MTL - NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal-v2 Chapter 920 open situation
On the morning of June 4th, the Trail Blazers, which won 75 games in the regular season, had home court advantage throughout the playoffs this season. In addition, the Trail Blazers won two games against the Cavaliers in the regular season, and they had the advantage.
The advantage of the home field and the advantage in regular season matches are the places where the Trail Blazers are generally more optimistic!
When the finals kicked off, the media and gambling websites, like last year, all made one-step predictions for this year's finals.
And ESPN, which has always been the most authoritative and the most concerned, also gave their official prediction: Unlike the finals of the past two years, this year they gave the Trail Blazers a probability of winning the championship of more than 80%!
This result surprised the Blazers fans.
Who doesn't know that LeBron James has always enjoyed the pro-son treatment in ESPN's various voting predictions. Have they rebelled?
As soon as this prediction came out, it exceeded the expectations of the majority of fans.
…
The training in the morning is over, and after lunch time, preparations are also in full swing at the training ground of the visiting team next door. The Trail Blazers, like the past few days, rested in the afternoon after training in the morning and waited for work.
At 18 o'clock in the evening, the ratings of the major TVs in the Rose Garden Arena and the Wuxi Bureau also reached their peak before the game.
Although it took three or four days to rest, the enthusiasm of the fans remained undiminished, even unprecedented.
Youdao is a good dish, never afraid of being late, who doesn't want to miss this kind of peak duel.
It is different from the regular season match. Although the training of the Cavaliers is still open to the public, the data interview was rejected after the training.
It can be seen that neither the Cavaliers management nor Tyronn Lue wants to take up the topic of losing to the Trail Blazers in the regular season.
This is also a good thing.
Avoid those messy pre-match wars of words. After experiencing the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals and the excitement of the Eastern Conference Finals G6, the fans also look forward to seeing more exciting duels in the finals.
In the locker room before the game, players from both teams are making final preparations for the game.
Finally, the time came to 18:30. After the pre-match lottery ended, players from both sides appeared one after another.
The regular lineup of the Trail Blazers includes Lillard Barton, Connett Lee, Aldridge, and Wang Zelin.
The Cavaliers are also the standard five tigers, Irving, JR, James, TT, Cousins.
At the scene, there were specially cut shots of Wang Zelin and James. Facing opponents who had defeated him in a row, James did not choose to throw magnesium powder before playing.
At least, he won't do it again until he beats Wang Zelin to win a championship for Cleveland.
Wang Zelin's expression looked the same as before, and he came to the middle circle to jump the ball.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Wang Zelin turned the ball back to the Trail Blazers half, officially kicking off the finals.
The Blazers played the pick-and-roll as soon as they came up. Just like in the regular season, they focused on the defensive weaknesses of the Cavaliers inside.
Encountered multiple double-teams at the basket, Wang Zelin passed back to Lillard on the outside, and Lillard scored a three-pointer after receiving the ball.
With a bang, the basketball hit the basket and came out.
In the penalty area, Wang Zelin moved first to grab the rebound, took off for the second time, and put the ball into the basket.
The Blazers opened the scoring first.
"Beautiful!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
On the sidelines, Coach Terry also waved his fist.
"Back to defense!"
With a roar, Wang Zelin led his teammates back to the backcourt.
Looking back, James organized the frontcourt, and the person defending him was Barton.
Compared with Connet Lee who is 1.96 meters tall, Barton, who is 1.98 meters tall, obviously does not suffer so much.
However, in front of James, the two centimeters of the cricket can't produce any qualitative changes.
James chose to break through with the ball, and Wang Zelin looked for help.
James made a beautiful cross pass to Cousins in the bottom corner, who made a three-pointer.
"Duang!"
The basketball hit the basket, and both teams missed their first three-point attempt at the start.
Wang Zelin recovered and protected the backcourt rebound, and the Blazers played a defensive counterattack directly.
Lila received a long pass from Wang Zelin in the backcourt, drove all the way down, and completed a one-handed dunk.
The Trail Blazers played smoothly in the opening game.
It can be seen that the last round of seven fierce battles with the Warriors successfully mobilized the entire state of the Trail Blazers.
In the Cavaliers' positional battle, Irving broke through with the ball, and Lillard defended alone.
One thing to say, you can ridicule Ou Shenxian for his lack of brains, but you must never question his strength.
What's more, at this stage, Irving is still partnering with James, and his performance is quite normal both on and off the court.
He rushed to the free throw line and feigned a layup, but in fact he took a step back and made a two-pointer.
Lillard's help defense is in place, but...
"Shua!"
Relying on his personal hard-breaking ability, Irving helped the Cavaliers open the record first.
2:4!
It's a bit suspicious of a fairy ball, but as long as it is scored, it is a good shot.
Fortunately, Lillard's psychological quality is strong enough, and he didn't feel any dissatisfaction because of being bukkake.
After receiving free throws from the back court, he steadily advanced to the front court.
Wang Zelin just received the ball from the low post, Cousins and TT's help defense was in place instantly, and Aldridge caught the ball and made a mid-range shot.
6:2, the Blazers started with a very high efficiency, and it seems that the Cavaliers can't stop their offense at all.
The home fans cheered constantly, this is the final they are looking forward to!
Turning his head, James forced Button to go to the basket and shot against Wang Zelin's help defense interference.
"Duang!"
The shot was short, and he hit an iron with anger.
Even for James, it is by no means so easy to score strongly in front of Wang Zelin. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Aldridge protected the backcourt rebound, and the Blazers were playing a defensive counterattack.
Compared with the Warriors, the Cavaliers' retreat speed is really much worse.
Once they fail to score and give the opponent a chance to stabilize their defense, except for positions 1, 2, and 3 who can return to the defense in time, TT and Cousins are often several shots slower than the other three teammates.
And this time is enough for the Blazers to complete the counterattack quickly.
This time it was Connet Lee, who received Lillard's return pass and fired decisively at the top of the arc from the three-point line.
9:2!
The Trail Blazers started the situation at home like a broken bamboo, almost hanging up the Cavaliers
The Cavaliers fans who were watching the live broadcast were also completely silent. This start was completely different from what they expected!
Even my emperor, whom they trust the most, has no room to play at all.
Irving held the ball and wanted to use Cousins' cover to find a misplacement, but Cousins couldn't stop Wang Zelin at all.
Owen made a strong shot, which was directly set on the backboard by Wang Zelin, and Xi Ti blocked the shot for the first time in the game.
Originally caught by Wang Zelin's counterattack, the Cavaliers' offense still failed to score.
No harm without comparison!
In any case, the Cavaliers came out of the Eastern Conference after going through many difficulties and obstacles. Before the game, many people thought that the Cavaliers would not be able to cause some trouble for the Trail Blazers as predicted by ESPN, and might even be like the Warriors. , and the Trail Blazers played seven games.
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
After facing the real encounter in the finals, the results presented exceeded the expectations of countless people.
