Chapter 193 LeBron Deceives

At 12 am on December 18, the Lakers special plane landed in Cleveland.

Two days and two games, from Philadelphia to Cleveland, it is said that the Lakers players should look tired.

But Tianyang took the lead and got off the plane energetically. Nick Young and Clarkson listened to an IPOD together, dancing, talking and laughing, as excited as if they were about to participate in a swimsuit feast.

Seeing this situation, the assistant coach Brian Shaw who was walking at the end of the line asked curiously:

"Could it be that they have a secret plan? Cleveland, a place like this, can play tricks?"

Wharton smiled, "Young people are ambitious, and challenging powerful enemies makes their adrenaline soar."

Brian Shaw curled his lips, "Your words don't make sense, and you haven't seen them like this when you beat the Warriors."

"Because the Cavaliers have the bonus of being the defending champion.

"In addition, as long as we win the Cavaliers, the opponents behind us are the Hornets, Heat, and Magic. It is very possible to win 8 consecutive victories. I am a little excited."

……

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after the Lakers had a full rest, they appeared in the Quicken Loans Arena.

The battle with the Cavaliers attracted dozens of media interviews.

This is extremely rare in non-national live broadcast games. In the past, local media asked casually.

But LeBron has been expressing his admiration for Tianyang on Twitter, coupled with Tianyang's recent crazy performance, there are many topics to talk about in this otherwise ordinary game.

Just as Tianyang walked out of the locker room, the reporters ran up to him.

An uncle with glasses asked first: "LeBron said on Twitter in the morning that he will defend you with all his strength in the first three quarters and even give up a lot of points. Are you afraid?"

Tianyang was taken aback when he heard the words, he slept all morning and didn't pay attention to Twitter at all.

Everyone knows LeBron's defensive horror.

He is 203cm tall and a bit larger than an ordinary small forward, but his speed has not been affected at all. He sprints like a cannonball. You can get a glimpse of it from the highlight video of Chasing Cap Rondo.

Secondly, his strength is also outrageous, and the photos of pulling heavy truck tires during the offseason are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, LeBron rarely has an absolute disadvantage against positions 1-4.

It's just that as you grow older, you need to score, organize, and pass the ball offensively. In defense, in addition to single defense, you also need to assist defense, make up defense, block positions, grab rebounds, and chase caps. Physical fitness is completely insufficient.

So from the beginning of the season, LeBron has been a bit like Kobe in the 13th season, occasionally directing traffic on defense, staring and scaring offensive players.

Now, LeBron specifically emphasizes that he must defend himself with all his strength, Tianyang has a little panic.

"I have had this assumption with Coach Walton before, and I am ready to deal with the weapon."

As soon as the voice fell, another bald reporter immediately raised the microphone and asked loudly:

"Owen said in an interview at noon that he will start from the first offense and find you for singles infinitely..."

"Did he really say that? Or are you making it up?" Tianyang interrupted.

"He really said that, I was there at the time..." The glasses uncle helped to testify.

This is too ruthless, play a full ban, no way to survive?

Everyone is like this, Tianyang has nothing to be afraid of anymore.

He patted his chest and said, "Then I have to show my defensive skills."

When he said this, the reporters were stunned. What does Tianyang mean, is he confident in defending Owen?
In the finals in June, Irving reversed the Warriors with consecutive fairy balls, and Tianyang was a little bit overwhelmed.

But the reporters thought about it again, Tianyang didn't seem to show much defensive skills.

Since Tianyang entered the league, he scored 33 points in the first game, 5+ in 40 consecutive games, and 60+ in one game. The impression he left on the fans and the media was only scoring crazy points.

After a brief absence, a blond female reporter asked:
"LeBron emphasized that this is a game of kings and kings, what do you think of that?"

The phrase "the king sees the king" seems to be far-fetched, but it is also very easy to understand.

At the beginning of the season, when the Lakers defeated the Rockets in the first game, LeBron sent a tweet after the game, calling Tianyang a 'young king', and LeBron himself also called himself 'King James', saying that this game is king. nothing wrong.

Of course, Tianyang's strength is also worthy of the title LeBron.

"Thanks for his appreciation. I will go all out in this game and strive to dedicate the peak match for the fans!"

The term peak duel was also proposed by LeBron.

One of the two has just won the third championship and is famous all over the world, and the other has just entered the league and is flourishing.

Both of them will show their strongest state in this battle, and the peak duel is true.

……

At 7:55 p.m., the pre-game ceremony between the Lakers and the Cavaliers ended, and the two teams entered the final preparation time.

