Chapter 976 Lu: Why Is This Girl so Different! (First Update!)
James ignored the reporter and walked straight towards Whiteside.
Whiteside didn't stop and was about to talk about the team's tactics when he was interrupted by James.
"Come back to the locker room with me."
Without further ado, after James finished speaking, he dragged Whiteside towards the locker room.
This scene is very similar to a child who refuses to eat after dinner time and is caught playing outside.
How could the reporters let him go? But after James came out, the security guards of the arena followed him out, separated the reporters and let them in.
"If you don't want to play, continue to violate team rules."
Whiteside originally wanted to complain, but he shut up when James said this.
Although his brain is not working well, he still remembers his previous experience with the Pelicans. Tang Tian also told him this before.
He didn't listen at the time, and then he couldn't play.
Whiteside was pulled away by James, and the Cavaliers' targeted tactics are unknown.
The media reports only said that the Cavaliers would have targeted tactics, and that Whiteside was confident that the Cavaliers would equalize the total score.
"Hopefully we got it right."
Gentry said to Stevens the afternoon of game day after seeing the news coverage.
"Will do."
Stevens smiled and didn't say much.
He understood Lu's tactical level, and the only thing Tang Tian could target now was that one point.
That night, the game between the Cavaliers and Pelicans continued in Cleveland.
Fans swarmed inside and outside Quicken Loans Arena, and the scene was even more exaggerated than in Game 3.
The fans in the small town are very loyal. When James left, they would burn their jerseys and besiege the mansion.
Love is as deep as hatred, and now that James is back, they are in the sweetest period of love, passionate.
"Do you think the team can tie the score tonight?"
Before the game, reporters randomly interviewed spectators outside the arena.
"Of course we can, Whiteside said, we can definitely do it!"
"We have LeBron, why not!"
"Cavalier Championship!"
The interviewer was one person, but there were several people rushing to answer.
Such is the passion of Cleveland fans.
The fans in the arena were even more enthusiastic, and James' big KT boards and championship slogans could be seen everywhere.
Whiteside showed before the game that the Cavaliers are determined to win, and the fans are also confident in the game.
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides came on stage one after another.
The lineups of the two teams are no different from the previous two games.
So far in the series, both sides know each other thoroughly, and there will be basically no changes in the lineup.
Because of Whiteside's remarks, the pre-game photographer did not show the split shot of Tang Tian and James, but gave it to Lu and Stevens.
Stevens looked the same as usual.
Lu looked up at the large LED screen, not to see his handsome face, but to see Stevens's reaction.
After seeing Stevens' completely unaware expression, he smiled knowingly.
It seemed that he had taken the advantage tonight.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Whiteside beat Davis in a jump jump, officially kicking off Game 4 of the Finals.
James broke through with the ball in the frontcourt, broke into the paint and then distributed the ball to Whiteside.
After passing the ball, he pushed Harrell out of the court. Whiteside knocked Ariza away with the ball and dunked directly with both hands to score.
The Cavaliers got off to an early start.
There was a roar after Whiteside dunked.
He didn't say he was happy in the interview before the game. After being pulled away early by James, he didn't even answer the question about his status that was most closely related to him.
He had been holding it in until now, and this shot felt as good as ejaculation.
"Defend! Defend!"
With dunks and roars, Whiteside's actions also put the fans into a state of excitement from the beginning, and the shouts in the arena were deafening.
The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt and the Cavaliers set up a defensive formation.
Tang Tian took a look.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same way the Warriors defended him in G6.
Shumpert leads the defense, and James stands on the inside, eyes aimed in his direction, ready to block his breakthrough route.
Coupled with Whiteside's opportunistic save.
I have to say that the Cavaliers' coaching staff is still very capable. They completely understood the Warriors' tactics in a day or two.
Because he was prepared in advance, his thinking was very clear, and he directly reached out to wave Harrell to the high post for a pick-and-roll.
Harrell blocked Shumpert, and Tang Tian accelerated to break through from the right.
The Cavaliers were well prepared. James immediately grabbed Tang Tian's first step and swept his hands down, forcing Tang Tian to stop the ball.
Lu watched from the sidelines with a smile as bright as a flower.
As long as Tang Tian is guarded, the Cavaliers will win.
But at this moment, there was a sudden change on the field.
Tang Tian seemed to have been prepared, and before stopping the ball, he passed the ball to the center without looking at anyone.
After Harrell completed the pick-and-roll, he passed the ball directly. The pass was extremely comfortable, and the ball came to the man.
Harrell showed his athletic talent. He took a step with the ball and jumped up, which was a violent abuse of the frame with both hands.
In terms of ability and talent, he can't compare to Whiteside, but in terms of eating, jumping and wingspan, he is no weaker than Whiteside!
There was a commotion in the place.
One dunk after another, the Pelicans won't let the Cavaliers take any advantage!
Lu's expression, his mouth wide open, remained stunned for a long time.
If someone took a screenshot, this would definitely make a great meme.
But at this time Luke didn't care about emoticons or not. What shocked him now was that the same tactics were different when it came to him!
The operation method and opening method have not changed!
The Cavaliers' frontcourt attack failed, and Davis protected the defensive rebound.
Looking back, Tang Tian continued to hold the ball and call for pick-and-rolls.
Only this time it was Davis who set the pick and roll.
The Cavaliers had already deployed a targeted defense, but Tang Tian failed to break through after the pick-and-roll, and directly faced Love.
"Uh-huh!"
Love's interference was very limited, and Tang Tian also continued his excellent touch from the previous game, steadily sending the ball into the basket!
Lu slapped his thigh suddenly and stood up.
This girl is really different!
Drew was also a little panicked at this time. He reacted faster and realized that the Pelicans were prepared in advance.
But the Cavaliers' previous training was absolutely confidential, and it was impossible for the players to leak the tactics at that time.
Even Whiteside later was pulled back by James before he said it.
How come the Pelicans can handle it so easily?
Or, just a coincidence?
Irving still failed to make a three-pointer from the frontcourt.
The Cavaliers started the last game in a hot state, but this time the performance obviously dropped.
In the Pelicans' offensive round, Tang Tian continued to attack. This time Love pounced quickly, forcing Tang Tian to continue to break through.
However, Tang Tian still had no idea, and instead turned and passed the ball to Davis.
Davis took the ball and took two big steps, pressing Shumpert and hitting the ball into the basket.
6 to 2!
The Pelicans turned away and completely suppressed the Cavaliers!
Lou and Drew looked at each other.
The Pelicans, do they have the ability to predict the future? !
