310. Zero Seal Knight, No. 1 in History! (5.2K words for monthly pass)(1/2)

After returning from the second half, everyone on the Cavaliers obviously was not in good condition. Everyone was calm and almost wrote the word "Sad" on their foreheads, without the aura of fighting against the waves.

I think so, in this round of the series, the Cavaliers are currently lagging behind with a big score of 0:3.

Before this game starts, I believe everyone in the Cavaliers will have no hope of turning the tables. What they hope is to win the game G4 and avoid being swept by the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, with the end of the half-time game, the Cavaliers were still on the back side and seemed to have no choice but to do anything about this scene.

This situation obviously made the Cavaliers' generals feel depressed and even questioned their hearts for a while.

In this case, the Cavaliers lost all fighting spirit after returning from the second half. In the whole third quarter, they did not show the momentum of burning their boats as people imagined, but were easily beaten by the Magic.

Everyone is like a walking corpse on the court, and it feels like they want to end the game early and never want to suffer such torture in the game again.

Facing the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had no fighting spirit in the entire second half, the Magic, which was already at home and had a more stable and dominant team, made a concerted effort. After the end of the third quarter, they directly rewritten the score on the court as:

79:64

Leading the Cavaliers by 15 points, ending the first three quarters.

With the end of the third quarter, the current situation on the field seems to have entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

Because the entire Cavaliers had no intention of giving it a try after returning from the second half, every player was listless, as if he had completely felt despair about the win or loss of the game.

On the basketball court, the most terrifying thing is often not how strong the opponent is, but the team itself venting the last breath in their hearts.

After all, as long as you keep your faith, even if you are behind in a big score, the team will be barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. It will become easier and more natural to play the ball, and it will even be far beyond its average level.

However, before the start of this game, the Cavaliers, which was already like a frightened bird, encountered huge external pressure.

You know, no matter what, the Cavaliers were the top ranked in the league during the regular season.

So when the team will face a swept situation, all the players showed off their strength to fight back at the beginning, and they were very fierce and devoted.

But even in this case, the Cavaliers were still facing a backward situation after the half, and there was no hope of the team being able to turn the tables.

Under this huge torture of both mental and physical pressure, the Cavaliers in the second half finally vented the breath in their hearts.

It was like a ball that was released in an instant, which directly led to the entire team's lack of fighting spirit, like a defeated rooster, and he accepted the fate that the team was about to be swept away.

Faced with this situation, although Mike Brown, as the head coach, has always seen it, he has no choice.

Because at this moment, not to mention being a player, even as the head coach, he can't see any hope of turning around, and he even feels vaguely relieved in his heart.

And it is no exaggeration to say that even if the league is giving Mike Brown another chance to fight the Magic, Mike Brown has no confidence in leading the team to win.

And when the head coach of a team has lost the belief of leading the team to reverse the game, the Cavaliers' loss naturally becomes inevitable by chance.

Finally, after the game ended, the Magic successfully:

108:85

23 points once again beat the Cavaliers at home. While advancing to the NBA Finals again after 14 years, he also defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, which had a record of 4:0 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Magic swept the Cavaliers 4:0 in the East Final, creating the first team to win the first record in the league in the playoffs since the detailed statistics of the league's establishment in 1985!!

It can be said that no matter what the final result of the Magic team this season will be, the current Magic has quietly created its own history.

And if nothing unexpected happens, then this record will be permanently sealed to a large extent.

After all, except that the chance of being swept in the playoffs of No. 1 in the league is even smaller than that of Black Eight.

With the development of society, the NBA board of directors that is becoming more and more like a business alliance is likely to be eliminated in the future with a sweeping attitude.

So the Magic this season has definitely reached the peak of their team history.

Even the magic team that reached the finals in the 94-95 season and which had the Big Sharks O'Neal and Penny Hardaway could not be compared with the Magic team this season.

Because this season, the Magic team has not only been selected into the NBA All-Star lineup with four players, but also becoming more and more terrifying in terms of lineup depth and stadium coordination.

At the moment when the game ended, the entire Orlando Arena fell into a state of madness. Every fan stood up, swaying his cheering T-shirts in his hands, and exhaling his shouts.

For local fans in Orlando, they have not experienced the feeling of entering the finals for 14 years, so at the end of the game, many older fans were already full of tears and couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this moment, in this Orlando Arena, excitement, madness, shouting and excitement can be seen everywhere in people.

It is no exaggeration to say that on May 23, 2009, the city of Orlando will surely usher in a carnival.

Even in the next few days, the city will be spent in a joyful and exciting atmosphere.

After the game, the Magic's bench also poured into the field immediately, and everyone hugged each other tightly, celebrating wildly.

Courtney Li on the bench found Su Jiu immediately, hugged Su Jiu in the middle of the court, and began to scream wildly, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

However, while everyone in the Magic team was celebrating excitedly, on the court, Iverson, who was 34 years old this year, knelt on one knee, pressed his head tightly on the floor, and tears began to slide down the corners of his eyes.

For Iverson, the finals are far from being a stage for big scenes. After all, Iverson at his peak led the Philadelphia 76ers to fight the arrogant Ok combination.

