Although they lost the game, the Warriors didn't pay too much attention.
Everyone has played in the NBA for a long time and knows what the coach is thinking.
Although Deng Fang didn't say it didn't matter if he lost before the game, he didn't say the inspiring slogans as usual - "We will win!" "Let's work together to win the game!"...
Deng Fang only talked about tactics and gave everyone instructions on how to fight, any changes, and what needs to be paid attention to.
This kind of Deng Fang is very different from usual.
You know, no matter which head coach, feeding chicken soup is a necessary skill!
No matter the time of year, the more chicken soup the better.
The day the coach stops giving me chicken soup, he must have other ideas.
For the coach, he has only two options: win or lose.
If you don’t want to win, then you just want to lose!
Of course, it is wrong to say that you want to lose. If you can win easily, no one will refuse.
All I can say is that it doesn’t matter whether you win or not.
Everyone knows the coach's thoughts, so no one cares too much if he loses.
The team members didn't care, and Deng Fang also looked relaxed.
Because his purpose was achieved.
Both the ultra-small lineup and the twin-tower lineup have been tested for a lot of time, and the effects can be seen.
The next step is to watch the video and study, and then continue training.
Although he lost, the system only deducted 4 ability points from Deng Fang.
Because Deng Fang kept a low profile before the game and was prepared to lose.
4 ability points is already the minimum value that the system can deduct.
This is the second round of the playoffs, winning or losing will be quadrupled!
Deng Fang was already very satisfied with this result.
Deng Fang currently has a total of 119 ability points, which is enough for the time being.
…
There are two games on May 11th.
The first game was between the Cavaliers and Celtics.
This game was played at the Cavaliers' home court, and it was also the battle of Tianwangshan in this series.
The Cavaliers rejected Deng Fang's request for a price increase and chose to take a gamble.
The result was a huge disappointment for the Cavaliers, who lost miserably to the Celtics at home.
The two teams were still in a stalemate in the first quarter, with the Cavaliers leading by 3 points at 23:20.
Although James sent 4 assists in a single quarter, he did not score a point in the first quarter, which is a big hidden danger for the Cavaliers.
The Celtics are not easy to deal with. They have long guessed that James' injury is serious.
After testing for one game, the Celtics became more certain that James' right elbow had a great impact.
You're injured and don't want to attack?
Then I won’t let you go?!
You can shoot if you want, you can break through, but don't even think of passing the ball!
Do the rest of the Cavaliers want to attack independently?
no way!
You can’t do it, and don’t even want to do it!
In the second quarter, the Celtics began to open up James unscrupulously and cut off his passing routes.
James didn't have any good ideas. He made zero of two shots in this quarter and didn't score in any sports game.
Fortunately, he has the title of the best player in the league. James made 8 of 10 free throws in a single quarter and scored 8 points by using free throws.
However, the Celtics began to exert their strength on the offensive end and led the score by 6 points before halftime.
In the third quarter, the Celtics took this strategy to the extreme and frantically let James go!
Let him vote!
Let him vote!
Let him vote!
We are all shrinking inside, not even thinking about breaking through!
Want a free throw?
no way!
If you have the ability, just hit him!
The referee is your godfather, not your biological father!
He can't always protect you!
James had no choice but to shoot and score.
In this quarter, James made 2 of 7 shots, scored 4 points, 2 assists, and 2 turnovers.
James is sluggish, and the Celtics are firing on all cylinders.
The Celtics scored 30 points in the third quarter, winning by 11 points in a single quarter!
The game also lost its suspense.
In the end, the Celtics won the battle of Tianwangshan on the road with 120:88.
The Cavaliers also fell behind by a big score of 2:3, and the series was at stake.
After the game, James' right elbow injury once again became a hot topic.
How serious is James' injury?
Was James injured?
Is it just habitual invisibility as always or is he out of shape due to injury?
Can James recover in time?
These are all questions.
No one will have an answer if you ask.
The Cavaliers will never admit that James' injury is serious.
The Celtics won't say they won because James was injured.
But Deng Fang knew that the Cavaliers couldn't wait any longer.
If this continues, the Cavaliers will definitely be eliminated.
After this game is the battle between the Lakers and the Suns.
The two teams fought 2:2 before, and this time they returned to the Lakers' home court.
The game was very fierce, with both teams fighting hard until they ran out of ammunition and food.
With two seconds left in the game, the two teams were tied at 101:101!
In the end, the defending champion was superior, relying on Artest's second attack to score 2 points at the basket, and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain 103:101.
Losing this game will put the Suns in a very dangerous situation.
There is only one game on May 12, and that is Game 5 between the Warriors and Jazz.
This game was played at Oracle Arena.
After the game on the evening of the 10th, the two teams flew to Golden State.
The game starts at 8 o'clock in the evening on the 12th.
However, on the morning of the 12th, a group of mysterious guests came to Oracle Arena.
who?
James!
What are you doing here?
Cure!
In fact, the general manager of the Cavaliers contacted Deng Fang immediately after losing the Battle of Tianwangshan.
11 million, no problem!
We agreed!
Unexpectedly, Deng Fang disagreed!
11 million?
That was the quote from a few days ago!
Now it’s 13 million!
As agreed, after the fifth game, an extra 2 million will be added!
You must be honest!
Keep your word!
Cavaliers general manager is mad again!
Aren't we bargaining?
Do you still take it seriously?
I……
The general manager of the Cavaliers really wanted to hang up the phone and say "shit" to Deng Fang.
But he didn't dare!
Why?
Because the Cavaliers boss has spoken, no matter how much money is spent, James' injury must be cured!
If James' injury is not treated well, the Cavaliers will definitely lose this series.
If the Cavaliers stop in the semifinals, the Cavaliers general manager can resign and leave.
Regardless of whether James leaves or not, the Cavaliers general manager will definitely leave!
The boss has spoken, and the Cavaliers general manager must listen.
13 million?
Can!
Just cure James.
The general manager of the Cavaliers agreed to Deng Fang's offer.
Of course, you must ask what you should ask.
Can it be cured?
How long does it take?
How long is the warranty period?
Deng Fang answered simply: It can definitely be cured!
It only takes one day!
After he was cured, Deng Fang could only guarantee that there would be no problem for one series.
If James' right elbow is injured again within 7 games, Deng Fang can treat him for free.
If it was injured somewhere else, Deng Fang wouldn't care!
There is nothing wrong with Deng Fang's promise, and the Cavaliers general manager has nothing to say.
Now that it’s settled, let’s treat it!
So James flew to Golden State as soon as possible.
