Chapter 103 The Game Ends Early

Until the players from both sides entered the locker room, the fans at the scene still didn't seem to react, blinking from 6 points behind to 15 points behind, it felt like a dream to them.

Regardless of the reason for the Cavaliers' victory in Game 3, in the eyes of all Cavaliers fans, the significance of their team winning an away game is very significant.Back in Cleveland, Cavaliers fans have reason to believe that the team is stronger at home, causing huge problems for the Celtics, and even winning two straight games to lead 1-[-] on aggregate. opponent.

But after halftime, the situation was completely different from what they expected. They trailed by 15 points at halftime. This is completely unimaginable to Cavaliers fans, but it is the truth.

"It's only 15 points behind. We still have a halftime chance. Think about how the Celtics were reversed by the Eagles in those two games. We can do what the Eagles can do." When this point of view When the Cavaliers fans started to breed in their minds, they finally found their confidence again, and after the second half began, the cheers of the Quicken Loans Arena re-emerged.

"LeBron, kill those guys and reverse them!" "We have the omnipotent LeBron, the king LeBron, the victory must still belong to us." "Kill them, and we will reach the finals again."

"Fifteen points behind at halftime, I don't think Cleveland has any ability to comeback. Of course, if they have six players playing, it may cause some surprises." Barkley looked at the players who re-entered the court , said with a mocking face.

Barkley has reason to hope that the Celtics can win, otherwise he is not sure whether Yang Shuai, who was whistled for a technical foul in the first half, will bombard the NBA officials again after the game. The $35000 just handed over is enough He felt distressed, if he came back just two days later, he wondered if his salary was directly used to help Yang Shuai pay the fine.

It is impossible for the Cavaliers to accept the situation of being behind at home until the end of the game, so they launched a strong attack at the beginning of the third quarter.

James keeps breaking through to attract the Celtics' double-teams, and then distributes the ball to the outside to attack, but the Celtics' defense does not rely on one or two people, they rely on the whole, so despite James' move It brought some opportunities for the perimeter, but overall, the Cavaliers did not put tremendous pressure on the Celtics on the offensive end.

The Celtics, who were not under too much oppression on the defensive end, performed very steadily on the offensive end. Although they did not have the same offense as in the first half, they did not experience a scoring shortage.

After 7 minutes in the third quarter, the difference between the two teams was still 14 points. The Cavaliers seemed a little impatient during this period. With continuous outside shots, James no longer deployed his teammates as rationally as he did at the beginning of the third quarter. He began to slowly increase his singles.

Realizing this, Rivers made decisive adjustments, replacing Ray Allen with Yang Shuai, and Garnett, who had rested for nearly 3 minutes, also replaced him again. Let's bring words, seize the opportunity, and expand the lead!

77:63, the Celtics still lead by 14 points, but just a mistake by Perkins gave the Cavaliers the right to attack.

After James took the ball, Yang Shuai replaced Pierce and stopped in front of the opponent.James and handsome guy Yang are not happy with each other, this is a very clear thing, and there is no need to say too many reasons for their dislike, they just don't like each other.Just like now, when he sees James, handsome guy Yang can't help but say something.

"Barbarian, you definitely don't think that the referee's call will bring such a result. I suddenly hope that those guys will start to intervene in the game, because this will give me and my teammates the greatest motivation. Today I shot 3 three-pointers , This is not enough, my goal is five, oh yes, did you score three points today? There seems to be one, tsk tsk, what a pity, this is the small forward who claims to be the most comprehensive in the league? Hey, that’s all.”

Listening to Yang Shuai's sarcastic words, it was impossible for James not to be angry. What really left him speechless was that what Yang Shuai said was true. The offense has not found the state, including the last "winning" game, and he only scored 23 points, which is far from his season average of 30 points per game.

James was dribbling the ball outside the three-point line, and Yang Shuai's defense was in place. Apart from relying on the impact of his body, James didn't have much means to face high-intensity defense. With the help of Ilgauskas' pick-and-roll , James moved a step laterally outside the three-point line, and took advantage of Yang Shuai's jump before he could pounce in time.

Seeing James' shot, both Yang Shuai and Rivers off the court laughed. What they want to see most is the present. If James starts obsessing with outside attacks, the Celtics will have a chance. .

"Bang!" The ball hit the inside of the basket, but it did not fall into the basket as James wished, but rebounded and fell into Garnett's hands.

James' three-pointers in this series are really average. He made 6 of 0 shots in the first game and 4 of 0 shots in the second game. Today, including this ball, he made 4 of 1 shots.

"Seize the opportunity and attack! Yang, shoot a three-pointer! Shoot Cleveland to death!" Barkley maintained a high fighting spirit throughout the game, especially when Yang Shuai played.

