I stole James

Chapter 240
In this round of the match between the Cavaliers and the Pacers, after the Cavaliers scored 3-0, in the fourth game, the Pacers no longer had the heart to resist.

After all, there has never been a 3-0 reversal in history.

So the Cavaliers easily swept their opponents in the first round and advanced to the second round, waiting for their opponents in this round, the Bulls or Celtics.

The game between the Bulls and the Celtics was fierce. The two teams are currently tied 2-2. It is really hard to say which team can advance.

The Heat also advanced 4-0 in the East. The 76ers failed to pose a threat to the Heat.

There is only one team in the West that swept 4-0 to advance, the Suns. In the face of the crazy offense of the Suns, the Grizzlies still couldn't resist and lost.

The Suns' opponents in the next round, the Mavericks or the Rockets, are also in a 2-2 battle.

The other groups of matches are currently 3-1, the Pistons and Wizards, the Spurs and Nuggets, and the Sonics and Kings.

It can be said that the strength of the teams in the upper half of this year is still very strong, and basically they have achieved a leading edge. It seems a little difficult for the teams in the lower half to counterattack.

After the fifth game of each team is over, except for the two groups that the Cavaliers and the Suns are waiting for, the other groups have ended their first-round contests.
The Pistons beat the Wizards 4-1 to advance.
The Spurs beat the Nuggets 4-1 to advance.
The Sonics beat the Kings 4-1 to advance.

After the Heat swept the 4ers 0-76 to advance, Wade called James that night, and his voice was full of excitement.

"LeBron, it was a great first-round sweep." Wade waved his arms on the phone.

"It's not bad. You have improved this year compared to last year. You have gone further in the playoffs. It's the second round." James said with a smile.

Wade was stunned for a moment when he heard what James said. This guy throws knives. Last year, it was the Cavaliers who knocked them out in the first round and failed to advance to the second round.

"Wait, we will sweep all the way, including you." Wade said with puffy cheeks.

"The Pistons are not easy to deal with, you have to be careful."

"No problem, we will step on the shoulders of last season's champion and become this season's champion." Wade said confidently.

"You're so confident!" James joked.

"Of course, self-confidence comes from strength." Wade reached out and rubbed his face. He learned this trick from James. It would be nice to join us in the finals."

"The strength of their team is a bit difficult to enter the finals. They need to introduce other players."

"That's right, the management of the Nuggets is too useless." Wade said with deep empathy.

"Your team has a cunning guy like Riley in charge, so naturally you can make a lot of big deals."

"Hey, let me tell you, my relationship with Riley is very good. He told me that he will make me the core cornerstone of the Heat's long-term team building. So I will not be traded by the Heat. It feels great to stay with the Heat," Wade said with a smile.

"Yeah, just listen to what the team management says. Don't take it too seriously. These guys basically say one thing and say another thing behind their backs. Maybe they just talked to the players on their team. I said that I would never make a deal, so I turned around and announced that the deal has been reached." James said with a sneer.

He knew that Wade would be cruelly sold to another team by the Heat in the future. At that time, Wade had already become the soul of the Heat.

"No, Riley is very good, he treats me very well, he won't treat me like this." Wade said firmly, "As long as I play well all the time, I won't worry about a trade happening. "

"Well, I hope so." James also stretched out his hand and rubbed his face. He really has no confidence in the NBA team management and the league's top management. To put it bluntly, these guys are the faces of businessmen. Under the premise, the words can be sweeter than honey, and the smiles are brighter than chrysanthemums. When the interests change, they can immediately turn their backs, and the NBA is just a business. This sentence is the essence of the league.

However, he also knew that Wade was in the midst of his horseshoe disease, so it would be difficult to get into Wade's heart when he said these things, so he didn't say much.

Talking between friends can sometimes be clicked. Otherwise, if you have to force your point of view to the other party, it will easily lead to a deadlock in the relationship.

……

……

When the Heat have already started the second round with the Pistons, the opponent the Cavaliers are waiting for has finally been decided.

The Celtics and the Bulls fought seven games, and finally eliminated the Bulls to advance to the second round and became the opponent of the Cavaliers in the second round.

This season, the Celtics traded Antoine Walker, who had played for the team for many years, from the Atlanta Hawks. Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce, the "Celtics" Gemini" can play together again.

Coupled with Gary Payton who joined from the Lakers, in terms of player reputation, the Celtics can be regarded as forming the "Big Three".

In the second round, the Cavaliers faced the Celtics led by the three of them. Oh, this team also had Ricky Davis, the former team leader of the Cavaliers, but now he is still sitting in the Celtics team. On the bench of the Humans, he has not yet emerged from the bench to become a starter.

Before the game, various experts and commentators analyzed that the duel in this group is very interesting, it is a very young team against a more experienced team.

You must know that among the Celtics' starting five, three of them are about to retire.

Except for Gary Payton and Antoine Walker, as well as their starting center player Riff LaFrentz, they are all old guys.

But this time, not many people underestimated the Cavaliers because they were young. After all, those who thought they were not good because of their youth in the last round and the regular season had already been severely slapped in the face by the Cavaliers.

In this round, the predictions of the bricks and commentators are quite consistent. They think that the Cavaliers will win.

However, the game may not end until the sixth game or even the tie-break. After all, experience is still very important, although young people are more aggressive.

In addition, when most people are optimistic that the Cavaliers will advance, Skip still insists that he sees James’ bad attitude day after day, and firmly believes that the Celtics will be promoted in this round. The Celtics are a wealthy team with championship background.

In this regard, James just wants to say, crown you Mei, and the team with me is a giant.
