Chapter 130: 16 Minutes in a Single Quarter!
The Cavaliers called a timeout.
Wang Feng only scored a total of 10 points in the first half, but scored 9 points in less than three minutes before the game began in the third quarter.
The score advantage that the Cavaliers had managed to build up was caught up in the blink of an eye.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers rearranged their defensive setup. James is back in charge of guarding Wang Feng.
But Wang Feng's hand feeling has warmed up at this time, and James, who needs to take care of both offense and defense at the same time, is already a little nervous physically, especially in the face of blocking and dismantling covers, he is no longer in the previous state of being able to quickly bypass the blocking and dismantling players for defense.
In the third quarter of the game, 4 minutes and 36 seconds, Wang Feng received a pass from the middle distance and hit a jumper with his back and back.
At 6:07, the Warriors made a steal to form a fast break again.
Curry drew defenders and then passed to the open Wang Feng, who hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line in the corner, which he is most familiar with.
7 minutes and 23 seconds, it was Curry and Wang Feng's cooperation again.
Wang Feng, who took the initiative to cover for Curry, entered the interior to make a layup after blocking and dismantling, causing the Cavaliers Tristan. Thompson was fouled on defense and made both free throws.
The entire third quarter of the game completely became Wang Feng's performance stage, and even Curry became a foil.
Wang Feng made a total of 10 shots in the third quarter, hitting four three-pointers and one mid-range shot, scoring 16 points.
Relying on Wang Feng's strong output, the Warriors successfully caught up with the score in the third quarter and even completed the overtake, entering the fourth quarter with a 3-point lead.
By the fourth quarter, as the physical consumption of players on both teams and the increase in defensive intensity, it became extremely difficult for both Cavaliers and Warriors to score.
In the first three minutes, neither team scored any open goals, and both could only score with a hard-fought penalty after a foul.
Including Wang Feng, who was hot in the third quarter, failed to hit two attempted three-point shots after entering the fourth quarter.
Everyone knows that this is a war of attrition, and when everyone is on the verge of the limit, which side can hold on and win the eventual victory.
On the sidelines of the court, Cavaliers head coach Taryn . Lou anxiously walked back and forth.
The way the match played out was completely unexpected.
He had no idea that Clay was missing. In Thompson's case, the Warriors are still so strong! Can force the Cavaliers, who are all healthy and at the peak of their strength, to this extent!
If Clay. Thompson is not injured, I'm afraid the score is 3:0 now, right? And there is a high probability that the fourth game now will be lost, and the Cavaliers will be swept 4:0 directly.
Now, with both teams fighting to such an extent, it's no surprise that either side can win the game.
In the stands of the Cavaliers, many fans who know the ball can't help but hold their breath and watch the game on the field nervously.
The two teams did not give up, fighting for every goal, and the score also alternated in the fierce duels.
On the Warriors' side, Bogut was fouled for six fouls midway through the fourth quarter. Pachuglia has already committed four fouls at this time, and Green has already committed five fouls, and one more foul will be sent off.
But the Cavaliers didn't give in much.
James 4 fouls, Love 4 fouls, Tristan. Thompson 5 fouls.
The game has entered the final moment, and no one will give up easily!
……
"Whew...... Whew......"
Wang Feng gasped and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The intensity of this game is really exaggerated.
Even if it was Wang Feng's first time in the playoffs, he had never felt like today.
Especially when he is the Warriors' second scorer, the pressure is almost suffocating!
"It would be nice if we could find a wave of opportunities, score consecutive points to open up the difference, and break the current deadlock!"
Wang Feng's idea is good, but the difficulty is too great.
The Cavaliers won't give the Warriors any easy scoring chances, just as the Warriors won't let the Cavaliers score easily.
Wang Feng no longer has the hot feeling in the third quarter, and he only hit one shot in the fourth quarter when he made five shots.
However, not only him, but also Curry, James, Irving and other players are not very efficient under the sudden increased defensive pressure.
In the tense and fierce confrontation, the minutes passed by the second.
Soon, there were only two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
At this time, the score on the court was 93-92, and the Warriors still maintained a slight one-point lead, and the Cavaliers had the ball.
James attacked with the ball, and Iguodala stood in front of James to defend.
The fitness of both sides is on the verge of limiting, especially James, who has played more than 40 minutes so far in the game!
Iguodala is in a slightly better situation, but this game is he responsible for marking James, and unlike the previous games, he will take turns with Wang Feng, Green and even Thompson, this game he is the first to mark James throughout the game, and the physical consumption has increased exponentially, and it is also the end of the strong crossbow.
In the face of Iguodala, James did not choose to force a breakthrough, in fact, since the second half of the third quarter, James has rarely broken through, and his physical strength can no longer support the fierce physical confrontation that breaks through to the basket.
Slowly dribbling to face Iguodala, James suddenly raised his hand and pulled out his hand from outside the three-point line.
Seeing James' actions before shooting, Iguodala had already judged in advance what the opponent wanted to do, and stepped forward to interfere with it one step ahead.
However, the basketball flies in the air, makes a straight arc, and then enters the hoop.
Three points are valid!
93:95! The Cavaliers are two points ahead!
"Boom ——!"
In an instant, the Cavaliers cheered thunderously at home!
It's a three-point shot that can make or break the game!
With only 1 minute and 44 seconds left in the game, as long as the Cavaliers can hold on to the score, they will win the game! Equalize the aggregate score at 2:2!
In this way, as long as they take advantage of the victory, the Cavaliers have a good chance of defeating the Warriors and winning the championship! Cleveland's first sports championship in 52 years!
"Defend well! Hold on for the next ball! We're going to win! ”
Chicken Soup for the Soul Pie Coach Tyron. Lou cheered loudly on the sidelines for the players.
On the other side, Cole looked grim, but did not call a timeout.
At this moment, there are only two pauses left in his hands, and these two pauses must be used at the most critical time.
Although the score is overtaken at the moment, the score alternation has occurred countless times in the fourth quarter, and each time the team will score immediately and chase the score back, and this time is no exception!
Curry stood at the top arc with the ball, directly called Green to block and cover, and then rushed into the interior and forced a layup to cause Lefou's defensive foul again! This is the fifth foul for Love, and if there is another foul, he will also be sent off.
Curry walked to the free-throw line and made two of two free throws.
95:95!
