Quicken Loans Center.
This is the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After five battles between the two sides, the finals G6 finally arrived. With a big score of 3-2, the Cavaliers got the match point. As long as they can win this game, they can get the final victory.
This will be a historic moment for Cleveland fans.
Therefore, even before the game started, the Cavaliers had already started making various preparations internally.
Their staff have even prepared things to be used at various award ceremonies. Some fans even specially posted slogans for the team to win the championship. Even the local news media wrote articles about the Cavaliers' victory in advance.
Before the game started, LeBron James, as the first man in the league, stood up and threw powder in front of the Cavaliers fans.
This is his consistent behavior on the field, and it was also done in advance to celebrate the victory.
Wow.
When the magnesium powder was thrown into the sky, countless fans cheered loudly, and the Cavaliers players also applauded.
LeBron looked even more excited and kept beating his chest in front of the crowd.
"Cleveland!"
"We will definitely be the championship!"
LeBron shouted.
The fans also screamed.
"champion!"
"champion!"
In such a fanatical atmosphere, the Minnesota Timberwolves came out lonely.
Compared to the enthusiasm of the opposing fans, the Timberwolves were extremely silent from top to bottom. Even the core of the team, Zhao Feiyang, did not say much this time and did not show any excitement after arriving at the team bench.
Players from both sides came on the court to high-five and say hello.
"Zhao, I said we would win the championship... You didn't believe it before, but do you believe it now?"
Kyrie Irving came over and said.
Zhao Feiyang did not respond, just smiled lightly.
LeBron came over shortly after, "Zhao, man, I really didn't expect the situation to turn out like this..." LeBron said, deliberately getting close to Zhao Feiyang's ear and lowering his voice.
To Zhao Feiyang's expectation, LeBron started to actively recruit him this time.
"Brother, I believe in your skills! You are very good, we all know this..."
"However, you and I both need to know that the league structure will change next season... Maybe we can win the championship this time, but what about next season? No one can guarantee it, especially if Kevin Durant joins the Warriors. After the team..."
"If other teams don't recruit, it's impossible for us to defeat the Warriors... I think you must know this better. You have played against the Warriors, and you must understand how terrifying their strength is... ....”
"So, Zhao, if you are willing, we can find a way to trade you over... As long as we work together, it is not impossible! Man, if you come to the Cavaliers, our strength It will definitely skyrocket, and then we will be the only team that can beat the Warriors..."
"Man, think about it! The Cavaliers can pay any price you want..."
LeBron's words were very sincere, but Zhao Feiyang was a little stunned. After a while, he spoke in a low voice next to LeBron.
"Join the Cavaliers?"
"Sounds really good! It must be very difficult to operate... And the most important thing is, if I also join a championship team like the Cavaliers, what is the difference between me and Durant joining the Warriors? "
"Let me see, LeBron, just come and join us! If you are willing to come to the Timberwolves, we will definitely beat the Warriors to win the championship next season... There is no doubt about it!"
Zhao Feiyang's few words made LeBron depressed.
"Me? Join the Timberwolves?"
"Man, don't be ridiculous! The Timberwolves are a fringe team. Look at their local basketball culture. If it weren't for you, they might not be able to reach the Western Conference Finals for another thirty years..."
LeBron chuckled.
Zhao Feiyang also shook his head, "No, LeBron, isn't Cleveland also a small city? Without you, what's the difference between Cleveland and Minneapolis?"
"But because of you, it went from an unknown city to a very famous city... You brought all of this. To me, Minneapolis is almost It’s my second hometown. I won’t leave here for the time being, at least not before the contract..."
Zhao Feiyang's answer really left LeBron speechless. He could only pat Zhao Feiyang's shoulder to express comfort.
"Good luck to you, man!"
Soon, the game begins.
The referee threw the ball high. Without Dwight Howard this time, everyone thought the team would suffer from the jump ball. Unexpectedly, Adrian Ennis jumped the ball with Tristan Thompson. The Timberwolves were not disappointed.
Snapped.
Adrian changed his previous style of silently assisting Howard and became more restless than before.
He jumped up high and slapped the basketball away first.
The basketball fell into Zach LaVine's hands, and LaVine held the ball and pushed forward. Just after halftime, Zhao Feiyang asked for the ball from the wing.
Snapped.
LaVine gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang faced JR. Smith in one-on-one singles.
The two faced each other. One second, JR was still carefully guarding Zhao Feiyang's ball control. The next second, Zhao Feiyang suddenly changed direction and passed JR. By the time JR reacted, Zhao Feiyang had already rushed to the basket.
Previously, when Zhao Feiyang entered the paint, Howard would come up to support him, and sometimes he would provide pick-and-roll coverage. Now without Howard, Zhao Feiyang planned to go up and fight hard, but he didn't expect that Adrian suddenly stepped up when he was approaching the penalty area.
Although it was just a simple pick-and-roll, Zhao Feiyang successfully caught the opponent's loopholes.
Tristan took the opportunity to cover up the defense and planned to block the shot after Zhao Feiyang jumped the ball. When Zhao Feiyang saw this, he didn't hesitate at all and threw the ball directly near the basket. Adrian, who was separated, entered the basket and jumped high.
He caught the ball with both hands in mid-air and then dunked the ball into the basket.
boom.
The ball went in.
The cooperation between the two aroused the excitement of the Timberwolves players on the sidelines.
It was a perfect opener to accompany the show.
However, for the Cavaliers, who were in the limelight, this kind of cooperation did not make them take it seriously.
The Cavaliers soon struck back.
Irving held the ball across half court. When he reached the half court, LeBron took the initiative to respond in order to return the ball.
boom.
The basketball is thrown into LeBron's hands.
After getting the ball, LeBron held the ball and played singles at the top of the arc. Just when he was about to continue facing Wiggins, LeBron was suddenly surprised to find that Wiggins did not come up this time, and the person who was marking him turned out to be Adrian, who previously played the four position under the basket.
Not only him, but fans also discovered this problem.
"what's the situation?"
"The Timberwolves let Wiggins play the four position?"
"They're using Adrian to guard LeBron? Are you kidding me?"
