Chapter 204 This is still a passer
The Suns, who are the victors, attach so much importance to this game, let alone the Cavaliers who lost and wanted revenge.

Before the arrival of this game, the Cavaliers also stepped up an extra training session.

After entering January, the Cavaliers rarely conduct additional training. After all, the schedule is almost halfway through, and the next period of time is a period of fatigue that every team will encounter.

Judging from the statistical results, most of the team's injuries also occurred during this period.

At the same time, because the team has almost run-in during this period of time, there is no need for any additional training.

But before this game, the Cavaliers conducted additional training.

It can be seen how much the Cavaliers attach importance to this game.

Or... how much LeBron James attaches importance to this game!
It can be seen not only from this aspect, but also from what LeBron James said in the interview before the game.

LeBron James had only four words about the game before the game: "We're going to win!"

But these four words are powerful!

The determination in his eyes to win the game was not concealed at all.

Looking at the posture, this game, LeBron James is almost playing as the finals!

Of course, it’s no wonder that LeBron James has such an idea. It’s really that after the Cavaliers completed the deal that made most fans complain about it in January, they did not show a posture of dominating the arena. Instead, they lost to the Suns and the Lakers.

Public opinion has begun to see them as a joke.

This immediately filled LeBron James with a sense of urgency.

He knows very well that if he loses to the Suns again in this game, the outside world's evaluation of them will definitely decline again, and even his public opinion evaluation will be affected.

After all, the Cavaliers this season can be said to be armed to the teeth. In everyone's eyes, this lineup is heading for the championship. If you can't win the championship, then no matter how strong your core player is, no matter how luxurious your statistics are, you will inevitably be questioned.

Furthermore, this is the seventh season, even if you learn from Jordan, you should win the championship!

And if you want to win the championship, then this game must be won.

Otherwise, if they met them in the playoffs with the result of being swept by the Suns, I'm afraid they would have been suppressed psychologically before they played...

In short, if you say a thousand words and ten thousand, you must win this game!
The Cavaliers are ready to go, sharpening their swords, waiting for the arrival of the Suns.

And the spirit of the Suns when they entered the Cavaliers' home court also showed that they were fully prepared to come.

The huge boos at the scene did not affect the warm-up of these guys at all. From their warm-up state, it can be seen that these guys have entered their state.

They obviously prepared well for this game!
LeBron James appeared amidst huge cheers from the audience. After his appearance, he did not interact with the audience at the scene, but directly entered the warm-up.

This attitude is like "I only have basketball in my eyes"...

It was O'Neal who came to say hello to Lin Ri and everyone in the Suns team. The last time he went back, he received enough respect, which made him have a good impression of the Suns team.

He wants to continue this relationship.

The fans at the scene were not dissatisfied because he ran to say hello to the opponent.

Although O'Neal has only been with the Cavaliers for more than half a season, he has already been recognized by the Cavaliers fans, and his running to say hello to the opponent will not affect their opinion of O'Neal at all.

After all, it is a cute "big shark"!

Speaking of which, Shaquille O'Neal has been in the league for so many years, and his good popularity is recognized by the league. From the Magic to the current Cavaliers, his love is far greater than his dislike.

This is probably why Shaquille O'Neill's EQ is repeatedly mentioned by reporters!

……

The game will officially start soon.

Lin Ri won the jump ball with Big Z.

Big z is indeed old.

The height of the jump is really not as high as a soda can.

This made him tall enough, but he still couldn't have any influence on Lin Ri.

Lin Ri gave the ball to Steve Nash.

The Suns picked up speed at the start, as usual.

However, the Cavaliers apparently did not forget Lin Ri's high-post shooting performance in the last game, so this time, they took strict precautions near the high post.

Lin Ri didn't notice at the beginning that the defensive focus of these guys was on him. According to his initial thinking, he should be able to directly complete the shot.

But when he actually received the ball, he realized that the opponent's defense was in a high position as soon as he came up.

To put it simply, it was aimed at him.

Are you so afraid of my shots?

Lin Ri felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

You must know that most people in this league talk about Lin Ri's dunk ability is really great, and his shooting ability is subconsciously ignored.

Just like every dunker wants to prove that he has a good shooting ability, Lin Ri also has this idea.

However, unlike other people who shoot to prove their shooting, Lin Ri never deliberately shoots. When he chooses to shoot, he only thinks that the chance of shooting is better than the chance of attacking the basket.

Like that first game against the Cavaliers this season...

From the beginning of that game, Lin Ri chose to shoot.

Because the inside of the Cavaliers is too crowded.

If Lin Ri blindly rushes inside, the chances are not great!

Under such circumstances, Lin Ri decisively gave up attacking the basket.

Instead, he chose to frequently catch the ball in the middle distance and make shooting attacks.

The result also proved that he was very correct in doing so... In that game, the Cavaliers didn't react at the beginning, allowing him to complete a lot of easy shots.Later, even if he could react, Lin Ri, who was already playing well at that time, also completed a lot of shots one after another.

A large part of the reason why the Cavaliers lost so badly in the first game against the Suns was that their defense against Lin Ri's shooting was not in place.

Originally, Lin Ri thought that this game would be the same as the last game.Open the game with a mid-range shot.Because the coaching staff of the Cavaliers may not realize that his shooting is so tricky...

