The Fifth Point Guard

The Cavaliers defeated the Heat at home and took a 1-0 lead.

After the game, Stan Van Gundy also praised the Cavaliers' performance.

"They have a great head coach and many very good players. We actually had a chance in this game, but they always made the right decision at critical moments. We need to sum up this game well and strive for the next one. The field can bring the score back.”

The day after the Cavaliers and Heat game, the Suns and Spurs also had the first game of the Western Conference semifinals.

After a fierce battle, the Suns lost to the Spurs 114-121 and overturned at home.

The Suns still maintained the lead at the end of the first three quarters, but were completely stunned by the Spurs in the fourth quarter, who scored 43 points in a single quarter.

Regular season MVP Steve Nash contributed 29 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists. Stoudemire scored 41 points and 9 rebounds. Jim Jackson also scored 20 points and 8 rebounds.

But "Hacker" Sean Marion performed abnormally. He made 1 of 6 shots in the game and only scored 3 points and 9 rebounds.

For the Spurs, the GDP combination performed brilliantly.

Tony Parker scored 29 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals, Tim Duncan scored 28 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists, and Manu Ginobili had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

In addition, Brent Barry on the Spurs bench performed well. He made 5 of 8 three-pointers in this game and scored 21 points. He was the main contributor to the Spurs' comeback in the fourth quarter. He made a shot in the fourth quarter. He scored 4 three-pointers and contributed greatly to the Spurs' reversal and victory.

Two days later, the Cavaliers played another game against the Heat.

In the second game, the Heat played more targeted.

In the opening game, O'Neal's inside line was still the main offensive point, and Eddie Jones was firmly used as the fort on the outside line. Wade frequently came in and out, as a player who connected the inside and outside lines.

In this way, the Heat established the "O'Neal-Wade-Jones" offensive axis, and the entire offense was much more orderly than in the first quarter.

When O'Neal encountered a double-team, he also moved the ball as quickly as possible to prevent the ball from being stolen by Cavaliers players.

In this case, the Heat turned away in the first half and led the Cavaliers by 8 points 50-42.

In the second half, the Cavaliers suddenly resorted to the long-lost shark-killing tactic.

O'Neal made 8 consecutive free throws and only hit 2 goals.

During this period, the Heat's game rhythm was disrupted, and the Cavaliers took the opportunity to hit three consecutive three-pointers by Miller, James, and Shentong, coupled with Wagner's breakthrough layup, and played an 11-2 wave. climax.

The Heat had no choice but to temporarily replace O'Neal, who had an unbalanced mentality.

Mourning's majesty is still there, but he is indeed unable to do what he wants.

The Heat's inside deterrence has dropped sharply.

Big Z and Gooden gradually began to take advantage in the interior, and STO and James' breakthroughs were more efficient than in the first half.

When the Heat sent O'Neal back on, the Cavaliers had gone from being 8 points behind to 10 points ahead.

In the fourth quarter, with Miller's precise three-pointers and Shentong's post-up singles, the Cavaliers kept the point difference at 8-10 points.

The desperate Heat adopted a full-court defense tactic. Before halftime, Wagner was double-teamed by Damon Jones and Wade of the Heat.

The Heat's tactical changes caused them to hit a 6-0 spurt, closing the gap.

Paul Silas sent Snow and asked Shentong and James to take on part of the dribbling, successfully breaking the Heat's full-court press.

As Shentong broke through to the basket and passed James successfully for a jump shot, the Cavaliers sealed the victory.

104-94, the Cavaliers took a 2-0 lead and won two consecutive home games!

In the first two games, judging from the scene, the difference in book strength between the Cavaliers and the Heat is not large, but in terms of handling key balls and transferring the ball, the Cavaliers have a certain advantage.

This is of course due to the roles of Shentong and James.

After the game, Van Gundy faced reporters and said: "Thank God, we can finally return to Miami to play. I hope that in the next games, we can play one game at a time, win the home game, and then take 2-2." The score comes back here.”

O'Neal, who scored 29 points and 16 rebounds and made 4 of 13 free throws, expressed his opinion, saying: "I want to practice free throws when I go back and train my shooting touch. In fact, during training, I made a free throw." The rate has always been above 50%, and sometimes it can reach 70%. Today's free throws were a little abnormal, but when we return to Miami, we will return everything we have endured here intact to them."

