In the highlight battle between the Cavaliers and Celtics on May 18, James did not wear his magic weapon, and both teams fought with real swords and guns.
No one thought this would be the result.
Not to mention the fans, experts and viewers, even the people behind James's background never thought that this would be the result.
What about the promise that there will only be one king in Cleveland?
As promised, I am fifty times stronger than before?
Do you really think that the power in our hands and the referees are infinite consumables?
Prepare for the Finals, prepare for defeating the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, and now you also need to prepare for the Eastern Conference Finals?
Damn it, where did they find so many consumables?
Do you really think that Adam Silver is now in charge of the NBA? Can you open unlimited blacks?
The Celtics are very strong this season. The head coach is Fantastic Monty, and the team also has a bunch of top players such as James, Randolph, Paul, Gay and Big Eyebrow.
Given the thickness of the Celtics' lineup and the strength of their coaching staff, they truly believe that this Celtics team is at least invincible in the Eastern Conference.
James is in the East, so they don't need to worry.
And James' confidence really makes them feel that the Eastern Conference is very stable.
Unexpectedly, this time, the Celtics were hit in the head!
The Celtics also lost the first game in the previous two series. It can be said that the Celtics got off to a bad start in this year's playoffs.
However, any fool can see that the first two rounds were a failure. The Celtics and James just didn't work hard. Whether they were observing their opponents or teasing their opponents, it didn't make people feel like they were losing. The ball will have any impact on the Celtics.
But this time, it’s really different!
Didn't you see that after the game, James knelt down so damn much?
The last time James knelt on the ground so directly was last season, when James was beaten to the point of kneeling by McAway.
Therefore, after G1 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Celtics and Cavaliers, the odds have not changed much, but the whole of Boston already feels a bit like mourning a heir.
The forces behind James are already gathering frantically for meetings.
No joke, in this game, it seems that James really can't beat Oden!
Oden is too tall, too fast, too good at jumping, and his defensive and offensive skills are impeccable. The key is that his strength is not bad. He is simply a widened version of Duncan and Olajuwon who can three-pointers. This time, Oden Deng, it really makes people see the taste of the combination of Duncan and Olajuwon!
They need to step in!
Without intervention, there is a high probability that James will not even be able to break out of the Eastern Conference this season!
However, if they intervene, will the Lakers still intervene?
If the Lakers don't intervene, what if the Lakers come out?
In the finals, facing Coach D again?
Damn it, Coach D has defeated God twice in the finals, are you really sure there won’t be a third time?
Headache, confusion.
A game that made so many people behind the scenes who care about and support James so entangled.
can only say……
"I got Fuck! MD, Coach D, and the fucking Coach D, even if they are in the West, even if they have already left the court, they all fucking laid such a big thunder for us!!!"
At this time, these people did not know how much they cared about Coach D, and each one of them was greeting Coach D frantically.
After expressing their anger like incompetence, some people immediately calmed down.
"Over in the West, let's not move and let's see how the Lakers and Warriors play. Maybe, if we don't do anything, the Warriors can beat the Lakers and keep the Lakers out of the Finals! "
"If we don't intervene in the Western Conference Finals in time, I mean, if, if the Warriors show strength beyond the specifications, should we intervene?"
You know, the Warriors have always been the Celtics' biggest opponent this season.
Moreover, the Warriors are truly a team with the Super Six!
The Warriors are also a team that has the ability to defeat God!
"Don't get involved first, let's see what the situation is like between these two teams!"
Finally, the person in charge gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Their current strength is limited, and they can only wait and see the dog-eat-dog situation between the Lakers and Warriors.
If you don't take Coach D's factor into account, in fact, letting the Lakers into the Finals is definitely more cost-effective than letting the Warriors in.
But, with a great figure like Coach D there, how could he not consider it!
After making the decision, the person in charge asked the assistant next to him.
"Coach D, is it true that you won't be back this season?"
"Coach D has never broken his promise, that's for sure, but..."
"but?"
"If Popovich wants to invite Coach D back, Coach D will definitely come back. However, if the Lakers reach the finals, how can Popovich give the opportunity back to Coach D? Even if he dies, Popovich Vicky won’t be willing to give up the opportunity, right?”
The person in charge nodded.
This is human nature.
All famous coaches in the NBA like to gamble. Until the last moment, they never believed that they would definitely lose. They always felt that they could still make a comeback. Even if they were behind 0-3, Coach D didn't give up, didn't he?
Popovich, too.
If Coach D doesn't cheat or break his promise, if he doesn't come back this season...
"Looking at it this way, we are not that passive."
Because James is useless here, they can make some adjustments and distribution of some strength depending on the situation, without necessarily requiring a specific result.
