Cleveland, Quick Loan Stadium.

A beep!

The referee's whistle kicked off the fourth game of the series.

For a breakthrough by Lebang, the referee directly blew Li Ke's blocking foul.

"The side whistle may be late, but will never be absent."

The referee escorted, and Lebang himself did his best. He practiced shooting for a series of games, and the game finally achieved results.

In the first quarter, he hit a three-pointer and two mid-range shots, and Li Ke couldn't use his defense.

A full-powered Zhan appeared...

Despite this, the game is still very intense and anxious. After all, in terms of core players, the Bobcats have four to one, with the number of players being the best.

Lao Ai was silent again, but Hua Lao Er stood up, and with the stable output of the old shark, the bobcat withstood the impact of the eight-man knight.

After the third quarter, the Bobcats fell behind only 2 points, which means they were not behind.

The referee who was in charge of the game wanted to scold his father: "This Cavalier is not good!"

Unfortunately, they received a dead order, and they had to make sure that the knight refused to sweep the bobcats, so they could only bite the bullet and blew it to death.

In the fourth section, the referee's presence became stronger and stronger.

In the first three quarters, the side whistle only prevented the Bobcats from defending, giving the Cavaliers plenty of offensive space.

In the fourth quarter, the referee's whistle began to be indiscriminate, and he stuck to the opportunity of the bobcat's momentum and gave him a whistle to interrupt the bobcat's rhythm.

When it came to the Bobcats' attack, even though Deronti West's defense obviously hit Lao Ai's hand, the referee pretended not to see it.

Li Ke has committed five offenders, Lao Ai has committed five offenders, Hua has committed five offenders, and Lao Sha also has committed five offenders, none of which has committed six offenders, but the referee's control of the field was very successful.

The free throws of 46-18 in the game, no matter how many Bobcats beat four to one, they could not defeat this very different godfather whistle.

In the fourth game of the series, Lebang finally played the role of the Chosen Son, making 42 points on 12 of 25 shots, with 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Li Ke followed the other three players of the AWSL combination to rise and fall, making 6 of 14 shots, only scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

The Cavaliers won a game at home and rejected the Bobcats' sweep.

"It's just a little bit short, we'll sweep the Knights."

Charlotte, Boss Qiao in front of the TV looked full of regret.

David Falke rolled his eyes, "Stop pretending, Michael, play one more game in the series, and the happiest thing is not David Stern who makes the game control decision, but you."

"Me? Why am I happy?"

Boss Qiao continued to pretend, but when he thought of playing one more home game, the more four or five million dollars in tickets, as well as potential broadcast sharing, advertising sharing, etc., Boss Qiao couldn't help but open his mouth.

If you fight one more game, the Bobcats alone can make nearly ten million dollars more from it, and the NBA will make more money.

This is why David Stern wants to take control of the field.

besides--

"Adam, such a field control is a reasonable field control."

In New York, David Stern warned Adam and Shuang Hua, and Shuang nodded as if he understood.

But then, David Stern's addition made Xiao Hua quite disapproved.

"We can control the field for the US, but we cannot change the result that can affect the overall situation because of the US. Although the Bobcats lost this game, they have absolutely no objection to such a result because they also make a profit from it."

"A such field control is the limit. No matter how many, it is easy to violate our principles."

Speaking of which, David Stern also has a lot of control, such as the well-known Western Conference Final in 2002, the Lakers vs. Kings.

People all say that the G6 War King in the 2002 Western Conference Finals was hacked by the alliance.

But no one knows that the Lakers were also hacked in g2, g3 and g5 in that series, but they were not so outrageous.

To put it bluntly, David Stern wanted to see the tiebreak of the Western Conference Finals and took the mission.

In the first five games, except for the first game where the Lakers crushed and won, the referee's whistle was a bit king. For example, in G2 Bobby Jackson elbowed Kobe, the referee blew Kobe's foul, which directly made Kobe leave the field with six fouls.

For example, Kobe had five fouls in G5, and the Peak Sharks were also called for three offensive fouls in a row. He left the court with less than four quarters and six fouls, but he only had one free throw.

