Cleveland, the away Lakers challenged the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers' recent record has improved significantly, and James has been able to take a good rest. But this time, he had to come out to play. Because he didn't come out, some people
Art James, who has already started "gearing up" and then started fiercely tweeted: I am looking forward to returning to Quicken Loans Arena tonight, some people should not take a break to avoid the game!!!
These words were not said by Tang Qian. They were said by Thomas Jr., who was traded to the Lakers in the middle of the season. He has been coveting this game for a long time. Everything else is easy to say. In this game, he is the winner.
Must win. Slap his old club in the Cavaliers' home court, slap the Cavaliers' coaching staff in the face, and of course, most importantly, slap in the face... the so-called favored man of heaven, LeBron James. The conflict between him and James, before
It can be said that everyone knows it, so now, there is nothing to worry about.
Regarding this, Tang Qian certainly strongly supported his teammates. He not only liked it, but also sent a tweet of support:
Please show your strength tonight, Mr. 175, the strongest person on earth.
Seeing the desperate look on the Lakers' side, James and the Cavaliers fans were very annoyed, but they couldn't say anything. Because you haven't won a game. It's been so many years since James
After returning to the Cavaliers, he has never won a game against the Lakers or against the Lakers' No. 29. With such a crushing record, nothing James can say is in vain.
Even saying so would be humiliating oneself.
James originally planned to take a rest tonight as before. It would be fine to play the Lakers once in the regular season, but he never thought he would have to play twice. The Finals? There is no way in the Finals. But Xiao
If Thomas is in such a state, he will not be able to take turns in an honest way, otherwise, his fans will lose a lot. For players, losing their fans is definitely not a good thing. Although it is not a fan circle
One set, but for players, fans are also a very important part. Without fans, you will virtually reduce a lot of commercial value. This is definitely not what James, who is preparing to build his own business empire in the future, wants to see.
At least the Lakers took a rest on the 29th and he didn’t “diss” himself so directly. This damn Thomas!!! If I had known earlier, I should have let you sit on the Cavaliers’ bench and sit all over the bench!!! I want you to come out now.
Howling ghosts!!!
But if forced to this point, James will definitely fight. He also replied: Since I started playing basketball, I don’t know what it means to avoid fighting. If you want to challenge me, then I will accept it.
James' fans immediately shouted that James is domineering, but they didn't know that James was actually a little tangled in his heart.
If the Lakers don't go to No. 29 tonight, then he thinks he has a great chance to completely defeat Thomas and the Lakers. But if they go to No. 29, then he won't be so relaxed. Even if it's just one
Stars are everywhere, all stretched out, and No. 29 is moved out. With No. 29’s athletic ability and defensive awareness, it is not completely without defensive impact. James felt it in the last game, stretching is stretching, this 29
With his strong defensive awareness, No. 1 will still appear in front of him sometimes, finish his shot at the basket, and press down hard.
But it's better now than before. At least I've found a good way to effectively deal with No. 29 Tianke's ability.
This is a blessing among misfortunes, otherwise James would have had extremely dismal statistics when he played No. 29.
Even if they shoot four stars and transfer No. 29, the Lakers can still play by letting him play in the mid-range. This is how they lost in the finals last year. This year, he has been practicing hard all summer.
After a long distance, you can finally no longer be restricted by the opponent's defense and attack quickly. In addition, the opponent's main opponent, Butler, is out for the season, Ariza, the long-armed monster, has left Houston again, and Covington has not yet
After a complete comeback, in fact, their forward line is currently vulnerable defensively. They even use many defenders to replace the forward line to forcefully complete the task.
Under such circumstances, if you fight well, you may not be able to become famous.
At least, as long as your data looks good, you won't be scolded as badly as before if you lose.
At least it's still possible. James tried his best, but his teammates couldn't help him.
Thinking of this, James felt a lot more at ease, so his mental state at night was still very good. At least it was much better than before when he met the Lakers. As soon as Tang Qian saw it, he joked: "I said KING
, I seem to be in a good mood after taking a lot of rest recently. Alas, the Eastern Conference is very comfortable, and I can still rest during the regular season." James knew as soon as he heard that Tang Qian was ridiculing him, so he didn't waste any nonsense and said forcefully: "You don't want to
I thought you were invincible. Today is different from the past. This season, I am completely different! I am not afraid of you anymore!"
"Oh? You look very confident. That's good. After so many years, I'm tired of suppressing you and beating me. At least fair competition will be more interesting, right? I'm looking forward to your performance tonight, Zhan Badong."
The tone of Tang Qian's words was like a conversation between a strong man and a weak one. James has been wronged like this for many years. In this league, he has had no natural enemies for a long time. Everyone treats him with respect.
