The second half of the game was the same as the first half, the Cavaliers except James players were difficult to score under the pressure of the Nets, and James in the second half of the physical strength decreased significantly, offensive efficiency declined, the final result was that after a stalemate with the Nets at half court, the game was directly spent in the third quarter.

Throughout the fourth quarter, James bit his fingernails and sat on the sidelines with the main players of the Cavaliers in a daze, with a very blank expression.

113-86, after more than a quarter of garbage time, the Nets won the first victory of the Eastern Conference finals at home with a comfortable victory.

Irving scored a Nets-high 22 points, Butler and George each scored 15 points, Mitchell scored a bench-high 21 points, and the Nets had six players in double figures.

On the Cavaliers' side, James scored a game-high 40 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, but couldn't get a win for the Cavaliers.

With the exception of James, Love scored 16 points, but shot just 6-of-20 from the field, and no one scored in double figures.

"What more can we ask LeBron to do?"

Ross Barkley's words at half-time made headlines in many media outlets at the back.

When James plays like this, the Cavaliers can't win, you really don't know what advice to give to this team.

However, Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue was more calm, and in the post-game press conference, he bluntly said that the team needs other players to step up and share the pressure for James in the later games, and admitted that the team will make some adjustments in the next game.

As for the question of whether James has been playing for too long, Lu also seems very calm: "LeBron is a warrior, even if I want to replace him, he will not agree." ”

The first game of the Eastern Finals came to an end, and the result of the game was similar to the first game of the Western Finals.

Both the Warriors and the Nets are clearly a step better than their opponents, and they are the only ones who have the strength to fight each other for a series.

This is the unanimous opinion of the media and fans, who are now expecting the two teams to take out their opponents early and meet in the finals.

However, at this moment, there were some changes in the West Decision.

The third game of the Western Conference finals is back in Houston, and this game is a do-or-die battle for the Rockets, and if they lose, they will be at a 0-3 disadvantage, and the probability of a comeback is zero.

D'Antoni started the bench forward Jermichael Green at the No. 5 position in this game, played a small lineup with the Warriors, fought outside offense, and with the performance of Paul and Harden combined for 65 points, they actually won the third game and pulled the score to 1-2.

Such a result is a surprise and also makes fans realize that the teams that can reach the division finals are all strong, and it is too early to say elimination.

The day after the end of the third game of the Western Conference Finals, the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals also continued in Brooklyn.

At the opening ceremony before the game, fans saw Lu's so-called changes.

Thompson was removed from the starting lineup, Love was pushed to the No. 5 position, James was the No. 4 position, Jeff Green was the No. 3 position, and the perimeter was still Korver and DeLong.

This is the little lineup that Lu is most obsessed with.

Tang Tian just smiled when he saw it, this lineup was about to be blown up by the Nets.

At the beginning of the game, Jokic, Butler, and George took turns to attack the inside, and Love took care of one or the other, and he couldn't prevent it with James's help defense, so he got two fouls early.

Lu's adjustment was directly declared null and void.

The game seemed to be even more suspenseless than the first.

However, after replacing Lefu with Thompson, the Cavaliers suddenly found a defensive state, and even successfully defended and counterattacked, and when they entered the rotation for more than 9 minutes in the first quarter, the score on the court was 20 draws!

In this comparison, it seems that Lefu is the team's biggest defensive black hole.

Tang Tian didn't expect the Knights to suddenly gain momentum, it seems that just like in the previous life, the Knights are really not defenseless, but there are a lot of internal problems.

The two sides entered the rotation, James still didn't get off the court, and Lu really James.

The situation changed again at this time, and after finding a feel on the defensive end, the Cavaliers seemed to open up at once, and the bench period put Rondo to defend Mitchell, and beat the Cavaliers 6-0 in the last two minutes, ending the first quarter with a six-point lead.

Tang Tian went to George in advance to share the offensive pressure, but the Cavaliers' tactics were implemented very well, that is, to release Rondo.

Rondo didn't feel good on the outside, and he didn't score several shots in a row, and the Nets' situation on the court fell into passivity.

When James scored a fast break and stretched the difference to 8 points, Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a timeout.

Irving hasn't been recovering long from injury and isn't suitable for playing too much time, but point guards Ryrondo and Murray are inconsistent in their three-point shots, Mitchell can shoot, but he can't play yet, and Wade is the opposite.

After calling a timeout, Tang Tian called Rose up from the end of the bench.

Although the defense is a little worse, Rose has been in good shape since he arrived at the Nets, he can break through, and he can also share some of Mitchell's defensive pressure.

After the timeout, Rose replaced Rondo, and the other four were still Mitchell, George, Tucker and Oden.

On the Cavaliers' side, James still didn't play, and the other four were Hill, Clarkson, Love and Nance Jr.

Seeing Ross on the field, the scene erupted in cheers.

Rose rose to fame at a young age and was the second-youngest MVP, and after falling due to injury, his experience has always evoked sympathy and empathy, let alone his appearance on the division finals stage.

Rose's dreadlocks and beard are very different from the youth of yesteryear, but this does not prevent the fans from cheering him on.

Rose dribbles to the front court, stops the ball and other team running tactics.

He is not the MVP of the storm now, but the third point guard of a team, and the work he does is also the work of a point guard.

Mitchell continued to borrow and dismantle no chance, and the Cavaliers were staring at him at that point.

And Clarkson, who is on the opposite side, knows that he is not good at three-point shooting, and he is a little far away at this time.

Halfway through the attack, George ran out and reached for the ball and singled out Jeff Green's pull-up jumper.

Green did a good job defensively and interfered with shots.

"Bang!"

The ball smashed into the front of the basket and ejected a long rebound.

Under the basket, Oden and Nance Jr. didn't catch it, the ball flew to the free throw line, and a figure suddenly rushed over to get the ball.

Ross!

Because he was placed at the three-point line, he picked up the ball with an acceleration at this moment.

Without waiting for Hill on the side to react, Rose took a step forward and threw a small throw.

Nance Jr. was stuck by Oden's big body and couldn't get over the interference.

"Huh!"

Rose's undisturbed throw hollow was caught.

Although he has not appeared in the playoffs, he has a good hand this time, and it can be seen that he usually trains in private.

There was also a burst of cheers from the audience, and being able to see Rose galloping in the Eastern Conference finals and scoring points was enough for a lot of people.
