I took away the emperor zhan - Chapter 268
The Cavaliers were swept by the Spurs in the regular season. In the first game of the finals, they also lost to the Spurs. It seems that the Spurs are really the nemesis of the Cavaliers.
After the Cavaliers lost the first game of the series, many expert media commentators said so.
People who thought the Cavaliers would lose before the finals were even more determined.
“After all, the Cavaliers are still young!”
“Yes, if they want to win the championship, they still have to have more experience and grow up.”
“The Spurs have found their destiny, and it’s still very easy to win them.”
“So ginger is still old and spicy.”
“After this season, I’m afraid the Cavaliers have to find some veterans who can live in the field to press the array. It’s not good if they are all recruits.”
……
……
“Do you think LeBron can win the Spurs?” Walton shook his glass and asked the group of friends around him.
After the first game, the guys who had already finished the season had nothing else to do and went to a bar to have fun.
They wanted to get James, but James refused. The first game of the finals was only played. There are still games to play and preparations to prepare. It’s not time to indulge in fun.
“The Spurs are still playing hard enough. It’s difficult for them to win the championship.” Hinrich said after taking a sip of wine.
“Now it’s just a game. It’s not the end yet. There are many games in a series. I’m absolutely optimistic about them.” Perkins put down his glass heavily. He had just finished a full glass of wine.
“Yes, it’s just the first game. It’s not the end.” Wade smiled and said, “I have confidence in LeBron. If they can beat us, they will be able to beat the Spurs. If it weren’t for LeBron, we would win the championship this year. I don’t think the Spurs can beat us. ”
“Ha ha, just brag. But I also think LeBron and they will win the final victory. This guy is good at working miracles. ” Anthony raised his glass. “Come on, let’s have a drink for LeBron and hope they can win the next game.”
“Good! Cheers, I wish the group leaders a victory in their next game. ” Everyone else raised their glasses and the glasses collided.
……
……
The second game of the finals will continue to be held at the home of the Cavaliers.
Although they lost the first game, the Cavaliers were relatively calm.
James said after the game that day,
Now it’s just the first game. There’s no need to panic, even in the last game.
Everything hasn’t come to an end yet. It’s far from the end of the series.
It’s just a defeat. Everyone calm down.
And the first defeat is a good thing. It’s a small adversity.
They haven’t experienced any major adversity since the beginning of the regular season. It’s a little adversity. It’s good to learn to play in adversity.
Temporary backwardness is not a bad thing. As long as we can catch up in the plight of backwardness, there will be no problem.
Everyone should learn to play in adversity, which is the most important.
The most important thing is for the team to remain resilient.
This speech undoubtedly injected a booster into the Cavaliers and made everyone cheer up.
What’s terrible about the Spurs? I haven’t beat them this season. Let’s beat them.
In the regular season, the biggest dilemma encountered by the Cavaliers was the short period of time when James was injured, but they all survived, relying on everyone’s concerted efforts.
They actually have the ability to get out of trouble.
So when the second game came, the Cavaliers did not have low morale, but some excitement.
If you can win the championship in a difficult situation, it feels better than anything.
At the beginning of the second game, the Cavaliers shot on the outside line and scored three 3-pointer shots.
It started 9-0.
Forcing Popovich to call a pause soon after the opening.
After the pause, Parker attacked with the ball and threw around the basket with the help of Duncan, breaking the scoring shortage of the Spurs.
When the Cavaliers attacked, Paul came to the top of the arc with the ball and handed the ball to James on the right flank. Bowen immediately pasted it. James dribbled the ball against Bowen and pushed the ball against Bowen.
Then he suddenly turned around, didn’t look at the pass, and handed the ball to Paul who cut in from the middle. Paul received the pass near the free throw line, took off and shot directly, and scored two points.
Turning back to Ginobili, the snake broke through the basket outside the three-point line. Tony Allen chased him closely, but Duncan blocked him, and Ginobili burst in.
Korandov changed his defense, took a step, blocked in front of Ginobili, and then slapped Ginobili’s up and out.
Barkley said: “from the opening point of view, the Cavaliers seemed to be alive as a whole. They played better than the last game, and everyone actively made their own contributions on the court.”
Kenny Smith nodded and said, “yes, but I hope they don’t just play a good game like the last game. They also led the Spurs in the first quarter and finally lost the first game.”
The basketball with Randolph’s hat off was snatched by the Spurs. The ball was handed to Parker. Paul clinged to it and didn’t give Parker a good shot space.
Parker can only be transferred to Duncan in the low position.
Randolph put his hand behind Duncan.
James told Randolph before the game that he should be harder when playing Duncan. Whether it’s defense or attack, James said he could deal with Duncan.
Randolph listened to these words, and now he is on the court to prove that James is right.
Randolph’s strength added to Duncan, which made Duncan feel a little uncomfortable. Duncan turned around and couldn’t make a jump shot in the end.
Big Z protected the rebound and gave it to Paul. Paul rushed to the front court with the ball. He dribbled the ball under his crotch, took a step to the right, pretended to break through, but transferred the ball to James on the other side.
James catches the ball, takes off, makes a three-point shot, and steadily throws the basketball into the basket.
The defensive end fights with the opponent, and the offensive end plays its own offensive rhythm and characteristics.
That’s what James said before the game. They want to fight harder. That’s what they’re doing now.
Looking back, Ginobili couldn’t get rid of Tony Allen’s follow-up and defense and handed the ball to Bowen.
Bowen caught the ball and wanted to shoot, but when he saw that James had moved over, he hesitated. In the last game, he was hooded by James three times, and he was still a little timid.
He didn’t take the shot, but gave the ball back to Parker.
Parker used his speed to pass Paul, but Paul’s speed was not slow. He continued to follow closely. Parker’s shot was finally disturbed by Paul and couldn’t make a shot.
