The butterfly effect is that a butterfly in South America can trigger a hurricane in North America with a flick of its wings, expressing that a small change in things is likely to have a tenfold or even hundredfold effect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Durant's play in the series is the embodiment of this effect, and Tang Shuai's defense of Durant is also the same.

After four battles, the tournament seems to be back to where it started.

Durant tried to break through Don Shuai's defense again, but the result was still far from ideal, with only one of the four attempts successful, which made the Warriors' offense look extremely passive.

Without Durant's outburst, the Warriors slowly fell again, although Curry hit three three-pointers in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but after Tang Shuai came up, he quickly lost his fire.

Tang Shuai, who has a death wrapping bag, is faster than Leonard and has the strength to Artest, after the fans have seen Tang Shuai on the offensive end, in this game, they have seen a Tang Shuai who is like a defensive gate.

The Warriors couldn't find a new breakthrough for the rest of the game, and they were ultimately defeated.

102-118, the Warriors lost by as many as 16 points in the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

The biggest contributor to the victory in this game is obviously Tang Shuai, in addition to his stable output on the offensive end and contributed 20 points and 12 assists, the data of 8 rebounds, 6 steals and 2 blocks on the defensive end also let fans see his strength on the defensive end.

After the Warriors lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain, both their morale and confidence suffered a devastating blow, especially in this situation in front of them, in the face of such a buggy Tang Shuai, they could not find any point to break through.

Game 6 was played at the Staples Center, and the Warriors were demoralized and made mistakes amid boos from the home fans, and eventually lost by 20 points.

They lost the sixth game and also lost the series by a big score of 2-4.

After winning the regular season championship for three consecutive years, they all missed the Finals, which created the most tragic history in NBA history, even worse than the Jazz team led by the "Utah Twins".

When the final whistle blew in Game 6, the Lakers players were celebrating wildly, while the Warriors players were looking lost and confused.

It seems that no matter how hard they work or how they strengthen in the offseason, as long as Tang Shuai is there, they will not be able to enter the finals again.

At the press conference after the game, Curry was a little emotionally out of control on the spot, Durant was also choked up several times, and the four stars who were at their peak were unable to break into the finals for three or two consecutive years, which I don't know if it was a pity or self-inflicted.

However, for the performance of the Lakers, Curry still showed his generosity, he praised Tang Shuai as an incredible player, and admitted that he felt like he was facing Jordan, the god of basketball, and the Lakers were also eligible to enter the Finals.

Unlike the Warriors, who were filled with sadness, the Lakers were very excited after the game, and the players were celebrating with champagne and dancing in the locker room.

After eliminating the Warriors, the Lakers reached the Finals for the 33rd time in their history, and the second year in a row.

And unlike last year, this time the team's lineup is complete, this time there is Tang Shuai.

Because of the improvement of the team's roster, Tang Shuai and Kupchak said after the trade deadline that they don't have to fight for injuries to lead the team forward.

The division champion also had a trophy, and after the players celebrated in the locker room, they soon came out to receive the league trophy and jersey with the division champion logo.

As the players raised the trophy, the deafening cheers in the Staples Center arena seemed to overturn the entire arena.

Tang Shuai also seemed very excited, in the third year of his career, he could finally really play in the finals.

The Lakers' opponent in the Finals is the Cavaliers, who met their old rival Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, and unlike last year, the Cavaliers after Anthony were unusually strong, and they swept the opponent 4-0 in straight sets.

Although they won the Warriors, the Lakers really can't say that they have won the championship steadily, and it is difficult to predict who will win or lose in the face of the superior Cavaliers.

Due to the reduction in the number of games, the Finals schedule is no longer as tense as before, and the Lakers took a full three days off after Game 6 with the Warriors before getting on the plane to Cleveland.

The Cavaliers had a better regular season record than the Lakers, and they naturally gained home-court advantage.

On the one hand, the Cavaliers, who swept all the way and showed their superior strength, and on the other hand, the Lakers who defeated the Warriors with F4 to break into the finals, the attention attracted by this round of the finals is unprecedentedly high, especially this is a head-to-head competition between Tang Shuai, a potential league spokesperson, and James, the current league spokesperson, plus both sides are lineups led by the Big Three, which can be described as full of highlights.

Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue appeared confident before the game, and in an interview with reporters, he admitted that the goal of the Finals is to bring James a three-in-a-row championship.

