At one o'clock in the morning, after Lin Tian returned to the hotel, everyone knew that the Lakers were leading the Cavaliers 2:0.

Almost all NBA fans are discussing this matter.

Lin Tian simply checked a few news items and then turned off his phone.

Now they are only two wins away from the championship.

To be fair, Lin Tian still hasn't gotten used to the two games he won at Quicken Loans Arena.

You know, they were swept against the Cavaliers in the regular season.

The Cavaliers' defense is obviously much worse than the Warriors'.

Among them, their worst defense is inside.

The interior defense composed of Love and Tristan Thompson couldn't stop them.

The Lakers also scored a lot from beyond the three-point line in these two games, completely outperforming the Cavaliers.

This reminded Lin Tian of the 2016 finals in his previous life.

In the first two games of the Finals that year, the Warriors pinned the Cavaliers to the ground.

Due to the huge difference in scores between the two games, many people believed that the Warriors could sweep the Cavaliers and win the championship.

But the Cavaliers rebounded completely in G3, the Cavaliers lost in G4, Green was humiliated under his crotch in G5, and Green was suspended in G6.

In the tiebreaker, the Cavaliers were all on board, and Irving used a key three-pointer at the last moment to kill the game.

The path the Lakers are taking now is somewhat similar to the Warriors in their previous life.

If nothing else, the G3 referees will definitely favor the Cavaliers, and everyone will understand this tacitly.

If they can win G3, they can basically lock in the championship in advance.

Lin Tian secretly decided in his heart that he must do his best to win G3.

After thinking about it, he fell asleep again without realizing it.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning. After Lin Tian got up and had breakfast, he and his teammates boarded a special plane to Los Angeles.

Howard, who was listening to the song, couldn't help but sigh: "I have never been so close to a championship in my life!"

The last time he made it to the finals was in the 2008-09 season.

That time, the Magic team he led met the Lakers in the Finals and were easily taken away by the Lakers 4:1.

Kobe smiled: "Paul was still with me when you entered the finals last time. That was also the first FMVP in my life."

Lin Tian stood up, looked through the window at Cleveland below, and said, "Guys, now is not the time to be nostalgic. I hope we don't have to go back to Cleveland this season."

"Honestly, Lin, are you too confident?" Nick Young looked at Lin Tian, ​​"If we don't want to return to Cleveland, then we must win the next two games! This is not easy.

matter."

"Of course, it's never easy to win the championship trophy, but we have to try, come on, buddy!"

…

After returning to Los Angeles, Scott gave everyone a rare half-day vacation.

After playing two consecutive high-intensity finals in Cleveland, the players really need to relax.

Lin Tian usually doesn't have much recreational activities. After other players went home, he honestly came to the training hall to warm up.

Today is not a media day, and there are no cameras following Lin Tian, ​​which makes him feel very relaxed.

After all, under the spotlight, every little move may be interpreted, even if you are training.

If a player like him, who attracts so much attention, misses a lot of shots in a row during training, it will cause widespread discussion.

Lin Tian didn't go home until seven o'clock in the evening after having dinner in the arena.

The next morning was the media day before the G3 game.

When Lin Tian and the others came to the arena, media from all over the world had been waiting here for a long time.

He saw Xiaoxue in the crowd, so he smiled and nodded at Xiaoxue.

Media Day, as the name suggests, is mainly a day to participate in media interviews.

For NBA players, this kind of interview is very boring, but they can't refuse it.

The media is a double-edged sword for players. They can make you more famous, or they can make you infamous.

Lin Tian mainly accepted interviews from reporters from China, which was also his own request.

Being interviewed by Xiaoxue, at least makes people not disgusted. Sometimes he even likes being interviewed by Xiaoxue.

After half a day of interviews, the players calmed down and continued training.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it’s the evening of June 8th.

This is also the night of the G3 battle between the Lakers and Cavaliers.

Although Staples Center is not much bigger than Quicken Loans Arena, it is obviously much more lively than Quicken Loans Arena.

When Lin Tian and the others appeared on the stage, the deafening cheers made his heart surge.

There were countless celebrities from all walks of life who came to the arena this evening.

Rihanna didn't come tonight, but another singing queen, Beyoncé, did.

In addition, Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. is also there.

The Beckham family, who are known as passers in the football world, sat next to the technical table early.

Most of the people who come here are Lakers fans.

Cavaliers fans generally don't come here to cause trouble.

Not long after, the Cavaliers players also entered the court.

As soon as they appeared on the stage, they were booed all over the place.

Lin Tian even heard someone scolding James on the sidelines: "LeBron, what does it feel like to be a coward?"

This sentence angered James, and he glared hard at the fan.

Before the game even started, the Lakers fans had already set the mood.

Of course, O'Neal was also included in the commentary today.

Seeing that the filming equipment was in place, O'Neal shouted into the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Staples Center to watch the game on the night of the 8th! That's right! Tonight is the Lakers and Cavaliers Finals.

Game 3! Oh my god! Look at all the stars here! Our old friend Nicholson, Iron Man! And Beyoncé! God, I believe you when you say this is Oscar night! Lakers

Team members, please don’t let everyone go in vain. As far as I know, tickets tonight are very expensive! It broke the NBA’s historical record, although I don’t have to buy a ticket, haha!”

Fatty O'Neal's words made the audience laugh out loud.

Even Kobe Bryant, who was warming up on the court, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and said to Lin Tianda: "This guy is really talkative. He was born to do this."

Half an hour later, the match between the two sides officially started.

Like the previous two games, today’s starting lineup remains unchanged.

The Cavaliers took the lead to seize the ball.

James was responsible for the organization. After he got the ball, he changed his slow-burning style of play in the previous two games. As soon as he came up, he hit Lin Tian and hit a three-pointer.

Lin Tian can feel that today's James will be a terrifying full-power James.

And the defensive pressure he will face may be the highest this season!

Lin Tian guessed correctly, the next few offensive rounds of the Cavaliers were all completed by James.

James' offensive method is simple and crude, that is, frequent breakthroughs.

His body was dozens of kilograms heavier than Lin Tian. When he broke through, Lin Tian felt as if he had been hit by a bulldozer every time.

Relatively speaking, he is much thinner than James, and it is really difficult to withstand James' impact.

After only playing three minutes in the first quarter, James had already scored 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting.
Chapter completed!
