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals at their home court."

Compared with the confident Cavaliers, the morale of the Raptors has completely fallen and underestimated.

In the fourth game, the cooperation between DeRozan and Lowry on the court decreased, and the lethality of the two guns naturally became lower.

Although the level of James and Irving dropped a lot in the fourth game, the Raptors still couldn't escape the fate of losing.

Ge Feng's performance picked up in the fourth game, but DeRozan's lethality could not keep up, and no matter how accurate Ge Feng was, it would be hard to recover.

With a 1:3 desperate situation, the Raptors returned to the Cavaliers' home court again.

For them, this game is almost equivalent to an abyss.

If the Raptors lose again, they will really be defeated by James for three consecutive years.

At that time, the media will give a big greeting to the Raptors composed of DeRozan and Lowry.

Cleveland Quicken Loans Arena, countless Cavaliers fans are ready to welcome the Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference Finals at any time.

The Barkley Big Three in the live broadcast room were also talking freely.

"Since the Cavaliers lost the first game, they have completely found the weakness of the Raptors. For three consecutive games, James turned into a Dragon Knight and gave the Raptors a blow." Smith gave James the title of Dragon Warrior through his excellent performance in these three games.

Barkley also echoed and said: "In the first game, the Raptors also showed us some new things. What happened to the Raptors? DeRozan played very well in these two games, averaging only 24 points per game. You must know that this is the small ball era. As the core of the team, averaging 24 points per game is obviously unqualified."

The big shark talked eloquently: "Dude, I have been teammates with James, and I know this little brother too well. He obviously wants to end the Raptors in this game. The Cavaliers, who have won three consecutive victories, are far better than the Raptors in terms of lineup depth and confidence. I see this game, and the Raptors are really hanging."

Raptors fans listened to the analysis of the Big Three and felt their hearts sink to the bottom.

They are ready to accept three years in a row under the iron heel of James.

Another 4:1 game.

The Raptors were eliminated by the Cavaliers 4:2 and 4:0 in the first two years respectively. I thought that two potential rookies would join this year, and the Raptors would have an unexpected chemical reaction. I didn't expect that they would end up with a 4:1 hastily.

Director Zhang and Teacher Yang Yi in China are also very sad. Is the only domestic player in the NBA going to be eliminated like this?

As the game kicked off, James displayed an unusually strong determination.

In the first half, James made sudden shots and scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists. The data was very explosive.

The Cavaliers also led the Raptors by 13 points in the first half.

Fans in the Quicken Loans Arena have taken out the fireworks prepared in advance, ready to celebrate the promotion of the Cavaliers at any time.

During the halftime break, the faces of all the Raptors players were gloomy.

Head coach Nurse is at the end of his rope.

After the previous Raptors coach Casey dismissed get out of class, Nurse was unable to get a chance to prove himself for a long time.

It has been less than two years since Nurse took over the Raptors. If the Raptors lose this game, he will soon be reduced to the same end as Casey, that is, he will be abandoned by the management without hesitation.

Things have developed to this point, Nas no longer wants to arrange tactics for players.

"DeRozan, you attacked the basket more in the second half, Ge Feng, you started the second half, and Lowry opened up the three-pointer.

In the next game, I will not arrange tactics for you. Don’t be afraid of losing. I can accept losing or winning tonight, but you must play a sense of presence.

You know, your future career is likely to be decided in this game.

Come on, for our common dream, let go of those damn distracting thoughts in your heart, and give the Cavaliers a good meal.

We are Raptors!We are not dragons, we don't need to fear knights! "

This is the first time Nas has given players chicken soup. Everyone knows that Nas has nothing to teach them.

But Nass was right in one thing.

We need to make our presence felt.

We must not be underestimated by the fans and the media.

Back in the second half, the Cavaliers still maintained the starting lineup of the first half.

For the Raptors, Van Fleet was off, and Ge Feng and Lowry became backcourt partners.

The Raptors' lineup is all about improving offense.

But James' state tonight is really good. If the current Cavaliers really fight to attack, they are no worse than the Raptors.

Nurse obviously knew this too, but he didn't care.

Now he just wants the players to play at a price that matches their strength. This may be the only thing he can do for these children who get along day and night before he leaves get out of class.

Back in the second half, the Raptors went first.

In the classic elevator door tactic, DeRozan went inside, attracted double-teams and crossed the ball to Ge Feng who ran out of the open space in double gear.

Ge Feng received the ball and completed the shot before the defensive opponent threw it out.

After more than ten playoff games, Ge Feng's rapid three-pointer has made a new breakthrough.

This shot, Ge Feng didn't even expect to have a rebound, so he went back to the backcourt to defend.

"Shh-"

The sound of the basketball slamming the net was transmitted to the ears of every fan on the scene through the loudspeaker.

Cavaliers fans suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
