The NBA playoffs adopt a 7-inning 4-win series. One of the big reasons is that there are enough variables in 7 games, and many times you can't guess who will be the winner.

Just like the Lakers and the Cavaliers, although they only played 5 games, there were 3 chances of 3 times.

At the end of the first game, the Lakers had no choice but to win Anthony, which made the series look like a 4-0 victory. However, Tang Shuai saved the team with two consecutive high scores, especially the record 82 points in the third game, which made everyone realize the fact that the Lakers had no choice but to win Anthony, but the Cavaliers had no choice but to do anything about Tang Shuai. Tang Shuai's explosive scoring power was obviously better than Anthony, who was rejuvenated in the second spring.

This understanding made people quickly realize that the Lakers will be the final winner of the series, especially when the fourth game is played in Los Angeles.

But at this moment, the third variable appeared. The Cavaliers began to frequently hit the inside and caused damage. Cousins ​​was limited by fouls and his playing time dropped sharply. Gasol's old arms and legs were often only able to pull it off, which also led to the collapse of the Lakers' inside defense. The Cavaliers won two games in one go, turning the total score into 3-2, while they also gained the match points of the series.

At this time, as long as you win another game, James will complete his three consecutive championships, and it seems that Billups can no longer deal with this change of move by the Cavaliers.

The Lakers players also seemed very frustrated. A week ago they were thinking about what happened after winning the championship, but now they are on the verge of being eliminated.

However, there was a person who was not depressed in this situation, but instead felt an indescribable excitement.

This person is Tang Shuai.

Of course, he was excited because of the team's situation, but because in the last game, he had been stagnant for more than two seasons and finally upgraded!

The bus power pack, the skill pack he first gained, was finally upgraded to the normal version of the exclusive skill pack after three years of entering the league!

Strength is a very important point for NBA players to fight on the court. When the outside line is like the "little steel cannon" Lowry often breaks through, he relies on force to crush his mobile phone. When the inside line is like O'Neal, his opponent is also hit by someone who is knocked down, but there is nothing he can do.

Speed ​​is the advantage of the defender, strength is the advantage of the inside, Westbrook is a super defender who combines speed and strength. It is precisely this that he has become the top five stars in the active league. Now, Shuai Tang’s speed and strength are stronger than Westbrook, and he can do more things in the game, such as defense.

The sixth game between the two sides will be played at the Staples Center Arena. For the Lakers, this is a game they must win. Once they lose, they will be eliminated. This round of series, including the efforts of this season, will be in vain.

This time, Shuai Tang did not apply to Billups to defend Anthony or James. Even though he felt that this could be done after the bus power pack was upgraded, what he said to Billups would definitely be considered crazy.

Compared to applying, he chose to let this happen on the court.

On June 17, US time, the sixth game of the finals was held at the Staples Center Staples Stadium as scheduled. At the same time, the Quick Loan Stadium in Cleveland also developed fans. The Clevelanders gathered in the stadium early to prepare for the Cavaliers' winning moment there.

The Cavaliers also seemed full of confidence before this game. When facing the media, Anthony bluntly said that their goal in this game was to win and win a three-game championship for James, which was what they promised for a season.

The commentary of this game is the relatively neutral commentator Kenny Smith and the highly inclined Rick Barry.

With such an explanation arrangement at home at the Lakers' home court, it can be imagined that the league seems to have determined that the Cavaliers are going to win the championship.

"Hey, Don, I just saw that the league has brought the championship trophy. It seems that the league thinks the Cavaliers are going to win this game." Cousins ​​said with resentment. Although he was in a foul crisis in the last two games, his personality determines that he is not the kind of person who easily admits defeat.

"Don't care about those, DeMarcus, that's just a formality." Tang Shuai looked at the direction of the stands, and the league's president Xiao Hua and the league staff also arrived at the scene.

"By the way, DeMarcus." Tang Shuai retracted his gaze after watching it, then turned his head and said, "In this game, you have to control your foul numbers. If you can't hold some balls, let them score."

"I know, but it's hard for me to control them in turn." Cousins ​​knew this truth, but he was really suffering now.

"Well, you don't have to worry about that, just remember what I said." Tang Shuai didn't explain too much, and then walked to the Lakers' bench.

Neither side made any personnel adjustments in this game. Westbrook's form declined after returning from injury, but Billups still arranged for him to play.

"Rick, who do you think has a bigger chance of winning in this game?" Kenny Smith turned to Old Barry as the game began.

"The Cavaliers are undoubtedly the one thing they have proved in the past two games, that is, basketball is not a one-man sport. Although Don has the ability to score high points, those scores are not enough to fill the team's loss on the defensive end. Changxi used an offensive approach to solve the game, but now the team's defensive end problems are beyond his control."

"Does the Lakers have a chance to win?" Smith continued to ask.

"Of course there are opportunities. As long as their inside line can withstand the impact of Carey, LeBron and Mello, they have a chance." Barry said with a sudden smile. "Of course this has been proven to be impossible in the past two games."

"Or..." After Barry said that, he couldn't help but tease him in addition, "You can't expect Shuai Tang and Kevin (referring to Durant) to defend LeBron like that, right?"

"Haha, LeBron's impact is not the same as Kevin. I don't think Chauncey would be so stupid." Smith said with a smile.

Just as the two were teasing in the commentary seat, the game on the court had officially begun.

As they predicted, the Cavaliers still chose to keep rushing to the inside.

Cousins ​​deliberately controlled his foul in this game, but the result was that both James and Anthony had the opportunity to score easily.

After more than 2 minutes in the first quarter, the Cavaliers have led by 6 points 10-4, and the pace of the game is not very different from the previous two games.
