Chapter 89 The changed knight
“LeBron, for this game, I decided to do what you said, give you all the ball and hope you won’t let me down.”
After two unbeaten defeats, David Blatter compromised.
He has no choice. The Cavaliers can no longer lose, especially in the way of David Blatter. The Cavaliers must make changes, and David Blatter must also make changes.
LeBron James got what he wanted, but he was not happy, because in the first two games, he had seen the strength of Anxi and the 76ers, which he could not imagine.
Giving all the ball to him is an illusion that LeBron James has always had before. He believes that all the ball belongs to him and the Cavaliers have a chance to win. But now, LeBron James has no confidence.
Especially when the third game will return to his home court, LeBron James is beginning to be afraid. He is afraid of losing in his hometown. If the situation really becomes like that, he will be a complete loser.
However, in the face of David Blatter’s compromise, he still agreed.
“David, you should have been like this long ago.” LeBron James acted as a matter of course and he was confident, but no one knew that LeBron James was still hiding his true self at this time.
The third game is about to begin. LeBron James is very nervous. All the ball rights are given to him, and the victory and defeat are given to him. His pressure is too great.
The Cavaliers returned to Cleveland, and the media swarmed, and the small city of Kerchon suddenly became the focus of the world.
When the 76ers’ plane landed at Cleveland International Airport, everyone knew that the two games that determined this era would soon begin in Cleveland.
In the West, the Rockets struggled to push the Warriors to the last minute of the game. At the last moment, Harden scored consecutively, but it was too late. At the last minute of the game, the Rockets were still one point short. In the end, at 98:99, the Rockets lost the game by one point.
The West has also developed to 2:0, but compared to the East, the Warriors have not yet been able to show their dominance.
The 76ers want to continue to show their dominance. At the Cleveland International Airport, facing reporters, Anxi said: “Yes, I want to take away two victories from Cleveland…”
“Yes, we want to win the championship trophy at Quicken Loans Arena.”
Anxi is full of self-confidence. For the finals, he is determined to win.
Anxi used to be humble, but now, Anxi will no longer be humble, and it is time for him not to be humble anymore. Now, Anxi wants to show his ambition and he wants to become the overlord of this era.
After the Sixers arrived in Cleveland, they trained for a day in the rented arena. The next day, the third game of the Eastern Conference finals began…
In Quicken Loans Arena, 20,000 Cavaliers fans filled this seemingly shabby arena. It is said that after LeBron James returned to Cleveland, owner Dan Gilbert made a fortune and announced the construction of a new arena.
Indeed, looking at the shabby things of Quicken Loans Arena, it really has to be changed.
However, the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene was not diminished. Facing the 76ers, a huge noise was directly created in the arena, and the boos continued.
After a short warm-up, the game officially began…
The starting points of the two teams are still the same. For the 76ers, point guard Ismael Smith, shooting guard Anxi, small forward Jack Lauder, power forward Paul Gasol and center Norens Knoll.
On the Cavaliers side, point guard Kelly Irving, shooting guard JR Smith, small forward LeBron James, power forward Kevin Love and center Timophy Mozgov.
Mozgov and Norens Knoll jumped the ball, Knoll grabbed the basketball first and won the opening ball for the 76ers.
With the first ball in the opening game, the basketball was directly handed over to Anxi.
In the shooting guard position, the Cavaliers did not change, but this does not mean that they did not pay attention to the defense of Anxi. The reason for JR Smith to continue to start is to keep the 76ers under pressure on the offensive end. As for the task of defending Anxi, David Bu Rattle can only hand it over to LeBron James…
At this moment, LeBron James is under tremendous pressure. He not only has to control the team’s offense, but also has to defend Anxi.
In the opening, Anxi’s first wave of offense was not blocked by LeBron James. Anxi used a quick acceleration to get rid of, and anxiously stopped the jumper to score.
Anxi’s mid-range shots have become more precise, there is only a trace of openness, and almost all shots must be entered.
LeBron James had no choice but to wave his hand helplessly as Anxi scored.
