The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 433 Mr. Zhan, all the encounters...
Chapter 433 Mr. Zhan, all the encounters (chapter with ten thousand words)
On the night of May 5, in Oracle Arena, Warriors fans silently watched the big screen in the center of the venue.
At 126:113, with the last 29 seconds left in the game, Brogdon held the ball with a smile in the Warriors half and stopped attacking.
On the Clippers bench, Li Ze had already put on his training uniform, stood up, and waited for the end of the game with his teammates.
Jokic is waving with his two brothers. The two strong men are front-row tickets. They stand up and cheer to celebrate
There were no blind-eyed Warriors fans around to provoke, and everyone looked at the Warriors bench silently.
For Li Ze, the Western Division championship is just a small honor, but for many Warriors players, it is the achievement they have always longed for.
"shush"
When 24 seconds were up, scattered boos broke out in the Oracle Arena, not only for the winning Clippers, but also for the extremely disappointing Warriors.
Since the rise of Curry, the Warriors have not achieved much. They won 73 last season, and their only harvest was the Pacific Championship.
By this year's 67 wins, the Warriors didn't even win the Pacific Championship, and were taken away by the Clippers.
There are no scoring champions, assists champions, steals champions, or MVPs. Compared to LeBron James, perhaps the stars in the Western Conference are the worst.
The final buzz sounded, and Curry sat in his seat covered with a towel for a long time without getting up. No one knew how Curry felt at this time. He lost his position as the boss this season, but gained nothing.
Durant, who stood up, looked up at the score on the big screen, and looked very silent.
At 126:113, G4 of the Western Conference Finals was over. On the court, the Clippers cheered and rushed to the bench. They swept the four-star Warriors.
The experience of watching the visiting team accept the award at home was terrible. The Warriors fans didn't leave the stadium, and they didn't boo. Everyone just got up and watched Li Ze walk to the center of the field and hug Durant.
Compared with Curry's hard to let go of losing, Durant couldn't hold back anymore, joining a 73-win team, but it didn't bring any improvement to the results.
Just thinking about how critics would mock him during the offseason, Durant almost broke the defense directly.
Seeing the surrounding sports media rushing towards him, Durant hurriedly adjusted his emotions, made himself expressionless, and then patted Li Ze on the shoulder:
"Great game, Bro, hope you win the championship!"
Seeing Durant trying to keep his face expressionless, Li Ze smiled and shook his fist in greeting:
"I like this matchup, and I hope we can continue to play against each other next season!"
"."
Durant twitched the corner of his mouth, but finally didn't respond, and hugged Li Ze again.
Shouting "Bro" to everyone, and cheering when he came up, Paul George is much happier than Li Ze. He reached the finals for the first time in his career, and he couldn't hide his joy.
Eric Gordon also laughed out loud, a fallen genius back to the top, plagued by injuries during his time with the Pelicans, but healthy enough to play all 82 games after joining the Clippers.
In addition to the shrinking statistics in the Western Conference Finals, under the care of Li Ze, this season is considered to be the pinnacle of his career. Eric Gordon looked at the lost Warriors, and while sending blessings, he also secretly rejoiced:
"If I accepted Harden's invitation, maybe I would have gone home to fish by this time"
The Warriors had a smooth regular season this season. Even if Durant suffered an injury, Curry led the team to a winning streak.
Facing the 12-core Clippers, everyone can use the mental victory method to comfort themselves before the start of the series. After all, there are more All-Star players, and the fault tolerance rate is theoretically higher.
As a result, in the Western Conference Finals, all illusions were shattered, and Li Ze was so stable that he was hardly a human being. With an All-Star teammate, the series didn't have to be too hard.
The big-mouthed Green has been unusually silent since G3. After shaking hands with the Clippers players, he silently walked towards the player tunnel.
Clay and Li Ze made an appointment to meet in Los Angeles during the offseason, and soon left the field. Curry was the last Warriors player to come forward to say hello to Li Ze:
"Come on, Kayce, another championship and losing to a championship team will make me feel better."
Curry, who had adjusted his mood, put on a wry smile, and the hats of system players could not be removed for the time being.
Li Ze didn't say any words of consolation. As players of the same class, the two had known each other since college, and a large part of the reason for the loss of reputation was also caused by him.
For the unlucky guy in front of him, Li Ze just patted Curry on the shoulder, telling Curry to ease the depression in his heart, and continue the persecution next year.
The surrounding media reporters felt that it was not enough, and the Warriors who were swept out did not speak harshly.
In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans silently watched the Clippers walking back to the player tunnel talking and laughing. Everyone knew that the award was about to be presented again.
After changing into gray division championship T-shirts, Steve Ballmer and team staff also came to the center of the field with the players.
Although there were no ribbons or cheers, everyone was laughing when they held the cup together. The fruits of victory were extremely delicious!
For Steve Kerr, losing this season is also a major blow to him.
The Warriors have 4 All-Stars, and the team owner is willing to spend money. In this case, if they fail to achieve the expected results, the head coach is naturally responsible.
Coupled with the fact that he is also a rookie coach, Steve Kerr has already felt the crisis, and there is not much time left for him to prove himself.
In NBA circles, superstars have privileges, the cost of changing coaches is smaller, the failure of the four-star Warriors, and the announcement of Steve Kerr's dismissal after a while is no surprise to anyone.
The press conference of the Clippers must be a commendation meeting. When it comes to the Warriors, it naturally becomes a criticism meeting:
"Steve, with Durant joining, the team's regular season record has not improved, and the playoffs have not made it out of the West. How would you evaluate the performance of the Warriors this season?"
The ESPN reporter was not polite at all, and pointed the finger at Steve Kerr when he came up.
"Although this is the first year we have been running in with each other, stopping in the Western Conference Finals does not meet our pre-season expectations."
"Of course I am fully responsible for the team's problems. I underestimated the strength of the Clippers. There is no doubt that this season is a failure for the Warriors, but next year we will become better."
Steve Kerr on the stage looked serious. He knew that such an answer was not pleasing, but it was all from his heart.
The sports media knows that the Warriors will not change coaches next season, but if they can no longer win the championship, maybe the Warriors will undergo major changes.
The Clippers made it to the Finals again. On America's social media, many people complained before the finals started:
"Why is it the same opponent every year?"
Fans can complain, and for everyone in the Cavaliers, the last thing they want to see happened again.
If they face the Warriors, they can also imagine their advantages on the inside, and they also have weaknesses like Curry on the outside.
But facing the Clippers, you don't need to think about the opponent's defensive strategy. Li Ze strangled Irving, and Paul George faced LeBron James.
Let James play singles, others follow up, and try not to shrink the basket.
During the regular season, the Clippers used this tactic to control the Cavaliers to death
Fortunately, the two teams have only played against each other twice. The Cavaliers coaching staff is currently delusional and hopes that the situation will change in the finals.
After Li Ze won the division championship this year, he didn't say much in the interview, but left more opportunities to other teammates.
For him, this is the seventh time he has won the Western Conference division championship. There is nothing new and the sense of accomplishment is pitiful.
At the post-match press conference at this time, America's sports media was blowing up again, and everyone was praising his performance.
Most of the questions asked by the media in the audience are similar, and the winner can answer freely. Even if they taunt the opponent wildly, everyone will think it is a manifestation of personality
Li Ze answered the question with a smile on the surface, but his mind began to wander. At this moment, he finally understood why Michael Jordan locked the enemy in the void at the end of his career, and his self-imagined opponent began to provoke him:
"It turns out that invincible is really lonely"
On May 5, the Clippers flew back to Los Angeles with the trophy. Next season, the flag of the fifth division championship can be raised over the new arena.
The Clippers team reporter also posted a gossip on social media:
"Mr. Ballmer and Kayce will hold a symposium during the offseason, and the team will invite season ticket holders to build a new Clippers team!"
