After winning this game, the whole Bobcat team rejoiced, and Chang Wei was also very optimistic about the team's prospects of promotion. Although there have been teams in NBA history that have come back from 3-1 down to advance, the morale of the two sides is now in stark contrast, and despite the next game coming back to Cleveland's Quick-Loan Arena, Chang Wei still believes the team can win.

But that doesn't mean they can herd their sheep, and victory doesn't fall on their heads for no reason. If you're not prepared, it's normal to lose away from home. The league was very humane to schedule Game 5 on the third day after Game 4, which meant that the Bobcats had two days off, but the next day they only had half a day's rest, returned to the gym in the afternoon to prepare for the next game, and flew to Cleveland that evening to prepare.

Jackson, while full of confidence, is also very cautious about this match. Before the game began, he went through the tactics over and over again in the dressing room, and everyone could tell he was nervous. It's true that the Bobcats are now just one step away from qualifying, but what if they become another team that leads 3-1 only to be overturned? In that case, Jackson will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and no one will think that this is his second year in the NBA, but only his dish.

If you want to not be overturned by your opponent, the fifth game is crucial, as long as you can win, then there is no problem. That's why Jackson was so nervous before the game, Chang Wei was a little funny when he saw it, caution is necessary, but don't go too far, if the players are infected by the coach's mentality, then the outcome of this game is not easy to say.

Fortunately, the Bobcats' starting five didn't learn from the head coach, especially Roy, who looked like he was playing an inconsequential regular season. His attitude made his teammates also relax, just look at the talk and laughter they had when they entered the field, Jackson didn't see this scene, Chang Wei was relieved at the back of the team.

This time, the Cavaliers still put on a lineup that looked like a big four small, and Jackson also put Mark Hill in the starting lineup in order to limit James. Milicic is not dissatisfied with playing as a substitute, after all, he may have more opportunities to play when playing with the substitutes, and wouldn't it be nice to brush up on the points when the time comes?

After the game officially started, James struggled to help the team get the first wave of offensive possession, but when West gave the ball to the inside, James was caught by Marc Hill and Gasol Jr., and couldn't even pass the ball. Gasol Jr. saw the opportunity to cut the ball straight away, and then a long cross-court pass to Ariza, who scored an easy layup.

The Cavaliers can be said to have a back-to-back game this game, but it seems that no one other than James has no fighting spirit. Ariza's counter-attacks didn't get them to take a step of their own, except for Gibson who chased it back, and Hughes and West gave up when they ran to the center lap, and judging by their pace, it was insulting to say that running.

Everyone could see that James was upset, and when he returned to his own half to receive the ball, he shouted a few words to his teammates. Chang Wei didn't hear what he was saying clearly, but he knew with his knees that he was dissatisfied with the goal just now, although the mistake was his own, but his teammates didn't give him enough support, and he didn't even return to defense, which made people angry.

The Cavaliers played barely as well as James cheered, but the Bobcats played better than them on the road. Roy's composure was on full display in such a crucial game, and under his leadership, the Bobcats players set off wave after wave of scoring surges, beating the Cavaliers out of breath, and they looked like they were the ones playing on the road.

With 4:21 left in the first quarter, Jackson made a regular substitution, but Brown had to continue to keep the starters on the court, because the Cavaliers were already 12 points behind by this time, and if they were still on the bench, they might be directly beaten by the Bobcats. However, stimulated by the main players, the Bobcats' benches were not easy to mess with, not to mention the addition of a starter like Milicic, who still maintained a 10-point lead by the end of the first quarter.

Brown was troubled by this situation, and James was also upset, so he offered to play at the beginning of the second quarter and continue to play with his bench players. Brown wanted to refuse, but looking at the numbers on the scoreboard, he could only sigh and wave his hand to let James continue to play, and now he has no other way, and he can only rely on James to win.

James, who was holding back his energy, scored six points in a row at the beginning of the second quarter, and also assisted Devin Brown to hit a three-pointer, which instantly narrowed the gap between the two sides to one point. Chang Wei couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly on the sidelines, James's team seems to be not underestimated at the end of the game, let alone only falling behind by double digits now, and sure enough, now he has helped the Cavaliers narrow the difference between the two sides to a range that can be changed by one goal in less than 1 minute, and the strength of the top stars is really not blown.

Jackson is even more scrambling to change the starting lineup, and now that the morale of the Cavaliers and the atmosphere of the quick-loan arena have been driven by James, he doesn't want to see the good lead directly reversed. The Bobcats' starting five quickly stabilized the situation after coming on, but they couldn't open up the gap again, and the difference between the two sides hovered around five points.

Chang Wei is not very worried about this situation, every time the Cavaliers or James hits a shot, there will always be someone on the Bobcat's side who will stand up and respond to one, and it is good to say in a short period of time that the morale of the Cavaliers will suffer a heavy blow after a long time. In such a crucial game, morale is a very important factor, and whoever can hold the opponent in momentum will have hope of winning.

However, Jackson believes that the team must play a small climax, and it is very difficult to get out of such a confrontation first, and as the leading side, it is very difficult to always be chased by the opponent in the ass. If he can extend the lead, the Bobcats players will be able to take a breather, and Jackson feels like it will still fall on Roy, which is what he must do as a team leader. Roy's character can also be trusted, and Jackson believes he will be able to withstand the pressure in such a crucial match.