But for Iverson, who has been accustomed to acting as a lone hero throughout his career, since he came to the Magic this season, he has been respected by fans, trusted by coaches, and supported by teammates.

So this time's reaching the finals can definitely be called a new chapter in Iverson's career.

At the same time, it also made Iverson see the hope of winning the championship again in his twilight years of his career.

But slightly different from that time, this time, he was finally not fighting alone...

After the game, while the Magic players were celebrating excitedly, the slightly frustrated Cavaliers came to the center of the field, had a post-match hug with the Magic, and sent their own blessings.

Among them, LeBron James, as the pride of heaven, found Howard as soon as possible after the game and had a brief conversation with Howard. The two hugged each other heavily, completely ending their respective competitions this season.

While Su Jiu and Mo Williams were hugging and talking on the sidelines, LeBron James, who had finished hugging Howard, took the initiative to walk towards Su Jiu.

"You are really an excellent player, it's hard to believe that you will actually be out of the draft this year, which is really incredible."

"You are strong, of course, I wish you good luck."

Looking at LeBron James who had not yet left the long beard in front of him, Su Jiu smiled knowingly and then hugged LeBron James heavily.

"Hey, LeBron, I like watching you play. In my opinion, you are the really good player, but the Cavaliers' flaws this year are too big, otherwise you will definitely lead the team to achieve better results."

"In fact, you've done a great job, because I really couldn't imagine who can lead this Cavaliers to the league's first record except you."

"So I'm looking forward to it, looking forward to you being able to lead the team back next season."

Hearing the praise from Su Jiu, LeBron James finally showed a smile on his face. Perhaps these words were the most beautiful blessing James heard in this round of the series.

After all, after losing the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, James has been under pressure from the outside media and all Cleveland fans.

Although the team's loss was not the fault of LeBron James alone, as the leading star in the team, LeBron James is definitely the first to bear the fault of the team's loss.

So in recent times, the pressure James has been under is probably far beyond people's imagination.

Su Jiu's words were obviously the most beautiful words LeBron James has heard in recent times.

In the following period, James had a brief conversation with Su Jiu on the sidelines. At the end, James and Su Jiu, who were smiling, took off their clothes on the sidelines and exchanged jerseys with each other.

For LeBron James, it may be that the time when he communicated with Su Jiu, Howard and others after the game really made him feel a little smile.

And if possible, LeBron James must really not want to walk out of this stadium.

Because after walking out of this stadium, James could completely imagine what kind of criticism the outside media would make about him.

Although James can completely choose to turn a blind eye to all this, after all, he led the team to a team record of 66 wins and 16 losses in the regular season, and what James did this season is excellent.

Even in the playoffs, James' performance was still expected, leading the team to sweep his opponents with a 4:0 score in the first and second rounds respectively.

But these things that really happened to him in the Eastern Conference Finals have left James' efforts in wasted throughout the season, even if it was not fair to him...

The Magic team's performance was still very stable in this game. Howard, who had not encountered double-teamed in the first half, even played his best game since the playoffs in this game.

Howard made a total of 35 minutes in the game, making 14 of 21 shots on the offensive end, including 6 of 11 free throws, scoring a 34-point, 17 rebounds and two blocks.

Howard played very happily in this game, because no one double-teamed him when the Cavaliers' inside line was not strong.

This situation is too rare for Howard, who is now well-known.

So the Happy Beast is definitely really happy today!!

Of course, with Su Jiu emerging like a dark horse this season, and the team has traded another balloon star Allen Iverson in the middle of the season.

This also made Howard more and more helpers around him, and this situation also greatly reduced Howard's pressure on the offensive end.

After all, when Su Jiu, Iverson and Lewis are on the court at the same time, even if the defensive team wants to target Howard, they will never dare to relax their defense vigilance against these three players.

Therefore, Howard's pressure on the offensive end this season is much less than in his previous life.

I'm afraid that in addition to the very tragic series with the Celtics, Howard did not have much pressure to play in other matches, but instead felt a little relaxed.

At the same time, this is the main reason why the Magic are so strong this season.

Because although the Magic still needs Howard's presence on both offense and defense this season, at least they will not face the embarrassing situation where Howard is restricted and others will not be able to open up the situation.

Even when the team plays smoothly on the offensive end, the entire Magic team can still play multiple team basketballs, so this is the main reason why the Magic will be so difficult to deal with this season.

Except Howard, Su Jiu was like the old man who "played more" in this round of the series. He was relaxed and happy on the court. In the end, he helped the team finish four consecutive games without showing any leakage, sweeping the Cavaliers, the No. 1 in the league.

Su Jiu played for 33 minutes in the whole game. He made 5 of 11 shots on the offensive end, including 2 of 6 from outside the three-point line and 2 of 2 free throws. Liu Liudada contributed a 14-point, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

It can be said that this round of series is as perfect as heaven for Su Jiu. At least compared with that of the Celtics, this is completely incomparable.

If Su Jiu can be so Buddhist in this round of the series, once compared with the data in the semi-finals against the Celtics, it can be completely visible to the naked eye.

In the seven games against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, Su Jiu was like a god descending to earth, and he averaged up to 40.3 minutes per game.

While averaging 40.3 minutes per game, Su Jiu can hand in a burst of data averaged 22.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game.
