   Stan Van Gundy also praised the Cavaliers' performance after the game.

"They have a great head coach and many very good players. We actually have a chance in this game, but they always make the right decision at the critical moment. We need to sum up this game well and strive for the next The field can pull the score back."

   On the second day of the Cavaliers and Heat game, the Suns and Spurs also had the first game of the Western Conference semifinals.

   After a fierce battle, the Suns lost 114-121 to the Spurs and overturned at home.

   The Suns still held the lead at the end of the first three quarters, but the Spurs scored 43 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter and were completely beaten.

   Regular season MVP Steve Nash contributed 29 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists. Stoudemire scored 41 points and 9 rebounds. Jim Jackson also scored 20 points and 8 rebounds.

He was considered the Spurs' number one contributor to the defeat in the fourth quarter. He scored in the fourth quarter. He scored 4 three-pointers to win the Spurs' reversal.

  ......

   Two days later, the Cavaliers played another game with the Heat.

   In the second game, the Heat played more targeted.

   The opening is still based on O'Neal's inside line as the main offensive point, the outside line resolutely uses Eddie Jones as the fort, and Wade frequently enters and exits as a series of players inside and outside.

   In this way, the Heat established an offensive axis of "O'Neill Wade-Jones", and the entire offense was much more orderly than in the first quarter.

   O'Neal also managed to transfer the ball as quickly as possible when encountering a double team to prevent the ball from being intercepted by the Cavaliers.

   In this case, the Heat turned away in the first half, leading the Cavaliers by 8 points 50-42.

   In the second half, the Cavaliers suddenly offered their long-lost shark-slashing tactics.

   O'Neal made 8 consecutive free throws and only hit 2 goals.

During this period of time, the Heat’s game rhythm was disrupted, and the Cavaliers took the opportunity to have Miller, James, and Shentong hit three consecutive three-pointers, plus Wagner’s breakthrough layup, and a wave of 11-2. climax.

   The Heat had no choice but to temporarily replace O'Neal, who was out of balance.

   Mourning's prestige is still there, but it is indeed inadequate.

   The deterrence of the Heat dropped sharply inside.

   Big Z and Gooden began to gain an advantage in the interior, and Shentong and James' breakthroughs were also more efficient than the first half.

   When the Heat re-appointed O'Neal, the Cavaliers had gone from being behind by 8 points to leading by 10 points.

   In the fourth quarter, with Miller's precise three-pointers and Shentong's post-up singles, the Cavaliers always kept the score difference at 8-10 points.

   The desperate Heat adopted the tactic of leading the entire court. Wagner was double-teamed by the Heat's Damon Jones and Wade before halftime.

   The Heat's sudden change in tactics caused them to play a 6-0 climax, and the difference was approaching.

   Paul Silas sent Snow and allowed Shentong and James to take part of the dribble, which smoothly broke the Heat's full-court press.

   As Shen Tong broke through behind the basket, James made a jump shot and the Cavaliers sealed the victory.

   104-94, the Cavaliers lead 2-0 and won two consecutive home games!

   In the first two games, from the scene, the book strength difference between the Cavaliers and the Heat is not big, but the handling of the key ball and the transfer of the ball, the Cavaliers have a certain advantage.

  This is certainly due to the role of Shentong and James.

After the game, Van Gundy said to reporters: "Thank God, we can finally return to Miami to play. I hope that in the next games, we can play one by one, win the home game, and then take 2-2. The score is back here."

With 29 points and 16 rebounds, O'Neal, who made 4 of 13 free throws, expressed his opinion, saying: "I want to practice free throws when I want to go back, and train my shooting feel. In fact, during training, I made free throws. The rate has always been above 50%, and sometimes it can reach 70%. Today’s free throws are a bit abnormal, but when we return to Miami, we will return everything we endured here intact."

   Wade had a serious face after the game, which was almost overwhelmed by the application on the field. He simply said "Let's see you in Miami" and boarded the bus without looking back.

  ......

   The third battle can be described as a thunder and fire!

   The Heat also have a group of very enthusiastic fans.

   In the strong cheers at home, the Heat played the most exciting first half of this year's playoffs.

   O'Neal and Wade even completed each other's empty dunk!

   The Heat established a 15-point lead in the first half and ended the first half 63-48.