Wade, who was almost beaten by STO on the court, looked serious after the game. He simply said, "Let's see you in Miami" and boarded the bus without looking back.

The third battle can be described as thunder and fire!

The Heat also have a group of very passionate fans.

Amid the strong cheers at home, the Heat played the most exciting first half of this year's playoffs.

O'Neal and Wade even completed an alley-oop dunk against each other!

The Heat established a 15-point lead in the first half and ended the first half 63-48.

The second half started with two consecutive shots from Shentong.

However, the hole the Cavaliers dug in the first half was too deep. Even if they regained their touch in the second half, they were unable to overtake the score.

103-113, they lost to the outstanding Heat in the first game on the road.

O'Neal contributed 33 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in this game.

Wade also scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

Although STO scored 30 points in this game, there was insufficient support from other players.

James, the second leader, only scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, while Wagner scored 12 points.

In the fourth battle, both sides used all their strength.

Shentong broke out completely in this game, using all kinds of martial arts skills.

In the first quarter, Shentong mainly used breakthroughs and distribution to open up the Heat's defense, while helping teammates find their touch.

Every time he saw Shentong rushing in, O'Neal always waited with all his strength, but failed time and time again. Instead, his own defense was torn to pieces by Shentong's sudden breakthrough.

In the second quarter, Shentong strengthened its personal offense.

After a breakthrough, Shentong easily completed a layup in front of O'Neal.

"Hey, buddy, what are you doing? Why don't you put some pressure on this ball? Are you just going to watch him play?" Wade couldn't help complaining to the big brother.

O'Neal spread his hands and said helplessly: "I see that he has been breaking through and scoring the ball. Who knew that he would score by himself if he broke through."

“Focus your attention and don’t take anything for granted!”

O'Neal did not answer, with his hands on his hips, his eyes showing dissatisfaction with Wade.

Even if it's your own problem, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson.

What's more, you haven't reached Kobe's level yet!

In the third quarter, the Heat resolutely double-teamed Shentong who was playing well.

But STO's basket is so accurate.

If you advance, you can use the screen of your teammates to find a gap and shoot a jump shot directly; if you retreat, you can hold the ball on the baseline and hit Wade with his back when his teammates open up the space.

The suspense was lost before the game was over.

STO scored 45 points in this game.

111-95, the Cavaliers achieved a valuable away victory.

It was also from this game that a word about the relationship between Shentong and Wade began to spread.

"Eating, sleeping and torturing Wade" has become the standard for STO in this series.

With a score of 3-1, the Cavaliers returned home.

Since the big score in the conference finals on the other side is also 3-1, and the team with the match point is playing at home, the focus of the world is who can eliminate the opponent 4-1 at home and advance to the finals.

In the much-anticipated game, Shentong showed his style as the leading scorer.

He made 20 of 30 shots, including 6 of 9 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 55 points.

With high scores and such efficient scoring efficiency, the Heat simply don't have players who can compete with them.

102-90, the Cavaliers ended this series 4-1 at home, winning the Eastern Conference championship and entering the NBA Finals for the first time in history!

When the referee blew the final whistle, the stadium and outside suddenly became a sea of ​​joy.

People celebrated the hard-won championship.

Although it is only the Eastern Conference championship, this is an honor that has never been achieved in the history of the Cavaliers.

Just one step away from the championship, Cavaliers fans around the world had a sleepless night.

Major website forums are full of news and topics about the Cavaliers defeating the Heat, winning the Eastern Conference championship and advancing to the finals.

As soon as the game ended, O'Neal, Wade, Jones and others returned directly to the locker room and refused any media interviews.

Stan Van Gundy said helplessly at the post-game press conference: "We thought that Shentong's 45-point performance in the last game would never happen again, but we didn't expect that it was just Shen's warm-up. Today, Shen Tong gave a good performance." We learned a lesson."

After Van Gundy praised Shentong, he also did not forget to cheer up his team.

"This is only our first season of running in. There are many aspects that still need improvement. I believe that with our playoff experience this season, we will achieve better results next year."

Paul Silas, who is also the coach of the team, does not hesitate to love his disciples.

"Shentong is the kind of star who you will feel God is caring for you if you meet him in your coaching career. His performance no longer requires me to explain more. I want to say that Shentong's performance tonight It's awesome, you can't ask for more from him. In addition, LeBron, Dajuan and others played very well. We defeated strong opponents and won the Eastern Conference championship, but this is not the time for us to relax. , greater challenges await us.”

