v3 Chapter 4: LeBron pro, Cavaliers Championship (2 in 1)

Five days is not short or short.

In an instant, on June 1, the curtain of the NBA Finals officially opened in New Orleans.

Although they rested for five days, the fans remained unabated and even soared like never before.

Good food is not afraid of being late, no one wants to miss this peak showdown.

Unlike the regular season matchup, although the Cavaliers' training is still open to the public this time, all interviews were rejected after the training.

It can be seen that both the Cavaliers management and Lu are a little afraid of Whiteside's speechlessness before the game.

This is also a good thing.

Not everyone likes the saliva battle before the game. After experiencing the greatness of the Western Conference G6, fans also look forward to seeing more exciting matches in the finals.

In the locker room before the game, the players of both teams are making final preparations for the game.

"Don, is your shoulder okay?"

Davis asked Tang Tian that Tang Tian was doing a pre-match ice pack with the help of the team doctor.

Tang Tian was not pulled lightly by Green, but fortunately, the previous MRI test was negative, there was no structural damage, but only a slight strain on the ligament.

But even so, for the average person, this is an injury that requires at least two to three weeks of truce.

Now Tang Tian only rested for five days.

If it wasn't for the mid-season experience with injuries and the team doctor's permission, even the Pelicans won't let him play in the finals.

"I'm fine, not all the team doctors have checked."

Tang Tian said with a smile. Now he is glad that he has exchanged for the stadium fighters. Compared to when he was injured, the pain is much lighter.

Davis nodded, and Tang Tian said so, he was more at ease.

It didn't take long before Stevens and Gentry came to emphasize some details that need attention in the game.

When he was finished, he specifically called Davis out of the locker room.

"Tang has injured his right shoulder. I believe his ability to adjust, but this will definitely affect him. I need you to take more responsibility."

Stevens spoke earnestly.

"I will."

Davis said firmly.

Last year Tang Tian grabbed seven gods and finally took him to the first crown of his career.

Now that Tang Tian is injured, he should really stand up.

That night, the attendance rate at the New Orleans Arena was full, and there were crowds outside the stadium.

This grand scene is more exaggerated than last year.

The things like the ball market, the better the record, the bigger and bigger.

It's not just New Orleans, it's spread to many surrounding cities.

In addition, the G6 in the West Judgment played violently, but they can only watch it through the LED broadcast screen, and certainly did not watch it lively.

Not only local fans in New Orleans, but fans from all over the world are also looking forward to the finals.

At the beginning of G1, the global ratings had almost reached the peak of last year.

Part of this was stimulated by the G6 Western Conference, but it still shows that fans still like this highly confrontational and highly watchable game.

After the opening ceremony before the game, the starting points of the two teams came out one after another.

Jokic still hangs on the free card, and Dior replaces him as the starting center. The rest of the positions remain unchanged, and they are still Holiday, Tang Tian, ​​Ariza and Davis.

The Cavaliers are also the standard starting five, Irving, Shumpert, James, Love, Whiteside.

The tactical layout of the last three minutes before the game was completed, and the two sides started to debut one after another.

On the scene, there were special cut lenses for James and Tang Tian.

James still didn't throw magnesium powder before he came on the court, and I can see that he was serious at the beginning.

He won't do that again until he wins the championship for Cleveland.

Tang Tian's expression looked the same as usual, but he wore a shoulder pad on his right shoulder.

Because the Pelicans has been concealing injuries, no one knows what happened.

When he came on the court, he specially greeted his wife and children on the sidelines. Today is Children's Day, but he can only spend with his sons on the field.

In the cheers of the fans, Whiteside pulled the ball from Dior's head back to the Cavaliers half, officially opening the curtain of the 2016 ~ 2017 season finals.

As soon as the Cavaliers came up, they hung the ball to Whiteside.

Jokic didn't play, and the Pelicans' interior seemed empty.

Dior is old; Boban's shortcomings are too obvious, and he has not entered the rotation before; Harrell had a brilliant performance last season, but this season he played less.

