The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 436 Explosion Seeds Are Useless? (8000 word chapter)
In G2 of the finals, the suspense was lost again at halftime. The Amerika Sports media on the scene naturally slammed the Cavaliers' defense at halftime.

Rational ball critics have long expected such a situation in the finals. The average age of the Cavaliers is too high, and the physical condition of the veterans will definitely decline.

But for the Chinese sports media, such a match would be celebrating the Chinese New Year in situ!
CCTV Sports Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping on the scene will neutrally help the Cavaliers with ideas. On the Penguin Sports side, everyone began to discuss Li Ze's historical status after winning the seventh championship.
"The only thing I regret about these 7 champions is the strength of their opponents!"

"The Eastern Conference really has no decent opponents. James rules the Eastern Conference and Li Ze rules the league. There is nothing wrong with that!"

Yang Yi has already helped Li Ze get a loan for the seventh championship. The finals are not over yet, and he has already sold Li Ze's championship T-shirt.
Ke Xiaofan also felt a little regretful, he was considered half a Warriors fan, watching the Finals was not as difficult as the Western Conference Finals, so he added:
"Mr. Yang is also right. This year, we and our colleagues in America predicted that whoever wins the Western Conference Championship will win the final championship."

"Seven consecutive championships! Since detailed technical statistics are available, this achievement has surpassed Michael Jordan. This year won the championship, and the Clippers also completed five consecutive championships. With another championship, there is no suspense for being the first in history!"

It seemed that it was inappropriate to discuss these things on the spot, so Yang Yi changed the subject with a smile:
"Going back to Cleveland in G3, if the Cavaliers lose again, they will definitely make some moves during the offseason. The league's first salary has failed for three consecutive years!"

"No matter how sentimental the owner is, he will not continue to pay the bill. If LeBron James no longer competes for the championship, there are actually many teams that are suitable for him."

"."

America's sports media is also discussing where LeBron James should play recently.

At the end of his career, if he no longer pursues a championship, joining a team in a big market is definitely a good choice!

The departure of the Chosen One can also bring some young talents to the Cavaliers. This is a win-win decision!

LeBron James, who has entered the playoff mode, does not know that the sports media has applied for a trade for him. Everyone is waiting for "Decision 3" to be staged in the offseason after losing in the finals.
In the third quarter, the Cavaliers also failed to launch any counterattacks. The defensive strength declined and the scoring continued to rise, but the point difference did not shrink.

In the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans have long begun to enjoy the game. This is the last time the home team played in the finals at the Staples Arena. Tonight everyone has witnessed a historic moment.

Steve Ballmer, who was sitting under the basketball stand, was the happiest. As long as he thought that the new arena was about to be put into use, the old man could not wait for the finals to end quickly and take O'Brien back to the new arena.

The exhibition halls are all ready, and everything is ready. It is only due to Dongfeng that the Clippers will completely transform when the game starts next season.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Amidst the defensive cheers of the Clippers fans, LeBron James hit another iron from outside the three-point line.

Seeing that everyone in the Clippers was still accelerating and launching a transition attack again, the Chosen One simply gave up chasing and defending. After watching the Clippers pass the ball continuously, Li Ze succeeded in breaking through and shooting from the right flank.
Tyronn Lue on the sidelines looked a bit ugly, the chicken soup during the intermission didn't help, and the team's defense had completely collapsed.

With 3 minute and 1 seconds left in the third quarter, the two sides began to replace the main content, and the game officially entered garbage time.

At 24:30 in the single quarter, after three quarters, 78:103, the point difference is still 25 points.
The Clippers fans at the scene felt a little regretful when they saw that Li Ze had changed into the training uniform again. The last finals at the Staples Arena was another three-quarter check-in!

"It seems that the Cavaliers are having a hard time finding touch on the perimeter tonight. With a three-point shooting percentage of about [-]%, it is impossible to win!"

Mark Jackson glanced at the technical statistics and felt that the Cavaliers in this series were completely over, even the best three-pointers were gone.

"Don't forget that the Clippers are the team that is best at three-pointers. Kayce made 485 three-pointers this year, which greatly refreshed the record he set last year!"

