The Godfather of Basketball

The quality of defense on both sides is unprecedentedly high, and no one who tried to break his head before the game would have thought that the fifth game of the series would be such a game.

Scoring became the hardest part.

Both teams have outstanding star players, but excessive physical exertion caused their scoring efficiency to plummet.

The most incomprehensible thing is that James has reached this situation, and his desire to attack is not high.

During the intermission, some sideline fans caught a detail. Blatt and James seemed to be arguing over some issues on the sidelines. It was not until the persuasion of Tyronn Lue next to him that the situation escalated.

The two teams were still fighting on the court. The Nets' defense played to the extreme under the loose penalty scale.

Blatter glanced at James from the sidelines, then shook his head with helplessness in his eyes.

At the end of the half, the Nets led the Cavaliers by 6 points 48 to 42, and both teams scored new lows in the series.

This situation did not improve in the second half.

With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score was 83 to 77, and the Nets maintained a 6-point lead.

James was double-teamed with the ball in the frontcourt, and he gave the ball to Irving.

However, after the ball was released, he didn't stand in the same place as before, but started running without the ball, using Love's pick-and-roll to cut to the basket, and waved to Irving when he inserted.

Irving flicked the ball, and James caught the ball and leaned on Yi Jianlian for a tough layup.

The two had a confrontation in the air, but James was completely worthwhile. After the confrontation, he just squeezed Yi Jianlian away and scored.

Crucial goal!

The point difference was chased to 4 points.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Although it came a little late, James is still James.

After Yi Jianlian landed, he couldn't help coughing. James' strength is really abnormal. You must know that he has been blessed by the system.

"Hold on! Hold on!" Tang Tian was cheering for his players on the sidelines.

Although there are still more than 2 minutes left, but in such a slow pace, the advantage of 4 points is not small.

With Jokic's organization in the frontcourt, the off-ball players of the two teams fought hand-to-hand again.

Butler's air cut got a chance, and Jokic seized the fleeting opportunity to flick the ball.

"Snapped!"

But just before the ball was passed, James shot out halfway and intercepted the ball!

Fortunately, Deron reacted quickly. Seeing James speeding up, he went over and grabbed him. An early foul interrupted the Cavaliers' fast break.

Irving took the ball to the front court, and James fell to the right wing. At this time, Butler was defending him, and the key ball was still the key defender.

After James motioned his teammates to pull away, he then reached out for the ball.

At the last moment, he finally started to increase his personal offense.

Except for Thompson, everyone on the Cavaliers can also shoot three-pointers. After the sense of space on the court is drawn out, the Nets dare not double-team at will.

Butler lowered his focus to support James. His defensive ability is S-level, but this round of the series was a bit humiliating, because he was facing the S+ James!

James chiseled in twice, seeing that the Nets' weak side had the intention of double-teaming, and after forcing Jr. Jefferson back with a look, he turned directly towards the free throw line, and then chose to lean back and shoot.

Since Tang Tian enriched James' arsenal, he has insisted on high-intensity training in the past few years, and has raised his shooting level to the top of the league.

"Shua!"

James made a backward shot against Butler's large and difficult back.

The cheers of the fans exploded in an instant.

James scored 4 points in a row at the critical moment, and the point difference was narrowed to 2 points!

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called for a timeout.

He really created the most buggy opponent for himself.

"Deron, you play the next ball."

When the players left the field, Tang Tian pointed directly at Delong and said.

Back from the timeout, the Nets replaced Jefferson Jr. with Gordon.

Deron took the ball to the front court, pressed on the outside for about 10 seconds, and then sank his center of gravity.

At this time, the Nets players completely opened up to the two wings.

This is an obvious tactical deployment. Tang Tian arranged for Delong's singles tactics.

After Deron saw the space came out, he changed direction directly to the left and then changed direction after catching the ball, a standard crossover.

His crossover is better than the sense of rhythm. After shaking out a little bit, he pressed Owen and killed him.

After James saw it, he took it in directly. He selectively let Butler go.

Deron saw James coming to help defend, made an emergency stop ahead of time, and made an emergency stop one step inside the free throw line to take off.

Irving's inertia didn't stop the car and he was pushed directly to the basket, which could not interfere with Deron, but James flew over with his heaven-defying physical fitness.

Deron turned into an emergency stop and fell back, avoiding James' block shot in the air.

The ball barely passed James' fingertips.

The hearts of the fans at the scene tightened.

"Shua!"

A crisp sound caused an uproar, and Deron's key goal was also scored against James' supplementary defense!

There was a burst of excited shouts from the Nets' bench, and McConaughey and his towels flew up.

Deron's goal is so cool!

Tang Tian also nodded. At the critical moment, he was hitting the giant planet. Delong slowly recovered to his peak state, and he did not disappoint.

Deron's goal is crucial, with more than 2 minutes left in the game, the Nets hold a 4-point lead.

The two teams missed two offenses and defenses each, and the score was still 85 to 81 one minute before the end of the game.

During the Cavaliers' offensive round, all the fans at the scene stood up and looked at the players on the court eagerly, and many of them stretched out their hands and patted their chests.

The Cavaliers must score this goal. If they don't score, the game will be over.

James was stared down by Butler in the frontcourt and refused to let him catch the ball.

Owen directly chose to be strong, and the rhythm of holding the ball suddenly changed. Deron's speed was still fast, and he successfully rushed to the basket after squeezing through.

The Nets shrunk at this time, and he chose an early throw.

"boom!"

It's a pity that his touch tonight became cold under the high-pressure defense, and he still failed to make a key goal.

At the critical moment, Thompson exerted his strength and grabbed the offensive rebound in Jokic's arms and threw it to James on the outside.

James caught the ball and was caught by Butler.

Time passed by every minute, and Butler's closeness prevented James from having a good chance to make a phone call.

James swung his body to force a little space for himself, and after taking a dribble, he shot directly outside the three-point line.

Butler was completely in a defensive position at this time, jumping up to interfere.

A successful defense!

"boom!"

The ball hit the backboard under interference.

But the ball went in after the rebound!

The emotions of the audience exploded directly. At the last moment, James scored 7 points in a row, and the point difference was only 1 point!

With 30 seconds left before the end of the game, Tang Tian called the last timeout.

James was also extra excited when he left the court, and he took off his braces.

Raise your legs high.

Spread your hands flat and press down on the sides of your legs.

left leg.

right leg.

Then he slapped his chest hard twice.

Roar again.

the. silencer!

This gesture of celebrating the knights under Tang Tian's rule was done to Tang Tian this time.

James, still that James!
