The scene was silent, no one at the Cavaliers Arena was going to send their blessings to the Spurs, and fans booked their tickets to the Finals early because they knew the Cavaliers would definitely make it to the Finals. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The arena is full of Cavaliers fans, who will suddenly boo the Spurs players when they make a shot, which seems to be very tacit and gives the Cavaliers the best home-court advantage.
The Cavaliers attacked, and Irving organized, and after drawing the attention of the defense by covering into the box, passed the ball to LeBron, who had a chance.
After receiving the ball, LeBron used the rhythm of his footsteps to break through Leonard, and with a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball to Korver, who had an open opportunity.
The latter received the ball and showed his strength as a three-point sharpshooter, and the three-point hollow net brought the score to 4-8.
The Cavaliers then denied Ho Dong a solo chance on defense, forcing the Spurs to spend 24 seconds of offensive time, and finally ended with Parker's hasty shot.
LeBron got the defensive rebound and launched a counterattack, ran and sprinted all over the court, hit the Spurs basket, started with the ball with both hands, and took off to cause a defensive foul on Ibaka.
Standing at the free throw line, LeBron enjoyed "MVP!" The next 2 free throws hit steadily.
The score came to 4-10 and the Spurs had to fight back.
Parker controlled the ball to the front court, this time He Dong took the initiative to ask for the ball outside the three-point line, faced the bag of Irving and Korver on the outside, used the step back and the change of direction under the crotch to get rid of the two, leaning on Irving's body to enter the restricted area and throw a shot, although the basketball hit iron, but He Dong successfully caused Irving's foul.
Standing on the free throw line, He Dong faced the boos of the audience this time, smiled slightly, adjusted his breathing, and threw 2 free throws into it.
The score was 6-10, and the Spurs were still four points behind.
"Oh, look, he can smile even in the face of the boos in the sky." Barkley blew casually again.
The Cavaliers attacked, this time led by LeBron, who controlled the ball to the front court to command, used cover, suddenly accelerated past Leonard, entered the penalty area and made a sharp stop, and then turned back to shoot the board.
"Bang!" It's a pity that this shot popped out of the frame.
But under the basket, suddenly a black tower rose into the air and picked up rebounds from the hands of Ibaka and Ade, and Thompson's frontcourt rebounding ability should not be underestimated.
Then Thompson passed the ball to Irving, who received the ball in front of He Dong and crossed over, leaned on his body and burst forward, hit a mid-range pull-up jump shot, and shot at He Dong's arms.
The basketball hit the front and bounced out of the frame, and Irving missed the shot this time.
Ibaka got the rebound and handed it to Parker to launch a defensive counterattack.
He Dong sprinted with all his strength at this time, raising his right hand to ask Parker for the ball.
After receiving the long pass, He Dong shot a three-point shot to Korver, who had not yet stood firm on his feet, outside the three-point line!
The court was silent, but the basketball hollowed into the net, and with this three-pointer, He Dong brought the score to 9-10, and the difference was only 1 point.
LeBron's face was grim, and the pressure began to rise in his heart, his goal was to win the championship, how could he lose this game?
He's going to keep the lead for the Cavaliers!
The Cavaliers attacked, this time it was still LeBron who organized the offense, he chose to one-on-one Leonard, pushed his back to the mid-range position, and then suddenly collected the ball, stepped back and made a jumper.
The basketball hollowed into the net, and LeBron shot it softly this time and hit it easily.
The score came to 9-12, and the difference remained at 3 points.
Then the Spurs' offense was handed to Leonard, and in the face of LeBron, the former also chose to push forward with his back to the mid-range, turned and threw a jumper.
But Leonard's shot ended with an iron shot, and Loew got the defensive rebound.
Owen launched a counterattack with the ball, controlled the ball to the front court, changed direction under the crotch and in front of the body, leaned on Ho Dong's body to break through, and then passed the ball to Korver, who was standing in the bottom corner of the back.
The latter received the ball and, facing Parker, who was already defending, did not choose to force a shot, but instead hit the ball to Loew, who was stuck in the bottom corner.
Loew received the ball, turned his back to Ibaka, dribbled a step, found that he did not move, after losing weight, Loew suffered a little in weight, his strength felt slightly worse than before, and his recent form was not very good.
But Loew is also skilled after all, if he can't resist Ibaka, then he will use his strength to shoot, push it, and then turn around and hook his hand to attack!
The movement was stretched and the feel was soft, and Loew hit this shot, and the difference was extended to 5 points.
He Dong began to have a sense of crisis in his heart, he didn't want to miss the O'Brien Cup, he wanted to win!
When the Spurs attacked, He Dong took the initiative to receive the ball from Parker, faced Korver's defense, instantly accelerated a step to pass it, burst into the inside, and faced Loew and Thompson's forward to press the defense, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the ball was thrown into the sky.
Ibaka had been waiting for a long time, took to the air, received the ball in the air, and smashed it with both hands.
The score was 11-14, and the margin was still hovering around 3 points.
The Knight's subsequent attack was in Loew's hands again, but this time he hooked his hands to the iron.
He Dong picked up the defensive rebound, and immediately ran wildly with his legs like a hot wheel, and slashed towards the Cavaliers' basket.
It's so fast, leaving all the other 9 people on the field behind!
With no one in front of him, He Dong rose into the air and performed a one-handed windmill dunk.
"Boom!" He Dongbang was able to smash his hand, and there was a gasp at the scene, such a performance was too brutal!
Seeing this scene, LeBron was expressionless, and he controlled the ball alone to the front court to continue to organize the attack.
It was Korver who had the opportunity this time, and he didn't disappoint his teammates, taking advantage of the cover run to open the space and hitting a three-pointer.
The score came to 13-17, and the difference was widened to four points.
But soon, He Dong was at 45 degrees on the right side of the three-point line, facing Korver, and after dribbling under his crotch, he suddenly became stronger, and he pulled out his hand with three points.
The basketball hollow into the net, He Dong also returned a three-point this time.
The score came to 16-17, and the difference was chased to only one point.
Tyronn Lue immediately called a timeout and planned to replace Korver, who was so poor defensively, that he chose to bring in Iman Shambaugh to defend Ho Dong this time.
Shambaugh's defense is okay, three-pointers are okay, and he didn't play much time in the previous games, and this time Tyronn Lue intends to let him play a little longer on the court.
Barkley on the sidelines looked excited, and smiled when he saw He Dong's performance, "Guys, tonight's Mr. Jordan made the Cavaliers have to replace Korver, but I am not optimistic about Tyronn Lue's decision, because Shambaugh also cannot form an effective restriction on He Dong, in this case, then we will not let Korver continue to throw on the court and suppress the Spurs from the firepower." ”
Tyronn Lue is naturally not going to change his strategy because of Barkley's opinion, and he is now standing on the court, watching the situation on the court, hoping that Shambaugh can make an effect.