Yang Shuai didn't get a chance. The ball moved around in the middle distance and fell into the hands of Perkins on the baseline. Facing Ilgauskas Perkins, he chose to shoot directly.

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced to the other side. Seeing this, Yang Shuai, who had already judged the landing point, rushed over quickly, and then jumped up in front of James to take the rebound.

James thought the rebound was something out of his pocket, but Yang Shuai intercepted it in the middle, so he quickly moved towards Yang Shuai.

Handsome Yang knows his weakness, so he didn't choose to single James at close range, but passed the ball to Rondo on the outside, and then quickly ran to the left to take a step away from James.

Rondo returned the pass very quickly. Although James had already run close after receiving the pass, handsome Yang still found a chance to make a shot.Facing James, Yang Shuai had plenty of reasons not to be soft-hearted. In addition, he felt really good today, and shooting became his only thought at this time.

"Shooting against LeBron, that's it, go in! Roll me to the basket, yes, the ball is in! Yang, he continued the fiery touch in the first half, hit the mid-range, oh, so easy!" Barkley's tone made the Cavaliers fans in front of the screen want to turn off the sound directly.

The attack has begun!

Seeing Yang Shuai's goal, the Celtics fans are so sympathetic, they hope to see another attack wave, 6:0 or 10:0, as long as the point difference can be widened to 20 points Above, they don't care what happens on the field.

James chose to break through, but the Celtics did not give him an easy layup. Yang Shuai, Rondo, and Garnett wrapped James in the middle, and James had to choose to split the ball.

The ball was supposed to be passed to Szczerbiak, but after being touched by Garnett, it flew towards West. Rondo returned to the defense very quickly. Seeing that West was about to shoot, he quickly jumped up. .

West played a trick at this time, slightly avoiding the flying Rondo, and took a step forward to shoot, but just as he took off, he found another figure in front of him again.

"Want to shoot? It's too easy to think!" When the voice of the handsome man Yang sounded in front of West, West's fate was already doomed.

"Crack!" The high-level jumping and high-level blocking skills played a role at this time. Handsome Yang jumped up, and then slammed his big hand on the basketball that had just left West's hand.

"Great! Young, great block! Kevin got the ball and threw it to Rajon, chance!"

Chance!Celtics fans understand that this is an opportunity, an opportunity for a fast break, an opportunity to open the score!

rush!The five players of the Celtics gave full play to their speed, and the Cavaliers also retreated quickly. Rondo and West had the upper hand in the contest, and accelerated after changing directions. With two steps beyond the line, he threw off West and rushed to the basket quickly.

Drop Duo's breakthrough made the Cavaliers' defensive line, which could not be called advance and retreat, mess up, but Drop Duo didn't seem to be disturbed at all. He continued to accelerate towards the basket, and was about to hit Ilgauska At this time, his body stopped suddenly, he turned his body slightly, and then threw the ball beyond the three-point line.

"Yang... no one is defending!"

No one noticed Yang Shuai, at least a few Cavaliers players on the court did not notice that Yang Shuai had run to an unguarded position. When he saw Yang Shuai take off and shoot from outside the three-point line, Brown jumped up on the sidelines. A few fans put their hands under their eyes subconsciously. They were afraid of seeing Yang Shuai's goal, but they also wanted to see Yang Shuai's shot miss.

The entanglement time was not too long. It took only a blink of an eye for the basketball to reach the basket from beyond the three-point line. Seeing the basketball falling straight towards the basket, the eyes of the Cavaliers fans began to be a little absent-minded, "Maybe, the ball will hit the basket. On the basket."

"Shua!" The crisp sound of rubbing shattered the dreams of Cavaliers fans, the ball hit hollow!

"Yeah!" Yang Shuai jumped up from outside the three-point line, swung his fists vigorously, and then raised his hands high, like a hero receiving cheers.

There were no cheers, but the Cavaliers fans still gave Yang Shuai a gift-boos that seemed to penetrate the eardrums. When these boos reached Yang Shuai's ears, they had already converted into cheers.

"What can I say? What else can I say? Young, this is a three-pointer that makes Celtics fans feel good. A 19-point lead. I think the game is over early."

Fans of the Cavaliers don’t think that the game has ended early, and the point difference has not exceeded 20 points. Since they have such an idea, the Celtics players will give them a blessing. Pierce hits the inside and makes a layup, widening the point difference to 21 points.

The fourth quarter turned into garbage time, and the Cavaliers players lost their fighting spirit. At 112:90, the Celtics beat the Cavaliers by 22 points in the away game. The series led the opponent 2:1. In the previous game After the end, Rivers once said that since the opponent can win at their own home court, they can also win at the opponent's home court. The Cavaliers' first home court, the victory really belongs to the Celtics.
