Super all-around point guard

Chapter 896 The Third Battle!
The Lakers led the Cavaliers by 2:0 in the start of the Finals. On the Internet, the Lakers' current support rate for winning the championship has also risen to as high as 90.00%. For a team with only one superstar, facing the opponents of the Big Three, it is unimaginable to have such a high support rate.

But the Cavaliers will obviously not sit still, and the contempt for them from the outside world has also greatly stimulated their pride. LeBron James was swept by his opponent once in the 07 Finals, and he is still being used to blackmail him.

Kyrie Irving is also very motivated. The outside world criticized Irving and Love as the two children next to James. They entered the finals for the first time and could not provide any help to James. Irving has entered the playoffs every year in the past few years. He has fought with Xie Chen until the end to decide the winner. How could there be no progress!
As for Kevin Love, he was belittled to be even more useless, and some commentators even went to the point of ignoring him as a giant. Love has been scolded as a "soft guy" and "pseudo-giant" in the past two years, and he has not taken off this label in the past few years.

Cleveland, Quicken Loans Arena.

Although the team fell behind 0::2, the enthusiasm of the Cavaliers fans has not diminished. It is not uncommon for them to lose two games in the finals before tying. Besides, they have the Big Three, so they can still look forward to it.

"It's been three years in a row. Xie has come to this arena to prevent us from winning the championship for three consecutive years! I thought he went to the West, and I would never meet him again in this year's playoffs. I didn't expect him to break through in such a tragic situation in the West! This guy is simply terrible!"

"No one can stop him! Every city he visits is a nightmare for local fans!"

If the fans of each team are asked to select the opponent they most want to meet, Xie Chen must be on the list, because Xie Chen is the most popular and everyone likes him.

When Xie Chen played against the Cavaliers in the playoffs in the second year, there were still many Cavaliers fans who said that they finally met Xie Chen again, and this time they wanted revenge or something, but in the third year, they dared not say such bold words, revenge is not so easy to repay.

In the two days before the start of the game, Xie Chen was the focus of discussion among all Cavaliers fans. When Xie Chen finally appeared in the Quicken Loans Arena again, the fans booed and cheered, excited and fearful.

The Cavaliers, like the Warriors, have been defeated by Xie Chen year after year and hate Xie Chen very much. However, the Cavaliers fans are not as crazy as the Warriors fans hate Xie Chen. The rumors that Xie Chen went to the Warriors were heard before.

After Xie Chen played, he found that in addition to the support of the superstar spectator team, there were also many Lakers fans. They probably thought that Xie Chen might not be able to return to the Lakers' home court to play again, so they all rushed to the away game to support.

In the away game, for Xie Chen, the only difference is that there is an extra legendary team challenge, but fortunately, there were not many legendary knights in the past, so the knights in the past two years are a little more difficult to deal with. If you are lucky enough to meet the knights from a few years ago or more than ten years ago, it will be a slap.

Xie Chen is very confident in this away game, and James also has strong confidence in Xie Chen's away game because he discovered a pattern.

"As long as it is an away game, he will always shoot a three-pointer as soon as he comes up. Even if it is a super-long three-pointer, he will take it resolutely whenever he has the opportunity, as if he is afraid that he will not have a chance to shoot in the future. Today, he will definitely do it again!"

James said to Korver: "You must be close to him at the beginning. Xie will definitely shoot a three-pointer. Even if you are two steps away from the three-point line, don't slacken.

"No problem," Korver agreed.

And Xie Chen was thinking at this time: "When playing the Spurs and Warriors away, because I was afraid of losing my ability in the middle of the legendary game, I used Curry's three-point ability as early as possible, but what am I afraid of playing against the Cavaliers? How can the Cavaliers have such a strong legendary team? There is no need to take the risk of shooting three-pointers today."

James would never have thought that Xie Chen didn't want to do this tonight...

After the opening, James and Tyronn Lue have been waiting for Xie Chen to shoot a three-pointer. They have already set up a net and are waiting for Xie Chen to come.

Tyronn Lue thought to himself: "When the Lakers played the Spurs and Warriors away, they used consecutive crazy three-pointers to beat their opponents, but they didn't do it when they returned to the home court. LeBron's analysis was correct. As soon as he came to the away game, Xie would do it. Now that we know your routine, we won't lose to you again."

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle, Tyronn Lue is very confident in tonight's battle!

However, Xie Chen's first attack caught them all by surprise.

Xie Chen resolutely broke through Korver, without any intention of staying outside the three-point line. Whenever he had a chance, he directly made a mid-range shot. The ball was even stepped on the three-point line to shoot.

