Chapter 173 LeBron, you don't want to be swept away again, do you?
"Even if there is only a 1% chance, I hope to grasp it!
Help the Los Angeles Clippers and keep the championship awarding ceremony at the Staples Center.
For this, I have been dreaming for two years!
I hope that in the next week, the dream will become reality! "
"If we can win the championship as we want, I hope the league will follow my advice.
I hope the opponent in the opener of next season is the Los Angeles Lakers!
They were great rivalries, and they brought Los Angeles two consecutive championships.
As the player who witnessed the awarding ceremony of the championship ring and the flag-raising ceremony of the championship in the opening game of Staples for two consecutive years.
I hope we and our opponents can stand under the same roof again.
Witness the awarding ceremony of the championship ring and the flag raising ceremony of the championship in Los Angeles for the third consecutive year.
This is a victory for fans in Los Angeles and a victory for fans in the West. "
After winning the Heat in two consecutive away games, Lu Yi did not hesitate to set the flag in the post-match interview.
In fact, this is also the expression of Lu Yi's true feelings. Lu Yi does not want to return to Miami again.
Lu Yi just wants to sweep the Heat and be crowned king in Los Angeles.
To put it bluntly, in the opening games of the first two seasons, each time the Lakers won the championship and received the championship ring.
If the Clippers play other teams, it will not be that troublesome at all, and they don't need to be opponents, and they have to give blessings.
As a rival in the same city, Lu Yi dreamed of showing off in front of Kobe.
Now we have this opportunity. Although the championship has not yet been won, we can use the media to put pressure on the officials.
This is a good gimmick, not only will it attract the attention of the media, but fans of other teams will also join in the booing.
Most of the officials will eat this wave of traffic and be a favor.
If the official responds during this time, it will definitely not embarrass the Clippers for the ratings of the finals.
The Clippers will more smoothly take this year's championship into their own hands.
Of course, the game still has to be played by yourself.
Through this speech, Lu Yi also has the purpose of putting pressure on the Heat and at the same time adding more motivation to his teammates.
Take Ariza for example, one of the Lakers' champions in 09.
After Trevor Ariza won the championship but was lost to the Lakers, he must have the idea of winning the championship again, showing off his power in front of the Lakers, and feeling proud.
As for others, maybe Iverson is still thinking about the hatred of being taken away by the Lakers 4-1 in the Finals.
Now that he is going to the finals again, although it is not revenge for the Lakers, it is a shame.
But to actually be able to lead a Finals ring at the Staples Center and do it all in front of Kobe Bryant would be quite rewarding.
"Lu Yi, that's really good! If you are an American, if you run for the mayor of Los Angeles, I will definitely vote for you."
"Haha, I think the people who can't sleep tonight are not only the players of the Miami Heat, but also Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles."
After Lu Yi accepted the interview, he returned to the team bus with Dunleavy and others.
While the bus was driving to the airport, someone revealed the big words that Lu Yi said in the post-match interview.
The Clippers players were very happy when they heard it, some believed it was true, and some were joking and eccentric.
Lu Yi was also tired, and after joking with everyone, he quickly calmed down, and even fell asleep without knowing it.
The Clippers arrived in Los Angeles one day earlier than the Heat. At the hotel where they stayed, many Clippers fans waited early to welcome the heroes home.
When Lu Yi and others got out of the car, many fans stood up and cheered: "MVP!"
Lu Yi was not indifferent when he heard this, but smiled and waved, and then walked into the hotel quickly.
There are still two big battles to be fought, and it is necessary to recharge your batteries.
Lu Yi must take a good rest and play his best level of the year in the next two home games.
Lu Yi was tired, so tired that he didn't want to play another game.
Therefore, the next two home games must be won.
On June 6, G5 of the finals resumed.
The Heat players took the lead in playing against the boos, and there are still some adjustments in the lineup.
The Heat replaced Mike Bibby with Mario Chalmers, and the center was replaced by Big Z from Joel Anthony.
In fact, as early as the second round of the playoffs, Big Z was abandoned by coach Spoelstra because of lack of defense.
In the entire Eastern Conference finals, Big Z didn't even play for a second as a substitute. Now in the finals, he was ordered to take the lead and suddenly started the game. This is also a very bizarre thing.
It can only be said that this moment is also that moment.
