From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 212 G2, the battle continues.

On May 2018, 5, the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals continued at North Shore Garden!

"The fans are so enthusiastic."

The Celtics players who participated in the tactical joint training sat on the team bus and kept sighing. They were trying to enter the arena, and the Celtics fans outside surrounded the bus.

Fans held or painted all kinds of exaggerated slogans on their bodies, as well as posters of various players emerged in endlessly.

After the Celtics won the victory in G1 and Irving scored a record quadruple-double, the Celtics fans became more excited, welcomed and supported the home team even more, and the fanaticism was frightening.

The Celtics players finally felt the same atmosphere as Utah and Portland, the ubiquitous support and love for the home team.

"Security is here."

The Celtics were besieged for half an hour before the arena security finally arrived belatedly, pulling away the fans and allowing the players to enter.

"Guys, don't let this stuff mess you up," Stevens said.

"understandable."

"It's just a trifle."

The Celtics players are high-spirited, and their mentality has relaxed a lot after winning G1.

Sweet victory, the Celtics players seem to have sweetness in their mouths. This victory brings them more than just a lead in the series.

Victory and the others understand that there are no iron walls, and all iron walls will only be smashed to pieces by a harder hammer.

The opponent has LeBron, we have Jianghu, we also have Irving, we can completely write our own legends!
This boost in self-confidence is enough to turn them around.

A thing called champion temperament is slowly condensing in this team.

In the Cavaliers locker room, LeBron James is doing physical therapy with Tristan Thompson.

"TT, the task of defending Jiang and Owen in this game is entrusted to you, especially you, it may be more difficult!!"

"Okay, why do you want to do this?"

"Because I'm going to put all my energy into the offense."

LeBron James had a confident smile on his face, his expression at ease, as if he was completely unaffected by his Game [-] loss.

Seeing James' expression like this, the Cavaliers players present breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they thought about what James just said, he wants to devote all his energy to the offensive end? ?
上一场比赛防守江湖和欧文，还21投14中！轰了34分14篮板3助攻2抢断2失误！

How terrifying will LeBron James, who is going all out to attack in this game, be?How incomprehensible? ?
There is no Celtics player who can completely match James!
Irving, Smart, Brown, Jiang Hu—none of them can do it. No player can completely limit James. Facing each player's different defenses, James can use different methods to complete scoring with great efficiency.

40+? 50+? 60+?

Or maybe .70+?

The Cavaliers players can be said to be the group of people who are most familiar with James.But they didn't dare to guess how James' performance would be.

Because since the 2016 finals, they haven’t seen the legendary "Full James". Most of the time, the team loses before James starts to show off, or the opponent is about to fall before James starts to show off. up.

They couldn't help but look forward to it.

"This game should be very interesting."

................................................

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the scene of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals G2!!"

"The Cleveland Cavaliers are at the Boston Celtics."

"The first game has refreshed many people's perception of basketball. The players of the two teams brought us an epic confrontation."

"The first game of the king's halberd, the old man won the quadruple double and killed the old master. In this game, will Irving, LeBron, and this pair of teachers and friends set off a monstrous torrent?"

"Jianghu, this magical boy who has repeatedly created miracles. Can he win the favor of the goddess of fate again and play a dominant performance?"

"Irving made great contributions as a surprise player in the last game. Can this game continue to perform miraculously?"

"Thompson, Jaylen Brown, Smart, Korver, etc. players, their names will be written in history, and their performance will become legends."

"The highest level of basketball confrontation in the world, the second game of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, is about to start!"

The Cavaliers players appeared amid boos.

They are used to the noise of the away game, and even the explosive atmosphere of the Celtics did not stir up waves in their hearts.

One step at a time, LeBron James came out of the tunnel.

Other players on the Cavaliers have already stepped out first.

And James didn't trot and didn't interact with his teammates.

Not even a dusting of magnesium powder...

There was fire in his eyes.

This flame is burning more and more vigorously with every step!

Stepping onto the center of the court, he put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes.

Listen, listen to your breath.

Listen to your heart.

He wants to win!He must win this game!
Opening his eyes again, tearing off the training suit, LeBron James' eyes seemed to be shining like stars...

The Celtics players appeared on the stage amidst fierce cheers, and all the players looked much calmer than in the first game.

They are no longer the rookies they were at the beginning of the season.

