The Hornets got off to a good start in the Finals at Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland. In this game, in addition to Lian Xiang's 43 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Korver scored 14 points, and Garfield added 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

Jeff Green, who was injured, also scored 8 points.

It can be said that the performance of the entire team was the key to the Hornets' victory over the Cavaliers in G1.

On the Cavaliers side, James made 11 of 19 shots and 10 of 12 free throws. He also scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, a near-triple-double. However, Peja and Mo Williams pulled. The two combined for 3

3 of 14 from the field.

After this game, James did not blame his two teammates. In an interview, he said calmly: "This loss doesn't mean anything. Do we have problems? Of course we do, but I think...

As you know, the Hornets are a strong team and Lian Feng was hot today. I don’t think anyone else might be able to perform as well as we did.”

The reporter pointedly asked James what he thought of the performance of Peja and Mo Williams.

James thought for a while and shook his head: "They actively moved around, were very smart on the court, were able to find open spaces, and then took decisive shots. Everyone feels cold sometimes, but I believe this state will not last too long.

Over time, they will find their form, they have been doing this in previous games, and I am proud of them."

Although the Hornets won this game, the team's atmosphere was not so relaxed.

Because everyone knows what it means when Jeff Green is absent from the Finals due to injury.

One of the biggest disadvantages of their team is that their lineup is not deep enough.

The only ones who can lead the second team to play are Ibaka and David West.

But after all, Ibaka himself is still a rookie, so most of the time only David West leads the second team as a substitute.

At this time, Jeff Green's absence means that the remaining main players must stay longer in regular time.

And everyone is worried about Lian Feng.

Because everyone knows that after Jeff Green leaves the court, the heavy responsibility of defending James must fall to Lian Feng.

But Lian Feng is still the vanguard of the attack.

It's not that it's wrong to pick the hardest bone on both offense and defense, but the opponent is James, and defending James is definitely the most physically demanding thing.

Therefore, everyone from the team management to every player is paying attention to Jeff Green's injury situation.

After the team doctor performed a comprehensive examination on Jeff Green, he received news that shocked everyone.

At that time, everyone was in the training hall. The staff said something to Adelman. Then the head coach's face darkened, his brows furrowed, and then he slowly walked towards the players in training.

"Bah bang bang."

Adelman clapped his hands and called everyone over.

In confusion, everyone gathered around Adelman.

Adelman glanced at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "Unfortunately, I have to tell everyone some sad news."

Everyone had a bad feeling.

Lian Feng was startled for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and his eyes flashed.

Sure enough, Adelman spoke slowly: "According to the staff's description, Jeff Green will miss the game for a long time."

This was expected by others, because everyone estimated that Jeff Green was likely to have broken ribs.

Then it is possible to rest for several months.

But what Adelman said next surprised everyone.

"According to the diagnosis, Jeff Green was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm and requires surgery. He may miss a year or two."

For a moment, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Because none of us were studying medicine, when we heard the term "aortic aneurysm", we were all shocked.

Ibaka couldn't help but ask: "Is Jeff Green going to die?"

This is the true psychological thought of most people when they hear an aortic aneurysm. As long as a tumor is mentioned, it is almost equivalent to death, no matter where it is, this is the impression left on people.

"My child, he won't die for the time being."

Lian Feng sighed softly.

In the original time and space, Jeff Green was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm in 2011, but in this time and space, because of James, he underwent a major examination and the problem was detected in advance.

It's not necessarily a bad thing.

Of course, the earlier a tumor is discovered, the better.

But in this case, the newly established team will have to think about adding a new No. 3 or No. 2 position.

Next season, of course, the No. 1 position will not be moved, it is reserved for Curry. Adelman also sees Curry right, and George Sheen has already started contact with the Timberwolves, using the two in his hands.

It shouldn't be very difficult to change the lottery position to a higher one.

Korver's contract will expire next year, and he will become a free agent, so he may not stay with the team. He has performed very well this season, although the reason is more dependent on the system.

I don’t know, but from a certain perspective, he is indeed a rare champion puzzle piece.

If another team offers a high salary, Korver is likely to leave.

For the current Hornets team, of course, finding a 3D player is the best result. Originally, Jeff Green was a very good personnel. He could defend from 1 to 4, and his three-point shooting percentage could be maintained above 30%. Although

Not as good as Klay on the offensive end, but very good defensively.

Now that he has taken the no-war card, he must make preparations in advance.

Lian Feng quickly searched in his head for 3D players who would enter the league in recent years.

Klay Thompson will not enter the league until 2011.

Then there is a small card with top 3D potential, who only entered the league in 2011.

Um……

11 years…

Lian Feng couldn't help but shook his head. It was too early to consider these things at the moment. What must be done now is to get out of the current predicament as soon as possible.

In the next game, without Jeff Green's offensive assistance in the interior, it will be much more difficult.

That's right, unlike others who worry about the defensive end, Lian Feng doesn't care about defense, because James has no problem at all when it comes to him, and he will only be better than Jeff Green.

In comparison, Jeff Green's role on the offensive end is actually underestimated.

Jeff Green is very comprehensive. He can make three-pointers, rush to the basket, and show off his moves in the low post. His presence will give him more options when attacking. This is one of the reasons why the Hornets' offense is so unsolvable at present.

Jeff Green is on a truce, so he can only draft an unknown guy from the bench to take over the No. 3 position.

The team's offense will become very single except for itself.

Korver can only shoot from mid-range, and Gasol has no advantage in fighting the 221 Big Z under the basket, so he has to shoot from the outside. Ibaka can only take the cake and make a mid-range shot.

Good guys... became a jumper.
