Game 6 between the Nets and Cavaliers is over, and the Eastern Conference finals will usher in a tiebreaker.
Coincidentally, the next day, the Thunder fell short at home with the best chances, losing 101-108 to the Warriors.
In a desperate situation, the Warriors' Klay Thompson scored 11 three-pointers and scored 41 points.
In the player tunnel after the game, Warriors owner Rukeb knelt down directly to Thompson.
The Warriors won the most crucial game and also won two games in a row to tie the overall score at 3-3.
For the first time in nearly a decade, the NBA Eastern and Western Regional Finals will usher in a tiebreaker.
The competition was unprecedentedly intense, and the fans were more excited than ever.
Originally, the Cavaliers and Thunder were really just one step away from the Finals, and now they are both forced into a match.
No one really knows which two teams will make it to the finals.
Even the spinach website was a little panicked when it opened the odds.
The Nets and Cavaliers will be the first to play in the Eastern Conference tiebreaker.
Tang Tian and the Nets arrived in Cleveland the day before.
The players didn't look too nervous because of the tie-break, their nervousness had almost worn off in the last two games, and now they showed more excitement.
No one could have imagined it, including themselves, but they really have the same chance of qualifying as the Cavaliers right now.
Cleveland's fans gathered inside and outside the arena, their faces full of excitement, and although they were forced into a tie-break, they still had confidence in the home team.
"We've got LeBron, we're at home, we're champions!"
Before the game, when a fan was interviewed by reporters, he shouted at the camera.
This is Cleveland's ball market, which has continued to be hot until now after Tang Tian brought three consecutive championships to the city.
"Do your best for yourselves."
In the locker room before the game, Tang Tian didn't say much, and he didn't need to say too much when he got to this point.
The Quickloan Arena was crowded with people, and the cheers were deafening.
Blatter took the advice of assistant coach Tyronn Lue and made changes to the lineup, moving Love to the No. 5 position, and Richard Jefferson and the Nets played a small lineup.
After failing to win two positional battles, the Cavaliers took the initiative to change.
The Nets also had personnel adjustments, and Tang Tian put Maddy, who played well on the court, directly into the starting lineup.
In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yi Jianlian jumped to win Lefou, giving the Nets the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.
Jokic fell to the front court outside the three-point line, and the Nets players quickly ran into position.
Whether it's blocking or running, the Nets are very accurate, and you can see that they are in pretty good shape.
Maddie came out of the front court and caught the ball in the middle distance.
"Huh!"
He has made a shot, and he has continued the excellent form of the last game.
The Cavaliers' offense, James fell into position and asked to continue to play back.
The Nets didn't hesitate and went straight to the bag.
James distributed the ball to Smith, but Smith buttered his hand and caught the ball to rush directly, but the ball skater went out of bounds.
There was a stirring at the scene.
Such a low-level mistake is too undeserved, and it is just beginning.
Gordon's three-pointer missed, James picked up the defensive rebound, he gave the ball to Irving, and he went to play without the ball.
Owen saw the opportunity and flicked the ball after James came out.
However, there was a deviation in the judgment of the timing of the two, and the ball was passed before the person arrived, and it was directly cut off by Butler.
There was an uproar at the scene, and the state of the Cavaliers was ...... At the beginning, he made two mistakes in anger!
After Butler broke the ball, he pushed the fast break, and Delon received the ball in the middle court and rushed to the frontcourt, and the front court used his power to squeeze Irving away and score a layup.
The Nets started the game 4-0.
Blatter couldn't sit still on the sidelines, got up and walked to the sidelines, looking at his expression and looking a little dissatisfied with the team's performance in this section.
The Cavaliers had a chance in the frontcourt, but Smith's three-pointer was outrageous, and Jokic picked up a defensive rebound.
DeLong got a chance in the frontcourt, he cut the ball and challenged Love for a layup, but Love stretched out his long arm to interfere and the ball slid out of the basket.
But Jokic reached out and picked up the offensive rebound, turned around and hit the board and scored a second offense.
6 to 0.
For the first time in the series, the Nets got off to a dominant start.
"Speed! Velocity! Blatter shouted from the sidelines.
Lue's suggestion was to play as fast as the Warriors, but now that the speed is not up, and he is still playing such a start, he is obviously in a hurry.
James dribbled to the frontcourt, accelerated from outside the three-point line, and rushed straight inside.
The Nets' defense was a little too late, and James rushed to the inside to press Jokic to score the ball.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and the Cavaliers finally scored, still relying on James.
The Nets attacked in the frontcourt, and Maddy didn't score a three-point shot from the outside, but Yi Jianlian rushed to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, and after grabbing it, he caused James to foul again.
Love is significantly less protective than Thompson or Mozgov on five rebounds.
Yi Jianlian went to the free throw line and hit both free throws.
Irving grabbed three points in the front court to speed up, but unfortunately the ball did not go in, and the rebound was won by Jokic.
"Stabilize and take a position." Seeing Jokic raise the ball to pass, Tang Tian shouted on the sidelines.
He is not too familiar with the small lineup of the Cavaliers, this is Tyronn Lue's favorite lineup in the previous life, but unfortunately Love does not have Green's defensive ability, and the protection of the restricted area is too poor, and it is a burden to not be able to raise speed.
The Nets attacked in the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian didn't score in the middle of the shot, Jokic grabbed another frontcourt board, and Butler cut in the middle and scored again.
10-2, James scored 2 points, but the Nets immediately followed another wave of 4-0.
The Cavaliers attacked in the frontcourt, and there was another mistake in the coordination between James and Irving, this time it was Irving, who slipped his hand when receiving the ball and kicked the ball out of the court with one kick himself.
There was a commotion at the scene, and the fans' eyes were full of incredulous looks.
Irving and James have been a bit of a match since they met with the Cavaliers, and the two have been top-notch in terms of cooperation and tacit understanding.
But in this game, it has only been played for less than five minutes, and there have been 2 mistakes in coordination between the two.
It's not even just the two of them, counting Smith's, it's the third time.
Lefu can't protect the penalty area, which has something to do with the lineup adjustment, but this offensive coordination mistake definitely can't rely on this.
Tang Tian also felt a little unbelievable at first, but soon, he understood.
The Cavaliers are stronger than the Nets on paper and on the court, and they are a lot stronger, but they have been beaten twice in a row, especially in the last game, they have played on the offensive end but still lost, which is a fatal blow to the team's morale.
Morale is a key thing for a team, and the same squad can play exactly the same way.
He had always regarded the Cavaliers as the biggest enemy in the East before, and he didn't think about it, but now that this situation occurs, it seems that the Nets are really going to win this game!
