Barkley expressed support for James on social media.

Hey, there seems to be something strange mixed in.

All in all, James' profile in the media at this time was perfect, and his behavior inspired more than just Cavaliers fans.

According to follow-up media reports, they felt an "unprecedented" enthusiasm in the Cavaliers' daily training.

"They're burning themselves."

This is how a local reporter described the state of the Cavaliers players.

Although the way of posting on social media is a bit deliberate, in the end it perfectly achieved the desired effect.

When your team leaders are up in the middle of the night practicing, it's hard not to get infected.

They will fight back in Phoenix!

…

After the first two games of the series, the Suns returned to Phoenix the next day.

I just returned to the locker room after training that day, and the players were chatting.

Frye and Lopez were discussing the possibility of winning the championship at home.

Barbosa was talking about the championship parade.

Of course it's just chatting after training.

At this moment, Richardson held his cell phone and showed him the news about James in the media.

Lin Ying couldn't help but rub his forehead after seeing it.

First it was "The King's Speech" and now it's "Cleveland at 3:33 AM."

James really knows how to make a living!

And there is a reason why Kobe started working at 4 a.m. instead of at other times because many elite people in Los Angeles get up at 4 a.m. to work.

But after rubbing his forehead, Lin Ying seriously felt that G3 would be more difficult to hit this time.

The Cavaliers' current wave of players is actually quite good. If James can really play tough, the Cavaliers will have a chance to make a comeback.

There have been many 0-2 reversals. Even if this range is narrowed down to the finals, it has happened three times in history.

Therefore, don't be careless.

"Be prepared for a difficult game!"

Lin Ying said with a very serious expression.

The third game is still very crucial for the Suns. If they win 9 out of 10 times, if they can't win, it's really hard to say how the series will turn out.

If you really think about it, the Lakers were leading the Suns 2-1 but were overturned.

Lin Ying's words interrupted Barbosa's communication, and the group of people looked at each other seriously.

Although they were just chatting, their easy wins in the first two games really made them feel a little relaxed.

…

The Finals are about to move to Phoenix, and now it's Suns fans' turn to get excited.

The next three home games will be played in Phoenix!

A whole three!

As long as the Suns hold on, the probability of winning the cup at home is extremely high!

But excitement is excitement, and you will find that you rarely see Suns fans on social media.

Just like the "petition" sent to Barkley before, Phoenix fans really don't want to bring any negative things to the team.

Before the game is really over, they are the quietest fans in the world!

Of course, that was on social media, in Phoenix, a hot city once again dominated by basketball.

On G3 game day, Phoenix was packed with people.

The excitement and celebration on the faces of the fans, although they were not spoken aloud, you could tell it was "We want to be the champions!"

"Let's see how LeBron will lead the Cavaliers to start a Jedi counterattack!"

With Barkley's commentary, G3 of the finals officially started.

The lineups on both sides were the same as in the previous game, but the Cavaliers started the game with a completely different mental outlook from the previous two games.

That's not just a matter of enthusiasm, but as some media reported before, they are "burning."

They tried their best in every detail, even every pick and roll!

Of course, that's only one aspect. What's more important is that Brown designed extremely complex pick-and-roll tactics for James.

One, two, or even three consecutive pick-and-rolls had only one purpose, which was to push Lin Ying away from James.

This approach seems weird, but it works very well.

Because the main reason why Lin Ying can guard James is that he can limit James' starts.

If James can be moved through pick-and-rolls, Lin Ying's defensive effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Naturally, it won't have the same effect as the first two games.

James also becomes more courageous as he fights.

Although the Suns played well at home, the more powerful Cavaliers suppressed the Suns on the court for the first time.

The game was tied at the end of the first quarter and led by 10 points at halftime. Before the main force returned in the fourth quarter, 98 to 83, the Cavaliers expanded their lead to 15 points!

Gentry was forced to call a timeout.

When the timeout came out, James turned around excitedly, found O'Neal, gave O'Neal a big chest bump, and then let out a cathartic roar.

O'Neal is right, he can do it, he can lead the Cavaliers to do what the Heat did back then! Become a true legend!

During the timeout, the Suns were unusually quiet.

From being behind by 10 points at halftime to now being behind by 15 points, they allowed the Cavaliers to open up the score by another 5 points, or it can be said that they only opened up the score by 5 points.

Gentry's chicken soup, Butler's encouragement, so everything that can motivate the players was actually used.

But the Cavaliers are in really good shape tonight, maybe they really should let this game go and focus on the next two games.

After Gentry laid out the tactics, the players were still a little confused.

Lin Ying cleared his throat at this time.

After a previous players meeting, Nash once said that he had learned how to be a team leader.

That is actually a kind of support.

So he knew what to say in this situation.

Just like what he did when he faced the University of Florida in the finals.

"It's not like we can't lose this game."

There was still time to pause, and Lin Ying's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Even Gentry looked at him unconsciously.

Because the surrounding sounds were very noisy, Lin Ying also turned up the volume as much as possible.

"But we can't lose like this, absolutely not.

If we lose like this, they will think we are pushy.

Then they will do this again in the next game.

In the next game, they will still be like this.

We have worked hard for a season, or even like Steve and Grant for a whole career, are we going to fall short in the end?

No, it cannot, it is impossible!

Even if we can't win, we have to let the Cavaliers know that if they want to plant their flag on the top of Phoenix, they will have to pay a bloody price!

Burn yourself, burn crazier than them!

Maybe at some point, we will find ourselves..."

Lin Ying paused when he said this, then glanced around his teammates,

"There is still hope of victory!"

Chicken soup, who doesn’t know it?

Learned from Rick Barnes!

And Lin Ying was really emotionally involved at this moment.

Everything he said was more than just chicken soup.

Because his desire for the championship is also extremely strong.
