Irving slowed down for a moment and walked to the free throw line, and the Cavaliers fans watching the live broadcast breathed a sigh of relief.

With both free throws at 105:102, the Cavaliers won't lose at least regular time.

This time the Warriors must have been three-pointers, Curry received the ball under the double cover of his teammates, rushed to the side and ignored the front defense to shoot, but Curry, who is good at three-point killing, missed the ball, and the Cavaliers won the first win in the Finals.

James, Irving, and Zhang Xiaotian teamed up to score 88 points, which can be said to be three strong points to strangle the Warriors.

Despite the loss, Warriors coach Kerr praised his players, "They've done a great job, we've tried different things, it's just that James is too strong, too talented......"

James said: "We know what we need to do in the key moments, we did it, but in the future we have to play better, they are not easy opponents. ”

It's just that Owen still has a problem with his knee.

Although his final free throw was not affected in the game, he felt a lot of pain when he returned to the locker room.

The news shocked the outside world, unlike the previous Hawks, the Warriors are very tough opponents, and if Irving can't play, the Cavaliers will have a hard time.

"I hope he can fight, I'm serious, I know you probably don't believe me, but I'm serious." Warriors coach Kerr said to reporters.

The Cavaliers said that whether Irving can play or not can only be decided after a specific inspection, and whether Irving can play or not, others must be prepared.

As a teammate, Zhang Xiaotian knows very well that even if there is no big impact, Owen will definitely not be able to play.

"This playoffs are really troublesome." While resting at home, he sighed a little.

But then he was determined that he had to win the championship no matter what.

He still has hole cards, and if Irving doesn't play, he will tear through the Warriors' defense.

After it was determined that Irving wasn't going to play in Game 2, almost no one thought the Cavaliers could win.

After all, it is the home court of the Warriors again, and one more point of attack is not just a matter of one more person scoring, but a matter of containment, and it is easier to score with Irving in Zhang Xiaotian and James.

The Cavaliers started with Dellavedova who played soy sauce on the court, the team had Irving and James, and the bench No. 1 position was basically dispensable, but this time because of Irving's health, Dellavedova has been given several opportunities.

Basically, this performance was mediocre, but the hard work of the game was impressive.

In this game, Dellavedova worked better than expected, mainly in terms of Curry's entanglement.

Curry was so entangled that he hit the basket a couple of times.

When Curry was in the doldrums, Klay Thompson showed more aggressiveness.

Zhang Xiaotian was also ruthless after being beaten twice by the opponent, and he used his weight advantage to hit the opponent several times, and finally caused Klay Thompson to foul twice and go off the court early, and then the Cavaliers took the opportunity to take the lead.

There's no doubt that the Warriors were held back by the Cavaliers' defense.

The Cavaliers are also used to playing fast-paced, but they don't mind grinding slowly like the Bulls in front of the faster Warriors.

Curry still doesn't feel good, but James is still unstoppable.

Just as the Cavaliers were about to pull away from the score, Klay Thompson was in full swing again.

Zhang Xiaotian has no problems defensively, he deeply understands what offensive initiative is, and that is why many All-Star level players explode each other, and Klay Thompson has definitely reached that level when he explodes.

However, the Cavaliers did a very good job defensively in this game, and everyone else was limited enough except for Klay Thompson.

On the Cavaliers' side, Zhang Xiaotian put too much energy into the defensive end, and he didn't score so much in the second quarter, but fortunately, the team still maintained the lead in the first half, although it was only 2 points.

At halftime, Zhang Xiaotian discussed the issue of Klay Thompson with the team's coaching staff.

The defense is mainly focused on finding rhythm on the field, but it can also be helpful to know some details afterwards.

Both sides increased their defensive intensity in the second half, and even James was limited.

Draymond Green's defensive ability was on full display, constantly making the Cavaliers make mistakes, and James was also blocked by him.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaotian was more comfortable with Klay Thompson's offensive rhythm and did not let the opponent score easily, and the Cavaliers stumbled to extend the lead by another 1 point.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors were smart this time and didn't let Klay Thompson go off the court.

James did not rest on the Cavaliers' side, he and Zhang Xiaotian only had a short break in the third quarter, and now the score is still tangled, and they are ready to play the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Zhang Xiaotian scored 4 points in a row.

Steve Kerr couldn't calm down anymore and immediately replaced Curry.

A player of Curry's level, even if he hits the iron again, he is the biggest threat on the court.

Whether it's the containment force or his key ball, it will have a big impact on the Cavaliers' defense.

Curry didn't solve the problem after he came on the court, Zhang Xiaotian and James teamed up to score 6 points, and the score gap came to double digits.

In less than four minutes, the Warriors made a second adjustment, this time with a five-man lineup.

The Warriors are fighting with their backs, because James is familiar with small ball in the Heat and played earlier than them, so they also feel that the five small will not be very effective against the Cavaliers.

But after the desperate gamble, the Warriors began to chase the points instead.

The starters are still improving on the defensive end, and they originally thought that Bogut could only limit James' breakthrough by staying on the inside, but in fact, Bogut played a smaller role in the back because of the problem of footwork.

It's Draymond Green who is more efficient on the inside and almost ubiquitous.

After half quarter, Draymond Green had five steals and four blocks this time.

But when the Warriors were about to catch up with the score, Zhang Xiaotian was another three-pointer.

The warriors suddenly felt the heartache that their former opponents often felt, and they grinded desperately for a few minutes, without the dashing spirit of others raising their hands.

Pinching, must be pinched, several players of the Warriors also reacted, Zhang Xiaotian is indeed even more difficult to defend in the final quarter, not an illusion.

But here's the problem, Zhang Xiaotian must be a pinch shot when he comes in, but what to do outside his three-point line, this is what other teams worry about Curry.

The key is that it is not difficult to entangle Zhang Xiaotian closely, the difficult thing is that the feet and body can be opposed, after all, this is the body of a forward, and Curry is still different.

But just when the Warriors looked cool, Curry exploded without warning, scoring five points in a row and making a wonderful pass to Iguodala to hit a three-pointer.

8 minutes didn't even arrive for half a minute, and the overtake was completed in an instant.

Zhang Xiaotian has a feeling of a dog, and he can't get this kind of explosive score even if he hangs it.

David Blatter was also a little panicked, and simply went to the fifth small.
