Chapter 202 Win Tianwang Mountain and get match point!
Obviously, in just two days, the Warriors failed to come up with a good response.
In G5 Tianwangshan, all the Warriors can do is attack desperately in the first quarter, hoping to directly defeat the Cavaliers who lack Wang Feng in the first quarter.
But they couldn't do it. After all, the person opposite them was LeBron James, the number one player in the league! And it was James who had just debuted, and his physical fitness and energy were at their peak.
No matter who scores on the Warriors, James can hit back immediately.
And the Cavaliers are not the only one with James. After the last game, Irving was in significantly better shape this game.
In the first quarter, James made 4 of 5 shots and scored 9 points, while Irving scored 8 points.
The score between the two teams reached 31:33, and the Warriors only led by two points.
And as the second quarter began, Wang Feng appeared again.
This time, Cole did not hesitate and directly arranged a double-team package for Wang Feng, hoping to use high-pressure defense to force Wang Feng to make mistakes.
However, reality dealt him another cruel blow.
Double-teaming was not very effective against Wang Feng.
In fact, with Wang Feng's current technical style, he is not afraid of double teams.
After another season of training and a lot of daily training and competitions, Wang Feng's speed and agility have improved a little bit. They are currently 92 and 93 respectively.
The improvement of ability value often becomes more difficult as the level goes up, just like a three-pointer. Wang Feng relied on freely allocating points to strengthen it to 90 at the beginning, and soon increased it to 92 on his own. However, every point of improvement after that becomes more difficult.
It increases geometrically and the speed of improvement becomes slower and slower.
The same is probably true for agility and speed, but at least there is still room for improvement.
Although the speed and agility of 92 and 93 respectively are slightly slower than those of the top guards, they are not much different. More importantly, Wang Feng, who has 80 power, can have such speed. Looking at today's NBA league
I'm afraid only James can compare with him.
Why is Curry afraid of double teams? It's not that his skills are not up to par and he will be in a hurry when encountering double teams, but because Curry's strength is weak and it will be difficult to maintain his body when facing the inevitable physical confrontation when the opponent double teams.
Balance is naturally difficult to deal with.
Wang Feng, whose strength is as high as 80 and has even faster speed than Curry, will naturally not be as strenuous as Curry when facing double teams.
He can even arbitrarily squeeze out double-teamed players and break through with the ball. His dribbling ability of up to 90% also ensures that he will not be intercepted easily.
If the Warriors let Green and Ying Guodala, two players who can compete with Wang Feng, work together to double-team, they may be able to restrict Wang Feng, but such a top-level defensive configuration is prepared for James, and all of it is used to target Wang Feng.
What will James do?
Unable to be restrained, Wang Feng scored a large number of shots during the second quarter when the substitutes came on the bench, helping the Cavaliers establish a score advantage.
Throughout the second quarter, Wang Feng took 8 shots and hit 4 goals, scoring 11 points with a 50% shooting rate.
And when the game entered the third quarter, which the Warriors are best at, the Warriors, who wanted to work hard to recover the point difference and win the game, were hit head-on again!
The Cavaliers showed stronger offensive firepower than the Warriors in the third quarter. The scores of the two sides in the single quarter were 38:42 respectively. The Cavaliers actually won by 4 points in this quarter!
James scored 10 points. Irving kept rushing to the frame and causing fouls. He made 6 of 6 free throws in a single quarter and scored 13 points. Wang Feng also scored 2 three-pointers and scored 6 points!
When the game entered the fourth quarter, the score difference had widened to double digits.
The Warriors still tried to struggle in the fourth quarter, but James, who kept stepping up and scoring, made their attempts to catch up with the score in vain.
"How...how could this happen?"
The moment the full-time whistle sounded.
The fans at the Warriors' home court were stunned by this scene. Everyone covered their heads in disbelief and looked at the score on the big screen in despair.
With four All-Stars, two regular season MVPs in their prime, and Yingodala's five-star Warriors, how could they lose such a crucial battle on their home court in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain?
The final score was 115:107.
In the G5 battle of Tianwangshan in the finals, the Cavaliers won by 8 points, leading with a total score of 3:2, and took the lead in getting the match point. As long as the Cavaliers win one more game, they can end the finals and win the championship!
In the G5 Tianwangshan game, the highest score in the game was won by James who scored 39 points. In addition to 39 points, James also scored 11 rebounds and 13 assists. The triple-double data was extremely gorgeous.
Irving scored 26 points and Love 20 points. Wang Feng received a lot of attention from the Warriors in this game and encountered a lot of double-teams. Although the double-team tactics were not very effective for him, they also successfully consumed a lot of his energy, leading to the fourth quarter.
There were basically no shots in the game and he scored 17 points in the game.
For the Warriors, Durant once again scored a high score of 35 points, Curry scored 26 points, and Thompson scored 21 points. The three outside players performed very well, but they still lost the game.
…
"Win another game! Win the championship!"
"Are we finally going to win our first championship in Cleveland?"
"Come on Cavaliers! Win the game in one go!"
The Cavaliers won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the whole of Cleveland was in a state of revelry. Although the game was not over yet, it was the closest they had come to the championship in the past few years!
In the past two years, the Cavaliers have never had a small lead against the Warriors in the Finals, and they have been defeated miserably for two consecutive years.
Now I can finally feel proud for once!
Similarly, in China far across the ocean, countless Wang Feng fans also became excited.
"Holy crap! Do the Cavaliers really have a chance?"
"Wang Feng is too cool, isn't he? He won two consecutive victories as soon as he came on as a substitute. Who can match this strategic position?"
"Let's not talk about this. I want to ask, if the Cavaliers win the championship this year, the Warriors who won two consecutive championships should not be regarded as a dynasty, right? Then what does Wang Feng win three consecutive championships? Is it a dynasty of one person?"
"Brother Feng is really ruthless. He has won three championships after playing in the NBA for three years. He also won the championship with whichever team he went to. Isn't it true that other teams will be waiting for Wang Feng's breakthrough during the summer offseason?
head?"
…
The response from all walks of life was fierce, but in fact the game was not over.
The Cavaliers returned to Cleveland and immediately began to prepare for G6 two days later. This home court is very important to them. If they win, the Cavaliers will win with a total score of 4:2 and win the championship.
If they lose, although the total score will come to 3:3 and the two sides will play the final tiebreaker, it is difficult to say whether they can win the final victory when the Golden State Warriors return to the main arena.
Therefore, the entire Cavaliers team wants to settle the game at home and settle it once and for all.
