Super All-around Point Guard

The seventh game among the seven games is the most brutal showdown in the series. The two teams are obviously of equal strength. They may not be able to decide the winner after four or five more games, but they have to decide in this seventh game. A team will advance.

At this point in the series, Xie Chen was also filled with emotion, saying: "Although I have only been in the NBA for three years, I feel that I have played against the Warriors more than anyone else. They are indeed great opponents. If you ask, I don’t know who can win the seventh game, maybe it’s us, maybe it’s them, but I believe no matter what the result is, we won’t have any regrets or complaints.”

Many people compare the next game between the Lakers and Warriors to a championship battle. To a certain extent, it means to despise or even ignore the Eastern Cavaliers. However, judging from the strength shown in both the regular season and the playoffs, , the Lakers and Warriors are indeed better than the Cavaliers.

In Xie Chen's heart, he attaches more importance to the tiebreaker than any other game in the past two seasons. For Xie Chen, the next game will be no different from the last game of the finals.

The Cavaliers have never been sure of their opponent in the finals, which makes them very uneasy. The matchup in the Western Conference finals was too fierce and high-end. The high-level basketball competition played by the two teams made many Cavaliers players amazed and overwhelmed.

In the sixth game against the Raptors the next day, the Big Three of the Cavaliers did not give the Raptors another chance. They suppressed them from beginning to end, defeated the Raptors, and advanced to the finals!

"I finally made it to the finals again!" LeBron James was also very excited after the game. When he was with the Miami Heat, he entered the finals for four consecutive years, but when he returned to the Cavaliers, he clearly formed a team. A super Big Three team that also has championship potential, but because Xie Chen is also in the Eastern Conference, James has not made it to the finals for two consecutive years!

Now that Xie Chen has gone to the Western Conference, James finally got his wish and reached the Finals again. However, many people still say that if Xie Chen is still in the Eastern Conference, James still has no chance to reach the Finals.

After the game, James was also asked by reporters who his opponent in the Finals was, and asked James to predict who would win in the Western Conference finals tiebreaker. James said: "I don't know who they will win in the end. I've been thinking about it. Following their series, they are both great teams, and I am excited to play any of them. In Game 7, I will go there in person to see who will become my first choice. Opponent in the final!”

After successfully defeating the Raptors, James has decided to go to Los Angeles to watch the seventh game between the Lakers and the Warriors. He has already said hello to Carmelo Anthony. James is too concerned about this series. In the past few days, the focus on the Warriors and Lakers has even been greater than the rival Raptors. If James focused on playing the Raptors, he might win in less than six games.

James really wanted to go live and experience the atmosphere of the Game 7. He was not only a player, but also a fan, not to mention that the Warriors and Lakers would be his opponents in the finals. He really couldn't just watch the TV screen at home. To meet it all.

After Irving learned about James's thoughts, he immediately asked James to help him prepare a seat adjacent to him. Tickets for the tie-break were too difficult to obtain, and Irving had to rely on James's relationship to get a better seat. Tickets.

So, James and Irving went to Los Angeles together to meet members of the superstar viewing group.

In the past two days, major news media have also made a fuss about the topic of Game 7. Whether it is on the Internet or in life, whether you are a basketball fan or not, you all know that there will be an eye-catching tiebreaker.

T.NT members are also discussing this topic enthusiastically.

The host laughed: "Before the series between the Warriors and Lakers started, I asked you to make predictions. All of you, including Shaq and Charles, thought that the Warriors would win and win the game within six games. , now the tiebreaker situation is more intense than last year's finals. Maybe everyone is used to the identities of Xie and the Warriors as opponents in the finals. Everyone has forgotten that this is only the Western Conference Finals. There is also a Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference. Not beaten yet.”