The Clippers will be able to move to the new arena in Inglewood in September.
In the new season, the Clippers will have a new training ground, a new office building, a new competition venue, and a new parking lot with abundant parking spaces.
The Clippers' farewell performance at the Staples Center is only this year's finals. Tickets for the finals have just been pre-sold and sold out.
No one likes that their home team always loses. The Lakers next door have lost. The current fans are completely old-fashioned. Most of the new generation of fans have gone to the Clippers.
On the other side of the ocean, Li Ze's fans naturally saw this news, but most fans don't have the sense of belonging of the local fans in America. Everyone's feelings are only:
"Li Zeniu X! Clippers champion!"
For Tianchao Sports Media, Li Ze has reached the finals, and everyone can go to Los Angeles for vacation again.
As for the outcome of the finals, is there any suspense?
Ze rushed forward, and Li Ze's fans couldn't hold back anymore. Since yesterday, the God Killing Conference has appeared frequently:
"If you don't understand, just ask, Michael Jordan has come to this era, can he play Li Ze's data?"
"Li Ze went back to the past and killed people randomly. He can also rule the 90s!"
"7 is greater than 6, the real GOAT is out!"
"Even Li Ze can get 40+10 every game with the bottom corner!"
This kind of post can be seen every day, tearing up Jamie by hand is no longer enough to satisfy Li Ze’s fans, after 60 billion Komi was beaten by high-level data, the only old Jordan fans left can’t stand it anymore .
The finals will officially start on June 6st, and the NBA has already started packaging and preheating the finals at this time.
Although the league doesn't like the sweep of the Western Conference finals, the referees have already exerted their strength, but the Warriors themselves are not up to date, and they did not withstand the stability +2
G3 gave the opportunity and held the initiative, but the two leading stars both missed the final attack.
After walking a free throw, the referee was scolded badly by Clippers fans. As a result, the Warriors themselves didn't seize the opportunity, and the scolding was for nothing.
There is G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight, and the game has not yet started. The sports media in America believe that the Cavaliers have already advanced.
Blake Griffin injured his right toe, and the Celtics officially announced that the surface brother will miss tonight's game.
Coupled with the injured Isaiah Thomas, in the absence of two main players, the Cavaliers will definitely win!
TNT will broadcast the Eastern Conference finals tonight, but before the game everyone is still discussing Li Ze's performance in this year's Western Conference playoffs.
In the studio, the host Ernie Johnson watched Li Ze’s playoff average data on the big screen behind him, and immediately said with a smile:
"Compared to last year, Kayce's efficiency has increased a lot, which is an unbelievable performance!"
Because the pressure of the first two rounds of the game was too low, this made Li Ze's playoff data this year even more outrageous!
西部季后赛的12场比赛中,李泽场均出场32分钟,场均拿到39.7分6.8篮板11.5助攻1.8抢断0.9盖帽0.3失误;
The shooting percentage was 77.4%, the three-point shooting percentage was 64.2%, and the free throw percentage was 100%.
Kenny Smith noticed that Li Ze averaged only 18.3 shots per game, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. For a while, he felt that Li Ze was really not human:
"If I remember correctly, Kayce shot 68.9 percent in the regular season, and the playoffs are still going up?"
"God! This simply broke my imagination of basketball. Score with just one shot? What kind of efficiency is this?"
When O'Neill saw this data, he simply opened his mouth wide in front of the camera, expressing his shock with an exaggerated expression:
"If you tell me this is the stats of a super center, I can barely accept it, but with the performance of outside players, I just want to say that Kayce is a real superman!"
"Superman" is the nickname given to Li Ze by the TNT quartet, and it's an appropriate title, anyway, America's fans like it very much.
Since Li Ze depreciated the stats of 40+ and 50+ in the playoffs, Charles Barkley has possessed lemon essence.
The Warriors were swept out of the Western Conference Finals, and after seeing Li Zefei's efficiency, Charles Barkley no longer tainted his milk, and said in a firm tone:
"Without any hope, LeBron James will fail again!"
"Kayce's numbers are hopeless, and the Cavaliers can already prepare for the vacation in advance."
A hit rate of close to [-]% basically means that Li Ze gets points when he takes a shot, and no one can stand it. Charles Barkley just fell, and the three people on the side nodded.
"I agree with Chuck, but basketball is round and anything is possible!"
"I believe LeBron is ready, regardless of the outcome of the finals, to reach the finals for many years is a great achievement."
The host Ernie Johnson did not sing the opposite. This year, the strength gap between the two teams is too large, so there is no need to downplay the Cavaliers.
Kenny Smith also firmly believes that there is no suspense in the finals, but he still sent his blessings:
"For LeBron, being able to lead his hometown team to re-emerge is good enough. As for the outcome of the Finals, it doesn't matter."
"Trust the process, Cleveland fans will support LeBron!"
"."
Li Ze, who had already returned to Los Angeles, accompanied Annie and brought up the baby in Beverly Hills. Watching the TNT four people begin to "believe the process" on TV, he was speechless for a while.
In this impetuous era, there is no need to pay attention to "believing in the process". Without a championship, the historical status will not be able to rise.
Annie likes Li Ze's state this year very much. In the past few years, it has been the most relaxing season, and she has spent more time with her.
"Going to buy a house over there in Inglewood? Moving next season!"
Annie, who gave birth to a baby, is a little fatter than before, and it is easier to take care of the baby, so she still maintains a mellow state.
Looking at the eager eyes of the black-haired Yujie beside him, Li Ze knew that it must be the moths of other girls.
Since buying a high-rise luxury apartment in New York, everyone has stopped tossing about the house. After redecorating the existing property in the past two years, everyone likes the feeling of furnishing a new home.
In Los Angeles, the current vacant house is a property that Taylor bought in the early years, but the Beverly Hills house has been converted into a vacation cabin.
Considering the security of Inglewoods, Li Ze finally nodded in agreement, hugged Annie and said in a low voice:
"Then let's arrange a new home together and pay more attention to security issues!"
"."
The Clippers will officially open the new arena in September. In terms of time, the finals can be regarded as a warm-up advertisement for the new arena.
The first task of Paul George, Harris, and Jokic returning to Los Angeles is to help the team promote the new arena and attract the attention of fans.
Before the start of the finals, the Clippers will take a two-day holiday as usual, and then they will accept an exclusive interview with the NBA. The team's operation department will also carry out a series of interactive activities to deepen the relationship with fans.
Everyone in the Clippers is busy with the new arena and the championship, but the Cavaliers who won that night did not show much joy.
Kyrie Irving put up a Lize-style stat:
22中15,三分线外7中4,罚球9中8,42分3篮板4助攻3失误,68.2%的投篮命中率,效率也上天了。
LeBron James, who focuses on scoring, also performed well:
27中15,三分线外6中1,罚球4中3,34分5篮板6助攻1抢断1盖帽5失误,一改上一场梦游的状态,天选之子展示了自己的统治力!
In the end, at 99:112, facing the Celtics who were short of major generals, the Cavaliers did not waste the opportunity and easily defeated their opponents at home and successfully won the match point!
The big score in the series came to 3:1, and there is not much suspense in the game.
Back in Boston the night after tomorrow, Celtics fans will be at the North Shore Garden to see the Cavaliers reach the Finals again.
America's sports media has been completely conquered by Li Ze's data. In the past few years, Owen's performance can be regarded as mediocre.
If a star player cannot shoot more than [-]% of his field goals, he cannot be called a superstar in the league. Li Ze has raised the standard of a superstar by himself.
About to enter the finals again, LeBron James, who was interviewed, was not as confident as last year, and in the end he just made a low-key statement:
"The series is not over yet. At present, I am focusing on the G5 game. You know, the Celtics have deep strength, and we will not be careless."
