After arriving in New Orleans, the Cavaliers continued to have open training sessions as they had in the past.

And unlike the past few games, after this training session, the Cavaliers allowed reporters to interview!

The reporters were quite excited to hear the news, and James, Whiteside and Lew were all surrounded by reporters.

To say that it was slightly embarrassing that Owen, he finished training a little slowly, and wanted to be interviewed to find that no one paid attention to him, so he went back to the locker room by himself.

In fact, in the past two years since James came to the Cavaliers, reporters have paid less and less attention to him, and now it is even more dispensable.

"Why is the team going to be interviewed today, is it because this is probably the last game?"

FOX Sports' intern reporter was young and strong, and he was the first to grab the opportunity to ask questions, asking questions directly to James.

“……”

After a moment of silence from James, the reporter was quickly pushed out by the others.

Doing things also has to be done on different occasions, and this intern reporter is obviously a little more tender.

"Are you confident that your team will win tonight?"

TNT's reporter then asked a much softer question.

'Yes, we've been confident and I know it's going to be tough tonight, but we're confident.'

James replied.

"I believe in my players, I believe in them."

When he was finished, he added.

The sentence seemed to be influenced by Jones's words on the plane, and it seemed to be said to himself.

'We're going to come back 3-1, we came close to doing it last year and we're going to do it, it's not a problem at all.

Whiteside was asked a similar question, but he responded in a much more aggressive manner than James.

And the voice is loud, and James hears it here.

This time he wasn't angry, just smiled helplessly.

After being cheated a lot, I seem to be used to it.

"Damn, do you want to be shameless? Didn't you count how you chased 3 to 3 last year? When the fans all over the world are fools? ”

"Hassan, my head is caught in the door, Whiteside."

"I suddenly understood that the Pelicans lost to the Warriors in the first place, and this Whiteside really can't take it!"

"However, the management of the Cavaliers gave him a contract with a maximum salary! There are 3 years left on this contract! ”

"I feel sorry for LeBron, not only the players, but also the management ......"

"My Emperor should leave Cleveland, there is no hope here!"

"What do you say! The game is not over yet, my emperor will not admit defeat easily, and don't bring the rhythm, since my emperor has chosen to come back, he will never leave again in this life, Cleveland championship! ”

"Come on, the counterattack starts from this one, the first 1-3 reversal in the finals, I am a god!"

……

After the Cavaliers' pregame interview was reported, it caused a wave of controversy among fans on social media.

"Honey, am I going to wear a wedding ring?"

The game was about to start in the evening, and Olsen asked Tang Tian before setting off.

The Pelicans have a match point, which means they could win the title at any time, including at home tonight, of course.

If she succeeds in winning the championship, she will definitely bring her two sons to the game, and wedding rings are indispensable at that time.

"Take it with you."

Tang Tian replied with a smile, prepared.

But he looked at Olsen after he finished speaking.

This scene, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a flag?

On the evening of June 12, the fifth game of the finals officially kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

The winner could be decided tonight, and the world is watching the game.

According to the real-time ratings released by ESPN, the global ratings have already set a new record before the game even starts.

Commentators from various countries have also been in place on the broadcast seats.

It is worth noting that ESPN, which bought the rights to broadcast the playoffs this year, also invited the TNT Big Three to the live broadcast of the program tonight.

It seems that ESPN is bullish on the Pelicans to win the championship at home tonight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to New Orleans Arena, and let's welcome the Pelicans to the arena with our loudest cheers!"

The entrance ceremony began quickly, and after a brief introduction to the starting points of the visiting team, the lights on the scene were dimmed, and the host raised his voice and shouted.

"Number 23, Anthony ~ Davis!"

"Number 5, Monterrez ~ Harrell!"

"No. 11, Zhu ~ Holiday Di!"

"Number 1, Trevor ~ Ariza!"

……

With the host's ultra-high decibel shouts, the Pelicans' starters appeared one by one.

As in the last three games, there are still no changes to the lineups.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now let us welcome our 31st, Don~~ day with the warmest applause and cheers!!"

The host's mood tonight was also quite high-pitched, and the shouting that dragged out the end completely mobilized the atmosphere of the scene.

