Chapter six hundred and eighty first regain the old plan(1/2)
Li Xing returned to Toronto with questions.
A day later, the second game of the Western Conference Finals continued in Oxford City.
Strangely, the Thunder, widely favored by the outside world, actually lost this sure-win game.
Curry and Thompson contributed seventeen three-pointers to beat Russia City and tie the total score. At the same time, the battlefield of the game will be transferred to Golden State.
For the Warriors, this is the best opportunity. They stole home advantage from the Thunder. As long as they can guarantee that they can win all home games, they can advance to the finals.
The accidents in the west did not disrupt the eastern part.
On the contrary, both sides of the Eastern Conference are preparing for the game in an orderly manner.
Li Xing quickly put the matter between the Li couple behind his head. He still had a game. Even if he wanted a touching marriage recognition ceremony, he had to wait until the game was over.
Game2
The Knights changed their tactics, and they chose to let James be the leader of the entire army and charge into battle again and again.
For this reason, James took action 34 times.
It is worth mentioning that his 34 shots have returned to an extremely ugly hit rate.
Because Li Xing covered him 11 times.
Most of these 11 blocks were converted into counterattacks, and they were covered in this way. The result of the game can be imagined.
James has no way to help the team win by himself.
The Cavaliers suffered another defeat, and it seemed that they had gone astray and embarked on a path that was exactly the same as James' Heat era.
At the moment, they only have three choices.
Continue to trust James;
Activate Irving and let him open his fire;
Or, re-enter the strategy of both internal and external core.
The Cavaliers don't believe in Irving, and James has proved many times that his system cannot defeat Li Xing. Therefore, it is a very easy decision to switch back to the original tactic.
The Cavaliers were delighted by the decision and they were all happy.
G3
Another war broke out in the west.
This round of the Western Conference Finals will definitely be recorded in history. Just as the Warriors wanted to defend their home court well, Westbrook played a terrifying 501010 on the Thunder.
Even in this era, 501010 is not common.
Yes, it's not none, it's not common.
Li Xing has produced data that is even more terrifying than this. This data has always been his exclusive, but suddenly, others have also produced this data.
While typing this data, Westbrook also maintained a considerable degree of efficiency.
With his performance, the Warriors lost their resistance and were defeated in G3.
Such a failure will not make Curry and others desperate, but will instead inspire their stronger fighting spirit. They just want to win back one game.
Compared to the East where there seems to be no suspense, the audience prefers the Western Conference Finals where Mars hits the Earth.
The next day, tonight.
Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals will be held at the Quick Loan Center Arena in Cleveland.
Here, James has raised his flag.
The King of Akron fulfilled his promise to return to Cleveland.
When Li Xing and his teammates logged into the venue, hostility at the scene surged towards them.
This is normal.
Before Li Xing returned, the Raptors had a double showdown with the Cavaliers and the Eastern Conference Finals. Although both ended in failure, the two sides had accumulated a considerable amount of hatred.
Eliminating opponents in the division final twice means that the opponent will play the championship-level schedule twice, but they have not even gained the title of the division final title. This deep hatred is enough to make the two cities hostile to each other.
The commentator sitting in the commentary seat is no longer annoying Toronto double-guys.
It is Cleveland's station commentator, Cavaliers legend Mark Price and TNT double-guys.
"Mark, do you have any prospects for tonight's game?" Smith asked.
Price said: "My outlook is that the Cavaliers can win. In addition, it is better not to have garbage time."
Barkley said with a smile: "It seems you are also afraid that garbage time will appear at home."
In the previous two games, the Raptors made the game into garbage time, which is why this round of series does not attract audiences. Fans prefer fierce final battles.
This is normal, Li Xing and others expressed their understanding, but they would not do so.
After the warm-up, the referee came onto the court with the ball in his arms.
"jump ball!"
The referee took the ball and said.
Then, the ball was photographed in the air.
Surprisingly, Li Xing did not get up to take the ball, but gave the ball rights to the Cavaliers.
"why is that?"
Price is very puzzled. Most teams like to start the game, and winning the ball strongly is part of the start.
Even if the Raptors don't want to start, they don't have to be so generous that they give up the ball, right?
"Don't be too happy too early, in my experience, this is usually a Toronto plot, don't forget how you lost the first two games."
Smith said this completely without the fairness that professional commentators who comment on the American game should have.
"Kenny, you sound like you're possessed by Quincy Davis, be more awake," Barkley reminded.
The station commentators say whatever they want, and people like them who fly everywhere in the United States must pay attention to their position.
No fans want to hear the commentator have a bias, let alone this is a live broadcast for the whole United States.
Although Li Xing is hated, there are definitely many more people who like Li Xing than Li Xing's Cavaliers.
In this case, the opposite position to the Raptors is that countless fans are against each other.
Smith is also a veteran in the commentary world, how could he not know this? He just had a strange disease. The full name of this disease is: jealousy that cannot be seen well, and he will oppose the awesome ones.
Li Xing and his team were so successful that when they played the game honestly, the whole world praised them.
Smith hates these praises, so he takes the initiative to attack and fight back against these praises that are no different from being praised.
"Don't worry, Chuck, I know what to do."
Smith is still stubborn.
On the court, the Cavaliers' first round of offense started.
Obtaining the right to the ball is also an accident for the Cavaliers. They have long been prepared to fall into the hands of the opponent.
The moment Li Xing gave up the ball, Owen wanted to fight back, but his opponent seemed to know that Li Xing would give up the ball, and retreated early, without giving him a chance.
What does this mean? This shows that Li Xing had a premeditated plan to give up jumping.
Although I don't know what he is planning, I must be careful after all.
Li Xing's plan is actually simple. He just wants to know what trick the Cavaliers are going to do.
If they were to focus on Irving, things would be much easier.
If they still play James, they will basically repeat the second game tonight.
If they get lost and pick up the routine of the first game again, things will become interesting.
On the low post on the left, Embiid came to block his position.
Li Xing was not prepared, and he didn't expect this guy to come up to get the position in the first round.
The Cavaliers' ball was very decisive.
If it is the main player Irving, he should try his hand at the beginning; if it is the main player James, Embiid has now gone to the outside to pull up space.
In this way, the form is very clear.
The Raptors can easily make a judgment: they have re-established a system of internal and external combinations.
Embiid held the ball in his hand, turned the basket into a face basket, stared at Li Xing, and kept moving his hands.
Then, he turned back to the basket, probably because he felt that the back was easier to hit. He bent down and his height, which was not originally dominant, looked shorter.
The lower center of gravity made Embiid's back hit more impactful. He pushed Li Xing into the paint area. Suddenly, his body turned around and he had to hook his hand when he started to the front of the basket.
This time, he avoided the block, but Li Xing's interference was too strong. His hook hit the front of the basket and quickly popped out.
The amazing ball speed made Li Xing unprepared, and the rebound fell back to Embiid's hands.
The second attack was picked up in a few seconds.
