Rockets starting lineup, Alston, Zhang Zhiyuan, Battier, Hayes, Yao Ming.
There have been some changes in the Cavaliers' starting lineup, and Larry Hughes continues to be abandoned.
Their starting lineup became Gibson, Pavlovich, James, Gooden, and Ilgauskas.
"It is said that after the last game, a fierce conflict broke out between Larry Hughes and Mike Brown. Larry Hughes questioned Brown's tactics, and Mike Brown criticized Larry Hughes for not playing well."
Smith uses the word 'supposedly', but in fact he has reliable sources confirming that this is true.
"Pavlovic's starting position is not necessarily a bad thing for the Cavaliers. He matches James better."
Buckley said.
Just as he said that, the first round of the battle had already begun on the court.
The Rockets attacked first, Zhang Zhiyuan slipped to the baseline, then cut to the basket while his opponent was not paying attention, caught the ball and dunked.
"It seems that Zhang has really recovered, but the knight is going to be worse."
Smith said.
"It's hard to say. Do you really believe that he is an honest person? Maybe he is bluffing. If you believe him, you will be fooled."
Barkley complained.
The audience laughed when they heard this. Honest Man has become a meme in North America these days.
Many people say that they are an ‘honest person’.
Even some celebrities joined in the fun, and DiCaprio said that he is an honest person.
During the transition between offense and defense, James made a very dishonest move and pushed Battier away while breaking through.
It is not a foul to have heavy shoulders. Almost every player lowers his center of gravity when breaking through, which looks like heavy shoulders.
If the shoulder does not touch the defender, there is no foul.
If it touches a defensive player, it is definitely a foul. But if it does not adversely affect the defender, the referee will not call it.
If the attacker exerts too much force and affects the defender, the referee can decide whether to call or not depending on the situation.
There are a lot of rules like this in the NBA about what can and cannot be called, causing many fans to be completely confused about the rules of basketball.
James bumped into Battier, and Battier leaned back directly. If his left leg hadn't taken a step back to release the force, he would have fallen to the ground.
Shane Battier is the real honest man, Varejao would have been rolling on the ground long ago.
The referee didn't call the call, and James went to the basket and responded with a dunk.
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the referee and then at James.
He didn't say anything, but his expression seemed to say everything.
Zhang Zhiyuan reluctantly followed his teammates. He originally thought that the referee's favoritism would at least wait until the Cavaliers fell behind, but he did not expect such favoritism from the beginning. It was indeed a bit excessive.
After halftime, Zhang Zhiyuan actively moved, and Pavlovich quickly followed up.
But Zhang Zhiyuan still received the pass and made a breakthrough stance.
James quickly leaned towards him, and Battier immediately ran in the opposite direction with James. Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball, and Battier caught the ball.
The ball goes in.
A group of knights who use a small routine to play around.
The Cavaliers attacked, James found a good opportunity, and rushed directly.
Battier didn't even step forward to block the ball. If he was hit, he would probably be knocked away. More importantly, if he didn't stand up in advance, it would be a foul to block the ball.
Everyone watched helplessly as James went for a layup, and there was nothing they could do against him.
It was a draw at 4-4, and both sides showed real skill at the beginning.
The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming bullied Ilgauskas at the basket and hit a hook shot.
The Cavaliers counterattacked, but James finally missed and hit the crowd when he broke through.
Because Hayes took his position in advance, James' collision foul was too obvious, and the referee did not dare to act too recklessly.
The ball is transferred and the Rockets attack.
Zhang Zhiyuan tried to run, but Pavlovich's arm deliberately reached Zhang Zhiyuan's armpit, and the two arms were entangled, and Zhang Zhiyuan was unable to run.
This kind of little action is very annoying, because neither of them has the ball in their hands, and the referee will not keep an eye on it. Even if he sees it, he may not call it for the sake of the smoothness of the game.
If every small move of the players without the ball is called, a game can last for at least 10 hours, which is not realistic.
Zhang Zhiyuan threw Pavlovich's arm away hard, and Pavlovich stumbled and almost fell down. He suddenly turned into a tough guy and pushed his head against Zhang Zhiyuan's chest. He was still cursing in an attempt to anger Zhang Zhiyuan.
