With the attention of many fans waiting, the Magic will finally go to Cleveland today to challenge the Cleveland Cavaliers, ranked first in the East, away.

This game is also the first match between the two sides in the Eastern Conference Finals this season.

However, the showdown in this game seems not friendly to the Magic, because since the Magic defeated the Celtics through tiebreak.

The Magic had only one day off in the middle, and then they had to come to Cleveland overnight to prepare for the first match of the Eastern Conference Finals.

It can be said that the Magic team is in a hurry in time, and even the players' personal physical strength cannot reach the best state.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers have been resting for about ten days. Although the Cavaliers have not played for this period of time, they will also face the factors of the decline in the feel caused by a long lack of confrontation.

However, at least in terms of physical strength between the two sides, the Cavaliers definitely have the upper hand without any suspense, and they look even better in terms of mental outlook.

Unlike the Magic, there were a few people who came to Cleveland with big dark circles, but they were completely unacceptable to the local conditions.

Those who know the inside story also understand that the Magic team urgently carried out tactical exercises on this day. I don’t know that I might think that the Magic team is going to celebrate the victory of the tiebreak, and the whole team went to the Internet cafe to have a group stay...

Before the game started, the entire Speed ​​Loan Center Arena was also full. Although Cleveland is just a small place in the United States, it can even be described as a remote place in the country.

However, in the city of Cleveland, fans' enthusiasm for basketball is very high.

Especially when LeBron James came to the Cavaliers, this brought the Cavaliers fans to a new look.

After all, LeBron James's existence has given Cleveland fans great hope.

Although they have experienced too many disappointments in the past few years, as long as LeBron James is in Cleveland for one day, for the fans here, they still maintain their fantasy about the championship.

In addition, the league is still interested in promoting LeBron James in recent years and has become the league's card and has begun to promote the showdown between 23 vs 24.

It’s just a pity that no matter how secretly the league arranged it, 23 and 24 never met in the finals. I have to say that this is a big regret.

However, for Cleveland fans, they really see hope for the championship this season.

Because this season's Cavaliers not only broke the best record in team history, but also ranked first in the East after the regular season.

Although the Cavaliers only ranked fourth in the league in the championship prediction after the end of the season, second to the Lakers, Celtics and Magic.

But in the eyes of the fanatical Cleveland fans, this is completely a malicious prejudice from the outside world.

Because Cleveland's market is small, the benefits the team can create for the league are definitely not as strong as the other teams, so the Cleveland Cavaliers don't take these underestimations from the outside world at all.

And as the Cavaliers have made great progress since the playoffs, this has further strengthened the idea of ​​Cavaliers fans wanting to win the championship.

Although the Cavaliers' opponents were not very strong in these two rounds of the series, the Cavaliers defeated their opponents without any bloodshed.

So in this case, this also makes Cleveland fans feel a little confident at the moment, and under the crazy shouts of local fans, this also leads to the Cavaliers players becoming more and more confident.

It is even said that the Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown has begun to arrange some tactical strategies for the Finals against the Lakers.

Faced with this situation, Su Jiu was obviously speechless before the game.

"We're just ignored??"

Before the game began, players on both sides warmed up shooting in their respective halfs.

Compared to the taciturn side of the Magic, the Cavaliers, who played at home in this game, seemed more joyful before the game.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, and those who didn't even know that they thought they had already taken the match point 3:0 to lead the way.

Seeing the Cavaliers' smile before the game was so bright, this also made the Magic fans who were watching this game online feel a little dissatisfied.

He even thought the Cavaliers were simply arrogant and threatened that the Magic would definitely deal with the Cavaliers within six games.

The Magic's arrogant words obviously angered Cleveland fans, so before the game started, fans on both sides on the Internet were already starting to curse.

By the time of the year, it had even changed from a team to a personal attack on the players.

However, no matter how fierce the fans on the Internet are scolding, this cannot change the fact that the ratings of this game are still high.

According to a set of data sent back from the front, the Magic vs. Cavaliers in this round of the game are about three percentage points higher than the Lakers vs. Nuggets.

You know, Los Angeles is one of the most economically developed cities in the entire United States, so it naturally has a sense of attention.

This also leads to the Lakers being the most popular team in the league, while the Magic and the Cavaliers are able to suppress the Lakers in ratings again in this round of the series.

This greatly represents the expectations of the local people in the United States for this game.

Of course, there is no need to say much about China. Since the Rockets were eliminated by the Lakers, most Chinese fans have now focused on the Magic.

Because after the Rockets led by Yao Ming were eliminated by the Lakers, the hopes of Chinese fans are all on Su Jiu.

Otherwise, I can't put my hope on Sun Yue, right??!

Um…

Although the Lakers where Sun Yue is located are likely to win this year's championship trophy, the key is that he has a yarn relationship with Sun Yue...

In order to highlight Sun Yue's contribution to the Lakers, Chinese reporters will bite the bullet and write an article.

"Shocking! Sun Yue and Kobe joined forces to score 42 points and 8 assists, helping the Lakers shoot down the Rockets and complete the promotion!"

Um…

Kobe scored 42 points and 7 assists, Sun Yue scored 1 assist...

Or maybe

"Highlights! Sun Yue played for 3 minutes and 27 seconds, made 1 of 2 shots, efficiently scored 2 points and 1 rebound, leading the Lakers to the championship!!"
Chapter completed!