Lin Ri thinks so.

This is what the outside world has always thought of him.

But what he didn't expect was.The Cavaliers coaching staff actually noticed his shooting ability and took strict precautions from the beginning.

This accident prevented Lin Ri from making a smooth move.

However, his reaction was still very fast. After receiving the ball, he immediately threw the ball towards Ariza on the outside.

"Rattlesnake" takes the ball and throws the ball directly with very coherent movements.

"Shh!"

The ball went straight in!
The Suns' first attack started with 3 points.

The auditorium at the scene suddenly had some dignified expressions.

There was no way they couldn't help showing that look.

This is the Suns, if they let them shoot like this, is it okay?
Especially since it's a three-pointer!

In this league that has gradually begun to pay attention to three-pointers, the Suns are precisely the team with the most powerful three-pointers.

So far this season, many teams have been killed by the Suns with three-pointers!
Just say that in the game against the Wizards before the Cavaliers, the Suns made 19 three-pointers.

The three-pointer shot... It was like a heavy rain!
It was also the performance of the Suns outside the three-point line in the last game that made the Cavaliers fans so worried after Ariza hit this three-pointer.

Don't carry over the feel of the last game to this game!

If the Suns still make 19 three-pointers in this game, then the Cavaliers' estimate is hanging again...

Fortunately, LeBron James used a three-pointer at the top of the arc in the next attack to make the scene immediately burst into loud cheers.

Hit a three-pointer at the start!

That's not how LeBron James scores.

But since the goal was scored, there is only one reason: LeBron James is in a very good state tonight, and from the beginning of the game, this state has come up directly.

The "Little Emperor" was in good shape from the very beginning of the game, which is naturally the best news for the fans.

As the core of the Cavaliers, LeBron James's excellent state can give the Cavaliers greater confidence in the final victory in this game.

It can be said that LeBron James scored this goal, which made the fans in the audience relax a lot.

However, the fans in the auditorium relaxed one by one, but LeBron James kept frowning. He didn't change his expression because of scoring the goal, and his face was still tense.

He knew very well that this game had just begun, and he took it for granted to breathe a sigh of relief because of this ball. What he had to do was to maintain his current momentum and lead the team to play in a better state! !
The game continued in the following time. One thing to say, LeBron James' state tonight is really good. After scoring a goal at the beginning, he quickly hit the second goal.

This guy is just as fast as Cavaliers fans expected.

It was also in his successive goals that the Cavaliers and the Suns became a stalemate. Until 6 minutes and 45 seconds into the first quarter, the score of the two teams was still tied at 16 to 16.

"LeBron James really stood up in this game!" This is Bill Walton's thought after this moment in the game.

In fact, in the last game, LeBron James scored a lot in the end.

But those goals were not scored when the Cavaliers needed someone to score. Most of these scores were scored after the two teams had a significant point difference.

It can actually be seen from the results that LeBron James played in a state later and did not have any impact on the result of the game at all.

It was the Suns who won, and it ended with a big win.

But now this moment is different.

The Cavaliers and the Suns are still in a stalemate.

That's what LeBron James does.

"The point difference has never been widened, OMG!"

But Mike Brown frowned, he seemed very dissatisfied with the result.

Originally, in his expectation, at this stage of the game, the Cavaliers should be the leading side.

Because he thinks his defensive arrangement will definitely have an effect on Lin Ri.

But in the end, the Cavaliers and the Suns only drew a tie, which really exceeded his expectations for him!

Originally, in his opinion, after Lin Ri's shooting was restricted in this game, the Cavaliers should be able to firmly grasp the situation... What's wrong?
He didn't quite understand.

This allowed him to focus more on the research on Lin Ri in the following time.

Just now, because of his confidence in his arrangement, Mike Brown had already focused on other people, but now, he had to focus more on Lin Ri.

"Snapped!"

The ball was passed to Lin Ri at this time.

Just like many Suns' offenses just now, Steve Nash and Lin Ri hit the ball into the latter's hands as soon as they completed the pick-and-roll cooperation.

Lin Ri, who got the ball, was also blocked by the Cavaliers' defenders immediately after getting the ball.

Look!

The shooting opportunity is gone!

The Suns' offensive intentions should have been blocked at this moment!

Mike Brown looked at Lin Ri, who was obviously guarded as he expected, and said something in his heart.

So what's going on!
But at the same time that he thought the reason was not his defense, Lin Ri flicked the ball to Richardson on the outside at this time.

This pass is very lethal. Even from Mike Brown's point of view, this ball directly cut their entire defense line.

Under such circumstances, the Cavaliers also began to appear careless...

Specifically, after the outside players of the Cavaliers attacked Richardson, Ariza was completely emptied again.

To what extent is this vacancy probably...

Well, let's put it this way, Ariza adjusted for a while after getting the ball before completing the shot.

Such a calm shot time, Ariza naturally completed the goal easily again.

Another three-pointer!

This made the Cavaliers fall behind by 3 points again, and the Cavaliers became the lagging side again.

I know where the problem is!

After watching the ball, Mike Brown can be regarded as seeing the problem...

He looked at Lin Ri with complicated eyes.

This is a guy who can pass the ball! !