Before the game, Mike Brown gave him a task, which angered Zhang Zhiyuan.
If he could force Zhang Zhiyuan to punch him, then he would have achieved great success.
Zhang Zhiyuan ignored him and chose to walk away.
If he loses his status by fighting with such a small character, it would be better if he were replaced by James.
"Pavlovich is doing something, but I don't think he can succeed. Zhang is not the kind of player who has no brains."
Smith said.
"It's hard to say. Sometimes Zhang will do some unexpected and incredible things. If he suddenly beat Pavlovich violently and then announced his retirement, I wouldn't be surprised at all."
Buckley said.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Rockets fans were really worried about Zhang Zhiyuan's sudden behavior.
The Cavaliers attacked, and Pavlovich continued to play with Zhang Zhiyuan's mentality.
Zhang Zhiyuan was very unhappy, but he couldn't take action.
It's too bad to exchange money with Pavlovich. If Pavlovich is beaten, I'm afraid Pavlovich will still snicker.
Zhang Zhiyuan was thinking about countermeasures and had an idea in his mind, but he couldn't implement it for the time being.
"Let me bear with you for now."
Zhang Zhiyuan sneered in his heart, he wanted to see how rampant this guy could be, which would determine the intensity of his revenge later.
Pavlovich was busy working on his mentality and did not participate in the attack.
The last goal was shot from mid-range by Gooden and failed to score.
The Rockets attack, Alston and Zhang Zhiyuan play pick-and-roll.
After the fight, the defender in front of Zhang Zhiyuan became Gibson.
Zhang Zhiyuan used his strength to crush him and drive all the way to the inside.
Upon seeing this, James ran to double-team, Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball, and Battier hit again.
8 to 4.
"Follow your own people."
James yelled at Pavlovich. If Pavlovich had followed Zhang Zhiyuan just now, he wouldn't have had to step forward to double-team.
Pavlovich did not dare to refute and silently followed his teammates.
Pavlovich stood outside the three-point line, and Zhang Zhiyuan could only follow him out.
Then Gooden also ran out of the penalty area, but Hayes did not dare to follow him, otherwise the inside line would be empty and James could drive straight in.
James saw this and passed the ball to Gooden, who hit a long two-pointer.
8 to 6.
Hayes had no choice but to do both.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan moved and Battier ran to block the ball, but the referee called a screen foul.
Shane was as aggrieved as Dou E, who almost fell to his knees and cried out for injustice.
His action just now was actually suspected of being a foul, but the problem is that the Cavaliers also did this kind of action, but the referee didn't call it. Battier thought that the standards of this game were relatively loose.
What I didn't expect was that this pine was only for the knights.
The ball possession was changed and the Rockets lost a valuable offensive opportunity.
"Referee *****, please collect the money."
"This referee should be shot."
"Dark, too dark, the league is trying to support James."
Rockets fans were filled with indignation and called out the darkness.
When the Cavaliers attack, the Rockets players are a little timid and can't let go, as if they are afraid of being called for a foul.
This defensive power was greatly reduced, and Gibson hit a three-pointer.
8 to 9, the Cavaliers took the lead.
The fans at the scene were in high spirits, as if they had already won the championship.
The Rockets counterattacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan reached out for the ball.
Relatively speaking, referees are more cautious with star players and do not dare to act too randomly and have too many eyes watching them.
Zhang Zhiyuan played against Pavlovich in isolation, and he faked and shot after continuous changes, and hit a three-pointer.
11 to 9.
The Cavaliers counterattacked, and James ran rampant again. After taking three steps with the basketball in his arms, he found that it was not his accustomed jumping posture, so his body couldn't help but take another step to adjust, and finally scored a layup in four steps.
"Walk, walk, he walked."
Others did not see clearly during the game, but Alston, who was far away, could count the numbers clearly and immediately responded to the referee.
But the referee did not change the decision, and Van Gundy became furious off the court, cursing and complaining.
He must make this gesture to let the referee know his dissatisfaction and make the referee restrain himself.
This approach really has some effect, and the referees are also afraid of too many disputes, which will make them appear unprofessional.
