Chapter 295 It's easy to win the championship!
"LeBron, the opportunity you've been waiting for has finally come, and we all hope you win." Wade raised his glass and touched James.
Before the start of the finals, the Banana Boat brothers gathered together, not only to celebrate for James to enter the finals again, but also to cheer him up and hope that he can beat the Thunder team led by Ye Hao.
As brothers, they all knew how much James wanted to defeat Ye Hao.
Paul then said: "Judging from the lineup, your lineup is more experienced, and you can win."
James nodded and said, "Well, as long as I can win and win the championship, I can leave Cleveland without any guilt and play with your team. I really look forward to this day coming soon."
Anthony asked a bit puzzled: "It's just that, if that's the case, you can lead the team to win the championship by yourself. Do you still need us?"
This question made James a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
Yeah, if he wins the championship, will he leave Cleveland?
Isn't it just to win the championship, isn't it just to defeat Ye Hao, that's why you want to leave?
It's not because I really want to play brother basketball.
So, if he beat Ye Hao this year and won the championship, what reason would he have to leave?
There seems to be no reason to leave.
When James avoided embarrassment by drinking, Wade answered the question for James: "Of course he will. Think about it, how wonderful it is for us brothers to play together and dominate the league. We will To be the most legendary duo ever, to win several championships together, so what's wrong with that?"
James raised his head, nodded vigorously in agreement with Wade's words, "Yeah, what's wrong with that?
How happy it would be if our brothers could play together.
Sometimes we don't just play for the championship, it's also important to have fun playing. "
Paul muttered softly: "Why do I feel that this sentence is a bit like Howard said?"
James shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who said it, as long as it makes sense.
Don't you think so?
The few of us can play together, first of all, we will dominate the league, and secondly, we can work together to make some business arrangements, which is very beneficial. We can earn a lot of money, which is more than the money earned by playing. Much more. "
Wade raised his glass and said, "Yes, come on! Let's toast LeBron to the Finals! I hope to see you hit the ground running!"
"Cheers!" Several people raised their glasses together.

Before the finals, Ye Hao gave a speech in the locker room.
"Before the start of this season, I told everyone that our goal for the season is the championship.
Now we have finally entered the Finals, although we stumbled, it was a bit thrilling to go in the Western Conference Finals.However, we still made it to the finals, just one step away from our season goal.
Now, what we have to do is to take another step forward and lift the O'Brien Cup that is already in front of us.
Isn't it simple?
I don't know how you feel, but that's how I feel anyway.
The championship is such a simple matter.
It doesn't get any easier!
We've all beaten the defending champion Lakers, so the championship trophy should be ours.
If we fail to do so, it will be a joke.
Do you want to be a joke?
We desperately defeated the defending champion, is it just to enter the finals to help others win the championship?
Anyway, I can't.
If you don't want to be a joke either, just go ahead and do it.
We all beat the Lakers, what can the Cavaliers count?
That's just a dish, it's just a dish served to us.
So, what do you say? "
After Ye Hao finished speaking, Durant said loudly: "Yes, the Cavaliers will not be our opponents, and the championship must belong to us!"
"Yes, the championship! The championship! It must be ours!" The Thunder players shouted in unison.
The morale is bursting, and the self-confidence is bursting!
………………
………………
The first two games of the Finals were played at the home court of the Thunder.
Because their regular season record is better than the Cavaliers, they have home court advantage.
Barkley and Kenny Smith, who are familiar to the fans, are still in charge of the live broadcast commentary.
Penguin Sports is also the one that broadcast live in China, and the partners are Director Zhang and Yang Yi.
These two pairs of partners were unanimously optimistic that the Thunder would win the final victory.
They also made predictions for the big score in the series respectively.
Barkley believes that the Thunder can win the championship with a big score of 4 to 1.
Director Zhang believes that the Thunder will fight the Cavaliers in six games, and finally win the championship with a big score of 4-2.
Both Yang Yi and Kenny Smith believe that the game will enter the tiebreaker, and the Thunder can rely on their home court advantage to win the final championship.
As for which of them can predict correctly, we will not know until the end of the series.
On the scene of the arena, there were no empty seats in the arena, and the outside of the arena was also full of people.
Now, the entire Oklahoma City is as lively as a festival.
The team just moved to Oklahoma City and reached the finals in the first season. What an exciting thing this is.
It's simply too cool to stop.
You know, in Ye Hao's previous life, the Thunder reached the Finals for the first time. It was not until the 2011-2012 season that they gathered Durant, Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka together. Finally broke into the finals.
But they were brilliant only once, and after that, the four young masters walked away and scattered, anyway, they would never go back to the finals.
This also shows how difficult it is to reach the finals.
It will be even more difficult to win the championship.
But in Ye Hao's view, winning the championship is really a very simple matter.
Because of the most difficult level, defeating the Lakers, they have already passed.
This is like the math test of the college entrance examination. The second-to-last question is the most difficult. If the second question is solved, then it is safe to get a high score?
Maybe some people think that Ye Haoya, the finals have not even started yet, so he thinks that the Cavaliers can be easily defeated by them so quickly?
But Ye Hao is qualified to drag it, so he did it.
It's not like he hasn't beaten James before, at the Yanbei Olympics, in the regular season, in the All-Star game...
After all, James is just his defeated opponent. Why is he not confident that he can win the Cavaliers?
What's more, a qualified ball monster is supposed to be arrogant. He looks upwards, and those who fail to reach his line of sight will not be seen by him.
The first game is about to begin, and players from both sides have already appeared on the field.
But the audience was still chanting Ye Hao's name crazily, shouting MVP!
