What kind of team was the Cavaliers before LeBron James returned to Cleveland? The three No. 1 picks may be the most euphemistic criticism of the Cavaliers' poor record. However, such a team that is so fat that it is almost forgotten in the dust has occupied a seat in the NBA Finals this year.
Needless to say, LeBron James is so powerful. During the Eastern Conference Finals, James actually had some minor problems, but he insisted on playing and still defeated the Eagles without Irving and Love. At the end of the fourth game, James knelt on the sidelines and could not get up for a long time.
Compared to the smooth sailing of the Mavericks and Warriors, only LeBron James knows how hard it has been for the Cavaliers.
"If you want to win the game, you have to sacrifice your body. That's how life is!" After winning the Eastern Conference Finals, James said this resolutely in front of the camera.
And now, LeBron is ready to sacrifice everything in Dallas!
After the conference finals, the NBA war stopped for a week. But everyone knows that the war is not really over. This week is just to give fans a chance to breathe. Because the fiercest battle will begin soon!
June 4, 2015, the day the first game of the NBA Finals kicked off. The Cavaliers' team bus arrived at the American Airlines Center Arena early. James was the first to step out of the car door, wearing sunglasses. You can't see what this guy's eyes are like now.
Facing the Dallas Mavericks again was something James expected. He returned to Cleveland to join forces with Irving and Love just to deal with Yiyang! Since being swept last season, James knows that there will be no opponent of the Mavericks in the Western Conference for at least two or three years! They reunited together just for Yiyang.
This war, which has been prepared since the summer of last season, has finally arrived. James' expression was serious. Although the Cavaliers were just a weak team last season, James would never be satisfied with just leading the Cavaliers to the finals. He always has only one goal, the O'Brien Cup!
Yiyang, here I come!
James ignored reporters along the way, but J.R. Smith was less serious. This guy has always had a flamboyant personality. In the league, J.R.'s image is undoubtedly an out-and-out "thorn in the side." Being late for meetings and missing practice are all trivial matters. In the first round of the playoffs this season, J.R. was suspended for two games for punching Celtics forward Crowder.
Such a guy is usually outspoken about everything, even if the person he is talking to reporters is named Dwyane Wade.
"Dwayne's performance in last season's finals is obvious to all. This year he is one year older, and he also faced me. Be careful Dwayne, we are here to win!" After saying that, J.R. was still vicious. He pointed to the camera. During the Eastern Conference Finals, J.R. has undoubtedly become James' most effective helper.
What he said was actually a reflection of his self-confidence.
Before the game started, reporters who didn't take it too seriously naturally spread J.R.'s words to Wade's ears. But Wade's reply was even more wonderful. The guy with increasingly bigger cheeks stared at the reporter in surprise. "J.R. Smith? Who is he? The janitor for the Cleveland Cavaliers?"
For the Cavaliers players, Wade will not give anyone else any face except James. Just now, he had hugged and chatted with James. So now, the conversation is over, James, including his teammates, are Wade's enemies!
"Both LeBron and Dwyane have appeared in the NBA Finals for the fifth consecutive year. Except for Bill Russell in the 1960s, they are the only two who can do this. But the difference is, In this fifth year, the two are not playing on the same team. The performance of Dwayne and LeBron,
Undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of this game! "Before the start of the game, ESPN commentators also began to warm up the game. However, in fact, there is no need to warm up at all. The popularity of this year's finals is already very high.
Before the game started, fans could smell a strong smell of gunpowder. In front of the O'Brien Cup, peace and love simply do not exist!
The referee blew his whistle, kicking off the 2014-15 NBA Finals. Both teams performed incredible performances in the conference finals. One eliminated the 67-win Warriors 4-1, and the other swept the 60-win Hawks 4-0. Perhaps it is necessary to experience such nirvana and rebirth to be qualified to stand on the highest level stage.
In this game, the Cavaliers continued to use the starting lineup they used in the Eastern Conference Finals. Tristan Thompson and Mozgov partnered in the inside, Shumpert and Irving partnered in the backcourt, James played the core third position, and J.R. Smith played the role of the sixth man.
It was not easy for Gobert to fight for the ball over Mozgov. As soon as the game started, the Cavaliers had to face the Mavericks' offensive wave.
Shumpert's defensive performance against the Hawks was very good, but today he found it a bit difficult to get involved with Wade, whose hair may be seven or eight centimeters tall.
Wade's running is very nimble, and the Mavericks' off-ball screens are also just right. This makes it extremely difficult for Shumpert to keep up with Wade.
Finally, Wade found an opening, and Yiyang's pass followed. Shumpert didn't hesitate and cut the ball directly! This guy has a very high success rate in cutting the ball on the defensive end. In the last round of the series, Korver was frequently cut by Shumpert and lost his shooting rhythm.
But Wade is different. His ability to protect the ball is absolutely top-notch in the league. Wade held the ball and put it to his side, avoiding Shumpert's palm, and took the opportunity to accelerate the breakthrough!
"Shumbert shouldn't steal the ball, Dwayne is not Korver!"
Wade easily passed Shumpert and went straight to the inside, throwing up before Mozgov could get to the basket.
