From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 213 The Great Game, Thanos Zhan Appears

"Fack!" Irving spat out a swear word with a cold face, and he was really aggrieved in the first quarter.

Being led by the nose by the Cavaliers from beginning to end, although Irving's own rhythm control ability is much better than that of ordinary point guards, he still can't suppress the rhythm under the tide of offensive and defensive transitions of the Cavaliers.

Mainly because the Celtics' shooting percentage in the first quarter was too low, which gave the Cavaliers a chance to counterattack.The reason for the Celtics' poor shooting is that the Cavaliers' defense hit the weakness of the Celtics' offense.

Horford was 5 for 1 and Jaylen Brown was 3 for 1. These two players were cleared.

It is understandable that Jaylen Brown made only 3 of 1 three-pointers. After all, it was LeBron James who defended him. Although James' defense against Jaylen Brown was obviously a grandpa defense today, he didn't contribute much.

But Jaylen Brown is obviously not ready yet, so James' defensive strength is enough.

Owen is 3 of 2, he is still being watched very tightly, and Hill is responsible for defending him.

The most critical point is Baynes. He distributed a large number of shots to Horford, and only took 2 shots in the first quarter.

"Fack, Aaron! You fucking fight yourself."

Horford got a little angry, what's the point of throwing the pot at me all the time, just force it not to stick to the pot?
"Xie Te, you fucking voted in! My grandma can vote in that empty seat!"

Baines was also convinced, and he also wanted to fight himself.But Love's height and weight can fully carry him for the first time, and James double-teams him in the second time. Under such circumstances, the shooting efficiency is too low.

The Jianghu helplessly raised their foreheads, this group of people looked unshaven, and they were more than 2 meters tall. I didn't expect that they were no different from children when they were childish...

With only 18 points in the first quarter, Jianghu scored more than half of the team's points.

Of course, Coach Stevens was not satisfied with this result.

Adjustments must be made. He replaced Morris Jr., who is better at peripheral shooting, and priority must be given to ensuring the fluency of the offense.

Failure to score in front of the Cavaliers, a team that is keen on counterattacks, means that they will be chased and counterattacked.

In the second quarter, the two sides began to start with substitutes.

In this game, the two sides did not use too many substitute lineups to play, and the temptation of both sides ended in the first game.

The Celtics sent a mixed lineup of Irving, Smart, Brown, Morris Jr., and Horford.

Irving's hand feeling is very good today, so Stevens simply asked him to play in the second team for a while and shoot a few more shots.

The Cavaliers replaced Clarkson, James, Korver, Jeff Green and Love.

"The iconic one-star four-shot lineup."

"LeBron James is still in the game, no rest!!"

"What? Impossible! He rarely leads the second team this season. Most of the time this task belongs to Clarkson, JR Smith, and even Hill."

"Change, this is Tyronn Lue's change again, I don't know how the Celtics will respond??"

Tyronn Lue smiled slightly, James gave up defense and devoted all his energy and physical fitness to offense.

How do you, Stevens, dismantle this move?
James, who scored 14 points in the first quarter, still has plenty of energy.He started military training with Jaylen Brown on the field and scored consecutively.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

James slammed into Jaylen Brown, knocked him off balance and fell to the ground, and then roared and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

That James who flew into the sky and escaped from the earth is back!

James played passionately, as if returning to the unstoppable super player of the Heat period.

"As I said, I only need to make a small shot to reach the limit of this segment!"

"That year, I had my hands in my pockets, and I didn't know what an opponent was."

After dunking, James was proud. Although he didn't speak, this should be the line in his heart.

Smart and Jaylen Brown took turns defending James, to no avail!

James doesn't play falsely, either the iconic tank breakthrough or the mid-range shot that ignores the defense!
Simple and comfortable, as if the emperor is walking in his own back garden.

"Damn."

Seeing this, Stevens hurriedly changed to Jianghu.

It's still useless, and James, who feels hot, can't be pinched when he comes on stage.

James is crazy. This is James in 2018. His body is still at its peak. His shooting skills and stability have also reached the extreme this year. Every year before that, he is improving, and every year after that He has been declining for years.

"Go in! Go in again!"

"LeBron James can easily complete the offense in the face of Jianghu's defense!"

"Fly Little Morris! LeBron scored two points with a step jumper!"

"For his size, this is a completely unsolvable offense!"

"This is a response to G1, LeBron is angry!!"

"Freehand! This man - LeBron James turned the heated Eastern Conference finals into his own show!
"James with a mid-range is an invincible man within the three-point line, and James with a three-pointer is an invincible man after halftime. This is the death that wants you to die at the third watch, and never keep anyone until the fifth watch. The Celtics are completely Can't stop him!"

The combination of Jianghu and Jaylen Brown can't stop James, who feels hot.

terror!
For the first time, Jianghu felt the same level as himself, and possibly even stronger scoring explosive power!

James always had a confident smile on his lips.

Enjoy the game!

Enjoy this moment!
Far away in Ohio, the Quicken Loans Center, home of the Cavaliers, was boiling.

