Chapter 105 Narrowing the Difference
The third quarter begins.

Su Tian saw that the Warriors also made substitutions.

The Warriors really made it to the five small lineups.

The mind of chasing the difference is self-evident.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the first ball was given to the Warriors.

Green continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and Su Tian followed Curry closely.

Curry's last three-pointer was too scary, and Su Tian had to put all his thoughts into it.

But no matter how closely Su Tian chased him, Curry still found a chance to catch the ball.

As soon as Curry received the ball here, Su Tian caught up.

The shooting opportunity is fleeting.

Seeing that he had no chance to shoot, Curry had to play the ball again.

Just in time, after passing the ball, Green made a pick-and-roll for Clay on the side.

Clay received the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Clay made a direct three-pointer.

40-36, the point difference came to 4 points.

Seeing that the point difference was about to be caught up, James took the ball and wanted to stabilize the point difference.

James came to the frontcourt with the ball himself.

Against Iguodala's defense.

James still called Su Tian's pick and roll.

Trying to single Curry.

But how could Curry, who is like a loach, easily give James such an opportunity.

James saw that Su Tian failed to switch Curry successfully for two consecutive pick-and-rolls.

Had to face Iguodala.

James lunges directly to the right of Iguodala.

Iguodala couldn't keep up in time and was a step behind James.

It is the distance of this step that Iguodala can never catch up with.

James broke through all the way to the basket and jumped straight up.

Iguodala thought James was about to dunk and ran away.

James saw Iguodala running away, but turned a dunk into a layup, and the basketball hit steadily.

In key battles, learning to save energy is also a technical task.

42-36, the point difference returned to 6 points.

Turning around, it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

Su Tian followed Curry tightly this time, and Curry couldn't even find a chance to catch the ball.

Green stood at the top of the arc, staring at the playing field with both eyes.

Suddenly, Clay on the flank ran towards Green.

Green made a wall for Klay while giving the ball to Klay.

Clay received the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Clay hit another three-pointer.

42-39, only three points left.

Tai Lue stood on the sidelines and couldn't help wiping cold sweat.

These three points are used to chase points, which is really amazing.

The ball was converted, and James received the ball directly from the backcourt.

James pushed himself to the frontcourt.

Against Iguodala's defense again.

This time James' breakthrough, Iguodala still did not prevent it.

But the rest of the Warriors began to help defend.

Clay started moving in James' direction.

James broke through and scored the ball to the bottom corner jr.

jr catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer directly.

As a man who highlights Jordan, it's not that simple.

The Warriors have to pay the price.

Swah——

Jr three-pointer was caught accurately.

45-39, the point difference stabilized.

In the next two rounds, both sides began to strike iron.

Only James fouled and got two free throws, but he only made 1 of the two free throws.

46-39, Cole called a timeout.

In the third quarter, he played several rounds in a row, but there was no improvement. Cole didn't know what to do.

Tai Lue took the opportunity to replace Su Tian and Dellavedova.

Su Tian can also rest for a few minutes, and Su Tian is estimated to play the full fourth quarter.

Soon, the timeout ends and the game begins.

The Warriors significantly accelerated the transition speed on the first ball.

Curry was chased by Dellavedova and ran around the court.

Although Curry did not run out of opportunities.

But the Warriors' chance was run out by Curry.

Klay capitalized on the attention Curry attracted.

He played with Green.

Received a pass and made a three-pointer.

46-42, 4 points difference.

In the third quarter, the Warriors' offensive firepower should not be underestimated.

If the Cavaliers want to completely defeat the Warriors, the third quarter is a hurdle that must be crossed.

The ball is switched, and it's the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Still James holds the ball.

This time James found Love to play a pick-and-roll.

Since Curry cannot be singled out.

Then single Barnes.

At least better than singles Iguodala.

James started to break through Barnes with the pick-and-roll.

Barnes could only follow closely without losing his position.

But this kind of keeping in place can only play a superficial role.

Still can't really stop James' breakthrough.

James came all the way to the basket, and Green had to help defend.

But James didn't pass the ball.

Because it was Thompson who was facing Green at this time, not Love.

James forced a layup.

boom--

James missed a layup.

Green grabs the rebound.

Green grabbed the rebound and started to advance directly with the ball.

Want to fight back.

Green pushed all the way to the frontcourt.

Dellavedova has been chasing Curry.

Curry was really miserable this time.

He was either followed by Su Tian, ​​or bitten by Delavidova.

This time it was Clay who found a chance.

Green took advantage of Clay's air cut and passed the ball in place.

Clay has poor dribbling though.

But such a catch and layup is still no problem.

And jr, who is defending Clay, has been paying attention to Clay's three-pointers.

Instead, the air cut under the basket was ignored.

Clay received the ball and made a layup.

46-44, Clay scored consecutively, leaving only two points behind.

James received the ball this time and advanced steadily.

I want to stabilize the rhythm.

Coming to the frontcourt, James is still looking for Love to pick and roll.

This time James' breakthrough was double-teamed by Barnes and Iguodala.

James sent the ball to Love at the top of the arc.

Love faced Curry, who came to help defend, and directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Love hit a three-pointer.

49-44, with a score difference of 5 points.

In the next few rounds, both sides began to strike iron.

This is inevitable.

The defensive intensity is too great, and the physical exertion is also great.

The hit rate came down naturally.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers maintained a 5-point gap.

58-53, ending the third quarter.

During the intermission, Tyronn Lue has been emphasizing attention to the Warriors' three-pointers and fast-break counterattacks.

However, the reason why the Warriors are difficult to guard is not because everyone does not know.

But everyone knows that they just can't prevent it.

Cole is also having a hard time here.

James is a difficult point to solve.

And although Owen is gone.

But the Cavaliers still have Su Tian, ​​who can make up for Irving's vacancy to a certain extent.

Especially, in the upcoming fourth quarter.

According to the technical statistics of the Warriors.

Su Tian, ​​a rookie, always explodes in an inexplicable state in the fourth quarter.

Cole was already on guard in the last game.

However, James' continuous possession of the ball caused Su Tian's role to be greatly reduced.

So in the last game, Su Tian's performance was mediocre.

nothing special.

However, this one is different.

Owen's injury and retirement caused Su Tian's role to increase.

This instead adds some uncertainties to the Cavaliers.

I don't know whether Irving's injury or retirement is a good thing or a bad thing.

Soon, the intermission is over and the fourth quarter begins.

Sure enough, Su Tian was assigned to play, and Cole looked at Tylen Lue.

Cole didn't know what kind of medicine that Tyronn Lue gave this rookie, and he was always so fierce in the fourth quarter.