The referee restrained himself slightly.
After a few rounds, the Rockets took the lead again.
16 to 14.
James was a little anxious and once again carried the explosive bag to break through and score a layup.
He was risking his life and playing with no regard for physical strength.
It was only the first quarter and he was already sweating profusely.
Before the game, Mike Brown reminded him to treat this game as his last. Because if they lose this game, they will go to Houston to play away.
We can't win at home, and we can't win on the road.
On the surface it looks like they have two more chances, but in fact they only have this one chance.
Therefore, James had no reservations. Not only was he prepared to play the entire game, he also increased his personal offense.
James worked hard, and Shane also suffered.
At this time, Shane was not only tired, but also in pain.
Being nudged by James' elbow from time to time is really fatal.
Before James' speed even started to slow down, Battier was getting tired first.
James was not polite and took the opportunity to score two more goals.
In the end, Hayes could only leave Gooden behind and continue to help double-team.
James distributed the ball, but Gooden was not strong enough and made one of three shots. The efficiency was worrying.
In the ninth minute, the score was 21 to 24, and the Rockets were already 3 points behind.
What's even worse is that it's time for Yao Ming to rest.
Without his stable scoring point, the Rockets' offense will be more difficult.
Yao Ming and Hayes came off the court, replaced by Mutombo and Juwan Howard.
Juwan Howard's offense is better than Hayes, which can be regarded as an additional offensive point. Otherwise, the Cavaliers can give up interior defense and focus on double-teaming Zhang Zhiyuan.
But after Juwan Howard comes on the court, the Rockets' defense will be even worse.
There is nothing that can be done about it. If their lineup was perfect, there would be no need to play the game and they would just give the Rockets the trophy.
When the Rockets attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan did not ask for the ball after being double-teamed by two people because he had not used the props yet.
In this case, he cannot score stably.
Alston passed the ball to Juwan Howard, and Juwan Howard made a jump shot, but the ball missed.
The Cavaliers counterattacked, and James rushed inside and caused Juwan Howard to foul.
Fortunately, James' free throws were inconsistent and he only hit one.
21 to 25.
The Rockets attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan started running like crazy.
Pavlovich was careless and failed to catch up, while James was blocked by Battier.
This time, Battier stood firm early and didn't move, with his hands still closed. His actions were like saying to the referee, 'I didn't commit a foul, don't brag.'
The referee did not call the call, Zhang Zhiyuan received the pass and went inside.
After Yao Ming came off the court, the Cavaliers somewhat neglected their interior defense.
Zhang Zhiyuan charged in like this, and Varejao, who came on as a substitute, couldn't react.
Zhang Zhiyuan scored a layup.
23 to 25.
After clinching the score, Rockets fans breathed a sigh of relief.
But then James broke through again and Gibson hit a 3-pointer.
This knight's extraordinary force seems to be showing signs of breaking out again.
Alston looked annoyed, and the rest of the Rockets looked nervous and serious, but Zhang Zhiyuan still seemed to have an indifferent look on his face.
"Zhang is still so calm and so confident."
Smith said.
"This guy, I really want to see his expression after losing."
Buckley said sourly.
The game continues, the Rockets attack.
Zhang Zhiyuan's more active movement can disrupt the Cavaliers' defense even if he cannot find an offensive opportunity.
The Cavaliers' defense moved as Zhang Zhiyuan moved. Alston took the opportunity to break in on the weak side. Varejao covered the defense. Alston passed the ball and Mutombo received the ball and scored a layup.
Uncle Mu smiled happily. He was able to score points on a stage like the finals at the end of his career. For him, he had no regrets in his career.
The Cavaliers counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan pretended to defend Gibson, and induced James to pass the ball to Pavlovic.
After spotting James playing the ball, he immediately turned back, ran in front of Pavlovich, and launched a suffocating defense, denying him a chance to shoot, pass or dribble.
Pavlovich made a mistake and the basketball went out of bounds.
Pavlovich made an angry gesture of being violated, pushed Zhang Zhiyuan, and tried to seduce Zhang Zhiyuan to take action.
Without saying a word, Zhang Zhiyuan fell back and took three or four steps back on the floor.
