Chapter 238 The Road to the Throne ([-])
"LeBron James completely dominated the game!"
Barkley said this sentence reluctantly. Although he didn't like James very much, when Kenny Smith asked about James' performance in this game, Barkley's rationality finally defeated his emotion, and he was always picky. He is also impeccable about James' performance so far in this game.
Facing Gao Tian's defense, James used an unreasonable three-pointer to widen the point difference to ten points. This is the first time since the start of the finals that the Cavaliers lead the Suns by ten points, and this lead is not as it used to be. It was wiped out by the sun's strong counterattack in an instant. Although sometimes the situation was critical and the sun counterattacked to only one point, their superhero LeBron James always stood up at the critical time. Their lead started from the second quarter. It has been maintained until now!
This is the most passive time for the Suns. The current situation has far exceeded their expectations. Looking at D'Antoni's frown, everyone knows how critical the Suns' current situation is. Obviously, D'Antoni did not face such a situation. What a good way, this is a scene that they could not have imagined in their pre-match deduction.
It wasn't just the Suns who dropped their jaws, but even more jaws fell in front of the TV. No one wanted to believe that the Cavaliers, which were the lowest in the league in terms of number of three-point shots and field goal percentage, actually used the most commonly used three-pointer by the Suns. The ball firmly suppressed the sun, which is like a fairy tale.
But seeing Drew Gooden, who rarely shot three-pointers before, everyone could only accept this reality silently after three-pointers and four-for-three in this game. , Looking at the uncontrollable excitement on Mike Brown's face, what they could say, they could only blurt out a curse.
"So far, the Cavaliers have made 28 three-pointers, 55 of which have been hit, and the hit rate has exceeded [-]%!"
Stotts wiped the sweat off his face and told D'Antoni with a trace of helplessness in his eyes, the Cavaliers' three-point shooting percentage is really terrifying, after all, this is the finals!
Although they came to the Cavaliers' home court and they were ready for the Cavaliers' outside touch to recover, they still didn't expect the Cavaliers to shoot the highest three-point shooting percentage in the history of the finals!
Even the Suns, who have the highest three-point shooting percentage in the league, are unimaginable. This is really unreasonable. How can any team achieve this level.
Looking at the bewildered coach and teammates, Gao Tian shook his head helplessly. He was also very helpless to see the Cavaliers hitting such a shooting percentage. Originally, the Cavaliers' shooting percentage was only around 43%. The league's best three-point shooting rate is a notch higher than the Suns, but adding 10% of the three-point shooting rate is indeed a bit appalling.
Can't give the Cavaliers a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Once a shot is taken, there will be more than half the probability of scoring a goal. Sweat has already wet his clothes several times, but looking at his tangled appearance, everyone knows that he has no good way to deal with it.
"Well done lads!"
Mike Brown affectionately hugged the Cavaliers players who were resting after the game. He didn't care that the players' sweat would wet his clothes, and now he was so happy that he couldn't think of anything else.
To be honest, this is the first time he has encountered such an easy game. Since coaching the Cavaliers, this is the most relaxed head coach he has done. He hardly needs to do anything. He just needs to sit quietly on the bench and talk to the Cavaliers. It’s enough for the substitute players to watch the game continue. He doesn’t need to think about how to reverse the comeback, how to limit the performance of the opponent players, and he doesn’t need to stand on the sidelines and yell at his throat to instruct the players how to run. There is also defense, because these things were done by LeBron James alone.
This is a contest between ice and fire. It is obvious that the blazing sun is about to be extinguished by the severe cold of Cleveland. Although there is still a quarter of the game, can they, who have been lagging behind, achieve a comeback at the end?
The fourth quarter started soon. James led the Cavaliers players to start their jump shooting team. This thing sounds fantastic, but in fact it has nothing to do with his own state and confidence. Only Players who shoot confidently can seize the opportunity in their hands to throw the ball in, and the current Cavaliers players are undoubtedly in such a state of confidence. At this time, they dare to shoot as long as they stand outside the three-point line and receive the ball!
The friction sound of the ball falling into the Nets was like a sharp arrow piercing the hearts of D'Antoni and all the Suns players. The psychological advantages established by the victories in the first two games disappeared instantly, and the opponent used them Beating in the most familiar way really made them feel painful. The Suns players who had been immersed in this feeling lost their confidence in the ball in their hands. The so-called momentum was fully reflected at this moment!
The better the Cavaliers played, the more confident they became, and their aura gathered. The Suns players saw that their opponents were getting more and more accurate, but they shot again and again without confidence. In this away game, they had forgotten that their aura never came. Where did it come from.
Fortunately, the Cavaliers paid too much attention to the outside and the inside gave the Suns a chance to breathe. They relied on Nash and Gao Tian's layup after the breakthrough or the points to the inside players to barely maintain the point difference. Suddenly the point difference was pulled to almost [-] points, and D'Antoni really couldn't sit still.
There are nearly 6 minutes left, and he really can't wait any longer. If he waits any longer, I'm afraid they might just surrender at the end. There is no need to fight at all. Seeing D'Antoni's eager eyes, Gao Tian and Nash looked at each other Look, nodding slightly.
Drew Gooden swayed Nash by a three-pointer. Seeing that the sun's line was almost empty, he was overjoyed and dribbled the ball towards the empty sun's inner line without hesitation. He took a quick glance from the corner of his eye, According to the feeling and the position of the Suns players, they can't take into account the layup.
It took less than two seconds for Drew Gooden to go from the three-point line to the inside line. Leaning on the left side of Nash who was about to hit the ball, he took off with his right foot very relaxed, holding the ball with his right hand and gently Jumping up, feeling the familiar force of the fingers, watching the ball go up in a familiar arc, and when it was about to wipe the board, suddenly a big hand directly slapped the backboard, and a heavy muffled sound overwhelmed the noise of the Quicken Loans Arena The sound was suppressed directly.
"Beautiful pegboard hat!"
Buckley slapped the table with his big hand and shouted excitedly.
Everyone who saw this scene gasped. Many people who hadn't seen how Gao Tian blocked Drew Gooden couldn't help but fell silent watching the replay on the big screen. Accelerate directly. Gao Tian just took off when Drew Gooden threw the basketball in his hand, but Gao Tian still pressed the ball to the backboard. Drew Gooden's choice was not wrong, it would be the same if he changed it s Choice.
But the only thing he met was Gao Tian, the pervert. The acceleration at that moment was too fast. As soon as James opened his mouth, he saw Gao Tian had already jumped to the basket. I swallowed my words, and I have to say that this is an impeccable block from any angle!
That's a cap for boosting morale!
Mike Brown rubbed his face. He saw the meaning of Gao Tian's block that risked injury. It was indeed a good move and boosted the morale of the Suns players. To win this game?
