The Cavaliers continued to catch Durant to play, Paul's breakthrough, Artest's singles, and even Carter, who came off the bench, also rushed in with a bag of explosives, which didn't care about anything, and went straight to the face.

Harden was forced to come over from time to time to help defend, which was physically exhausting, and on the offensive end, Green's stalking cut off the connection between him and his teammates, and his performance was a little lost.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 32-17, and the Cavaliers still led by 15 points.

Brooks' tweaks didn't give the Thunder any advantage.

To make matters worse, after putting Harden in the starting lineup, the Thunder's bench ran out of playmaking and scoring points (Jamison was out of shape, Fisher was here to hug his thighs, Cook was just a three-point shooter, and Collison and Muhammad were just normal role players).

And Carter had no one to play up to the top, and a wave of climaxes passed, and Brooks could only make Harden, who had less than two minutes of rest, strong.

As a result, it is conceivable that Harden, who already consumes a lot of physical strength, has become even more confused after he plays.

In the end, the battle of Tianwang Mountain was not as fierce as imagined, only three quarters were played, and the score difference came to 25 points, and both sides also withdrew early.

101-81, the Cavaliers finally defeated the Thunder by 20 points at home, and won three games in a row after falling behind 0-2, leading 3-2.

Yao Ming had 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Paul had 18 points, 11 assists and 4 steals, Green hit 4 three-pointers and scored 12 points and 3 boards, and Artest and Butler scored 9 points each.

Carter Sr. continued to be on fire, scoring a game-high 25 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks on 11-of-16 shooting.

On the Thunder side, Durant had 25 points and 7 boards, Westbrook had 17 points, 5 boards and 5 assists, but there were as many as 8 turnovers, and Harden played the most confused, shooting 2 of 13 from the field, scoring 6 points, 3 assists and 3 turnovers.

With a score of 3-2, the series also came to the Cavaliers' match point game.

They are really close to the dynasty.

And this score finally made the media turn against each other.

The people who shouted the highest for the Thunder championship before, after turning the Thunder team alive, began to tout Tang Tian and the Cavaliers again.

However, after a desperate 0-2 loss, the Cavaliers, both the coaching staff and the players, maintained a relatively calm mentality.

"We didn't do anything."

Just like Tang Tian emphasized to the players, before they really won the championship, everything was still variable.

After three games in Cleveland, the two sides will return to Oklahoma for Game 6 of the series.

Winning the championship, or ty-breaking, at this moment, the popularity of the finals has reached another peak since the start of the competition.

In TNT's studio, Barkley, Smith, O'Neal, and special guest Olajuwon had a "passionate" discussion.

"Guys! Now it's really time for the most exciting, 3-2, the Cavaliers are down 0-2 and they have a three-game winning streak, and then they get match point, what do you think the series will go next? Barkley threw bricks and stones.

"I think the Cavaliers are going to win the championship, they have pressed the Thunder to the ground for 3 consecutive games, and have you noticed, the Thunder fell behind the Spurs 0-2 in the Western Conference Finals, and then a wave of 4-0 'sweep' to advance, and now they are leading their opponents 2-0, but they are going to be 'swept' by the Cavaliers 4-0, what is this called?" Smith is still a loyal Tang Tianfan.

"Sooner or later, you'll have to pay it back?" Barkley took the call.

Suddenly there was the laughter of a few big fat people in the studio.

"Hey, Shaq, what's your point?" After laughing, Barkley looked at O'Neill.

"Yes, the Cavaliers are gaining momentum, but I think if we go back to the home court, the Thunder will play something different, maybe Westbrook will break through more resolutely, or Durant will turn on the Grim Reaper mode, or Harden will be the X-factor, in short, I don't think Game 6 will be the end." O'Neill and Smith don't have the same point of view.

"If the Thunder wins, then it's the most exciting Finals tie-break?" Barkley is never too big to watch.

"Yes, I'm sure those TV stations will explode, and if you hit the seventh, it's really going to be the Super Bowl." Smith nodded in agreement.

"Hey, Hakim, what do you think?" The three hosts chatted for a while, and Barkley looked at their special guests.

"Yes, Hakim, do you think there will be a tie-break?" O'Neill turned his head as he spoke, his eyes unconsciously tinged with respect.

There are few inside lines in this league that convince O'Neal, and Olajuwon may be the only one.

Although it was not the first time to participate in the show, seeing that the three commentators were looking at him, he still straightened his waist and his expression was more serious.

"I don't think it's going to be a tie-break."

"Why?" Barkley asked first.

"Because of Don."

Olajuwon's answer caused all three of them to laugh in unison.

The final direction of the finals is decided by a head coach, which sounds quite nonsense at first glance, but at this moment they laughed smartly, because the head coach's name is Tang Tian.

"I met Don a few times when he was on the Rockets, and he was a very young guy, but he had a lot of vision, judgment, and execution, and I honestly wondered how Dawson found such a guy.

Then when I came to the Cavaliers, he came to me in Houston and asked me to teach LeBron back skills, and he paid for it himself as a coach, so I knew he was really a perfect coach.

Then look at the series after the Cavaliers lost LeBron, the people are still the same people, but the tactics are constantly changing, and that change is the most targeted and effective, and sometimes you think, oh my God, how did he come up with it!

And then after a lot of times, you will get used to it, he can always do those seemingly incredible things, so in the current situation, Don will not let the Thunder drag the game into a tie-break. ”

Olajuwon spoke for a long time, and Barkley listened to it, and they all nodded their heads unconsciously.

Barkley and Smith bet many times because of Tang Tian, but each time it was the one who pressed Tang Tian who won, and O'Neal went through that season of swinging to the championship, and they knew that Olajuwon was telling the truth.

"So, the Cavaliers Championship?" Barkley said very mischievously after Olajuwon finished speaking.

"Well, the Cavaliers Championship."

"Knights Championship."
