Two days later, in a clear June, the remaining two groups of semi-finals ended.

The Red Team led by Yao and Byron Davis defeated the Mavericks and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

The Bulls and the Knights fought very fiercely, and the sixth battle that was related to one side's life and death, they fought two overtimes.

In overtime, Wade rode a horse and archery to beat the Bulls, helping the Cavaliers return to the Eastern Conference Finals again after fifteen years.

The Cavaliers have only reached the division finals twice in history.

The last time was dating back to the 1991-1992 season. The Cavaliers led by Brad Doherty, Mark Price and Larry Lance entered the Eastern Conference Finals in a mighty way and met Michael Jordan in his heyday and were defeated by a battle. Since then, due to injuries, the Cavaliers of the Doherty era have not reached the same height.

It was even longer to reach the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time.

That was 29 young things.

In the 1975-1976 season, the Cavaliers were led by Bill Feich, the first coach in NBA history. They had no stars, no one entered the best or best defensive team. The one who averaged the most points per game was a Jim Jons. He had never been selected for any All-Stars. He averaged 15.8 points per game in the regular season of the Cavaliers, so he was the team's scoring champion. What's worse is that this mediocre team's scoring champion was reimbursed for injury in the semi-finals due to injury.

It was such a team that was considered the worst team, but was brought into the Eastern Conference Finals by Bill Fitch and lost six games against the legendary Celtics. Although their story was not as perfect as fairy tales, their journey was called "Ritchfield Miracle" by the media at that time.

Head coach Fitch was later spotted by the Cardinal. In the early 1980s, he took charge of the Celtics and helped the Celtics win one championship. This is another story.

The Cavaliers have a long history and many stars, but the experience in the division finals is still rare for them.

Wade has been helping the team return to the division finals for four years, which has excited everyone.

Especially their opponents are the walkers they have always wanted to meet.

In order to deal with the Pacers, the Cavaliers are united. The management has introduced several wing players who can run with Xie Hou. Before the game starts, they are holding on to the ambition to pull the Pacers off the Malaysian horse.

On May 21, the division final officially kicked off.

The Pacers waited for their old teammate Cavaliers at home.

They waited for this day for too long.

Last season, they came from the Pacers, but lost to the Pistons in the semifinals and stopped early. In order to meet the Pacers, they defeated the Bulls with difficulty and successfully advanced to the division finals.

Before the start of the game, Wade told Xie Hou that they would bring the biggest challenge.

After the game started, Wade was right and the Cavaliers did bring challenges.

"Only the Knights can push the Pacers into this situation," Leonard said.

He said these words with evidence, and the depth of the Cavaliers' wing was there. After the semi-finals, they took the initiative to put Jason Terry, who had been with Wade for four years, in the sixth position.

Terry had no objection to this. Their starting lineup became Larry Houston and Ariza, two strong players who could defend and shoot, plus Boozer and Big Z in the inside. In the first quarter of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers played majestic.

Wade scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter, and his omnipotent performance hit the Pacers' position.

27 to 19

The Cavaliers showed off their muscles and took the lead. The Pacers' shooter was no longer reliable under the opponent's defense. Wade's breakthrough could blow anyone of them.

Unable to defend and unable to make a shot, Claire shouted at Xie Hou: "Then fight against them, you will never lose to anyone!"

Xie Hou seemed to be Claire's belief. Xie Hou remembered that he was not like this before. When did he become a mediocre coach who only held the thighs of the core players? This idea does not respect Claire very much, but Xie Hou really thinks that Claire has changed a lot.

Seeing Xie Hou not speaking, Claire asked in wonder: "Arthur, do you need a rest?"

Xie Hou asked seriously: "Coach, don't you play tactics?"

"Tactics?" Claire said for granted, "You are our tactics! What other tactics are better to play than you?"

This is Rick Claire? Xie Hou was stunned.

"Arthur, come on, Arthur!" Kirilianko sat off the court in a suit.

He continues to be out of the battle.

The biggest impact on the Pacers was that the thugs like Wade broke into the goal, and their assisted defense was insufficient.

O'Neal Jr. can average 2 blocks per game, but except for assisting defense, everything else is really not good.

Kirirenko's assistant defense can form a system, while O'Neal's assistant defense can only add a barrier to the restricted area.

Pacers need double insurance, and Kirilenko is the most reliable insurance.

