NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

After the timeout, the Cavaliers did not gamble on a three-pointer or try to take the lead in one possession. Instead, they played steadily and the whole team ran their plays. Finally, Wade used a screen to successfully drive to the basket and challenge Yao Ming.

Outside the three-second zone, Wade once again used his signature elusive footwork, but this time Yao Ming completely guessed his direction.

"Snapped!"

With a slap, Wade's layup was sent flying by Yao Ming, and Gasol grabbed the rebound. Gasol immediately raised his arm high and jumped towards the basket as soon as he got the ball.

This time, Yao Ming didn't have time to jump again, but he chose a good spot, stood up straight, and raised his arms high.

With his terrifying height of 226 centimeters, Yao Ming was a huge barrier even without jumping. Pau Gasol happened to be the type with average physical attributes, and Yao Ming's unwavering defensive stance made him quite uncomfortable.

"Boom!"

After a muffled thud, Gasol missed the layup that was so close, and the ball bounced off the rim again.

This time, the Bobcats didn't lose any rebounds. Fields, who had been substituted in by Lin Tian during the timeout specifically to steal rebounds, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the basketball, and then sprinted towards the empty corner.

As he reached the corner and the Cavaliers players were about to surround him, he suddenly jumped up again, and unexpectedly, instead of throwing the ball forward, he threw it back to the basket, right in the direction of Yao Ming!
Out of caution, Yao Ming did not follow his teammates on a fast break, but continued to guard the basket, and just then he received a pass from Fields.

Fields' two moves once again demonstrated his basketball IQ and quick wit.

The Cavaliers players now either need to press Fields or quickly get back on defense to guard against the Bobcats' fast breaks.

There was no one around Yao Ming!
Aside from team owners or business leaders, what kind of good person would stand still under the opponent's basket when defending?
Yao Ming took the basketball, looked around, and started dribbling. He dribbled the basketball and ran towards the other corner!

Just like here, there are no Cavaliers players there!

Yao Ming's clumsy and slow dribbling actually appeared at a crucial moment in such a critical game, which shows how clever Fields was.

However, Yao Ming knew when to stop. After dribbling three times to the baseline, he immediately gathered the ball, raised it high, waited a moment, and then passed it out again!

This time, his pass was aimed at Rose, who had just sprinted back to the three-point line to receive the pass. There were still no Cavaliers players around Rose!

The Cavaliers' defense has completely fallen apart!

The players were running around like ants on a hot plate.

The worst defensive move on the basketball court is chasing the ball without looking at the player, and the Cavaliers made this incredibly basic and huge mistake.

They were completely outmaneuvered by the Bobcats.

After receiving the ball, Rose didn't pass it again. Instead, he lowered his head and accelerated diagonally, rushing towards the center circle on the other side.

There was no way around it; Fields and Yao Ming's time-running tactics were too successful. If he didn't go over there soon, he would commit an 8-second violation.

By the time the Cavaliers finally caught up with Rose and committed a foul, the Bobcats only had 12 seconds left on their 24-second shot clock!

By dribbling and passing, the Bobcats managed to prevent the Cavaliers from even having a chance to foul, thus keeping them unable to catch the offensive players and running down the clock for a full 12 seconds. This time-running strategy by the Bobcats was absolutely a huge success!
The biggest contributor to all of this is, of course, Fields, who initially stirred up the storm and threw the Cavaliers' defense into disarray!

This guy has once again demonstrated his intelligence.

When Rose stepped to the free-throw line, there were only 10 seconds left in the game!

They've wasted a lot of time, and if Rose makes both free throws this time, it will be almost impossible for the Cavaliers to turn the game around!

"Shh! Shh!"

As for Rose, he dared to volunteer to go up for the free throws, so of course he wouldn't make the mistake of missing the free throws and giving the opponent an opportunity. He calmly made both free throws, extending the point difference to 4 points!
As long as the Bobcats don't make a stupid mistake and give away a 3+1, the Cavaliers can forget about a comeback.

In desperation, Brown called a final timeout. In those last 10 seconds, he had shouted himself hoarse, but to no avail. The players were running around like headless flies, unable to catch the Bobcats' ball handler.

There's really nothing much to arrange during this pause.

He picked up Gasol, the best rebounder on the team, along with the four best shooters. At that point, he had no choice but to gamble on three-pointers.

Soon, the timeout ended, and the Cavaliers inbounded the ball from midcourt.

Gasol stood in the center circle, holding the ball high, looking for opportunities for his teammates.

Then he discovered something that made him quite upset.

No one was paying attention to Wade or interfering with his inbounds pass, while Anthony and Damon Jones, the team's two most accurate shooters, were both double-teamed by the Bobcats.

This tactic is fucking extreme.