On May 18, the result of the game between the Cavaliers and Celtics shocked a lot of people.
Therefore, on May 19, everyone turned their attention to the first game of the Western Conference Finals.
Lakers home game against Warriors.
"Shaq, do you think this game will be a big upset?"
"Hahahaha, Kenny, do you think the Lakers can defeat the Warriors? Even if I am a Lakers legend, I dare not make such an imagination. In this game, the Lakers have no chance, even if the Lakers are in this game this season The first time in the playoffs that all the main players came on the field, there was no chance, the Warriors are too strong!"
The Warriors' starters in this game are Yi Jianlian, Love, Dream Green, Klay Thompson and Curry.
Sitting below is Iguodala, an All-Star player.
The Lakers also played with all their main players.
Garnett, Antetokounmpo, Pierce, Wade, Seth Curry.
Barkley, who also returned, also sat on the bench.
There are many highlights in this game, including the apostle battle between Popovich and Cole, the grudge battle between Yi Jianlian and Garnett, and of course the brotherly battle between the Curry brothers. Who is the only Curry in the NBA.
Precisely because there are so many things to watch, the attention of this game is even higher than that of G1 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The warm-up of the two teams before the game was full of highlights.
The Curry brothers actually scored three points in the center circle before the game started!
brush!
brush!
brush!
brush!
"OMG! Unbelievable Brother Curry!!!"
"Dell Curry must have saved the galaxy in his last life. He is not the greatest player in NBA history, but he will be the greatest father in NBA history! Tonight, he will be the happiest and most troubled person in the world!"
Watching the two sons on the court hit a three-pointer in the center circle before the game even started. Old Curry on the sidelines was indeed quite happy and quite troubled.
Both sons are out of the basket, how happy this is!
However, the two are rivals, and one of them is destined to be the loser and loser in this highly publicized battle.
No matter who it is, he can't bear it.
Just when the Curry brothers were a little superior, they were trying to make a three-pointer in the circle.
On the sidelines, the two masters and apprentices, Cole and Popovich, were smiling and hugging each other.
Well, the smiles on their faces were a bit superficial.
"Pop, I really didn't expect to become a rival with you in this way. I thought you would always stay in the Spurs."
Popovich raised his eyebrows.
This kid is messing with his mentality!
However, who is Popovich? Besides Coach D, who has he been successfully fooled by?
Is a mere Cole worthy of being evenly matched with him here?
"Steve, this time, maybe I will teach you the last lesson, watch carefully and study hard."
Popovich patted Cole on the shoulder, smiled and turned away.
What about the last lesson...
Looking at Popovich's back, Cole's face showed a smile and his eyes narrowed.
Bobo, maybe I don’t need this last lesson anymore...
Cole also smiled and turned around and returned to the bench. Zaza Pachulia, who was originally sitting on the bench, quickly stood up and gave up his position to others, allowing Cole to sit in the middle.
Many Spurs coaches in front of the TV were frightened when watching the meeting between Cole and Popovich.
"Kole, this kid is really good. He really thinks he is independent!"
"Now I feel that Jordan's slap was too gentle. This kid is born to be rebellious!"
"Bobo, give this kid a good beating in this game!"
Considering Pop's current reputation with the Spurs and the Holy City, the Spurs still support him so much. It shows that there is no Spurs-style NBA. In fact, it is all Pop.
Amid the roar of Lakers fans in the audience, G1 of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Warriors officially started.
Yi Jianlian and Antetokounmpo jump ball.
Antetokounmpo successfully grabbed the first wave of the ball for the Lakers.
Seth Curry received Garnett's return without any hesitation. After passing the half court, Stephen Curry came up to him. Seth Curry actually shot directly in front of Stephen Curry! ! !
Seth Curry's unexpected three-pointer frightened Stephen Curry in front of him, as well as the Lakers fans and Lakers celebrities on the sidelines.
The commentators on the sidelines were stunned!
“This is not a pre-game shooting practice, this is not the regular season, this is not an ordinary playoffs, this is the Western Conference Finals, the winner will advance to the Finals!!!
Seth Curry actually voted like that! ! ! "
There was a clang!
The whole world was unusually quiet for a while!
And almost at the same time!
The big screen was always facing Coach D, and Coach D was standing in front of the audience on the sidelines. He was applauding, applauding with satisfaction!
Looking at the man on the big screen, Cole on the sidelines was silent.
Stephen Curry on the court was also silent.
Although he has a lot of authority in the Warriors, if he dared to throw like Seth, Cole would never applaud him. He would only shout from the sidelines, give the ball to Yi!
He can't be like Seth and do whatever he wants whenever he feels like it on the court.
