Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Beep..."

At the end of the game, the score was 123:118. The Cavaliers defeated the Lakers by 5 points and won Game 3 of the Finals.

With Clarkson missing a three-pointer in the last thirty seconds, there was not enough time left and the Lakers could only use foul tactics to send Hill to the free throw line.

Hill made both free throws, and the score difference was widened to 8 points.

Although the Lakers made another three-pointer later, there was not enough time.

In the end, the Lakers still lost the game by 5 points, and these 5 points were almost equal to the score by which the Cavaliers were leading at the end of the third quarter.

"If the Cavaliers hadn't been leading before, maybe the Lakers wouldn't have lost."

"In this kind of game, both teams are very strong. Leading by even a few points at the end is a huge advantage. Sometimes these few points are enough to decide the outcome of the game."

"Yeah, they played really well today. Whether it was LeBron or the others, even JR, their performances were outstanding. Haha, they finally found the feeling of the game. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning..."

The game was over, but the fans were still discussing it excitedly.

For the home fans, this game was too crucial, this victory was too important, and it was particularly exciting.

This reminded them of the previous Eastern Conference Finals where the Cavaliers also reversed the game after falling behind 0:2, eventually taking the series into a Game and defeating the Celtics in the Game to win the Eastern Conference championship.

So what about this time?

Will it be like the Eastern Conference Finals, where it ends up in a Game 7, and then James explodes, wins the Game 7, and wins the championship?

The home fans have already started to imagine.

......

However, things did not go as well as the Cavaliers fans expected.

Two days later, the fourth game of the finals began.

The Cavaliers were leading at the beginning of the game, but the Lakers overtook them in the second quarter and they have been lagging behind since then.

James' performance is still outstanding, but apart from him, the performances of others are average.

JR Smith is lost again. He can't play with his brain for too long. He played well in the last game, but not in this one.

He missed all his shots from beyond the three-point line, and his breakthroughs were blocked. He played in a very dejected manner.

Love's performance was also average. Although he still scored 18 points and 8 rebounds, as the team's second-in-command, such data performance is not good enough in such a game.

Even Rose, who had performed very well in the previous three games and could be considered a surprise weapon for the Cavaliers, did not perform well in this game. He made only 13 of 5 shots and scored only 12 points.

Only James in the entire team scored 28 points, plus 10 rebounds and 7 assists. No one around him could stand up, causing the Cavaliers to fall behind since the second quarter.

In the fourth quarter, James tried to help the team reverse the situation by himself, but he was no match for four people and ultimately failed.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 112:102, took the match point first, and led the series 3:1.

This game was disappointing for Cavaliers fans.

It was thought that after winning one game, the Cavaliers would press on and win another game, thus tying the series at 2:2.

The result became 1:3.

"It doesn't matter, it's just 1:3, not 0:3."

"Yes, have you forgotten? In 16, the Cavaliers were also behind 1:3, but they still managed to turn the tables and win the championship?"

Despite being behind 1:3, some fans still had hope for the Cavaliers.

在NBA的历史上季后赛0：3落后翻盘的一个没有，但1：3翻盘的还是有的，16年骑士队就做到过一次。

It's just that they seem to have forgotten.

Today's Cavaliers are not the same Cavaliers as before.

That Cavaliers team not only had the Big Three of James, Love and Irving, but also the other role players were in good competitive form. In the end, they were able to make a comeback, defeat the Warriors after falling behind 1:3, and win the first championship trophy in the Cavaliers' history.

But now the Cavaliers are without Irving, and Love is not in the same condition as he was back then, not to mention other role players.

Can this Cavaliers team complete a comeback from a 1:3 deficit?

What's more, they are not facing the Warriors team of 16, but the Lakers who can even beat the Warriors team after Durant joined.

......

China.

Men's basketball red team training base.

During this period, the red and blue teams played several warm-up matches in addition to training. The results can only be described as mixed, with some surprises but also a lot of problems exposed.

During this period, Yao Ming has been shuttling between the blue team and the red team. He pays attention to both teams and goes to their training bases and game venues.

Today he came to the Red Team's training ground.

A group of players were training on the field, and Xiao Qingyang was also there.

At this time, his teammates got the rebound and Xiao Qingyang's team attacked. After reaching the frontcourt, Xiao Qingyang and his teammates made a tactical cooperation. He received the basketball outside the three-point line on the right and shot directly. With a slight sound, the basketball went into the net.

"nice shot."

someone shouted.

Yao Ming also smiled and nodded.

......

After a while, the training stopped.

Yao Ming stood up and waved to Xiao Qingyang. When Xiao Qingyang came to him, he patted Xiao Qingyang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Not bad."

Xiao Qingyang was a little embarrassed: "Not bad."

"No need to be modest." Yao Ming said, "Your performance was very good. I saw you shoot several three-pointers just now. Why didn't you break through?"

Xiao Qingyang replied: "Because the team needs me to shoot three-pointers. We have no shortage of big men inside, but we lack outside shooters, especially stable three-point shooters. I can break through, but other people can do it, such as guards."

Yao Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right. This is the first time you have been recruited into the training camp. If you want to stand out among many competitors, you must find your own position. It doesn't matter if others can do what you can do. You have to do things that others can't do. Of course, you can do more than just three-point shooting, but the position of a three-point shooter can make you stand out in the training camp."

Xiao Qingyang couldn't help but feel delighted to receive Yao Ming's recognition and praise: "Brother Ming, don't worry, I will definitely perform well."

Yao Ming smiled and said, "I will go to Los Angeles tomorrow. The fifth game of the finals between the Lakers and the Cavaliers will start soon."

Xiao Qingyang's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Brother Ming, do you think Zhuang Yu and his team will beat the Cavaliers in the fifth game?"

Yao Ming laughed and said, "I didn't say that. The game hasn't started yet, and no one can predict it. But the score is 3:1 now. If I don't go now, what if the fifth game is the last one? It will be too late to go then."

"That's right." Xiao Qingyang felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that I can't go."

"It's okay. Zhou An can't go either."

After hearing this, Xiao Qingyang felt much better.
