After the timeout, the Warriors' offensive rhythm stabilized slightly, but before the end of the first quarter, the Warriors failed to regain the score.
The two sides battled to 38:33 in the first quarter, with the Cavaliers leading by 5 points at home.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Feng was still on the court and directly led the offense.
The Warriors arranged for Yin Guodala to defend Wang Feng throughout the game, but obviously Yin Guodala couldn't guard Wang Feng at all, especially when faced with Wang Feng's emergency stop jumper during the breakthrough, there was no way.
Yingodala is not inferior to Wang Feng in terms of strength and jumping, but in terms of speed, the 33-year-old Yingodala can no longer maintain the mobility at his peak. In addition, Wang Feng has a fast shooter badge and his shooting speed is extremely fast, so he often does
Wang Feng did not interfere immediately and took action.
In the first three minutes of the second quarter, the Cavaliers' offense was almost dominated by Wang Feng.
Mid-range jump shot, breakthrough attack to the basket, and long-range three-pointer.
Wang Feng showed off almost all the offensive methods in his arsenal in turn, scoring 7 points in a row in just three minutes.
The point difference between the two teams is about to widen to more than double digits.
At the right time, Tyronn Lue, who knows how to give up when things are good, chose to replace Wang Feng, and James, Irving and Love continued to lead the next attack.
"Unexpectedly, the Cavaliers' move with Wang Feng as a substitute turned out to be surprisingly effective!"
"He came on the field with less than 4 minutes left in the first quarter, played 3 minutes in the second quarter, and scored 15 points in just 7 minutes. This kind of offensive efficiency is terrifying. If in the previous games,
If the Cavaliers use Wang Feng in this way, will they be able to win more games?"
The game continued, and the main players of the two teams met again, and the situation was stalemate.
Seeing that the point difference was getting wider and wider, the Warriors began to get anxious, and the five small lineups of death came on the stage, hoping to quickly recover the score.
On the other side, the Cavaliers, led by James, tried their best to stabilize the score.
Soon, the second quarter ended.
The score between the two sides in this quarter was 35:37. The Cavaliers narrowly won by 2 points, and the point difference also changed from 5 points in the first quarter to a 7-point lead.
After the intermission, the third quarter began.
Everyone knows that the most critical moment has come!
In the first two games, the Cavaliers lost in the third quarter.
In the third quarter of G2, the Cavaliers scored 24 points in a single quarter and the Warriors scored 35 points, with a margin of 11 points.
In the third quarter of G3, the Cavaliers scored 27 points in the third period, and the Warriors directly scored 40 points, winning by 13 points.
To put it bluntly, the Cavaliers' losses in the first two games can basically be attributed to the collapse of the third quarter.
If the Cavaliers cannot resist the Warriors' counterattack in the third quarter of this game, they may continue to lose the game. If the total score is tied at 1:3, the Cavaliers will really be finished!
"King, I leave it to you!"
Before his debut, Tyronn Lu said to Wang Feng very solemnly.
Now the only person they can rely on is Wang Feng, who plays only 7 minutes and has plenty of physical fitness.
…
"Wang Feng appears again..."
At the beginning of the third quarter, Wang Feng came on directly.
The Cavaliers served from the baseline, and after halftime, the basketball was passed to him.
Wang Feng holds the ball and stands at a 45-degree angle outside the left three-point line. This is the hot zone range of the hot zone hunter.
He looked at the defensive player in front of him-Draymond Green.
Obviously, Cole was extremely wary of Wang Feng, who only played 7 minutes in the first half but scored 15 points. He directly asked Ying Guodala to defend James, leaving Green free to deal with Wang Feng.
Although Green couldn't completely limit Wang Feng's performance in previous matches, it was better than doing nothing.
Looking calmly at Green, who had a fierce expression on his face, Wang Feng was not afraid at all.
"Just in time, let me beat you up!"
Facing Green's defense, Wang Feng directly pulled up and shot a three-pointer!
"Bang!"
Green's defense was very timely. Wang Feng's shot was interfered with and the basketball missed the frame. The Warriors protected the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack.
The Warriors at this time were in a standard small five-death lineup, with Curry, Thompson, Ying Guodala, Durant and Green present, and their fast break speed was extremely astonishing.
However, Durant, who had grabbed the rebound, was just about to pass a long pass to the fast break. When he saw Wang Feng retreating quickly, he couldn't help but hesitate and did not dare to pass the ball directly.
Wang Feng has a very keen sense of stealing, which the Warriors have experienced more than once!
They are proud of their fast-break offense and defense transitions, where Wang Feng always determines the passing route in advance and then completes the steal before launching a quick counterattack.
Kerr's pregame reminder echoed in Durant's ears.
"I would rather not play fast break than let Wang Feng steal and make mistakes!"
On the sidelines of the Warriors, Cole frowned.
Durant did a great job and was not hot-headed.
But there is no way to continue like this. The most powerful thing about the Death Five small lineup is the rapid transition of offense and defense. If it cannot form a fast-paced offense, then it is better to use Zaza Pachulia to enhance the ability to protect the basket.
.
The Warriors' offense fell into position, and the basketball was handed to Thompson who ran out of space without the ball, and the latter hit a mid-range jumper.
In the Cavaliers' offense, Wang Feng dribbled directly across half court and returned to the 45-degree position just outside the left three-point line, still facing Green's defense.
Then Wang Feng made another pull-up jumper!
"Come again?"
Green's heart skipped a beat, but his movements were not slow and he immediately followed up with the defense.
"Whoa!"
Green's movements were not slower than in the previous round, causing almost the same interference effect, but this time the basketball arced through the air and then hit the net into the basket.
With the blessing of a sharpshooter, a hot zone hunter, a long-range turret, multiple high-level shooting badges, and a three-point shooting ability value that has reached 95 after the three-point contest, Wang Feng's shooting percentage has reached an almost ridiculous level!
When the Warriors attacked, Curry also tried to take a shot from outside the three-point line, but the basketball missed the basket.
Wang Feng is here again!
When he stood at a 45-degree angle outside the left three-point line for the third time, Green became a little angry.
"Isn't it over?"
Seeing Wang Feng bending his knees and raising his hands, Green immediately pounced on him without thinking, wanting to give the hateful guy in front of him a big slap.
However, Wang Feng suddenly collected the ball and broke through, passing by Green.
It was too late for Green to pursue him.
Wang Feng successfully hit a pull-up jump shot about eighteen feet away from the basket.
Can't help it!
Wang Feng's score could not be prevented by the Warriors relying solely on single defense.
"...Do you want a double team?"
Cole couldn't help but have this idea in his mind on the sidelines, and even he was shocked.
When did Wang Feng become a player who needs double-teaming on the court to effectively limit scoring?
You must know that between the Cavaliers and Warriors teams, only three players are qualified to be double-teamed.
James, Curry and Durant, is it possible that Wang Feng's threat level has risen to this level in his subconscious at this time?