   The second half started with Shentong’s two consecutive shots.

   However, the pit dug by the Cavaliers in the first half was too deep. Even if they found their hand in the second half, they were unable to lead the score.

   103-113, they lost to the outstanding Heat in their first game away.

   O'Neal contributed 33 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in this game.

   Wade also scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

   Although Shentong scored 30 points in this game, other players lacked support.

   Second master James only had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Wagner had 12 points.

  ......

   In the fourth battle, both sides used their strength to feed themselves.

   Shentong broke out completely in this game, and 18 martial arts were used one by one.

   In the first quarter, Shentong mainly broke through the ball to tear the Heat's defense line, and at the same time helped his teammates find the feel.

   Every time I saw Shentong rush in, O'Neal always waited with great enthusiasm, but failed again and again, but his defense was torn apart by Shentong's sudden points.

   In the second quarter, Shentong strengthened his personal offense.

   After a breakthrough, Shen Tong easily completed the layup in front of O'Neal.

   "Hey, buddy, what are you doing? Don't you put pressure on this ball? Just watch him get on?" Wade couldn't help complaining to Big Brother.

   O'Neal spread out his hands and said helplessly: "I think he has been breaking through and making points, who knew he would score by himself."

   "Concentrate your attention, don't take it for granted!"

   O'Neal did not answer, hands on hips, his eyes showed dissatisfaction with Wade.

   Even if it’s my own problem, it’s not your turn to teach me.

   What's more, you haven't reached the level of Kobe!

   In the third quarter, the Heat resolutely double-teamed Shentong, who had a good feel.

   But Shentong’s basket is too accurate.

   can use the teammate's screen to find the gap and jump shot directly; retreat can hold the ball on the bottom line, and when the teammate opens the space, he backs Wade.

   The suspense has been lost before the game is over.

   Shentong scored 45 points in this game.

   111-95, the Cavaliers achieved a valuable away victory.

   It was from this game that a word between Shentong and Wade began to spread.

   "Eat and sleep abuse Wade" has become the standard for Shentong in this round of the series.

   With a score of 3-1, the Cavaliers returned to the home court.

  Because the other side's big score in the conference finals is also 3-1, and the teams holding the match points are all at home, the focus of the world is on who can knock out opponents 4-1 at home and advance to the finals.

   In the much-anticipated game, Shentong showed the style of the scoring champion.

   made 20 of 30 shots, including 6 of 9 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 55 points.

   With high scores and such efficient scoring efficiency, the Heat have no players that can compete with them.

  102-90, the Cavaliers ended the series with a 4-1 at home, won the Eastern Conference championship, and entered the NBA Finals for the first time in history!

   When the referee blew the final whistle, the court suddenly became a sea of ​​joy.

   People are celebrating the hard-won championship.

  Although it is only an Eastern Conference championship, it is also an honor never seen in the history of the Cavaliers.

   Only one step away from the championship, the fans of the global Cavaliers sleepless night.

   All major website forums are full of news and topics about the Cavaliers defeating the Heat, winning the Eastern Conference championship and entering the finals.

  Once the game ended, O'Neal, Wade, Jones and others returned directly to the locker room and refused any media interviews.

Stan Van Gundy said helplessly at the press conference after the game: “We thought that Shentong’s 45-point performance in the last game would no longer be possible, but we didn’t expect that it was just a warm-up for Shen. We have a lesson."

   After Van Gundy praised Shentong, he did not forget to cheer for his team.

   "This is only the first season we have run in. There are many aspects that need to be improved. I believe that with this season's playoff experience, we will achieve better results next year."

   Paul Silas, who is also the team's coach, does not hesitate to love his disciples.

"Shentong is the kind of star who will feel that God is looking after you if you meet one in your coaching career. His performance no longer needs me to explain and explain more. I want to say, Shentong's performance tonight It’s awesome, you can’t ask him more. In addition, LeBron, Dajuan and others played very well. We defeated strong opponents and won the Eastern Conference championship, but this is not the time for us to relax. , A greater challenge awaits us."

   "We are only one step away from the championship."

  ......

   The Suns in the first half of the season were severely repaired by the Spurs 4-1.

   The Spurs proved with victory that in the playoffs, teams with better defenses will be able to win.

