Chapter 1349: Final Battle, No Suspense
Hugs for wins, tunnel for losses.
Fans who are familiar with James should already be very familiar with this set.
Many fans, mainly James fans, said they could understand. After all, they lost the game and it was normal to be in a bad mood. How could you not make people angry?
However, many people can also see that James was acting a little bit, and his real mood may not be that bad.
But today, everyone can see that there is absolutely no showmanship in James's explosive equipment as he walks along the way.
That's a real breakdown!
"Uh, LeBron James still needs to be more mature."
Looking at James who walked all the way back to the tunnel without even taking off his team uniform, Barkley, who was the first to point out his defensive breakdown, said.
After all, on the court, Irving and Howard, who also lost the game, did not leave immediately. Although they did not interact much with the Knicks players, they at least thanked the fans.
"It's understandable. He performed at his best recently, with 39 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, and a good shooting percentage. However... he still couldn't bring a win. The score of 3-0 basically declared the Cavaliers dead. This is really too much of a blow to James, who is already 30 years old and has yet to win his first championship in his career." Kenny Smith also said a few words for James.
Things are so cruel. If you were in James' position, your defense would probably be even more broken.
First the Heat and then the Cavaliers, for five consecutive years, they changed so many All-Star teammates, spent so much time and money, but in the end they were beaten like this by a team, and they couldn’t even make it to the finals for so many consecutive years…
It hurts to think about it.
This year, we finally made a comeback, but ended up losing three games in a row...
To be honest, Kenny Smith's mentality is about to explode just thinking about it.
"There's nothing we can do. This is basketball. No matter how many star players you have, no matter how much money you spend, no matter how you form a team, no matter how many teams you change, there is no guarantee that you can win the championship," O'Neal said.
He was deeply touched by these words.
Whether he was the F4 of the Lakers, or later teamed up with James in the Cavaliers, teamed up with Nash and Stoudemire in the Suns, or finally joined the Big Five in the Celtics, O'Neal was never able to touch the floor of the finals.
On the contrary, the Heat, who were the least favored at the time, and rookie Wade achieved great success.
The most successful team is of course the Lakers. The OK combination is invincible, but when they were rising, who would have thought that just him and Kobe could create a purple and gold dynasty.
So this championship still depends on luck!
O'Neal was almost about to say "You're not destined to be a champion."
But what O'Neal said was also true. After all, in his opinion, the Knicks are the best example. From the worst team in the league to the first dynasty in history, the Knicks relied not on spending big money or recruiting star players, but on a stable draft.
Of course, O'Neal has to admit that Zuo Li is too buggy, just like Jordan in the 90s, who made it difficult for players of an entire era to breathe.
今晚，左立同样以43分17篮板10助攻7封盖3抢断冠绝全场，三双不算，64.8%的命中率也是无法想象。
In addition, Zuo Li's 8 three-pointers in a single game tonight also set a new high in this season's playoffs.
No matter how well you perform, Zuo Li will always be better than you.
This may be one of the reasons why James' defense was broken.
Of course, the Knicks' victory was not only due to Zuo Li's performance.
库里5个三分，27分7助攻，克莱19分7篮板，伊戈达拉14分，路威17分，大卫李13分7篮板3封盖……
The energy of the whole team suppressed Irving's 24 points and Howard's 20 points.
After the game, the commentators also discovered the Knicks' tactics in this game.
That is, although you have three giants, and your three giants are very powerful, I have Zuo Li, and more than just Zuo Li!
"Teamwork is king. We played the best offense tonight. I know that many fans will discuss some issues after the game, which has caused us some trouble. However, we are more than what you see. We are stronger! So, we won."
After the game, Zuo Li said in an interview.
As for the problems mentioned, those who understand will understand. Just look at the referee who was criticized so much online after the game that he couldn't even recognize his mother and you will understand.
But the referee certainly won't take it seriously. After all, it's not up to them to decide. Moreover, since they didn't do it in this game, the outcome will definitely be the same as before.
Zuo Li also thought of this, so in the fourth game, the Knicks did not have the requirement to win.
"It would be great to advance to the finals early, but staying healthy is more important." Zuo Li had already guessed that the Cavaliers would definitely try their best in the fourth game, so they simply dodged!
On the 25th, with the joint efforts of the entire Cavaliers team, the Cavaliers avoided being swept by the Knicks.
101 to 109, the Cavaliers successfully pulled one back!
老詹全场比赛19投6中，其中三分球5投0中，加上罚球，詹姆斯一共拿到了17分、7篮板、6助攻。
This game was James' worst performance in this round of the Eastern Conference Finals, but he won.
How to say it, it's a bit embarrassing.
The reason why the Cavaliers won the game was that Irving had a big outbreak, scoring 36 points in the game. With Curry absent due to injury, he was the leader.
But many people understand why the Cavaliers won this game.
Firstly, the Knicks took the initiative to rest Curry, saying publicly that it was because of ankle discomfort. The team was afraid that the Cavaliers would use some tricks to give Curry, who was the weakest, some strength.
Secondly, the knights' fight was more aggressive, with all kinds of ferocious moves happening one after another. Zuo Li was knocked down once, and others were targeted.
Although the Knicks fought back, the referee's occasional biased whistles determined the final outcome.
The Knicks could accept the final score.
The Cavaliers, especially James, were extremely excited.
At least the Knicks' winning streak was ended!
"We will be back!" James regained his spirits after the game.
On the 27th, the fifth round of "Nike Wars 4" returned to New York.
For Knicks fans, everyone was happy that the Knicks did not sweep the Heat.
After all, no one thought that the Knicks would be overturned by the Heat after leading 3-0.
If the Knicks play one more home game, the fans can watch one more game. How pleasant is that?
and…
Now that we're back at Madison Square Garden, the referees and the others will probably behave themselves!
...
Sure enough, as soon as the game started, the Knicks showed a completely different temperament from the previous game.
Zuo Li took the lead in the interior, continuously singled out Howard, and made the Beast unable to move.
Afterwards, Curry, who had taken a break, fired from the outside. In 2 minutes, he made four three-pointers, all of which were very long and directly excited the scene!
31-19 in a single quarter!
The familiar Knicks are back!
In the second quarter, the Cavaliers began to chase points under the leadership of Irving and James. The two scored 19 points in a row, allowing the Cavaliers to catch up to 4 points at one point!
However, in the third quarter, Zuo Li showed his strength again!
Abnormally accurate means abnormally accurate!
Zuo Li made consecutive pick-and-roll shots from the outside, and every shot hit the target!
16-0!
After Zuo Li launched this offensive frenzy, the Knicks were already leading by 20 points!
The Knicks didn't give the Heat any more chances.
113 to 119, the Knicks successfully defended G5 and advanced to this season's NBA Finals with a total score of 4 to 1!