For Zhang Zhiyuan, who aspires to enter the entertainment industry, he really doesn't boo any NBA player more than his acting skills.
Upon seeing this, the Rockets players immediately rushed to Pavlovic and asked for an explanation.
As soon as a conflict was about to break out, the referee quickly intervened.
Fortunately, this is the finals, so everyone is more restrained.
The scolding was followed by scolding, but no one took the initiative, which was quite the charm of a Chinese aunt.
The riot was over and the referee gave Pavlovich a foul.
There was no way, Zhang Zhiyuan's fall was too exaggerated. Even if Pavlovich was not given a foul, Zhang Zhiyuan's fall would not be worth it.
"I know what you are thinking. It's too childish. Is there a better way?"
As the game continued, Zhang Zhiyuan mocked Pavlovich.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Pavlovich felt guilty.
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and then made a free throw to chase another two points.
27 to 28.
Cavaliers fans were immediately extremely disappointed. They were still counting on expanding their lead without Yao Ming.
As a result, the advantage not only did not expand, but actually shrunk.
At this moment, Cavaliers fans couldn't help but blame Pavlovich.
If it weren't for this guy, the Cavaliers wouldn't have lost an offensive opportunity, let alone send Zhang Zhiyuan to the free throw line.
After a few rounds, the first quarter was over.
29 to 30, the Rockets were only 1 point behind.
Fans of both teams are anxious. Cavaliers fans feel that being 1 point ahead is not an advantage, while Rockets fans feel that falling behind is dangerous.
In the second quarter, Yao Ming came on the bench with a substitute, and Zhang Zhiyuan chose to rest for a while.
Different from the last game, Zhang Zhiyuan ran a lot today and consumed a lot of energy.
Yao Ming was a bit unlucky. As soon as he came on the court, he happened to encounter the Cavaliers' substitute.
Marshall and Jones scored one after another, and the point difference widened.
Yao Ming was very anxious, partly because of his backwardness, and partly because of the pressure of public opinion.
There is an argument in the media that he only has good statistics, but cannot lead the team to win, which is almost as if he is a data brush.
No player would like this kind of evaluation, and the same goes for Yao Ming.
It's so good that the current situation on the court has confirmed the media's statement, which is really annoying.
A somewhat anxious Yao Ming reached for the ball under the basket, hoping to seize the score.
As a result, Varejao made a flop and Yao Ming was called for a foul.
Yao Ming rarely got angry at the referee, roaring that he had not committed a foul.
Fortunately, his teammates held him back, otherwise he might have been blown away.
"Even Yao Ming is angry. Today's referee went too far."
Sun Zhengping said with emotion.
It's really rare to see Yao Ming angry.
"Damn it, this is obviously because the league doesn't want us Chinese to win the championship."
"There is no way, the two core members of the Rockets are Chinese, and Stern definitely doesn't want the Rockets to win the championship."
"If you don't want to play in this league anymore, you might as well come back and play in the CBA. Why bother with that nonsense?"
Chinese fans were filled with indignation, and some even came up with various conspiracy theories.
They were even angrier than the parties involved, but Zhang Zhiyuan himself was more tolerant.
After all, he more or less enjoyed the home whistle in Houston in the last game.
Yao Ming lost his temper at that time, and then quickly recovered and played calmly.
As the Cavaliers players' touch declined, the Rockets stabilized the situation until Zhang Zhiyuan came on the court.
The Rockets were only 5 points behind when Zhang Zhiyuan came on the court, which wasn't too bad.
Rockets fans are all looking forward to Zhang Zhiyuan blowing the clarion call for counterattack, but without the use of props and being focused on, it is difficult for Zhang Zhiyuan to perform well.
Zhang Zhiyuan holds the ball, Pavlovich and James double-team, Zhang Zhiyuan can only distribute the ball.
The ball went to Battier, and Gooden's defense arrived again.
And James filled Gooden's original position and filled the Cavaliers' loopholes.
Battier's passing is still a bit poor. If he can pass it back to Zhang Zhiyuan, he can toss James again.
However, Pavlovich stood in front of Zhang Zhiyuan, and Battier did not dare to pass it easily, so he could only pass it to Alston.