"Look at how the Warriors restricted Kayce's three-pointers in the Western Conference Finals. The Cavaliers did a terrible job!"

Jeff Van Gundy didn't forget to complain about the quality of the Cavaliers' single defense at this time. Compared with the Warriors' striker group, this is the same as giving away for nothing.
LeBron James, who was sitting on the bench, remained expressionless.

Perhaps years of consecutive failures have completely numb the Chosen One, and James didn't even have much emotional fluctuations after losing tonight.

On the contrary, Irving looked very frustrated. It was a joy to reach the finals for the third time in his career, but a big loss ruined everything.

As for Kevin Love, who was sitting in his seat, his mind was wandering at this time. He had already tried his best in tonight's game!

Tyronn Lue watched the atmosphere group of the Clippers continue to attack hard, and couldn't help but twitched his mouth. This is another 130 points.
In the fourth quarter, the referee seldom blew his whistle, and everyone wanted to end the game as soon as possible.

Amid the cheers of the Clippers fans, the final score was fixed at 106:131. The Clippers at home defeated the Cavaliers again, and the series came to 2:0!

LeBron James turned his head away in the first moments of the game and lost another 25 points tonight. Such a result is really unacceptable.

When ESPN reporters interviewed Li Ze, they also started to bring up old stories again:
"Kayce, once again beat the opponent by 25 points, does this mean that the Clippers will sweep the opponent and win the championship?"

"Leading the team to 16 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs twice is definitely a remarkable achievement!"

Li Ze didn't expect that Amelia's sports media would now be so casual about the loan champion, and finally replied modestly:
"Luck is also a part of strength. The Clippers were lucky in these two games and played the offense we wanted!"

"The next game is going to Cleveland, we are ready!"

The ESPN reporter looked weird. If it was really luck, Li Ze was probably possessed by God, and he could score goals with a throw.

However, Li Ze's answer made Amika's sports media very satisfied. In any case, LeBron James is one of his own. Even if he loses, he should lose decently.
With the affirmation and encouragement of GOAT, he has become an opponent for many years in a row, which also shows that the Chosen One is of a high level!
On the morning of June 6th, everyone in the Cavaliers had set off to go home. Two days later, they will usher in the G5 life-and-death battle at home.

America's ball critics were a little dissatisfied at this time. LeBron James did not attend last night's press conference. The official reason given by the Cavaliers was that their back was tense and they needed to recuperate in time after the game.

Everyone knows in their hearts that LeBron James has a high probability of being emotionally broken. The pressure of consecutive losses is unbearable for many players. The critics understand it, and what should be sprayed must be sprayed!

ESPN's programs rarely criticize LeBron James, but this year's two consecutive big losses, the performance is really unreasonable:

“18中10，其中三分球3中1，罚球5中4，25分8篮板7助攻1抢断4失误，勒布朗-詹姆斯看起来毫无赢球的欲望！”

"This is your team, the Cavaliers have built a suitable offensive system for you!"

"But I failed to activate the role players for two consecutive games, and I didn't get too many points. This performance in the finals is unacceptable."

Stephen-A-Smith fired full fire and entered the state of tearing James.
Although Max Kellermann agreed with this point of view in his heart, he refuted on the surface:

"The playoffs start with an away game win. The Cavaliers still have a chance. As long as they protect their two home games, they have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Stephen-A-Smith has always dismissed this statement, and finally just asked a simple question:
"I don't think the Cavaliers can do the tasks that the Warriors failed to accomplish. The regular season has already explained the problem. How many wins does the Cavaliers have?"

Seeing his partner spread his hands and make a helpless expression, Stephen-A-Smith restrained his emotions and continued to conclude:
"If they go back home and the Cavaliers' three-pointers pick up, they do have a chance to win back."

"But I still don't think they can win the championship. Kayce is too stable. In my impression, he hasn't had a bad moment in the playoffs yet!"

The director also timely showed Li Ze's G2 data to the fans:
“18中13，三分线外9中6，罚球5中5，37分5篮板11助攻2抢断1盖帽。”

Max Kellerman also feels that the Cavaliers are likely to be cold, but there is still a glimmer of hope for the fans in the show:
"Never underestimate a heart to pursue a championship. I believe LeBron will give a strong response after returning to the home court."