Wade even ran to the basket and could have dunked right there, but nobody paid any attention to him.

Left with no other option, Gasol knew he had no choice and that two points wouldn't be enough, so he could only pass the ball to West when he ran out of the three-point line.

But unexpectedly, this usually carefree and confident guy didn't dare to shoot when faced with DeRozan's one-on-one defense. Instead, he turned around and passed the ball to Anthony, who was double-teamed by Odom and Williams.

After receiving the ball, Anthony almost cursed out loud. "Damn it, I've been forced to a position 2 meters outside the three-point line and I'm being double-teamed. Why did you give me the ball?"

Despite the criticism, Anthony didn't pass the ball around to shift the blame again. Instead, he pulled up with all his might and threw the ball towards the basket.

Success or failure hinges on this one throw.

"Boom!"

However, it is obvious that it is extremely difficult to hit the target when shooting from such an absurdly long distance.

The rebound bounced off the rim, and Wade, who was ignored, grabbed it but didn't shoot.

In the previous situation, 2 points wouldn't have been enough, let alone now that so much time has been wasted.
He could only dribble to the three-point line, then volley and shoot, forcing the ball out.

"Oh!"

This shot, even more outrageous than Anthony's, was naturally even more outrageous. It didn't even touch the rim; it bounced off the backboard.

"Buzz!"

There was no need to fight for the rebound this time.

Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and the time came to an end.

The game is over!

The Bobcats secured the victory thanks to Yao Ming's clutch offensive and defensive plays in the final moments, Fields' cleverness, Rose's steady free throws, and of course, Lin Tian's ingenious, all-or-nothing tactics. They successfully defended their home court once again!

3: 3!

The series has gone to a Game 7 again. After the first six games, both sides protected their three home games, resulting in a tie. Now, the two sides are about to enter an extremely brutal and do-or-die Game 7!
"The Bobcats have the advantage!" Miller said directly during the post-game debriefing after Game 6: "They're not afraid of a Game 7; they won their last game in a Game 7 on the road!"

"They certainly have a good chance in this round!"

"But the Cavaliers have the highest home winning percentage this season! They're undefeated at home in the playoffs so far, and they only lost 3 home games in the regular season. Their Quicken Loans Arena is one of the most terrifying home arenas this season, and even in league history!"

Jackson picked up where Miller left off, saying, "Even in this series, the Bobcats haven't been able to breach Quicken Loans Arena even once."

“Isn’t that obvious?” Miller rolled his eyes. “If we had breached Quicken Loans’ center just once, the Bobcats would be advancing 4-2 now.”

"In short, I will continue to favor the Bobcats in Game 7. I believe they can overcome adversity and advance to the next round in a comeback."

……

Whether the two commentators genuinely disagreed or simply wanted to maintain the rule that there would always be debates in the commentary booth, their views were completely different.

Although they expressed completely different views, at this time, the Cavaliers and Bobcats players said almost exactly the same thing in their interviews.

"We've got this in the bag! After the next game, we'll be in the finals!"

"I don't care if it's a home game or an away game. Even if the next game is held on Mars, my guys and I will still win and advance to the finals!" "The game has come to this stage. Even if we're down 0-3 now, let alone 3-3, I will still give it my all and fight for a spot in the finals!"

"Nobody likes to lose, and nobody likes to lose at this stage!"

“I don’t care what changes they make, or how they defend against or target me. All I know is: bring it on, we will win!”

Whether it's at a press conference later, or at a hotel, airport, outside the training ground, outside the stadium, or anywhere else.

In short, after Game 6 and before Game 7 of the series, no matter where or who the reporters caught, as long as the reporters' questions were related to the outcome of Game 7, the players and coaches would give absolutely firm and confident answers without hesitation.

We can win! We can make it to the finals!
At the very least, before the match even started, both sides were already at their most intense and confident, just waiting for the final match to begin to see who would emerge victorious!
"This game is destined to be tough. We are facing a formidable home court that has maintained a perfect record in the playoffs so far. We are facing a super home court with the No.1 home winning percentage this season, and it even ranks among the top in the entire history of the league!"

"Including the regular season, we've lost five games in a row here. We've been constantly dominated by the Cavaliers, and we've had no chance to fight back."

"But do you know what the good news is?"

An hour before the start of Game 1, Lin Tian continued to give his players a lesson in the Bobcats' visiting locker room.

"The good news is that they've hit their limit, they can't get any better! We were already facing a Cavaliers team that gave it their all and did everything they could to achieve the best they could."

"But we're not there yet. We haven't reached our best yet. We can do even better!"

Do you think you can do better?

"can!"

"Just like I thought, I will always believe that I can do better, that I can overcome everything and defeat everything."

"So tonight, here, let's end their record! I don't care if they have a 10-game home winning streak or a 20-game home winning streak, I don't care if their home winning percentage this season is 90% or 98%."