When the ball came to Alston, there was not much time to attack.
Alston chose to shoot the ball himself, but the ball missed.
Back on the defensive end, Zhang Zhiyuan was still being harassed by Pavlovic's little moves.
Obviously, this guy didn't give up.
"I'm warning you for the last time, don't mess with me."
Zhang Zhiyuan pointed at Pavlovich with his finger. He was really angry this time.
Even if it is for the championship, he does not want to wrong himself.
"Come on, you weakling, you're just talking but not practicing."
Pavlovich shouted.
"You're done."
Zhang Zhiyuan.
Fortunately, Battier hugged Zhang Zhiyuan, otherwise Zhang Zhiyuan would be really embarrassed now, and he might even be labeled a softie.
"Oh, calm down, Xiao Zhang. You'll be fooled if you make a move. Your opponent is obviously expecting you to make a move."
Zhang Lili was worried.
"This Cavaliers team is so ungraceful, playing such little tricks."
Sun Zhengping complained.
As the game continues, Rockets fans still hope that Zhang Zhiyuan can turn the tide.
As a result, Zhang Zhiyuan also disappointed them.
The Rockets did not take advantage. By the end of the first half, the Rockets were already 7 points behind.
54 to 61.
It's not difficult to catch up to this point difference, but it still feels quite dangerous.
Rockets fans are anxious, but they can only be anxious.
In the Rockets locker room, everyone was a little excited, complaining and cursing the Cavaliers for being dirty.
Zhang Zhiyuan called Hayes over and asked in a low voice: "Chuck, do you want to sign a big contract?"
"Of course, but it's useless for me to just think about it."
Hayes sighed.
Although the team reached the finals, the media never mentioned his contribution.
And he didn't complain at all.
Averaged 3.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. How does this look like the data of a starting power forward?
He has not been criticized by the media like Juwan Howard. He has laughed at it many times.
Hayes has very little confidence in himself. He is not sure whether he will get another contract, let alone a big contract.
"If you can do something for me, I can help you get a mini-middle class salary of about 10 million in four years."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
This is a small thing for him, and it is impossible for a team that wants to get him not to agree to such a small condition.
What's more, Hayes is worth the price. He is also the starting power forward of the championship team. His annual salary of 2.5 million is not too cheap.
"Really, can you convince Darrell? What can I do to help you?"
Hayes said excitedly.
He can't see his future, so he is very, very satisfied with 10 million in four years. You must know that his current annual salary is only 660,000.
"It doesn't have to be Darrell, I will leave next season and take you to a new team. As long as you have a conflict with Pavlovich on the court later, and then beat him up hard, the harder it is.
The better. Don’t worry, I will reimburse you for all your losses.”
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
If you don't want to swallow your anger and can't do it yourself, you must have a guard with a knife.
Jordan had Rodman with him, and he also had to have Hayes with him.
"I did it."
Hayes gritted his teeth and said.
Although they didn't get along for a particularly long time, Hayes still had great faith in Zhang Zhiyuan's character.
In order to become a multi-millionaire, he is ready to take a gamble.
If you win the bet, you will have a big partner in the future.
The benefits of this are far more than 10 million.
"As expected of the person I like, he has vision. Don't worry, your benefits will be indispensable in the future."
Zhang Zhiyuan said with a smile, and Hayes also laughed when he heard this.
This puzzled the rest of the Rockets. They didn't understand why those two guys could still laugh when the team was clearly lagging behind.
And the way the two grown men were whispering together made it hard not to think twice.
After they finished chatting, Alston quietly asked Hayes what he had just talked about with Zhang Zhiyuan.
Hayes laughed: "I'm going to get rich."
Alston's eyes widened. He never expected that Hayes, a tough guy who usually seemed quite fierce, would actually accept being kept.
During the halftime break, commentators from all major TV stations were talking about the first half of the game.
ESPN did not mention a word about the referee's penalty scale, but kept praising the Cavaliers for playing well and praising James for playing well.
The Cavaliers are currently in the lead, and James' statistics are also good. It's really hard for others to refute them.
TNT didn't talk too much about the penalty scale. This is a sensitive topic.
Smith and Barkley talked more about whether the Rockets could take the lead in the second half.
