Chapter 1,000 Begins
The Spurs and Cavaliers entered separately, and of course, the Spurs players didn't get much applause here.
Well, there won't be too many boos, after all, these people haven't done anything about Cleveland, and they don't feel like they're the public enemy of the whole city yet.
The feeling when the knight royal legion entered was really the kind of attention, the quick loan center looked like it had become a royal palace in an instant, and when James came out, it was really like the emperor going to court, and he almost didn't kneel and bow.
"It's really a sass." Compared with the coldness of their own team when they were introduced by the DJ, the current situation of the Cavaliers is really hot, especially James's signature "dusting the sky" action, which looks very eye-catching under the special lighting and music of the Quick Loan Center.
"No way, who made the family a King~" Qin Yan scolded James every day.
"Why do you always think you're being mocking people when you're talking about his nickname?"
Green beside him looked studious.
"Hmm...... Danny, you definitely misheard, I was indeed complimenting him. Qin Yan cheekily refused to admit it.
"Okay, you actually publicly praise your opponent, coach, I report, Qin wants to be a second or fifth boy! Remove his starter and let me go! ”
"Okay, Danny, I treat you as a brother, you actually dig a pit for me to jump, I'm poisoning milk, do you know poisoned milk? ……”
The fight between these two people offset the discomfort brought to the team by the atmosphere of the scene, well, to be honest, there is actually no discomfort, except for Jokic and Anderson, the two rookies, the Spurs are all veterans, and playing away is almost like eating and drinking.
"Don't be nervous, the finals are nothing." Ginobili held two rookies in one hand to relax them, these two guys were more nervous today than when they were in the West Finals, and they almost walked hand and foot.
"Manu, this is the finals, we didn't play well for the first time...... Jokic felt that the big brother was a little standing and talking without back pain, this kind of big scene was even more powerful than the Western Finals, as a rookie, it was already very good to have no weak legs.
"yes, yes, we're playing the finals for the first time." Anderson also agreed.
"You don't learn from Qin hard, he played LeBron and Dwyane head-on in the first Finals that year."
"We're not his perverted ......"
"Tim, Qin, we're meeting again."
James brought Owen over to say hello, of course, he came over to greet him with a more domineering attitude.
"Tsk, looks like you've been doing a good job lately." Qin Yan looked James up and down, and then pretended to be polite, they were all old acquaintances, although the relationship was not particularly good, but there was no irresolvable contradiction like "the revenge of the wife".
"Well, just wait, I'm not going to lose to you this year because I have the best teammates."
James looked proud and patted Owen on the shoulder to show that this guy was the best teammate I was talking about.
After the spurs were finished, he turned around and left, not giving Qin Yan a chance to fight back at all, it seemed that after being defeated by the Spurs for two consecutive years, James finally had enough confidence in a single quarter.
Well, the regular season was tied 1:1 on both sides, with the Spurs winning the first game and the Cavaliers winning the second game.
But, after all, the Spurs often let out water during the regular season, so the team's fighting power can't be measured entirely by their performance at that time.
"Okay, I'll see you on the field later."
……
"Starting tonight, Hassan, Thiem, Kawai, Qin and Toney, try the Cavaliers' offensive form first, and then you can just improvise."
"Understood." The five people nodded to understand that it was not the first time they had played in the finals, so they were not in a hurry at all.
The Spurs five-man team came on, and the Cavaliers' starting Rangers also appeared, with James leading Irving, Love, Monroe and Redick.
After a season of running-in, the Cavaliers' Royal Guards are no longer the first time they played against the Spurs, and the tactics and tacit understanding are completely different.
Monroe and Whiteside go to the middle circle and they prepare to jump the ball.
Monroe has performed very well under James this year, although it is said that he has not become a 20+10 level existence, but he is also a qualified 15+10 insider.
In particular, he averaged 10.6 rebounds per game, which gave James a lot of support.
Coupled with Love's average of 11 rebounds per game this year, the Cavaliers' starting interior duo's rim protection ability this year is really much higher than that of the former Heat interior line.
And the outside line of the Cavaliers, the degree of luxury is not lost to the original Heat, Irving is a point guard with excellent offensive ability, Redick is a marksman, and James, the current No. 1 in the league, is so luxurious that it can't be more luxurious.
"Tick-"
The referee blows the whistle and throws the ball high into the air.
"Drink!"
"Up!"
Two big men rose from the ground and stretched out their hands to shoot the basketball at the same time.
"Smack!"
Somewhat surprisingly, this time the jump ball, Whiteside actually lost to Monroe!
Yes, just lost to Monroe, who was just a little bit faster than Whiteside.
Owen got the ball and he was going to do it himself.
That's right, the current Cavaliers James is indeed the first ball handler, but Irving, as the starting point guard, still has the right to hold the ball, plus James treats him as a little brother and is willing to cultivate him, so sometimes Irving will not say much if James is willful.
No, Owen, who originally didn't have a special nickname, after James came back, he had the nickname of "Little Prince", especially the knights fans of the Great Celestial Empire, who really felt that Owen was the prince.
Oh, there is more than one prince of the Cavaliers, and there is also a "Eight Sages King" TT Thompson who averages 8+8 per game on the bench!
Parker is really old, watching Owen play tricks in front of him, and then trying to use speed to eat his own expression, the old sports car is so angry in his heart, if he is 10 years younger, no, 5 years old, Owen dares to play with him like this? Do you really think that the nickname of the French sports car was given away for nothing? Do you really think that the number one hit rate in the interior line was blown out that year?
But now there is no choice but to watch Owen pass by himself, and he can't foul so early.
Whiteside and Duncan didn't expect Parker to be broken through so quickly, and by the time Irving got to the paint, they were even in the inside card position with the Cavaliers, and they didn't react at all.
"Uhhh
Irving scored the ball with an easy layup, and it was too easy to score.
"Fight back, fight back."
Parker summoned his men to prepare for a counterattack, he dribbled the ball unhurriedly towards Owen, the trouble was just the first ball to bully the old man, and the young people really don't know what it means to respect the old and love the young.
On the other side, James quickly blocked in front of Qin Yan, and stood close to him, blocking his way.
Whether he admits it or not, Qin Yan is the most threatening person on the court now, at least, James knows that he may not be able to get the data of 88 points in a single game.
"Qin, don't even think about breaking away from my defense until the end of the game today!"
", I don't like to be so close to men......"
"I'm talking to you very seriously!" There is already a black line on James's forehead, nonsense, I don't like to be so close to a man either!
"You talk too much" Qin Yan did not continue to be poor, but seriously responded to James's battle post, "Tonight, just have a good fight." ”