"Tonight, their records will all come to an end!"

"Tonight, all their records will come to an abrupt end!"

Do you know why this is?

"Because we want to win!"

"We must win! We must win!"

Lin Tian's rousing and passionate speech filled the players with excitement and fervor. They were mentally and physically ready to launch an attack at any moment!

“Now, Carlos!” Lin Tian pointed to Boozer’s name, looking at him and said, “Tonight, we’ll start with you!”

"Run pick-and-rolls with Derrick, play the basketball you do best, and attack in the way you're most comfortable and at ease!"

"After the pick-and-roll, I don't care if you cut inside or bounce out, just communicate well with Derrick, and he'll feed you the ball, he'll keep feeding you the ball!"

"Then, I trust your decisions. Shoot if you want, drive if you want!"

"Because they will never double-team you. They think you're trash, a high-paid but incompetent rookie, a nobody who doesn't deserve his salary. They think that as long as they can defend against Derrick and Yao, they can win the game!"

"Tonight, you have to show them just how wrong they are, and you have to show them how big the gap is between them and you!"

"Go and cripple your opponents, and tell them: you don't have to double-team me, but if you ignore me or underestimate me, then I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

"How about it? Are you confident you can crush Big Z in the opening stages! Let them know how powerful you are, and make all their plans useless?"

"Tonight, we don't need to care how they play, because that's not important. No matter what they do, they're destined to fail and be eliminated tonight!"

"Everyone, 1, 2, 3!"

"we are the champion!"

Once again, the team chanted their slogan. Apart from the team's increased determination, confidence, and ferocity, tonight's game was not significantly different from previous games for the Bobcats.

Their experience of winning consecutive Game 7s and climbing out of adversity and even desperate situations to achieve a comeback makes them all truly battle-hardened warriors.

Each of them believed they could stand until the end.

Experience? Too young to make the playoffs for the first time? The team's key players have never achieved anything significant in the playoffs?
The Bobcats' experience this year—consecutive Game 3s, consecutive comebacks from large deficits, consecutive battles against 60-win teams to the final moments, and consecutive challenges against the league's top teams—is far more valuable than an average team's three years of playoff playoff experience!
It's not about having a lot of experience, but about having a refined one!
"Trash! Go back to Charlotte!"

"Unless you both play, you have no chance of winning!"

"You're just a bunch of losers and rookies making up a trash team. You think you can make it to the finals? Come back in five years!"

"Not even in the next life!"

"Cleveland will never fall!"

"No one can breach the walls of Cleveland!"

"Trash should stay in the trash heap!"

"Device is the best in the league! Rose isn't even as good as my dog!"

"Maybe you'll have a chance to win the championship in 10 years, but this year is Cleveland's first year!"

The boos from the Cleveland fans began the moment the Bobcats stepped onto the court, sweeping in from all directions.

The fans roared and cursed almost frantically, trying to destroy the Bobcats players' confidence and rhythm before the game even started.

The league's newly crowned number one intimidating home court truly lives up to its reputation!
"Not so great." Head coach Lin Tian, ​​standing at the front of the team, didn't go back to the bench as usual, but remained in the middle of the field, arrogantly picking his ear with his little finger: "This is it? A devilish home field?"

Lin Tian did not speak, nor did he make any particularly provocative moves or actions.

But when the big screen showed him, all 18973 fans in the stadium clearly saw the disdain and arrogance on his face.

In this world, there are some people who are called 'face tanks', meaning they don't need to do anything, and they don't need to use any taunting skills to draw aggro.

As soon as an opponent sees his face and his expression, their hatred level will automatically reach its maximum, and they will then unleash all their weapons on him.

Lin Tian is clearly the king of face masks.

The entire city of Cleveland instantly recalled how Lin Tian and his team had repeatedly eliminated them in the past, how Lin Tian had seduced Webber, their former hope for revival, and then led his team to create a dynasty, and all the things Lin Tian had done to them.

The boos grew louder, the insults grew dirtier, and Lin Tian's expression became even more comfortable.

That's what it feels like!

This is getting interesting.

Just then, a basketball rolled into Lin Tian's hands near the center of the court.

Lin Tian wasn't sure who passed the ball, but after he got the basketball, he casually tossed it toward the basket.

His target, of course, was the half of the court where the Cavaliers were warming up.

"Shh!"

Then, under the watchful eyes of all the fans in the stadium, Lin Tian's incredible three-pointer from midfield went into the net.

The quick loan center fell silent.

Although this three-pointer had nothing to do with the game, and although these three points could not be counted in the game.

But the scene remained quiet.

Lin Tian's oppressive power is terrifying!
"Coach, one more!" (End of Chapter)
