Uh-huh.
When the basketball hit the net, fans throughout the Quicken Loans Center cheered wildly. Zhao Feiyang successfully scored the ball with a tip-in at the last moment.
138 to 136.
After the game, the Cavaliers players cheered and celebrated together, but the Warriors did not accept the reality. The team's head coach Cole was still skeptical about Zhao Feiyang's last shot, so he took the initiative to go to the technical table and asked for a video replay.
"I think he struck a little late..."
Coach Cole said.
Of course, the technical desk cannot refuse this situation. So, with all the fans watching, everyone saw the scene replayed on the electronic screen.
In the continuous repetition of slow motion, fans all saw that Zhao Feiyang successfully threw the ball one second before the timer sounded. This means that there is no problem with his shot, and this shot is also effective.
Cavaliers players once again broke into cheers.
The final score on the spot was also changed to indicate the recognition of the result.
After watching the video, Coach Kerr said nothing and led the Warriors players towards the tunnel. Before the Warriors players left, Draymond Green looked very unconvinced and took the initiative to say harsh words to Zhao Feiyang and others while the two sides were shaking hands.
"You just got lucky this time!"
"Wait! If you can reach the finals, we can kill you in only 4 games!"
Green dropped his harsh words and left.
The Cavaliers players had no reaction to this. Anyway, their team won this time, and that was enough!
Only the core of the team like Zhao Feiyang was thinking seriously about the problem. He really took Green's words to heart. Therefore, when the team left the field and walked to the tunnel, Zhao Feiyang also took the initiative to walk to coach Tyronn Lue. Start chatting with him.
"Coach Lu, there should be no problem for the team to reach the playoffs in this state! But what should we do if we get to the Eastern Conference Finals or the Finals? Frankly speaking, I am worried... and I am more curious. Will the team have any recruitment plans for next season?"
Zhao Feiyang asked.
Tyronn Lu smiled helplessly when he heard what he said.
"Zhao, in fact, I also want to know the answer to the question you asked. But I can't give the answer! The team's current state is indeed bad enough. Although young people like Clarkson and Nance were introduced in the middle of the season, they have no idea about the ball. The team’s help is really limited…”
"LeBron is recovering from injury now. If it weren't for you, the team would have lost several games in a row..."
"I can't say anything about the signing plan! LeBron's contract is about to end this season. Whether he chooses to renew his contract with the team is the biggest question the Cavaliers need to face! It is also the biggest question we all need to face! "
"As long as this question is answered, other questions will be answered!"
After hearing this, Zhao Feiyang really had nothing to say.
Tyronn Lue's words have made it very clear, that is, the Cavaliers will only revolve around LeBron. Everything depends on the results of the team this season and what LeBron will choose next season! If he wants to bring his talents to the West Coast, there is definitely a big question whether Cleveland's current lineup can be maintained!
Boss Gilbert is not a generous person. He can indeed consume the team's resources for LeBron, but only if LeBron can bring a championship to the team.
Except for LeBron, no one else can achieve results in a small city team like the Cavaliers, let alone get as much support as him.
After beating the Warriors, the Cavaliers went into rest mode.
The All-Star Weekend is coming soon, and players can take the opportunity to rest for a few days before the official start. As always, the results of the All-Star voting are known early on at this stage.
As a leader among yellow-skinned players, Zhao Feiyang's popularity is naturally high, especially among the huge Chinese fan base. His approval rate is higher than Jeremy Lin's.
However, he did not win the All-Star Game votes.
The battle for the vote king has always been between LeBron and Stephen Curry. Curry beat LeBron at first, but in the second stage, LeBron came from behind and finally won the vote king of this All-Star Game with a slight advantage. .
According to the new rules of the All-Star Game, LeBron and Curry will also have to conduct a live selection ceremony.
LeBron, who had recovered from his injury at this time, did not plan to cancel the All-Star Game, but instead participated in the live TV show with Curry.
Compared with previous years’ selection activities, this year’s selection activities are particularly different.
LeBron's first choice was Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Curry's first choice was Kevin Durant.
LeBron's second choice was Kevin Love, and Curry's second choice was Klay Thompson.
However, LeBron did not choose his teammate Zhao Feiyang for the third time, but chose his former little brother Kyrie Irving.
Interestingly, after he missed Zhao Feiyang, Curry selected Zhao Feiyang in the third place.
When watching the live TV show, Zhao Feiyang was also confused by such a selection! He didn't mind LeBron choosing Irving, but he didn't understand why Curry chose him so early!
As the program continued, Zhao Feiyang gradually discovered some clues.
The players who entered Curry's team later include James Harden, Damian Lillard, Kemba Walker and others. These guards, including him, all have one thing in common, that is, their three-point shooting percentage this season is among the best. Although some of these players are not super shooters, at least their three-point performance this season is remarkable.
Compared with the players in LeBron's camp, their three-point shooting ability is naturally much better.
"What does Stephen want to do?"
Zhao Feiyang suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.
Not only him, but many fans watching the live broadcast were also shocked. Although Curry also selected a lot of forward players, the defenders he chose looked so deliberate that it is difficult not to doubt that he did this on purpose!
"Oh! No! What is Stephen planning to do? Does he want Team Curry to kill Team LeBron with shooting?"
"Although this idea is crazy! But I really want to see, if a group of players on Team Curry can throw stable three-pointers, what will Team LeBron look like?"
"It's either a big man or a shooter! Stephen's intention is too direct! But the more it is like this, the more interesting it is! I'm really looking forward to this All-Star Game! Maybe it won't be as boring as before..."
Amid fans' expectations and controversy, the selection ceremony has officially ended, and the countdown to All-Star Weekend has officially begun.