Charles Barkley was a little ashamed, because he had indeed predicted that the Warriors would advance before, but now this situation was unexpected for him. Barkley said: "I said at the time that the Warriors would beat the Lakers without any suspense because Xie did not show his ability. In terms of layup and save ability, he once again surprised everyone. It turned out that he could dodge three or even four people in the air and then successfully layup. It turned out that he could also send out the ball while flying out of bounds. Wonderful assists, even from other Lakers, plus Ci Shiping's career reimbursement, this gives the Lakers the leverage and motivation to compete with the Warriors. I want to say that the Warriors' performance is not bad, it's just that the Lakers' performance is better. Our imagination is better, and I really don’t dare to predict Game 7.”

O'Neal also said: "I agree with what Charles said, you can predict a series, but you cannot predict a certain game alone. In this game, anything can happen. A weak team may have a great feeling and win. No one can tell which team is stronger. But I think it’s a bit too much to regard this game as a championship battle. The Cavaliers just didn’t meet opponents of the same level, so they didn’t perform as well as the Warriors or the Warriors. With such an outstanding performance by the Lakers, they are by no means an opponent that you can easily defeat if they reach the Finals. People should not forget that even if the Warriors or Lakers reach the Finals, they may not win the championship."

Kenny Smith did not agree with O'Neal's words, "I have no disrespect to the Cavaliers. LeBron James is great, and Irving and Love will definitely cause a lot of trouble to their opponents. But for now, I can't help but put seventh This game is regarded as a championship game. After experiencing such a great series, I can’t think of any reason for them to fail in the finals. I don’t dare to predict who will win in Game 7, but I dare to say who will win. Whoever wins Game 7 will win the championship."

The host interjected: "Xie said he would retire after winning the championship. If according to you, if the Lakers win the next game, then Xie will really retire? Oh my god, there are people like me who are not ready to accept his retirement. ? And Stephen Curry, he also said emotionally, if he retires after being reversed by Xie again, will they both leave the league at the same time? Steve Kerr led the Warriors for three years and let the Warriors lose for three consecutive years. The Warriors have become the benchmark team in the league, but they haven’t won a championship for three consecutive years, so he should leave by then, right?”

Smith nodded and said: "If the Warriors lose to Xie again, Cole will definitely leave, but he is one of the best coaches in the league! By then, I think the Warriors' Big Four will also separate, and Stephen Curry will retire. Xie He's going to retire, and my God, if the Lakers win, it's going to be a disaster for this league."

Everyone looked at each other. The outcome of this final game of the Western Conference Finals will have a great impact on the league. Even if the Lakers lose, no one knows whether Xie Chen will choose to stay with the Lakers or leave. Maybe Xie Chen will do something to make everyone happy. An act of surprise.

In short, the outcome of the seventh battle is crucial!

The day before Game 7, which attracted worldwide attention, the Lakers and Warriors were training in their respective training halls.

Everyone on the Lakers is very serious. Luke Walton is the busiest one. He has watched the video of these games countless times in the past two days and analyzed all the tactics the Warriors may adopt and what they may encounter in Game 7. He is confident that he can easily adapt to the problem in Game 7, but whether he can win or not depends on the players. After all, the Lakers no longer have any secret weapons, and the one who is best at fighting for foul balls has also lost his career.

Compared with the seriousness and seriousness of the Lakers, the Warriors are very different from their previous state. They have been extremely serious and cautious since they led the Lakers 3:1. The team forced themselves to not relax at all, and they did not expect the result. It was still tied by the opponent.

When it came to the battle of life and death, Coach Cole treated his disciples less seriously. It was rare for the players to see Coach Cole smiling all day long, chatting and laughing with every player, and even talking about things that were not about the game.

In the Warriors training hall, Ian Clark came over and said to Kevin Durant: "Have you noticed that something has been wrong with the coach these past two days? He was very serious before, but after losing to the Lakers on the court, he became less nervous. "

Kevin Durant has experienced several coaches and naturally understands Cole's mood. He patted Clark on the shoulder and said: "On the one hand, Cole doesn't want us to be nervous. He wants us to play Game 7 in the most relaxed state. On the other hand, if he loses the next game, he may leave the Warriors."

