James relied on his strong individual ability to score consecutive points in the third quarter, and his animalistic physicality was undoubtedly on display.

The Clippers relied more on their whole, led by Curry, with Randolph's low-post offense as the core.

Randolph had a mediocre first half, and the chaos between the two sides kept him from finding many good scoring opportunities.

In the third quarter, Dunleavy regrouped at halftime to give Randolph more opportunities to attack in the low post.

Randolph also firmly grasped it, and in the face of Hickson, he adopted a shallow position and a hard way to eat the basket.

The advantage of carrying the basket is that it can face outside teammates, facilitate the transmission of the ball, and play internal and external cohesion with teammates.

Therefore, those core big centers in history have dominated the skills of carrying the basket, and the outside players revolve around him.

The advantage of the basket is that it is more lethal offensively and the basket is less susceptible to interference from the co-defenders.

In the 1998 Finals, if Carl Malone received the ball and turned to the basket, he would not have been stolen by Michael Jordan from behind.

Gasol Jr. has some mid-range shooting ability, and he pulls O'Neal away and hands the basket to Randolph to impact.

James made one after another strong inside shots, and Randolph used his solid footwork and excellent body to score inside the Cavaliers.

Randolph's physical fitness is not as explosive as James's, but his technique is delicate enough, and his feet and feel are first-class.

Since the early contract extension, Randolph has calmed down and polished himself seriously to maintain a stable and good form.

Regardless of whether the team wins or loses, he can hand over a decent data sheet, let alone the performance on the field.

Min Congda watched the wine king Randolph in "Wine and Wealth" change his ways, and the game got better and better.

It's a regret in his heart, but what's the use of regret? The deal can't be traded, and it's impossible to cut it.

The family settled in Los Angeles, and his girlfriend and his girlfriend may get married in the past two years, playing steadily to earn a salary.

couldn't find a reasonable reason to send him away, Min Congda really dug a hole for himself.

Relying on Randolph's play, the Clippers always pressed the Cavaliers in the score until 76:77.

The Clippers also have a one-point lead over the Cavaliers, and the offense is in the hands of the Clippers.

The ball was given to Randolph in the low post again, but it was still a shallow position, and he immediately turned to the basket after receiving the ball.

Hickson was a bit scared, and Randolph had already scored 18 points on him.

scored 10 points in the third quarter alone, this fat man really can't prevent it.

Randolph slumped his shoulders and watched the defense, and the Cavaliers didn't seem to have any intention of wrapping up.

Take the middle lane and break through!

Hickson was pushed all the way in, not daring to take the initiative to exert force, and taking the initiative to exert force is a foul.

But he couldn't stop it, and at this time, the big Z on the other side came over to help defend and flank Randolph in the front.

As a result, Randolph insisted on holding the bag of two people, threw a high hand with his left hand, hit the board high, and rebounded into the basket!

Take two points!

At 76:79, the Clippers maintained a three-point lead.

LeBron James once again made his way into the Clippers' interior.

If only he had this kind of brute bull rush, Randolph and Gasol Jr. could stop him by banging on the door.

However, Gasol Jr. assisted in the defense, and the 45-degree big Z on the right side was vacant, and James passed the ball deftly without looking at people.

The ball was given to Big Z, and Big Z slowly made a three-pointer shot, hit, and equalized the score.

That's what's scary about James, you see he's physically tough, he's a little rough in his technique, he's a little ugly when he plays.

But his passing vision is historic. (His vision of running the basketball business is also historic.)

The rough body, Kong Wu's appearance, but he has outstanding vision and exquisite passing.

LeBron James is a basketball machine with a lot of contradictions.

At least half of the Clippers fans were in favor of James and the Cavaliers.

After hitting the shot and tying it, the Clippers called a timeout, and the crowd cheered.

Min Congda listened to the fans wearing the No. 23 jersey and cheering, and scolded disdainfully in his heart: "Hmph, you traitors! ”

I don't know where he got his face to scold people as traitors.

At this time, Siakam Jr. admired James' way of playing.

can shoot suddenly, and the passing is so good, basically one person supports the team's offense.

Excited, he kept saying to his father, "I'm going to be a player like LeBron James in the future!" ”

Chamo smiled and touched his son's head and said, "It's not easy to become a James, but it's still too late for you to catch up now." ”

Siakam Jr. nodded, he had already thought that he would start playing basketball seriously when he returned to Cameroon.

After the Cavaliers and Clippers tied at the end of the third quarter, the psychological advantage gradually tilted in favor of the Cavaliers.

During James' break, the Cavaliers came off the bench to play a 7-0 spurt on the Clippers' second line.

Dunleavy's timeout was in vain, but Ricky Davis stepped up again, broke through the basket and made a layup, causing an inside foul to go to the free throw line.

At times like these, Ricky Davis can give a glimpse of the ball-handling ability of players who once averaged 20+ points per game.

He hit both free throws to stop the bleeding a little, and the third quarter ended quickly, with the Cavaliers leading the Clippers by five points at 86:81 entering the fourth quarter.

In the final battle of the fourth quarter, the two sides ran and fought for a whole game, and finally slowed down with a little fatigue.

Both sides began to hit the iron one after another, and I didn't hit if I didn't hit, and I didn't push the fast attack when I grabbed the rebound.

And all of this is to overdo the final sprint of the main debut, and not making mistakes is the most important thing.

At this point, the Cavaliers made a mistake and West made a missed pass at the top of the arc to plug the inside line and was tackled by PJ Tucker.

After the steal, the Clippers launched a fast-break counterattack, and Gordon rushed to the frontcourt, receiving the ball and making an easy layup.

86:83, the difference became 3 points, and James shook his head off the court, passing the ball too carelessly.

With nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, the two sides were tied at 88-84, and the Cavaliers led by four points, and the main players of both sides reappeared.

By this time, LeBron James had already scored 27 points, and he could do everything on the offensive end, shooting 10-of-16 from the field.

On the Clippers' side, Randolph scored 18 points and Curry scored 14 points, except for the three-pointer at the buzzer, his performance in this game was far less impressive than James' fans.

But Curry is about to use his individual performance in the fourth quarter to reverse that impression gap.

Min Congda watched Curry catch the ball and dribble over half the court in the backcourt, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Oops! It seems that Curry has been collecting and playing tonight, and he is not throwing three points blindly! But the Cavaliers this guard line to be honest ... Mike Brown, call a timeout and rearrange the defense! ”

Min Congda now specifically wants to hand Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown a small note telling him to "step up the guard line defense!" ”
