One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 776: : Honor of Cleveland

In the finals, it was originally a contest between James and Irving and Yiyang and Wade, but now it seems to be James against the Mavericks led by Yiyang.

In the first game of the finals, the Cavaliers played mediocrely. Although Irving scored 23 points, his efficiency was average. James scored 44 points alone, but they still lost to the Mavericks. The Cavaliers had only one substitute player, Smith scored. In the first game, the Cavaliers simply lost.

Before the start of the game, Blatter came up with the trick to play a small lineup. In fantasy, everything is very beautiful. Tristan's super defensive change limited the opponent's play, James used his physical advantage to blast Dirk, and then ignored Iguodala to score. Delavidova locked Yiyang, Owen freed himself to help James take away the victory...

However, what is happening now is far from what Blatter imagined. Irving couldn't get rid of it, and Dravidova couldn't lock Yiyang, at best, it was just for Yiyang to spend more effort. James did not blast Dirk, but was defended by Iguodala and made only 11 of 35 shots. As for Tristan, his force in assisting defense did not play much at all. Instead, he was weak in protecting the frame, and the Mavericks grabbed a lot of balls.

Even so, Blatter still hopes that things can turn around. He has James, the greatest player in the world! He has the power to turn decay into a miracle. In the case of Love's injury, he led his team to the Eastern Conference Finals. In the case of Irving also injured two games, he still led his team to sweep the Eagles 4-0.

Now, Blatter expects James to create another miracle. But this NBA rookie coach must have never heard a word. "In the U.S. Route Center Arena, no miracles will happen!"

Thus, there was that cold-blooded three-pointer that was almost merciless. Yiyang knew that after that three-pointer was made, the Cavaliers were almost dead. But there was still no expression on his face, as if the life and death of the Cavaliers could not touch Yiyang's heart.

In the Wood District, Yiyang knows a truth, never show mercy to your enemies. If you turn the situation around, James scored the three-pointer that represented the end of the game. He can't just be expressionless, but he will definitely make some exaggerated celebrations.

Comparing these two reactions, who is more cold-blooded?

25 minutes, three minutes. Let alone three minutes, you just give the Cavaliers a full quarter, and they may not get 25 points. Blatter replaced all the main players. He was full of expectations for this game. He also counted on himself like Cole, relying on the five small lineups to cross the league.

Kerr led the Warriors to the Western Conference Finals when he became an NBA coach for the first time, and Blatter was about to lead the NBA to win the championship for the first time! After all, that summer a year ago, Cole was even one of the candidates for Blatter's assistant coach!

But the cruel facts made Blatter discouraged, the championship? No, he is even ready to roll back to Europe this summer. Blatter may not be able to get the sky-high remuneration of US$10 million in those three years.

Looking at the NBA players and coaches are multimillionaires, many people will envy them. But this money is not something you can get casually.

Seeing that Blatter had removed all the main players, Carlisle also gave face, replaced the top five, and even the bench tried to choose those who did not often play, and even let Marion, who hadn't appeared for a long time, played two hands.

Before the end of the game, James left the court early with his head down. You don't know if he is disappointed in himself or disappointed in this team. Originally leaving the Heat and returning to his hometown, James' biggest motivation was to hold a group to fight Yiyang. But now, even this trick of holding a group is not easy to use...

120 to 109, in the second game of the finals, the point difference was rounded to double digits. Moreover, it was still in the last few minutes when the Mavericks almost played the third team.

The Cavaliers lost only 9 points in the last game, and they still have an excuse to comfort themselves. But today, facing the almost perfect defense of the Mavericks, everyone knows that no one can stop the cowboys headed by Yiyang from completing the defense!

2-0, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost all two away games, and they will return to Cleveland with a huge disadvantage. If the situation does not change, James will have to watch the opponent win the O'Brien Cup at home for the second year in a row.

The Dallas Mavericks will become the third team to win consecutive championships in the 21st century after the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat!

Some people even say that the dynasty belonging to the Yihe Mavericks is coming soon!

※※※

Cleveland, if it weren't for LeBron James, maybe the city would not be known at all.

Dilapidated houses, graffiti everywhere, and a few streets in the city center, the first impression of Cleveland can indeed be described as shabby. If according to Chinese standards, Cleveland should belong to the third and fourth tier cities.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics, the population of Cleveland in 2015 was approximately 385,000, which is barely ranked in the top 50 in the United States. If you drive out from downtown Cleveland, you will enter another city in about ten minutes. For reference, the Oakland area of ​​San Francisco, where the Warriors are located, has a population of approximately 4.6 million.

In economics, there is a special name for this kind of city that was once glorious but is now declining-Rust Belt City.

Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Buffalo and other cities, after the aura of industrial towns ceased to exist, the entire city became rusty. With fewer and fewer job opportunities and an increasing number of unemployed people, these cities are eagerly looking for their next exit.

Fortunately, Cleveland has found their export, that is the sports industry! With the help of LeBron James' return, telling a moving story of "going home" to Cleveland people who had to leave home because of the unsatisfactory development of the city will undoubtedly attract a large number of wanderers to return. The brand effect of the whole city is also continuously improved because of the sports industry.