Grow from bloody fights, and develop aura from victory.All the current Celtics players, especially rookies and young people, have completely different temperaments.

It's too early to say the champion temperament, but they already have the self-confidence of the strong.

Now any young Celtics will be snapped up by other teams. Some of them can be used as the cornerstone of the team. Even if they can't be the cornerstone of the team, they can definitely be alone.

Jianghu and James looked at each other again.

The fighting spirit of the two is equally high.

"The loss to you in the first game was just an accident."

"This game will let you understand the gap between you and me."

James' eyes were aggressive.

And Jianghu's eyes are as calm as the sea, without any other meaning.

There is only one feeling brought to James!
You want to fight!Then fight! !

Fight a great battle!

Fight in the dark!

There is no distraction in Jiang Hu's eyes except for the fighting spirit. This is the first time James has seen such pure eyes.

"Then have a good fight."

The corners of James' mouth rose slightly, as if he had regained the desire for basketball and victory when he was young.

If someone told him to leave the basketball court right now, he'd kick it.Whoever stops Laozi is Laozi's enemy and will be crawled by Laozi.

................................................

"beep."

Accompanied by a whistle.

Game start!
The main referee of G2 is still Tony Brothers. Both sides are quite satisfied with the penalty call in the first game, and Xiao Hua is also very satisfied.

He controlled the situation on the scene, and the physical contact between the two sides was controlled within a controllable range.

It has to be said that although he blows the whistle very biasedly when he is on a mission, but when he is fair, the scale of his blowing is also quite fair.

The Tony brothers threw the ball high above the arena, and Horford pointed the ball at Irving amidst the tsunami of fans at the North Shore Garden Arena.

The Celtics win the jump ball again!

Irving advanced with the ball, and after halftime, Hill immediately surrounded and suppressed him.

Owen passed to Jianghu, and the person in front of Jianghu became Thompson.

"?? You changed today? Where's LeBron?"

Jianghu has a relaxed face, and the basketball shuttles back and forth in his hands, like a cheerful elf.

"It's not the big brother's turn to defend you, I'll take care of you in this game."

Thompson was in a low voice, he took a step back and kept a defensive distance that could react in time whether it was a breakthrough or a shot.

Jianghu ignored Thompson at all, and looked provocatively at the emperor of Cleveland-LeBron James.

Don't dare to fight?

James rolled his eyes back, didn't you let Irving defend me in the last game?Do you want to be provocative?
And Thompson couldn't help but feel a little angry when he looked at Jianghu and James who were "eye-catching".

Damn it when I don't exist?
But Thompson really didn't dare to press too hard. The lessons from the last game are still vivid in his memory. Don't talk about himself, even if James' defense is too large, he will be wiped out by Jianghu with various tricks.

The Celtics took the first ball and played steadily.

Baynes sat under the basket and lobped the ball.

Catch the ball firmly, hold the basketball high, and look around.

Changed, the Cavaliers' defense has changed.

The outside players didn't rotate, they gave up the infinite pinch assist defense... Baines was a little surprised, but at the same time had a kind of crazy joy.

what!
Finally it's my turn to perform!

The soy sauce played almost the entire game in the first game, which can be regarded as suffocating Baines. Although he won the game, he didn't make any major contributions, so he was still a little unhappy.

Baynes is actually a point of threat to the Cavaliers. If his impact is fully released, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to effectively defend the fragile basket guarded by Love.

It is impossible for Thompson to concentrate on defending Baynes, because he needs to defend the rivers and lakes, and also take care of the team's defense, check for gaps everywhere, the Cavaliers' defensive system, all double-teams and rotations revolve around Thompson and James. very important link.

In the first game, the Celtics obviously cracked this system, using the passing and mobilization of the ball, as well as the extraordinary individual combat capabilities of Jianghu and Irving to break the Cavaliers' infinite double-team rotation.

Tyronn Lue is notorious for his general changes on the court and his lack of cleverness on the spot, but he still did a lot of homework off the court. Before the Eastern Conference Finals, he tailored several systems for the Celtics. .

Now it is a completely different defensive strategy from the first game.

Love stands up to Baines!The outside players did not assist in the defense, but James took turns!
Although James' defense is not particularly active, his defense effect is definitely at a historical level.

Compared with other perimeter players, James knows more about the offensive rhythm of inside players and how to defend, because he often did this kind of thing during the Heat.

