NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 198 Victory in the First Battle
"Oops!"

Cole's heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong.

Sure enough, the turning point still appeared on Wang Feng!
Having played for the Warriors for two seasons, Wang Feng is well aware that the Warriors' tactics are used to playing with most players in the team, especially for players like Green who lack independent offensive means but need the ball to control the game. It couldn't be easier to judge his intentions one step ahead!
"Defense!"

The Warriors players quickly retreated immediately.

Wang Feng glanced at the situation on the court, and immediately decided to make a fast break, holding the ball and rushing straight towards the Warriors' backcourt.

Green, who was intercepted by Wang Feng, was chasing after him.

"Asshole! Stop it!"

Out of the corner of Wang Feng's eyes, he looked at Green who was chasing towards him with a ferocious expression, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.

The next moment, Wang Feng, who was one step ahead of the three-point line, suddenly stopped with one step, and then jumped up on the spot.

"He's about to make a move! Stop him!"

Green felt anxious, and immediately jumped up, his arms towards the basketball in Wang Feng's hand.

Wang Feng was waiting for this moment. He adjusted his shot position in the air and avoided Green's block. The latter's palm directly slapped Wang Feng's arm.

"squeak--!"

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

Green made a defensive foul and Wang Feng made three free throws!
With a gloomy face, Green went to the referee to argue indignantly, while on the other side, Wang Feng rubbed his arms and walked to the free throw line.

"Made, this guy is really badass..."

Green's dirty pen can be considered to be rich in experience. He knew that he had been fooled, and it was a foul anyway. It is mutual, and it is estimated that Green's palms are also numb at this time.

Fortunately, Wang Feng's free throw ability is relatively high, and the pain in his arm did not affect the feel too much. Wang Feng made all three free throws steadily.

With three free throws, the Cavaliers once again had a 5-point lead.

Originally, the Warriors could tie the score if they successfully scored the ball, but now the gap was widened because of a key steal by Wang Feng.

There are only 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

For the Warriors, the basketball was handed over to Curry. Obviously, they wanted to use Curry's three-point shooting ability once and for all to recover the point difference quickly. Judging from the little time left, it was completely worth it. take the risk.

When Curry used his teammates' pick-and-roll to find an open opportunity, and the moment he took off and shot, the hearts of all the fans in the audience hung up. They hoped that the ball could be hit.

However... "Bang!"

The crisp sound of iron striking made the hearts of all Warriors fans sink.

On the contrary, the fans who supported the Cavaliers all cheered in surprise.

James leaped high, protected the defensive rebound, and then dribbled the ball across the half court, directly breaking through and hitting the basket, causing the Warriors to foul again, making 2 of 2 free throws, and the point difference came to 7 points.

There is only a little more than 1 minute left in the game.

On the sidelines, Cole sighed helplessly.

The tide is gone.

In the next two rounds, Curry and Durant tried another three-pointer from the outside, but both failed to hit.

The Warriors no longer use foul tactics to resist, allowing the game time to run out every minute.

"drop--!"

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and the first game of the finals ended with the Cavaliers winning.

The score between the two teams was 119:114.

The highest score in the game was Kevin Durant's 34 points. In the first three quarters, he continued to use pick-and-roll misplaced singles to score, and his efficiency was very efficient. Rand's shooting percentage plummeted, which even directly led to the Warriors' lead being overtaken by the Cavaliers.

For the Cavaliers, the highest scorer was James with 31 points, followed by Wang Feng with 29 points. The two scored 60 points together. Adding Irving's 24 points and Love's 14 points, the four scored 98 points in total. Minute! .

The four stars of the Warriors, Durant 34 points, Curry 28 points, the two scored 62 points, even 2 points higher than James Wang Feng combined.

However, Klay Thompson played inaccurately in this game. He only made 16 of 3 shots and scored only 6 points.

Draymond Green was paddling as always, scoring 12 points on 3 of 8 shots, not much better than Thompson.

The two main players pulled their hips, causing the Warriors to lose the game even though the bench was superior.

After the game, at the press conference, Durant who was being interviewed was asked about the few minutes of the one-on-one matchup with Wang Feng. He kept his face dark and silent throughout the interview, and he was in an extremely bad mood.

And Cole shook his head and said: "In today's game, the Cavaliers played better than us. It's not surprising. They have LeBron, the best player in the league. They have rich experience in the finals. Although we won two Championship, but it also creates a feeling of slack..."

"But it doesn't matter. I believe that the loss of this game will make us regain our vigilance, and it is still long before the end."

Cole's words were not casual.

Although the Warriors lost the game, the Cavaliers exposed more problems than the Warriors during the game.

Klay Thompson's touch will not continue to be bad, and Curry cannot always be restricted by the Cavaliers' double-team tactics. However, if either of the Splash Brothers breaks out, the Cavaliers will not be able to withstand the powerful offensive firepower.

On the other hand, on the Cavaliers side, the shortcomings of the bench lineup are irreparable. It is impossible for the Cavaliers' five starters to stay on the court all the time. As long as they can seize the opportunity, the Warriors can crush the Cavaliers in one wave!
Cole's words will be fulfilled immediately in the second game 2 days later.

On June 6, the second game of the finals.

The Warriors continued to sit at home. In this game, the Warriors reversed their decline and played against the Cavaliers from the beginning of the game. They were always in the lead, and finally won 132:124, tying the score to 1:1.

In this game, Cole's words came true.

Klay Thompson swept away the slump in the last game and scored 12 points on 8 of 22 shots.

Curry and Durant scored 33 and 31 points respectively.

With all three outside players playing, the Warriors' firepower is really too strong!
For the Cavaliers, James scored 29 points, Wang Feng scored 27 points, and Irving scored 19 points, which is not much worse than the Warriors, and Love scored 21 points, which was better than Green with 12 points.

But the problem is that the Warriors had four All-Stars, and Iguodala scored 8 points, Livingston had 10 points, and Ian Clark had 10 points.

On the other hand, for the Cavaliers, there are very few people who can stand up on the bench. The highest scorer is Richard Jefferson with 7 points.

In a word, when the strength of the two teams' starting lineups is extremely close, the gap between the substitute lineups has become a key factor in the game!