Mozgov certainly had nothing to do with this goal. It seemed that Wade was about to score the Mavericks' first two points during the Finals!
Just when the basketball was about to fall, a black shadow quickly passed in front of Wade, leaped high, and covered the sky!
"Pop!" There was a loud noise, and the basketball disappeared. It did not fall into the net, but was pressed firmly on the transparent backboard by James!
After landing, James and Wade looked at each other for less than a second. The ferocious look in Cavaliers No. 23 sent shivers down Wade's spine.
That LeBron guy is serious!
"Beautiful block, LeBron James took on Dwyane Wade as soon as he came up! Last season, the two were teammates on the Heat, but this season, they both left Miami to find their own way. This block Guy, this is the best gift LeBron can give Wade, his old friend!"
While Mike Breen was talking, James made a long pass from the backcourt, and Irving was already running wildly in the frontcourt. Yiyang was naturally chasing after Owen, but Owen was not afraid. Because like Yiyang and Thomas, he is a master at using the basket to avoid and block shots.
If Curry is holding the ball on the fast break now, Yiyang only needs to continue to exert physical confrontation on him. But Owen, who is rushing to speed, is not so easy to handle.
Lift the basketball and jump for a layup. Yiyang followed closely and waved his arms. At this time, Irving, who was originally going to lay up from the right side of the basket, took the ball back while gliding in the air, switched to his left hand, and sent the ball up from the left side of the basket. There is a basket between Yiyang's palm and Owen's basketball. Even if Yiyang has great abilities, he can't cover that basketball.
"Kelly Irving, a beautiful pull-up layup. His ability to avoid blocks is simply outstanding. Under the leadership of LeBron, Irving has gradually matured this season!"
In the first attack of the game, the Cavaliers used a perfect attack and defense to give the Mavericks a powerful start. And Irving also used an "Uncle Drew"-style goal to boost the Cavaliers' morale.
During the retreat, Irving and James high-fived each other intimately, and then both got into stance.
"Is this your new partner? LeBron." Looking at the two people working together seamlessly, Wade said to himself.
Although they lost the first goal, the Mavericks did not sink. Yiyang quickly organized a new round of offense, and the Cavaliers' defensive pressure was rising sharply.
In the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors were helpless against Yiyang's attack. Not to mention Curry, even Klay Thompson could only be beaten by Yiyang on the defensive end.
Now facing Irving, who is also not very good at defending, it is not too difficult for Yiyang to break through.
In fact, Irving does not suffer from height and physical fitness. But Owen's disadvantage lies in his attitude and awareness of defense. He was unable to predict Yiyang's next move, causing Yiyang to pass by Owen with a beautiful continuous change of direction.
Although Irving quickly reattached and gave Yiyang physical confrontation, for a scorer of Yiyang's level, even half a body distance is fatal!
But unlike the Warriors, both James and Tristan Thompson can quickly get to the basket to protect the rim. Although Mozgov's ability to protect the frame is average, he is still a big meat shield. As soon as Yiyang broke through, the Cavaliers' defense immediately shrank, leaving no room at all under the basket!
The Cavaliers have the capital to shrink, because except for Nowitzki and Yiyang, the three-point shooting of the Mavericks' starting lineup is unreliable. Tony Allen and Wade can be safely placed away from the basket.
But at this time, Nowitzki was not outside the three-point line, which meant that the Cavaliers were not afraid of Yiyang's passing ball at all.
Among the crowd, Yiyang still passed the ball. The basketball passed under James' arm and passed to the right side of the court. Wade received a pass from Yiyang for the second time today. He did not intend to waste Yiyang's wonderful pass for the second time in a row!
In the mid-range position, Wade raised the ball above his head, missed Shumpert who was coming to defend him, and then went straight into the penalty area! But due to Yiyang's breakthrough, the penalty area was already overcrowded at this time. So at the edge of the three-second zone, Wade stopped and shot a jumper. Tristan Thompson immediately pounced and his palms were completely sealed on Wade's face, but this did not prevent Wade from throwing the ball comfortably!
"When he was also in trouble, Dwayne stood up and came up with a strong response! The playoffs are a arena for stars, and Dwayne has never quit being a star!"
"Of course, Yi's passing was also incredible. In the crowd, I don't know how he saw Wade. Maybe he didn't need to look, the two of them just had a clear understanding of each other!"
The wonderful connection between Yiyang and Wade made the commentators applaud. Yiyang's passing and Wade's movement were in perfect harmony. Although this goal may not be as entertaining as Irving's just now. But Wade and Irving also got two points.
After Wade scored, he also high-fived Yiyang to celebrate. Afterwards, he glared at Smith who was sitting on the bench.
James showed no mercy, and Wade didn't intend to be polite to his good brother. Just now, James introduced his new partner Irving to Wade. Now, it's Wade's turn to introduce his new partner to James.
Come meet my new friends, man. He is the three-consecutive regular-season MVP. He leads the league in scoring, assists, and steals this season. He was recently selected to the defensive first team and the best first team, Yiyang!
The battle between the two began.