With that counted, Whiteside could turn the tide on the inside.

However, Whiteside did not take advantage of two offensive attempts. Although Dior was old, he had enough tonnage and strength.

One-on-one, Whiteside may not have any advantage after losing weight.

Instead, the continuous onslaught failed to give the Pelicans a chance to play a defensive counterattack. Holloday and Davis each scored a goal. The Pelicans opened 4-0 and gave the Cavaliers a kick.

Even if Jokic couldn't play, the Pelicans were still the Pelicans.

The fans at the scene were very excited. The Pelicans just reversed the Warriors in G6. The fans are looking forward to their enthusiasm and solving the Cavaliers' defending championship in four games.

"This time, Michael is right. The overall strength of this team is much stronger than expected."

Brin was also expressing emotion.

The Pelicans have a 15-man roster and 12 have an activated roster. There are too many people who can play.

Everyone felt like the Pelicans were going to do their best, but the Cavaliers soon proved their Eastern Conference title.

The first to stand out was the little emperor James.

Whiteside couldn't beat Dior.

After all, Dior is old and can rely on tonnage and strength in the low position, but the speed disadvantage is too great after three seconds.

Moreover, Love was not playing well in the regular season. In the playoffs, the situation gradually recovered. Davis assisted a few defenses, and Love received the ball.

Of course, the bigger problem is that Tang Tian feels very offline, just like the G6.

He missed Love's jumper several times.

As in the regular season, his injury still had a big impact on his feel.

And this is exactly the thing that can restrict him the most.

For the Cavaliers, Tang Tian feels bad, as long as he prevents his breakthrough and passing.

Although the Pelicans relied on strengthening the defense and the Cavaliers deadlocked to the final quarter, James was in a hot state and scored 40+ triple-doubles.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Pelicans 103-92 away and won their first victory in the finals.

James scored 41 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in triple-doubles. Love scored 20 points and Irving also scored 19 points and 5 assists.

The Pelicans scored in double figures, and the overall performance was pretty good.

Davis contributed a team-high 26 points and 11 rebounds, and Williams also had 15 points on the bench.

But Tang Tian feels average, only 7 of 17 shots, contributed 21 points, 11 assists, 7 boards and 4 steals.

This number is already very good for the average player, but as the first person in the league, it is obviously failing.

"Jokic's absence has had a big impact on the Pelicans, and Pachulia has ruined the Spurs and the Pelicans ..."

"I think the bigger problem is Tang's state. He still feels depressed like the G6. This is really a big problem!"

"I don't know if you noticed the shoulder pads on Tang's right shoulder? Is he injured?"

"No news before the game, probably not, but it is also possible, otherwise there is no reason to wear a shoulder pad."

"Jokic wouldn't have been able to play. If Tang still plays with injuries, the Pelicans ... I really have to work for the Cavaliers this year."

"The Warriors are really out of the game and still haunted. Will the two main players be scrapped in a series?"

"Green: LeBron, I've cleared the way for you. When will the money arrive?"

"Ah, I thought the final venue was as exciting as the G6, but it seems to be over before it starts!"

"No way, the injury is also part of the game. If you blame it, blame Tatum! This year's playoffs have hurt a few stars!"

"So ... the Cavaliers Championship? LeBron will bring the first championship to the city of Cleveland, just like last year's Don!"

"Knight championship! My emperor scored 40+ triple doubles in the first game. No one can compete in this state, and he must be a championship!"

"Is anyone aware of the show before TNT? Michael is optimistic about the Pelicans again, and the result ..."

"Jordan: Sorry, the last time I was less poisonous, this time I added something ..."

"Tell you every day to say that Tang overtakes me, and watch my milk turn over you → _ →"

"Gaze from God."

...

The first game of the finals came to an end, and the Pelicans looked down on.

If it is a full lineup, the Pelicans will most likely suppress the Cavaliers as easily as the regular season.

But now Jokic can't play, and Tang Tian is suspected to be injured. It is expected that fans have such a view.

