warrior godfather

Chapter 661
The Warriors bloodbathed the Cavaliers in two consecutive games, which had a great impact.

During the post-match interview, Zhang Yu raised two fingers. Needless to say, the reporter knew what he meant this time.

The Warriors only need to win two more games to win the championship. At that time, he will open champagne again.

Before the start of the finals, Zhang Yu boasted that the Cavaliers are nothing to be afraid of and that the Warriors will win the championship. He even opened champagne in advance to celebrate. Even the Americans who always like to exaggerate think that he is extremely arrogant.

But the Warriors beat the Cavaliers immediately, and Zhang Yu's arrogance also turned into self-confidence.

Fans in the Bay Area have completely grasped the right to speak on the Internet, and Asian and Chinese fans followed suit, saying that this is a "victory for the Asians."

Americans adore successful people, especially confident ones. Zhang Yu is the most accomplished Asian in American sports, and has changed many Americans' images of China and Asia.

Many Koreans and Japanese who were originally hostile to China became interested in Chinese culture because of Zhang Yu, and after a deeper understanding, they changed their views on China.

Zhang Yu is so popular in the United States, and even more highly respected in China.

After he had an in-depth discussion with Mark Baum, Mark Baum immediately began to operate, and the marketing and hype of Zhang Yu in China's domestic market went to a higher level. These days, Zhang Yu is the hottest person on the Internet in China.

The Chinese people have a lot of national thoughts. Although Zhang Yu is only the owner of an NBA team, in their hearts, he represents the image of China.

The Warriors' victory over the Cavaliers is not only a battle between two American teams, but also Zhang Yu's glory for the country.

In him, Chinese people have seen the self-confidence that they have never seen in domestic coaches, players, and stars. This kind of self-confidence and demeanor match China's thriving national strength.

Coupled with the help of Mark Baum, Zhang Yu suddenly became the center of traffic, and his popularity in China has greatly increased, even becoming a household name.

After G2 ended, CCTV's "Daily 30:[-] File" even took [-] seconds to report the news of the Warriors' victory over the Cavaliers in the finals, and briefly introduced Zhang Yu, so that many middle-aged and elderly people who never care about sports will know took his name.

Among young people, Zhang Yu's popularity is no less than that of any domestic entertainment star. Many girls who don't watch the NBA also know about Zhang Yu through Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili and other apps, and many boys are even more famous. Therefore, I became interested in the NBA and watched G1 and G2 of the Warriors and Cavaliers.

They couldn't understand the game, but they were moved by the Warriors' smooth tactics, sharp defensive counterattacks, Curry's breathtaking ultra-long three-pointers, and most importantly-the Warriors' overwhelming strength, and became fans of the Warriors. Later, Zhang Yu and the Warriors were spontaneously promoted on the Internet, which aroused more people's interest.

And at this time, the Huaxia college entrance examination was over, and the pressure on the senior high school students suddenly disappeared. Once they were liberated, they all had the idea of ​​revenge and entertainment, and wanted to make up for the hard work of the senior high school students.

Just at this moment, Zhang Yu came into their sight.

Young people are young and energetic, the position they yearn for the most is under the spotlight, and the feeling they like most is being high-spirited.

Zhang Yu first uttered bold words under the attention of the world, and then he said that he must practice, bloodbath the knights, which is most suitable for their appetite.

Love the house and love it, and many students became interested in the NBA and became Warriors fans.

Young people have uncertain views, are more susceptible to influence, and are full of energy. They already like sports. Compared with middle-aged people, they have more leisure time and focus more on their hobbies.

At 6 a.m. on June 10, Beijing time, many people who hadn’t watched the NBA before, especially young people, poured into the Tencent live broadcast room to watch the finals G3.

Both teams have continued the starting lineups of the previous two games. The Warriors are Curry, Clay, Leonard, Antetokounmpo, and Green's dead five. The Cavaliers are Irving, Smith, James, Love, and Tristan. -Thompson's regular lineup.

After the start of the finals, Olynyk fell out of the starting lineup. His defense was mediocre, he could neither protect the frame, nor perform unlimited defense changes. Zhang Yu simply started directly and died.

In the finals, there is no need to save energy, and there is no need to worry about the consumption of Green and Antetokounmpo as the insiders of the five small lineups.

In the first two games, Zhang Yu's transformation effect was remarkable. The Cavaliers couldn't break the Warriors' defense switch.

Today, if the Cavaliers can't break through the Warriors' defense, the result will definitely not be good.

However, Cleveland fans were not affected by the big defeats of the first two games. Tonight's Quicken Loans Center was packed and the atmosphere was warm. They devoted all their enthusiasm to support their home team.

Cleveland may be a ridiculous city, but they're not ridiculous fans.

"Di-"

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Antetokounmpo beat Tristan Thompson and sent the ball to the backcourt, and the Warriors took possession of the ball on the first attack.

Curry bent over to pick up the basketball, dribbled upcourt, passed the ball to Green in the low post, and ran to the weak side to open up space.

Antetokounmpo stepped up to set a screen for Klay, who moved from the top of the arc to the strong sideline.

Clay first ran an off-ball tactic to find the touch, which is the habit of the Warriors at the beginning of the game.

Tristan Thompson came out of defense and rushed to Klay, but he was a step slower, Green passed the ball in time, Clay caught the ball and shot, a three-pointer went out of the frame, the rebound was turned by Love .