"He can definitely overtake. You can tell by looking at the expression on Zhang's face. Was he ever anxious when he fell behind? Was he ever nervous? It's obvious that everything is under his control."
Smith analyzed.
"Zhang scored 12 points in the first half. Although it is not too few, it is by no means the limit of his ability. As long as he breaks out a little bit, the Cavaliers will not be able to withstand it."
Buckley said.
"Come on, win this game and it will be easier to play when we return to the home court."
Zhang Lili.
"I believe the Rockets will definitely win. Although Zhang Zhiyuan is crazy, he has never let the fans down."
Sun Zhengping.
Amid the expectations of countless people, the second half officially started.
Both teams are in the starting lineup.
Before the game started, James even said rubbish to Zhang Zhiyuan: "Brother, it doesn't matter if you lose. You can come to the Cavaliers next season and I will help you win the championship."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and replied: "Unless you find a few superstars to team up with you, you can't win the championship. Of course, there may be no chance of joining a team."
James shrugged, assuming that Zhang Zhiyuan was talking rubbish.
When the game started, James burst out with a strong desire to win.
He has obviously played the entire first half, but he is still running like flying, running rampant and unreasonable.
Battier played harder than in the first half.
Hayes was so focused on playing against Pavlovich that he forgot to help Battier on defense.
James hit one after another, but fortunately Yao Ming was strong and bullied Ilgauskas continuously under the basket.
"As expected of being the first overall pick, his strength is to crush others."
Smith sighed.
"Is the alliance going to be ruled by the new generation?"
Buckley said.
A top pick in the 2002 class and a top pick in the 2003 class are both representatives of the new generation.
And people like Iverson, Marbury, and Carter are getting older.
Both teams have No. 1 picks, but the Cavaliers don't have any undrafted players.
Zhang Zhiyuan first made a breakthrough to score 21, and then made a three-pointer that caused the opponent to foul. He made two of three free throws and scored five points in a row.
No one on the Cavaliers side stood up to fight against them, so they could only rely on the strength of the team.
Gooden hit a mid-range shot to stop the bleeding.
After several rounds, the point difference between the two teams was reduced to 4 points.
The Cavaliers players were worried, and Pavlovic once again increased the intensity of harassment.
Then, he saw Zhang Zhiyuan's sneer.
Pavlovich felt a little baffled and didn't take it to heart.
In the next round, the Rockets attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan reached for the ball, and then called Hayes for a pick-and-roll.
"Does he and Chuck have a strong pick-and-roll?"
Barkley complained.
With Hayes's little shooting ability, his opponents could ignore him and just take care of Zhang Zhiyuan.
On the court, Hayes helped Zhang Zhiyuan block Pavlovich. When blocking, he stretched out his legs to trip Pavlovich, and he also fell down and fell on top of Pavlovich.
At the same time, he spat in Pavlovich's face.
Pavlovich suddenly became angry.
It's just a foul if you play tricks on yourself, but if you get an advantage, you don't stop and spit on yourself to provoke you.
Are there still referees? Are there still rules?
Even Zhang Zhiyuan of your team has to endure me, who do you think you are?
Pavlovich directly punched Hayes in the head, but he was pinned down and his arms were not easy to exert force, so the punch had no power.
Pavlovich made a move first, but Hayes became rude and suddenly acted as if he had a blood feud with Pavlovich. He raised his fist and hit Pavlovich on the head.
He was riding on Pavlovich and pumping his fists as hard as he wanted.
"Oh, Shet, there's a fight, and Chuck is going berserk Pavlovich."
Buckley exclaimed.
"Oh, Fake, stop him quickly, or someone will die."
Smith exclaimed.
He didn't need to remind him, as soon as the players on the court saw this situation, they immediately went over to break up the fight.
Alston, Yao Ming and others really wanted to break up the fight. Gooden, James and others wanted to save their teammates.
Zhang Zhiyuan hugged Gibson, who was trying to hold Hayes back, and shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight again."
Fortunately, Zhang Zhiyuan could only hold one person, and he could not stop other referees and staff.
Then the staff pulled Hayes up, and Pavlovich was already unconscious on the ground, with blood on his face.