"."

On Reddit, the traffic of the Cavaliers section has exploded recently, and the fun fans came here to recruit LeBron James for their home team.

"Join the Knicks! Good brother Anthony is also in New York, and the two can still continue to chase the championship together."

"Why don't you come to the Lakers to play? We can send away a few rookies and draft picks!"

"I hope that the arrival of LeBron James will make Luke Walton officially dismissed! Los Angeles does not welcome parallel coaches!"

"Let's choose to join the Celtics! We lack the height of the striker!"

"The most important thing is that we still have the No. [-] pick this year. There will be no talent troubles in the future, which perfectly meets the requirements of LeBron James."

Fans, you talk to each other and leave crazy messages on the forum. The Cavaliers fans are completely autistic. Before the finals start, LeBron James will leave his hometown?
On the morning of June 6, the Clippers set off for Cleveland.

Tomorrow night they will usher in G3 of the finals, with a big score of 2:0 lead, and no one is nervous.

After the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland, they did not accept too many interviews with media reporters.

The team officially announced that it is fully preparing for G3, but most of the sports media did not buy it for this reason. They lost two games in a row by a big score. What else are they preparing for?
No matter how hard America's sports media is, LeBron James is low-key preparing for the game and does not accept any interviews.

In contrast, Li Ze, who flew to Cleveland, did not have so many scruples, and the sports media of America could interview him in the training hall.

But everyone is not in the mood to brag about business at this time, and the interview with Li Ze did not break the news, and the son of the chosen one is more topical:
"Where is LeBron James going?" is the latest traffic hotspot!

The big-mouthed football critics are also waiting for the results of G3. If the Cavaliers win, everyone can brag about it. If they lose in G3, they will punch hard after the game, mocking crazily.
Compared with the finals in previous years, most players in the league this year did not speak out on social media. The players are not ball critics. Anyone who has personally played against Li Ze knows that this round of the series is not much suspense.

There are still many players who have simply laid down, the championship is hopeless, and they have also won big contracts, and they will live as champions!
On the afternoon of June 6, before the start of G7 of the finals, LeBron James finally accepted an interview with media reporters.

The most asked question is naturally tonight's game. After two days of adjustments, LeBron James has completely restrained his emotions:

"We will definitely protect the home court. This is a game that cannot be lost. I have lost too many times. I will go all out for tonight's game!"

When asked where he was planning to go during the offseason, LeBron James almost couldn't hold back, and finally replied quite low-key:
"I haven't considered the offseason issue. I'm currently focusing on tonight's game. My contract with the Cavaliers is not over yet. Time will give the answer."

LeBron James, who is wearing a training uniform, no longer has the high-spirited feeling he had in the early years. In the past few years when he returned to his hometown, James has become more and more low-key.

In addition to speaking out on some social events, most of the offseason is devoted to training or focusing on charity in Akron.

LeBron James' performance naturally regained the trust of the Cleveland fans. Everyone believes that the Chosen One can lead the team to break the curse.

Even if he keeps losing, as long as James is still playing in Cleveland, Cavaliers fans will always support him. Everyone likes to see the loyal son of heaven.

After Li Ze came to Cleveland, he soon found that there were fewer and fewer sports media interviewing him.

This year's finals also had no celebrities present to support. Obviously, the former waves who were photographed on the beach didn't like to see Li Ze become the real No.1 in history.

For this situation, Li Ze doesn't mind, as long as he wins the championship, the influence of the 7 consecutive championships will diverge, which has already achieved his goal.

After the Clippers completed their routine warm-up at the Quicken Loans Center Arena, Paul George couldn't help complaining about his treatment for the past two days:
"It's not our problem that the finals were played easily. The most boring finals? I don't know what kind of game these media are looking forward to."

I thought the finals would explode, but I didn't expect it to cause crazy complaints from everyone. Paul George was a little unhappy. This was the first time in his career that he reached the finals.
"Of course everyone expects that the two sides will be evenly matched, the game will be played until the last second, and the final lore will win."