The whistle fell apart and the referee blew the Kings to lead 3-2 in the first five games.

In the sixth battle, they could only turn to the Lakers, but the King was in a big state. Even if there was a slight whistle, they had the advantage.

In order to tiebreak, the referee could only do this game like this. In the fourth quarter, he was shameless and blew a big black whistle that was unprecedented.

In the final tiebreak, there was no interference from the side whistle, and the Lakers won by relying on their strength.

In this series between Bobcats and the Cavaliers, David Stern doesn't care if he is tied for seven or not.

What he said is that the team in the finals last year could not lose so badly this year. Lebang, which he promoted, could no longer perform so badly as in the first three games, even undercover.

So, when the Knights overturned, they refused to sweep.

Lebang also scored 42 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and there was no need to continue to control the game in this round of the series.

Back to Charlotte, under the witness of the overflowing Time Warner Center, the Bobcats won the fourth game of the series with an absolute advantage, defeating the Cavaliers with a total score of 4-1, and entering the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

...

In the fifth game, Lebang, who made 7 of 20 shots, scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, was still very graceful. He stood on the side of the court and waited for the Bobcats to celebrate, and then stepped forward.

First, he hugged Lao Ai, but didn't know what he had talked about. From a distance, Li Ke only saw Lao Ai smile gently and turned to leave.

Then there was the old shark, which was also the process of high-fives and hugging. This time, Li Ke approached and he heard the old shark say something funny: "Don't be discouraged, LeBron, the future is yours."

Li Ke obviously saw Lebang's face turned dark.

Lao Sha laughed loudly and patted Lebang's back: "I'm not kidding, LeBron, I'm serious."

But you laughed so hard and said you were serious, who would believe it?

So, when it was Li Ke's turn, what he faced was a dark-faced Lebang.

"You have caused me a lot of trouble in this series, Sheldon, seriously, I really hope you are my teammate, not my opponent."

"Thanks."

Faced with Lebang's powerful words, Li Ke just replied with a light thank you.

Teammate? The possibility is too low unless Lebang is willing to come to Charlotte and take the most difficult road.

Speaking of which, Li Ke did cause great trouble for Lebang in this round of series.

In five games, Lebang averaged only 20 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, and had 4.4 turnovers per game, and his shooting percentage was only 35.4%.

If the g4 referee had not taken control of one game, this round of series would have been a series in which Lebang was defeated.

No matter how the league has promoted him before, whether he is the Chosen Son or the King, he will be a joke before he proves himself.

Of course, even if G4 controls one game, this round of series is enough to make the young James who have been invisible in those years. However, the super performance of G4 games at least gives Lebang a fig leaf.

Failed to get any positive response from Li Ke, Lebang communicated with Hua Er and turned around and entered the player channel.

"Ritchie, the reporter's interviews helped me..."

In the player channel, Ricci Paul followed Lebang.

In 2008, Rich Paul just joined Caa to assist LeBon's agent Leon Rose, and his role is more like an assistant.

But undoubtedly, Rich Paul is smart. He frowned and immediately rejected Lebang's idea of ​​turning down the interview: "No, LeBron, you can't hide from reporters at this time."

"Why?"

"You have to stand up and admit that you have failed this season. This is called daring to act."

"Why should I dare to act and take responsibility?"

"To continue to trust your confidence in Cleveland fans, and to put pressure on media reporters who like to talk nonsense..."

"All right."

So, under the arrangement of Rich Paul, Lebang still accepted the post-match interview.

"I admit that this playoff has exposed many shortcomings, and I will use this offseason to make up for it all..."

"Leaving the team? I will stay in Cleveland forever."

“I will hold the O’Brien Cup in Cleveland!”

After a promise and the post-match interview was resolved, Lebang called Leon Rose:

"Leon, help me find a more reliable shooting coach... What you said, of course I can face my own problem. Not only do I need to find a reliable shooting coach, I also want to go to Hakim Olajuwon's training camp to improve my back..."

...

The Bobcats' locker room, celebration is short-lived, because it is only a phased victory.