"Oh my God, I really didn't expect Chuck Hayes to have such fighting ability. I can't see it at all."
Seeing Pavlovich's miserable condition, Smith was amazed.
Barkley smiled and said: "Don't mess with the 1.98-meter power forward. This is very dangerous. Shacklebolt knows it well."
He himself is also 1.98 meters tall and is also a power forward. He has knocked down O'Neal before.
This guy puts money on his face whenever he gets the chance.
"What happened? Did Chuck and Pavlovich have any deep hatred? Why did they attack so harshly?"
ESPN's commentary was greatly confused. This conflict was too sudden and there were no signs at all.
If Zhang Zhiyuan did this, it would be easier for everyone to understand.
"This...I don't know either."
Another guest said helplessly.
"Huh, this Hayes is really vicious."
Sun Zhengping exclaimed.
Fights on the court are not uncommon, but not many are so violent.
The melee at Auburn Palace only looked chaotic, but in fact no one was seriously injured.
"Well done, beat this bitch to death."
"If a tiger doesn't show off its power, it's like a rocket. It's hello kitty."
"Brother Zhang is so interesting. Is he trying to stop a fight?"
The fans were happy to hear it and cheered.
They had already noticed that Pavlovich was unhappy, so it was a great relief to have someone come forward to treat him.
On the court, the chaos is over.
Hayes was expelled on the spot without any doubt, and when he left, fans at the scene threw popcorn, mineral water bottles, smelly socks, and breast glasses...
Hayes looked indifferent.
You can earn 10 million just by being thrown some debris. Many people who want to be hit don't have this opportunity.
Hayes was expelled, and Pavlovich could no longer fight. He lost three teeth, had bleeding from the corner of his eye, bleeding from his forehead, a broken nose, and a split lip that required stitches.
Given the severity of his injuries, even doctors wouldn’t believe him if he said he wasn’t beaten by a group.
Except for the two of them, no one else was punished.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan hugged Ilgauskas, no one could provide evidence to prove that he was being biased.
Hayes will definitely be fined heavily, but that's for another time.
The game continues.
The Rockets played Juwan Howard, and on the Cavaliers' side, Mike Brown asked Larry Hughes to play, but Larry Hughes didn't show any respect at all and refused to play, which almost made Mike Brown angry to death on the spot.
Larry Hughes also went all out, preferring to be stigmatized to express his displeasure.
The Cavaliers were embarrassed just now when a player was beaten, and then they made a joke again when the player refused to play.
The fans exclaimed that they never expected that so many things would happen in the game.
In desperation, Mike Brown was replaced by Damon Jones.
When the game resumed, James attacked the Rockets' inside line with grief and anger.
He somewhat suspected that Zhang Zhiyuan was behind all of this, but unfortunately he had no evidence.
"It's impossible for me not to be a champion."
James swore secretly in his heart.
In grief and anger, he actually burst out with stronger fighting power and desire to fight, scoring consecutively.
This made Cavaliers fans cheer like a tsunami.
If sacrificing a Pavlovich can awaken the full strength of Zhan, they think it is worth it.
"Damn it, is there such a thing?"
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he did not expect such an accident.
However, it's not a big deal.
Zhang Zhiyuan continued to play at his own pace, scoring points steadily and holding on to the score.
As long as he doesn't fall too far behind, he will have the confidence to overtake in the last quarter.
With 2 minutes left in the third quarter, the score was 75-84, and the Rockets trailed by 9 points.
"Oh, why does this knight keep getting braver every time he fights?"
Zhang Lili said anxiously.
"It's dangerous, Xiao Zhang and Dayao come forward quickly."
Sun Zhengping.
With 1 minute left, the score was 77 to 87, and the point difference expanded by 1 point, reaching double digits.
"The Cavaliers will definitely win. The Rockets are self-defeating and only stimulate the Cavaliers' fighting spirit."
espn.
"There's something wrong. Isn't Zhang still using his strength?"
Smith.
"Maybe there's nothing he can do, who knows,"
Buckley.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the third quarter ended.
78 to 89, the Rockets trailed by 11 points.