"But we are a team with 74 wins, the basic data is the first in the league, and the gap in strength is visible to the naked eye. Ball critics have long known that this is just not in line with the script in the hearts of fans!"

"A champion is a champion, don't care about other factors!"

Li Ze, who has already won 6 championships, is naturally not as impetuous as Paul George. This situation will be alleviated in the offseason, and the critics will naturally blow it up.
"Win the game early and end the series early, I think it will be a good thing for everyone!"

Harris, who doesn't like to make a sound, also added at this time that for this year's food abuse war, Harris feels that he has not had the sense of accomplishment as last year's champion.

G3 of the Finals still officially kicks off at 21 o'clock in the evening. It is a life-and-death battle at home, and Cleveland fans will naturally give their full support.

The atmosphere is gradually heating up, and Cavaliers fans hope to bring energy to the home team with their shouts.

In the Cavaliers locker room before the game, Tyronn Lue looked serious, looked at the players in front of him, and showed his cards completely:
"We have no room for adjustment. In such a critical game, the core players must come forward!"

"LeBron, I hope you can play a full 48 minutes in this game. If you feel tired during the game, give feedback in time, otherwise, I won't replace you!"

"."

LeBron James nodded silently. He is already mentally prepared. This is indeed a game that cannot be lost, and there is no need to consider physical issues at all!
No chicken soup, no tactical adjustments, Tyronn Lue just explained tonight's rotation in a simple and clear way, trying to use this attitude to awaken the blood in the players' hearts.
From the moment the players of the home team came out, the Quicken Loans Arena entered a frenzied state, and the Cavaliers fans kept shouting loudly.

After Tristan Thompson successfully jumped the ball, LeBron James went into attack mode.

James was on the left flank in the first round, rushing to the basket and scoring two points against Paul George's defense.

"what!!"

After finishing the goal, LeBron James beat his chest angrily, roared in a low voice, and then called his teammates to retreat quickly. The fans in the front row were excited to see that LeBron James was about to appear!
The Clippers took the baseline kick, but Li Ze didn't speed up the advance, and halftime passed for 8 seconds.

At this time, everyone in the Clippers has completed their positions, and JR-Smith stepped forward to lead the defense again.

Li Ze, who came to the left flank, held the ball in his right hand. He realized that the Cavaliers did not choose to double-team the defense. He turned his back to protect the ball, and slowly approached the three-point line.

There was still no double-team on the line, Li Ze quickly dribbled the ball behind his back, paused slightly after switching to his left hand, and immediately changed direction while JR-Smith slid to the right.

Pretending to break through with the ball in his right hand, Li Ze's body center of gravity suddenly lowered, and JR-Smith slid back to the left desperately in response to stress.

Just approaching the three-point line, Li Ze, holding the ball in his right hand, made a large cross step and pulled back, swayed a position, immediately joined the ball on the three-point line, faced the defense, and quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

JR-Smith seemed very helpless. If he could not slide in time, he would be crushed and break through with a high probability;
If the slide is too early, you will be hit with a three-point shot. If the defense is not out of position, once you are pushed to the block position, the unsolvable mid-range will come.
"Shh!"

Li Ze's score in the sports game was booed by the Cavaliers fans at the scene.

Perhaps having learned the lessons of the previous two games, LeBron James stopped passing the ball to his teammates tonight.

After halftime, he asked for the ball again. The right flank received a pass from Irving. Love raised the pick-and-roll.

Facing Harris, who came up from the defense, James pressed the defense all the way to the right block, slowed down and hit with his back, switched to his left hand and approached the paint.

Noticing that Harris was strictly guarding the line, James immediately turned quickly towards the baseline, and at the same time directly joined the ball, turned over and made a jumper!
After scoring 4 points in a row, LeBron James, who returned to defense, roared passionately again, and the Quicken Loans Center Arena was completely boiling.

The Cavaliers tried to speed up the offensive rhythm, but Li Ze still dribbled across the half court unhurriedly, observing the Cavaliers' defensive strategy.

This time Tristan Thompson jumped up immediately. At the same time, Love, who was marking Harris in the right corner, quickly rotated defensively and followed Jokic near the paint.

