…
The Finals G2 ended, and the outside world looked down upon the Cavaliers.
The two teams, who thought they were close in strength, could actually come back in the second game no matter what, but in the end they lost two games in a row.
Regardless of whether it is due to the head coach's negligence or any other reason, since we are 0:2 behind, we have to accept all the criticism and accusations on the Internet, including the Cavaliers fans who hate iron.
Fortunately, he is still his own child. It’s okay to scold him, but it’s not okay to be scolded by others.
As a result, a large number of Cavaliers fans began to compete with Trail Blazers fans online, accidentally involving innocent people, which in turn led to more people joining the online scolding war.
Return from the Internet to reality.
After losing two games in a row, the G3 game of the finals will be held three days later.
These three days are an adjustment time for both teams, especially the Cavaliers who are back at home. These three days are particularly precious. They need to find the mistakes they made in the first two games and correct them quickly.
On the day after the second game, the Trail Blazers players arrived at the star hotel in Cleveland in advance to prepare for the third game.
Ohio.
In Akron, a mansion of about 2,800 square meters.
James is very angry now, yes, angry!
They and the Trail Blazers obviously had a back-and-forth game in the first game, but in the second game, they showed a one-sided trend. They didn't look like two teams at the same level at all.
Blame the stupid guy, why did the team hire him as head coach?
Somehow, the face of a 183-year-old little man suddenly appeared in James' mind. That guy was like a natural speaker and could always arouse the passion of every Cavaliers player.
In this first game, the guy also proposed a sixth-man plan for Cousins to play. Although they lost in the end, it is undeniable that the new plan did achieve miraculous results.
There is no doubt that in James's mind at this moment, Tyronn Lue is the head coach he needs!
However, he also understands that it is unrealistic to call the Cavaliers head coach now and ask David Griffin to coach him faster.
Once this is done, the Cavaliers will really lose their morale!
Moreover, he does not want to leave an image to the outside world that he forced the head coach to leave.
call!
Taking a deep breath, his strong heart prompted James to regain his fighting spirit.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, James called on the entire coaching staff and all players to come to his home for a preparation meeting.
The team fell behind 0:2 and they had to face the worst situation.
…
The three-day offseason seems a bit long.
While fans are waiting for the finals, they are also watching various reports about the 2015 draft.
After the great year of the 2014 draft, many talented prospects also appeared in this year's draft.
According to the latest news, Karl-Anthony Towns and Jahlil Okafor are regarded as the favorites to be the No. 1 pick in this draft.
In addition, there is defender Dan Luogui Russell, known as "Serena Westbrook", who is also the most popular candidate for the top three picks.
But generally speaking, everyone's eyes are focused on Towns and Okafor. One is full of talent and talent; the other is extremely mature and capable but has certain injury risks.
Among them, what surprised many Trail Blazers fans was that one of the draft templates for Towns, who was 2.13 meters tall, turned out to be Wang Zelin.
To be honest, even Wang Zelin himself was quite surprised. He had thought that one day he would become a template for others, but he never thought that this day would come so soon.
It always feels a bit weird.
Of course, judging from the memory of future generations, Towns is indeed a talented big man on the offensive end. Putting aside his poor team leading ability, this guy's personal data reached 25+12 in only his second year as a rookie. He is not very talented. It can be said that it is not strong.
Before mid-May, Towns's draft price had been suppressed by Okafor, but as Towns conquered Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders, who held the No. 1 pick, in the trial.
It only took half a month for this little old man to go from being Okafor's most loyal fan to falling in love with Towns.
Today, Towns has become the only player after Irving named by the famous draft expert Chad Watson to dominate the first pick of the draft board in the same year.
In addition to the two, there is also a big white man who has attracted much attention.
emmm, literally big.
Kristaps Porzingis, a white Latvian insider who is 2.21 meters tall.
He, Okafor, and Towns are regarded as the three insiders with the highest future ceiling in this draft, and the draft prices are always ranked in the top five.
Compared to big men, guards are rarely popular in this draft. This is largely due to someone in the Trail Blazers single-handedly sparking the center craze again.
These topics were talked about by fans during the offseason.
…
Time flies, June 9th, the third game of the NBA Finals, the war reignited.
The Quicken Loans Center was packed with seats, surrounded by dense crowds of Cavaliers fans.
Although the team has lagged behind, Cavaliers fans are not panic at all. Even though the outside world believes that the Trail Blazers' championship probability is as high as 88%, they still choose to believe in the team after thinking about the three 0:2 comebacks in the finals in history.