The question is whether Baynes can complete the offense when James goes to help defend.

The Cavaliers' outside players will not go inside this game. If Baynes is flanked, then Horford will be in a state of emptiness. If he hits the penalty area, James and Love will still have time to defend. , no one can defend.

Tyronn Lue is betting!
The bet is Horford's weakest mid-range shooting link!
If the bet wins, the Celtics' offense will be very difficult.

The rivers and lakes were defended by the outside line, the inside line was flanked, and the two strategic players in the game were almost surrounded by heavy siege.

It doesn't matter if Baynes feels good, just adjust the defensive strategy and it's over.Tyronn Lue really didn't believe that Baines could shoot the touch, and the more he shot, the more accurate he was to kill the Cavaliers.

Baynes singled Love, and he saw James' defense from the corner of his eye.

pass?Or attack?
Baynes instinctively stuffed the ball into the hands of Horford, who was empty in the middle distance.

Horford swallowed, looking at the basketball in his hand.

I'm the one to shoot the first ball?

After hesitating for a moment, he adjusted his posture and threw the ball.

"Boom!" Don't go in!
Love and James both blocked Baines, and Hill took off the rebound.

Tyronn Lue squeezed his fist.This bet won!

Hill fast forward!
James took a big stride and followed closely behind, rushing up like a bus out of control, almost unstoppable!
Hill threw the ball to James, and Jianghu tried to steal it, but it was unsuccessful.

James catches the ball, non-stop!Go straight to the Celtics basket.

Jaylen Brown stepped forward to defend!

James hit the ground and passed the ball, Jaylen Brown's feet stuffed the ball inside!
Hill catches the ball, throws the ball with his right hand to the backboard...

James took two big steps from the free throw line!
Catch the ball bouncing off the backboard in the air and dunk with one hand!
"Fast attack with flowing clouds and flowing water!"

"Here it comes! It's coming! The Cavaliers' defensive counterattack is coming, and LeBron James' iconic violent tomahawk dunk."

"Can't let the Cavaliers, let LeBron play excited, if the Cavaliers' fast break starts, I don't know how the Celtics will defend!"

James landed steadily, staring at Jianghu.

This - is just the beginning.

The Celtics still hit Baines with the second goal, and Baines still chose himself, but under Love's top defense and James' pincers, the basketball slipped out of the basket!

Fight back again!

Love tosses the ball high into the sky and James catches it in the air.The feet seem to be in the clouds, stepping in the air, swinging the ball with both hands, and dunking with a big windmill with both hands!
Come on!

Horford serves from the sideline.

James steals directly from behind!

Hit the basket!

6: 0!

The Celtics request a timeout!

Senseless!

The Celtics were stunned at the start!

"This is the strength of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the three-time Eastern Conference champion."

"It's too strong. If the Celtics can't adapt to the defensive strength of the Cavaliers, then they may be boarded for four consecutive games."

"James played so excitedly in this game. I have seen him play old ball slowly in the past two years! Now James has the feeling of being young and fast on the court again."

"The players of the Cavaliers were irritated by the Celtics, and the performance in this game was completely different from the last game."

"Revenge! This is definitely the king's revenge! The last game was just a coincidence, and the Cavaliers will educate the young Celtics well."

"The Cavaliers in the opening game were very energetic. The key point for the Celtics to win the last game was youthful vitality! But in the first few minutes, the Cavaliers looked more like a young team."

The Celtics' bench was a little confused, and they seemed to be poured cold water on them who were full of confidence.

Owen's face was very ugly.

With a stinky face, strangers are not allowed to enter.

Baynes rubbed his hands. Not only did he fail to score in offense just now, but he also couldn't run back in defense at all. It was too uncomfortable.

The fast pace of the Cavaliers made him too uncomfortable.

Stevens frowned, he hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet.

He is still struggling, does he want Horford to continue shooting?Or replace it with a mobile insider like Morris...

Although James' defense with Morris Jr. will be restrained, rebounding is hard to say.

Thompson averaged 9.5 rebounds per game this season, still playing 28.9 minutes per game
Stevens ultimately decided to keep the lineup the same.

So the first quarter ended, the Celtics 18:29 the Cavaliers.

Jianghu scored 11 points, and one person scored more than half of the team's points.

The Cavaliers shot nearly 6% of their shots with an epic defensive counterattack. James scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the first quarter.
