"Wang Feng hit an open three-pointer! This is his 50th point in this game! He is also the first Chinese player in the NBA to score 50 points!"
"Not only that, with Wang Feng's three-pointer, the Warriors successfully expanded their lead to 6 points! There are only 2 and a half minutes left before the end of the game. This is likely to be the three-pointer that seals the victory!"
On the field, the Cavaliers called a timeout.
Everyone’s face is not very good. This is a battle of revenge. They should have suppressed the Warriors throughout the whole process and won the final victory of the game, proving that the defeat in last season’s finals was not because of the Warriors’ strength, but just because of the Warriors’ strength.
It's just that they were lucky.
But now, not only is it possible to lose the game, but a role player from the opponent team is even allowed to score 50 points. This is completely different from the result they want!
"Don't think about those messy things yet!"
James had a gloomy face, but knew exactly what to do at this time. He said to his teammates: "The first thing we have to do is win the game! With a 6-point difference and 2 and a half minutes left, we still have a chance!"
Indeed, in 2 and a half minutes, even if one attack is calculated as 24 seconds, there are at least 7 attack times. The Cavaliers can get 4 attack opportunities and the Warriors 3.
As long as the Warriors can prevent the next attack and successfully score more than 3 goals, there will be a chance to drag the game into overtime or even a game-winner.
It's a bit difficult, but the Cavaliers have no choice at this time.
For the Warriors, head coach Kerr also understands this truth.
"The next attack and defense are crucial and must be defended!" Cole said, looking at Wang Feng, "Wang, can you still do it? If there is a problem with your physical fitness, let Andre (Yingodala) take your place.
"
Wang Feng shook his head slightly and said, "I can do it!"
There were only 2 and a half minutes left. Even if he gritted his teeth and persisted, he could still finish the game.
Cole nodded slightly. He also hoped that Wang Feng could stay on the court. Although Wang Feng's physical condition at this time may not be able to exert much more effort on the offensive end, but as long as Wang Feng is on the court and stands at the three-point line in the bottom corner,
That huge offensive power can help the team create space.
Moreover, Wang Feng is already better than Yingodala on the defensive end. At this critical moment, Cole hopes that Wang Feng can be on the court.
The timeout ends and the two teams return to the field.
The Warriors made some adjustments to their lineup. Yingodala was substituted and replaced by big blue-collar center Bogut.
The Warriors' tactical system does not particularly require a heavy-duty center, but it must have a blue-collar center that does the dirty work, because in certain critical moments of offense and defense, a big center who can guard the basket is important.
Sex is still higher.
This is why the Warriors later also had blue-collar centers such as Pachulia and McGee.
The purpose of Bogut's appearance is to make it less easy for the Cavaliers' James Irving to hit the basket.
As for the Cavaliers’ main tactics in the coming period, there is actually no need to think about it at all!
Sure enough, the Cavaliers served from the baseline, and Irving immediately passed the ball to James after receiving the ball. James still had to play this ball!
James stood at the top of the three-point line, facing Green, raising his hand to direct tactics.
The Cavaliers players began to move quickly on the court.
At this time, J.R. Smith in front of Wang Feng also started running quickly, and then at a certain moment came to Green's side and actually provided a pick-and-roll screen for James.
Wang Feng was slightly startled. After the pick-and-roll, it was him who guarded James.
Looking at the expressionless James, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Are you going to play singles with me to regain some ground? It's indeed a good choice."
It is a well-known fact that Wang Feng cannot guard against James.
As a top outside defensive player, Wang Feng's physical confrontation ability with only 55 strength is still a bit weak, especially when faced with James' strength standing at the top of the forward players, once the opponent forces a breakthrough, he will be unable to compete.
In the finals of last season, Wang Feng tried it. Not to mention frontal defense, even if he was assisting in double-teaming from the side, he would be directly hit by the opponent's fierce force just as he used the death coil badge to get close to James.
Staggering, unsteady on footing.
Only in the back, when James, who took turns facing many of the Warriors' toughest defenders, had physical problems due to his huge physical exertion, was Wang Feng able to barely defend James from a few goals.
At this time, although James also played more than 35 minutes, he was obviously not as physically exhausted as he was in the finals.
"this……"
Green, who was lured away by J.R. Smith, looked at this scene with some worry. He wanted to go back and switch defenses with Wang Feng, but J.R. Smith was not a fuel-saving lamp. Although the defensive end was so stretched, he was also quite threatening in terms of offense.
, rashly leaving the space open, I'm afraid James will pass the ball immediately without hesitation.
"You can only rely on yourself...Wang Feng!"
…
"I really should find a chance to practice my strength..."
When James broke through with the ball and easily drove Wang Feng into the Warriors' basket, Wang Feng tried his best to stop him, but was unable to do anything despite receiving multiple advanced defensive badges. He could only roll his eyes and thought like this in his heart.
With.
Although the power of 55 is barely enough in the league, it will not be at a disadvantage against most players.
But once you face up to inside players, including players like James who are outside players but are more powerful than inside players, you are somewhat helpless.
James, who easily broke through Wang Feng, met Bogut who was guarding the basket and went straight for a layup.
Bogut is also very desperate. In fact, the only reason he can stay on the court at this time is to do such dirty work.
With his hands raised high, Bogut and James' bodies collided fiercely in the air.
"squeak--!"
The whistle sounded immediately. James, who had strong core strength, lost his balance in the air, but still managed to throw the basketball to the basket.
The basketball hit the rim, stumbled, and narrowly missed the basket.
"Call 1"
Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not beaten 2+1.
As expected of James, who faced the 73-win Warriors in the finals and led his team to a comeback from a desperate situation. His personal strength is really strong, but it's a pity that he was a bit unlucky.
James, who failed to score 2+1, went to the free throw line. This is probably his least favorite place on the court.
James made the first free throw successfully, but missed the second free throw and was protected by Bogut for the rebound.
In the Warriors' offense, Wang Feng finally did not directly participate in the offense. Instead, he stood in the bottom corner of the three-point line as usual and watched Curry start the show.
Curry really showed off. He dribbled like a butterfly, created some gaps and then rushed into the paint. The Cavaliers' defense was also timely, but in the face of Curry, he threw his whole body into the air and forced a layup.
, and had no choice but to use a foul to stop it.
It was also a free throw. Curry, whose career free throw percentage is as high as 90%, made two free throws.
There was only more than 1 point left in the game, and instead of narrowing the score, it actually widened by one point.
In this case, the Cavaliers can only shoot for three-pointers.
The ball was handed to Irving, who had the highest outside shooting percentage. Facing Curry's defense, Irving used the pick-and-roll screen to make a three-point shot from the outside, but missed the shot.
Cavaliers insider Tristan Thompson grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to the outside. James, who received the ball, took another outside shot, but still missed.
Bogut protected the defensive rebound, and the Cavaliers could only execute foul tactics.
Although the game is not over yet, there is actually no suspense anymore.
Curry made 2 of 2 free throws, and the point difference had reached 9 points.
James once again attempted a three-pointer from the outside but failed. The Cavaliers did not continue to use foul tactics and watched the game time run out.
The buzzer sounded at the end of the game. The Warriors defeated the Cavaliers at home and successfully defended the dignity of the defending champion.
