With a 15 point lead, the two sides began the last quarter of the competition.
Paul George took a break off the court. Donovan is not taranlou. He won't let his players stay on the field all the time. However, without Paul George's defense, James is much more relaxed! This also made the Cavaliers set off a wave of no small counterattack climax. Let all thunder people were started a cold sweat.
Thunder scored a goal as soon as he came up. The goal is Adams, he was at the top of the arc for Westbrook to block George Hill, has been stuck in his TT was wisbrokla away. So his chance came. Adams went straight to the basket without saying a word. At this time, Westbrook didn't get rid of the TT. It's too deep. There's no room to move! He subconsciously looked back for Adams, found the latter's figure, immediately threw the ball in the direction of the basket. By this time, Adams was ready. After Westbrook made the ball, he flew straight up and pressed George Hill and TT into the basket.
It's a typical pick and roll combination. Westbrook and Adams are quite familiar with it. On the first such a burst, but let the fans see very happy. But for the next few minutes, it was really depressing.
Looking back, lefoy pulled down the free throw line to the top of the arc, made a pick and roll for James in front of the three-point line, and then pulled straight out of the three-point line. Both brewer and Robertson follow James, and lefoy is emptied in an instant. With James' passing ability and vision, it is natural to seize such an opportunity. He looked back at the moon and gave the ball to Lefu. After the latter catches the ball, the opportunity is very good. The thunder player nearest to him is two meters away. He can even move the ball in place, then pull it up and throw it out.
The basketball hit xuan'er, crossed a high arc and fell into the net.
Lefoy's three-point goal is still very accurate. Thunder had done a good job on his defense before, but this time it was obvious that Robertson and brewer didn't communicate well. In the face of pick and roll, both men went after James.
In retrospect, ANLO got a chance at the three-point line. His three-point shooting rate in this game is quite high. But this time it failed! Of course, this shot is not a good chance. Westbrook broke into the basket on his own, but didn't have a good chance. The other thunder players were not in a good position. He took the basketball around the inside line, and finally pulled out the three-point line to launch the attack again. This time, Westbrook rushed in under the cover of Adams. But the Cavaliers players suddenly close to the basket, so that the sudden into the Westbrook very uncomfortable. Instead of playing hard, he put the ball out of the three-point line and gave it to ANLO. After the latter catches the ball, time is running out. Although Jr's defensive position is very good, but he still decisively shoots. In order to avoid being destroyed by the other side, he can only improve the arc of his hand.
With this adjustment, the ball is lost! It turns out that for a player who is good at three points, the feeling of the hand is the most important. Most of the time, the more rational you are, the less you can't get into it.
The rebound was snatched by lefoy, and they got the chance to close the score. This time it's not James who holds the ball. George Hill circled most of the way along the three-point line, then suddenly turned around, squeezed past Westbrook, and got to the basket. On the defensive side, Adams always stayed under the basket. Seeing George Hill coming, he stepped out of the reasonable impact zone ahead of time and stood in a position to wait for hill. Unexpectedly, the latter threw the ball directly into the sky.
If it wasn't for James, who came down from the sky, the ball would have been out of the question. But even James was very reluctant to finish the air connection. It's also James. It's really hard to do it for someone else.
After the ball, Donovan quickly called a pause. Although they are still two digit ahead, the players are in a bit of a loose state. This is not a good phenomenon! Not to mention in the finals, even in an ordinary regular season, when players relax in the game, they are likely to lose the game.
Donovan's face is blue and he is a criticism of these players.
"Guys, this is the finals! Our opponent is a superstar who has been in the finals for eight consecutive years. But we're a little slack now! Yes, we are more than ten points ahead, but what? Catch up in a few rounds! We need to stay focused all the time and not be careless. I think we don't want to lose because of our laxity? "
After a few words, the players came back. Paul George returned to the game after a few minutes of rest. Thunder finally did its best!
A different Paul George came up, and the situation on the field changed immediately. The tacit understanding of running in a season has reduced the pressure on Anluo and Westbrook. Especially in the defensive end, Robertson, Paul George and anlow's defense line, let James once again fall into the situation of wolf feeding. Whether it's James, even lefoy and Jr are gradually silent.
After the strength of the defensive side rose, so did the offensive side. After Anluo hit the three-point goal again, the thunder opened the difference to 15 points again. And they kept that difference until the end of the game.James tried! He played until two minutes before the end of the game. It's impossible to get back 16 points in two minutes. So, tyronroe replaced James and surrendered ahead of time.
The moment James left the game, the Chesapeake energy arena burst into deafening applause. It's a tribute to James, a recognition of a 33 year old. After that, everyone began to cheer without fear. This season, thunder not only reached the finals, but also won the first game. They really feel the breath of the championship!
After James left the field, Donovan also changed the main players such as Anluo, Westbrook and Paul George. Similarly, they were welcomed by endless cheers and cheers.
In the end, thunder beat the Cavaliers 105-92, taking a 1-0 lead in the finals.
