NBA’s aging star system

A dunk by James not only showed his abundant physical reserves, but also boosted the morale of the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers have a 20-point lead, and with James on the court, the Cavaliers have a huge advantage.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors kept trying three-pointers. After all, if they want to catch up with this point difference in a short time, they can only rely on three-pointers.

However, the overall three-point feel of the Warriors in this game was not very good. Coupled with the physical exhaustion in the fourth quarter, the feel declined.

In the end, the Cavaliers stabilized the point difference and finally won the game 137-116, with the score tied at 2-2.

詹姆斯本场出战42分钟，全场拿到31分11助攻10篮板1抢断，拿下30+三双！

More importantly, James only scored 20 points in the first three quarters, and the remaining 11 points were all scored in the fourth quarter, laying the foundation for the final victory.

Irving scored the highest score in the game, with 40 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Most of the scoring was concentrated in the first three quarters, shouldering the team's main scoring responsibility.

For the Warriors, Durant scored 35 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, the highest score among the Warriors.

库里只拿到14分10助攻5篮板，三分仅有9投2中。

Clay only had 13 points, and the Splash Brothers couldn't shoot away.

The Warriors' overall three-point shooting percentage was only 28% in this game, making 39 of 11 shots. The failure to open the three-pointer was also one of the reasons for the Warriors' defeat.

"Seeing this statistics, everyone should be able to see that the Warriors' loss was mainly due to the lack of three-point shooting. It was not that the Cavaliers suddenly became stronger." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, the TNT studio was also reviewing the game, and everyone was discussing who should take the blame. Ah, no, it was the reason for the loss.

"Kenny, you can't just deny the Cavaliers' defense. It's precisely because the Cavaliers' defensive warriors can't shoot easily." O'Neal immediately retorted.

"No, no, no, it's only a matter of time before the Cavaliers lose. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that this game was just an accident. The Warriors will not give the Cavaliers another chance." Kenny Smith said.

"You can't say it so harshly, man, do you want to make a bet like me?" Buckley suddenly interjected.

"Hahaha, no need for a bet, we are just discussing normally."

The day after the fourth game, James sent a text message to Su Tian.

"Brother, thank you very much for your advice. Let's wait for our three consecutive championships in Cleveland!"

After Su Tian received the news, he briefly replied, "Come on, buddy, I'm waiting for you to win the championship."

At this time, James' excitement has not passed yet, so he cannot throw cold water on him.

On June 6th, the Cavaliers came to Auckland, preparing to start the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the finals!

In this round of the series, the referee did not play much role. The two teams really played this role, which is what the league wants to see.

The NBA only looks good when the game is evenly matched, and blindly crushing games is meaningless.

The next day, June 6, the competition started.

The starting lineup is still the regular starting lineup, and neither side has changed its formation.

The opening ball was seized by the Warriors, and Curry got the ball and began to advance.

The Warriors' offense still follows conventional tactical arrangements, without many changes.

Obviously Cole also felt that the reason he lost the last game was because he failed to shoot a three-pointer.

Curry passed the ball to Durant, and Durant passed the ball to Green.

Green made a concealed ground pass to Curry who was cutting in the air. Curry caught the ball and scored a layup.

0-2

During the ball possession transition, the Warriors' tactical coordination was very subtle, which is not good news for the Cavaliers.

Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to James. After passing the ball, Irving was not idle and started running without the ball.

The Cavaliers' offensive tactics in this game were the same as in the previous game. Irving was still allowed to attack first, while James saved his energy for the fourth quarter.

However, the Warriors' defensive tactics changed. They defended tightly near Irving, but only defended James alone.

Upon seeing this, James rushed into the paint with the ball, overcame the defense and forced a layup.

2-2

James's determined attack was not to regain the right to attack, but to attract the defense in this way and create a good offensive environment for Irving.

In the next few rounds, no matter how determined James was in attacking, the Warriors did not change their defensive tactics and still deployed defense around Irving.

The Cavaliers also had a slight upper hand under James' attack.

At the end of the first quarter, the score reached 37-33, and the Cavaliers temporarily led by 4 points.

Although the Cavaliers are ahead, this lead is achieved at the expense of James' physical strength.

This method proved to be ineffective in the second game.

Now it seems that he is forced to follow the old path again. Tyronn Lue also wants to change the status quo, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Apart from Irving, there is no other person in the Cavaliers who can guarantee that their offensive status is stable.

James doesn't have many helpers.

During the break, Tyronn Lue wanted to change his tactics, and he still wanted James to save a certain amount of energy and stay in the fourth quarter.

So the substitution adjustments began in the second quarter, and Deron replaced Irving.

Tyronn Lue doesn't think the Warriors will still deploy such a tight defense around Deron. At the same time, in order to ensure the team's offense, Irving's role was assigned to Jr. Smith.

Soon, the second quarter began and the Cavaliers had the ball.

James was still in control of the ball. At this time, the Warriors discovered that Irving was not present, so they naturally focused their defensive attention on James.

In order to better attract the defense, James directly held the ball and hit hard in the first round. When he came to the basket and encountered help defense, he pushed away the defense and forced a shot.

boom--

The basketball missed, but at the same time the referee blew the whistle.

James made one of two free throws.

Although he failed to score, James showed his determination to attack.

The ball possession changed and it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

Livingston came to the frontcourt with the ball and gave it directly to Green. Green stood at the top of the arc with the ball, observing the movements of his teammates.

After a series of exquisite cooperation, Clay had a three-point opportunity, and Green quickly passed the ball to it.

Clay caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Klay hit a three-pointer directly.

"It seems that the Warriors' three-point shooting in this game has returned to normal." Kenny Smith said.

"Really, but the Cavaliers are in the lead now." Barkley retorted in an instant muscle memory version.

In fact, Barkley regretted it after he said it. Barkley's retort to Kenny Smith was just subconscious, but Barkley is also a person who understands the game and can see that the Cavaliers are in trouble now.

But now that the words have been spoken, Barkley can only bite the bullet and continue.

"James is still working hard, and the Cavaliers still have a chance."

Just as Barkley finished saying this, Jr. missed a three-pointer after receiving a pass from James.

"Well, I mean, James should attack more so that the Cavaliers have a chance. James is so selfless!"
