Chapter 331
Butler held the ball to face James and chose a mid-range pull-up. In response, James just stretched out his hand and didn't even jump.

Basketball hollow into the net!

"Beautiful, Butler scored 7 points in the first quarter tonight, it's amazing!"

However, looking back, James assisted JR Smith and hit a three-pointer.

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers felt overwhelming, and Irving, James and JR all hit three-pointers.

This also made it difficult for Butler to play very hard. Every time he scored a score, looking back, the Cavaliers returned the last goal.

In the past, because Li Pu was playing this kind of key ball, I didn't feel much about it, but now when I play it myself, I can feel that it is not easy for Li Pu.

With JR hitting this three-pointer, the time of the first quarter also came to an end. At 29:19, the Cavaliers beat the Kings by 10 points in a single quarter.

The Kings only scored 19 points in this quarter, mainly due to the players of the Kings, who were out of form and had many open opportunities, but failed to grasp them.

Giannis even dunked the basketball once!

Can you imagine that Giannis can actually dunk the ball?
Bai has such long arms!This ball can be dunked firmly by Griffin!
Therefore, Li Pu didn't care about being behind in the first quarter, and even comforted his teammates during the break.

"I don't know what you are nervous about? Isn't this just an ordinary game? We haven't played against the Cavaliers in the regular season? Are they our opponents?"

Li Pu's pretense of relaxed consolation did ease the tension of the players to a certain extent, but it was very limited. What really allowed them to enter the game had to be a wave of climax in the game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides went through several rounds of fighting, before Jokic assisted Covington to score an air cut and broke the deadlock.

Unlike in the Western Conference Finals, facing the Cavaliers in the finals, Jokic can play again.

Although the Cavaliers are also a three-point team, their tactics are completely different from the Warriors.

Especially the defender's ability to hold the ball for three-pointers is not comparable to the Warriors at all, so they can afford the consequences of asking teachers to be trained in the military.

To be honest, Jokic really didn't play like a rookie.

Compared with most young players, including Giannis, who were very nervous on the stage of the finals, Jokic didn't seem to know what nervousness was.

Seeing him on the court, he is lazy and sloppy, but he can always make correct judgments on the court.

Because of this, when Li Pu returned to the court, not only did the point difference not be widened, but it was narrowed to 6 points.

After Li Pu came back, he first passed the ball to Bledsoe to help him break through for a layup, and then gave the ball to Middleton on the outside. The latter missed a three-pointer, and he grabbed the offensive rebound to make up scored.

Many times, Li Pu Mingming can attack by himself, but he insists on handing it over to his teammates, and when his teammates fail to make shots, he grabs offensive rebounds to wipe their butts.

Obviously, all these performances are to tell the teammates, you can play with confidence, everything is up to me!
If we talk about the intermission, it is only in words, then all the performances on the court at this time are the embodiment of actions.

Li Pu's behavior can easily infect his teammates on the field. In addition, the team's momentum of chasing points is getting better and better at this time, and the teammates will naturally gradually get rid of the tension.

With Li Pu's dunk after turning around, the Kings finally overtook the score, and the teammates finally got rid of the tension at the beginning of the game.

Seeing that the Kings were on the rise, Blatter quickly called a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Owen used a difficult layup to help the Cavaliers regain the lead.

But at this time, the Kings' momentum has already risen, and the state of the players has been turned upside down from the first quarter. It is impossible to hold it down anymore!

Even Giannis can break through Love and make a one-stop dunk!

However, the Cavaliers have also become accustomed to being unable to defend their opponents. James teamed up with Irving and scored consecutively, which actually helped the team play back and forth with the Kings.

With James' ultra-long three-pointer, 51:48, the Cavaliers took a 3-point lead and ended the first half.

James felt really good tonight, no matter how he voted!
In the first half alone, he scored 19 points alone, more points than Irving and Love combined.

To be honest, James played very reasonably tonight. It can be seen that he really wants to win the championship!
However, after adjustments in the first half, the current Kings have gradually regained their status.

At the beginning of the second half, Shumpert missed a three-pointer. After receiving the rebound, Li Pu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, attracted double-teams and then passed the ball to the outside Middleton, who made another three-pointer!
"Zhongzhongzhong!"

"Middleton finally hits his first [-] of the night, Kings shooter finally makes a [-]!"

Kings fans waited for halftime, and finally waited for this moment.

With the ball hit, the Kings tied the score.

The situation in the third quarter was completely reversed from the first half.

After a first half of isolation, the Kings finally started to blossom in the third quarter.

In contrast to the Cavaliers, except for the Big Three, it is difficult for others to score now.

When the other players of the Kings returned to normal, the team's defense naturally went up.

Single defense, assisted defense, rotation defense, etc., are impeccable in every point. In this way, people like Shumpert and Mozkov have no chance to open shots at all, so it is naturally difficult to score.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers have the Big Three, and everyone can play singles, and the efficiency is not low, so the score with the Kings was stalemate for a while.

Time passed bit by bit, and the scores of the two sides seemed to be criss-crossed, gradually increasing.

Until the end of the third quarter, the two teams actually tied!

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jokic of the Kings showed his power again. He scored and assisted and beat the Cavaliers 7:0, directly allowing the Kings to lead the Cavaliers by 5 points.

Seeing this, Blatter quickly took James back.

Tonight, James only rested for 5 minutes, and it seems that he can only rest so much.

After James returned to the court, he successfully evened the point difference with sudden penalties. It was not until then that Li Pu returned to the court.

Tonight's Li Pu, except for a little exertion in the second quarter, the rest of the time seemed to be resting, and he didn't even sweat!
On the other hand, James, the panting sound at this time was like a tractor engine, deafening.

So, Li Pu stood up like this.

"boom!"

With another two-handed slam dunk, the point difference between the two teams has reached 10 points.

At this time, there is less than 1 minute left before the end of the game, and the Cavaliers have almost no chance of a comeback!

In the last quarter, Li Pu directly scored 13 points, completely killing the game!

When the referee blew the whistle, James' eyes were dull. He scored 44 points tonight, but it was still difficult to prevent the team from losing.

Obviously only lost the first game of the series, why do I feel that the debate series has come to an end?