The return of little emperor LeBron James has given this city a long-lost hope of winning the championship. Not to mention 0:2, even 3:0 is not enough to dampen their love for the Cavaliers!
So what if it’s a last-ditch battle?
After winning this game, winning another home court and then entering Tianwang Mountain, with united efforts, anything is possible.
Don't forget, they have James!
Cavaliers fans seemed a little crazy tonight.
The stadium was filled with all kinds of roars, and fans painted the Cavaliers' mark on their faces with colored pens.
When the visiting team played time, Wang Zelin and his teammates completely felt the craziness of the home fans the moment they stepped into the arena.
When the home team entered the stadium, the sound of roaring mountains and tsunami came, causing their eardrums to hurt slightly.
However, they had already experienced this kind of atmosphere last year. The faces of the Blazers generals did not show any change. They came to the rest area to change their equipment and go on the field to warm up.
After the warm-up of both sides ended, chief assistant Tyronn Lue once again gathered his teammates to cheer them on.
"Guys, I know everyone is not optimistic about us now, but please believe me, this kind of scene is nothing in NBA history!"
"Now let us forget everything, treat this game as the first game for both sides, and start again!"
"You have to fight for every ball, cherish every shot, and put the damn basketball in the basket."
"This is a night that belongs to Creekland! This is a game that belongs to the entire Cavaliers team! Let us believe in each other and give the fans the greatest performance!!!"
Tyronn Lue got louder and louder as he spoke, and this pre-game encouragement was enough to make everyone who heard his words feel excited.
The whole Cavaliers team is ready to work hard, they want to win the game!
…
As the starters of both teams came onto the court, the game officially began.
The Blazers' starting lineup continues throughout this year's playoff lineup.
The Cavaliers learned a lesson from the experience and returned to their normal lineup tonight. They no longer thought about putting Cousins on the bench as the sixth man to strengthen the firepower of the rotation.
Tonight's game highlighted one word: toughness to the end!
As soon as the referee threw the ball, Wang Zelin rocketed into the air and put the ball into Lillard's hands.
After Lillard got the ball, he quickly advanced. After observing the positions of the players on both sides, without hesitation, he passed the ball directly to Wang Zelin who was running upfield.
As soon as Wang Zelin got the ball, the boos at the scene continued.
Asian guys, don't even think about taking away a victory from Cleveland!
It's a pity that the boos from the audience were like the fiercest cheers to Wang Zelin.
He felt his heart beating violently and he was already excited.
One step inside the free throw line, faced with Cousins' block, Wang Zelin did not panic, and the basketball danced on his fingertips like an elf.
He blasted the ball vigorously with his left hand, pressed against Cousins' body and then made another powerful push to complete the breakthrough. He entered the penalty area, faced the basket, and took off with both feet.
"boom!"
A two-handed slam to the basket opened the scoring for the Trail Blazers.
Cousins caught the ball under the basket and prepared to serve quickly. When he stood on the baseline, James had already rushed to the three-point line, and Wang Zelin had just retreated to the free throw line.
"boom!"
The fast break was successful, and James also smashed the Blazers' basket.
Coach Terry shook his head helplessly. James was too good at timing this attack. He quickly launched a counterattack without giving Wang Zelin a chance to get into position. Even though Batum tried his best to keep up, he still couldn't prevent it.
Of course, he didn't mean to blame Batum. Looking at the entire league today, the only one who can prevent James from rushing to the frame is actually the Trail Blazers.
But there is a premise for this, that is, Wang Zelin sits under the basket. In a situation like this, once James rushes, there is nothing anyone can do.
Offense and defense transition, the Blazers attack.
In the penalty area, Wang Zelin played a low single. Considering that the defense was not strong enough, after being shaken away, Wang Zelin hit the board.
4:2!
The Cavaliers attack.
James held the ball in the backcourt, suddenly accelerated outside the three-point line in the frontcourt, and forced past Batum. When encountering Wang Zelin's defense, he did not pass the ball, but took a tough shot...
Although the ball didn't go in, the whistle sounded.
After the foul was committed, James' expression did not change at all. He turned around and stood at the free throw line, and then made two free throws.
4:4, the two teams tied.
"LeBron is a little different today. DeMarcus was slightly open just now, but he still chose to complete the ultimate by himself."
"After returning to Cleveland, I always feel that LeBron's desire to attack has become stronger."
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, who were in charge of the commentary, looked at James' back with interest.
From the very beginning, James showed a strong bloodthirsty instinct. Even when facing Wang Zelin, he showed no mercy, completely emphasizing the word "hard".
"I have a hunch that there might be a surprise tonight!"
After noticing some changes in James, Kenny Smith said with a little anticipation.