   At the same time, they can also play fast.

   In the 5 games of both sides, the teams scored more than 100 points, which proved that the pace of the game is fast, but the Spurs can easily hold it.

  In the first round of the spear and shield contest, the Suns overtook the Grizzlies.

   But in the second round, the Suns failed to break the shield in front of the Spurs like a dragon shield and lost to the fist of Lushan Bailongba.

   Although they lost, the Suns were not discouraged.

This is just their first season together. They have jumped from the bottom of the Western Conference to No. 1 in the league, so they believe that after the offseason run-in and the experience of this season's playoffs, the Suns next season will It will be even more terrifying.

   The daze who won the Western Conference title still didn't show a happy smile.

   When facing the reporter's interview, he said blankly: "We are only one step away from the championship."

  ......

   There are 3 days before the first game of the finals.

   A reporter from China Sports Daily was able to enter the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers for an exclusive interview.

   The strength of the Chinese consortium is beyond your imagination.

   As soon as reporter Wang Jia entered Gund Arena, he met the team's head coach Paul Silas.

   "Hi, Paul, hello."

"Hello there."

"Paul, your team will be playing against the Spurs soon. I know that you have reached the finals for the first time, and your opponents are rich teams with championship experience. Are your players before the game? Will be a little nervous?"

Silas nodded and replied: "Indeed, many players frowned when they heard that our opponent was the Spurs, but to be honest, I was more nervous than them. You know, this champion is for Cleveland. In terms of what it means, we have too many expectations. But..."

   Silas changed the conversation and sold off.

   "But what?" Wang Jia couldn't help asking.

"However, my boys quickly overcome their psychological barriers. I am very satisfied with their recent performance in training. I believe in them and in myself. Although there are still a few days before the game, I think we have done a good job. Ready."

   "There are so many fans in China who like you."

   "Thank you." Silas made a gesture of putting his hands together.

   "I hear you say that you are confident now, I believe the fans should be relieved. By the way..."

  Wang Jia looked around and said, "Paul, is your training finished? Why is there no one on the court?"

   Silas smiled and said: "Yes, our morning training is over. They just returned to the locker room, I'm afraid they are resting right now."

   "Can you take us to the locker room?"

"of course."

   Silas led the way, and Wang Jia waved to the photographer, and the two hurriedly followed.

  ......

   Push the door to enter.

  Wang Jia and the photographer were dumbfounded at the same time.

   "Toad."

"bump."

   "Glasses."

   "Don't."

  ......

  Shentong, James, Wagner, and Varejao, the four are actually playing mahjong, the quintessence of China!

   was surrounded by a circle of people, including Big Z, Miller, Snow and others, all watching with gusto.

   "Are they playing mahjong?"

   Silas said: "Yes, this is a way for them to relax recently."

  "..."

  Wang Jia couldn't believe it.

  ......

   Just then, Shentong’s cell phone rang.

   picked up the phone, Shen Tong pressed the hands-free button and said, "Hey, who is it?"

   "Your elder sister, why, are you busy now?"

   "No~www.ltnovel.com~ Let's talk about it."

   "Isn't Lao Shen planning to quit smoking? I thought about buying him an e-cigarette instead of cigarettes. What do you think?"

   When Shentong was connected to the hands-free, everyone swallowed while playing cards and did not dare to make any noise.

   is the boss of the team after all.

   "Very good, buy a better brand for Lao Shen, I heard from Sister Hua that Lao Shen has been suffering recently."

   "Well, I'm optimistic about it. It's about 400 dollars. Let me AA with you. Then we will say that it was given to him by the two of us. He must be happy and it will be more exciting to stop smoking."

   "Okay, no problem, I will call you later, 60,000!"

   Shentong pressed down the phone.

   On the other side of the phone, Shen Qing blinked, but did not recover for a long time.

   My god, my brother is so handsome, he wants to transfer so much to me...

   After the meeting, Shen Qing called again.

   "Brother, I only received 200."

   "That's right, 400 is half and half, isn't it 200? Wait, Ma Jiezi, touch!"

   "Smelly man!!!"

  ......

   Shen Tong hung up the phone, smiled and said to Wang Jia and the cameraman: "This paragraph is pinched, don't broadcast it."