But after getting the ball, LeBron James wants to get back on the offensive end.
LeBron James came to the frontcourt with the ball, facing Anxi’s defense, LeBron James directly accelerated, like a tank moving at full speed, directly attacking Anxi’s defense.
Anxi was temporarily suppressed. In terms of physical fitness, he is still somewhat inferior to LeBron James.
The two entered the penalty area one after another.
This is the biggest breakthrough LeBron James has made in the two games. Under Anxi’s defense, he finally grabbed some opportunities. With this goal, he went straight inside!
A collective scream and exclamation sounded from the sidelines, LeBron James rushed into the penalty area and jumped up.
Sporadic cheers are beginning to appear in the Quicken Loans Arena. Is LeBron James going to succeed?
Everyone grew their mouths, looking forward to the moment when LeBron James scored!
Although it was only a goal, it was a goal facing Anxi’s defense. From the first two games of the series, if this goal is scored, it may be a turning point for the series!
The Cavaliers fans couldn’t help but want to cheer, but Anxi also jumped up, jumping high and not low, slapped, like hitting a volleyball, and yelled: “Get out!”
Then, the basketball was slammed by Lin Xing and flew directly from the backcourt penalty area to the frontcourt, rushing out of the sideline.
At that moment, the Quicken Loans Arena was silent!
In the commentary, Charles Barkley was stunned for a long time before shouting: “Oh no! The goal that LeBron James wanted to win was actually destroyed by Anxi, and it was strongly destroyed by Anxi!”
Anxi was expressionless. In this game, he will let the Cavaliers and LeBron James know what despair is!
After defending LeBron James’s must goal, Anxi’s momentum rose and the Cavaliers re-serviced the ball in the backcourt. However, after the re-sent, the ball was not given enough time. LeBron James dribbled for a few seconds and threw the pot in the last two seconds. Kelly Owen forced a three-pointer and didn’t make it.
The rebound was taken by Pau Gasol.
With the 76ers’ offense, Anxi once again faced LeBron James at the top of the arc of the three-point line. He held the ball in the high post and directly chose a back-up singles. After two steps, he suddenly turned around and made a jumper, scoring another 2 points. !
4:0, Quicken Loans Arena continued to be quiet.
Anxi’s performance has begun…
In the backcourt of the 76ers, LeBron James forced Anxi, but he hadn’t made two moves yet, and he was directly turned sideways by Anxi. He snapped the ball and stole the ball!
The audience exclaimed, but everything could not be stopped. An Xi shot the basketball, jumped out, grabbed the basketball directly, and rushed directly to the basket on the front court.
With a bang, a dunk continued to quiet the Quicken Loans Arena, 6:0!
This is not the end. LeBron James, who has got all the ball rights, has already gotten into the horn tip. In fact, he must also drill the horn tip. Since the ball belongs to LeBron James, the Cavaliers want to win this game. LeBron James This point must be fired first.
But Anxi seemed to have held LeBron James’ seven inches, once again entangled LeBron James on the defensive end, and once again defended a mid-range jumper from LeBron James.
Norrence Knoll protected the rebound, and then flicked the basketball was once again handed over to Anxi.
Anxi caught the ball, rushed to the frontcourt, and chased for a three-pointer! 9:0!
This was not over yet, LeBron James continued to miss the layup, An Xi failed to push the fast break, and the positional warfare once again resorted to post-up singles. After turning around and deceiving LeBron James, An Xi strode into the inside and rushed into the post. Murphy Mozgov dunks.
Goal in! And it caused a foul by Timofi Mozgov! Then, go to the free throw line and make an extra free throw!
2+1, for a time, the Quicken Loans Arena booed everywhere.
This boo was not only given to Anxi, but also to the Cavaliers’ players.
In the opening three minutes, the Cavaliers were beaten 12:0 by Anxi! This surprised everyone!
The knight was completely unable to resist, An Xi had already run away!
Starting at 12:0, the game was beyond the control of the Cavaliers from the beginning! The 76ers have fully grasped the initiative in this match point battle!
