Chapter 541: Fatigue
In the last two minutes, the small gap made the Cavaliers players anxious, and losing by 1 point was also a loss, not to mention that their opponent was the Spurs.
This home stadium can't be won, and the stage of the finals is destined to be a supporting role.
The Cavaliers went on an almost frantic offensive run, grabbing two frontcourt rebounds in a row before James hit a three-pointer.
The home fans were buzzing with their belief that the team could come back from defeat to victory.
Vicky also couldn't help but rant on the court, unhappy with the Spurs' rebounding protection.
Zhang Xiaotian has to admit that athletes can burst out with tremendous energy when they are close to despair.
But this energy is not sustained, and after James hit a three-pointer, the Cavaliers' players were very happy, but their bodies also felt a little weak.
Next, Zhang Xiaotian hit a strong shot, and the Knights' offense also ended in iron.
The forward players fought fiercely, and Danny Green protected the rebound.
Zhang Xiaotian took the ball and launched a counterattack directly, his speed was fast enough, and the Cavaliers defenders also ran back desperately to block in front of him.
Just when the other party thought that Zhang Xiaotian was going to impact the basket, Zhang Xiaotian stopped outside the three-point line and raised his hand to make a three-point shot, killing people.
With 6 minutes and less than a minute, it's a very tough situation for the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers took a timeout, and the Spurs also took the opportunity to arrange defensive tactics and defend three-pointers.
After the Cavaliers tossed for 10 seconds and couldn't find a chance outside the three-point line, James had no choice but to rush into the interior and make a basket.
But that didn't help much with the win or the defeat, and the Spurs began to control the time.
The Cavaliers still wanted to defend against a wave, but when the Spurs' offensive time was running out this time, Zhang Xiaotian hit another three-pointer.
Because the last 24 seconds came, the hearts of the knights and soldiers instantly cooled.
They could only force a three-point shot, and the game was closed after they missed.
In the end, they also subconsciously played foul tactics, but it didn't make sense.
In the third game of the finals, the Spurs won the match point with a 9-point advantage, with a total score of 3:0.
James scored a triple-double, but Zhang Xiaotian scored a game-high 44 points.
After the game, James didn't have the sadness of the first two games, and he seemed to have resigned himself to his fate.
In an interview with reporters, he missed his old brother Wade a little, and in the final moments of the game, he was isolated.
Of Spurs, he only said: "They have Zhang Xiaotian, and that's what differentiates them from other teams. ”
Only one more win can successfully defend the title, and now the Spurs can't help but be excited.
Spurs have been strong over the years, but successfully defending their title is an achievement that has not been achieved.
So they can't be called a real dynasty, which is a problem for the Spurs.
It would be a great thing to be able to defend the title.
In the last game, Zhang Xiaotian couldn't take the initiative to adjust his attributes, so he used training to adjust his state very seriously.
Some of his friends and die-hard fans also felt the support from the away stadium and the enthusiasm gave him strength.
He also beat the Warriors like this before, and he is very confident in the Knights.
However, he still had to let his teammates know his form before the game, and he also discussed a lot of tactical issues with **vic.
If you take the game most seriously, you can't go wrong.
The knights are desperate, but they still hope for a miracle.
So this first half will be very important and intense, and if Spurs have to extinguish the last glimmer of hope, the rest will be very easy.
The Cavaliers' strategy has not changed, James does not rest, and directly matches the two lineups.
The more other teams get to the point where they run out, the more they reduce rotation, and the Cavaliers are looking for another way, which is also the biggest use of their lineup, Tyronn Lue is actually doing well, and the Cavaliers' current embarrassment is caused by many reasons.
Before the game, the league staff prepared for the awards.
Getting the trophy away from home, in fact, everyone doesn't mind, and the sooner the better.
The team was about to be knocked out, and the away atmosphere was not very good.
But Zhang Xiaotian still got the same treatment, that is, boos.
At the beginning of the game, James was still leading the team on the offensive end, but the role players didn't feel so good in this game.
Zhang Xiaotian is also doing the same thing, and unlike the Cavaliers, the Spurs players are very excited on the offensive end.
Aside from him and Leonard, Evans has a good hand.
So something awkward about the Cavaliers is that the Spurs have taken the lead.
James is also quite depressed, although he continues to stay on the court, he has lost the momentum of the previous games, and there are fewer scenes of impacting the inside.
Fortunately, the second team played well in the second quarter, and it didn't let the team collapse immediately.
The Spurs gave a few strong points more time to rest, which was not as exaggerated as the regular season, but their mood was obviously much lighter than in the previous games.
It's the knights who don't feel so energetic anymore, they already feel the victory.
Midway through the second quarter, the Cavaliers played a couple of good rounds of offense, and the gap was narrowing, but they didn't hold on.
Zhang Xiaotian led the Spurs to counterattack in a wave, and the Spurs regained their advantage.
Especially the three points at the last moment, the knights were very helpless, they didn't understand why Zhang Xiaotian was more accurate at the critical moment, this kind of thing really annoyed them.
At halftime, there was already a jubilant atmosphere in the Spurs' locker room.
** Vicky was also happy, but he still stood up and poured some cold water on everyone, and it was too early to be happy before the game was over.
Zhang Xiaotian also told himself to be stable and never give the knight a chance to fight back.
On the other hand, in the Knights' locker room, the atmosphere is completely different, and the silence is frightening.
James was very disappointed, and it was said that the team's personnel changes were led by him, and only he understood that the management looked ahead and did not give him the results he wanted.
The thinking of people in distress will also change, just like lovers will only remember each other's bad when they quarrel, and deep tiredness hits, James put down the snack in his hand, and the hopeless game is over early.
The staff reminded that the third quarter of the game was about to begin, James wiped his face, forced a little spirit, and his usual sanity allowed him to quickly adjust his mood for the game.
However, the bad mood was only temporarily covered up and did not disappear.
After the first few strong singles did not achieve the desired results, a deep sense of fatigue hit James again, and he was a little unable to play.
Then James spent less time on the ball, and the offensive end was no longer as resolute.
It's just that the Cavaliers players are not the only ones like this, and their fighting spirit is very weak.
The Spurs, of course, were not going to give that chance, and they went all out on several strong points and quickly extended their lead. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself?