"As for the championship, I will definitely go all out, that is what I have been pursuing!"
Answered in a satisfactory manner, LeBron James was sprayed miserably on social media after the game:
"Superstar with no confidence! LeBron James is the biggest jerk I've ever seen!"
"The Clippers shouted the slogan of 16 wins and 0 losses, why didn't James respond?"
"The 8th runner-up, LeBron James has finally achieved a historic achievement. Congratulations!"
"Send a championship every year, LeBron James should give the opportunity to other players."
"The teams in the Eastern Conference are so soft, why can no one beat the Cavaliers?"
"."
Fans don't like to see LeBron James vs. Li Ze for many years in a row, and everyone expects the finals to be one-sided.
America's ball critic fired a map shot, accusing other teams in the league of not wanting to compete for the championship, but as long as there is a team that can beat the Cavaliers and Clippers, the finals will be much more exciting.
No matter what the outside world thinks, the Cavaliers flew to Boston on the 25th after a day's rest, and once again gave the opponent a big defeat.
The Cavaliers' shooters also opened up, and LeBron James, who was in excellent form, scored 100 points with a 11% shooting rate in the first quarter.
At 43:27, at the end of the first quarter, there was no sound in the North Shore Garden Arena, and the Cavaliers had already led by 1 points.
In the end, the Celtics lost a game at home, 135:102, the Cavaliers beat their opponents, swept the gentleman 4:1, and entered the finals again!
全场出场35分钟,勒布朗-詹姆斯18中13,三分线外7中4,罚球8中5,砍下35分8篮板8助攻3抢断1盖帽2失误的数据。
The Cavaliers made 41 of 19 from outside the three-point line, and shot 46.3% of the three-pointers. In addition, there were only 11 turnovers in the game, and the Celtics were already beaten.
It was also in the away game that he won the division championship and when he lifted the round trophy, LeBron James finally showed a smile.
Irving and Love also forgot about the finals and yelled and celebrated with their teammates.
Tyronn Lue also showed a gratified smile, no matter what the future holds, having a division championship is considered a half-champion coach.
On May 5, the NBA released a trailer for the finals:
"Road to the Finals"
It's just that after the trailer was released, fans complained about it. This year's road to the finals is too easy. The Clippers swept all the way, and the situation of the Cavaliers is almost the same.
The offensive performances of the two teams in the promotional video are really good, and the edited shots of the role players also showed up, but the fans didn't quite buy it.
The wonderful duel as imagined did not happen. If the finals turned into a one-sided game again, the lemon spirits will shout "refund"
Li Ze's winning the championship for many years has indeed brought some inconvenience to the league.
After the "This is why we play" alliance changed its slogan, the follow-up advertising videos will naturally also be changed.
As a result, the championships in the past few years belong to Li Ze, and the shots involving the championship team are all owned by the Clippers.
It’s no wonder the fans complained. In the finals these years, there are only two protagonists, LeBron James and Li Ze. Even those who love basketball can’t stand it.
Of course, for the Clippers fans, there is no such trouble. The abuse of food has become everyone’s favorite. In the fan activities organized by the Clippers these days, the swollen fans shouted every day:
"Clippers in Four!"
The achievement of 16 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs is about to be achieved again, and the Clippers fans can't wait to sweep their opponents with a big score in the finals.
On May 5, everyone from the Cavaliers arrived in Los Angeles, and hometown basketball met the Clippers for the third time.
The low-key LeBron James did not accept interviews with reporters, and the Cavaliers team reporters also posted news on social media:
"LeBron is fully committed to the Finals, and the Cavaliers will do wonders!"
It's a pity that except for the fans in Cleveland who believe that the Cavaliers can win, most fans think that the Clippers will win easily.
On the afternoon of June 6, everyone in the Clippers team warmed up in advance at the Staples Arena. Li Ze, who was in a training uniform, fully moved his body and began to shoot at will.
The public warm-up naturally attracted many media reporters. Everyone looked at Li Ze's state of throwing all the chickens in, and felt that LeBron James would lose again tonight!
The reason why no one is optimistic about the Cavaliers is that the defensive resources can't keep up.
Last season has proved that LeBron James' defensive effect is very poor. In tonight's game, there is a high probability that JR-Smith and Li Ze will face each other again.
The old work was renewed, and when the Clippers finished warming up, the sports reporters around couldn't wait to get in front of Li Ze:
"Kayce, meeting LeBron James again in the Finals, how do you feel about that?"
Li Ze always felt that such a question seemed familiar, and he seemed to answer it once a year:
"Welcome LeBron to Los Angeles, it's good to see old rivals, hope this is a good series!"
Compared with Li Ze's relaxed state of mind, LeBron James is far behind. After so many years in the finals, it is really a loss
As long as he thinks that this year's opponent is the 74-win Clippers, LeBron James can't make a smile.
After the Cavaliers also completed their warm-up, James, who was asked the same question, almost broke the defense on the spot. Fortunately, he finally controlled his emotions and finally replied numbly:
"I am very happy to play against the Clippers again. For tonight's game, we will definitely go all out."
"LeBron, if you lose again this year, it will be the eighth time in your career that you have lost the Finals? How do you feel about that?"
The reporter from Yahoo Sports was merciless and helped James loan a runner-up. After hearing this question, James took a deep look at the other party, and finally sighed:
"Next question!"
"."
The 16-17 season finals are still broadcast by ESPN, and American fans can watch the game through the ABC channel.
Finals G1 officially kicked off at 21 o'clock that night, and enthusiastic Clippers fans naturally entered the venue early.
There are not many home games this year. In the playoffs, everyone only watched 6 games at their home courts. It was really not fun!
The excitement couldn't be vented. When it came to the finals, the Staples Arena became extremely noisy before the game started.
Many fans have already bought snacks and beer in advance. Clippers fans have a wealth of experience on how to better watch an abusive game.
When the players of the visiting team came on the field, LeBron James was expressionless, just took a deep look at the four championship banners above the arena.
"Shhh!!"
LeBron James, who had just appeared on the field, made the fans boo. When it was the Clippers' turn to play, the cheers came and went, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
After the commentator Mike Breen got the starting lists of both sides, he briefly introduced the first time:
"The Clippers followed the lineup of the Western Conference Finals, and PJ-Tucker continued to start."
"The Cavaliers' lineup hasn't changed too much. Kyrie Irving and JR Smith are still in the backcourt, LeBron James and Kevin Love are on the front line, and Tristan Thompson is the center."
Although the critics before the game predicted that the game would be one-sided, Mark Jackson, as the guest of this game, naturally had to say something good:
"The Cavaliers have an inside advantage and grasp the rebounds. They still have a chance to win this game!"
Hearing the nonsense of his old partner, Jeff Van Gundy also followed the topic and said:
"As long as LeBron James can open up the situation and activate the Cavaliers' shooters, it will definitely cause huge troubles for the Clippers!"
The three naturally want to improve the strength of the Cavaliers. In the first game of the finals, the ratings should not be too bad. "Equal strength" is the scene everyone is looking forward to.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
The Clippers fans at the scene were wearing white cheering T-shirts. When they heard the DJ shouting, they immediately stood up and shouted together.
The game was about to start, and Li Ze first went up to say hello to the starting players of the Cavaliers, and then returned to his own half to rearrange the armguard on his left arm.
Compared with LeBron James' bitter face, Li Ze, who has absolute confidence in the team's strength, is naturally smiling, and he is even in the mood to chat with the referee Dan Crawford on the side.
As Jokic moved the ball to his own half, Paul George got the ball and threw it to Li Ze, and the Staples Center immediately burst into loud cheers.
As expected by the critics, JR-Smith is in charge of defending Li Ze tonight.
Tyronn Lue on the sidelines loudly reminded his players to do a good defensive matchup, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, quickly passed the half court at this time.
