NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 240 Heading to Oakland!
Back in Los Angeles, the Lakers were treated like heroes.

Hundreds of fans held banners and shouted slogans at the gate of the airport to welcome them.

In order to sign autographs and group photos for these fans, the players spent an extra half an hour.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Tian returned to the apartment where he lived.

The team has no training plan today, so he can relax for a day.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Tian turned on the TV on time, and he wanted to watch G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Eastern Conference will produce a Finals team between the Cavaliers and Raptors.

Their first battle would have been intense.

This night, the starting lineup sent by the home team Cavaliers is: Irving, jr Smith, James, Love, Tristan Thompson.

The Raptors' starting five for the away game are: Kyle Lowry, DeRozan, Patrick Patterson, Carroll and Biyombo.

The two sides played very fiercely from the beginning.

James has a habit of not rushing to attack at the beginning, and always handing over the ball to Love and Irving.

Owen began to show his coquettish excellence.

Although Kyle Lowry, who is facing him, is the second head of the Raptors, he is only 1.85 meters tall and has no advantage in speed, so he can't guard Irving at all.

Patrick Patterson couldn't stop Love's offense either.

On the Raptors side, the first main attacker was a little uncomfortable being defended by JR Smith.

Jr Smith is 31 this year and is at his peak. He is currently a standard 3D player in the Cavaliers.

In terms of perimeter defense, jr Smith is extremely good, and his feet are fast, so it is difficult to pass!And his attitude is also very correct.

Such a Smith, it is hard to imagine that he was sent to the Cavaliers by the Nuggets as a head.

In fact, in addition to jr, the Cavaliers also have several strong perimeter defensive players, such as Shumpert and Dellavedova.

James didn't attack much in the first quarter, and the Cavaliers have slowly opened up the point difference.

At the beginning of the second quarter, James began to exert his strength, and the point difference was also widened.

However, after the start of the second half, the Raptors opened up their three-pointers, and the point difference was gradually narrowed.

Lin Tian thought that the suspense of this game would last till the end,
Who knew that in the fourth quarter, James started not to talk about martial arts, and frequently hit the inside line.

Several inside players on the Raptors side pulled and pulled, but it didn't affect him too much. Instead, they always sent him to the free throw line.

Perhaps it was because James was anxious because he couldn't prevent him. Biyombo, who had always been at odds with James, had a conflict with James in the fourth quarter.

The players on both sides almost started fighting, but fortunately, the referee stopped it in time.

Biyombo was furious, and in the next few offensive rounds, he singled out the Eight Sage Kings consecutively, and even succeeded.

This scene made Lin Tian dumbfounded.

Biyombo is indeed a very smart player, he is obviously not so active in the regular season.

You know, Biyombo's regular season data averaged only 5 points per game!

Today he has scored more than 10 points, and he is still facing the Cavaliers of the Warriors James.

On the stage of the playoffs, every second of a player's appearance is extremely precious!
Their attention is much higher than in the regular season, and some characteristics will also be magnified.

Biyombo's performance in this round of the series, if nothing else, will allow him to get a 4-year 7200 million contract during the offseason!

And that contract will become a relatively famous junk contract in the future.

When the fourth quarter was over, the score between the Cavaliers and the Raptors was also fixed at 105:84.

The Cavaliers beat the Raptors by 21 points and won G1.

Although Lin Tian already knew that there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, he still benefited a lot from watching this match.

In this life, the Cavaliers' lineup has changed slightly. They lack Channing Frye, a stable big shooter.

But judging from the strength they have shown so far, the lack of a Channing Frye has little impact on them.

They have basically locked a place in the finals.

And another spot will be born between the Warriors and the Lakers.

In this game, James easily scored 24 points, Irving scored 26 points, and Love also scored 20 points.

The Big Three of the Cavaliers are not in vain. The three of them shot more than 60% today!

Among them, James made 13 of 11 shots and his shooting percentage was as high as 84%!

It can be said that the Raptors have hardly been able to restrain them at all.

Compared with the three Cavaliers who scored 20 points, the Raptors were miserable. None of them scored more than 20 points.

Among them, DeRozan got the highest score with only 18 points.

Lowry felt cold today, being entangled by jr, Shumpert and Dellavedova one after another, shooting less than 30% and scoring less than 10 points.

After watching this game, anyone who understands the ball can basically be sure that the Raptors are not capable of defeating the Cavaliers.

Lin Tian had nothing to do and finished the post-match interviews between the two sides before turning off the TV and falling asleep.

The next morning, the players got on a special plane to Oakland again.

As soon as the players got together, they couldn't wait to chat.

"Guys! Can you recommend any fun nightclubs in Auckland?" Nick Young asked with a smile.

Hearing his words, Kobe frowned: "Nick! Your joke is not funny! We didn't come to Oakland to go to nightclubs!"

"I know! Kobe, I think everyone seems a little nervous, just joking with everyone." Nick Yang chuckled.

Howard said: "As long as the Warriors dare to sacrifice five dead! I will kill the Quartet in their penalty area!"

When he was on the defensive side, what Howard hated the most was that the opponent sent a small lineup, which would make him exhausted.

However, when he is on the offensive side, his height still has a great advantage. Just by using his height advantage, he can score easily.

Kobe shook his head: "Don't think of the Warriors' death five so simply! Chasing Dream Green is not high, but don't forget! His efficiency in defending big centers is actually not bad, not to mention that he was a dpoy candidate last season.

Howard curled his lips and said nothing more.

Lin Tian turned on his tablet and asked everyone, "Did you watch the game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors last night?"

All the players nodded one after another. It was hard for them not to pay attention to such an important game.

"The Cavaliers have half-stepped into the Finals! But I don't think we need to be afraid of them." Nick Young tidied up his hairstyle.

"Forget it, Nick! Let's pass the Warriors first." Channing Frye smiled wryly.

The other players also laughed wryly.

The ridicule is ridicule, what they have to admit is that the current strength of the Warriors is unique in the entire league.
