The Godfather of Basketball

The Cavaliers continued to catch Durant, Paul's breakthrough, Artest's singles, and even Carter, who came off the bench, rushed in with a pack of explosives. It didn't care about anything, and it just went straight to his face. .

Harden was forced to come over to help defense from time to time, which was physically exhausting. On the offensive end, Green's stalking cut off the connection between him and his teammates, and his performance was also a bit lost.

After one quarter of the game, the score between the two sides was 32 to 17, and the Cavaliers still led by 15 points.

Brooks' adjustment did not allow the Thunder to take advantage of anything.

What's worse is that after putting Harden in the starting lineup, the Thunder's bench lost its organization and scoring points (Jamison is not in good shape, Fisher is here to hug his thigh, Cook is just a three-point shooter , Collison and Muhammad are just regular role players).

And Carter had no one to match the top position. After a wave of climax, Brooks could only let Harden, who had rested for less than two minutes, take the lead.

As a result, it is conceivable that Harden, who had already consumed a lot of physical strength, became even more confused after playing.

In the end, the battle of Tianwangshan was not as fierce as imagined. After only three quarters, the point difference came to 25 points.

101 to 81, the Cavaliers finally beat the Thunder by 20 points at home. After falling behind 0 to 2, they pulled 3 consecutive rounds and led by a big score of 3 to 2.

Yao Ming had 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Paul had 18 points, 11 assists and 4 steals. Green hit 4 three-pointers and scored 12 points and 3 rebounds. Artest and Butler each scored 9 points.

Carter Sr. continued to be in a hot state, scoring a game-high 25 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks on 11 of 16 shots.

As for the Thunder, Durant had 25 points and 7 rebounds, Westbrook had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but there were as many as 8 turnovers. Harden played the most, making 2 of 13 shots and scoring 6. Points, 3 assists and 3 turnovers.

With a score of 3 to 2, the series also came to the Cavaliers' match point.

They are really close to the dynasty.

And this score finally made the media turn their backs.

The people who were the most vocal about the Thunder championship before, now they started to praise Tang Tian and the Cavaliers again after the Thunder team was overwhelmed.

However, after experiencing the desperate situation of 0 to 2, the Cavaliers, whether it is the coaching staff or the players, have maintained a relatively calm state of mind.

"We did nothing."

Just as Tang Tian emphasized to the players, before the championship is really won, everything is still variable.

After the end of the three games in Cleveland, the two sides will return to Oklahoma to start the sixth game of the series.

Winning the championship, or a tie-break, at this moment, the heat of the finals has reached another peak since the start of the game.

In TNT's studio, Barkley, Smith, O'Neill, and special guest Olajuwon had a "passionate" discussion on the spot.

"Guys! Now it's really the most exciting time, 3 to 2, the Cavaliers played a wave of 3 consecutive victories when they were behind 0 to 2, and then they got the match point. What will be the direction?" Barkley throws a brick to attract jade.

"I think the Cavaliers are going to win the championship. They have rubbed the Thunder on the ground for 3 consecutive games, and have you noticed that the Thunder trailed the Spurs 0-2 in the Western Conference Finals, and then swept 4-0 to advance. , Now they lead their opponents 2-0, but they will be 'swept' by the Cavaliers 4-0, what is this called?" Smith is still a loyal fan of Tang Tian.

"Sooner or later you will have to pay back when you come out to play?" Barkley took the words.

Immediately, there were unrestrained laughter from a few big fat people in the studio.

"Hey, Shaq, what's your point?" After laughing, Barkley looked at O'Neal.

"Yes, the Cavaliers are gaining momentum, but I think the Thunder will play something different when they return to the home court. Maybe Westbrook will break through more resolutely, or Durant will start the death mode, or Harden It's going to be that X factor, anyway, I don't think Game 6 will be the end." O'Neal and Smith had different views.

"If the Thunder win, then it's the most exciting tiebreaker of the finals?" Barkley never thinks it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

"Yes, I believe those TV stations will explode. If it reaches the tiebreaker, it will really catch up with the Super Bowl." Smith nodded in agreement.

"Hey, Hakim, what do you think?" The three hosts chatted for a while, and then Barkley looked at their special guest.

"Yes, Hakeem, do you think there will be a tiebreaker?" O'Neill turned his head as he spoke, with a trace of respect unconsciously in his eyes.

There are almost no insiders in this league that convince O'Neal, and Olajuwon may be the only one.

Although it was not the first time to participate in the program, but seeing the three commentators all looking at him, he still straightened his back with a more serious expression.

"I don't think the game will go to a tie-break."

"Why?" Barkley asked first.

"Because of Don."

Olajuwon's answer made all three of them laugh at the same time.

The final decision of the round of the finals will be decided by a head coach. At first glance, this is quite a nonsense thing, but at this moment they laughed with a sympathetic heart, because the name of the head coach is Tang Tian.

"When Tang was still in the Rockets, I met him several times. He is a very young man with vision, judgment and execution. To be honest, I was very curious about how Dawson Find a guy like this.

When I came to the Cavaliers, he came to Houston to find me and asked me to teach LeBron back-up skills, and he paid for himself as a coach. I knew he was really a perfect coach.

Then look at the series after the Cavaliers lost LeBron. The people are still the same group, but the tactics are constantly changing, and that change is precisely the most targeted and effective. Sometimes you feel , God, how did he think of it!

Then after more times, you will get used to it. He can always do those seemingly incredible things, so in the current situation, Don will not let the Thunder drag the game into the tiebreaker. "

Olajuwon spoke for a long time, and Barkley and the others nodded unconsciously after listening.

Barkley and Smith made many bets because of Tang Tian, ​​but every time the person who beat Tang Tian won, and O'Neal even went through the season that was so bad that he was able to win the championship. They knew that what Olajuwon said was true. It's the truth.

"So, the Cavaliers championship?" Barkley said skinny after Olajuwon finished speaking.

"Well, the Cavaliers Championship."

"Knight Championship."