The Clippers pulled apart one by one, Harris and Tucker stood in the left and right corners, Paul George came to the right flank, and Jokic stood still near the baseline on the left.
LeBron James, who was on the line to mark Paul George, commanded his teammates to complete the positioning. The first task of the Cavaliers tonight is to protect the rebounds.
The huge cheering shouts in the arena seemed to make JR-Smith a little nervous.
Neither dared to step forward to defend, nor did he dare to defend Li Ze too much, so he kept moving. JR-Smith lowered his defensive focus and was always ready to complete the slide.
Facing the defensive arrangement of the Cavaliers, Li Ze didn't need a pick-and-roll after halftime.
Holding the ball in his right hand, after lowering the center of gravity, he continuously dribbled the ball and changed direction forward, slowly approaching the three-point line. Every slight shaking of the body made JR-Smith move nervously.
Unable to predict Li Ze's offensive choice, JR-Smith simply stepped forward to defend, trying to disrupt the offensive rhythm, but just as the center of gravity moved forward, Li Ze, who completed the dribble with his left hand, suddenly accelerated.
JR-Smith hurriedly slid to the right and back, but the defense reacted too much. Seeing Li Ze's simple cross step back and back outside the three-point line, it was too late to defend.
Shaking the defense away, Li Ze immediately joined the ball, ignoring JR-Smith's efforts to block the block, and quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Just one round, JR-Smith is heartbroken, and he will be blown up again tonight.
Many teams will pray that Li Ze's outside touch will be improved, but unfortunately, God can't control this matter. After so many years, Li Ze's improved state has nothing to do with him.
The Clippers scored 3 points in the opening game, and the fans sat down contentedly. Li Ze's state has never let them down.
LeBron James frowned as he watched from the sidelines, really couldn’t prevent it
The Cavaliers made a baseline kick, and Owen was led by Li Ze before halftime.
After the two entangled for half the time, Owen immediately gave the ball to Love at the top of the arc, and then cut inside to take away Li Ze's defense.
After receiving the pass, Love immediately turned sideways and held the ball in his left hand, trying to complete a hand-to-hand pass with LeBron James.
Harris on the side continued to interfere, and Paul George also strictly prevented LeBron James on the left wing from receiving the ball.
Faced with such a defense, James immediately stayed away from the three-point line before receiving a pass from Love.
The two completed the pass, and Love immediately asked for the ball with his back in the left block.
The Cavaliers played a common tactic in the regular season. After James sent a lob pass, Love immediately put the ball with his right hand and hit with his back, pushing Harris to the low post on the left.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Amid the defensive cheers of the Clippers fans, Love approached the basket and quickly turned towards the bottom line, overwhelmed the defense, and turned around to shoot a jumper from the left side near the bottom line!
"state!"
The ball knocked out of the frame, and Jokic stuck Tristan Thompson behind him in the paint to prevent the opponent from rushing to grab the rebound. Tucker, who retracted, finally successfully received the backcourt rebound.
Except for Tristan Thompson, everyone in the Cavaliers retreated quickly. Tyronn Lue's game strategy before the game was to strictly guard against easy scoring in transition offenses.
After Li Ze received the ball, everyone in the Clippers accelerated towards the opponent's half.
Continuously accelerating along the left sideline, no one from the Cavaliers stepped forward to delay. When approaching the three-point line, Li Ze observed his position on the court. Facing JR-Smith's defense, he suddenly circled the ball behind his back with his left hand.
Li Ze, who lowered his center of gravity, held the ball with his right hand and pressed his shoulder to break through. JR-Smith only felt that Li Ze's speed was faster than last season, and he slid to the left rear with his breath.
Approaching the left elbow of the free throw line, Li Ze, who was on the move, dribbled the ball behind his back again, scooped the ball with his left hand and accelerated his breakthrough.
In the left block position, JR-Smith tried to strengthen his physical confrontation to slow down Li Ze's breakthrough, but faced with Li Ze's sudden half-turn, JR-Smith's defense froze for a moment
After the emergency stop, Li Ze twisted his body, and instantly wiped out JR-Smith's defense with the ball in his left hand. He came to the bottom left of the basket and jumped with both feet, quickly flying into the air.
Ignoring Love who jumped up to block the shot in front of him, Li Ze took advantage of his height and grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand.
"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!
Huge cheers resounded throughout the arena. After landing, Love almost sat on the floor, struggling to adjust his body center of gravity. In the end, it was Li Ze who pulled him to avoid hitting the street.
"Nice defense!"
Throwing down a word of praise, Li Ze turned his head and retreated to defend. Tristan Thompson, who had just returned to defend, raised his hand to indicate that it was his problem and failed to protect the basket in time.
"Kayce's speed is really too fast. After a fake move, he dribbled the ball twice and came to the basket to complete the attack. This talent cannot be limited at all!"
Mark Jackson only felt that the Cavaliers' defense was like paper, and it would be broken with a poke.
Jeff Van Gundy also felt that there were some problems with this group of defensive matchups. He just thought of the Cavaliers' substitute situation, and finally added helplessly:
"Jefferson, Shumpert, and Korver can't limit Kayce. It has to be said that the Cavaliers' coaching staff must accept such a score."
Owen was very uncomfortable being restricted by Li Ze's collar defense. This time, he played a high pick-and-roll with Tristan Thompson immediately after halftime.
After dribbling behind the back twice in a row with the ball in his left hand, Owen, who readjusted his steps, immediately accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
The quality of the screen is good, so that Li Ze can only continue to chase and defend behind Owen. Jokic at the top of the arc is quickly pushed by Owen's right hand and passed the ball in one step.
The fans booed immediately, and Irving, who was holding the ball in his left hand, went straight to the basket at this time.
Realizing that Li Ze behind him was still chasing and defending, Owen broke into the paint and jumped with both feet, grabbing the ball with both hands and pulling the bar sharply from left to right in the air.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally came to the bottom right of the basket, twisted his right wrist, trying to complete the rebound and release.
Unable to wait for the ball to come out, Li Ze, who had been waiting in the air for a long time, pressed the ball with his right hand and instantly flipped Owen's cap to the ground
"what!!"
Irving screamed and failed to make the referee whistle. Li Ze, who regained control of the ball, continued to accelerate with his right hand, and the Clippers launched a conversion attack.
Owen, who fell on the floor, hurriedly stood up and returned to the defense, only to find that Li Ze had already rushed past halftime.
Approaching the top of the arc, the constantly accelerating Li Ze has already attracted most of the attention of the Cavaliers returning to defense.
During the march, his right hand was in and out, and Li Ze, who was swaying left and right, held the ball in his right hand and accelerated again.
Tristan Thompson, who retreated the fastest, also adjusted his defensive focus and kept sliding to the left rear.
Seeing that Li Ze had rushed into the paint, LeBron James, who quickly returned to defense, went straight to the basket, jumped high and went straight to Li Ze, who was charging in three strides.
The two people under the basket blocked, and Li Ze in the air would naturally not forcefully attack. He threw the ball on the floor and passed it to Paul George who followed up.
After the three landed, Paul George, who received the pass, soared into the air, turned the ball around with both hands, and finally grabbed the ball with his right hand and smashed it into the basket!
"Boom!" The big windmill made a successful buckle!
"what!!"
After completing the dunk, Paul George roared passionately in front of James, and finally gave Li Ze a high-five to celebrate, before bouncing back to the defense.
0:7, less than 2 minutes into the game, the Clippers played a small climax
Tyronn Lue on the sidelines was a little confused at this time, looked at the bench, and finally did not request a timeout.
LeBron James stood on the baseline with a straight face, and the taunts of the Clippers fans came from his ears, and he was a little disheartened for a while:
"Why is the game always like this"
Thank you for your subscription support~
QAQ is not in good condition tonight, so I will not forcefully update it.
