Chapter 263 The Return
In the absence of major generals, a 1-1 tie with the Spurs was already an unexpected result.

Before the start of the third game, James' rehabilitation training was fully up to standard. There was no problem with running, lateral movement, jump shots, and dunks. The healthy little emperor is about to return.

Carlos Boozer's eye injury was not too serious in the first place, but he didn't play in the second game because of eye problems. Now he has basically recovered and is waiting for a big fight.

All members returned to the team, and the Cleveland Cavaliers also started their road trip, playing two consecutive games in San Antonio.

"Finally I can play. It's been so hard these few days." After checking into the hotel in the Holy City, James ran to Limbo's room to prepare for the evening game.

Before Ling Bo could speak, there was another knock on the door, and Boozer also came.

"You two close the door, what are you doing, hehehe." Boozer said with a smirk.

Ling Bo said: "You have agreed that one will come in with the front foot, and the other will follow behind. It would be great if there is such a tacit understanding when breaking through."

Boozer came in, lay down on Limbo's bed, and said, "Hey, I'll just follow you. I'm about to explode tonight, and Duncan can't stop me."

James jokingly said: "Your animal desire has never been shown on the basketball court. I think it is appropriate to see some places at night."

Boozer: "Nonsense, I was relaxing, not venting."

The three of them were joking, and they didn't fight in two games. Today, the Iron Triangle is back in place. These two people can help Ling Bo share too many things.

"Follow the great god, and drink spicy food." Boozer said to James with a smile.

James also smiled and said: "That's right, the Flash became a god in one battle, we just follow behind."

Ling Bo: "Then you have to keep up, if you don't have enough speed."

The time came to [-] o'clock in the local evening, and all members of the Cavaliers had entered the AT&T Center Arena in San Antonio.

"Welcome to Game 2003 of the 2004-[-] NBA Finals. I am the host commentator for this game, Kenny Smith."

TNT TV broadcasts the finals live across the United States. Today's commentary is two familiar ones, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

Kenny Smith: "Come on, before the game starts, tell me what to watch in tonight's game?"

Charles Barkley took up the conversation and said: "The biggest thing to watch is nothing more than the return of LeBron James and Carlos Boozer, and the Flash is finally not leading the team with a single core.

The return of these two people has raised the strength of the Cavaliers to a level compared with the previous two games. "

Kenny Smith: "That's right, with the iron triangle gathered, it's hard for the Spurs to limit Ling's performance. The multi-teaming and multi-person blocking tactics adopted earlier may not be applicable in this game. "

Charles Barkley: "The situation of the two teams has been reversed. With the iron triangle gathered, it becomes difficult for the Spurs to win the game.

unless"

Kenny Smith looked at Barkley with interest and asked, "Unless what?"

Barkley: "Unless, the Spurs and the Cavaliers play against each other and give up the restrictions on Ling."

Kenny Smith immediately refuted and showed the data to speak.

"Although the Spurs are strong, they are not as strong offensively as the Cavaliers. Statistics from the regular season show that the Cavaliers rank first in the league in offensive efficiency and rank among the top three in scoring per game.

You must know that at the beginning of the regular season, the Cavaliers lacked a guard and their offensive efficiency was low. It was not until the Flash returned and the Iron Triangle was established that the Cavaliers went all the way to the finals with sparks and lightning. "

Charles Barkley: "If that's the case, let's hand it to Popovich.

However, to be honest, I really admire The Flash now. "

Kenny Smith: "Because of the 60+ senior double-double?"

Charles Barkley: "Not exactly, he conquered me in the regular season. You think, who can win the regular season MVP, the All-Star MVP, the regular season scoring champion, the assist champion, the steal champion, the best rookie, the most The best defensive player, also selected for the double team?
It's no exaggeration to say that Michael Jordan couldn't do it either, and of course I couldn't do it either. "

Kenny Smith: "That's right, so who do you think has a better chance of winning tonight's game?"

Charles Barkley: "It's still a question, of course it's the Cavaliers."

At the same time, Barkley slandered: Are you trying to poison the knight with my poisonous milk?
Kenny Smith: "Although I also think so, but the result of the game depends on the performance of the players from both sides today. Whether it is the Spurs GDP at home to defend the glory of the home court, or the Cavaliers Iron Triangle's superior skills, take away A win? We'll see, the game will start soon."

As Kenny Smith's voice fell, the camera in the live broadcast room switched to the field, and the starting players of both sides had already appeared on the field.

The Spurs are still Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan, Rasu Nesterovic's starting lineup.

For the Cavaliers, the iron triangle returns, plus the regular starting lineup of Ira Newbell and Ilgauskas.

With the players on both sides in place, the Cavaliers get their first chance to attack.

There is one thing to say, even if Ling Bo is super strong, without James and Boozer by his side, there is always a tight string. Now that they are back, Ling Bo feels a little easier dribbling through the field.

In the first two games, when I dribbled the ball, I was always worried about being double-teamed by two or three people, and there was no one who could catch the ball. Today, Ling Bo is not afraid. He can catch the ball, has organizational skills, and can end the offense are back.

Now they want the Spurs to double-team him, so that he attracts the defense and his teammates have a better chance.

Ginobili is defending today, because James returned to the small forward position, the Spurs still let Bowen to defend.

Kenny Smith: "Interesting, Bruce Bowen didn't even defend the Flash today."

Charles Barkley: "This arrangement is okay. Think about it. Bruce, who has better perimeter defense, can defend the returning LeBron. This can limit LeBron. As for the Flash, a Bruce Bowen can also If you can’t prevent it, it’s better to limit LeBron and play his true value.”

Just like Tian Ji's horse racing, the best horses are against the middle horses, and the middle horses are against the bottom horses.

As expected of Popovich, one Duncan, one Bowen, this arrangement minimizes the role of the returning James and Boozer.

It's just that with Ling Bo's ability, Ginobili couldn't defend against him alone, and he broke through smoothly. James kept running, and Boozer also came out to support him.

The Iron Triangle passed the ball to each other, and finally Ling Bo assisted the moving James to make an emergency stop and hit a jumper.

A healthy LeBron is still very good, and his desire to attack today is also very strong.