"Stop slut, it's time to take a shower!"

The old shark was shouting to celebrate. He stretched his body wide and said, "I'm so tired of stepping on the horse. Allen, you promised to take us to win the first round?"

Lao Ai spread his hands helplessly. Indeed, the series is over, and the average data performance of the Bobcats players is already very clear.

In five games, Lao Ai Shen spent two games, and the remaining three games were a bit pitfall.

However, the old shark, except for the first game, took the banner of Bobcats' attack in the remaining four games.

It was agreed that the old shark would not depend on it, but in the end it was still the old shark.

Li Ke also summarized his five games.

Average of 16.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.6 blocks, and a shooting percentage of 45.9%.

The data performance is not as impressive as the regular season, but this decline in amplitude, including the increase in playoff intensity, is normal.

"It's not bad, but this performance in the second round is not enough."

The opponent in the next round is the Celtics. Li Ke is very clear about how powerful this Celtics are. Although the Bobcats are quad-core, Li Ke and Hua Lao Er are a bit of a recharge in the quad-core, and the remaining two giants are also old.

Compared with the Celtics, Garnett is still at the peak, and Pierce and Gentleman Lei are also very similar.

The Bobcats want to win, and the two giants are compared with the two giants. The performance of Li Ke and Hua's second child must be compared with the bonus of the Celtics chain defense and one kg.

Very difficult...

...

Boston, the moment the Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers, Doug Rivers knocked on the table.

"Okay, no doubt, our opponent is Bobcats."

Time turned back to a day ago, Philadelphia, Vachovia Arena.

What is completely different from the Bobcats vs. Cavaliers, there is no need to control the game in the Celtics vs. 76ers.

The league sat down to watch the Celtics win three consecutive games. In the fourth game, the Celtics were not ruthless, and their high-pressure defense continued to crush the 76ers, and finally won the fourth game with a score of 100-77.

Entering the second round with a total score of 4-0.

And the opponent they are waiting for is the winner of Bobcats and the Knights.

Of course, even if the Bobcats failed to sweep the Knights, the situation was already quite clear before the fifth World War began.

So, when returning to Boston, Doug Rivers immediately put the Bobcats on the key observation list.

Then, the fifth battle between the Bobcats and the Knights, they locked in TNT TV station and watched it in real time.

After reading it, Doug Rivers was a little serious.

"The Bobcats are not weak. At least they can rank in the top two in the Eastern Conference. The only thing that can be compared with them is Magic. In some aspects, they are even better than Magic."

After expressing his opinion, Rivers looked at Siberdu immediately: "Tom, what do you think?"

"They are indeed very strong, but there are only three points that need to be paid attention to..."

Tom Siberdu is very direct, and he thinks that the bobcats are worth noting:

"One, Allen Iverson's outside explosive point, two, Shaquille O'Neal's inside explosive point, three, Sheldon's single defense..."

...

The day after the Bobcats killed the Cavaliers 4-1, besides those fixed reports, the most popular one was Sports Illustrated's analysis of Li Ke's single defense.

"In the first round of the playoffs in the 2007-08 season, facing the Bobcats who entered the playoffs for the first time in team history, LeBron James played the worst playoff series performance in his career. He averaged only 20 points per game, only 5.8 assists per game, but had a turnover of up to 4.4, and his shooting percentage was as low as 35.4%.

"The initiator of all this is Sheldon Lee..."

In one series and five games, Li Ke's single defense was greatly recognized.

The report of Sports Illustrated is one aspect, which is well known. Almost all media reporters, fans, and bricks have already understood the fact that Li Ke is a top single defense master.

Lebang, who averaged 30 points in the regular season, dropped sharply to 20 points under Li Ke's defense, and his shooting percentage dropped from 48.4% to 35.4% of failed.

So, who is the next victim?

Tom Siberdu believes: "Sheldon's single defense is excellent. Sam Vincent will definitely use him to defend Paul (Pearce). Then, in the second round of the competition with the Bobcats, we have to change the role of the main attacker on the outside..."

So, the Celtics believe that the next victim is Paul Pierce.