Tomorrow 3 chapters, finish the finals in one go,
The tail is not easy to write, and the efficiency of codewords at work has dropped.
The things promised to book friends will definitely be completed,
Don't worry about this,
But the code word speed will drop in the second half of the month QAQ
(End of this chapter)
On the night of May 5, in Oracle Arena, Warriors fans silently watched the big screen in the center of the venue.
At 126:113, with the last 29 seconds left in the game, Brogdon held the ball with a smile in the Warriors half and stopped attacking.
On the Clippers bench, Li Ze had already put on his training uniform, stood up, and waited for the end of the game with his teammates.
Jokic is waving with his two brothers. The two strong men are front-row tickets. They stand up and cheer to celebrate
There were no blind-eyed Warriors fans around to provoke, and everyone looked at the Warriors bench silently.
For Li Ze, the Western Division championship is just a small honor, but for many Warriors players, it is the achievement they have always longed for.
"shush"
When 24 seconds were up, scattered boos broke out in the Oracle Arena, not only for the winning Clippers, but also for the extremely disappointing Warriors.
Since the rise of Curry, the Warriors have not achieved much. They won 73 last season, and their only harvest was the Pacific Championship.
By this year's 67 wins, the Warriors didn't even win the Pacific Championship, and were taken away by the Clippers.
There are no scoring champions, assists champions, steals champions, or MVPs. Compared to LeBron James, perhaps the stars in the Western Conference are the worst.
The final buzz sounded, and Curry sat in his seat covered with a towel for a long time without getting up. No one knew how Curry felt at this time. He lost his position as the boss this season, but gained nothing.
Durant, who stood up, looked up at the score on the big screen, and looked very silent.
At 126:113, G4 of the Western Conference Finals was over. On the court, the Clippers cheered and rushed to the bench. They swept the four-star Warriors.
The experience of watching the visiting team accept the award at home was terrible. The Warriors fans didn't leave the stadium, and they didn't boo. Everyone just got up and watched Li Ze walk to the center of the field and hug Durant.
Compared with Curry's hard to let go of losing, Durant couldn't hold back anymore, joining a 73-win team, but it didn't bring any improvement to the results.
Just thinking about how critics would mock him during the offseason, Durant almost broke the defense directly.
Seeing the surrounding sports media rushing towards him, Durant hurriedly adjusted his emotions, made himself expressionless, and then patted Li Ze on the shoulder:
"Great game, Bro, hope you win the championship!"
Seeing Durant trying to keep his face expressionless, Li Ze smiled and shook his fist in greeting:
"I like this matchup, and I hope we can continue to play against each other next season!"
"."
Durant twitched the corner of his mouth, but finally didn't respond, and hugged Li Ze again.
Shouting "Bro" to everyone, and cheering when he came up, Paul George is much happier than Li Ze. He reached the finals for the first time in his career, and he couldn't hide his joy.
Eric Gordon also laughed out loud, a fallen genius back to the top, plagued by injuries during his time with the Pelicans, but healthy enough to play all 82 games after joining the Clippers.
In addition to the shrinking statistics in the Western Conference Finals, under the care of Li Ze, this season is considered to be the pinnacle of his career. Eric Gordon looked at the lost Warriors, and while sending blessings, he also secretly rejoiced:
"If I accepted Harden's invitation, maybe I would have gone home to fish by this time"
The Warriors had a smooth regular season this season. Even if Durant suffered an injury, Curry led the team to a winning streak.
Facing the 12-core Clippers, everyone can use the mental victory method to comfort themselves before the start of the series. After all, there are more All-Star players, and the fault tolerance rate is theoretically higher.
As a result, in the Western Conference Finals, all illusions were shattered, and Li Ze was so stable that he was hardly a human being. With an All-Star teammate, the series didn't have to be too hard.
The big-mouthed Green has been unusually silent since G3. After shaking hands with the Clippers players, he silently walked towards the player tunnel.
Clay and Li Ze made an appointment to meet in Los Angeles during the offseason, and soon left the field. Curry was the last Warriors player to come forward to say hello to Li Ze:
"Come on, Kayce, another championship and losing to a championship team will make me feel better."
Curry, who had adjusted his mood, put on a wry smile, and the hats of system players could not be removed for the time being.
Li Ze didn't say any words of consolation. As players of the same class, the two had known each other since college, and a large part of the reason for the loss of reputation was also caused by him.
For the unlucky guy in front of him, Li Ze just patted Curry on the shoulder, telling Curry to ease the depression in his heart, and continue the persecution next year.
The surrounding media reporters felt that it was not enough, and the Warriors who were swept out did not speak harshly.
In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans silently watched the Clippers walking back to the player tunnel talking and laughing. Everyone knew that the award was about to be presented again.
After changing into gray division championship T-shirts, Steve Ballmer and team staff also came to the center of the field with the players.
Although there were no ribbons or cheers, everyone was laughing when they held the cup together. The fruits of victory were extremely delicious!
For Steve Kerr, losing this season is also a major blow to him.
The Warriors have 4 All-Stars, and the team owner is willing to spend money. In this case, if they fail to achieve the expected results, the head coach is naturally responsible.
Coupled with the fact that he is also a rookie coach, Steve Kerr has already felt the crisis, and there is not much time left for him to prove himself.
In NBA circles, superstars have privileges, the cost of changing coaches is smaller, the failure of the four-star Warriors, and the announcement of Steve Kerr's dismissal after a while is no surprise to anyone.
The press conference of the Clippers must be a commendation meeting. When it comes to the Warriors, it naturally becomes a criticism meeting:
"Steve, with Durant joining, the team's regular season record has not improved, and the playoffs have not made it out of the West. How would you evaluate the performance of the Warriors this season?"
The ESPN reporter was not polite at all, and pointed the finger at Steve Kerr when he came up.
"Although this is the first year we have been running in with each other, stopping in the Western Conference Finals does not meet our pre-season expectations."
"Of course I am fully responsible for the team's problems. I underestimated the strength of the Clippers. There is no doubt that this season is a failure for the Warriors, but next year we will become better."
Steve Kerr on the stage looked serious. He knew that such an answer was not pleasing, but it was all from his heart.
The sports media knows that the Warriors will not change coaches next season, but if they can no longer win the championship, maybe the Warriors will undergo major changes.
The Clippers made it to the Finals again. On America's social media, many people complained before the finals started:
"Why is it the same opponent every year?"
Fans can complain, and for everyone in the Cavaliers, the last thing they want to see happened again.
If they face the Warriors, they can also imagine their advantages on the inside, and they also have weaknesses like Curry on the outside.
But facing the Clippers, you don't need to think about the opponent's defensive strategy. Li Ze strangled Irving, and Paul George faced LeBron James.
Let James play singles, others follow up, and try not to shrink the basket.
During the regular season, the Clippers used this tactic to control the Cavaliers to death
Fortunately, the two teams have only played against each other twice. The Cavaliers coaching staff is currently delusional and hopes that the situation will change in the finals.
After Li Ze won the division championship this year, he didn't say much in the interview, but left more opportunities to other teammates.
For him, this is the seventh time he has won the Western Conference division championship. There is nothing new and the sense of accomplishment is pitiful.
At the post-match press conference at this time, America's sports media was blowing up again, and everyone was praising his performance.
Most of the questions asked by the media in the audience are similar, and the winner can answer freely. Even if they taunt the opponent wildly, everyone will think it is a manifestation of personality
Li Ze answered the question with a smile on the surface, but his mind began to wander. At this moment, he finally understood why Michael Jordan locked the enemy in the void at the end of his career, and his self-imagined opponent began to provoke him:
"It turns out that invincible is really lonely"
On May 5, the Clippers flew back to Los Angeles with the trophy. Next season, the flag of the fifth division championship can be raised over the new arena.
