The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Curry bowed his head for a long time and didn't lift it up.

Thompson squatted directly on the floor.

If it weren't for the real experience, they might not be able to imagine the scene where they led by 30 points in the second half and were reversed.

But the reality is cruel. The Pelicans played an incredible quarter and a half.

The fans at the scene stared in disbelief.

When the Warriors led by 30 points, they still fantasized about the team's reversal, but now that the game is over, their dreams have also been shattered.

"God, this team is incredible!"

Barkley was amazed in the commentary booth.

"Yes, Shaq is right, they just completed the biggest comeback in the playoffs, and their hunger for a championship exceeds that of all other teams."

Smith also echoed.

He had checked the information just now.

In the history of the playoffs, the Pelicans were the first team to complete a reversal after falling behind by 30 points.

pelican!The team has created another record that belongs to them.

The Warriors, who must win, did not win in the end. This Pelican team is much stronger than they expected!

Even before, many people thought that the Rockets lost 1 to 4 because they did not perform well. They didn't know that the Rockets had tried their best until they watched the Warriors.

After all, they are the only team that has beaten the Pelicans so far in the playoffs.

The game is over, and the two sides have a final handshake.

Green didn't play, he didn't participate, he was going straight back to the locker room.

At this moment, Jokic suddenly reached out to Green and made an action that Green did during the game.

bye-bye!

Shy Serbian, this is giving back to Green what Green did to him!

And this bye-bye gesture is much more lethal than when Green did it before!

Green was very angry, dragging the wound on his testicles, grinning in pain but helpless.

The Warriors lost a lot tonight.

Curry was not in the mood to say hello to the Pelicans, and left after a simple handshake.

Thompson only exchanged a few words with Tang Tian before quickly walking back to the locker room.

After he won the championship last year, he "screamed" to Tang Tian for a while, but now it seems that it's too early for him to do so.

Tang Tian and Harrell attended the press conference after the game.

Tang Tian scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, the best performance in the game.

Harrell scored 8 points and 8 rebounds as a surprise player, including 3 offensive rebounds, and his performance was quite eye-catching.

Sweeping the defending champions, plus the Pelicans making it to the finals for the first time, these are enough for fans to chat with Tang Tian for a while.

It was here that Tang Tian made a joke when answering the reporter's question.

"I believe what Green said is right, they still have a chance to come back to us 5-4."

This stalk comes from after the Lakers were swept by the Spurs in the 12-13 season, many fans said that the Lakers can still come back 5-4.

Because history has been changed by Tang Tian, ​​this stalk no longer exists, this is the first time he brought it up.

The reporters in the audience froze for a moment before realizing it, and then couldn't help laughing.

This ridicule really doesn't matter.

Green was behind 0 to 2 and clamored for a 4 to 2 comeback. Tang Tian didn't respond at the time, and it was really lethal to mention this after the Warriors were eliminated.

After all, the game had already been concluded, and everything he said was right.

After the Pelicans swept the Warriors, the fans' comments on social media have also been fried.

"73 wins total...runner-up in the West."

"The Pelicans swept the Warriors, the Rockets may become the biggest winner, the manual is funny"

"It's really miserable, breaking the regular season record but being swept in the Western Conference finals, the Warriors are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame!"

"The worst thing is Green, who loses and loses, and becomes an orphan warrior, and Jokic's bye-bye gesture, my God!"

"Actually, Green is very lucky. This kind of encounter would be autistic and even depressed for ordinary people, but Green has a thick skin..."

"No, no, Green still believes they can come back 5-4 (￣_,￣)"

"Haha, the Pelicans are really strong. They were able to come back after falling behind by 30 points in the second half. I am really convinced. This year's championship is definitely theirs."

"Where do you put my emperor when you say this? Cavaliers champion!"

"The Cavaliers played very well this season, but looking at the results of the Big Three Rockets and the 73-win Warriors, you said this because Liang Jingru gave you the courage?"

"I don't listen, I don't listen, my emperor is the championship!"

"This year's finals is definitely the most interesting finals in the past five years. Don and LeBron's grievances should also be understood!"

"My emperor must win! The knight must win!"

"Pelican Championship!"

……

While fans were discussing the results of the Western Conference Finals, they were also discussing the upcoming Finals.

Although the Cavaliers are only 3 to 1 against the Knicks now, their promotion to the Finals does not seem to be a big problem.

As the fans mentioned on social media, the grievances between Tang Tian and James made the finals very interesting.

And after two years, the Chinese elements returned to the finals, and this year's league's overseas ratings will definitely increase dramatically.

The Pelicans took a special plane back to New Orleans the next day.

Because they have home court advantage against all teams, they can also recharge their batteries in New Orleans and wait for the final opponent in the finals.