Ian Clark looked panicked: "Is he going to be fired? No, he is a good coach. Even if you lose, you can't blame him. You should..."

When Clark said this, he didn't dare to say anything further. It's not the coach's responsibility, it's the players' responsibility. As the team's ace, Durant must bear the biggest part of the responsibility.

Seeing Durant lower his head slightly, Clark asked: "Kevin, if we really lose the next game unfortunately, will you... also leave here?"

It was obviously impossible for Durant to confide such an important decision to Clark easily. Although he knew that Clark was not anyone's spy, he was asking purely from the perspective of a good friend. In fact, Durant himself did not know what he would do when the time came. What a decision.

He came to the Warriors to win the championship. Since he can't win the championship, why is he still with the Warriors? However, Xie Chen said that he would retire after winning the championship, so Durant will wait and see, first to see if Xie Chen can beat the Cavaliers to win the championship, and if he does win, then to see if Xie Chen will fulfill his promise and retire.

If Xie Chen really retires, Durant will decide whether to stay with the Warriors. In that case, Durant is still more likely to stay with the Warriors. Without Xie Chen, there will be no one among the Big Four of the Golden State Warriors. enemy.

In addition to the Lakers training facility and the Warriors training facility, there is also a basketball stadium in Los Angeles where many NBA stars gather. The players here are also active players, and they are even more luxurious than the Warriors.

LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Carmelo Anthony, Westbrook, Harden, Hassan Whiteside, Karl Towns, Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine... they are all gathered here.

A few people split up and played three-on-three. After playing for a while, they rested on the sidelines. Except for James and Irving, everyone else had been eliminated. They were enjoying their vacation in Los Angeles and didn't want to be too tired.

James and Irving don't want to play too hard because they have to prepare for the finals. In fact, James and Irving have worried the Cavaliers' senior management and coaching staff a lot during their outings in the past few days before the finals. They want to send bodyguards to look after them 24 hours a day. They felt at ease. A small accident could affect a season's hard work. The Cavaliers would be nothing without James and Irving.

Harden said: "What do you think the Warriors and Lakers guys are like now? I really want to go see them."

James responded: "You'd better not disturb them. The next game is very important for them. I heard that you deliberately went to the Warriors training facility to lure KD into doing a layup in the air. Harden, Aren’t you and him brothers?”

James and Harden have never been a good match. In contrast, James and Durant were friends who often trained together in the past few years. Durant made a decision similar to James, but former brothers Durant Everyone accused him of breaking up with him, which made James, an outsider, unable to stand it. He believed that Durant was as sincere a brother to Harden as he was to Wade Bosh, but Harden deliberately framed Durant and was still present. While watching Durant being slapped in the face by Xie Chen with a smile, James felt that this guy was going too far.

Harden did not answer James' question directly, but instead brought the topic to James, saying: "LeBron, why are you and Kyrie Irving the only ones here in the Cavaliers? Your whole team should come to Los Angeles because the first game of the Finals will be held." Performing here, by the way, you haven’t won in the playoffs yet, right?”

James did not feel embarrassed, "Yes, no one has beaten him in the playoffs, but I am still very happy. At least we are qualified to play against him every season."

Harden suddenly felt ashamed. No matter whether he was in the East or the West, Harden could not meet Xie Chen in the playoffs. To put it bluntly, he was not strong enough and was not qualified to reach the finals and Western Conference finals. Naturally, No chance to see Xie Chen in the playoffs.

Wei saw the two of them talking to each other, and stood up from his seat and said: "Let us pray that Xie can win together. Although we are very sad for him, everyone knows one thing. If Xie is still in this league, , no one can win the championship in the past few years, and Xie also refuses any help from his thighs, so we don’t even have the chance to win the championship with him as his teammates.”

There are all superstars in the league here, and most of them have a good relationship with Xie Chen, but no one wants to have all the light taken away by Xie Chen alone. Westbrook’s words made everyone, including James, silent. language.