After Clay missed the shot, he shook his head and retreated to the backcourt.

His hands are still a little cold. This kind of ball that catches and shoots after using the screen is completely in his offensive rhythm. Tristan Thompson's defense is still a step slower, which is a must in normal times.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu saw Clay striking the iron, but he didn't take it seriously, but had other thoughts.

It seems that the Cavaliers should switch defenses against off the ball, but they just don't know how to defend against the ball...

On the court, Love protected the backcourt rebound and passed it to James. James quickly advanced to the frontcourt, wanting to fight back.

However, the Warriors retreated immediately after Clay made a shot. The speed was extremely fast, and no one was fighting for offensive rebounds, which made James' desire to promote a fast break in vain.

Both James and Irving are good fast break players. Zhang Yu paid great attention to this. In the first two games, the Warriors adopted the strategy of giving up offensive rebounds and retreating quickly. attack.

The Cavaliers fought in position, James held the ball at the top of the arc, and Smith came up to cover him.

On the first attack in the opening game, James will call Curry.

Curry, like the previous two games, came up late, and Leonard also bypassed the screen and pounced on James.

But after Smith set up the screen, he dismantled it early and ran to the other side 45 degrees. Curry couldn't get back in time. James passed the ball too much. Smith shot the ball and hit a three-pointer, 3:0.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows and whispered to himself:

"interesting……"

In this round, James seemed to be naming Curry, but in fact he was attracting the Warriors' defensive attention and creating open opportunities for Smith.

This is much better than when James named Curry before, as long as Curry was delayed, the Cavaliers' offense would be reorganized.

Looking back, the Warriors attacked, and Zhang Yu gestured to Curry.

Curry understood, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and beckoned to Green.

Director Lu took the lead in making moves, and Zhang Yu would not be polite.

He asked James to name Curry, and Zhang Yu asked Curry to name Love.

Green mentioned the top of the arc and covered Curry. Love followed and stopped in front of Curry. Smith ignored Green, squeezed through the cover, and rushed towards Curry.

Curry took his time and passed the ball to Green.

Green catches the ball and goes down to the frame, James on the weak side shrinks to help defend, and Green takes advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball to Leonard in the corner.

The Cavaliers couldn't make enough rotations, Leonard was unguarded, and he shot the ball as soon as he caught the ball, and hit the net with a three-pointer, 3:3.

"Beautiful! Leonard seized the open space, and the Cavaliers flanked Curry and missed the bottom corner. This is very similar to the first game!" Ke Fan said.

He was sitting in the explanatory seat of the Quicken Loan Center, beside him was Yang Yi in a neat suit.

The two will explain the finals on the spot throughout the whole process. They came to Cleveland from the Bay Area yesterday.

Yang Yi frowned:

"The Cavaliers are still flanking Curry? The lesson of the first game is not far away. Flanking Curry will lead to a terrible death!"

Kevin smiled and said:

"The Cavaliers also lost badly in the last game. Maybe Director Lu felt that no matter whether Curry was pinched or not, he was still a loser. It's better to lock Curry and let's talk about it later."

What he said hit Director Lu's mind, and at the same time, Zhang Yu also guessed what Director Lu was thinking.

Because in his previous life, that's what Director Lu did. He broke the boat, flanked Curry, and let Barnes open. As a result, Barnes suddenly lost his state and missed a three-pointer, giving the Cavaliers a chance to come back.

However, this trick will not work for the current Warriors.

In the next round, Irving singled out Clay, broke through to the basket, encountered Antetokounmpo's help defense, missed the layup, and was caught by Clay on the rebound.

Looking back, Curry holds the ball and Green picks and rolls, and after attracting a pinch, he distributes the ball to Green who is running down.

Tristan Thompson shrank the defense, Green threw the ball lightly into the sky, Antetokounmpo jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket, 5:3.

After landing, Antetokounmpo yelled at the Cavaliers fans on the bottom line, full of domineering.

Zhang Yu applauded, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Leonard and Antetokounmpo are not comparable to Barnes and Iguodala. Director Lu gives them a chance, and they will never let it go.

On the other side of the technical table, Director Lu pursed his lips tightly with a solemn expression.

The disastrous defeat in G1 made him mentally prepared, but seeing that the Warriors still easily cracked the attack on Curry, he still couldn't help worrying.

Don't the Cavaliers have no chance of winning at all?

On the court, the Cavaliers attacked, James and Smith picked and rolled, and named Curry.

Curry chased back after a delay, but at this moment, James suddenly started and rushed inside.

Leonard went up to meet him, James suddenly lowered his shoulders and pushed Leonard away, drove straight into the penalty area, and succeeded in a tomahawk dunk.

"Di-"

When James landed, the whistle sounded to block the foul!
Leonard looked surprised and went up to reason with the referee. Green, Curry and others also surrounded him and appealed to the referee.

On the big screen in mid-air, the replay clearly showed that Leonard did not stop James from advancing, but stuck up from the side. Instead, James pushed Leonard away with his own strength. This was a normal physical confrontation, but The referee was unmoved and insisted on his penalty.

The Warriors players had no choice but to disperse, James stood on the free throw line, Director Lu's solemn expression disappeared and he smiled.

The opportunity for the Cavaliers to win has come.

　Note: Americans love to laugh at Cleveland, even people from other countries, making up a lot of Cleveland jokes.
