98-97, the Celtics overtook the score!

Now that the third quarter is over, the Celtics have bitten the score, and they have shown that they can compete with the defending champions.

Shangguan Yu's killer goal boosted morale very much, and the Celtic players held back their strength to win the game in one fell swoop.

Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, in the matchup of bench players, the Celtics' bench bandits beat the Cavaliers off the bench.

The difference gradually widened, forcing James to rest for only two minutes and have to return to the court.

With James in charge, the Cavaliers finally stabilized and began to chase the score back. Both sides did their best, and the decisive battle started ahead of schedule.

James didn't start the first half well, but now he is unstoppable. And James's style of play, the more he hits the back, the more advantageous it is, as long as he still has the physical strength, he kills inside, most of the time, it is to create damage, or score.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the Celtics consumed James' physical strength in the first place.

James is tired enough today, but he has a lot of help, and Irving and Love are doing well.

The Big Three began to play, shooting inside and out, scoring again and again, and overtaking the score again.

The Celtics' offense was a bit stagnant. Shangguan Yu's defense is still the tightest. Moreover, Shangguan Yu's physical energy consumption is also not small, and the hit rate begins to decline.

The scene was very passive, but Shangguan Yu didn't want to lose.

At the critical moment, it was Shangguan Yu who stood up to break the scoring drought, and with the last 5 minutes and 06 seconds left in the game, the Celtics attacked, Shangguan Yu ran continuously, and finally took out an empty space to catch the ball. But the Cavaliers defended quickly, and James made up for it.

Shangguan Yu didn't pass the ball out, and held the ball with his back to play alone.

James's strength did not fall into the wind, but Shangguan Yu was not soft at all, and suddenly turned around and threw a backward jumper, which caught James off guard, jumped with all his strength, and still couldn't touch the ball.

This goal is scored!

finally broke the team's scoring drought, and the Celtics' offense was completely revitalized under the leadership of Shangguan Yu.

The offense was opened, the defensive intensity was increased, and at the critical moment, Shangguan Yu was able to defend against James and achieved miraculous results.

Shangguan Yu didn't want to guard against James, as long as he resisted his first step. After the tempering of the offseason and the improvement of strength, Shangguan Yu defended head-on and did not need James. is tall and has long arms, as long as James can't top Shangguan Yu, basically there is no good chance to make a shot.

Irving began to throw money, Love lost his touch, and the Celtics began to gain momentum.

Thomas once again stepped forward to steal the show, the strongest on the surface 175, and was even known as the king of the end. In the final quarter, he always had an amazing burst of combat power, and it was no longer the case.

One person led the Celtics' offense, and a wave of 8-2 offensive mini-climax helped the Celtics overtake the score 113-111.

With 2 minutes and 15 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers were forced to call a timeout.

After returning from the pause, James was like playing chicken blood, facing Shangguan Yu's defense, without any hesitation, and the three-point burst out.

If he hits slowly with his back, Shangguan Yu can still withstand it, but once James rushes up, Shangguan Yu has no rut, and the speed can't keep up.

Horford made up for the first time, but to no avail, James hit a heavy dunk, smashed the ball into the basket, and caused Horford to foul.

With a free throw, the Cavaliers overtook by 1 point.

In the next round, the Celtics attacked, and Thomas did have a big heart.

Broke into Longtan alone, squeezed Irving, shook past James, and threw a shot.

Celtic regained the initiative.

For the next minute or so, they all played cautiously, but they didn't score again.

With 48 seconds left in the game, the ball was in James' hands, and everyone did not dare to act rashly. At the critical moment, it was still for Crowder to keep an eye on James. Seeing that there was not much time left, James continued to crotch, and then changed direction, and when he thought he was going to break through, he suddenly handed the ball to Owen at 45 degrees on the left side.

Irving took the ball and pulled it up, his hand was up and down, and he hit a three-point shot.

At 117-115, the Cavaliers led by two points.

The Celtics called a timeout, set up the final attack, the first starting point, and Thomas. But when he doesn't have a good chance, he must find Shangguanyu, and Coach Stevens will let Shangguanyu run out of the vacant position.

After the timeout, Crowder fed the ball to Thomas, who took the ball for a split second without hesitation and headed inside.

The knight's defense line quickly shrank, and the three of them were eyeing Thomas, but he was not afraid at all.

didn't even glance at Shangguan Yu, who ran out of the vacant seat.

Even the commentator shouted excitedly: "Shangguan Yu, it's empty!" Pass the ball! ”

Shangguan Yu's shout, Thomas turned a deaf ear, his body twisted into a ball, and forcibly shot. The shot was not blocked, but it was also not scored.

James defends the rebound.

Shangguan Yu was very angry, why didn't he give me the key shot?

Shangguan Yu just now is already in an absolute vacancy, as long as Thomas passes out, he will definitely have a higher shooting rate than his forced layup.

The Celtics missed the attack, the Cavaliers were not in a hurry, and the rhythm was pressed.

With only 10 seconds left in the 24-second stretch, Irving used Love to cover and hit the interior to attract the defense, and passed back to James, who scored a thunderous dunk.

The scene was boiling!

James is still the same James, still the King of Cleveland.

With just 18 seconds left in the game, Celtic still had a chance.

Coach Stevens was a little angry about the attack just now, but there was no way, this team relied too much on Thomas. Therefore, the starting point of the attack this time is still Thomas.

After the timeout came back, Thomas came out to catch the ball, Shangguan Yu suddenly came up to cover, Thomas broke through, as if he wanted to play two quick points, but suddenly stepped back, pulled outside the three-point line, and pulled out his hand.

The coach's intention was to grab three points, but Shangguan Yu just now was another good opportunity, but Thomas still didn't pass the ball.

This made many fans who supported Shangguan Yu more or less dissatisfied.

But the game was not over, Thompson protected the rebound, and the Celtics could only foul.

Thompson hit one of two free throws to give the Cavaliers a five-point lead, and with 10 seconds left in the game, the Celtics had little chance of turning the game around.

Under the coach's arrangement, Shangguan Yu finally got the opportunity to make a shot, using Horford to block and catch the ball, defending against two people, and Shangguan Yu scored three points.

But it was too late, and the foul was on Irving, who made both free throws.

The last attack of the Celtics, Thomas missed, and had no choice but to swallow the defeat.

The Cavaliers had the last laugh and could take the lead in what could be the Eastern Conference matchup this season.

In this game, Thomas shot 9 of 23 and made 12 free throws, scoring 30 points and 6 assists, still continuing the hot form of the strongest 175 on the surface since the start of the season.

But his choice of attack in the last few attacks was very problematic and was criticized.

Because Shangguan Yu's performance is even better than him.
