James is not one to throw in the towel easily, especially when his teammates aren't very helpful. By the end of the third quarter, he had a near-triple-double of 37 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, and among the other Cavaliers players, only Hughes and Gooden scored in double figures, and the others were in single digits, and it was normal to trail by more than 20 points.

Brown is well aware that the only way to come around and win is to rely on James' individual ability. So before the start of the fourth quarter, his instructions to the players were to create opportunities for James as much as possible, to involve the Bobcats' defense through active running, and to put the ball in James' hands, and it was up to him to decide how to attack. This is also a regular option for most managers who coach James, after all, you have a superstar on your team who can make the difference between winning and losing a game, and you have to give him the ball when it matters most.

Hughes they can only grit their teeth and hold on, the help they gave James in the first three quarters can be said to be minimal, but no one wants to lose, despite falling behind by more than 20 points, they still believe that as long as there is James, there is hope of winning.

With that belief, the Cavaliers unleashed an offensive frenzy at the start of the fourth quarter. Although James is still responsible for scoring, others are not sitting idly by, the outside players are trying to run to attract the defense, and the inside players are trying to grab rebounds to protect the basket, and it is necessary to create the best environment for James to lead the team to victory.

The Cavaliers' wave of offense caught the Bobcats off guard, you must know that Jackson thought that the other party would be tied up before, and even the players under him relaxed their nerves, even Chang Wei couldn't guess that the Cavaliers would fight back in such a situation.

One accident, the Bobcats were beaten by the opponent to an 11-0 scoring climax, and the difference between the two sides came to another 10 points, and to make matters worse, it was played by the Cavaliers in less than two minutes. It was clear that they still wanted to win the game and didn't give up because they were behind by a big score. In fact, it's normal to think about it, this is their home court, and if they lose the first game at home, then the Cavaliers have little hope of advancing in this series.

But the Bobcats are no longer a new army...... Okay, this is only their second season, but last year's playoff trip still gave them more experience, and it wasn't much, but it was a good grind for the team in the end. James' back-to-back scoring only made them panic for a moment, but they quickly regained their composure, and at this time, it was the first thing for them to stay calm and not make mistakes, otherwise they would be caught by the Cavaliers and the mistakes would further close the score.

And now as the leader of the team, Roy must stand up, he and James are equal in terms of status in the team, and only when he stands up and scores can the morale of the team be boosted. Roy actually scored a lot in the first three quarters, and he had already scored 28 points before the start of the fourth quarter, but he still focused most of his energy on organizing the offense, and has already handed out 11 assists, that is, in his opinion, it is more important to sort out the team's offense than to score himself, which is why Jackson is relieved to let him play as the starting point guard, as long as the team needs it, Roy can play more like a point guard than an orthodox point guard.

However, this style of play allowed Roy not to use much physical strength in the first three quarters, so now he can still continue to hold the ball to the basket. Roy's idea is simple, shooting blindly from the outside is definitely not a good option at this time, and causing damage to the interior is the most important thing, and it can also disrupt the Cavaliers' defense and create shooting opportunities for teammates.

Roy's breakaway doesn't go as wide as James, and he mainly relies on his own rhythm changes and teammates' coverage to break inside. Gooden and Ilgoskas had already committed 3 and 4 fouls respectively at this time, and they did not dare to act rashly in the face of Roy's highly targeted breakthrough, for fear that they would leave the court with six fouls at the most critical time.

But that didn't stop Roy from deliberately looking for fouls on them, and just halfway through the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers' two interior players each received a personal foul, sending Roy to the free throw line and making the Cavaliers foul the number of free throws in the quarter. Brown felt angry, but now was the time for the bayonet to be red, and fouls were inevitable.

After two seasons of training, Roy's finishing ability under the basket has improved a lot, and he was fearless against O'Neal last year, and now it is like a walk under the basket against a softer Ilgoskas.

This year is only Roy's second season in the league, but his mental quality is not bad compared to James, and he can withstand it in key moments. In less than three minutes, he helped the Bobcats stabilize the situation, scoring 7 points and 3 assists alone, which was in stark contrast to James's crazy scoring alone. Of course, this is not to say that Roy is better than James, but for a team like the Bobcats where every player has a hand, a leader like Roy who takes care of the whole picture is what they need most.

With Roy's efforts, the two sides formed a stalemate again, which made Jackson nervous, and he got up and walked around the sidelines like ants on a hot pan. Relatively speaking, Chang Wei seems to be very calm, but in fact, his mood is not calm, in his previous life, James alone decided the outcome of too many games, and this game may not be impossible.

However, Roy quickly put them at ease, taking advantage of the Cavaliers' chance to shrink their defense, and he hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc with 3:22 left. James' breakaway layup was interfered with by Gasol Jr., and Milicic grabbed the rebound and threw it to Roy, who had already run past half court, who did not take a more secure fast-break layup, but dribbled to the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer to chase the body, and stabbed the Cavaliers in the heart.

These two key three-pointers stunned the Cavaliers and James, and then he actually missed two consecutive shots, which was undoubtedly quite fatal for the Cavaliers. The Bobcats did not relent, and under the leadership of Roy, they played another wave of small climaxes, completely sealing the victory of this game. With the Bobcats leading by nine points in the final 12.1 seconds, the Cavaliers had no intention of fighting, and West dribbled the ball through the halfcourt and simply stopped playing, and James's disappointment was palpable.

When the final whistle blew, the Bobcats celebrated the game unbridled under the noses of the Cavaliers fans, and while that didn't mean they could get their revenge on last season, it was still a good start.