The cheers at the scene shook the sky.

Everything points to the Pelicans winning the game tonight and successfully defending their title.

After the opening ceremony, the two sides started one after another.

James stood in the half court and looked at Tang Tian, his eyes changed several times, and finally put the braces into his mouth and turned into a determined look.

"Toot!"

At the referee's whistle, Whiteside turned the ball back into the Cavaliers' half, officially kicking off Game 5 of the Finals.

James asked for the ball from Irving in the frontcourt, took the ball and rushed directly to the basket.

He was so fast that Davis' help defense couldn't catch up.

"Bang!"

James held his breath and shook off Ariza before smashing the ball into the basket with one hand.

He looked really good tonight.

Lue was excited on the bench, James is in this state, the Cavaliers are going to win tonight!

In the third game of the series, Lue once bluntly said during the timeout that Davis would not continue his hot form, and then was slapped in the face.

This time, though, his hunch was right.

In the game of elimination if you don't win, James played like burning himself and played absolutely at his peak.

Although Tang Tian and Davis were both online, James exploded with 17 points and 3 assists in the first quarter to help the Cavaliers lead the Pelicans 35-26.

And in the second quarter, perhaps affected by James's state, the "guard with a knife" JR Smith was online, scoring frequently with sudden shots in the bench transition period, leading the team to open the difference to 15 points.

The mourning soldiers will be defeated, these four words have been best interpreted by the Cavaliers tonight.

And this situation continued in the third quarter.

Although Tang Tian played a personal attack wave and once led the team to close the score difference to single digits, James stood up very tough and opened the score difference again.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers led the Pelicans by a full 15 points, 95-80.

Tang Tian scored 30 points in the third quarter, and Davis also scored 16 points.

But James alone scored 37 points on the Cavaliers' side, plus JR Smith's 17 points, which is very different from the past few games.

They have a real chance to win this game now.

Olsen clenched his fingers in front of his chest on the sidelines and nervously turned his head to look at the Pelicans' bench.

Over there, Stevens was making tactical arrangements for the fourth quarter, and Tang Tian was listening on the periphery in a training uniform, and it seemed that the opening of the fourth quarter would not be played.

As she learned more about Chinese culture, as Tang Tian jokingly told her, he felt more and more profound.

For example, in terms of character, she now feels that she said in advance that she would bring a wedding ring, which was a loss of character for Tang Tian.

But if Tang Tian knew, he would definitely pat her head and say a little fool.

The media, fans, and even courtside commentators, as well as Jordan before him, were all on the Pelicans.

If there is really a theory of character, it is not a relationship between her alone.

"The Cavaliers' performance tonight deserved a win."

On the commentary bench, O'Neill spoke.

This drew a look of surprise from Barkley and Smith.

Although the Cavaliers played really well tonight, O'Neal is a change of character.

"LeBron was amazing tonight, and J.R. Smith, and he and the Cavaliers will continue to be like that in the fourth quarter."

But O'Neal's next words drew laughter from Barkley and Smith.

Brin and Miller didn't react at once.

"He's helping the Pelicans."

Smith's next words woke them up.

It turns out that O'Neal is in the anti-milk Cavaliers.

Several people in the commentary seat talked eloquently, and at this moment, the fourth quarter of the game continued to kick off.

On both sides are two main players with three substitutes.

The more critical the moment, the more the rotation of the two sides is compressed.

On the Cavaliers' side, James and Whiteside are on the floor, plus Tristan Thompson, Dellavidova and J.R. Smith.

On the Pelicans' side are Davis and Ariza, plus guard West, Louis Williams and Brogdon.

One notable point is that Davis played in the No. 5 position during this time period, and he and Whiteside, two former teammates, went directly to the top.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers took the lead, and James broke through the front court to cause Davis's help defensive foul.

He continued his fiery form with both free throws.

His individual score moved to 39 and the Cavaliers extended their lead to 17 points, adding another point to the possibility of bringing the game back to Cleveland.

There was a stirring on the sidelines.

Many people unconsciously looked at the Pelicans' halfcourt and looked at Tang Tian.

If this rhythm continues, the game is likely to be played at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the team really needs Tang Tian at this time.

