Chapter 117: Victory in the first game in team history
readx; It was LeBron again, hitting another buzzer-beating three-pointer in the final minute of the third quarter. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is already his fourth three-point in the third quarter, and it seems that LeBron has improved a lot in shooting. Kenny Smith, the commentator at the scene, looked at the game on the field and said in a lost voice.
James, who scored 18 points in a single quarter, four of which were three-pointers, led the Cavaliers to not only resist the opponent's counterattack in the third quarter, but also further widen the difference, and the current score on the court came to 87-72. The Cavaliers led the Lakers by fifteen points at home, and such a point difference was extremely difficult for the Cavaliers. Although the fifteen-point difference could not keep the team from winning this game steadily, the pressure came to the Lakers' side.
In the third quarter, the main point of attack of both teams was the star of the team, Kobe Bryant did not choose to pass, and scored 12 points in a single quarter, but every shot was very difficult. If it weren't for the Lakers' interior line getting the offensive board for the second offense many times, the point difference would have been pulled outside 20 points long ago. Where could it be the current fifteen points?
Zeng Yu, who had a sluggish performance in the first half on the Lakers' side, was strictly defended by Huang Jun in the third quarter, although the shooting rate was still not so high, but it was not as sluggish as the first half, and he also scored five points in a single quarter. Huang Jun, who was opposite him, only scored three points in the third quarter, but he got six assists, and the entire third quarter of the Cavaliers' offense was completely organized by Huang Jun. Although he didn't get a point, he helped the team elsewhere.
The game in the fourth quarter began quickly, and the lineup on the Cavaliers' side: Huang Jun, Iverson, Szczebiak, Landry and Big Z. The lineup on the Lakers' side is: Fisher, Shannon Brown, Kobe, Odom and Gasol. The Lakers' lineup is obviously based on scoring, after all, the current point difference has come to fifteen, and as long as the score difference is not careful, it will come to twenty points, so Kobe Bryant will not rest.
And the reason why the Cavaliers put Huang Jun on the court is completely for him to score and organize the team's offense. The Lakers with Kobe Bryant will be very scary, so there must be a stable firepower point on the court. Otherwise, if the Lakers beat a wave*, it will be a tragedy. As for Iverson staying on the court, it was entirely because of the third quarter of the game, Iverson did not have much playing time and was completely rested on the bench.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' ball possession, the old fish Fisher, dribbled to the half court and passed directly to the hands of Gasol on the inside. Now the Knight's interior line is very weak, which will bully the Knight's interior line just right. Once the inside line is fully open, turn the offensive point to the outside line, and combine the inside and outside, which is the tactic arranged by Phil Jackson during the timeout. He knew that it would be very difficult for them to turn around in this game, but if they didn't fight hard and give up, it was obviously not the Lakers' style.
Gasol's continuous back-to-back singles suddenly sank his shoulders, followed by a nimble step, and he easily completed a pick-and-roll board. The big z on the inside line can't defend Gasol's attack at all. Gasol is the kind of interior player who can pass the ball, shoot three-pointers, grab rebounds, and play single-handedly. It's very difficult to defend, but Gasol's play is very good, and when you encounter a hard-liner opponent, you may usually be blown up. But Big Z is obviously not a hardliner, so naturally it is impossible to explode Gasol.
Huang Jun held the ball in the half, looked at the old fish Fisher in front of him, and did not have any words, directly accelerated, and changed direction rapidly. didn't give the old fish any chance to react at all, and went directly to the basket to face Gasol's defense. His face remained unchanged, and he jumped up directly, looking like he wanted to block the other party. Although Gasol is a little soft in the autumn wind, he wants him to get out of the way of the defense and let the opponent dunk successfully, which is obviously not his style, and he is not afraid of the opponent's dunk, Gasol also jumps high.
"Want to stop me? Hehe, Howard O'Neal and their tough insiders are still possible, and you want to guard me off as a white insider? Huang Jun didn't have any merciful intentions, and slammed directly into Gasol's body, boom, Gasol flew out upside down in an instant, and at the same time Huang Jun also completed a violent dunk. After landing, Huang Jun ran towards Gasol for the first time and stretched out a hand of friendship in front of many fans.
