Chapter 734 Dramatic Ending
Ying Xiong's 3-pointer helped the Raptors rewrite the score to 104:102, leading the opponent by 2 points.At this point, there are only 7.9 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Cavaliers used up the final 20-second timeout.The advantage of the timeout is not only that you can arrange the tactics of the last attack, but you can also adjust the rotation of personnel and serve in the frontcourt.

"Momentum is back on Toronto's side, this game...momentum back and forth!" Mike Breen laughed.

"This really shows that this game is exciting enough!" Jeff Van Gundy also said with a smile.

"Jeff, do you think Cleveland will shoot a 2 or a 3?" Mike Breen asked.

"First of all, one thing is for sure, they will definitely run out of time. As for 2 points or 3 points, I am more inclined to shoot 2 points and then go to overtime. Because according to the psychology of the match, the opponent will definitely guard against the 3-point line. In this way, the protection of the basket will naturally be weaker, and in this way, there will be opportunities." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"Well, the analysis makes sense!" Mike Brin nodded in agreement.

Time passed by, and the home team fans at the scene were excited, but also began to worry a little bit. After all, in theory, the Cavaliers have a chance to kill, and the remaining time is more than enough to play a complete tactic.

"The most exciting moment has come!" Mike Breen explained passionately.

At this time, the lineup sent by the Cavaliers is the Big Three + JR + James Johnson, basically putting the most able to shoot and the most aggressive on the field.

"Having LeBron and Kerry + 3 outstanding 3-point players will really make it difficult for Toronto to defend!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

For the Raptors, Ying Xiong, DeRozan, Terrence Ross, Valanciunas and James Johnson were deployed.

"Toronto sent James Johnson! This is just unexpected!" Mike Breen said in surprise.

"I'm even more surprised that Toronto didn't use the No. 1 position. It seems that they plan to let Ying to guard Kerry!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Love stood near the sideline, ready to make a free throw, and the last 7.9 seconds of the game were finally coming!

The Raptors defended extremely tightly and did not give James and Irving a chance to easily receive the ball.

In order to avoid a service violation, Love could only serve the ball to James Jones.

James Jones hands the ball to James.

James holds the ball and breaks directly to the basket.

It is James Johnson defending James!
"It turns out that James Johnson is reserved for LeBron!" Mike Breen exclaimed.

The two are very close in stature and both have James in their names.

James almost pushed James Johnson in. Even the physically strong James Johnson still couldn't stop the opponent's power, which shows how terrifying James' power is.

James has been waiting for the opponent to flank, so that he can distribute to teammates who are open on the perimeter.Of course, their tactical arrangement does not have to shoot 3 points, and it would be a very good result to steadily score 2 points to play overtime.

The fans at the scene had stood up at this time, witnessing this crucial round of offense.

James rushed all the way to the edge of the penalty area, and he didn't wait to attack. At this time, he basically decided to attack by himself.Although James Johnson is strong, it is still difficult to restrain him one-on-one when he is fully fired.

When James was about to make a layup with his right hand, Valanciunas suddenly came over to help defend, and at this time, it was very, very difficult to get the ball out again.Anyone who has played basketball knows that sudden scoring is very particular about vision. Even a top point forward in the league like James, it is difficult to easily distribute the ball in this situation.

But James is James after all. He used the core strength against the sky in the air to turn his body around abruptly, and smashed a pass to Love in the corner with one hand.His cannonball-like smashing pass, the ball is fast and powerful, and it is difficult to be intercepted easily.

But at this moment, like a football goalkeeper diving to catch the ball, Ying Xiong threw it sideways and poked the ball out of the baseline!
"Ah—this is all right?" Mike Brin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ying Xiong saved the ball from the bottom line, but he fell to the floor hard.Even with his strong body, he still grimaced in pain.

The Raptors players immediately surrounded him, asked Ying Xiong if he was okay, and helped him up.

At this point, there are only 1.1 seconds left before the end of the game.And both sides, there is no timeout!This almost foreshadows that this is a one-shot deal, and there is no need to think about tactics or the like.

The Cavaliers continued to serve in the frontcourt.

It's hard to send the ball, but if you don't, it will be a violation.

Irving ran near the bottom line and finally caught the ball. After receiving the ball, he took a big stride towards the 3-point line and directly made a super long 3-point shot-but Ying Xiong's face-to-face blood cap came!
The ball rolled to the other end of the court, and the whistle sounded for the end of the game-the Raptors won!

After a moment of silence, wild cheers sounded immediately, resounding over the entire arena!The players of the Raptors surrounded Ying Xiong, celebrating excitedly, as if they had already won the championship.

"Jeff, I didn't expect the game to end in such a dramatic way!" Mike Brin sighed with a long breath.

"This game was really dramatic. It was the most exciting game in Toronto this year. Until the last second of the game, both sides still had a chance to win. The game was so exciting!" Jeff Van Gundy sighed.

Relying on Yingxiong's one attack and one defense at the critical moment, the Raptors struggled to win the Tianwangshan battle.For them, the balance of victory in the series has already tilted towards them. As long as they win another victory, they will enter the finals for the third consecutive year in the future.

In this game, Ying Xiong played 43 minutes and scored 52 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.At the most critical moment of the game, he stood up and used hard power to win the game.

After the game, a reporter asked Ying Xiong, at the last moment of the game, did he think about what would happen if he lost the game.

Ying Xiong said that he never thought about this, what he thought about was how to win the game.I have absolute confidence in my ability to win to the end.

After the Raptors win the battle of Tianwangshan, G6 of the series will be moved to the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland.For the Cavaliers, they are already standing on the edge of a cliff. If they want to advance to the finals, they need to win the next two games.

The Cavaliers regrettably lost this game, but they did not completely lose hope of advancing to the finals. They almost defeated the mighty Raptors in the away game. Once they return home and win G6, what is the tie-break really? Anything can happen.