Wade, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, puffed his cheeks and said to Paul: "This guy has probably become a god in Oklahoma City. This shout and popularity are too exaggerated. I am not so popular in Miami. "
Paul nodded and said, "Yeah, I didn't enjoy such a warm shout in New Orleans."
Anthony didn't speak, but shook his head, indicating that he was doing the same in Denver.
The starting players of both sides have already played, and the game is about to start.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup is: point guard Maurice Williams, shooting guard Delonte West, small forward LeBron James, power forward and center with Zajunas Ilgauska The twin towers composed of Ben Wallace and Ben Wallace.
The Thunder team is: point guard Dragic, shooting guard Ye Hao, small forward Durant, power forward Ibaka, center Varejao.
The two sides jumped the ball, and the Cavaliers jumped to the ball and took the lead in attacking.
Mo Williams took possession of the ball, pushed it forward, and immediately passed the ball to James on the left wing, and James went to play the first ball.
James singled out Durant, and Durant's thin body was obviously too much for James. He was carried by James and pushed in, then turned around and scored.
"Strike! Beautiful!" Wade stood up and applauded James.
"LeBron is facing KD. He has a physical advantage and can be strong. He can always grasp this point to play." Paul said.
Looking back, Ye Hao advanced with the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
From beyond the arc, on Delonte West.
He feinted easily, changed hands under the crotch, changed direction, and then pulled back, directly shaking West a little bit without knowing the direction.
He pulled up from outside the three-point line and made an easy three-pointer.
Anthony said: "LeBron has an advantage over KD, but Ye Hao also has an advantage over Delonte, and the advantage is even greater. The Cavaliers may be a bit difficult to deal with."
Wade said: "I think they can use LeBron to defend Ye Hao. After all, his defense is better, and he will also have a size advantage in the siege. LeBron is always stronger than Ye Hao."
Wade's statement was soon practiced by the Cavaliers. After two or three rounds, James came to defend Ye Hao himself.
It's impossible not to defend, because Ye Hao has already made 3 three-pointers, and he has scored all the points for the Thunder in the opening game.
The Thunder are 9 to 4, leading the Cavaliers by 5 points.
The Cavaliers called a timeout, and after returning from the timeout, James personally switched to Ye Hao.
The Thunder also made a substitution adjustment, replacing Tony Allen with Dragic.
Tony Allen came up and was responsible for defending against James.
Ye Hao stepped up to the point guard position, and Durant oscillated between shooting guard and small forward.
Carlesimo said to Tony Allen: "You just need to be responsible for staring at LeBron, and you don't have to worry about anything else. Whether he has the ball or not, follow him closely. If you are tired from running, I will run again." Replace Sean with you."
In short, the Thunder team will take turns to stare at James on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he personally defends Ye Hao and is led around by Ye Hao.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Thunder had already led the Cavaliers by 8 points.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers were almost killed by the Magic's three-pointer tactic.
Unexpectedly, after entering the finals, the Thunder's three-pointer came again.
And the Thunder's three-pointers are only stronger than the Magic's three-pointers.
There is Ye Hao, the new three-point leader, sitting on the team, as well as Durant, Battier, Dragic and other players who can shoot three-pointers.
You know, Ye Hao led the team to practice three-point shooting in his first season in the league.
The Cavaliers attack, the ball is in the hands of James, and Tony Allen is in front of him.
Ye Hao is always ready to help defend the flank attack from the side.
Durant is also ready to help defend.
As long as James breaks through to the basket, they will resolutely double-team.
Their strategy is to force James to shoot, but not let him break through easily.
Of course, James can also choose to pass the ball. If he passes the ball, the Thunder will make up the defense in time.
James did not pass the ball and chose to break through, wanting to force Tony Allen.
It's just that he took a step forward, picked up the ball, and pushed Tony Allen away like a bulldozer.
With a snap, the basketball in his hand was knocked off by Ye Hao who moved over quickly.
Ye Hao, who successfully steals the ball, takes the ball and turns around, which is a fast break and counterattack.
Running to the basket is an easy layup.
Mo Williams simply couldn't keep up with his speed.
Wade, Paul and Anthony on the sidelines looked at each other and couldn't help shaking their heads.
This is so f*cking, it's simply crushing, how can you fight this?
There is someone on the Thunder who can defend against James, but no one on the Cavaliers can defend against Ye Hao.
Even if James came to defend in person, Ye Hao could still use his nimble footwork and speed to pass James.
Once the Cavaliers choose to defend Ye Hao, Ye Hao's pass is given to Durant, Ibaka or Varejao, and they all have the ability to shoot.
One-on-one, James was watched by Tony Allen and Sean Battier in turn, Ye Hao went to the point guard to watch Mo Williams, Durant went to defend Delonte West It's also OK, even if Ibaka and Varejao cancel each other out with the Cavaliers' Big Z and Big Ben, the Thunder still have the advantage.
In this way, the Cavaliers are really passive.
After the first quarter, they were 10 points behind the Thunder.
Back in the second quarter, James continuously used his threat to attract the Thunder's defense, sent assists to his teammates, and helped the Cavaliers chase points.
After chasing the point difference to only 6 points, they couldn't stop.
Ye Hao fired from the outside again and scored two consecutive three-pointers.
The point difference returned to above double digits again.
Wade puffed his cheeks and said, "Oh, let's just watch the second half and see if there is any improvement."
Paul said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, so we really only have the option to play together."
Anthony nodded, "When we go on vacation in the summer, we have to think about it carefully. Ye Hao is probably not something we can win alone."
