Perhaps because of the 1-3 deficit that hit the morale, the Bobcats who came to the Quick-Loan Arena did not have the fighting spirit of the previous games at all, and even Roy was in a slump, and the first 6 shots of the whole team were all iron, and the Cavaliers played a 13-0 start, until nearly 5 minutes after the first quarter, they relied on Jack's open three-pointer in the bottom corner to break the scoring drought.

Unfortunately, this did not become the norm, and the Cavaliers did not shrink their defense in this game, but blocked the Bobcats players' breakthrough routes, forcing them to try their touch on the perimeter. Halfway through the first quarter, they scored a measly 8 points, and the Cavaliers had already broken through 20 points, which was quite a huge gap, and such a start was a heavy blow for the Bobcats.

Jackson had to call a second timeout of the quarter, and while the first one didn't seem to be useful, he called a short timeout to cheer up the players. It stands to reason that if a team doesn't feel good, it must do a good job on the defensive end, otherwise it will be easy to be broken down by the opponent, but now the Bobcats' defense has obviously become an ornament.

"Run! Running! Do you know what I mean? Run for me on the field! It seems like you're not interested in defense, so go for it, run and pull out space, dare to shoot, trust your teammates, OK? ”

There is no shortage of players for the Bobcats in terms of physical strength, they have just been more lazy in the past period. After the game restarted, the mentality of the group began to change significantly, and the running became aggressive, pulling the Cavaliers' defense while creating a lot of open shooting opportunities. Roy also regained his form at this time, scoring six points in a row to help the Bobcats re-narrow the gap to single digits, which made Jackson on the sidelines breathe a sigh of relief and sat back in his position.

Chang Wei naturally wanted to see the team win, but now James hasn't played much, but the role players of the Cavaliers have fired one after another, which has achieved a big lead. Sure, the Bobcats are starting to get on the ground now, but once James starts stepping up and taking over the game, who knows what will happen? He just switches modes and can't defend at all!

Sure enough, after Roy's mid-range shot narrowed the gap to 6 points, James decisively asked for the ball in the low post, and the position was still deep. It seems that he tasted the sweetness of playing inside in the last game, and he wants to try it again in this game.

Dodging Jack's strange hand, Gibson hoisted the ball into the inside, James received the ball and turned around, put Marc Hill behind him, met Milicic is a slam dunk, and defiantly made a pull-up move. After landing on the ground, James pounded his chest and roared, which instantly ignited the atmosphere of the Quick-Loan Arena, and the Cavaliers fans were frantically waving the flag for the home team's number one star, in their opinion, James is the first person in the league and the pride of all their Clevelands.

The dunk seemed to turn on James' scoring switch, and he then contributed on both ends of the floor, first blocking Ariza's shot and then hitting a three-pointer of his own. When he hit a three-pointer, the ceiling of the entire Quick-Loan Arena seemed to be toppled by the shouts of the fans, and the three-pointer widened the gap to double digits again.

By the time the two sides began to make mass substitutions, the Bobcats were already trailing by 12 points at 23-35, and Mike Brown was shameless in continuing to keep James on the court. Of course, it's a treat for Cavaliers fans, and if it weren't for fitness concerns, they would have been eager for James to play the full 48 minutes in a game, which would have been a feast for them.

Because of James' presence, the Bobcats failed to close the gap for the rest of the first quarter and could only end the first quarter 30-45 in embarrassment. Trailing by 15 points in the first quarter of an away game is obviously not good news.

In the second quarter, the Bobcats players regained their touch a little, but James was still an unsolvable problem. The two sides fought against each other, and no one could do anything on the defensive end, but this one Bobcat was unacceptable, and they couldn't close the score without a scoring climax. It doesn't matter to the Cavaliers anyway, they just need to score on their own, after all, they are the leading side.

The two sides were tied in scoring in the quarter, which also meant that the Bobcats went into halftime with a 15-point deficit. As the team's leading scorer, Roy has done his best, he has 21 points and four assists in the first half, but his teammates are not very helpful, and can only reluctantly accept the fact that the team is behind by double digits at the end of the half.

Although Jackson poured a lot of chicken soup into the players at halftime, but when the top combat power was not as good as the opponent, the Bobcats still did not improve in the third quarter, and even Roy was only 2 of 8 shots in a single quarter under Hughes's stubborn playing, scoring 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists while making 3 turnovers, you must know that he only had 2 turnovers in the first half.

Roy was restrained, and the rest of the Bobcats had little to do, and could only rely on Milicic to force Gooden with his feet under the basket to barely maintain a fig leaf. The Cavaliers didn't chase after each other, the difference between the two sides has been hovering around 25 points, the Bobcats are weak, and the Cavaliers are hoping to play easier and let the players maintain their strength.

That turned the entire fourth quarter into garbage time, but Jackson still didn't replace his main players because it was their last game of the season and everyone wanted to fight until the last minute, even if they were doomed to lose. Out of respect for the opponent, in addition to replacing James and O'Neal, Mike Brown still left Hughes and Gibson and others on the court, and continued to deal with the Bobcats, he was not afraid of the opponent approaching the score, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Bobcats' morale has fallen to the lowest point, reflected in the data is a mediocre shooting rate, and the Cavaliers are not afraid of capsizing in the gutter.

In the end, there were no more waves in this game, and the Bobcats lost the fifth series 90-105 on the road, and were eliminated by the Cavaliers 1-4. But when the final whistle blew, many Cavaliers fans stood up to applaud them, and the young team had earned the respect they deserved. Looking at the history of the NBA, it can be said that there is no team that has made the playoffs in its first year, and the Bobcats' patchwork roster has actually done it.

Of course, a big score like 1-4 is a little bit better than a sweep, but everyone can see that the Bobcats have a big future, give them enough time, and they will give you a big surprise, because this is only their first season.
