Chapter 497 The Best Chance
Perhaps, everyone is feeling sorry for James.After all, he has reached the finals for 7 consecutive years, and everyone seems to be used to seeing him on this stage.It now appears that this record is likely to end there.

A few years ago, the Thunder would have been unwilling to meet James and his team.But this year, they want to see the Cavaliers reverse the game.There is no more perfect championship experience than back-to-back wins over the Warriors and Cavaliers.After all, these two teams have been the strongest teams in the East and West in recent years.Moreover, both the Warriors and James were the Thunder's former sufferers.One reversed the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, causing Durant to leave, and the Thunder almost disintegrated; the other defeated them cleanly in the finals of the "Three Young Era".Although the changes on both sides are very big now, if Lei Ting defeats the other party under such circumstances, it can be regarded as a perfect end for himself in the past few years.

"I think our final opponent will be LeBron. His performance in the playoffs is too strong! He will appear in the finals, just like people thought he would not advance to the second round at first." After that In an interview, An Luo became James' fanboy.In this league, there are many, many players like An Luo who are convinced by James.In the career of more than ten years, LeBron James has already become a symbol of this era!No matter at any time, as long as he can play, there will always be hope!
Such remarks naturally aroused dissatisfaction among Bostonians.They launched a very sharp counterattack against An Luo.Numerous data and arguments show that the Celtics can defeat the Cavaliers.Moreover, they believe that the reason for the Thunder's victory over the Warriors is the Splash Brothers' abnormal performance, not the strength of the Thunder itself.The Oklahoma media's reaction to Boston was naturally tit-for-tat.They also cited classics and used a very convincing analysis to show that the Celtics could not climb the mountain of James.

Of course, these are all spectators.Neither James nor the Celtics players made any comments on this.As if everything had nothing to do with me!Most of the time, the news is created by journalists, and the debates are caused by spectators.

Apart from these two, the media in other places are not idle either.Seeing that the finals are about to start and the league is about to enter the offseason, they all joined in the fun.Whether it's the Western Conference finals that have ended, or the Eastern Conference finals that are ongoing, or the finals that will follow, everyone insists on their own opinions, argues and refute each other, and it becomes very lively all of a sudden.

This is what Xiao Hua is happy to see.He has always wanted to improve the influence of the NBA.The finals are the most important card in his hand.Every year in the finals, the NBA will create some gimmicks. Now that there is such an opportunity, he is naturally happy to see it come true.

An Luo is far from the only one who is optimistic about James.Over the years, everyone has gotten used to his strength!In many people's minds, he is omnipotent.

Two days later, James used his actual actions to prove that he is indeed worthy of being favored by people.Like in 2012, James broke out with super fighting power.After Love was injured and only played for 5 minutes, he was injured in the fourth quarter and the gods descended to the earth to bring the series to the tiebreaker.

Throughout the first half, James did not rest for a second, and only briefly rested for 2 minutes in the second half.In the 46 minutes he played, he made 33 of 17 shots, contributed 46 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

Unlike six years ago, it was no longer the silent North Shore Garden Arena that greeted him after the game.At the end of the game, all the people of Cleveland cheered.Just like boiling water.

However, the victory in this game was really very difficult.When the game started 5 minutes, Love withdrew from the game due to injury.But James was not pessimistic, he carried the entire team alone.

The second quarter of the game is coming to an end, and James' physical fitness has begun to have problems.But he still forced a three-pointer against the Celtics' defense.

In the second half, James was still strong.In the third quarter, he also staged an iconic chasing cap!

After Horford made a mid-range goal, James took the ball and made a quick move.After he handed the ball to Hill from beyond the three-point line, he directly squeezed Tatum and cut to the free throw line.Hill saw the momentum and immediately passed the ball. After James received the ball, he immediately started and scored the ball against Horford.

Looking back, Rozier of the Celtics advanced quickly, using the cover of his teammates from beyond the three-point line to throw off Hill's defense and go straight to the basket. TT's defense was very fast, but Rozier easily bypassed it with a European step.At this time, the Cavaliers have no one under the basket!Rozier flew up and was about to press the ball into the basket.

He was very excited, but immediately, a huge force came from his hand, which made his mind a little dazed!
Just after Rozier used the cover to get rid of Hill, James rushed up with the opponent.He was like a shadow, following him closely all the time.Everyone saw it, only Rozier didn't notice it.

"Snapped!"

James is like a heavy tank, pressing down Rozier with the ball.Immediately, James pushed the ball and started a counterattack!

If you are in North Shore Gardens, people should be familiar with James like this!That king's contempt is now making one's heart palpitate.However, James tonight brought the same feeling to the Celtics.

However, the more this is the case, the more James personally pays for the victory, and the easier it is for the Thunder, who regard the Cavaliers as their opponents in the finals.If the Thunder team six years ago was still a little immature, but this season's Thunder team is mature enough!That year, James' teammates were Wade, Bosh, Ray Allen and others, but now, there is only James alone.

Of course, their opponents are not necessarily [-]% knights.But even if the Celtics finally withstood the pressure and defeated the Cavaliers, the Thunder were not afraid.The other party was as young as the Thunder back then.

Those Oklahoma media are right, this year may be their best chance to win the championship.After that, many superstars in the league will enter the free market, and the structure of the league will definitely change dramatically by then.Even the Thunder's current lineup is very likely to happen.More importantly, the strongest opponents have already been eliminated by them!
