"LeBron, his breakthrough, double attack, direct shot... Oh no, it's iron again!"
Kenny Smith, who was behind the commentary box, held his head: "What is he doing? Why is he shooting against a double attack? This is so unreasonable!"
"LeBron James suddenly became a war criminal who ruined a game. He kept playing in isolation and forced shots. Almost every shot he took was too unreasonable."
"China Lin seems to be doing a switchback run, and Mike Brown's substitution has become completely useless. Now, the Cavaliers are in danger."
The Cavaliers were indeed in danger. When Mike Brown hesitated, James struck again, and then the Spurs suddenly counterattacked.
Manu Ginobili caught the ball and rushed forward, and Lin Yu rushed to follow him, but Ginobili passed the ball to Tony Parker, and the two directly played Lin Yu's single defense.
Then, Parker passed Andre Miller in one stride and succeeded in a layup. At 81:86, the Spurs' lead reached 5 points.
There was silence in the ESPN commentary box because the game was on the verge of collapse.
The commentary from Central Five, Director Zhang and Yu Jia did not pay attention to the score, but directly pointed the finger at James.
"The Spurs counterattacked, the Cavaliers retreated, James was walking, why didn't he retreat?"
On the court, Mike Brown called a timeout. After a short pause, Lin Yu slowly walked to the sidelines. He raised his head and noticed the replay of the previous wave.
James takes a walk!
But Lin Yu was not surprised. Being familiar with James, he knew that taking a walk would be a regular operation for James when he is at a disadvantage.
After a timeout, Mike Brown couldn't accept that in this game, Lin Yu and James were not considered explosive, they were just qualified personal performances.
Under this circumstance, the Cavaliers still fought the Spurs to the final stage. They were only one step away from winning the battle at Tianwang Mountain.
Mike Brown is naturally anxious. He doesn't want the team to lose the game because of James' undercover performance.
But a short pause didn't give him enough time to explain all the issues. He could only simply emphasize: "Give Lin the ball, let him play in singles first, and after opening the situation, Zhan Lin picks and rolls!"
Zhan Lin pick-and-roll, Mike Brown now proposes this play, and Lin Yu will give him a thumbs up. Today Lin Yu has a singles game, and the effect of Zhan Lin's pick-and-roll will be very outstanding.
James nodded with a dark face. On the sidelines, the referee was already urging the five players from both teams to reappear.
There was a buzzing sound, the timer buzzed, the short pause ended, the two teams reappeared, the Cavaliers served from the sideline, and Lin Yu directly received the ball.
He controlled the ball to the top of the arc, his teammates pulled away, and only Big Z rushed up to provide a screen.
After setting the screen, Lin Yu took two steps forward and made a pull-up jump shot. With a bang, the ball went in!
With such an unpretentious set of breakthrough jumpers, Lin Yu easily scored 2 points, 83:86, and the score gap was close to 3 points.
In the ESPN commentary box, Charles Barkley boasted: "When the Cavaliers needed to score the most, it was China Lin who stepped forward and helped the Cavaliers break their scoring drought!"
In the commentary box of Central Five, Director Zhang and Yu Jia continued to criticize James: "Wouldn't it be over if we gave the ball to Dayu earlier? James in this game is too criminal!"
The Spurs' offense and the Cavaliers' defense. Ginobili broke through first and was blocked by Lin Yu. Then he passed the ball and it was Parker who broke through.
Daniel Gibson's defense was still a little weak, and Parker easily highlighted a space for his shot, and he shot directly.
Immediately, a figure flashed beside him.
With a snap, Lin Yu's big hand pressed heavily on the basketball held high by Parker and pressed it down directly.
The Quicken Loans Center has completely erupted, and the cheers are almost going to lift the ceiling.
Lin Yu roared as he landed. Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith behind the commentary box were already cheering: "It's incredible, China Lin, he just blocked Manu Ginobili's breakthrough. The next second,
He suddenly appeared in front of Tony Parker and blocked Tony Parker's mid-range shot."
"China Lin played amazing defense in this game, he was everywhere!"
Then, Kenny Smith shouted excitedly: "70% of the earth's surface is covered by water, and the remaining 30% is covered by the Chinese forest in this game!"
One block blocked the Spurs' attack. Although the Spurs still had the ball, their attack time was no longer enough.
After three seconds of offense, after the ball was re-opened, Ginobili hit a three-pointer from the outside and successfully hit the ball.
The Cavaliers grabbed the rebound and did not advance quickly.
Because the Spurs had already retreated to the backcourt after taking the ball, the Cavaliers had no chance to counterattack quickly.
In a positional battle, the Spurs have a great chance.
But Lin Yu caught the ball again, another single, and succeeded with a throw after passing the screen.
"It's another crucial single. China's Lin is already going berserk. Now, Mike Brown should stand on the sidelines and roar: Give Lin the damn ball!"
85:86, one point difference, Popovich immediately adjusted his defense.
He didn't call a timeout, he just stood on the sidelines and made a gesture. Tony Parker responded with an OK gesture, and the adjustment was over.
The Spurs' offense and Duncan's strong inside attack helped the Spurs score 2 key points.
Subsequently, when the Cavaliers attacked, Lin Yu once again played alone, but the Spurs used the defense against LeBron James, with one man marking and multiple people assisting him.
Lin Yu simply summoned James. James did not violate Mike Brown's request. He raised the top of the arc and gave Lin Yu a pick-and-roll.
After blocking and breaking up, all the Spurs' defense concentrated on Lin Yu's side.
Lin Yu passed the ball to James. James broke through and rushed to the inside, unstoppably scoring 2 points.
Just like that, the score gap was sealed.
With a one-point difference, the Cavaliers had a good chance, and the Spurs also had a good chance, but until the last minute of the game, the Spurs and Cavaliers still couldn't decide the winner.
#
"The game entered the last minute, 57 seconds to be exact, and the Cleveland Cavaliers led by 1 point, but the ball belonged to the Spurs."
Tony Parker slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Lin Yu spread his long arms and directly switched to defend in front of Parker.
At the critical moment, the Cavaliers also adjusted their defense. James defended Ginobili, Lin Yu defended Parker, and the two stars faced the Spurs' outside stars. The one-on-one defense suddenly changed.
It has to be very targeted.
Tony Parker's breakthrough had no chance.
The ball was given to Ginobili again, but there was no chance. The Spurs' slow attack consumed a full 19 seconds. Finally, Ginobili forced a shot from the mid-range, and with a bang, it hit the frame!
Anderson Varejao under the basket grabbed the rebound, and the Spurs counterattacked on the spot. Mike Brown decisively called a timeout.
Amid cheers at Quicken Loans Center, Charles Barkley announced: "In the last 39 seconds, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by one point and got the ball!"