The Clippers team reporter also posted a gossip on social media:
"Mr. Ballmer and Kayce will hold a symposium during the offseason, and the team will invite season ticket holders to build a new Clippers team!"
The Clippers will be able to move to the new arena in Inglewood in September.
In the new season, the Clippers will have a new training ground, a new office building, a new competition venue, and a new parking lot with abundant parking spaces.
The Clippers' farewell performance at the Staples Center is only this year's finals. Tickets for the finals have just been pre-sold and sold out.
No one likes that their home team always loses. The Lakers next door have lost. The current fans are completely old-fashioned. Most of the new generation of fans have gone to the Clippers.
On the other side of the ocean, Li Ze's fans naturally saw this news, but most fans don't have the sense of belonging of the local fans in America. Everyone's feelings are only:
"Li Zeniu X! Clippers champion!"
For Tianchao Sports Media, Li Ze has reached the finals, and everyone can go to Los Angeles for vacation again.
As for the outcome of the finals, is there any suspense?
Ze rushed forward, and Li Ze's fans couldn't hold back anymore. Since yesterday, the God Killing Conference has appeared frequently:
"If you don't understand, just ask, Michael Jordan has come to this era, can he play Li Ze's data?"
"Li Ze went back to the past and killed people randomly. He can also rule the 90s!"
"7 is greater than 6, the real GOAT is out!"
"Even Li Ze can get 40+10 every game with the bottom corner!"
This kind of post can be seen every day, tearing up Jamie by hand is no longer enough to satisfy Li Ze’s fans, after 60 billion Komi was beaten by high-level data, the only old Jordan fans left can’t stand it anymore .
The finals will officially start on June 6st, and the NBA has already started packaging and preheating the finals at this time.
Although the league doesn't like the sweep of the Western Conference finals, the referees have already exerted their strength, but the Warriors themselves are not up to date, and they did not withstand the stability +2
G3 gave the opportunity and held the initiative, but the two leading stars both missed the final attack.
After walking a free throw, the referee was scolded badly by Clippers fans. As a result, the Warriors themselves didn't seize the opportunity, and the scolding was for nothing.
There is G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight, and the game has not yet started. The sports media in America believe that the Cavaliers have already advanced.
Blake Griffin injured his right toe, and the Celtics officially announced that the surface brother will miss tonight's game.
Coupled with the injured Isaiah Thomas, in the absence of two main players, the Cavaliers will definitely win!
TNT will broadcast the Eastern Conference finals tonight, but before the game everyone is still discussing Li Ze's performance in this year's Western Conference playoffs.
In the studio, the host Ernie Johnson watched Li Ze’s playoff average data on the big screen behind him, and immediately said with a smile:
"Compared to last year, Kayce's efficiency has increased a lot, which is an unbelievable performance!"
Because the pressure of the first two rounds of the game was too low, this made Li Ze's playoff data this year even more outrageous!
西部季后赛的12场比赛中,李泽场均出场32分钟,场均拿到39.7分6.8篮板11.5助攻1.8抢断0.9盖帽0.3失误;
The shooting percentage was 77.4%, the three-point shooting percentage was 64.2%, and the free throw percentage was 100%.
Kenny Smith noticed that Li Ze averaged only 18.3 shots per game, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. For a while, he felt that Li Ze was really not human:
"If I remember correctly, Kayce shot 68.9 percent in the regular season, and the playoffs are still going up?"
"God! This simply broke my imagination of basketball. Score with just one shot? What kind of efficiency is this?"
When O'Neill saw this data, he simply opened his mouth wide in front of the camera, expressing his shock with an exaggerated expression:
"If you tell me this is the stats of a super center, I can barely accept it, but with the performance of outside players, I just want to say that Kayce is a real superman!"
"Superman" is the nickname given to Li Ze by the TNT quartet, and it's an appropriate title, anyway, America's fans like it very much.
Since Li Ze depreciated the stats of 40+ and 50+ in the playoffs, Charles Barkley has possessed lemon essence.
The Warriors were swept out of the Western Conference Finals, and after seeing Li Zefei's efficiency, Charles Barkley no longer tainted his milk, and said in a firm tone:
"Without any hope, LeBron James will fail again!"
"Kayce's numbers are hopeless, and the Cavaliers can already prepare for the vacation in advance."
A hit rate of close to [-]% basically means that Li Ze gets points when he takes a shot, and no one can stand it. Charles Barkley just fell, and the three people on the side nodded.
"I agree with Chuck, but basketball is round and anything is possible!"
"I believe LeBron is ready, regardless of the outcome of the finals, to reach the finals for many years is a great achievement."
The host Ernie Johnson did not sing the opposite. This year, the strength gap between the two teams is too large, so there is no need to downplay the Cavaliers.
Kenny Smith also firmly believes that there is no suspense in the finals, but he still sent his blessings:
"For LeBron, being able to lead his hometown team to re-emerge is good enough. As for the outcome of the Finals, it doesn't matter."
"Trust the process, Cleveland fans will support LeBron!"
"."
Li Ze, who had already returned to Los Angeles, accompanied Annie and brought up the baby in Beverly Hills. Watching the TNT four people begin to "believe the process" on TV, he was speechless for a while.
In this impetuous era, there is no need to pay attention to "believing in the process". Without a championship, the historical status will not be able to rise.
Annie likes Li Ze's state this year very much. In the past few years, it has been the most relaxing season, and she has spent more time with her.
"Going to buy a house over there in Inglewood? Moving next season!"
Annie, who gave birth to a baby, is a little fatter than before, and it is easier to take care of the baby, so she still maintains a mellow state.
Looking at the eager eyes of the black-haired Yujie beside him, Li Ze knew that it must be the moths of other girls.
Since buying a high-rise luxury apartment in New York, everyone has stopped tossing about the house. After redecorating the existing property in the past two years, everyone likes the feeling of furnishing a new home.
In Los Angeles, the current vacant house is a property that Taylor bought in the early years, but the Beverly Hills house has been converted into a vacation cabin.
Considering the security of Inglewoods, Li Ze finally nodded in agreement, hugged Annie and said in a low voice:
"Then let's arrange a new home together and pay more attention to security issues!"
"."
The Clippers will officially open the new arena in September. In terms of time, the finals can be regarded as a warm-up advertisement for the new arena.
The first task of Paul George, Harris, and Jokic returning to Los Angeles is to help the team promote the new arena and attract the attention of fans.
Before the start of the finals, the Clippers will take a two-day holiday as usual, and then they will accept an exclusive interview with the NBA. The team's operation department will also carry out a series of interactive activities to deepen the relationship with fans.
Everyone in the Clippers is busy with the new arena and the championship, but the Cavaliers who won that night did not show much joy.
Kyrie Irving put up a Lize-style stat:
22中15,三分线外7中4,罚球9中8,42分3篮板4助攻3失误,68.2%的投篮命中率,效率也上天了。
LeBron James, who focuses on scoring, also performed well:
27中15,三分线外6中1,罚球4中3,34分5篮板6助攻1抢断1盖帽5失误,一改上一场梦游的状态,天选之子展示了自己的统治力!
In the end, at 99:112, facing the Celtics who were short of major generals, the Cavaliers did not waste the opportunity and easily defeated their opponents at home and successfully won the match point!
The big score in the series came to 3:1, and there is not much suspense in the game.
Back in Boston the night after tomorrow, Celtics fans will be at the North Shore Garden to see the Cavaliers reach the Finals again.
America's sports media has been completely conquered by Li Ze's data. In the past few years, Owen's performance can be regarded as mediocre.
If a star player cannot shoot more than [-]% of his field goals, he cannot be called a superstar in the league. Li Ze has raised the standard of a superstar by himself.
About to enter the finals again, LeBron James, who was interviewed, was not as confident as last year, and in the end he just made a low-key statement:
"The series is not over yet. At present, I am focusing on the G5 game. You know, the Celtics have deep strength, and we will not be careless."