Stevens stood on the sidelines with his hands staggered over his chest, his brows furrowed slightly, but he had no intention of changing Tang Tian to play.

The Pelicans' frontcourt missed a wave of offense, and James burst into Whiteside, who smashed Davis' hands away and scored with a powerful dunk.

He slammed in and yelled at Davis.

Jokic couldn't play the Finals due to injury, and his appeal turned to his former partner Davis.

The margin has come to 19 points.

The game is very close to the collapse.

Stevens glanced back at Tang Tian, but still didn't mean to call him on.

A wave of Pelicans frontcourt offense still didn't score, and the sidelines were already in a state of agitation.

"We want Don, we want Don!"

Some fans even started shouting.

They can lose, but they can't lose like this, at least not when Tang Tian is not present.

Stevens finally moved, but he didn't turn around and call Tang Tian, but after glancing at the timer, he shouted at Davis, who was retreating.

"Do something, I need you!"

Davis was already a little annoyed by Whiteside's yelling for a while, and then being yelled at by Stevens like this, the murderous aura in his eyes came out.

On the Cavaliers' offense, James broke through and forced the Pelicans to shrink and give it to Smith on the perimeter.

Smith was on fire in the first half, hitting a couple of shots that could be his best chance of the game.

"Bang dang!"

But with a convulsive player, you never know if he's going to score a shot, because it probably doesn't matter if the chances are good or bad.

Smith didn't take advantage of the great opportunity this time, and the basketball smashed out of the frame.

At that moment, Whiteside jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound.

After losing weight, his confrontation became a little weaker, but his bullet speed became faster.

He grabbed the offensive rebound and dribbled to get up and dunk.

However, Davis stood very well on the ball, and his dunk after the confrontation turned into a layup.

It was this change that gave Davis a chance, and Davis stretched out his long arms.

"Bang!"

A slap to fan the ball back!

And the ball that was covered just fell into Williams' hands!

Ball Swap!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and the morale of this cap was greatly boosted!

Stevens also shook his fist hard.

That's what he wants!

After Williams got the ball, he went on a fast break, showing his ball-handling skills as he went, scoring a layup past Dellavidova, and causing the latter's hitter.

The cheers continued.

They finally survived on the brink of collapse!

Williams added a free throw to bring the deficit back to 16 points.

James broke through and met the bag and distributed it to Thompson, who dribbled to wipe the board and shoot.

But the moment he struck, a long arm went over his head.

"Bang!"

A pegboard hat!

Davis again!

Continuous capping!

And after the block, he also took advantage of the situation to win the defensive rebound!

The Cavaliers failed to make it on two consecutive offensive waves.

The fans on the sidelines were completely hilarious.

Since playing the masterpiece of his career in Game 3, Davis's play has become more and more consistent.

Stevens' furrowed brow widened, and his expression calmed down again.

He's in Bo.

In the first three quarters of the game, Tang Tian and James did not rest for a minute, and if they continued to play like this, even if they could hold on, it would affect the shooting rate at the decisive moment.

So even if the fans coaxed, he held back.

He almost couldn't hold back when the score was 19 points, but fortunately, Davis was competitive enough.

In the Pelicans' frontcourt positional battle, Lue opened his mouth wide on the sidelines and shouted, and the Cavaliers gave a high level of defensive intensity.

Seeing that the offense was about to fail again, Holiday finally threw the ball to Davis.

Davis deceived Whiteside with a fake shot from the ball, and then broke inside with the ball.

After all, he is a power forward, and he is much more flexible than Whiteside.

Whiteside chased after him and jumped up to block the moment Davis made a move.

He was covered with one in front of him, and it was a tooth for a tooth!

However, Davis suddenly accelerated and turned into a dunk.

"Smack!"

"Bang!"

Whiteside's block went to Davis' arm, and Davis dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

A 2+1!

The whistle was incessant.

Davis is blocking again in this section, and it is 2+1 again, completely suppressing Whiteside!

Davis' penalty opportunity.

It was also at this time that Stevens turned around and called Tang Tian.

ps: It's the last day of the month, the commanders flipped through the ticket clips and voted for the monthly ticket for the tomato! Love you guys!