As they say, injuries are part of the game, and for so many years in the NBA, countless teams have suffered injuries.

The Pelicans did not encounter this situation until this year, and it is already lucky.

"Cleveland, championship! New Orleans, general runner-up! @ 勒克莱 @ 欧文 @ 乐 福 ..."

And just after the end of the first game, Whiteside, who did not get vented before the game, did not hold back and sent such a slogan on social media.

And behind the slogan was Aite who owned the Cavaliers.

Obviously, it is a very powerful slogan, but it was completely changed by him.

No one from the Cavaliers responded to him. In fact, James's social media was closed. If he knew it, he would be furious.

Whiteside's approach, as always, owes IQ, but what I can feel is that winning the first game has greatly improved the momentum of the Cavaliers.

It's not whether the Pelicans are going to do anything, but whether the Cavaliers can do it all.

The second game of the finals will take place three days later.

These three days are an opportunity for both teams to adjust.

The Pelicans arranged daily shooting training.

Tang Tian was hurt, and such things can't be rushed.

What Stevens is doing now is more about trying to mobilize the status of other players.

Tang Tian's injury is not too serious, recovery only takes time, so the longer they can drag the series, the greater the chance of winning.

Training entered the final full-field confrontation, while Stevens was observing the status of the players, while discussing the starting center of the next game with Gentry.

Dior was clearly targeted in the game and they had to make some changes.

Should Boban and Harrell try, or move Davis to the fifth position.

"I think AD 5 is the best choice. His current height and weight will not be too bad against Whiteside. Love is also a space player and West can play against him."

Gentry said what he thought.

Stevens did not respond.

Gentry is right, but the problem is that he needs Davis' offense more now.

Not everyone is Tang Tian, ​​who can maintain offense and defense in such a high-intensity game, at least now Davis is not.

"Or I think Harrell is an option, and he has been in a good shape in training sessions."

Gentry saw that Stevens was unresponsive, and then suggested.

This time Stevens nodded, Harrell could carry it, and his ability to eat bread was good, which is indeed a good choice.

"Coach, I can play."

Just as they were discussing, Jokic, who had been cycling on the sidelines in front, didn't know when they came to the two.

Stevens turned to look at Jokic in doubt.

"The team doctor said it was okay?"

Gentry was pleasantly surprised by the accident.

Jokic can play and is definitely the best choice.

Especially now that Tang Tian is injured, the team needs a second organization point.

"It shouldn't be a problem, I can feel it."

Jokic said, shaking his legs, and he looked really good.

Stevens was cautious and asked Gentry to call the team doctor.

After a meal, the team doctor gave his opinion.

"It is possible to play, but there is definitely a certain risk. Ankle injuries need to be very careful for athletes."

"Coach, I can really play, and the team needs me now."

Although Jokic usually looks at the uncle, he is just like his playing style on the court ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The character is really a tough guy.

"I will let you fight, but will limit playing time."

Stevens couldn't beat Jokic in the end, and indeed, as Jokic said, the Pelicans need him now.

The whole confrontation on the field was over, and the players ended one after another.

After a short break, Stevens called the players back together.

In addition to some details during the training, he also said about the start of the next game.

"Nicholas will come back to play for the starter, but not for long. Boris and Montres are still ready."

Hearing Jokic's comeback, the Pelicans looked at each other, and then they were all excited.

Losing the first game, they need some external stimulus, and Jokic's comeback is definitely a boost for them.

But Tang Tian's expression was not too excited.

After Stevens announced the end of training, he did not return to the locker room immediately, but went to Stevens alone.

"Brad, I don't think that will work."

Tang Tian chats with Stevens privately, he said more directly.

"I know Nicolas wants to play and the team needs him, but we can't bet on his future."

Tang Tian was injured because of the presence of a court fighter and his injuries were only minor injuries.

However, Jokic had no system and the second was a more serious injury. It was too risky to come back.

He was a traverser, and he clearly remembered the result of Durant's forced comeback, and Durant suffered an ankle injury.