"We are only one step away from the championship."

The Suns, who were in the first half of the season, were severely beaten 4-1 by the Spurs.

The Spurs proved with their victory that in the playoffs, only teams with stronger defense can win.

At the same time, they can also play at a faster pace.

In the five games between both sides, each team scored more than 100 points, which proved that the pace of the game was fast, but the Spurs were able to hold on easily.

In the first round of the spear-and-shield contest, the Suns easily defeated the Grizzlies.

But in the second round, facing the Spurs who were like a dragon shield, the Suns failed to break the shield and were defeated by the Lushan Bailongba.

Although they lost, the entire Suns team was not discouraged.

This is only their first season together, and they have jumped from the bottom of the Western Conference to the first place in the league, so they believe that after the offseason running-in and the experience of this season's playoffs, the Suns next season will It will be even scarier.

Daidai, who won the Western Conference championship, still didn't show a happy smile.

When being interviewed by reporters, Dadai said expressionlessly: "We are only one step away from the championship."

There are still 3 days until the first game of the finals.

Reporters from China Sports News were able to enter the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers for an exclusive interview.

The strength of the Chinese consortium is beyond your imagination.

As soon as reporter Wang Jia entered the Gund Arena, he met the team's head coach Paul Silas.

"Hi Paul, hello."

"Hello."

"Paul, your team is about to play against the Spurs. I know that this is the first time you have reached the finals, and your opponent is a wealthy team with championship experience. Do your players prepare before the game? Are you a little nervous?"

Silas nodded and replied: "Indeed, many players frowned when they heard that our opponent was the Spurs, but to be honest, I was much more nervous than them. You know, this championship means a lot to Cleveland." It means something, we have too many expectations. But..."

Silas changed the topic and let the matter slip.

"But what?" Wang Jia couldn't help but ask.

"However, my boys quickly overcame the mental barrier and I am very satisfied with their performance in training recently. I believe in them and believe in myself. Although there are still a few days until the game, I feel that we have done a good job Prepared."

"There are many, many fans in China who like you."

"Thank you." Silas made a gesture of putting his hands together.

"I heard that you are very confident now, and I believe the fans should be able to relax. That's right."

Wang Jia looked around and said, "Paul, is your training over yet? Why is there no one on the court?"

Silas smiled and said: "Yes, our morning training is over. They have just returned to the locker room and are probably resting at the moment."

"Can you take us to the locker room?"

"certainly."

Silas led the way, Wang Jia waved to the photographer, and the two of them quickly followed.

Push the door and enter.

Wang Jia and the photographer were stunned at the same time.

"Toad."

"bump."

"Glasses."

"don't want."

Shentong, James, Wagner, and Varejao, the four of them are actually playing the quintessence of China—playing mahjong!

There was a circle of people around, including Big Z, Miller, Snow and others, all watching with great interest.

"Are they playing mahjong?"

Silas said: "Yes, this is a way for them to relax recently."

"."

Wang Jia couldn't believe it.

At this moment, STO's cell phone rang.

Picking up the phone, Shentong pressed the speakerphone button and said, "Hey, who's there?"

"Sister, why are you busy right now?"

"No, tell me what you want."

"Isn't Lao Shen planning to quit smoking? I'm thinking of buying him an electronic cigarette to replace cigarettes. What do you think?"

When STO was connected to the hands-free system, everyone was holding their breath while playing cards and did not dare to make a sound.

After all, he is the boss of the team.

"Very good, buy a better brand for Lao Shen. I heard from Sister Hua that Lao Shen has been in a lot of pain recently."

"Well, I've got it all figured out. It's about 400 US dollars. You and I will give it to you. When the time comes, we will give it to him together. He will definitely be happy and feel more motivated to quit smoking."

"Okay, no problem, I'll call you later, 60,000!"

STO pressed the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Qing blinked and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

God, my brother is so handsome, he wants to transfer so many to me

After a while, Shen Qing called again.

"Man, I only received 200."

"That's right, 400 to half, isn't it 200? Wait, Ma Naizi, touch!"

"Smelly brother!!!"

Shentong hung up the phone, smiled and said to Wang Jia and the cameraman: "This part is over, don't broadcast it."
