Chapter 114 The first game of the finals 2

The game between the two sides passed a quarter in a fierce process in a blink of an eye. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Lakers 23-20 at home. The shooting rate of players on both sides is not so high in the first quarter. This is entirely because the defense of both sides is excellent, and everyone is very desperate to defend each ball, which is also the reason why the score will be so low in the first quarter. The intensity of the finals is completely different from that of the general competition.

It is completely different in terms of attitude alone. In the regular season, the vast majority of players did not take this kind of game seriously. Especially a rich team like the Lakers. But once they get to the playoffs, it will be different, especially in the finals. They will pay all their attention to the defensive end, and on the offensive end, they will also do their best to constantly cover up for their teammates. Everyone shows their role on this stage and is no longer useless.

Such a score is not low, and it is not high. But for these two teams, it is very low. After all, the strength of the two teams is there, both superstars, and the configuration is also very perfect. So logically speaking, the first quarter of the game is the most relaxing moment for both sides to play the whole game, so now the score is indeed relatively low. However, although the score is very low, there is no doubt about the highlights.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, there was no match between James and Kobe, which made many fans very disappointed. What they want to see most is the opposite position between the two. However, the whole series is just the beginning, and there is still time. So they are just a brief disappointment, and they are also looking forward to the next game. This game is the home of the Cavaliers, and almost all the fans at the scene are Cavaliers' fans.

And in the first quarter of the game just now, as long as the Cavaliers' players successfully scored the ball, it was a shocking cheer. The Lakers' players booed when they scored the ball. Whether it was a goal, it was the same as a free throw. Home advantage, this is one of the home advantage.

"This intensity of the game really consumes physical energy. I just played the first quarter of the game, and I actually felt breathless. It's really exciting and tiring. At this time, Huang Jun, who was sitting on the bench and rested, said. Originally, he thought that the intensity of the final stage would be very high, but even if he thought it was overrated before the game, he finally underestimated the intensity of the stage. It was only the first quarter of the game, which made him feel a feeling of fatigue. What if he played the whole game?

"In fact, the finals are not as tired as you said. In this way, you are not used to such intensity at all, and you have not adjusted your physical condition. That's why you have such a feeling, otherwise why do people talk about the experience of the finals? This is what takes time to accumulate. This is just the first finals of your career. I think the first time I entered such a stage was like you. But I got used to this intensity in the second half of the first game, and I believe you will soon get used to it." At this time, James explained.

In the eyes of outsiders, their Cavaliers have very little experience in the finals. Except for James, his teammates and Iverson's experience in the finals that year, no one else has such experience. In particular, Huang Jun, the key player of the team, has no experience in this field at all, which is also the difficulty that the rookie must cross. If this difficulty can't be overcome, then there will be no foothold on this stage, and it will definitely be extremely sluggish.

After listening to James's words, Huang Jun was silent. He didn't say anything because he was thinking about how to adjust his physical condition. As James said, his body is not ready for such an intense game at all. So taking advantage of the current rest time, he feels that he must make some adjustments in this regard. At least before the first half, adjust your physical state to the most powerful state. Otherwise, their situation in this game will be very bad. Although they are temporarily in the lead in the score, it is only a temporary lead. Usually, the first quarter is warm-up.

Especially the second half is the real start of the game, so now he must hurry up to adjust. In the back row of the team's bench, there was a yellow-skinned Chinese, Zhao Jie. Because Li Qiuyun was pregnant, Zhao Jie did not let him come to the scene. It was obviously extremely inappropriate for the pregnant woman to come here. Besides, people don't like basketball, so there is no need to bring her out. There are certain risks in bringing it to such a place, so Xing Lizhen and Li Qiuyun did not come to the scene to cheer for Huang Jun.

At this time, Zhao Jie was very excited, not only because this game was his first time to watch the game live, but also because the intensity of the game really made him very excited. Even if he didn't go to the game and just sat off the field to watch the game, he felt that his inexplicable blood was boiling. This feeling made him very excited, but he also knew that now he could only be hot-blooded off the court. However, he believes that he can step on such a stage one day.

In the second quarter of the game, the Cavaliers left James and Huang Jun on the bench, and the core players still had to rest when it was time to rest. Especially now, if you don't take a break now, if the game really comes to the second half, you may not even want to take a break. So Brown was very smart to let his main player choose to rest at this time. The same is true of the Lakers. Kobe and others did not appear on the field at the beginning of the second quarter, which also made Brown secretly relieved. If Kobe was on the field now, his team would not be his opponent at all.

It is Iverson and Big Z who will lead the team on the court. Now Iverson's position is basically fixed. That is, when his main player rests, give Iverson unlimited fire, so that he can lead the rest of the players to fight against the opponent on the court. Although Iverson is old, after coming to the Cavaliers this season, Iverson is in a very good state. He can score at least 18 points for the team in every game. In addition to scoring, Iverson also performed very well in assists, averaging about five assists per game. And all of this is done in a limited time.

"brush" Iverson's change of direction, followed by a backward jump shot against the defensive player, successfully getting two points for the Cavaliers again, which is already the tenth point he got in the second quarter. Such a stage makes Iverson very hopeful and eager to win. Under this mentality, Iverson's performance did not have any negative impact, but was full of motivation. In just three minutes, Iverson had won the team's 10th place in the second quarter. In addition to the two in the first quarter, he has scored 12 points and three assists at this time.

The first quarter was originally led by the Cavaliers. In the second quarter, coupled with Iverson's outbreak, with Iverson's goal just now, the Cavaliers have led the Lakers by eight points at home. Although such a difference is not big, at least it is a hard-won gap for knights. Phil Jackson did not call a pause when he saw this situation at the first time, but stood up at the first time and roared at the field. If his player doesn't have any good performance in the next time after this roar, then he will call a pause adjustment in the next time.

Next, the Lakers players, I don't know if they were out of state by Phil's roar. In the next two minutes, they hit three points in succession. In just two minutes, they successfully chased the difference to only four points. This performance also satisfied Phil on the sidelines. Although the player did not turn the situation around on the field, such a performance was enough for him. As long as the next main player comes on the stage, the matter of overtaking will be handed over to your main player. The task of the substitute player is to keep the score difference.

Sure enough, in the next dead ball time, both sides changed their main players. Iverson on the Cavaliers' side took a break, and James Huang Jun and others came on the field. Shannon Brown and others on the side of the Lakers took a break, and Kobe Gasol and others came on the field. Now there are still seven minutes before the end of the first half. These seven minutes are also the key, and it is not critical. It depends on how the players on both sides play and how they are in a state. If they are in a bad state, then the second quarter of the game is a key turning point.

If the two sides are still like the first quarter, then the key quarter of the game is in the second half. The second half of the game will be a suffocating duel, and no one dares to relax. So now the players of every team like to successfully open the gap in the next seven minutes and give others time to breathe in the second half.

Forty-three to thirty-six, the Cavaliers temporarily led their opponents by four points at home. Next, the Cavaliers' player, Huang Jun held the ball and looked calmly at the defensive player Zeng Yi on the opposite side. The number of matches between the two in this game is only three times, and now it is the fourth time. Zeng Yi did not play once on Huang Jun's head, while Huang Jun played twice. In the opposite position, Huang Jun is dominant.

Continuous skill dribbling, with a little shaking, constantly changing the direction of the breakthrough route. Zeng Jin couldn't guess the other party's breakthrough route at all, and his eyes focused on every action of Huang Jun. At this time, he did not dare to have any points at all. He knew that once he was distracted, the next moment was when the opponent dribbled the ball, and he would not have time to defend at all. You will be given a step by the other party.