Once upon a time, the Heat with the Big Three had no shortage of offense and needed players other than the Big Three to provide defense.
But not now!
Wade was restrained by Lu Yi. Although he could play, he struggled.
James himself is playing badly and has no desire to attack yet.
Bosh can play, but playing without the ball for a season, the high-intensity games of the finals, and regaining possession of the ball can only maintain high efficiency for a period of time at most.
The more the ball is left and the ball is held, the more you play, the more likely it will affect the team's operation.
To put it bluntly, with their best defensive lineup, the Heat couldn't take advantage of the Clippers in two consecutive games, and they were even beaten to no avail.
In this case, the Heat can only find another way and think of a way from the offensive end.
Speaking of the Clippers, the lineup remains unchanged.
When Boozer first played, the fans burst into thunderous applause and cheers, welcoming the hero home.
Of course, the sound wave was higher than the wave, and Iverson, who played in the finale, made the fans ecstatic.
Although Iverson's performance is not the best in the team, his continuous high-level performance over the years has won him a large number of fans.
Now that Iverson finally has a chance to realize his dream, everyone is very happy for Iverson.
As for Lu Yi, who appeared on the big axis, he was cultivated as the champion, full of pride.
This is the recognition, appreciation, blessing and even emotion from the heart.
Lu Yi is amazing. He led the outnumbered Clippers to the Western Conference semifinals last year.
This year, if you give them a little crookedness, you will be able to form a championship lineup.
Although Boozer is not bad, Iverson is still an All-Star.
But in everyone's opinion, Lu Yi is still single-core leading the Clippers to the finals.
Iverson and Boozer can indeed bring a lot of help to Lu Yi, but without Lu Yi, maybe Boozer and Iverson can't even knock on the door of the playoffs.
Lu Yi is the key to the Clippers being able to sweep their opponents in two consecutive rounds of the playoffs in the strong Western Conference.
Also in the Western Conference Finals, Gentleman Sweep has swept the key to the defending champion team.
Even if he reached the finals and has not yet officially won the championship, Lu Yi is still the top priority of the team.
If the Clippers really have a chance to sweep the Heat to win the championship, then this opportunity will not appear to others, it will only appear in the hands of Lu Yi.
Lu Yi has this ability and this magical power, which makes people believe that Lu Yi can do this.
To put it bluntly, as a rookie, Lu Yi has played in the NBA for two years, and he hasn't disappointed much.
Lu Yi set up a lot of flags in the post-match interviews, but in the end they were all achieved by strength.
The game begins, the main show begins.
The Heat replaced the big Z, which still has some effect.
As soon as Big Z came up, he helped the Heat jump to the ball.
The ball fell into Wade's hands, but Wade dribbled the ball to James.
Obviously, the changes in today's Heat are not just the adjustment of the lineup.
"LeBron, you don't want to be swept by the second team on the stage of the finals, do you?"
It has to be said that before coming to Los Angeles, Riley had a heart-to-heart talk with James, which directly woke James up.
James really thought carefully when he came to the Heat.
James knows that Wade regards him as a brother, but there are many brothers behind James, relying on him to eat.
James' salary alone is definitely not enough for his brothers.
James needs to get more things off the court, so he can't really dig out his heart and soul for his brothers on the court.
It has nothing to do with himself, James can temporarily choose to give up in order not to be the FMVP champion.
But now Riley told him something that he must never give up.
Just four years ago, James foolishly believed the old man Duncan's nonsense.
After newcomers like Lu Yi and Rose emerged one after another, James woke up and felt a sense of crisis.
Without a championship in hand, James has no sense of security at all.
Even old guys like Duncan continue to pursue championships.
He is eager for quick success, so what's wrong with holding a team to win a championship.
The problem is, he has a chance to win the championship, but he has no chance to point to the FMVP!
Just like the Celtics Big Three, no matter how well Garnett played in the finals, the final FMVP trophy still belongs to Pierce.
Wade has already picked up an FMVP in the Heat, and it is normal to pick up the second.
James wants it all, there's no doubting it.
James has been honored as king since he was a child, until he himself believed it.
But the problem now is that he is very likely to be used as a stepping stone by newcomers, and then another terrible thing like being swept in the finals will happen, and then he will be completely tied to the pillar of shame.