The Cleveland Cavaliers fans in front of the TV were boiling.

"Back! The man is back!"

"Jiang, Carey, look clearly, this is LeBron's strength, he is a Thanos wearing gloves, he can destroy the world with a snap of his fingers!!"

"Tremble! This LeBron James is invincible!"

After replacing Morris Jr., the Celtics' offense was much smoother, but compared to James who entered the ZONE state, the Celtics were still at a disadvantage.

Jianghu's several offenses stopped the team from bleeding, but Thompson's dog-skin plaster-like sticky defense still greatly reduced the number of Jianghu's shots.

Thompson's constant entanglement, coupled with other people's help in defense from time to time, the production rate of Jianghu is much lower than that of James.

James scored 9 of 8 in the second quarter and scored 20 points crazy!
半场19中14半场拿下34分4篮板1助攻1抢断1失误！

Perfect performance!
"Thanos, has come to the world."

"Damn it, after so many years, God is playing with the number 23 again."

"The Celtics hang."

At halftime, the Celtics 49:62 the Cavaliers.

13 points difference!

江湖半场12中8，拿下20分2篮板4助政2抢断1盖帽3失误。

It's equally good, but it's slightly inferior to the mythical and epic LeBron James in this game.

And the ratio of mistakes in Jianghu is not low!Horford and Brown couldn't make a shot, and Irving was also flanked. His teammates couldn't share too much offensive pressure.

Thompson plus Hill plus James, this perimeter blockade is absolutely historic, and Jiang Hu has to pay the price if he wants to challenge this combination!
Irving had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the half, quite satisfactory, and did not play the same dominance as in the previous game.He was annoyed by Hill and fouled when he couldn't guard against it.

"The Warriors led by this point at halftime, and it will be difficult for the Celtics to come back."

Walton also watched the somewhat sluggish Lakers players.

"In the second half, Terry (Rozier), Marcus (Smart), Kyrie, Jalen, Jiang, five of you start"

"We fought against them."

This is the Celtics' small lineup, everyone has super three-point ability and fast break awareness.

This is a lineup that the Celtics rarely use in the regular season, but it works well!
A lineup that almost gave up defense and went all out to attack!
Stevens has to give it a go and continue to follow the rhythm of the Cavaliers, which is equivalent to boiling frogs in warm water, which eventually led to the failure of this game.

And with this seemingly nonsensical suicide lineup, there is still a chance for a comeback!

Being behind by 13 points is not terrible. This lineup can get back after half a quarter of the game.

"Understood, coach."

Jiang Hu nodded, this may be the easiest way to turn the game around.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

"34 points in the half of the Eastern Conference finals, please enjoy LeBron's performance carefully!"

"Great player, great performance. Wonder what mentality his opponents have at the moment?"

"Young teams are easy to collapse to the end. The playoffs have not experienced such a predicament. I hope he can stand up and fight back. After all, the future of the NBA still belongs to young people like them. "

"Change! The Celtics changed in the second half!"

"Coach Steven's small lineup is here! Their strongest offensive system! This system has a very high scoring efficiency in the regular season. It appeared in 101 minutes, with a defensive efficiency of 36 per 99.8 minutes, an offensive efficiency of 123.6, and a net efficiency of 23.8! "

"Facing a team with a strong inside lineup, the Celtics' lineup does not have much effect on them, but it is not necessarily the case against the Cavaliers now."

"If Jianghu singles out Thompson, everyone knows what the result will be! As long as Jianghu has enough space, the Cavaliers' inside line will be destroyed!"

The second half began quickly, and the Celtics adjusted their lineup, which soon attracted a burst of exclamation.

The killer is here!

Stevens' lineup is a killer move at critical moments!
The Cavaliers have the ball, and for the first ball, Hill handed it to James to be on the safe side.

James singled out Jaylen Brown with his back, turned and swayed continuously, then leaned back, drifting and throwing the ball.

His touch is still hot!

"I'm afraid LeBron will break his personal scoring record in this game. He will definitely not be able to score more than 40 points."

"It's not necessarily true, maybe the Celtics can't last until he breaks the record."

The rivers and lakes advance with the ball!

Resolute, persevering!
never give up!

Even if my opponent seems to be Thanos walking in the world, even if the current score is already 15 points behind.

But Jiang Hu has never been discouraged. Never giving up is his style of play. It is his belief to get up from the abyss and continue to move towards the top.

"It's moving!"

With the ball in Jianghu, Smart rushed into the penalty area with his strong limbs!
And the other three outside shooters crossed positions like butterflies wearing flowers.The originally rigid tactical movement of the starting lineup is now smooth in an instant.

"Don't dare to double-team! Now the Cavaliers dare not let anyone go!"

"Jianghu one-on-one! Jianghu finally uses the offensive space to complete one-on-one."

"A tentative step, then swayed Thompson to the basket! LeBron finally couldn't bear to help defend!"

"Jianghu hits the ball in an instant!"

"Kyrie from the outside line! Received the ball steadily! He shot without stopping the ball."