"As for the championship, I will definitely go all out, that is what I have been pursuing!"
Answered in a satisfactory manner, LeBron James was sprayed miserably on social media after the game:
"Superstar with no confidence! LeBron James is the biggest jerk I've ever seen!"
"The Clippers shouted the slogan of 16 wins and 0 losses, why didn't James respond?"
"The 8th runner-up, LeBron James has finally achieved a historic achievement. Congratulations!"
"Send a championship every year, LeBron James should give the opportunity to other players."
"The teams in the Eastern Conference are so soft, why can no one beat the Cavaliers?"
"."
Fans don't like to see LeBron James vs. Li Ze for many years in a row, and everyone expects the finals to be one-sided.
America's ball critic fired a map shot, accusing other teams in the league of not wanting to compete for the championship, but as long as there is a team that can beat the Cavaliers and Clippers, the finals will be much more exciting.
No matter what the outside world thinks, the Cavaliers flew to Boston on the 25th after a day's rest, and once again gave the opponent a big defeat.
The Cavaliers' shooters also opened up, and LeBron James, who was in excellent form, scored 100 points with a 11% shooting rate in the first quarter.
At 43:27, at the end of the first quarter, there was no sound in the North Shore Garden Arena, and the Cavaliers had already led by 1 points.
In the end, the Celtics lost a game at home, 135:102, the Cavaliers beat their opponents, swept the gentleman 4:1, and entered the finals again!
全场出场35分钟,勒布朗-詹姆斯18中13,三分线外7中4,罚球8中5,砍下35分8篮板8助攻3抢断1盖帽2失误的数据。
The Cavaliers made 41 of 19 from outside the three-point line, and shot 46.3% of the three-pointers. In addition, there were only 11 turnovers in the game, and the Celtics were already beaten.
It was also in the away game that he won the division championship and when he lifted the round trophy, LeBron James finally showed a smile.
Irving and Love also forgot about the finals and yelled and celebrated with their teammates.
Tyronn Lue also showed a gratified smile, no matter what the future holds, having a division championship is considered a half-champion coach.
On May 5, the NBA released a trailer for the finals:
"Road to the Finals"
It's just that after the trailer was released, fans complained about it. This year's road to the finals is too easy. The Clippers swept all the way, and the situation of the Cavaliers is almost the same.
The offensive performances of the two teams in the promotional video are really good, and the edited shots of the role players also showed up, but the fans didn't quite buy it.
The wonderful duel as imagined did not happen. If the finals turned into a one-sided game again, the lemon spirits will shout "refund"
Li Ze's winning the championship for many years has indeed brought some inconvenience to the league.
After the "This is why we play" alliance changed its slogan, the follow-up advertising videos will naturally also be changed.
As a result, the championships in the past few years belong to Li Ze, and the shots involving the championship team are all owned by the Clippers.
It’s no wonder the fans complained. In the finals these years, there are only two protagonists, LeBron James and Li Ze. Even those who love basketball can’t stand it.
Of course, for the Clippers fans, there is no such trouble. The abuse of food has become everyone’s favorite. In the fan activities organized by the Clippers these days, the swollen fans shouted every day:
"Clippers in Four!"
The achievement of 16 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs is about to be achieved again, and the Clippers fans can't wait to sweep their opponents with a big score in the finals.
On May 5, everyone from the Cavaliers arrived in Los Angeles, and hometown basketball met the Clippers for the third time.
The low-key LeBron James did not accept interviews with reporters, and the Cavaliers team reporters also posted news on social media:
"LeBron is fully committed to the Finals, and the Cavaliers will do wonders!"
It's a pity that except for the fans in Cleveland who believe that the Cavaliers can win, most fans think that the Clippers will win easily.
On the afternoon of June 6, everyone in the Clippers team warmed up in advance at the Staples Arena. Li Ze, who was in a training uniform, fully moved his body and began to shoot at will.
The public warm-up naturally attracted many media reporters. Everyone looked at Li Ze's state of throwing all the chickens in, and felt that LeBron James would lose again tonight!
The reason why no one is optimistic about the Cavaliers is that the defensive resources can't keep up.
Last season has proved that LeBron James' defensive effect is very poor. In tonight's game, there is a high probability that JR-Smith and Li Ze will face each other again.
The old work was renewed, and when the Clippers finished warming up, the sports reporters around couldn't wait to get in front of Li Ze:
"Kayce, meeting LeBron James again in the Finals, how do you feel about that?"
Li Ze always felt that such a question seemed familiar, and he seemed to answer it once a year:
"Welcome LeBron to Los Angeles, it's good to see old rivals, hope this is a good series!"
Compared with Li Ze's relaxed state of mind, LeBron James is far behind. After so many years in the finals, it is really a loss
As long as he thinks that this year's opponent is the 74-win Clippers, LeBron James can't make a smile.
After the Cavaliers also completed their warm-up, James, who was asked the same question, almost broke the defense on the spot. Fortunately, he finally controlled his emotions and finally replied numbly:
"I am very happy to play against the Clippers again. For tonight's game, we will definitely go all out."
"LeBron, if you lose again this year, it will be the eighth time in your career that you have lost the Finals? How do you feel about that?"
The reporter from Yahoo Sports was merciless and helped James loan a runner-up. After hearing this question, James took a deep look at the other party, and finally sighed:
"Next question!"
"."
The 16-17 season finals are still broadcast by ESPN, and American fans can watch the game through the ABC channel.
Finals G1 officially kicked off at 21 o'clock that night, and enthusiastic Clippers fans naturally entered the venue early.
There are not many home games this year. In the playoffs, everyone only watched 6 games at their home courts. It was really not fun!
The excitement couldn't be vented. When it came to the finals, the Staples Arena became extremely noisy before the game started.
Many fans have already bought snacks and beer in advance. Clippers fans have a wealth of experience on how to better watch an abusive game.
When the players of the visiting team came on the field, LeBron James was expressionless, just took a deep look at the four championship banners above the arena.
"Shhh!!"
LeBron James, who had just appeared on the field, made the fans boo. When it was the Clippers' turn to play, the cheers came and went, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
After the commentator Mike Breen got the starting lists of both sides, he briefly introduced the first time:
"The Clippers followed the lineup of the Western Conference Finals, and PJ-Tucker continued to start."
"The Cavaliers' lineup hasn't changed too much. Kyrie Irving and JR Smith are still in the backcourt, LeBron James and Kevin Love are on the front line, and Tristan Thompson is the center."
Although the critics before the game predicted that the game would be one-sided, Mark Jackson, as the guest of this game, naturally had to say something good:
"The Cavaliers have an inside advantage and grasp the rebounds. They still have a chance to win this game!"
Hearing the nonsense of his old partner, Jeff Van Gundy also followed the topic and said:
"As long as LeBron James can open up the situation and activate the Cavaliers' shooters, it will definitely cause huge troubles for the Clippers!"
The three naturally want to improve the strength of the Cavaliers. In the first game of the finals, the ratings should not be too bad. "Equal strength" is the scene everyone is looking forward to.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
The Clippers fans at the scene were wearing white cheering T-shirts. When they heard the DJ shouting, they immediately stood up and shouted together.
The game was about to start, and Li Ze first went up to say hello to the starting players of the Cavaliers, and then returned to his own half to rearrange the armguard on his left arm.
Compared with LeBron James' bitter face, Li Ze, who has absolute confidence in the team's strength, is naturally smiling, and he is even in the mood to chat with the referee Dan Crawford on the side.
As Jokic moved the ball to his own half, Paul George got the ball and threw it to Li Ze, and the Staples Center immediately burst into loud cheers.
As expected by the critics, JR-Smith is in charge of defending Li Ze tonight.