James frowned a little. This is not right. Xie Chen should pursue three-pointers at the beginning. In fact, if he insisted on shooting three-pointers in this attack, he could have a chance to shoot, but as soon as he had a shooting opportunity, he immediately shot.

Obviously, one offense doesn't mean anything, and the Cavaliers still plan to defend against Xie Chen's three-pointer.

Xie Chen touched the ball two steps away from the three-point line this time, and Korver still stepped forward to stick it tightly.

"I didn't expect my three-point defense to be so tight this time." Xie Chen was also a little surprised. He didn't intend to shoot a super long three-pointer. He quickly accelerated his breakthrough. As soon as he broke through to the three-point line, LeBron James quickly raised his hand to cover Xie Chen's three-pointer.

"Don't let me shoot a three-pointer at all!" Xie Chen was a little surprised. Seeing James coming, he immediately noticed that Luol Deng ran to the right corner and there was an open space. Xie Chen hit the ground and passed the ball. The ball passed under James' crotch and ran directly to the right corner.

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene!
Another crotch-piercing ball!The last time I played Tristan Thompson, it was thrown in directly, and this time it was an assist.

James also felt that Xie Chen should be ready to shoot, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to react so quickly and pass the ball in this way.

After Luol Deng received the ball, he made a steady hit!
"Wrong, wrong! Completely wrong judgment!" James gradually realized that Xie Chen didn't want to start the game with a crazy three-pointer. If he played according to his away game against the Warriors and Spurs, he would not pass the ball.

James was also teased by Xie Chen a little, the ball went through his crotch, James looked at Xie Chen helplessly.

Xie Chen smiled at James and said, "I didn't hit you with the ball this time, don't look at me like that."

James replied: "You are really an unpredictable guy."

"To each other." Xie Chen replied, "But I can understand you after the game."

There was something in Xie Chen's words, and James could tell that the two hadn't had any private communication in the past two days, so James deliberately "targeted" Xie Chen in the last match, but it was actually an act to protect Xie Chen, and Xie Chen probably saw it.

James showed a gratified smile, and felt that Xie Chen and Xie Chen had more and more tacit understanding as friends. It was really not easy for the two to repair this relationship after humiliating each other and publicly tearing each other up.

The knight is not going to predict what Xie Chen will do in advance anymore, he can't guess it at all!

In the first quarter, Xie Chen still led the team to the lead, which put even more pressure on the Cavaliers.

"If this game is won by the Lakers again and the score is 3:0, then the Cavaliers really have no hope at all. LeBron can't reverse the 0:3 situation like Xie did back then." Harden gradually felt that this season was about to end.

Westbrook nodded in agreement and said, "If this game is lost, I'm afraid Xie will really pursue a sweep, and he won't even have the chance to return to Staples. Frankly speaking, LeBron James has played well in the past few games, with 40+ in the first two games. Tonight is probably fine, but Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love have provided him with too little help."

James is also a little angry. No one on the Lakers can defend himself, but the problem is that he is not a player like Xie Chen. He cannot dominate the offense from beginning to end. The other giants must take action to ensure the Cavaliers win.

Seeing James like this, Owen and Love felt uncomfortable.

In the second quarter, Kevin Love finally broke out!
Many people don't know that in the summer of 2016, Kevin Love went to Park City, Utah for special training.Losing to Xie Chen for two consecutive years, and being criticized for two consecutive years, Love has heard enough. Since leaving Minnesota, Love has not been brilliant once, so he came here.

Park City has a higher altitude, which is very good for strengthening physical exercise. Love has been training here all summer. At the same time, Love also found a senior expert to train himself. This person is called Willis.

Willis played 21 seasons in the NBA, tied with Robert Parish and Garnett for the most in history. When Willis was selected, James was not yet born. When James reached the finals for the first time, Willis was still playing in the NBA. Love admired him for his ability to maintain a high level of competition for many years.

Willis told Love that he had to eat "iron" into his body to make himself an iron man, and he had to constantly polish his body. Under Willis' guidance, Love's physical condition was much better than last year, with a higher intensity of physical confrontation and more decisive shooting.

When James and Xie Chen were not on the court, Love started his performance. First, he scored consecutive points in the interior. He played very toughly and could send the ball into the basket even under physical confrontation.

If he is only a threat inside, it's not difficult. The reason why he can become a giant is because his outside is also very scary.

Soon, Irving and James played, Kevin Love got a lot of outside shots, Irving broke through and gave Kevin Love the ball!James broke through and gave Kevin Love a three-pointer!
The Cavaliers quickly overtook the score!
Love has already scored 20 points in a single quarter!
