The whistle sounded at the end of the game. On the field, the score was fixed at 113:118, with the home team in front.
"In the G6 finals of the finals, the Warriors fought with their last breath and successfully won a key victory, evening the score to 3:3. The next G7 tiebreaker will return to the Warriors
Playing at home...it's just...it's a pity that luck is not on the Warriors' side, or this is the price of winning the game."
On the field, even though they lost the game, there was not much pessimism on the faces of the Cavaliers players. The reason is very simple. A few minutes ago, Warriors player Stephen Curry was carried out of the field on a stretcher. Look like that.
Son, I’m afraid it will be difficult to play in the tiebreaker two days later.
Curry is injured.
Wang Feng's first reaction was that he was a little confused. In another time and space, Curry had never suffered any serious injuries in several finals games.
But if you think about it carefully, just because it didn't happen before, doesn't mean it won't happen now. This is just a parallel time and space, and not everything develops like Wang Feng's original time and space.
The reason why Curry was injured is probably because the game was too intense and fatigued, which led to the development of injuries.
Already trailing 2:3 before the start of the G6 game, Curry did everything he could to win the game. His playing time in this game was almost the same as that of James.
James is a famous iron man in the league. It is common for him to play more than 40 minutes in a game. Curry is different. In the first few years of his career, he was synonymous with a glass man. He was constantly injured and stopped. In the past few years, he finally finally
What's better is that in the past few seasons, the average playing time per game has rarely exceeded 35 minutes in both the regular season and the playoffs.
Today, he not only played for more than 40 minutes, but also took a lot of shots in the game. Without any shooting opportunities from the outside, he rushed inside to cause damage. By winning a lot of free throws, he scored 43 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, including
Included 5 offensive rebounds.
A thin guard with a height of 1.91 meters can grab 13 rebounds under the nose of a bunch of big players. It shows how hard Curry worked in this game?
The Warriors got their wish and won G6, dragging the suspense of the game to the seventh game. However, Curry was injured as a result, which was not worth the gain.
Everyone in the Cavaliers, both players and fans, breathed a sigh of relief. Curry's performance in this game was really too strong. If Curry can still play like this in G7, then the Cavaliers may be talking about the championship.
About to fly away again.
Now that Curry is injured, the Warriors' double MVP combination is missing one player. Although Durant is also very strong, he alone, even with Thompson and Green, is no match for the healthy Cavaliers.
At the press conference after the game, James, Tyronn Lue and others who were interviewed all expressed their regret for Curry's injury and wished the other party a speedy recovery.
But in their hearts, I am afraid they have already bloomed with joy.
The cycle of karma and retribution is unpleasant!
In 2015, the Cavaliers were full of injuries, and the Seven Knights led by James were defeated by the Warriors in the Finals. No matter who talks about that defeat in the Finals, any Clevelander will still feel resentful.
Although injuries are also part of the game, the 2015 Cavaliers were really unlucky. Two of the Big Three were injured and they couldn't even put together a complete lineup.
…
Wang Feng didn't feel much thankful, but rather a little disappointed.
Judging from the strength on paper, the Cavaliers and Warriors are basically equal, and the game between the two sides is a real battle.
Although there will be generous rewards for him after winning the championship, this kind of championship still makes him feel like he cannot win.
And he has a pretty good relationship with Curry. As the leader of a team, Curry has no airs, has an easy-going personality, and is willing to make sacrifices for the team. These are the reasons why Curry can achieve these achievements.
Rather than winning the game with Curry absent, Wang Feng hopes to confront the opponent head-on and win the game with dignity.
It's a pity that he can't control this kind of thing, otherwise he might let Green replace Curry when he gets injured. Anyway, Green is just a dispensable presence in the Warriors. Don't look at his outstanding contributions to the Warriors' defense.
But even without him, the Warriors still have someone who can take up his position. Even if the defensive efficiency may decline, the Warriors' strength in the league is not defense in the first place.
One day later, Curry's injury report was announced. He suffered a stress fracture in his left ankle and will be sidelined indefinitely, and may even miss most of next season.
Once this news was announced, Warriors fans were in despair.
It’s over now!
Without Curry, how could the Warriors be a match for the Cavaliers?
The world that Wang Feng currently lives in is different from another time and space. Curry has won the FMVP for two consecutive years and led a 74-win team to win the championship. His reputation is far greater than that of another time and space during the same period when he won only one championship and no MVP.
Even though many media directly stated that Cleveland can start celebrating the championship in advance.
In fact it is so.
On June 19, the G7 tiebreaker began at the Warriors' home court.
With Curry absent, the Warriors sent undrafted player Quinn Cook to start.
There is only one word difference between their names, but the difference is as big as heaven and earth.
Without Curry's three-point threat from the outside, the Cavaliers played very easily and could freely shrink the defense and double-team Durant.
Although Thompson is also an excellent top outside shooter, his level is still one level lower than Curry. Especially when Wang Feng is free to mark him personally, it is basically difficult to get good shooting opportunities.
32:29 of the first quarter.
28:23 of the second quarter.
31:25 of the third quarter.
After three quarters, the Warriors were already 14 points behind. In the final quarter, the Warriors failed to make any waves. The score in the fourth quarter was 19:13.
After four quarters, the two teams had a total score of 110:90. The Warriors lost 20 points at their home court and lost the finals with a total score of 3:4.
"drop--!"
The moment the full-time whistle blows.
The Warriors home fans all left the game in silence.
Although Curry retired from injury in the last game, which basically announced the end of the finals in advance, they still have some expectations in their hearts. What if a miracle happens? For example, Durant and Thompson scored at the same time.
High scores can turn the tide. For example, the Cavaliers also have injuries, such as key players like James, Wang Feng, and Irving.
However, the miracle did not happen, and they had no choice but to accept this fact.
The Warriors fell to the last step of creating a three-consecutive championship dynasty, just 21 points away!
