Chapter 506 Victory
With a 15-point lead, the two sides started the competition in the last quarter.
Paul George took a break off the court, Donovan is not Tyronn Lue, he will not let his players stay on the court all the time.However, without Paul George's defense, James is even more relaxed!This also caused the Cavaliers to set off a wave of counterattacks.All Thunder people were startled into a cold sweat.
The Thunder scored a goal as soon as they came up.It was Adams who scored the goal. After he blocked George Hill for Westbrook at the top of the arc, he was stuck on his TT and was pulled away by Westbrook.So, his chance came.Adams went straight to the basket without saying a word.At this time, Westbrook was not able to get rid of the TT who had switched defenses.Going too deep, there is no room to maneuver!He subconsciously turned back to look for Adams, and after finding the latter's figure, he immediately threw the ball in the direction of the basket.At this point, Adams was ready.After Westbrook made the ball, he flew straight up, pressed George Hill and TT, and pressed the ball into the basket.
A very typical pick-and-roll cooperation, Westbrook and Adams are quite familiar with this.It was so explosive when it came up, which made the fans very happy to watch.However, the next few minutes really made everyone very depressed.
Looking back, Love pulled to the top of the arc along the free throw line, and after making a pick-and-roll for James in front of the three-point line, he pulled directly outside the three-point line.Both Brewer and Robertson chased after James, and Love was emptied in an instant.With James' passing ability and vision, he naturally seized such an opportunity.He looked back at the moon and handed the ball to Love.After the latter catches the ball, the opportunity is very good.The Thunder player closest to him was also two meters away.He can even dribble the ball in place before pulling up and throwing the ball.
The basketball hit Xuan'er, crossed a high arc, and fell into the net.
Love's three-pointers are still very accurate.The Thunder did a good job of defending him before, but this time it was obviously that Robertson and Brewer didn't communicate well.When facing the pick-and-roll, both of them went after James.
Looking back, An Luo got a chance at the three-point line.His three-point shooting percentage in this game is quite high.But this time it missed!Of course, the chance to make a shot this time is not good.Westbrook broke through to the basket by himself, but there was no good opportunity.The other Thunder players were not in a good position, so he took the basketball around the inside, and finally pulled out the three-point line to re-launch the attack.This time, Westbrook rushed in under the cover of Adams.But the Cavaliers' players suddenly received the basket tightly, which made Westbrook very uncomfortable when he rushed in.In the end, he didn't choose to play hard, but split the ball beyond the three-point line and gave it to An Luo.After the latter received the ball, time was running out.While JR is well positioned defensively, he still makes decisive shots.In order to avoid being destroyed by the opponent, he could only improve his shooting arc.
With this adjustment, the ball is missed!Facts have proved that for a player who is good at three-pointers, the feeling of shooting is the most important.In many cases, the more rational you are, the less you can invest.
The rebound was grabbed by Love, and they got the chance to close the score.This time it wasn't James with the ball.George Hill circled more than half of the three-point line, and suddenly made a change of direction to squeeze Westbrook away and hit the basket.Defensively, Adams has been around the basket.Seeing George Hill coming, he stepped out of the reasonable collision zone ahead of time, and waited for Hill in a posture.Unexpectedly, the latter directly threw the ball high into the sky.
If it weren't for James who fell from the sky afterwards, the ball would be thrown very outrageously.But even for James, it was very difficult to complete this lob.Fortunately, it's James, but it's really difficult to do it for someone else.
After the ball, Donovan quickly called a timeout.Although they are still leading by double digits, the player's state is a little loose.This is not a good phenomenon!Not to mention in the finals, even in an ordinary regular season, if a player relaxes during the game, it is very likely that he will lose the game.
Donovan's face was ashen, and he criticized these players all the time.
"Guys, it's the finals! Our opponent is a superstar who has reached the finals for eight consecutive years. But we are a little slack now! Yes, we are ahead by more than ten points, but so what? It won't take much We caught up in one round! We need to stay focused all the time and not be careless. I think everyone doesn’t want to lose the game because of their own slack, right?”
After a few short words, the players reappeared.After a few minutes of rest, Paul George also returned to the game.Thunder finally exerted its full strength!
When another Paul George came up, the situation on the field immediately changed.The tacit understanding developed over a season has reduced the pressure on An Luo and Westbrook a lot.Especially on the defensive end, the defensive line of Robertson, Paul George and An Luo made James once again fall into a situation surrounded by wolves.Whether it's James, even Love and JR gradually fell silent.
After the intensity of the defensive end increased, even the offensive end became much smoother.After An Luo hit a three-pointer again, the Thunder opened the point difference to 15 points again.And, they maintained this point difference until the last moment of the game.
James worked hard!He played until 2 minutes before the end of the game. It is already impossible to regain the 2-point difference in 16 minutes.Therefore, Tyronn Lue replaced James and surrendered early.
The moment James stepped off the court, deafening applause erupted from the Chesapeake Energy Arena.This is a compliment to James, and a recognition of a 33-year-old veteran.Then, everyone started to cheer unscrupulously.This season, the Thunder not only reached the finals, but also won the first game.They really felt the breath of the championship!
After James left the field, Donovan also replaced all the main players such as An Luo, Westbrook, Paul George and so on.Similarly, what greeted them was endless cheers and applause.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Cavaliers 105:92 and temporarily led 1:0 in the finals.