Although Gasol was very annoyed by the ball, he was embarrassed to refuse forcefully in the face of the friendliness of the other party. Directly shook the palm of the other party. smiled and said, "Thank you, you are a very small person, Yao Ming was like this at the beginning, and you were like this." This should be your traditional Chinese culture, right? Gasol, who stood up, looked at Huang Jun.
Huang Jun didn't speak, just smiled slightly, then turned around and ran towards the half court, while shouting "back to defense" The other four players started at the same time at this time and ran towards the half court. Gasol smiled at Huang Jun's movements, then teed the ball to Fisher, and ran towards the half court himself.
The offense of the two sides has been very close in the future, and no matter what kind of goal the Lakers' side scores, the Cavaliers can get it back in the next round. The Lakers scored goals, and the Cavaliers also scored, and if the Lakers didn't score, then the Cavaliers wouldn't score in the next round. Such a law made the fans on the scene very helpless, is this negotiable? Why is there such a tacit understanding? If people enter you, you will enter, and if others don't enter, you won't enter. The difference is always fifteen points.
In this way, the fourth quarter of the game went on until the last five minutes, and the difference was still five points, and there was no change. This makes the Lakers feel like they want to give up, it's so helpless, they've never been so aggrieved. You're either going to pull a little bit away, or you're going to be pulled a little closer. Why is there always a 15-point difference? This kind of situation makes them feel as if they have been dumped by the other party as a monkey, which makes them really have a crazy urge.
In the last five minutes, the Cavaliers replaced all the lineups on the court just now, and Huang Jun was no exception. Huang Jun has been on the pitch for a long time in this game, and it's time to take a break. If there is any unexpected situation later, then it will be the same when you wait to play again. However, although Huang Jun is not on the court, the lineup on the Cavaliers is still not weak. The Lakers have replaced the main players, Kobe and Gasol have not rested, as long as there is no real despair in this game, then Kobe Bryant will not give up, this is Kobe's character.
It's just that even if Kobe Bryant doesn't go to rest, there is no way to further narrow the point difference. Instead, it was widened again by the Cavaliers, and when there were three minutes left in the game, the difference had already reached 20. This margin was enough for the Cavaliers to win the game, and in a dead ball, the Cavaliers' head coach Mike Brown replaced all the main players off the court. At this time, there can be no injuries, and safety is the priority.
The Lakers also completely replaced the main players off the court, and there was no possibility of this game, and Kobe Bryant also knew about this situation, so there was no refusal to go off the court to rest. As the main players of both sides were constantly replaced, the pattern of the game was also set, and the final score was fixed at 110-92, and the Cavaliers finally won the Lakers by 18 points and got off to a good start in the Finals this season.
This game was not only a good start to the Finals this season, but also the first Finals victory in the history of the Cavaliers. In the entire history of the Cavaliers, the team has also reached the Finals once, including this year, a total of two Finals. The first time he entered the Finals, James led the Cavaliers to the Finals, but in this stage of the Finals, the young Cavaliers were not the opponents of the old Spurs at all, and they were finally eliminated by the opponent 4-0.
And after winning this game, it was also the first Finals victory in the Cavaliers' team history, and it was also James' first Finals victory. This made James almost cry after the game, but in the end he held back. Because he knows that a win in one game is not their goal, their goal is the championship, it is four wins. After the game, Huang Jun and James attended the post-game press conference.
"LeBron, this is the first Finals win of your career, and the first Finals win in team history. I wonder how you're feeling at this moment? The first person to ask the question was a local reporter in Cleveland.
In response to this reporter's question, James thought for a moment and finally said, "I'm very happy at this time, but this is just the first step we have taken." This game is only the first game of our finals, and it is only the first win. Our goal is to get four wins and win the championship. In this game, James got 33 three-pointers, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in the all-around data, and deservedly became the MVP of the game.
However, Huang Jun, who attended the press conference with him, also performed very well in this game, scoring 25 points and 13 assists, which is not easy for a rookie in the finals. Zeng Yu, who was opposite him, only scored 11 points and 7 assists.
"Huang, for the first finals of your career, when you play, will your body feel stiff and nervous? At this time, the reporter turned to ask about Huang Jun next to him, and if he asked about James next, then the reporter next to him would obviously be dissatisfied.
"I was nervous, but my body never stiffened, and the moment I came on the pitch to catch the ball, my body was completely excited and burned. The performance in this game has proven that I am not afraid of any stage, and the finals are no exception. Huang Jun said with a slight smile.