There are very few three consecutive championships in the history of the league, only Jordan has done it twice in modern times, and no one else, even if it is as strong as the Spurs and Lakers, has failed to do it before.

James is already the undisputed No. 1 small forward in history, and he does need a triple championship now to prove his place in history.

It is precisely because of this belief that in the previous series, the Cavaliers were gods who blocked and killed Buddha, and swept all the way to the finals, and now the Lakers led by Tang Shuai are the last hurdles they need to cross.

In the pre-game interview, the reporter also asked if he defended the Lakers' Big Three offense, and Lu was still full of confidence, but he did not say how to defend, but threw a sentence to the reporter: "Why do we spend too much physical strength to make a perfect defense?" ”

Lue's answer fully reflects his self-confidence, and also reveals his response plan, he is not going to limit the Lakers' scoring, but is ready to score points with the Lakers.

Come to think of it, after getting Anthony, they averaged 120 points per game in the playoffs, which is a pretty scary statistic.

A devastating offense is what they are best at.

On the evening of June 3, U.S. time, the Cleveland Quick-Loan Arena, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people, was filled with a sea of red, and the fans' faces were filled with excitement.

At the opening ceremony before the game, the flames sprayed around the LED screen of the Quick Loan Stadium ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene.

Cleveland fans are known for their madness, which can be seen from the fact that when James left Cleveland for Miami, many fans burned their jerseys in public, and now that the team is hitting a three-in-a-row championship, they obviously will not go abroad for such an opportunity to express their emotions.

The piercing decibel makes people feel a dull pain in their ears.

Playing in such a arena, the Lakers players all felt an invisible pressure.

For the final warm-up before the game, the LED screen on the scene gave the starting lineups of both sides.

The Lakers haven't made any adjustments, and this lineup has become their regular starting lineup from the regular season all the way to the Finals.

On the Cavaliers' side, Kyrie Irving and Iman Shambaugh started in the backcourt, two superstars Anthony and James were on the front line, and Tristan Templeson was the starting center.

The three-minute countdown on the sidelines went by second, and the players on both sides gradually became nervous and excited as the time passed.

With more than 1 minute left before the game, James walked to the front of the technical table, grabbed the magnesium powder that rubbed his hands, and threw it at the audience.

This action, which is exclusive to James, once again brought the emotions of the fans to a climax.

Cousins kept rubbing his hands, looking a little uncontrollable nervous, although the strength is there, but the first time he reached the playoffs and played in the Finals, it is obviously not easy to stay calm.

In fact, not to mention Cousins, Westbrook also took a deep breath continuously, and the last time he traveled to the Finals was in 2012, when the Thunder were also eliminated by the Cavaliers, which was also the closest he came to a championship.

At this time, when he came to this juncture, his emotions were also difficult to calm down.

In contrast, Tang Shuai should be regarded as the most calm one, although it is also the first time to play in the finals, he is confident in his own strength, and he is also confident in the strength of the team, so he did not show anything.

"Toot!"

After the last three minutes of warm-up, the long whistle on the sidelines followed.

The race is about to begin.

The players from both sides gathered around for the final cheering ceremony before going on the pitch, and then the starters walked onto the pitch.

It was Cousins and Thompson who jumped the ball.

Cousins is a full lap bigger than Thompson, but he's a lot weaker than Thompson in terms of jumping.

With the referee's whistle, Thompson jumped first and flicked the ball back into the Cavaliers' half.

With a burst of cheers from the crowd, the home team got the chance to attack first.

"Defend! Defend! Shaw ran to the sidelines and reminded the players loudly.

The Cavaliers replace defense with offense, and they have to show full concentration at the beginning, if they are stunned at the beginning, then it is obviously not easy to turn over.

But the intention is the intention, whether it can be done is another matter.

The Lakers opened the game with a personal mark-to-man defense, and the Cavaliers' James directly chose to force Mike Dermott with the ball on the outside.

Mike Dermott is tall enough, but the strength is too bad, and he has been pressed to the inside for a long time.

After successfully attracting Yi Jianlian's help defense, James made an unseen pass to Anthony on the right side in the air, and Anthony, who had been waiting there for a long time, directly pulled out the jumper.

"Huh!"

With a crisp bang, Anthony hit a solid jumper, averaging 22.6 points per game in the playoffs this year, and his contribution is unrewarding in a Cavaliers team with so many scorers. (To be continued.) )