Being 11 points behind is not a desperate situation, but chasing 11 points is definitely not easy. Especially James is in great form, having scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the three quarters.
If you play the whole game, you might even get 50.
This is the finals.
If the Cavaliers win this game, James will really want to fight to become a god.
Trailing by 11 points, the Rockets players also showed some anxiety on their faces.
During the timeout, Zhang Zhiyuan said: "Don't panic, it's just 11 points. I'll work harder later."
These words immediately gave everyone a sense of reassurance, because as long as Zhang Zhiyuan said this, the game would be stable and there would be no accidents.
Alston was even in the mood to joke: "What a blessing, you are just happy because you have the opportunity to shine."
Everyone laughed, but the commentators and fans were confused.
They really don't understand what's so funny about being 11 points behind. Could it be Pavlovich's miserable state?
Okay, that's really funny.
On the Cavaliers side, James is also boosting morale.
"In the last 12 minutes, hold on, hold on. We just need to survive the last 12 minutes. We can create history and bring the Cavaliers their first championship. We will win."
"Must win."
Everyone echoed excitedly.
No one can help but be excited to win the championship.
Except for Larry Hughes, no one cares about him now.
"Rocket, let's get some energy."
Larry Hughes prayed silently.
The timeout between quarters was short, and the fans were still recalling the conflict and game just now, and the last quarter suddenly started.
Zhang Zhiyuan was no longer stingy and directly used the King of the End.
[King of the last quarter, S level, only available in the fourth quarter, after use, shooting stability is 10%, shooting rate is 10%, steal success rate is 20%, physical recovery is 30%. 】
The Rockets attacked first, and Zhang Zhiyuan made a decisive three-pointer from far away.
He already has a high shooting percentage in this position, and with the 10% bonus, as long as there is no defender, he can make no loss no matter how many times he takes the shot.
The ball didn't go in, but Zhang Zhiyuan didn't panic at all.
When the Cavaliers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan actively assisted in defense and defended the Cavaliers for one round.
The Rockets continued to attack, and Zhang Zhiyuan took another shot two or three steps away from the three-point line, which stunned Jones. He had never seen such a play before.
"Is he prepared to continue gambling like this?"
Buckley asked.
"I haven't counted it, but my impression is that his shooting percentage at this position is actually quite high, and he has made many shots."
Smith said.
Before he finished speaking, the ball was scored and the three-pointer was obtained.
81 to 89.
The Cavaliers attack and James breaks through.
Zhang Zhiyuan ran over to double-team him and reached out to steal the ball.
Stealing is not easy under normal circumstances, but now he has item bonuses.
Suddenly, James found that the ball in his hand was gone.
Zhang Zhiyuan has already taken the basketball and ran towards the Cavaliers half court, and Jones is chasing him.
He is still trying, but it is too difficult.
Zhang Zhiyuan rushed to the basket and took off for a dunk. This was almost a must-goal, and Jones could only pull it down.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't rush aggressively and protected himself well when he landed.
Stepping to the free throw line, Zhang Zhiyuan made two free throws, with the same effect.
83 to 89.
In the blink of an eye, the Rockets were chasing 5 points.
"11 points is nothing in front of Zhang who is in hot form."
Smith sighed.
"So, do we have to sentence the knight to death first?"
Buckley laughed.
James disagreed. He demanded the ball angrily, then drove across half court, broke through for a layup, and scored two points.
After scoring, James hammered his chest hard and roared, declaring his determination and being very domineering.
Correspondingly, Zhang Zhiyuan shouted to his teammates in a very obscene manner: "Serve quickly, serve quickly."
He wanted to launch a sneak attack while James was celebrating.
Juwan Howard served quickly, Alston made a transition, and then passed to Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan has passed halftime, but the Cavaliers did not ignore him, and Jones followed him closely.
"You're the only one guarding me. You're looking down upon me."
Zhang Zhiyuan complained, then jumped up and took action.
Not to mention whether a Jones can interfere with his shooting, even if it can, the 10% stability bonus can offset this effect.
The ball was scored and the three points were obtained.
86 to 91.
"I declare that death has arrived."
Smith said.
"Then it's time for Zhang's performance. Sit tight and hold yourself steady."
