Chapter 735
On the evening of the 27th, Quicken Loans Arena in Kecheng.

With the announcer shouting loudly, the lights dimmed, the Cavaliers logo appeared on the central big screen, and the headshots or full-body photos of Irving, Butler, Anthony and others appeared one after another. Cheers erupted in the arena. The last one was LeBron opened his hands to embrace the photos of the audience, the passionate background music continued to explode, and finally everyone gathered quickly, and the Avengers assembled.

In the ESPN live broadcast, Van Gundy laughed: "They all lost to Su Yang, and now they are imitating the Avengers gathering. Do they think they will face difficulties and obstacles, but will win in the end? Su Yang is not the villain Thanos, Su Yang is full of Glory!"

Jackson nodded: "It's better to exaggerate that this is a teamwork challenge to the giants. Su Yang holds seven championships, including a three-peat championship. He can definitely be regarded as a giant in the history of the NBA. That can better win the support of neutral fans. "

The host Breen answered: "The 21 commentators predicted before the game, only 9 of them supported the Kings, which is somewhat different from what you said. The reason is that the Cavaliers' full healthy lineup is difficult to defend, and the Cavaliers have home court advantage. You How would you rate it?"

Jackson chuckled: "That's because the predictions were too focused on the lineup and didn't consider the chemical reaction of the lineup. The Cavaliers are very good in singles, especially when they are looking for a cover and back block. But the Kings managed to reverse the Spurs 0-3. team!"

During the conversation, the appearance ceremony ended.

The lights were turned on, and cheers rang through the arena. LeBron took the microphone and walked to the venue to make an important speech.

Su Yang didn't care to listen carefully, and turned to look at the Cavaliers' bench, and found that Butler happened to be looking over, and the two looked at each other for a while, smiling at each other.But the moment Butler turned his head, a face full of anger suddenly appeared, as if he wanted to tear Su Yang apart on the spot.

Anthony and the others were full of excitement, as if they could not wait to start the fight immediately, and they must catch the king and beat him up.

After a while, LeBron's speech was over, the audience cheered again, the whistle sounded, and the game entered the final preparations.

Su Yang clapped his hands and called the whole team to gather around: "This will be a very special series. We didn't formulate the main strategy in advance. We will conduct a lot of on-the-spot command, especially in the positional defense. Everyone pay attention to my actions when returning to defense. At other times, it is enough to play according to the training content of the past few days. Most of them have a violent impact at the beginning, just control the rhythm..."

Curry and others nodded again and again. After finishing speaking, the whole team stood shoulder to shoulder and fisted, shouting in unison 123 The king is the best.

A short whistle followed.

The two teams started to enter the field. LeBron, who always likes to interact with his opponents, did not take the initiative to high-five. Butler and others ignored the gestures of Antetokounmpo and others. Forcing, stand still.

On the King's side, Curry, Brogdon, Covington, Antetokounmpo, and Lopez.

On the Cavaliers side, Irving, Butler, LeBron, Anthony, TT Thompson.

The announcer yells for a jump ball.

The referee Tony threw the ball up casually.

Snapped! TT Thompson took the lead to touch the ball, and moved back with force. The Cavaliers won the jump ball, and the cheers broke out again.

"GO Cavs GO! GO Cavs GO!" More than 8000 spectators shouted in unison to cheer for the Cavaliers.

"Let's go together! I, Su, why are you afraid?" Su Yangxing imitated Xiao Feng and shouted, one against ten thousand.

On the court, Irving dribbled the ball across the center line, passed it to Butler with the help of a cover, and then accelerated to run over, obviously trying to set up a wall to block Brogdon. The purpose was naturally to make Butler dislocate and single out Curry , physical exertion from the very beginning.

The knight's fighting spirit is full, and his tactics are also full.

Fortunately, in a similar situation, Su Yang had already arranged a solution.

When Curry saw this, he stepped back immediately, leaving room for Brogdon to bypass the screen, and at the same time ensuring that there was a large enough buffer to delay Butler's sudden breakthrough, and also to prevent Irving's false screen from suddenly dismantling and hitting the basket. Use three tricks.

Butler was stunned for a moment, then started to accelerate and went straight to Curry, but Brogdon followed closely in the blink of an eye.

The tactics failed, and Owen made a screen again, but there was a little impatient expression, probably just for the championship, according to the arrangement of Tyronn Lue and the team's needs, he did not agree with the similar style of play, after all, who is singled out? No need to cover.

In a hurry, facing the same routine, Curry did not choose to back his legs as before, because this time the screen was initiated at the top of the arc. If he retreated again, Butler could easily reach the free throw line and enter the middle of the shot. The attack distance can be shot.

Although Butler's mid-range shooting efficiency is average, there is no need to let it go directly, nor can he give the touch easily.