Suddenly changed the defensive strategy. The Clippers had been prepared. Jokic trotted all the way to the free throw line. After Li Ze completely attracted the two men to attack, he immediately gave the ball to Jokic.

Before Love can make an oppressive defense, Jokic immediately sent a pass to the ground. After receiving the ball, Harris, who cut in without the ball, quickly took off along the baseline and dunked with both hands!

The transfer speed of the ball was too fast. From Li Ze's ball to Jokic's ball, there was no pause. The Clippers had already made various double-team plans.

Li Ze, who retreated, clapped his hands calmly, indicating that this was a good offense. On the other side, LeBron James also loudly encouraged his teammates to continue to implement this defensive strategy.

LeBron James, who was in excellent form, kept attacking the basket, trying to cause Jokic's foul, but the fat man didn't reach out at all, and watched James rush to the basket for several consecutive rounds.

The Cavaliers frantically double-teamed Li Ze and let him play the ball quickly. As a result, either Harris cut in without the ball, or Paul George went online and forced his way to the basket.

LeBron James blew up the ball on the left flank and scored a three-pointer with a sudden shot!

The Cavaliers continued to double-team. After the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Jokic went down. Tristan Thompson attacked too quickly and was pierced by Li Ze's ground pass.

Fatty Bai scored two points under the basket against Love who came up from the defense.

At 16:17, the two sides continued to score, which made the Cavaliers fans scream excitedly.

LeBron James, who just threw a three-pointer in the last round, dribbled the ball through the half court this time. Paul George was prepared, and immediately jumped up to defend when James' right wing suddenly stopped.

The rewarding three-pointer failed to score, and LeBron James immediately retreated quickly.

The long rebound bounced into Li Ze's hands, and the Cavaliers fans immediately let out an exclamation.

Li Ze continued to accelerate along the right sideline. After passing the center line, his right hand quickly circled the ball behind his back, and JR-Smith, who was on defense, quickly slid to the right.

Anticipating the opponent's defensive movement, Li Ze, who had just switched to his left hand, quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch. After an emergency stop, he held the ball in his right hand and accelerated again.

Losing his defensive position in an instant, JR-Smith hurriedly chased and defended beside him. Just after reaching the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly stopped and pulled back under his crotch.

The movement range is not large, but it is very concealed. Facing the sudden stop, JR-Smith was completely shaken away. When he wanted to jump up and defend, Li Ze had already made a quick jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" Three-pointer and then scored!

At 19:17, the Clippers completed another overtake.

The game entered the official timeout, and the Quicken Loans Center Arena was booed for a while, and LeBron James went crazy, but it turned out that the score fell behind again.
"The Clippers have too many people who can handle the ball. Double-teaming is all about sending points. The opportunities to play more and less are all seized!"

Jeff Van Gundy feels that the current lineup of the Clippers is simply incomprehensible. In addition to the problem of defending against pick-and-rolls on the defensive end, the offensive end can be inside and outside, and is not afraid of double-teaming.

"But the Cavaliers' defensive choice is correct, and they should continue to use this defensive strategy!"

Mark Jackson felt that Tyronn Lue had finally made the right choice, and it was over if he resolutely double-teamed.

Fans of the Cavaliers are expecting the team to continue the fiery touch of the first half of the game, but it was Irving who struck the iron first.

After the pick-and-roll, the free throw line made an emergency stop at the mid-range and hit the frame. The rebound was successfully accepted by Jokic, and then the ball flew straight to the Cavaliers half court.

The fast-down Li Ze had just caught the ball with his left hand, and Tristan Thompson immediately chased him up. His positive defensive attitude immediately made the Cavaliers fans cheer loudly.

At the same time, everyone in the Cavaliers retreated desperately, and the delayed defense finally played a role. After LeBron James retreated to halftime, he hurriedly directed his teammates to complete the defense.

Without a chance to switch offense, Li Ze started to slow down near the top of the arc.

Seeing that everyone was standing still, Li Ze suddenly lowered his center of gravity, faced Tristan Thompson's defense, and dribbled the ball under his crotch twice in a row with his left hand.

Li Ze leaned forward and approached the three-point line with small steps. Tristan Thompson raised his right hand and quickly lowered his body's center of gravity.

