Chapter 108: Touts and Signs
The margin widened again to twenty points, and in such a way that people were speechless.
The Hawks' defense was very, very good enough to say that it would be impossible to maintain that defensive intensity in the future, but even so, the Cavaliers still scored.
What's more, James and Mo Williams haven't played yet, and the margin is still widening.
The momentum of the Eagles dissipated after this wave.
Joe Johnson is still on the ball and is looking to salvage the situation.
The next ball, the Hawks were hit by Johnson, but it didn't matter the overall situation, the Cavaliers attacked, after Qin Yang hit the iron, Ben Wallace was strong to the rebound and then passed to Qin Yang, Qin Yang passed to Vallejo to hit.
The Eagles' defense has loosened a bit.
It's not something that one person can make up for.
The margin has not narrowed, but has continued in a relatively calm manner.
The third quarter ended shortly afterwards.
In this quarter, Qin Yang's all-around data of 11 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals led the team to victory, and James went off the court in the sixth minute and got a six-minute break.
The Eagles were obviously not in the best state of mind after a tie-break, and they did not stick to it in this fierce battle.
When the third quarter is over, the game is over.
When he got off the field, Qin Yang and his teammates high-fived and celebrated, and every teammate was very happy.
Pavlovic played well in the quarter, shooting 3-of-5 for six points and two rebounds, and did his best on the defensive end, hitting two shots but playing well overall.
Vallejo was 2-of-2, although he only had a mid-range, but he fought the defensive end, and a crucial pass received a lot of applause.
A lot of commentators have praised Vallejo's high ball intelligence.
In fact, if Vallejo didn't come to pick up, Qin Yang's only option was to go it alone, relying on his speed and bounce to force a three-point shot.
Valejo's combination wasn't wonderful, but it was crucial.
The Cavaliers' players who played in the third and third quarters played very well, and even Daniel Gibson, who was the last to play, hit a three-pointer.
"Great job!"
Off the court, James and all the players high-fived and celebrated, and when they arrived at Qin Yang, James stepped forward to hug and celebrate.
It's a treat that no one else has.
Qin Yang understood what this meant, but he didn't refuse.
When the team boss shows you goodwill, you actually refuse, this is to make yourself uncomfortable, even if you will leave next season, at this time in the playoffs, the only option is to accept James's kindness and continue to play.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, James came on the court, and the Cavaliers won safely.
In this game, James played 36 minutes, shot 12 of 20, got 34 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and had 4 steals.
This statistic is the best in the field.
Qin Yang played 29 minutes, shooting 7-of-16 from the field, 5-of-9 from three-point range, and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, scoring 22 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.
Mo Williams 16 points, Delonte West 12 points, Pavlovic 6 points, Vallejo 9 points, and the Cavaliers role players all scored.
The Cavaliers won the first game.
After the game, everyone began to frantically praise James.
TNT News:
"It was a James-style victory, playing less than forty minutes, and against the mighty Hawks, the Cavaliers won under James' leadership. James is on the path to transcending greatness. This season is the closest the Cavaliers have ever come to a championship. ”
The Cleveland Honest Guy:
In less than 40 minutes of play, James once again scored 34 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals, and his all-around performance on both offensive and defensive ends was praised. This season, the Cavaliers need the support of all Clevelands, all of whom are looking forward to Cleveland's first championship in 50 years. ”
Cleveland is a bit miserable.
Fox News:
"In the second game of the NBA playoffs, the Cavaliers opened the score in the first game with three quarters, and James proved himself with super strength. This season's playoffs are 23 and 24 matchups. ”
The NBA league official did not say anything about it.
In fact, 23vs24, the league has been arguing for two years, but the Cavaliers are really not strong, they will be abused every time in the Eastern Conference Finals, don't want to be abused by the Celtics last year, and meet the Magic team again this year, looking at the performance of the regular season, this round of the series is enough.
Therefore, before the Eastern Conference Finals were decided, the league did not tout the 23rd and 24th matchups.
What does it mean in case the Eastern Cavaliers play the Magic and the league touts James and Kobe Bryant in the finals before the game is played?
Booked this year's Eastern Conference champion in advance?
This is a naked black curtain!
But no matter who the Cavaliers face in the Eastern Conference Finals, it's certain that the Cavaliers will get some preferential treatment. This is a naked fact on the inside.
After Game 1, the Cavaliers were a little more relaxed.
In this round of the series, the Cavaliers have too much advantage.
The Hawks fought seven games and were exhausted, and the Cavaliers were waiting for work at ease, and with each other refraining, there was no suspense that the Cavaliers would win.
Even so, the Cavaliers were not careless.
"It's going to be harder and harder to play, against the Hawks, try to settle the battle in four games, the shorter the time is the better for us, and the Celtics vs. Magic game won't end so quickly."
James set the tone within the team to win the game as soon as possible.
If four games can't work, then it can't be more than five, and only then will the Cavaliers have plenty of time to deal with the next opponents.
The next opponent is most likely the Magic.
Qin Yang had expected that this series would be very good, but he didn't expect it to be even better than he imagined, because in the first game, the Eagles' Al Horford was injured and would miss the next game.
Al Horford was last year's No. 3 rookie, and although he was only two years with the Hawks, this season, Al Horford has already squeezed Zazapachulia off the bench.
You must know that Zaza is now at his peak, with an average of 10+10 data per game, and his offense and defense are above the league's qualified line, which shows how powerful Al Horford is.
Al Horford's more Qinyang feel is an offensive weakened version of Nowitzki.
Of course, Nowitzki's greatest strength is offense, and as a projection power forward, Nowitzki defines the interior of basketball.
Al Horford, although an offensive weakened version, is strong enough.
Can pass the ball, can defend, shoot accurately, such a big forward...... Qin Yang can only be said to be very strong, which is a bit similar to Kevin Garnett, when he is on the court, the data is not particularly good, but when he is not on the court, the effect is completely different.
In the second game, Al Horford did not play, and Zazapachulia started.
In this game, the Cavaliers played very unexpectedly.
