In this state of anxious hand-to-hand combat, the pace of the game between the two sides was quite slow, and the second quarter of the game played for nearly 30 minutes before it ended, and the long game time did not make the score show an explosive increase, but compared with the first quarter, it showed a cliff-like decline.

13：11。

That's the number of points scored by both teams in the second quarter, with the Knicks scoring 13 points and the Cavaliers scoring 11...... The anxiety of both sides on the offensive end can be seen from this.

In fact, 9 of the Knicks' 13 points were scored by the Knicks, LeBron James also scored 6 points on the Cavaliers' side, plus O'Neal's four points, and the rest of the players only scored one point!

The more brutal the defensive environment, the fullest display of the superstar's strength. And that's the line that separates a superstar from an ordinary player.

That was the end of the first half, with the Cavaliers still leading by nine points on the road, and judging by their fitness conditions, there seemed to be no reason for them to lose if this trend continued. Although they are also tired and hard, the Knicks' condition seems to be much more difficult than theirs, and most importantly, Xiao Sao has already spent a lot of energy in the first quarter of the game, if the third quarter is still like this, he will most likely not survive the fourth quarter, and the other Knicks players will also have a hard time making it to the fourth quarter...... After all, the Knicks can play that many players, and the Cavaliers can also play wheel battles.

When the players returned to their locker rooms, the Knicks were basically all lying on the ground, too lazy to get up... The physical strength consumed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the second quarter just now is too much, and it is completely used as an animal! Milicic didn't even want to lift his hand, he was so tired!!

Seeing this situation, Bob hurriedly beckoned several physical trainers to come forward to massage the team members, and he personally gave Xiao Sa physiotherapy...... It's his old job. He's good at it.

Xiao was not as tired as the other players, and although he was on the pitch with his hands on his knees and breathing heavily, he was much more relaxed as soon as he returned to the dressing room...... He had just been in charge of almost all the offense on the court, but he was a little slackened on the defensive end.

And he told Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton and Jeffries that the three of them should be lazy as well, but look very tired...... It's a little scene. Of course, these three people can easily hold on, after all, they are professionals.

So, these three people are not very tired either.

It's impossible for Xiao to take out all his chips, especially when the game is only in the second quarter.

Looking at the tired and panting teammates in the locker room, Xiao smiled casually. If at the end of the first quarter, the odds of winning in Xiao Shao's heart were only three or four percent at most, then now it is at least seven out of five, or even eighty percent.

Halfway through the game, the team was only nine points behind. As long as the score is maintained in the third quarter and the score is not expanded, then... By the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers were bound to lose...... Their tactics of exhausting physical strength came too late, and if it was played in the first game, or at the beginning of the second game, it would have been so long, and even if the Knicks could finally win this series, it would definitely not be easy. It may even drag the series to Game 7.

However, now it is too late. They took out this weapon in the fourth game, when deciding whether they would be swept or not, and only then did they adopt attrition tactics with all their hearts... Too late!! This is not a remedy...... Late.

When Xiao Po thought that the situation tonight was already clear, and the odds of winning reached seven or eight percent. The Cavaliers' locker room was also full of jubilation, and they felt that the chances of winning tonight were at least 90%!!

"There's nothing great about the Knicks! It's always said that they are invincible in attack, so why did they become lame ducks today? Hum! I said it a long time ago. As long as we come up with the toughest defense, they will definitely be at a loss and throw up their hands in surrender!! Mo Williams yelled loudly in the locker room, he still had a lot of energy to talk because he didn't play much at all...... His defensive level is terrible. McBrown doesn't fully trust him, and Coach Brown is a very safe guy after all, and he doesn't want a hole in his defensive system.

Although Mo Williams has no awareness of being a defensive hole, he talks about defense in the locker room. But no one in the Cavaliers laughed at him for it.

On the contrary, they have echoed it.

"Yes, the Knicks aren't that scary at all, and chic isn't as omnipotent as they think. We're going to win tonight as a matter of course, and then we're going to win three games in a row to beat them 4-3. I'm not talking nonsense, because we're getting stronger and stronger, but the Knicks are getting weaker. Anthony Parker also spoke confidently.

At this time, Giammario Moon suddenly said leisurely: "It would be nice if we stuck to this style of play from the first game, maybe we are the ones who are leading 3-0 now!" ”

As soon as Jamario Moon said this, there was an instant silence in the locker room, although everyone knew that Moon was telling the truth, and they agreed with it. But...... The problem is that the reason why the previous tactics were different was entirely because of LeBron James...... Who is LeBron James? The whole state of Ohio treats him as a treasure in the palm of his hand, and Cleveland treats him as a chosen-one destined to belong, and openly disagrees with him in the locker room, isn't this self-defeating?

As soon as Gimario Moon said this, he realized that something was wrong, as the locker room began to become unusually awkward, and everyone fell into a strange silence.

He cautiously glanced up at LeBron James, and cold sweat began to break out on his entire back...... Office politics kills people, and the end of a blatant gaffe is very miserable, originally a marginal person in the NBA, and now ............ The more Jamario Moon thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the more he pondered, the more panicked he became.

And at this moment, LeBron James stood up, took the initiative to walk to McBrown's side, and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, I'm responsible for the previous three defeats, I was wrong." ”

LeBron James rarely admits his mistakes, or never bows his head, and now, he takes the initiative to bow and apologize to himself in front of all the players, which makes McBron rarely surprised, and even a little at a loss, he quickly stood up, hurriedly walked over and patted LeBron James's shoulder: "It's okay, LeBron, we all know that you are also for the good of the team." Because of you, we have the current Cavaliers, so we can make it to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Please don't blame yourself, this is the experience of all of us growing together. ”

"Pack up your feelings, we still have to rely on you to lead everyone to victory."

Mike Brown put it beautifully.

This beautiful rhetoric made the scene lively, and the awkward atmosphere was diluted a lot, and for a while... The Cavaliers' locker room has an inexplicable sense of 'father's kindness and filial piety'.
