Defending him was Parker, who hesitated for a moment, didn't choose to shoot, and passed the ball back to LeBron, looking a little unconfident.
LeBron received the ball, leaned on Leonard's body and forced into the mid-range position, and then passed the ball to Loew, who had a chance in the box.
Loew received the ball and immediately turned and hooked his hand to attack, but the Ibaka defense did not keep up and could only watch the former shoot.
A hook shot was made, and Love stabilized the situation for the Cavaliers, and the score came to 16-19.
The Spurs attacked again, and He Dong faced Shambaugh this time, but he did not succeed in a strong breakthrough, so he simply turned around and retreated to shoot, but unfortunately ended with iron.
Tyronn Lue, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene and was slightly satisfied, and it seemed that he could let Shambaugh stay on the court for a while longer to limit He Dong's play.
The Cavaliers attacked again, and this time Owen made a quick stop in the middle of the range with cover, but unfortunately hit the iron.
Thompson made a layup under the basket, but it still popped off the frame.
Ade got the rebound and handed it to Parker, who immediately launched a counterattack with the ball.
Leonard received the ball in the front court and singled LeBron with his back, and this time he pushed to mid-range and turned and made a step-back jumper.
The score came to 18-19, and the difference was still 1 point.
The Cavaliers attacked again, this time LeBron hit the inside, made a quick stop to shake Leonard, and then forced a foul, but unfortunately it didn't play 2+1.
Standing at the free throw line, the audience still gave LeBron "MVP!" He then hit 2 free throws,
The Spurs' subsequent attack ended with Ade's mid-range shot, and LeBron held the ball and attacked again, and once again entered the box and caused a foul.
In the midst of the call, LeBron hit all 2 free throws again.
The score came to 18-23, and the margin widened to five points.
He Dong then took the initiative to hit Shambaugh with the ball on his back in the mid-range position, advanced to the appropriate distance, turned and threw a backward jumper.
The basketball hollowed into the net, and the score was chased to 20-23.
The Cavaliers went on the offensive again, and after Loew hit the iron, Popovich called a timeout for substitutions to let the bench play the rest of the first quarter.
At the same time, the Cavaliers will also replace the main force.
In this way, the lineups on both sides became: Spurs, Mills, Ginobili, Simmons, sister-in-law, Dedmon. The Cavaliers are Loew without rest, and the lineup is Deron Williams, Korver, Richard Jefferson, Channing Fry, Loew.
The Spurs bench is a multi-firepower output, while the Cavaliers' second lineup is dominated by Korver and Love.
The Spurs attacked, and this time Mills and Ginobili were involved in a pick-and-roll on the outside, who cut to the basket to receive a pass, dipped a shot to attract the defense, and then passed the ball to his sister-in-law who had a brief gap in the low post.
The sister-in-law immediately took action, and the basketball hollowed into the net. The score was 22-23.
LeBron was anxious when he saw the score being chased off the court, and shouted to the court: "Play tenaciously, don't be afraid of confrontation!" ā
Obviously, this is mainly for Loew.
The Cavaliers' second lineup is not very good defensively, which is also related to their weak physical confrontation.
Now the Cavaliers' lineup needs Loew to be fierce under the basket, so as to revitalize the team's offense.
When Loew heard LeBron's words, he also gritted his teeth and asked for the ball in the mid-range back, with his back to Dedmon, intending to dribble and shoot inside.
From the previous encounters, Loew already knew that he could not match Dedmon in terms of strength, so he simply used his strengths to dribble and break through to the inside.
Loew dribbled with his back to borrow strength, and then suddenly turned his back, using his skillful skills, to pass Dedmon, his feet moved so fast that Dedmon couldn't keep up at all, and could only watch Loew kill to the basket.
The sister-in-law came to make up for the defense, and Loew immediately took the opportunity to pass the ball to Frye, who had an open opportunity.
Frye received the ball from mid-range, feinted to attract Simmons to make desperate saves and then passed the ball to Jefferson at the three-point line.
Jefferson didn't pass again this time, his open opportunity was already good, and then he raised his three-point shot to shoot!
In the cheers of the audience, Jefferson hit a three-pointer to push the score to 22-26, and the margin continued to reach 4 points.
LeBron sat on the bench and showed joy, as long as the benches play well and are not suppressed by the Spurs substitutes, then this game will not be too difficult.
If all the teams in the league want to beat the Spurs, they must first make their own benches not be suppressed too much by the Spurs substitutes, and it will naturally be happier if they can suppress it.
However, the Spurs' bench was not a weak hand, and it was not so easy to beat, and soon Ginobili returned a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line to stabilize the situation for the Spurs.
The score came to 25-26, and the three-point shot was too powerful, narrowing the gap to 1 point again.
The Cavaliers then took a shot from Frye in the bottom corner, but unfortunately it was already ironed.
However, Mills on the Spurs' side also hit the iron with three points, and the benches on both sides then hit the iron one after another, and the tiger was vigorous. Finish the last minute of the first quarter.
At the break, Barkley and Reggie Miller started discussing the game with each other again.
Barkley pouted, "I don't think the Spurs benches played well enough today, if they could have played aggressively, maybe the game would have been different." ā
Hearing this, Reggie Miller immediately made fun of him and pretended to be serious: "As long as the Cavaliers score more than the Spurs, the Cavaliers will win the game 100%." ā
The back of the commentary booth burst into laughter.
"Wait and see, the Spurs benches will be powerful, let the Cavaliers see how good they are!" Barkley finally spoke.
"We'll see." Reggie Miller shrugged his shoulders.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs replaced Simmons with Tielin, and Irving returned to the court to replace Deron Williams on the Cavaliers' side.
In the second quarter, the Spurs served, Mills controlled the ball to the front court to organize the offense, and after many runs, the basketball finally came to Tielin's hands.
Tielin stood in the bottom corner, and before Jefferson could defend it, he immediately made a three-point shot.
Throughout the season, Tierin's hand has been up and down, which is why Popovich has shortened his playing time after the other substitutes have grown.
But right now, Tielin doesn't want people to forget about his three-point ability.
Basketball hollowed into the net, and Tielin lived up to Popovich's expectations this time and did what a 3-and-D player should do.
The score came to 28-26, and with Tielin's three-point shot, the Spurs successfully overtook the Cavaliers by 2 points.
Irving quickly responded, shaking his center of gravity with a crossover from outside the three-point line against Mills' defense, and then accelerating to pass the latter.
In the face of Tielin's supplementary defense, he used a move to "worship Buddha" to shake it up, and Pingchuan easily hit the board and made a layup in the penalty area.
Top singles ability, super offensive firepower, this is Irving.
