As Lu knows, the team that wins Game 3 1-1 has a whopping 78% promotion rate.

This is the finals, which means that the probability of the Pelicans winning the championship has been as high as 78%!

But after this game, there were some unexpected changes in the mentality of both sides.

The Cavaliers lost but gained confidence.

The big defeat in the second game made them lose for a while, but in the third game, they still played with the Pelicans until the last quarter when James played poorly, and they only lost the ball when Tang Tian broke out and scored 25 points in a single quarter.

In other words, James can't be limited every night, and Tang Tian can't score 25 points in a single quarter every night, as long as the Cavaliers don't blindly impact the Pelicans' interior line, then they have a great chance of winning!

It's a mindset change for the Cavaliers, and so is the Pelicans.

After Tang Tian played the third game, he also knew that the offensive talent of this Cavaliers team was better than he imagined.

Needless to say, James evolved ahead of time; There is also Owen, because of the hard training brother training camp, his strength has also evolved in advance.

Both of them are better than they have been at the same time in history, not to mention the addition of Thaddeus Young to the bench.

Once players like Irving and Love break out again, and with the skew of the penalty scale that has existed throughout the series, the game will become just as tough as it was on the court.

Before redeeming the legend, he couldn't really do a full game of five or five.

Game 4 of the Finals will still be played in Cleveland.

There was a two-day break in between, and the Pelicans practiced daily at the local training gym.

Before the start of the first day's training session, Tang Tian found Stevens.

"We might have to think differently."

After thinking about it all night, Tang Tian made a subversive suggestion to Stevens.

He suggested that Stevens and the Cavaliers play against each other.

In the last game, Irving was in a hot state, ignoring the Pelicans' defensive system, and no one can guarantee whether Irving or James will do it again in the future.

In terms of offense alone, these two are supergiants, and they can ignore defense when they are in shape.

More importantly, of course, they couldn't change the scale of the referee's decision that ran through the series.

Because of the fear of the whistle, in order to prevent the foul crisis like the previous game, the defensive intensity will naturally be weakened.

Rather than being forced to accept the foreseeable facts, it is better to adjust your thinking and change your approach.

The referees can blow the whistle more on the defensive end, but as long as the Pelicans can shoot the ball, the referee's influence will also be weakened.

Just like in the last quarter of the last game, Tang Tian won the game with 1 hit 8.

The defense of this Cavaliers team is not strong, and it is even weaker after Lu takes office, and the Pelicans play offense completely.

Stevens agreed, Tang Tian's subversive idea would change the current situation between the two sides.

And it's not just the next game, it's the whole series.

Over the next two days, Stevens switched the team's training to offense.

Two days later, the fourth game of the finals kicked off at the Quickloan Arena.

The scene was crowded and the atmosphere was warm.

When James left the Cavaliers, how much the Cleveland fans hated him, when James returned to the Cavaliers, they loved him so much.

They really have an unconditional love for James and this Cavaliers team right now.

They are desperate to see James complete the redemption and bring the first four-major conference championship in history to the small city.

In order to achieve this, holding on to this home stadium and rewriting the big score to 2-2 is something they have to do.

And the last game showed that it was completely possible.

At the opening ceremony before the game, James' signature action of throwing magnesium powder before the court pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

Domination of the world!

The two sides started out, and the Pelicans made adjustments, with Bojan replacing Ariza as the starting small forward.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Mozgov turned the ball back into the Cavaliers half court to officially kick off the game.

"This game is crucial for both sides, we still have to see Tang Tian's play, and we have to see if the Pelicans can continue to limit James."

On the broadcast seat, Zhang Weiping has already begun to explain.

At this time, on the other side of the ocean, countless fans waiting in front of the TV have begun to get excited.

Cavaliers fans are looking forward to James bringing the city's first championship to Cleveland, while hundreds of millions of Chinese fans are looking forward to Tang Tian getting his first championship as the core!

James came up and played with Love to block and dismantle, and after dismantling, he broke through Bojan to the basket.

Davis didn't shrink inside, only Jokic under the basket came out to help when James burst into the heart of the box.

The Pelicans' defensive intensity in this game was significantly lower than in the previous game.

James made a three-step layup, found an opportunity to make a move after stepping on the third step, and put the ball in the basket after facing off against Jokic.

The cheers continued.

James was targeted for average performance in the last game, and this time he justified himself as soon as he started!

"The Pelicans need to be tougher defensively."

Zhang Weiping analyzed after watching this round.

Turning back to the Pelicans' tactics, Tang Tian burst into the basket to attract the bag and give the ball to Jokic, who followed up.

Jokic's cut further compressed the Cavaliers' defense, and he played to Bojan in the bottom corner, who caught the ball and shot a quick three-pointer.

"Huh!"

The three-pointers are up and down, and Bojan's three-point shot is really solid.

The Cavaliers' offense, Irving also hailed Mozgov's pick-and-roll.

The Pelicans didn't make a change, and Irving seized the opportunity to shoot from the outside.

It was a good chance, but it was a pity that Irving's three-pointer smashed out of the frame.

Irving has scoring explosiveness right now, but he's a little less consistent.

Jokic grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack, and they were pushing fast.

The Cavaliers' retreat was too late, Tang Tian received the ball and shook off Smith and scored with a one-handed dunk.

James broke through the basket to create Bojan's hitter and hit both free throws.

But looking back, Tang Tian assisted Davis to score another goal under the basket.

The Cavaliers' offense played better than the last game, but the Pelicans' offense played much better than the last game!

"I understand, the Pelicans are going to play against the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers' defense is not strong, and it makes sense to play like this."

Zhang Weiping realized it later, and said with an excited smile after reacting.

As soon as his words fell, the Pelicans defended a wave of Cavaliers offense, Tang Tian and Holiday played two and one in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian scored two more points with a fake fax shot.

7 to 4.

The two teams played for more than a minute, and the combined scores exceeded 10 points.

Lu also reacted, but after reacting, he did not panic, but supported his hands and a confident smile on his face.

Offense is what the Cavaliers are good at, and the Pelicans and the Cavaliers play against each other, which is simply self-defeating!