And another good news for them is that even if the Cavaliers eliminate the Knicks in the next game, the finals will not be played until those three days.

At that time, Davis has a high probability of making a comeback.

The Cavaliers have fierce offensive firepower, and the Pelicans have not taken it lightly these days. Stevens pays attention to training the team's defense.

It's been a tough journey for them to get here from the beginning of the season, and now it's the last step, and they can't relax.

The Pelicans are preparing for the game, and the fifth game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks is also in Cleveland.

Despite the away game, the Knicks still showed momentum. At the end of the half, they turned away and led the Cavaliers by 8 points.

But in the second half, an obvious point was that the referee's penalty was biased towards the Cavaliers.

The strength of the Cavaliers is stronger than that of the Knicks. After this deviation, the Knicks will soon be unable to withstand it.

The Cavaliers played a 20-4 offensive and directly ended the game.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Knicks 122 to 106 at home, eliminated their opponents for the second consecutive year, and reached the finals.

Their opponent in the finals was the Pelicans, which had previously ended the series.

Not long after the fans watched the second season of the Pelicans, they were able to see the peak match between the Cavaliers and the Pelicans.

All eyes.

8 Chapter [-]: The King's Landing, The Emperor's Coronation

The finals are about to start, and experts and the media have started to predict as usual.

The result is surprising. Almost everyone is optimistic about the Pelicans this year.

"LeBron and his Cavaliers are strong, but the Pelicans are clearly the stronger and better team."

O'Neal was outspoken on the TNT show.

"I can't find any reason for the Pelicans to lose the Finals. The Cavaliers are at most close to the Warriors, and the Pelicans swept them."

ESPN columnist Kyle Pelton analyzed it this way.

"It might be tough, but the Pelicans will win, and that's a fact for all to see."

FOX Sports columnist Jason Whitlow used this description when analyzing the news section.

It's not just the media. In the fan voting before the game, more than [-]% of the fans believed that the Pelicans would win the final championship.

In the score prediction, 4 to 1 is considered the most likely score.

When the Pelicans won 74 wins, fans were shocked and felt that there was a lot of luck.

But following the strength of the playoffs, their thoughts completely dissipated.

The Pelicans are strong, simple as that.

The finals are about to start, but there is bad news for the Pelicans.

Davis' recovery has been slower than expected and he will miss Game [-] of the Finals.

I don't know if it's because of this. When the outside world is optimistic about the Pelicans, the odds of the Cavaliers are lower than that of the Pelicans when the bookmaker gives the odds for the opening game.

On June 6, US time, the opening game of the finals officially kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

There was a huge crowd of people at the scene, and commentators from various countries were also in place immediately.

Not only in the United States, but also in China on the other side of the ocean, as well as the whole team, countless pairs of eyes gathered on this game.

Because they are in different divisions, the two teams played against each other twice in the regular season, and the Pelicans won both.

But the regular season is just a regular season, and such a game does not have much reference value in the finals.

Which direction will the finals of the two sides go? The opening game is the most important.

Davis did not play as he said before the game, but he still came to the bench in a suit to cheer for his teammates.

After warming up before the game, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of both sides were also released one after another.

For the Cavaliers, Irving, James and Love played together, plus Mozgov and JR Smith.

If you want to say that the changes in the Cavaliers after Lu coached are to completely liberate the team's offense, Smith also replaced Shumpert as the team's starter.

In the regular lineup of the Pelicans, Aminu continued to replace Davis as the starting power forward.

Mozgov beat Jokic in the jump, officially kicking off the finals.

Irving came up and used Mozgov's pick-and-roll to break through Jokic, hit the basket and scored a layup.

Tang Tian shook off Smith's emergency stop and pulled back.

Looking back, James received Mozgov's breakthrough and forced the basket, causing Aminu's thug foul.

"The Cavaliers played smart and focused."

As Kenny Smith said in the commentary, the Cavaliers knew that Davis couldn't play, so they grabbed the Pelicans inside to play at the beginning.

In the last game of the Western Conference Finals, the Pelicans' 30 reversal was earth-shattering, but the impact of Davis' absence on the inside is also visible to the naked eye.

This point was caught by Lu Ge, a tactical genius.

Tang Tian took advantage of Aminu's pick-and-roll to make an emergency stop in the mid-range before advancing.

The Cavaliers' offensive firepower is fierce, but the Warriors are really a bit too poor in defense.

However, this beautiful goal was blown by the late whistle, and the referee signaled Aminu's mobile cover.

There were boos at the scene.

The whistle came too late.

The first few rounds became the epitome of the whole game.

Tang Tian's condition was as good as in the Western Conference finals, but the Cavaliers' attacking inside style of play kept them from falling behind.

And the most important thing is the home court of the Pelicans, but the referee's whistle is obviously inclined to the Cavaliers who are playing away.