The confidence on Xie Hou's face gave his teammates confidence.

In the second quarter, Xie Hou decided to find a breakthrough from Wade.

The Pacers' outside line was led by Xie Hou, and nothing could prevent Wade's breakthrough.

So Wade played the first quarter of the game, but the Cavaliers' problems were equally serious.

Terry is not here, Wade is the only ball holder on the outside. All tactics must be initiated from Wade. If he encounters major challenges on the defensive end, there will definitely be problems.

Xie Hou used offense instead of defense, and faced with a hit and made a layup.

Two rounds later, he grabbed Wade's misalignment and beat him violently.

"Arthur's low-post offense has no aesthetic, but at this moment, we need such a back-attack."

"If you can't hit the back, it's useless."

"Similarly, if he can score, even if his movements are funny enough to make people laugh, it is valuable."

Fortunately, Xie Hou's back is not funny.

He is not responsible for bringing smiles, he is only responsible for bringing tears. If his opponent can't stop the tears, he will succeed.

The tough back hit left Wade helpless, and his toughness could not change anything.

At the end of the half, the Pacers chased back the score behind.

Wade said dissatisfiedly in an interview with the scene: "Arthur's back is too rude, and I have never seen a player who prefers to use his body more than him."

McGuinness said sinisterly: "Only when we can do nothing can we complain to the audience about something. It seems that Arthur has beaten Dwyne to annoyance."

In halftime statistics, Xie Hou and Wade are comparable.

The Knight's protection against Wade was too small, and it was not a normal rotation at all.

Their wing depth was constantly called by Xie Hou and the pick-and-roll misaligned to hit the wrong position, which made it a headache. There were so many forwards, none of them could match Xie Hou, which was really outrageous.

In the second half, the Cavaliers made careful adjustments and encouraged the wings to take the initiative to face Xie Hou.

If you can't misalign against Wade, Xie Hou will make more use of his physical advantages when facing the Cavaliers' wings.

Petrus came to defend, and his breakthrough was like James, and he made sure that his elbow was pushed to the opponent before every move.

On the wild court, this is a foul, and it is easy to cause both sides to swing their fists and communicate in depth.

And on the court, this is a legal confrontation.

The fans in front of the TV looked like Xie Hou just took his elbow and caressed Pitrus. In fact, the seemingly light touch made Pitrus' internal organs shatter.

Ariza was even worse.

His figure is not as strong as Pitrus. Although he is taller than Wade, he is thinner than Wade.

When he met him, Xie Hou smiled slutically and turned around and leaned forward to hit him continuously.

Ariza was beaten to the point where he had no choice. He committed two fouls within three minutes and was replaced by the Cavaliers.

Ariza came down and Barnes, who was good at making small moves.

Barnes is like the weakened version of Bowen, who doesn't have as many dirty little moves as the latter, but is good at irritating his opponents with his confrontation and extra moves.

That was one of the foundations of his foothold in the league, but tonight, his tricks did not work for Xie Hou.

Xie Hou was trying to attack him, whether it was a surprise, a back hit, a three-pointer, or a carrying and killing him in, all kinds of moves were played out.

The Cavaliers' proud wing group was solved by Xie Hou in one game.

Larry Hughes, Ariza, Pitrus, and Barnes, had no one-game enemy of Xie Hou.

"I don't know what they are thinking. Isn't the regular season lesson enough?" McGuinness strongly criticized the Cavaliers' match-up arrangement.

He thinks the Cavaliers shouldn't let the Flanks play with Xie Hou on the wheel: "When a player like Arthur, you're going to make him one-on-one is an insult to him."

Yes, Xie Hou also believes that there is no need to talk about morality when dealing with players like him. Let them go together so that he can pass the ball to his teammates and defeat them one by one.

It is interesting to educate others one-on-one, but if you want to play a series like this, Xie Hou will vomit.

The Knights' strategic mistake caused their flank group to be beaten by Xie Hou alone.

Wade scored 37 points in the empty score, losing to Xie Hou's 45 points.

In the first game of the division final, the Cavaliers lost the game with a sharp turn.

"Don't be proud, this is just the first game." Wade spoke fiercely.

Xie Hou Yangyang smiled complacently and said, "Perfect? ​​Do you think I look proud? I am not proud at all, I am proud."
Chapter completed!
