Chapter 716 716. The third match that must never be let go!
Time flies, on June 6th, the third game of the Lakers and Cavaliers finals.
When the Lakers swept all the games before the finals for the second time in team history, Liu Ren knew that their time had come.
This is their era. Liu Ren felt the feeling of controlling everything in the basketball world. He knew that the moment of making history was coming.
In the first game of the Lakers' home game against the Cavaliers on May 5, Liu Ren went berserk. He scored 31 points in a single game and used his inside defensive advantage to put pressure on Irving. On the other hand, Antetokounmpo blocked James at the free throw line. The outer area is to prevent James, who is lighter than last year, from entering the interior. Even if James has improved a lot this year, his long-range shot will never be a conventional weapon that he can kill opponents.
With Green, the best defensive player who walks outside the three-point line, and the center with the strongest blocking and rebounding dominance in the league today, the Lakers showed terrifying oppression from the defensive end from the beginning.
On the offensive end, the Lakers' inside advantage was so strong that it exploded. When the Cavaliers' best center, Mozgov, was not as good as the Lakers' backup center, Monroe, people knew that the Cavaliers had completely missed the inside. During the regular season, Mozgov Goff has nothing to do with Gasol and Monroe.
The Lakers hoarded a bunch of insiders this year for this moment. Last year’s Finals was purely an accident. The Cavaliers were injured all over the place. The pressure brought by the team's inside line is still great, so the Lakers took advantage of Whiteside's basic salary and collected a bunch of centers, just to take advantage of the inside line when they played against the Cavaliers in the finals.
The playoffs are a place where the insiders win the world. The Lakers' powerful insiders have brought them a huge advantage in this year's playoffs.
The Lakers have Whiteside, Monroe, Gasol, and Biyombo take turns at the basket. Green is the defensive core at the power forward position. Antetokounmpo can also reach the power forward when Clarkson or LaVine is on the court. Position up to act as the defensive core.
Both offensive and defensive ends, the Lakers crushed the Cavaliers!
This time the Lakers didn't use any means, they just crushed the Cavaliers for real!
Even in the first game, the Cavaliers played a very good performance under the leadership of James' strong strength, and they did the best on the defensive end, but they were really weak against the Lakers' offense. , but no match for the gap in strength.
Liu Ren scored 45 points in the first game, leading the Lakers to beat the Cavaliers 98-89.
By June 6nd, the Cavaliers' desire to win an away game is not as great as the first game. They want to go back to Cleveland, especially the role players. This year Irving and Love are back. , They still feel so powerless against the Lakers.
The suspense in the second game was lost quickly. After three quarters, the score had reached 78 to 55. The Lakers led the Cavaliers by 23 points after three quarters.
There is not much suspense, and the Cavaliers were not given a chance. The Lakers defeated the Cavaliers relatively easily in the two home games and ended the first two home games 2-0.
……
Before the start of the third battle, Liu Ren stood up and spoke in the locker room.
Usually he would not take the initiative to take on this job, but this time he wants to do it, and he wants to convey his belief and confidence to every teammate.
"Today is the most critical game of our entire finals!"
"We're going to be the final champions, there's no question about that."
"And the Cavaliers will not let us take away this victory so easily, because as long as we win this victory, they will basically bid farewell to the championship, so they will definitely play very hard!"
"But! We can't lose this game, even if we lose one game in this finals, we are a failure!"
"So, if someone loses today's game because someone didn't perform well, just leave next season. I don't need losers as teammates."
Liu Ren is obsessed with winning the playoffs this time. Of course, if he achieves this glory, his confidence in himself may have a qualitative leap. This is very important for a basketball player, but If it is not completed, it may become a permanent knot in his heart.
Kobe felt a little headache when he saw Liu Ren who frightened his teammates so much with just one word.
This kid is domineering enough, why did he become paranoid like my old Ke back then?At this time, there must be pressure, and there must be comfort!
But Kobe obviously didn't see that Liu Ren had something to say to appease them, so it was his turn to come out to appease these young men.
Thinking of Kobe, I couldn't help laughing. When did I, Kobe, become the active person? Didn't I always play the role of Liu Ren in the past...
Kobe's laughter seemed so abrupt in the unusually quiet locker room, Kobe took advantage of his own laughter and said, "That's right, all those who can't play well today will be traded away!"
Depend on!Even Kogiro said so!
A group of people became even more nervous. If this kind of tension came to the court, it might have the opposite effect because it was too tense!
"But there is one exception." Bryant continued.
Who is that lucky?If you play well, you don't need to be traded away?A group of young men looked around, and finally their eyes stayed on Gasol, because the sister-in-law had a non-tradable clause.
"CJ, don't look at it, I'm talking about you, if you don't play well today and we lose, you don't even think about starting for the Warriors, keep playing as a substitute." Kobe joked.
"Pfft...hahahaha..."
It turned out that Kobe wanted to be funny to relieve the tense and embarrassing atmosphere of the scene after a long time.
"..." Liu Ren looked at a group of teammates who couldn't help laughing, and the pressure he had finally gathered all dissipated at once, expressing that he was speechless.
Kobe saw Liu Ren's thoughts and called Liu Ren aside.
"Liu... Let's call you boss, Dangdangdang, isn't it very satisfying? This blacksmith calls you boss. Sometimes, it's good to put pressure, but you also have to give a space to release the pressure, otherwise it won't work if it's too tight. , Don’t look at them laughing now, they listened to what you said.” Kobe educated.
"..." Liu Ren expressed that he was not satisfied with being called boss by Kobe, but he was satisfied when Kobe called him a blacksmith.
Liu Ren glanced at his teammates. Although they started chatting and laughing again, the atmosphere was a little different. Unlike after the two big victories, everyone was a little slack. It seemed that the boys started to focus.