LeBron got up from the Cavaliers bench and went straight to the technical table.

The fans at the scene focused their eyes and speculated about what he was going to do.

"Take the initiative to say hello to Tianyang? Is it too much face?"

"Put pressure on the referee, so as not to be beaten to death later without a whistle?"

"Could it be possible to sprinkle magnesium powder?"

When LeBron stopped, the fans took a closer look.

Sure enough, he grabbed a handful of magnesium powder and threw it vigorously into the sky.

The fans couldn't understand it. The action of sprinkling magnesium powder stopped after returning to the Cavaliers for 14 years.

Why are you playing again today?
In the puzzled eyes of the fans, LeBron walked to the Lakers bench.

Tianyang stood up, and the two shook hands in greeting.

"Performed very well, keep working hard, but also be patient, many things cannot be done in one day."

"Thank you for the suggestion, I will do it."

"Tonight's game, I will show the strongest defense, and I look forward to your strongest offense."

"Sure, I will blow you up!"

"Hahaha, that's the best, after all, the future of the alliance is yours..."

"Thank you."

"But it's still mine..."

After LeBron finished speaking, he turned around and left with a smile on his face, without giving Tianyang a chance to refute.

Three minutes later, a dialogue between the two was played on the big screen.

The fans at the scene stood up and cheered under the leadership of DJ after listening.

There is a good show to watch!
...

At 8:[-], the game between the two teams officially started.

In the jump ball session, TT won McGee, Irving took the ball in the backcourt, and led it to the frontcourt amidst the cheers of the fans.

Walking to the top of the arc, JR stepped forward to block Clarkson, Tianyang switched defenses, and faced Owen head-on.

I saw Owen bend over and sink his shoulders, changing hands and dribbling the ball under his crotch, while moving his feet back and forth, constantly looking for flaws.

Tianyang bent his knees and straightened his back, his feet were slightly apart and his arms were fully stretched, and he frequently adjusted his steps according to Owen's rhythm.

The two confronted each other for 4 seconds, and Owen suddenly raised his shoulders and took a step to the left.

Tianyang lowered his left arm, twisted his right foot and backed away half a step.

Irving made a sudden stop, switched the ball from his crotch to his right hand, and rushed to the right elbow at high speed.

Tianyang didn't rush, he stepped on the ground with his right foot, and moved laterally, blocking Owen's front.

Owen failed to make a breakthrough, so he immediately turned around and took off to shoot.

Tianyang stopped abruptly and jumped up to block the shot.

The flight trajectory of the basketball is affected, hit the iron.

TT pushes away McGee, jumps high and catches the rebound, and after landing, he goes outside to score.

LeBron took the ball from the left wing, leaned against Ingram, and went to the basket again.

Very fast, starting a three-step layup with only one dribble.

McGee stepped forward to defend, LeBron dodged in the air, but still dunked with one hand!

The cheers in the Quicken Loans Arena were deafening, and the fans seemed to see LeBron at his peak.

Easy to attack the Lakers, Tianyang asked for the ball in the backcourt, and before he got it, LeBron had already posted it.

The fans at the scene cheered again, and really started to defend with all their strength from the first round!
LeBron walks the talk!
Tianyang catches the ball, takes a deep breath, and dribbles close to the ground.

It only takes 3 seconds to rush to the top of the arc.

He has to fight for speed, relying on his youthful advantages, and consumes LeBron's physical strength from the first ball.

He stops at the top of the arc and begins Irving's crotch-hand switching dribble.

LeBron's defensive thinking is different from his, and he directly presses down.

That being the case, Tianyang was not ambiguous, and Limara went to the left wing.

He took LeBron in a big circle back and forth, and finally pulled out on the right wing.

Basketball hollow into the net.

LeBron akimbo, "You are ruthless, but if you want to consume me, there is no way!"

The Cavaliers attacked again, Irving dribbled the ball across half court, and LeBron reached for the ball at a 45-degree right side.

Ingram's single defense must suffer.

Without any hesitation, Tianyang strode across to double-team directly, and let JR open to shoot first.

But that thought, LeBron didn't pass the ball, but retreated back and threw a three-pointer.

The basketball hit the hoop and rebounded into the net. LeBron pressed his hands down to celebrate, and the fans applauded wildly.

With such a step, fans who watched the live broadcast outside the stadium swiped the barrage one after another.

"Damn it, I scored 1 points in a row in the first minute."

"What about giving up a lot of points?"

"LeBron liar!!!"