I saw Curry stepping up and grabbing, forming a double-team with Brogdon who squeezed through the screen to catch up. Antetokounmpo on the weak side of the King's left side then rotated, preparing to defend against Irving's potential catch and attack the basket, while lowering his center of gravity and preparing to attack the basket. Anthony back to the defense and swooped into the bottom corner.

Seeing that his offense and passing to Irving were inefficient, Butler turned to throw the ball to LeBron who was raised on the left.

There are only 10 seconds left on the offensive clock.

TT Thompson chased and ran to the right 45 degrees to set up a wall as a screen to block Covington. On the King's side, Covington boldly chose to squeeze through the screen to chase LeBron. Anyway, there is a big Los Angeles squatting inside, unless LeBron becomes Curry , made an emergency stop and rushed to shoot a three-pointer.

After some tossing, there were only 5 seconds left in the attack time.

LeBron didn't take a three-pointer, and then found TT to cover to get rid of Covington. The short corner on the right faced Daluo and forced to the basket.

"Hurry up, Al!"

Su Yang was amazed. The king was squatting Antetokounmpo and Da Luo in the paint. LeBron's success rate in rushing to the basket was very low. LeBron must also understand the truth. When LeBron chose to force the charge, it was obviously to start the game. Just set the tone for this game.

No matter how difficult it is, we must rush.

In the eyes of the crowd looking forward to it, LeBron collected the ball and took off, carried Antetokounmpo and Daluo to encircle him, and resorted to the mid-air lever that had not been used for many years, and successfully avoided the encirclement, but he was too old and his continuity was a little bit weak , The shot was short, smashing the basket and striking the iron.

Thompson, who followed up, rose from the ground, roared, and grabbed an offensive rebound over the heads of Antetokounmpo and Daluo. After landing, he quickly turned and passed to Butler on the outside three-point line. The Cavaliers regained the ball. Cheers erupted in the arena.

Butler took the ball from the right wing, quickly brought it to the top of the arc, and looked at the left sideline, while Irving, who was standing there, immediately started to rush to the top of the arc, making it clear that he would cooperate with Butler again to create a dislocation single-handed match. Curry's chance, Covington immediately switched defenses.

Seeing that the Kings pre-switched the defense in advance, Barrett immediately passed the ball to Irving, and Irving knew it in seconds, and then divided the left wing after receiving the ball. Because the Kings switched defenses in advance, now LeBron is facing Curry, and the Cavaliers passed the ball. Reach the goal.

When LeBron played Curry, he had a bigger size advantage than Barrett played Curry, and the success rate was naturally higher. The audience immediately cheered.

In the blink of an eye, Antetokounmpo gave up on Anthony and rushed directly to LeBron, but Curry turned around suddenly, crossed the paint and went straight to the right corner. Instead of switching to Anthony, he went to defend center Thompson. Anthony stayed To Big Lopez.

After switching defenses in advance, the Kings continued to switch defenses after the fact, without any dislocation disadvantage, and successfully protected Curry.

Su Yang's strategy is full, even if the Cavaliers finally get a chance to displace Curry, it is an extremely inefficient offensive method.

The Cavaliers can make another pass along the three-point line to find the opportunity for Thompson to single out Curry, but the Kings can continue to respond. In addition, there is only 14 seconds for the second attack, which is obviously too late. LeBron can only force a start to break through the letter elder brother.

The two arrived in the paint area with their front and rear feet. LeBron took off with the ball and put it to the basket. Antetokounmpo did not block the shot at all and only raised his hand to interfere.

The basketball rebounded with a bang, and Anthony got stuck early and took off with all his strength, and he got an offensive rebound again.

The cheers from the Quicken Loan Center exploded again.

Anthony's hard work infected the audience, and everyone on the Cavaliers' bench paid full attention, but Anthony didn't dare to play hard.

Antetokounmpo and Da Luo's siege was too fierce, Anthony didn't want to take risks, the basketball passed to the three-point line, and Irving received the ball and retreated.

The intention of the action was obvious.

Don't cover up, I'll take care of it myself!

On the king's side, Su Yang also waved his hand to remind Curry to defend by himself. After all, Curry must defend by himself, and they cannot all switch positions.

"Common!"

Curry gritted his teeth slightly, bent his knees and stood in a flat step. He didn't stand back and forth to shoot, or stood sideways to seek help from the inside line. He wanted to defend against Irving's breakthrough alone. His eyes were full of firmness, like the last armor to resist the invasion. , still in!
Owen ignored it, bowed down, lowered his center of gravity and continued to shake, suddenly started to release the ball in the direction, then stopped abruptly and turned around to pull the ball, but he stopped halfway and then went back. It was expected long ago, and he directly threw the ball with both hands.

Irving hurriedly protected the ball, and instantly got entangled with Curry. Both of them fell to the ground, holding the ball tightly, and neither of them let go.

Then the referee's whistle sounded.

Scrimmage!
