Guard With a Knife

Although the Cavaliers couldn't wait to end the battle at the Quicken Loans Center, despite the loudest shouts from the home fans. However, things don't seem to be that simple.

James from Akron is the pride of the entire Ohio State, and Cleveland people regard him as the son of heaven. From the first minute of the game, they were expressing their support for the little king with the most enthusiastic shouts... mvp! mvp! mvp!

Even through the TV screen, Doug can feel this strong affection.

However, the game did not shift in Cleveland's will in the end.

From the beginning of the game, Orlando used its height advantage on the perimeter to constantly bully Cleveland's small perimeter group. Whether it is Delonte West, Mo Williams, or Gibson, they all survive under the huge defensive envelope , and the intensity of physical confrontation is very high.

And LeBron James didn't feel good tonight, he could only rush into the paint again and again. Staged a one-on-one battle between the MVP of the regular season and the best defensive player!

Warcraft Howard is not for nothing. He is the leader in rebounds and blocks in the regular season, and in the playoffs, these two statistics are improving.

He alone supported Orlando's defensive system.

So, when LeBron rushed into the paint, James didn't get much advantage in one-on-one situations.

In the basketball media's "superstar power list", Howard is called the only privileged player in today's league who can replace LeBron James alone.

His trade value is at the same level as LeBron James, regardless of commercial clout.

At the end of the first half, the Magic led by 8 points.

After the start of the third quarter, LeBron James led the players to regain some points and even tied the game in the middle.

But ... when LeBron James came off the court and both sides switched to rotations late in the third quarter, the points were quickly opened up.

Orlando's bench players took the Cavaliers completely in less than 3 minutes.

This became the turning point of the game.

"The Cavaliers players have adapted to playing with LeBron James, and they obviously don't know how to handle the ball when LeBron James is not on the court."

Bill Walton said regretfully in the commentary: "This is the price of efficiency overflow. LeBron is too versatile, he does everything... almost every job on the court. He makes his teammates his Loyal subjects... This actually affects the enthusiasm and creativity of the team members to some extent."

"LeBron James can make his teammates better functional players, but he can't make his teammates better stars." McBrin also expressed his opinion: "This is the price of versatility! "

This kind of remarks have been there since the former Cavaliers boss Ricky Davis who "I thought the team chose him to assist me" was traded away. Although Cleveland is a small ball market, the Cavaliers have not been stingy with their salary expenditures for James over the years. Larry Hughes, Ilgauskas, Drew Gooden, Ben Wallace, Szerby Yake and even Mo Williams, these are high wages. However, the team can always rely on James to solve problems at critical moments. On the one hand, this proves the greatness of James, but on the other hand, there are also voices saying that James has affected their room to play.

At this time, Reggie Miller said: "I don't think omnipotence is a bad thing. Snoopy is also very versatile, rebounding, blocking, assists, defense, support, all of which he is good at, and now he has even learned to break through and shoot. .But...was there any Knicks affected? Last night, every single Knick stepped up and showed positivity and creativity that surpassed even their own abilities."

"That's because Snoopy is not as versatile as LeBron James. When Snoopy evolves to a certain height, he will inevitably affect the overall operation of the team."

Bill Walton said with certainty.

However, Doug shook his head in front of the TV.

He never thought of himself as the same type of player as LeBron James.

In fact, Doug has never regarded omnipotence as his own label. He just earnestly completes that task when the team needs to do a certain job by himself, not because I am omnipotent, so I have to take that task. Work falls under its own jurisdiction.

LeBron James quickly returned to the court, trying to control the rhythm.

However, Turkoglu and Rashad Lewis jointly contributed three-point rain to the Cavaliers. The game lost suspense in the middle of the fourth quarter.

In the end, Orlando won the tiebreaker 109:98 away.

They will return to Orlando for the final showdown with the Cleveland Cavaliers: the outcome of the seventh game will directly determine the places to enter the Eastern Conference finals, and even more directly... This determines who will represent the Eastern Conference and Los Angeles The Lakers are in the final championship battle!

"LeBron James shouldn't be playing that kind of angry psychological warfare with Snoopy. Now that the Knicks have advanced to the finals, Cleveland has been beaten 3:3. The pressure is all on the Cavaliers." McBrin said after the game After commenting on the tactical play of both sides in the game, he couldn’t help mentioning the ‘public opinion battle between the Duke and the King’: “If the Cavaliers fail in the tie-break, then...James is very likely to bear the pressure no less than Mike Woodson. It will even have some negative impact on him becoming the first man in the league. After all, this is a scandal that he slapped himself in the mouth."

"Snoopy is really invincible." Bill Wharton sighed leisurely: "The elites from the business school are indeed extraordinary."