"Three-point hit! Soft touch, the Celtics' offensive space in this lineup is too comfortable."

"Everyone is running, everyone can act as an end point, and there are natural opportunity creators like Jianghu."

"They are definitely not a perfect offensive system, but the effect of this system, even in history, it is difficult to find a lineup that can match it."

"Unless someone can single-handedly defend Irving and at the same time help defend. Adding a player who can single-handedly defend Jianghu, this system will be contained, otherwise the offense of this system will be unsolvable!"

"The strongest offensive system VS the strongest offensive player!"

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! I thought G1 was the ceiling of basketball, and the next game would not be so good, but now it seems that the wonderful thing is still to come! The Cavaliers and Celtics coaches still have something in their minds !"

Mutual exchange!

Korver made a three-pointer.

James quickly used the pick-and-roll again, cut to the basket, and completed the attack with a super large pull!

Jianghu catches the ball at the basket, no one helps to defend, hits Thompson, and dunks with one hand!

James catches the ball from mid-range and shoots, turns over and leans back, and then goes in!

Jianghu swayed Thompson to the basket, CROSSOVER swayed Hill, and then dunked with one hand!

James caught the ball from the three-point line and tried to make a three-point threat. Jaylen Brown retreated directly and continuously.

"Three points! LeBron even hit a three-pointer!"

"ZONE! LeBron James is hot! No misses in the third quarter! 4 for 4."

"The Celtics with a small lineup also made all the hits! My God, what level of game are we watching, their defensive range is amazing!"

"Although their defense is excellent, it is nothing compared to their offense. In history, there are many defensive teams at the level of the Celtics and Cavaliers, but the offense is so strong under high-pressure defense. Very rare."

"What's even more terrifying is that the Celtics' offense relies on the efforts of the whole team! They have a bunch of top offensive players, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, this game is almost entirely dependent on LeBron James alone!"

"The title of emperor is not called for nothing! In this game, he almost beat the entire Celtics offensive system by himself. He is using his best to prove that he will never forget his original intention, the kid from Akron. "

"Will this game be LeBron's real battle of proof?"

"If he can score high points and lead the team to victory, he will prove once again that he is still the strongest player in this league!!"

Players on both sides have fallen into madness.

Crazy onslaught!
Crazy defense!
In addition to these two thoughts in my mind, there is nothing else!
Both Jianghu and Irving have their visions fully open, threading the needle to make the Celtics' strongest offensive system go far!

James is riding a thousand horses, ignoring the defense, and hitting consecutive shots like a shooting practice.

Love also dreams of returning to the pinnacle of the Timberwolves and occupying the penalty area!A pillar of the sky, grabbing rebounds violently.

Under the strong interference of the Celtics, Hill still steadily delivered every bullet to James' hands.

From 4 of 4 to 5 of 5!

7 out of 7!
The Celtics and Cavaliers hit all the first 9 offenses in the third quarter!
With Smart's three-pointer missed the basket!This epic myth-level confrontation performance was broken.

Less than half the game time!

The Celtics scored 19 points!
The Cleveland Cavaliers scored 17 points!
all hit!The shooting rate of the two sides so far in the third quarter is 100%!

Not a single miss.

"It seems that we still have a long way to go if we want to catch up with American basketball."

The coach of the Spanish national team in front of the TV sighed deeply.

"Too strong. How can this kind of team exist!? Their basketball and our basketball are two different sports!"

In the stadium in Australia, a group of people sighed.

"It's time to launch the Ethnopolitical Project!"

The head coach of the Japanese national team clenched his fists. Is Japan's century-old basketball plan about to start? ?
At the peak, the confrontation between James and the Celtics in this half of the game was gorgeous and explosive.

This is the pinnacle of basketball, glamorous! !
"That's the basketball I want."

Xiao Hua took a deep breath, even he was shocked by the confrontation in this half quarter.

"So, so, so great and wonderful."

Xiao Hua's eyes were dull, and his whole body felt purified.

This game will definitely go down in the history books.

"Great, yes. It's a great game."

"Strong opponents, high-quality offense and defense, superstars, drama, star-to-star offense, he has all the characteristics of a great game!!"

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics 43:36 the Cavaliers in a single quarter.

That's right, 43 points in a single quarter of the playoffs!
As for the Cavaliers, James scored 18 points in a single quarter.

18 points in a single quarter in the playoffs.

Including the 20 points in the second quarter, James scored 38 points in two quarters.

"Exceeded, James surpassed his career scoring record in two quarters!"

"At the end of the three quarters, LeBron James has scored 52 points, breaking the curse that he has never played 50+ in the playoffs. He only needs to score another 8 points, and he can become Elgin Baylor, Michael Jordan, Jiang Hu After that, he became the fourth player with 60+ points in the playoffs in history."

"Today, perhaps we will witness the birth of greatness here. In the history of the league, there have been only 3 60+ times before. Jianghu is the only one in active service. LeBron is expected to become the second in active service and the fourth in history this night. Mr. 60+!!"