When the Cavaliers were swept away, he could use his youth as a cover and his teammates' lack of strength as an excuse to escape.
But now he is in the Heat, and his team is equipped with the top three All-Star veterans in the league.
They were one of the best teams in the regular season, and they didn't become the only ones, just because they didn't have enough running time and didn't completely convert their paper strength into immediate combat strength.
In the current Heat, if they are swept by a team, then any player in the Heat will have no chance to make excuses.
After all, the Clippers are a team with a mid-to-high configuration in the league and led by a second-year rookie.
Lu Yi is the No. [-] pick, and James is also the No. [-] pick.
Lu Yi is the regular season MVP, and James is also the regular season MVP.
What's the difference?
The difference lies in the first championship, the first FMVP, and I won it on your head.
It is already very serious for such a thing to happen, let alone a sweep.
James will never allow this to happen.
However, Lu Yi also has absolute belief that he must win this game and the next one.
So in today's game, the offensive in the first half was indeed very intense.
James played the offensive firepower that he did not show in the first two games, and Lu Yi also showed the ability to attack with the ball that he did not fully display in the first two games.
However, the final effect is completely different.
James wanted to prove himself too much, and then he got a little lost.
After all, James' offensive methods are not rich enough. A star who can only break through but not shoot is not worthy of the name of super giant.
Even if James can split the ball, the passing level is quite good.
But even if the Heat are equipped with more offensive points, their scoring efficiency will not increase rapidly.
It is also because of the lineup, the defensive end has declined to a certain extent, and the Clippers' offense today is more efficient and more teamwork.
Under the leadership of Lu Yi's strong attack with the ball, the Clippers played more and more like the regular season. They played more than just the touch, the team's tacit understanding, and even their self-confidence.
Playing in the finals is stressful. Although playing at home, the pressure on the shoulders of the home team players will be less.
But unlike the regulars in the Finals like the Spurs, players will not really play on the court without pressure.
In some score stalemate stages, when a role player gets the ball, he will definitely be timid and afraid to make a shot.
But today is different. Clippers players dare to operate when they get the ball.
Even if he doesn't end by himself, he dares to make a fake move to attract the defense and give the ball to his teammates.
In this way, under the leadership of Lu Yi who didn't pass the ball much, but played a leading role invisibly, the Clippers continued to accumulate advantages and slowly opened up the situation in the first half.
After the first half, 54 to 62, the Clippers at home led the Heat by 8 points, and the point difference approached double digits.
After the start of the third quarter, the Clippers took advantage of the opportunity to attack first, and Gordon, who came off the bench, made a three-pointer first, completely closing the point difference by 10 points.
In the first half of the Heat, James was the main attacker with the ball. Because the team was behind, they gave Wade a try in the third quarter.
Coach Spoelstra's actions actually meant substituting offense for defense.
Lu Yi played very efficiently in the first half, perhaps because Wade did not attack with the ball and Lu Yi spent too little on the defensive end.
The second half is the key to the outcome of tonight's game. Even if the Heat lag behind, they must take the initiative back.
Wade attacking Lu Yi with the ball is to attract Lu Yi to defend, thereby increasing Lu Yi's consumption on the defensive end and weakening the impact of the offensive end.
Coach Spoel's preparations are pretty good.
However, Coach Spoel still underestimated Lu Yi's ability and determination.
The same is the No. 44 pick, the young Iverson can play [-]+ minutes in the finals, James can also do it, why can't Lu Yi?
Insufficient physical strength in the fourth quarter, affecting the ability to score stably at critical moments?
Lu Yi said that if you don't shoot three-pointers, it's fine. At the critical moment, you can hold the ball to cause damage, so I ask you if you can prevent it?
Lu Yi's handwork at the basket is not bad, and his free throw level is also one of the best in the league. There is no need to have such concerns.
Therefore, in the third quarter, Lu Yi, while maintaining the quality of the defensive end, did not drop much in the offensive end compared to the first half.
Lu Yi just wants to spend every effort and every second to help the team establish as many advantages as possible.
In this way, Lu Yi, who played a full third quarter, helped the Clippers establish a considerable advantage.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, the Clippers, 78 to 90, with a 12-point advantage, as long as they play steadily like the last game, will most likely win three games first.
Once the Clippers really do it, it's really not far from sweeping the Heat to win the championship.