When people ask about Cleveland, there are usually three things: Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, which is the top three symphony orchestras in the world. Cleveland Hospital, one of the best medical institutions in the world. There is also the Cleveland Cavaliers. Why are they the Cleveland Cavaliers? Because they have LeBron James, he is an international part.

A very intuitive data is that if the Cavaliers play two finals at home, the restaurants near the arena can earn two more months! Therefore, James' popularity in Cleveland is not unreasonable. He is not only a symbol of this city, but also the "God of Wealth" of Cleveland people!

James has brought countless benefits to the city of Cleveland, but there is one thing that James has not been able to bring to Cleveland until now. No, not the O'Brien Cup, this goal seems too big for the current Cavaliers. The Clevelandans now only hope that James can give the Cleveland Cavaliers a victory in the first NBA Finals!

James' rhetoric is still the same: records are used to be broken.

James said the same when the Heat were beaten 3-0 last season. As a result, after the fourth game, he left Miami.

So for James's remarks, fans are not convinced. Some media even joked that James is already discussing with the manager about joining the Dallas Mavericks.

In everyone's eyes, the Cleveland Cavaliers are dead. In two more games, the Dallas Mavericks will win the O'Brien Cup.

But when the third quarter of Game 3 of the NBA Finals ended on June 9th with Mozgov's dunk, the Cavaliers played a 15-2 offensive climax. James and his teammates, with a 20-point lead, entered the final quarter of the contest!

"This is the Cavaliers' counterattack! They vowed to reverse the situation in Cleveland!" Kenny Smith thought that today's game only took two quarters, and he could start chatting. But unexpectedly, the Cavaliers played so well in the first half of the game!

James and Owen felt hot and hit the three-point line frequently. The Mavericks have fallen into an offensive bottleneck. Even Yiyang's shooting percentage in the first three quarters was only 33%. 33%, this hit rate may be commonplace for other guards. But for people like Yiyang who would criticize their poor performance when their hit rate is less than 45%, the 33% hit rate is almost unbelievable!

20 minutes gap, 12 minutes time. Even in this era when there are more and more three-pointers, the 20-point difference is definitely a gap that is very difficult to catch up.

But after the end, Yiyang was not in a hurry. His emotions infected his teammates, watching Yiyang still feel confident, and others will feel more at ease.

"Rick, I want to increase the number of individual singles in the second half." Yiyang did not speak to the coach in a commanding tone like James, and Yiyang's request was more often discussed with Carlisle.

Claire agreed to Yiyang's proposal without even thinking about it. If anyone else can turn decay into magic, this person is definitely not Carlisle, but Yiyang!

So after the start of the fourth quarter, Yiyang started a personal offensive mode. Throughout the finals, the Mavericks played team basketball. Because of the Cavaliers' performance in the first two games, Yiyang didn't need Yiyang to carry the task of scoring, and the opponent fell.

But today, the Cavaliers are in excellent condition after returning to the home court, and the game has become tricky. As the team leader, Yiyang must stand up and solve the trouble!

Therefore, Cleveland fans saw Yiyang hit a three-pointer as soon as it came up. After that, Yiyang took out all the things in his arsenal.

Dazzlingly extraordinary, three-pointers, sudden stop jumpers, pull rod breakthroughs, forced dunks...Yiyang made consecutive hits. Once, under the blockade of James and Tristan, it was still The layup succeeded.

This guy, like other superstars, once runaway, no one can stop him.

When the game was about to end with 2 minutes and 45 seconds, Yiyang received a three-pointer from Iguodala and the Mavericks trailed only 80-81. Seeing that the game was about to be turned over, James did not agree that things would end like this.

The honor of Cleveland is guarded by him! Records are used to be broken, this time, James is not just talking about it!

At the critical moment, Irving, who had been mediocre in the first two games, stepped forward. Under Yiyang's strict defense, he made a magical hit in the middle distance and caused a foul. He even scored 3 points with penalty! After that, Yiyang was forced to make a pass error. After James steals, he sprints to the forward field. When there is one step away from the three-point line, he makes a three-pointer and makes a long shot!

Today, in order to save energy, James began to try more shooting to solve the problem. However, today, James’s hand feels really hot~www.novelmtl.com~ From beyond the three-point line, he has taken 7 shots and has already hit 4 goals. With the efforts of Irving and James, the Cavaliers held their position 87-80 with 1 minute and 44 seconds left in the game!

"Tough resistance, the Cavaliers did not turn the game over! I have to admit that the performance in this quarter is already phenomenal! But unfortunately, LeBron and Irving played their level!"

This game made all the fans in the Quicken Loans Arena cheered and excited. I thought that the entire series was about to end like this, I thought that the O'Brien Cup was about to be picked by others. But now, there has been a turning point in the finals!

The Cavaliers still led by 14 points until only 43 seconds were left in the game! The Clevelands are boiling, they are ready for the first victory in the history of the Cavaliers Finals! And James, also officially sounded the horn to break the curse!

If the Mavericks are behind 2-0, they will definitely lose, James doesn't believe it!

Everyone thought that the game was over, but the only one still said a word to Carlisle.

"Give me all the **** for the last 43 seconds!"