Tyronn Lue on the sidelines loudly reminded his players to do a good defensive matchup, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, quickly passed the half court at this time.
The Clippers pulled apart one by one, Harris and Tucker stood in the left and right corners, Paul George came to the right flank, and Jokic stood still near the baseline on the left.
LeBron James, who was on the line to mark Paul George, commanded his teammates to complete the positioning. The first task of the Cavaliers tonight is to protect the rebounds.
The huge cheering shouts in the arena seemed to make JR-Smith a little nervous.
Neither dared to step forward to defend, nor did he dare to defend Li Ze too much, so he kept moving. JR-Smith lowered his defensive focus and was always ready to complete the slide.
Facing the defensive arrangement of the Cavaliers, Li Ze didn't need a pick-and-roll after halftime.
Holding the ball in his right hand, after lowering the center of gravity, he continuously dribbled the ball and changed direction forward, slowly approaching the three-point line. Every slight shaking of the body made JR-Smith move nervously.
Unable to predict Li Ze's offensive choice, JR-Smith simply stepped forward to defend, trying to disrupt the offensive rhythm, but just as the center of gravity moved forward, Li Ze, who completed the dribble with his left hand, suddenly accelerated.
JR-Smith hurriedly slid to the right and back, but the defense reacted too much. Seeing Li Ze's simple cross step back and back outside the three-point line, it was too late to defend.
Shaking the defense away, Li Ze immediately joined the ball, ignoring JR-Smith's efforts to block the block, and quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Just one round, JR-Smith is heartbroken, and he will be blown up again tonight.
Many teams will pray that Li Ze's outside touch will be improved, but unfortunately, God can't control this matter. After so many years, Li Ze's improved state has nothing to do with him.
The Clippers scored 3 points in the opening game, and the fans sat down contentedly. Li Ze's state has never let them down.
LeBron James frowned as he watched from the sidelines, really couldn’t prevent it
The Cavaliers made a baseline kick, and Owen was led by Li Ze before halftime.
After the two entangled for half the time, Owen immediately gave the ball to Love at the top of the arc, and then cut inside to take away Li Ze's defense.
After receiving the pass, Love immediately turned sideways and held the ball in his left hand, trying to complete a hand-to-hand pass with LeBron James.
Harris on the side continued to interfere, and Paul George also strictly prevented LeBron James on the left wing from receiving the ball.
Faced with such a defense, James immediately stayed away from the three-point line before receiving a pass from Love.
The two completed the pass, and Love immediately asked for the ball with his back in the left block.
The Cavaliers played a common tactic in the regular season. After James sent a lob pass, Love immediately put the ball with his right hand and hit with his back, pushing Harris to the low post on the left.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Amid the defensive cheers of the Clippers fans, Love approached the basket and quickly turned towards the bottom line, overwhelmed the defense, and turned around to shoot a jumper from the left side near the bottom line!
"state!"
The ball knocked out of the frame, and Jokic stuck Tristan Thompson behind him in the paint to prevent the opponent from rushing to grab the rebound. Tucker, who retracted, finally successfully received the backcourt rebound.
Except for Tristan Thompson, everyone in the Cavaliers retreated quickly. Tyronn Lue's game strategy before the game was to strictly guard against easy scoring in transition offenses.
After Li Ze received the ball, everyone in the Clippers accelerated towards the opponent's half.
Continuously accelerating along the left sideline, no one from the Cavaliers stepped forward to delay. When approaching the three-point line, Li Ze observed his position on the court. Facing JR-Smith's defense, he suddenly circled the ball behind his back with his left hand.
Li Ze, who lowered his center of gravity, held the ball with his right hand and pressed his shoulder to break through. JR-Smith only felt that Li Ze's speed was faster than last season, and he slid to the left rear with his breath.
Approaching the left elbow of the free throw line, Li Ze, who was on the move, dribbled the ball behind his back again, scooped the ball with his left hand and accelerated his breakthrough.
In the left block position, JR-Smith tried to strengthen his physical confrontation to slow down Li Ze's breakthrough, but faced with Li Ze's sudden half-turn, JR-Smith's defense froze for a moment
After the emergency stop, Li Ze twisted his body, and instantly wiped out JR-Smith's defense with the ball in his left hand. He came to the bottom left of the basket and jumped with both feet, quickly flying into the air.
Ignoring Love who jumped up to block the shot in front of him, Li Ze took advantage of his height and grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand.
"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!
Huge cheers resounded throughout the arena. After landing, Love almost sat on the floor, struggling to adjust his body center of gravity. In the end, it was Li Ze who pulled him to avoid hitting the street.
"Nice defense!"
Throwing down a word of praise, Li Ze turned his head and retreated to defend. Tristan Thompson, who had just returned to defend, raised his hand to indicate that it was his problem and failed to protect the basket in time.
"Kayce's speed is really too fast. After a fake move, he dribbled the ball twice and came to the basket to complete the attack. This talent cannot be limited at all!"
Mark Jackson only felt that the Cavaliers' defense was like paper, and it would be broken with a poke.
Jeff Van Gundy also felt that there were some problems with this group of defensive matchups. He just thought of the Cavaliers' substitute situation, and finally added helplessly:
"Jefferson, Shumpert, and Korver can't limit Kayce. It has to be said that the Cavaliers' coaching staff must accept such a score."
Owen was very uncomfortable being restricted by Li Ze's collar defense. This time, he played a high pick-and-roll with Tristan Thompson immediately after halftime.
After dribbling behind the back twice in a row with the ball in his left hand, Owen, who readjusted his steps, immediately accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
The quality of the screen is good, so that Li Ze can only continue to chase and defend behind Owen. Jokic at the top of the arc is quickly pushed by Owen's right hand and passed the ball in one step.
The fans booed immediately, and Irving, who was holding the ball in his left hand, went straight to the basket at this time.
Realizing that Li Ze behind him was still chasing and defending, Owen broke into the paint and jumped with both feet, grabbing the ball with both hands and pulling the bar sharply from left to right in the air.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally came to the bottom right of the basket, twisted his right wrist, trying to complete the rebound and release.
Unable to wait for the ball to come out, Li Ze, who had been waiting in the air for a long time, pressed the ball with his right hand and instantly flipped Owen's cap to the ground
"what!!"
Irving screamed and failed to make the referee whistle. Li Ze, who regained control of the ball, continued to accelerate with his right hand, and the Clippers launched a conversion attack.
Owen, who fell on the floor, hurriedly stood up and returned to the defense, only to find that Li Ze had already rushed past halftime.
Approaching the top of the arc, the constantly accelerating Li Ze has already attracted most of the attention of the Cavaliers returning to defense.
During the march, his right hand was in and out, and Li Ze, who was swaying left and right, held the ball in his right hand and accelerated again.
Tristan Thompson, who retreated the fastest, also adjusted his defensive focus and kept sliding to the left rear.
Seeing that Li Ze had rushed into the paint, LeBron James, who quickly returned to defense, went straight to the basket, jumped high and went straight to Li Ze, who was charging in three strides.
The two people under the basket blocked, and Li Ze in the air would naturally not forcefully attack. He threw the ball on the floor and passed it to Paul George who followed up.
After the three landed, Paul George, who received the pass, soared into the air, turned the ball around with both hands, and finally grabbed the ball with his right hand and smashed it into the basket!
"Boom!" The big windmill made a successful buckle!
"what!!"
After completing the dunk, Paul George roared passionately in front of James, and finally gave Li Ze a high-five to celebrate, before bouncing back to the defense.
0:7, less than 2 minutes into the game, the Clippers played a small climax
Tyronn Lue on the sidelines was a little confused at this time, looked at the bench, and finally did not request a timeout.
LeBron James stood on the baseline with a straight face, and the taunts of the Clippers fans came from his ears, and he was a little disheartened for a while:
"Why is the game always like this"
