NBA villain

Chapter 715 Cleveland One
"The opponent has a better offense. We did a good job on the defensive end, but we still need to further develop our advantages."

Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown said after the game.

At the same time, Mike Brown affirmed the excellent teamwork of the Warriors. Our experience, we still need to make some changes."

Mike Brown implied that he vaguely excused the novice players of the Cavaliers. After all, the Cavaliers are all rookies who have never played in the finals.

Lost to the Warriors away, everyone thought the Cavaliers paid tuition for their youth.

And when the Cavaliers' players adjust to the Finals, there should be a period of strong rebound.

The American media is still full of confidence in the Cavaliers. Once the Cavaliers enter the state, their combat power will be very terrifying. In the last round against the Pistons, they lost two games and then won four games in a row, which fully proves that at this point.

On the Warriors side, they still maintained a routine silence after the end of the G1 game.

The two sides only have one day off, and the G2 battle will be held on the night of the third day. At this time, the San Francisco area has entered the busiest month of the year.

There are tourists from all over the world in the streets and alleys, with different skin colors playing and consuming in the same land.

As a dazzling pearl on the West Coast, San Francisco has the charm of a big city like Los Angeles in June.

High-rise buildings, sunshine, coast, sandy beach.

Open the curtains, as if you can embrace this warm city.

Unconsciously, the playoffs have been played for a month and a half. The intensity of the playoffs is higher. Although the rest time has become longer, the players still feel a little tired.

But the spirit is high, and every player is working hard to achieve the goal of winning the championship.

In the afternoon of the next day, in the Oracle Arena, the Warriors were training for the G2 battle.

Liu Qiying from Chaotingtai came to the scene again, got a warrior pass, and when the training was about to end, she walked into the venue and interviewed Yang Di.

I haven't seen her for a while, but Liu Qiying has matured a lot, and her smile is still the iconic crescent smile. The microphone was handed to Yang Di's mouth, and she sat down calmly, and there was a burst of fragrance immediately.

"What are you asking today, big beauty."

Yang Di was also very familiar with her, so he laughed and teased her, and stretched out his hand to shake her lightly.

"Just chatting casually, mainly about the voices outside the stadium during the finals. You know, fans not only pay attention to the performance of the stars on the field, but also have a lot to do with the off-field life of the players."

"I'm not living off the court, at most it's normal training, right? It's something every NBA player will go through."

"That's not every NBA player has the opportunity to play in the NBA Finals, right?"

Yang Di was very happy with what Liu Qiying said at the beginning, and laughed out loud, noncommittal.

Afterwards, after the cameraman finished adjusting, Liu Qiying formally began to question Yang Di.

"In terms of usual training, how long does it usually last, and what changes in the playoffs?"

"The usual training volume will be higher. Generally, if it is training on a rest day, we may have to train for 3 to 5 hours, but when it comes to the finals, when preparing for the finals, the training volume will be relatively small. Maintain sufficient physical fitness to cope with high-resistance competitions."

Yang Di paused, and Liu Qiying looked at him with wide eyes, motioning him to continue.

He thought for a while, and then continued: "Like in the playoffs, we will conduct some targeted tactical training, and during the regular season, daily training also includes quality development, that is, physical fitness development, strength, speed There will be high-intensity training in all aspects of jumping."

"How long is the playoff training?"

"Preparation for training usually does not exceed 2 hours. In fact, it is just to concentrate and let us find the feel. Just like an exam, every big exam, there will always be no more questions. Generally, it is just a few more questions. The previous wrong questions, looking for the feeling, the effort should be spent in the usual time."

"What are your plans after the finals?"

"What's your plan?" Yang Di was stunned, and then suddenly remembered the agreement with Nancy, "Maybe I will go to some places for a vacation and rest. After playing for a season, I am still quite tired. By the way, maybe Doing some street racing, but not formal racing."

Liu Qiying immediately understood the implication of what Yang Di said, she smiled, and then continued to ask: "What kind of competitions will the street competitions be?"

"I haven't thought about this yet. For example, some local leagues in Los Angeles and San Francisco will not last too long. Usually they will end in a week or so, and the intensity will not be too high."

Liu Qiying smiled, nodded frequently, interacted with Yang Di, and then asked some off-court questions. Generally speaking, it was a bit related to the game, but it was not all about the content of the game. A simple little interview.

On June 6, the two sides played a G10 match.

The adjusted and returning Cavaliers challenged the Warriors again at Oracle Arena.

Everyone is looking forward to the Cavaliers regrouping and another battle with the Warriors in Golden State. The Warriors naturally stand at a higher place, and James is more like a lone hero.

The Pistons are the behemoth that James has defeated before, and the Warriors are the ultimate big devil.

The highly imaginative American media dubbed James the "little emperor" and regarded the entire Warriors team as villains.

James played very actively at the beginning of the game. First, the inside attack caused Yang Di to foul, and then on the basis of Yang Di's foul and the decline in the deterrence of the penalty area, he continued to attack the Warriors inside, causing a lot of trouble for the Warriors.

But in this game, the Warriors were very accurate from the outside. Ray Allen made 4 of 4 three-pointers in the first quarter, helping the Warriors lead the Cavaliers by 31 points 24 to 7.

Ray Allen was very hot with three-pointers. He made 8 of 7 shots at halftime and scored 25 points.

At this time, he had already broken the record for three-pointers in the half of the Finals.

The previous record for three-pointers in the half of the NBA Finals was held by Michael Jordan. In the 1992 Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers finals, the basketball god Jordan hit six three-pointers in the first half; Nick Smith also made six three-pointers in Game 1995 of the [-] Finals against the Orlando Magic.

The highest single-game record is 7 three-pointers, which were set by Pippen in the third game of the 1997 Finals and Rockets champion shooter Kenny Smith in the first game of the 1995 Finals.

At the end of the half, the Warriors had led the Cavaliers by 61 points 48 to 13, and Ray Allen took the main credit.

Ray Allen's touch dropped in the second half, and the Cavaliers took a strict defense. In the second half, he took 3 shots and hit 1. He made 11 of 8 three-pointers in the game.

Ray Allen restrained a large number of defensive centers from the outside, and Yang Di gave himself what he wanted on the inside. He scored 17 points in a single quarter in the final quarter, adding to the icing on the cake for the Warriors.

In the end, Ray Allen led the Warriors to a 32-114 victory over the Cavaliers with 100 points and won Game 2.
