The ball bounced off the board and hit the net!

The difference is 20 points!

The breath that the Cavaliers had finally raised was instantly removed.

Now they only have one thought in their hearts:

Give me the ball, I want to go home!

In the end, with their outstanding performance in the first and third quarters, the Nets defeated the Cavaliers 125-96 in G1 and got a good start in the Eastern Conference Finals!

In terms of statistics, Lin Ying and Durant both contributed 30+ points in the three quarters, and Durant even scored 40 points.

For the Cavaliers, James persisted until the end, scoring a near-big triple-double with 40 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, but it failed to change the situation of the game.

This game also had a great impact on the fans.

You know, the Cavaliers defeated the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, and they did so without Josh Smith.

But now, not only did the Nets win, but they won... so completely.

You can say that the Texas Twins are terrifying, or you can say that this Nets team looks like a champion.

The only one who can stop them is the Warriors team that has created a history of 73 wins!

…

The next night, Durant ran to Lin Ying again.

After they practiced extra in advance, they watched the live broadcast of the game between the Warriors and Lakers in the video room.

Because Curry was absent, the Warriors' performance in the Western Conference semifinals did not reflect their true strength.

This round of playing against the Lakers is more informative.

Before the game started, the two chatted about the upcoming game against the Cavaliers.

"Do you think LeBron will be beaten enough to give up?"

Durant said.

"No, didn't he persist until the end in the first game?"

"Is that persistence? That's data brushing!"

Durant's words made Lin Ying cough.

Although James's habit does not seem very good, it is much better than Westbrook's.

After all, many fans don't have time to watch the game and just look at the statistics.

Cavaliers fans would definitely prefer to see James score 40+ points without any hope of recovery, rather than the Cavaliers being bloodbathed and James only scoring 30 points.

"He will still persist and realize his unfinished dream."

Lin Ying continued.

"film."

At this moment, Durant looked at Lin Ying with a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"You have changed."

"Changed?"

"You've become hypocritical and you don't even speak your mind in front of me!"

Lin Ying held his forehead.

He just doesn't think it's good to discuss others behind their back so secretly.

"Okay, but he will persevere. Even if he loses, he will let the fans know that he tried his best."

Durant smiled and patted Lin Ying on the shoulder.

This is the Lin Ying he knows!

"What if he leaves?"

Durant continued.

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment.

It's true that he hasn't thought about this problem yet, but it's certainly not impossible.

After all, at this point in 2016, James should have signed a long-term contract.

and……

Lin Ying turned around and looked at Durant.

"What's wrong?"

"Even if he leaves, he still wants to let people know that it's not that he wants to leave, but that he can't win despite trying his best."

Lin Ying continued.

Durant thought for a while and then nodded.

He thought he knew James well enough, but he was still not as good as Lin Ying.

"You said that if he runs again, he should go to the West? I decided to take my talents to the West?"

This is when the topic shifted from the game to James' possible "Decision 3".

"Who knows."

Lin Ying really couldn't guess this, because he wasn't the roundworm in James' belly. I didn't know what James was thinking now.

And because of his appearance, many things have changed.

"Do you think he will come to us?"

Durant suddenly said with a bad smile.

Lin Ying only said it jokingly before, but now Durant feels that it is not entirely a joke.

"He can't come."

Lin Ying's answer was affirmative.

"Why?"

"Let me give you an analogy."

Lin Ying's "can't come" includes many factors. As the league president, Tatum will not allow it, the fans will not want to see it, and he and Durant will not agree, but it is too complicated to talk about, so

He uses another more intuitive way.

"Do you think a stuffed bear or a rabbit will join NATO?"

Durant doesn't know much about politics, but he immediately shook his head at this question.

And after shaking his head, he immediately understood what Lin Ying meant when he said he couldn't come.

If this is the case, if James really wants to leave, he will probably go to the West.

Because there is no better team than the Cavaliers.

"Do you think we are a bit bullying?"

Durant continued.

Owen is pretty good, but he is incomparable to him and Lin Ying.

If James really leaves the Cavaliers, he will be beaten away by both of them.

"Kevin, let me give you another example."

Durant nodded and listened attentively.

"There is a forest with many animals living in it. The most eye-catching one is an eagle, which is the overlord of the sky. In order to rule the forest, the eagle attracted many equally powerful animals and formed a 'Sky Alliance'. Then watch

They bully anyone they don't like. Many animals dare not speak out. Some animals have to join them in order to protect themselves. Then the forest wolf comes and a furry bear comes. The eagles and the others are no match. One day the furry bear and the horse next door

There was a conflict between the bears, and the entire forest was accusing the furry bears of bullying smaller animals."

This example has a richer meaning than the previous one. Durant thought for a while and shook his head, but still didn't quite understand.

Seeing Durant's reaction, Lin Ying could only explain further.

"LeBron is the eagle and we are the bears."

When Lin Ying said this, Durant finally understood.

There are many elements here.

James is the proud son of the league. In order to dominate the league, he attracted Wade and Bosh from the 2003 generation to form Brothers Basketball, and won the championship in the first season. Even the media sided with them and began to brag.

"One crown surpasses Jordan".

Many teams are dissatisfied with this kind of grouping but have nothing to do, just like the Pacers and Raptors.
