373 Title Killer!
For the fans who have witnessed this game, the madness of China Jin has once again penetrated into their hearts.
He scored 44 points in the game, including 5 of 5 three-pointers, almost like a sharp knife into the heart of the Cavaliers.
"Killer!"
Finally, after the end of this crazy solo show, Jin Feng had a widely accepted title!
"It's crazy, you know? The Chinese killer reminds me of Michael, the omnipotent flying man who sees the score as if he were chopping melons and vegetables," said Trollwell, a special guest reporter of Sports Illustrated.
Judging from a single individual scoring show alone, perhaps for Jin Feng, the impression he left on people is not so profound.
But this is the Grand Final!
Don't forget, who is his opponent? That's the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James.
And don't forget that he played for the San Antonio Spurs.
44 points!
Data that Spurs fans crave but can't get enough of.
…………
When the Spurs won the third game with the joint efforts of the big three represented by Jin Feng, the outside world's view of the prospects of this series has changed somewhat.
Finally, there are now more and more fans who believe that the final title of this series belongs to the San Antonio Spurs.
After all, everyone also saw that in the third battle, in the face of Jin Feng's outburst, the knights had no way to deal with it at all.
On the contrary, on the Spurs, Popovich is cunning and cunning, whether it is against LeBron James or Derrick Rose, he can deal with it to the greatest extent.
And don't forget, Spurs are not only Jin Feng, but also Leonard and other big-hearted players.
"Maybe God won't give Cleveland a miracle anymore, Greg Popovich's efforts to build the Spurs Big Three in the new century have finally taken shape, not only this season, maybe the next few seasons, the Spurs Big Three will be a nightmare for the entire league, maybe it's like the OK combination in the past, they can always think of ways to destroy any opponent" Jeff Van Gundy expressed his views on the Spurs Big Three on a show.
The big score is 2:1!
And Spurs look to be getting better.
So for the Spurs fans, it seems that the time has come to celebrate, sharing the joy on the Internet, in bars, on the streets, and of course, looking forward to the moment when the Spurs will officially win the championship soon.
However, there was no sense of joy on the part of the Spurs because they were real witnesses, which meant that each of them knew that the next game would still be very difficult.
At least, they understand that Cleveland is not going to sit still.
………
Two days later, Game 4 of the Grand Final Series will begin at the same location.
For the Cavaliers playing at home, it seems that they can't afford to lose this game, because if they lose again, the score will become 3:1, and at that time, it will mean that the Spurs have won the match point...
As for the Spurs, who are playing away from home, they certainly hope that the winning streak will continue, go to the next city in one go, and then return to the home stadium to win the championship perfectly.
Both sides have their own agendas, but what is certain is that the goal of victory is figured out.
Soon, the game began.
For the Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue made changes to the starting lineup, with Derrick Rose replacing Thomas Jr. as the starting point guard for the game.
It can also be seen from this that Tyronn Lue has made a desperate bet, after all, although Rose is in good shape, his physical condition dictates that he can't play as much time as a normal starter.
At the beginning of the game, Rose was full of firepower on the offensive end, first scoring the iconic folding layup, then completing a steal on Jin Feng, and chasing three points in the front court.
Rose's outburst was expected, after all, he has been in such good form during this time, but what Popovich didn't expect was that the Spurs players shot unexpectedly badly in the opening stage.
At the beginning of the game, the defensive intensity of the Cavaliers was not very high, which can only be said to be normal, but Jin Feng only made 3 of 10 shots in 5 minutes, with a 30% shooting rate, which is undoubtedly a loss in the finals.
Sure enough, the Cavaliers, who had a decent shooting percentage, seized the opportunity and extended the margin to 10 points before the official timeout in the first quarter.
After returning from the official timeout, Popovich took the lead in making adjustments, with a big wave of his hand, four of the five starters were directly replaced, and all four starters were replaced except for Aldridge.
"Oh, haha, Greg really dares to do it"
"In the finals, when you are still behind, you don't hesitate to remove the four starters, which is definitely a risky decision"
Popovich's substitution decision also caused everyone to exclaim.
So, let's take a look at how Popovich's substitutions worked.
35:31!
At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by four points.
Looking at it this way, the old man's decision seems to be right, but in fact, it is not, because what happened next in this game tells everyone that because the old man changed the substitute lineup in advance, it made them lose the game in the final moment of the battle with the Cavaliers due to physical reasons, and finally lost the game.
That's right, the final winner of this game is the Cavaliers.
Why does the physical exertion of the bench lineup have such a big impact on the outcome of the game, it is because not only in the first half of the first quarter of the game, but almost the entire game, the Spurs' starters were sleepwalking, and Popovich could only rely on the bench lineup for support, and even so, he fought with the Cavaliers until the last moment.
If it weren't for LeBron James's quasi-lore steal, the old man might have been able to "humiliate" Tyronn Lue very much.
Pity!
The pot for the loss in this game is undoubtedly Jin Feng, who started to carry it.
In fact, who is behind the blame is not the most important thing, more importantly, the Spurs missed a great opportunity to win the match point, allowing the Cavaliers to dress up the overall score 2:2!
From being favored again before the game to being defeated by the Cavaliers, the Spurs' experience has revealed at least two signals to the outside world.
First, in this season's finals, it seems that it is still unknown who will die in the end.
Second, there is still a very important thing missing in today's Spurs team, that is, the stability of the team.
What do you mean?
It means that Jin Feng is very stable, Leonard is very stable, Aldridge is also stable, the individuals of the whole team seem to be very stable, and the impression of this Spurs to the outside world is also quite stable, but once the stability of these individuals is combined, once it comes to the finals stage where points must be contested, it still lacks a certain degree of stability.
