Chapter 708: James or James (2/4!) )
The defensive quality on both sides was unprecedented, and no one before the game could have imagined that Game 5 of the series would be such a game.
Scoring has become the hardest part.
Both teams had great star players, but the excessive physical exertion caused their scoring efficiency to plummet.
And the most incomprehensible thing is James, who has reached this situation, and his desire to attack is not high.
During the break, some fans on the sidelines captured a detail that Blatter and James seemed to be arguing on the sidelines over some issues, and it was not until the persuasion of nearby Tyronn Lue that the situation averted to escalate.
The two teams are still fighting on the court, the Nets' defense is played to the extreme under the loose penalty scale, and the Cavaliers play to the bench and are unexpectedly pulled away a little bit.
Blatter glanced at James from the sidelines, then shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness.
At halftime, the Nets led the Cavaliers by six points, 48-42, and both teams set new series lows in points.
The situation didn't improve in the second half either.
The two teams played with three minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the score on the court was 83-77, and the Nets maintained a five-point lead.
James was caught in the bag with the ball in the frontcourt, and he distributed the ball to Irving.
However, after the ball, he did not stand in place as before, but began to run without the ball, taking advantage of Lefou's block to cut the basket, and waved at Irving when he inserted.
Irving threw his hand to pass, James received the ball and leaned on Yi Jianlian for a tough layup.
The two had a confrontation in the air, but James was completely innocent, and after the confrontation, he squeezed away Yi Jianlian and scored a basket.
Crucial goal!
The margin was chased to 4 points.
The scene erupted in cheers.
Although it came a little late, James was still James.
Yi Jianlian couldn't help coughing after he landed, James's power is really perverted, you must know that he has been blessed by the system.
"Steady! Steady! Tang Tian was cheering for the players on the sidelines at this time.
Although there are still more than 2 minutes to go, in such a slow pace, the advantage of 4 points is not small.
Jokic's frontcourt organization, the two teams of off-ball players on the court are another hand-to-hand fight.
Butler's open cut got his chance, and Jokic seized the fleeting opportunity to flick the ball away.
"Smack!"
But just before the ball arrived, James came out halfway and intercepted the ball!
Fortunately, Deron reacted quickly, and when he saw James speeding up, he went over and grabbed him, and fouled him early to interrupt the Cavaliers' fast break.
Irving carried the ball to the frontcourt, James fell to the right wing, and at this time it was Butler who defended him, and the key ball was still the key defender.
James motioned for his teammates to pull away, then reached for the ball.
In the final moments, he finally started to increase his individual attack.
The Cavaliers can shoot three-pointers on the court except for Thompson, and after this sense of space on the court is pulled out, the Nets do not dare to wrap it up at will.
Butler sank his weight to top James, his defensive ability is S-level, but this round of the series was a little disgraced, because he was facing S Jade!
James chiseled in twice, saw that the Nets had a bag on the weak side, and after forcing Jefferson Jr. back with a look, he turned directly to the free throw line, and then chose to shoot backwards.
Since Tang Tian enriched James's arsenal, he has insisted on high-intensity training in recent years, and has improved his projection level to the top in the league.
"Huh!"
James threw it back against Butler's big difficulty.
The cheers of the fans at the scene exploded instantly.
James scored 4 points in a row at the critical moment, and the difference was narrowed to 2 points in one fell swoop!
Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a timeout.
He really created one of the most buggy opponents for himself.
"Delong, you will play the next ball."
When the team members got off the field, Tang Tian pointed directly at Delong and said.
Coming back from a timeout, the Nets replaced Jefferson Jr. with Gordon.
DeLong carried the ball to the front court, pressed on the perimeter for about 10 seconds, and then sank his center of gravity.
The Nets players are fully stretched out on both wings at this point.
This is an obvious tactical deployment, and Tang Tian has arranged Delong's singles tactics.
After DeLong saw the space come out, he changed direction directly to the left and then received the ball backwards, a standard crossover.
His crossover was better at the sense of rhythm, and after shaking off half a body, he pressed Owen to kill inside.
James saw it and put it in directly, and he selectively released Butler.
Deron saw James coming to help defend and made an early emergency stop, and took a jump at a step inside the free throw line.
Irving didn't brake the car and was pushed directly to the basket without giving Delon interference, but James used his physical fitness to fly over.
Deron turned his stop into a backward and dodged James' block in the air.
The ball flew over James' fingertips.
The hearts of the fans at the scene tightened.
"Huh!"
A crisp sound caused an uproar, and Delong's key ball was also scored against James's supplementary defense!
There was a burst of excited shouts from the Nets' bench, and McConaughey was flying with their towels.
Delong's goal is so handsome!
Tang Tian also nodded, it was the giant star that was played at the critical moment, and Delong slowly recovered to his peak state, and sure enough, he did not disappoint.
DeLong's goal was pivotal, with more than two minutes left in the game and the Nets holding a four-point lead.
Both teams each failed to score twice, and the score was still 85-81 with a minute to go.
In the offensive round of the Cavaliers, all the fans at the scene had already stood up, looking at the court, and many people even reached out to pat their chests.
The Cavaliers must score, and if they don't, the game will be over.
James was targeted to death by Butler in the frontcourt and didn't let him catch the ball.
Irving directly chose to be strong, and the rhythm of holding the ball changed to produce Dellon, his speed was still fast, and he successfully hit the basket after squeezing through.
The Nets contracted at this time, and he chose to shoot early.
"Bang!"
It's a pity that his hand became cold under the high-pressure defense tonight, and the key ball still couldn't be thrown.
At the critical moment, Thompson exerted his strength, struggling to grab an offensive rebound in Jokic's arms and throw it to the outside James.
James catches the ball and is snuggled by Butler.
Time was passing by minute, and Butler's closeness made James not have too many opportunities to shoot.
James flicked his body to force out a little space for himself, and after dribbling a step, he shot directly outside the three-point line.
Butler was completely on the defensive at this point, jumping up and distracting from his feet.
A successful defense!
"Bang!"
The ball interfered and smashed onto the rebound.
But the ball went in after the bounce!
The emotions of the audience exploded directly, and at the last moment, James scored 7 points in a row, and the difference was chased to only 1 point!
With 30 seconds left before the end of the game, Tang Tian called a last timeout.
James was also extra excited when he came off the court, and he took off his braces.
Raise your legs high.
Spread your hands flat and press down on the sides of your legs.
Left leg.
Right.
Then he slapped himself twice on the chest.
Roar again.
!
This celebration action that was originally for the knights under Tang Tian's rule was made against Tang Tian this time.
James, still that James!