"Didn't Snoopy take psychology as an elective?" Reggie Miller added, he has always attached great importance to and paid attention to this elementary school boy: "He rarely said those arrogant and provocative remarks, but...from NCAA to now, he also Those who challenged him have never achieved success. In fact, all those who wanted to use him as a stepping stone eventually became his stepping stone. Now looking back at the scene at that time, who still remembers the most popular oj Mayo, Michael Beasley? He has become the No. 1 rookie in the 2008 class on par with Derrick Rose!"

"So you think Snoopy will use LeBron James as a stepping stone?" McBrin said with a smile.

He didn't mean anything malicious, he just simply felt that the metaphor was full of loopholes.

Reggie Miller shrugged and forcefully explained: "LeBron James didn't use Snoopy as a stepping stone! I mean, everyone who tries to use Snoopy as a stepping stone will become his stepping stone."

"What if one day LeBron James tries to use Snoopy as a stepping stone?" Bill Walton asked with a smirk.

Both he and McBrin are catching Reggie's logical loopholes.

Reggie Miller looked a little red-faced, and he said "arguably": "If there is such a day, I will still support Snoopy."

This made the commentary seats a joy.

Nobody took the joke seriously, after all... Snoopy is nowhere near LeBron James. Despite Snoopy's recent terrific performances,... LeBron James is the chosen one to challenge the basketball gods.

Snapped!

Doug reached over and turned off the TV.

So, he didn't hear Stan Van Gundy and Dwight Howard praising him on TV.

Orlando's generals used very nasty words to praise the Duke's tactical talent, and they emphasized: It was Snoopy who gave Orlando people confidence, and he gave us a direction, which made us change from passive to active, and we will continue to fight in the future. Game 7 advanced to meet the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.

These praises were interpreted by ESPN as deliberately putting pressure on LeBron James. They wanted to use Snoopy and LeBron's "quarrel" to create a heavy psychological burden for the Cavaliers and make them fall into a situation of "unable to lose". situation.

This is a very clever psychological tactic.

Duger obviously didn't care about this matter. Before he fell asleep, he received a call from the general manager of the Knicks' business department. Robert said he has arranged two TV interviews with the Knicks players, and the club will hold a grand celebration before the arrival of the Eastern Conference Finals.

This made Doug think that Robert must be crazy.

The season is not over yet, can't wait to celebrate?

But Robert repeatedly emphasized on the phone that his will is clear. This matter has been agreed by all the management, and the shareholders also believe that this is a reasonable behavior. The fans in New York City cheered for it.

For the Knicks, being able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals is already a surprise that they could not even dream of.

They have no pursuit of this season at all, they just want to celebrate now.

"We're going to lose in the Eastern Conference Finals anyway, so why don't we celebrate when everyone's in high spirits? Shouldn't we have a parade after the team loses in the Eastern Conference Finals?"

Robert's logic is smooth.

Tongshun couldn't refute even Duge.

So, late the next night, he and his teammates appeared at the recording site of Jimmy Show. Jimmy Ferron once teased the intricate relationship between the duchess girls on the show. For this reason, he even quoted many cartoons. Saying that Snoopy is like a predator rushing into the Grimm's fairy tales and Disneyland, whether it is Mickey Mouse, a little Disney princess, or the evil queen in Snow White, it is hard to escape the opponent. He claims that the Duke is a lion with a shaved mane who disguised himself as a Snoopy dog ​​and rushed to Hollywood to feed, and now New York has become his hunting ground.

And tonight, he focused on discussing the performance of the pickup truck with Snoopy, and he hoped to get more information on how to make the pickup truck vibrate at a high frequency.

This is a hot topic of complaints on major talk shows recently, although no one thinks that this matter has anything to do with Snoopy, because the level of absurdity is too unimaginable, and it is too much like a marketing advertisement.

"Before discussing this matter, you must own at least one Ford Raptor." Snoopy told him in the tone of a salesman: "If you also want to have such high-strength and high-frequency impact capabilities, quickly pick up the order phone Bar."

This response made the audience roar with laughter.

Jimmy Ferron had to change the subject while laughing, and then he asked: "Recently, how is your relationship with your duchess girls going? I heard that you are going to enter the offseason soon, and in the long offseason Period... will you continue to provide headlines for our entertainment news? We can't wait to see which new female stars will join the Duke Girl sequence. Here, can you reveal the scope of your hunting? Will you Looking for a partner in the music industry, or stretching your claws on the runway, or... you will enter the film and television industry. Oh, by the way, your documentary will be released on August 8th this year, are you ready for it? Are you going to call all the duchess girls at the premiere?"

"No comment!"

Snoopy shrugged, and he kept the audience excited.

...