Seeing that Li Ze suddenly accelerated his dribbling speed, dribbled the ball under his crotch twice, and suddenly thrust his body forward, Tristan Thompson subconsciously moved back, and then realized something was wrong.

"Shet!"

With a low curse, Tristan Thompson fought hard to defend, Li Ze suddenly retreated, and quickly shot a long-range three-pointer!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

"Shhh!!"

At 22:17, seeing that the point difference came to 5 points, some sensitive Cavaliers fans exclaimed, and then booed wildly again.

Taking advantage of the baseline serve, LeBron James clapped his hands and hurriedly reminded his teammates loudly:

"Hey, double-team in time, echo!"

Paul George only felt that LeBron James was hanging up tonight, and he didn't miss it when he finished against his defensive basket.

LeBron James made a crushing breakthrough again, and the Cavaliers fans on the scene shouted with excitement again.

Jokic sent the baseline ball and saw Li Ze raised his eyebrows. The two crossed the center line. The fat man suddenly made a high pick-and-roll at the Logo position.

Tristan Thompson cursed again at the high screen position.

Seeing that JR-Smith failed to raise the screen in time and was completely thrown away by Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, Tristan Thompson rushed forward immediately with a big delay.

Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, went in and out slightly while walking, his body shook slightly, he paused slightly, and then quickly changed direction under his crotch.

Tristan Thompson rushed to Li Ze's right hand and kept sliding to the three-point line.

Noticing that the opponent hadn't lost his defensive position, Li Ze, who had just crossed the three-point line, blasted the ball vigorously with his right hand, and then retreated horizontally.

The huge range of motion allowed Li Ze to gain a body space. Facing Tristan Thompson's defense, he made a strong shot from outside the three-point line!
"squeak!"

The ball flew out, and the jumping Tristan Thompson failed to control the center of gravity of his body, and finally hit Li Ze's right arm.

After landing, the fans' exclamations came from the ears, Tristan Thompson let out a sigh of relief, he really tried his best.
"Unbelievable, facing such a defense, Kayce can still make the ball! Incredible shooting touch!"

The commentator Mike Brin was stunned. The Clippers broke double-teams in a fancy way. In these few rounds, they showed pick-and-roll coordination. No matter how fierce the Cavaliers' offense was, the defensive end could not limit the Clippers' scoring.

LeBron James pulled his face, and the enthusiasm at the beginning slowly dissipated. Faced with this unreasonable three-pointer, no one can stand it.
Standing on the free throw line, Li Zejia made a steady free throw, and the Quicken Loans Center Arena was booed again.

At 26:19, Li Ze succeeded in scoring 4 points, and the point difference reached 7 points in an instant. Tyronn Lu on the sidelines couldn't hold back anymore. Why is the point difference getting bigger and bigger?
The excellent offensive state allowed the Cavaliers to keep scoring, but the atmosphere in the arena gradually cooled down, and the point difference did not narrow.

At the end of the first quarter, there was a lot of noise in the arena, and LeBron James pursed his lips and walked to the bench quickly with a serious expression.

At 39:32, the Cavaliers showed an excellent offensive state, and the result was still 7 points behind.
"It was a wonderful game. LeBron James showed his determination to win, 8 of 7, 3 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 16 points efficiently!"

Mark Jackson sighed slightly, he could see that the Cavaliers had tried their best.

Jeff Van Gundy felt desperate for the Cavaliers, and said in a helpless tone:

"Despite facing a lot of double-teams, Kayce was in a better state, 8 of 8, 4 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 21 points in a single quarter!"

The commentator Mike Breen could also feel that the Cavaliers fans seemed a little panicked, and the noise became louder and louder, and finally added helplessly:

"As long as LeBron James continues in this state, I believe the Cavaliers will be able to defend the home court!"

Li Zehan, who was on the bench, didn't show up. He sat on his seat and sipped water. Everyone in the atmosphere group looked dumbfounded. Is this still human?

Sensing everyone's gaze, Li Ze said calmly:

"There is no forced attack, most of them are conversion points. In such an intense game, I can consume at least two overtimes!"
