Chapter 978 Self-Doubt Little Emperor

? ?

After Tang Tian made such an answer, there was a commotion among the reporters below.

What does it mean to be less intense than the team training matches?

Hey, this is the finals!

Are you saying the Cavaliers are losers?

This is obviously provoking the opponent!

This is very disrespectful!

Although you used to be Don Tian, ​​a Spurs rookie who was not low-key, you have been very low-key since you arrived at the Pelicans!

In addition to kicking Green's balls and Pachulia's feet, he bought a superyacht worth more than 100 million US dollars, held a world-famous wedding, established a world-wide foundation, and became a New Orleans icon. City hero, you are still very low-key!

"I don't mean to belittle my opponent, I'm just focusing on this game."

Tang Tian also realized that what he said might be misunderstood, so he immediately explained again.

Oops!

Just for this game!

Does this mean the Cavaliers played poorly this time?

Still provocative!

When Tang Tian saw the reaction of the reporters in the audience, he suddenly realized that no matter how he explained, it was inappropriate.

Originally, he was telling the truth. The defensive ability of the Pelicans' starting wings must be better than that of the Cavaliers.

During the previous training, in order to prepare for the game, Holiday and the others also guarded him to the death, so he was very uncomfortable playing.

Just like after people experience big pain, they no longer regard small pain as pain.

He has experienced Holiday's ultra-high-intensity defense, and it will indeed be easier and more comfortable for him to deal with the Cavaliers.

So what he said was exactly how he felt.

But no one seems to believe the truth!

And the more he explained, the more wrong he became, so he simply stopped explaining.

The content of the Pelicans' post-game press conference was reported, which immediately caused an uproar from fans on social media.

"Fuck! I like it! The first person in the league should have this kind of domineering attitude!"

"Haha, how about we stop playing the finals and let's watch the Pelicans' intra-squad training games!"

"Then the winning team wins the championship? The Pelicans win the championship and runner-up in advance? (?ω?)"

"Hey, I'm so angry, but it seems like I can't do anything, blue skinny mushroom!"

"Damn it, our emperor will fight back! The Cavaliers will fight back with all their might!"

"Don't bully others too much! Do you really think that my emperor has no fans? Don't be too proud. You will be able to watch the next game!"

"That's it, the first person in our emperor's history to defeat this idiot Tang!"

…

Fans were noisy on social media, and the atmosphere was so tense that all it took was a real person with a keyboard to compete.

Tang Tian accidentally lit the fuse of the war.

The next game of the Finals is still three days later, but this time the venue will be in New Orleans.

This is a great opportunity for the Pelicans to defend their title.

For the Cavaliers, their lives are hanging by a thread.

The day before Game 5 of the Finals, the entire Cavaliers team flew to New Orleans.

The plane was a chartered flight, and except for JR Smith and a few people who were playing cards there, everyone else was doing their own thing, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

It doesn't have to be dull.

If they still had hopes of dragging the finals into overtime in the last game, now they are a little confused.

1 to 3, there are only 0 teams in NBA history that have achieved a comeback in the finals.

Yes, not one.

The most recent time was the Cavaliers, who also trailed the Pelicans 1-3 in last year's Finals.

Everyone knows what happened after that. They tied the total score at 3-3, but in the end Tang Tian scored 62 points in the third quarter to end the tiebreaker early.

They didn't succeed last year, and they didn't succeed with Silver's help.

Without Xiao Hua this year, their probability of overcoming the same number as the number of teams is almost 0.

So if they lost the last game, they basically lost.

That's why the atmosphere on the plane seems so dull.

James bit his nails and looked out the window, his thoughts already starting to swirl.

When he left Miami and came to Cleveland to play basketball in his hometown, bearing the infamy of betraying his brothers, it was the best choice he made after considering various factors.

After all, the Cavaliers had Irving and Love in his prime. The paper strength of the Big Three seemed no worse than that of the Heat.

If he can bring his hometown the first championship in history, his position as the league's number one player will be further consolidated.

He even has the opportunity to chase Jordan's position as the number one player in history.

But things went counterproductive. Just like when he was overthrown by the Spurs in the Heat, he seemed to be defeated by the Pelicans in the Cavaliers.

The person who caused him to encounter such bad luck was Tang Tian, ​​the person who gave him a headache whenever he heard his name.

And what's even more fatal is that Tang Tian is far from the Tang Tian he was during the Spurs days. The current Tang Tian is stronger than him.

To put it more graphically, Tang Tian, ​​the championship player and the number one player in the league, took away everything that originally belonged to him.

It makes him hate it, but unlike Durant, he has to keep up appearances.

Unable to express his emotions, over time, he had to start doubting himself.

Does he still need to do this?

Love is becoming more and more ineffective as he plays, Irving seems to have completely lost his previous energy, and there is also the cheating Whiteside.

Moreover, these people's contracts are very long and will be the structure of the Cavaliers for many years to come.

If you can't beat the Pelicans this year, you may never get the chance again.

After all, he is getting older and there is less and less time left for him.

He is now signing a 1+1 contract. Does he really want to stay in Cleveland?

"LeBron, what are you thinking about?"

Just as he was thinking about it, James Jones sat next to him and asked with a smile.

James saw it was Jones. If he was in the league, the only big brother he recognized was Jones.

"nothing."

James smiled and put his thoughts away for the time being.

"I know you are thinking about tomorrow's game. Don't worry, we believe in you and you will lead us to win the game."

Jones said with trust in his eyes.

James nodded seriously after listening.

Let’s wait until the future to talk about the future. Now they still have games to play.

Even if you can't win the championship, you will at least win one more game than last year.

We cannot lose the team's lineup this year, nor can we lose the enthusiasm of Cleveland fans.

Fight one game at a time, and chances may come out.

Looking at the look in James's eyes, Jones also knew that he had regained his fighting spirit.

The loss in the last game was not a mistake by Lu and the coaching staff. There was also a big reason for their sluggish state.

Now it's a last-ditch battle, and they have to win at least one more game.

No one has come back from a 1-3 finals match, but if you think about it, it's not that difficult.

Win the next game, win another home game and then play the tie-break. If we are united, anything is possible.

Besides, they have James.