.But when I met No. 29, he was frustrated again and again, and he even fought back without any strength. I felt so angry!
I thought that tonight I must break the embarrassing record of zero wins against the Lakers for many years. Otherwise, I don’t know how long I will have to suffer.
I also want to raise my head upright in front of him and be a respectable person.
Of course, in order to maintain his personal image, James also had some intimate conversations with Wade, and he seemed to be good buddies, but this time Wade himself was a little "absent-minded." When Tang Qian saw this, he could only sigh lightly
Said something:
I don’t care what you think, do or make fun of, but if you are wearing a Lakers jersey, then you are a Lakers player.
Wade looked over, but still didn't say anything.
To be honest, if Rose is not here, it would be best for Wade to step in. This is also the reason why Wade was signed in the first place. After all, everyone knows that Wade still has gas in the tank. But when he came to the Lakers,
He has been playing relatively poorly, averaging six or seven points per game. For him, this seems to be a bit behind the Lakers' original intention of signing him.
The so-called brother basketball is ridiculous. If he can't figure it out clearly, then no one can help him.
To be honest, Tang Qian was a little too casual with Wade. Anyway, he didn't expect much.
Now that the team has gone through the most difficult and darkest time, it is best if Wade can wake up, but if he can't, forget it. It doesn't matter.
This game is undoubtedly a live broadcast across the United States. In China, there are also a large number of people watching the TV or mobile phones and computers, waiting for the start of this game. Fans of the Lakers and Tang Qian's fans hope to continue to suppress James.
, and continue to continue the legendary record of beating James. Fans of James desperately hope that James will rebound and completely break this curse this year. Otherwise, their favorite star has been suppressed and defeated head-on. I'm afraid who feels it?
Neither will be very good.
The Cavaliers' lineup tonight is: James + Jeff Green + Kevin Love + Rodney Hood + Sadie Osman. This year's Cavaliers' overall defensive efficiency is the worst in the league's history. So, you start from
It can also be seen from their team lineup that there is basically no defense. It is just offense. This is somewhat similar to the current Lakers. However, the Lakers' defense is still tenth in the league and top ten.
, much better than the Cavaliers.
The players lined up by the Lakers are Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Kuzma + Thomas + Rondo.
There was no need to talk about the two sides fighting for the ball. Tang Qian easily crushed Love. The Cavaliers' lineup did not have a tall man. The tallest one was Kevin Love at the fourth position. The Lakers got the ball.
, continue to advance, this ball Rondo signaled to play a tactical ball, but it seems that Rondo's condition is still recovering, the ball was not passed directly, and James rushed out to steal the route in an instant, and then took the ball and went down alone.
, an iconic James tomahawk dunk ended the battle. Helping the Cleveland Cavaliers, they got a good start first. Tang Qian comforted him and went over to fight. The Cavaliers' defense was really useless and they scored easily. Even this ball, even
No one who was assisting in the defense came up.
But James has figured it out this season. Since he doesn't have to count on defense, he should count on something else. The offense is pretty good. It would be great if he can score. So Tang Qian's goal does not affect James' mood at all.
, he led the team and started to counterattack. With a quick breakaway ball, Love hit it directly from the outside. Now is the space era. I am afraid that any shooter has a certain ability to shoot from the top and strong, unlike in the past when he needed to be wide open to take a shot.
The approach is completely different.
Tang Qian made a direct kill under the basket and made 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line. Turning around, the Lakers used the method of letting go of the mid-range shot to defend the Cavaliers' No. 23. At least before last season, this method was considered very effective.
The effect is effective. Even if the opponent launches a series of shots and pulls Tang Qian out of the paint area, there is no way to easily score. Because the person defending James directly let him go 2 meters and let him shoot directly.
Let him break out. At this defensive distance, if James chooses to break through, the effect may not be very good. After all, they are all NBA-level players. If you put it so far away, if you are still passed by in one step, then your last
It's better not to play in this league. Occasionally, and only occasionally, it's enough to make defensive adjustments and predictions.
It's the mid-range, and there's no way to take care of it. This is the biggest flaw in this defensive tactic. But, who told you that James is an intermittent shooter and his shooting is unstable. If it is unstable, then you can continue to defend like this. If James tonight
The touch feels good, let's talk about it. Last year, the Cavaliers were defeated miserably by the Lakers' defense. James hit the mid-range shot and hesitated, ruining the team's last hope.
Is this still the case this year?
No, this ball, when James saw the opportunity, he did not hesitate, he pulled it up and shot it from the spot.
Basketball, hit.
James finally found a way to deal with the Lakers, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Facing the Lakers in the future, I won't be as passive as before.
This feeling is not easy.
The Cavaliers played a 25-15 offensive wave under the leadership of James.