Is this trust?
may be.
But, I really can’t envy you.
Because Seth’s head coach’s name is Coach D!
Seth Curry's three-pointer from the center circle opened the game.
Dream Green grabbed a backcourt rebound. Dream Green didn't give the Lakers any chance to line up, and rushed forward with the basketball.
Chasing dreams requires fast breaks.
The Warriors' fast break is indeed fast.
However, the Lakers can catch up.
Mainly due to Antetokounmpo's speed, the explosion obviously shocked Dream Green.
Dream Green originally wanted to find an opportunity to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian or other teammates during the fast break.
But Antetokounmpo kept guarding him, and in the end, he could only resist Antetokounmpo's defense and force a fast break layup.
Snap!
Dream Green's layup was nailed to the backboard by Antetokounmpo behind him.
Seeing this defense and blocking shots, all the Lakers fans at the scene took a breath.
"He defeated Yi with a jump ball and defended Green who blocked the fast break. Antetokounmpo was in great shape in this game!!!"
"Not only Antetokounmpo, but other Lakers players are also visibly excited!"
After Antetokounmpo grabbed a backcourt rebound, Pierce actually asked for the ball and took the opportunity to push for a fast break.
In fact, the Lakers are still not fast enough compared to the Warriors, and it is better to stabilize their rhythm.
However, Pierce, who was on the outside, felt that he could immediately increase his speed. After receiving Antetokounmpo's pass, he rushed up like the dream-chasing Green before.
Is there a problem with fast break options like Pierce?
Of course it's no problem.
Dream Green, the defensive hub of the Warriors, is still falling off the court!
On the court, five against four.
However, Pierce still underestimated the explosive power of the United Arab Emirates.
As a power forward with 88% explosive power, what does that feel like?
"Remember the honey duo of the Lakers back then?!"
"They are every fast breaker's nightmare!!!"
Howard and Yi Jianlian, these two former Lakers players blocked the sky in Los Angeles three years ago!
And today, three years later, Yi Jianlian once again flies over Los Angeles and once again blocks the sky of Los Angeles!
Yi Jianlian's big hands made Pierce's eyes in the air almost as wide as bells!
Flash, move, lean back!
Pierce almost broke his waist and still threw the basketball in his hand!
It must not be blocked!
This is the pride of a superstar!
but!
Bang!
Pierce's fast break also works!
Stephen Curry, who followed the chase, grabbed a backcourt rebound.
Just when Curry completed his turn and was once again ready to launch a fast break!
Stephen Curry, who had just turned around, felt that his eyes suddenly turned yellow!
"Seth! Curry!!!"
"Seth Curry completed the steal! Seth Curry successfully anticipated Curry's release and completed the steal!!!"
The game lasted a minute, and neither team scored a single point.
Now, after Seth Curry stole Stephen Curry, the Lakers fans at the scene could not hide their excitement and became excited!
Three points?
Will it be three points?
Seth Curry, who just threw three-pointers like that, how could he give up this time!
Seth Curry is retreating, Stephen Curry is chasing madly, and other Warriors players are also extending to block Seth Curry!
And almost at the same time!
Seth Curry jumped in the air and looked ready to shoot. He actually passed the ball! ! !
He faced Stephen Curry's defense with the basketball in his hand and slammed it into the basket!
Then!
A figure takes off under the basket!
Looking at the running figure, the Warriors fans in front of the TV were desperate. Clay, who was guarding him, had already been knocked down because he couldn't keep up!
Bang!
A huge dunk after the alley-oop!
Boom!
The dunk activated the enthusiasm of the whole world!
"Dwayne!!! Wei~~way~de!!!"
The Lakers DJ and Lakers fans at the scene were shouting!
Seth Curry, who completed the pass, looked at his shocked brother with a smile on his face.
"Stephen, I know you, I know you better than I know myself, and you have never really understood me."
"..."
Stephen Curry looked in shock at his younger brother who turned around and prepared to return to defense.
Never got to know your brother?
He has always been aloof, so it is difficult to say that he will truly understand Seth.
Not only him, maybe Dad also has a hard time saying he understands Seth.
If it weren't for Coach D, as Seth's closest relatives, none of them would have imagined that Seth could perform like this this season.
"so……"
Stephen Curry frowned and asked.
However, before Stephen Curry could finish asking, Seth Curry's voice came over.
"So, in this game, you, you, will all be miserable!"
Seeing the smile on Seth's face when he turned to look at him again, Curry felt not warmth, but a strong murderous aura! ! !
He, Stephen Curry, is now being threatened by his younger brother!
He, Stephen Curry, is actually a little flustered right now! ! !
