Thanks to Irving's efforts, the Trail Blazers only led the Cavaliers by 4 points after the third quarter.

Let's put it this way, the Cavaliers were simply led by Irving in the third quarter.

In the original history, Irving performed extremely well in the 2016 Finals.

Although it was a bit lagging in the first few games, overall it was pretty good.

Nowadays, Irving seems to have inherited his original state.

Well, it was not just Irving who led the Cavaliers in the third quarter, but also J.R.

but......

J.R. was forced to fly!

He didn't know when he would suddenly receive the basketball.

After three quarters, the two sides are about to face a decisive battle in the fourth quarter.

Although James was replaced in the last minute and a half of the third quarter, he is still panting and sweating profusely.

Wayne is also very tired, but from a superficial perspective, he is more relaxed than James.

James was sitting on the bench, and Coach Lue was yelling at the chosen one.

No, to be precise, it was yelling.

"LeBron, you have to play better. If we want to win, you have to play better!"

Director Lu's roar made Rihanna feel heartbroken.

Why do you call me a male idol?

James was also a little confused: "What on earth are you talking about? What on earth do you want to say?"

"You have to play better!" Coach Lu roared, "I want you to guard Wayne, I want you to hit those open shots, I want you to be more aggressive and end the game!"

Obviously, Coach Lu was a little dissatisfied with Lao Zhan's paddling style in the third quarter.

If James had continued to work hard in the third quarter, coupled with Irving's good form, the Cavaliers would have already established an advantage.

The entire Cavaliers team did not dare to speak. After all, this was the first time they had seen a coach dare to yell at James like this.

James wanted to retort, saying that he had worked very hard and was preparing for the decisive battle.

But he can understand Tyronn Lue. At least this coach really wants the team to retain the championship title.

So, facing Coach Lu's yelling, James just nodded slightly.

He also knows that he must unleash all his strength in the fourth quarter to preserve the victory.

On the other side, Carlisle asked Wayne to continue to consume James.

He doesn't think Irving can maintain his previous magical state in the fourth quarter. As long as James can't open up this point, the Trail Blazers can end the game in one go.

The air at the scene seemed to have become thinner, and fans all over the world knew what would happen if the total score became 3-0.

Although a 1-3 reversal is difficult, it is not without precedent.

But if you are beaten 3-0, it is basically equivalent to losing the series early.

James and Irving are also full of mission. In the last quarter, this is their only hope to keep the championship in Kremlin.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Curry took the lead and hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, opening the point difference to 7 points in one breath.

On the next attack, James finally hit the basket head-on under Wayne's defense.

This time, James played particularly tough. He paddled for so long in the third quarter just to last longer in the fourth quarter.

Unfortunately, Wayne's strong blocking caused James to miss the layup.

In the third quarter of the game, James did not dare to waste energy, so his scoring performance was not explosive enough.

But he seems to have made a mistake - even if he is willing to fight with all his strength, he will not be able to defeat Wayne for sure!

As soon as Wayne came up, he gave Lao Zhan a slap in the head.

However, just when Wayne thought his defense was absolutely stable this time, TT jumped up before everyone else and made a two-handed dunk!

The Cavaliers successfully narrowed the point difference!

In the fourth quarter, the knight's mental attributes have been maximized.

If they took one step back, they would fall into the abyss and die.

Although it is possible to catch a branch during the fall, this only delays death.

Therefore, the Cavaliers cannot take another step back in the fourth quarter.

However, at this critical moment when the Cavaliers desperately need to perform, James has not been able to produce the expected results on the offensive end.

The old man took more shots in the fourth quarter, but the number of goals did not increase.

At first, James was still trying to hit the basket, but failed repeatedly.

Later, I simply changed to mid- and long-range jump shots.

It can be affected by physical fitness, and the hit rate is also worrying.

Wayne's plan to suck James dry was a huge success!

In the fourth quarter, no matter how much Lao Zhan exploded or how hard he worked, he could not reach the level of James at full strength.

In fact, the fact that the Cavaliers were able to tie with the Trail Blazers in the first half was the result of James reaching his limit.

To put it bluntly, Lao Zhan can only guarantee a tie between the Cavaliers and Trail Blazers if he tries his best.

It's a pity that after Curry's three-pointer at the beginning, the feeling in the fourth quarter was not very good.

After all, the confrontation the Cavaliers faced against him today was too fierce, and it is not easy to maintain his touch even after playing so far.

In addition, the Xuxue people were still strong in the fourth quarter, and it can be said that they took most of the Cavaliers' scoring in the fourth quarter.

Contrary to James, Irving's performance on the offensive end today was phenomenal.

Thanks to the Cavaliers' tough defense and Irving's excellent offense, the Cavaliers still clung to the score.

But they could only hold on tight, as they were never able to climb over the mountain of Wayne.

Just like before, every time the Cavaliers saw hope, Wayne would step up and score a goal to make the Cavaliers fall into despair again.

He is stable, cold-blooded, and ruthless, and does not let Kacun fans see any sunshine.

In this way, until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers were still 5 points behind the Trail Blazers, and Wayne had already scored his 41st point of the day.

Fortunately, this time after Wayne scored 41 points, the game was still in suspense.

And this is enough to illustrate the toughness of the Cavaliers today.

Everyone in Cleveland clasped their hands nervously, and Irving once again broke through Tony and penetrated inside.

This time, Wayne had to let go of James and go straight to Irving.

Irving has scored 38 points so far. If he scores this goal, it will be 40 points in a single game!

That's right, Irving's score today was on par with Wayne's!

Faced with Big Johnson's defensive defense, the Noushu people did not force the breakthrough, but chose to throw the ball.

But just when he was about to take action, a big hand stretched out from the side and interfered with Owen for the second time.

It's Wayne!

If the Trail Blazers were still playing the Warriors now, they would be facing Paul.

Then Paul will definitely be able to find the person Wayne missed.

But at this time, Irving was not the kind of defender with particularly good passing vision.

He knew that James was missed, but he couldn't pass the ball in such a situation, let alone find James' position.

Therefore, under the double interference of Wayne and McGee, Irving's throw deviated from the target, and the Cavaliers missed a key attack!

Wayne did not relax after completing the interference, but went straight to the basket and jumped hard, grabbing the rebound before TT.

In the fourth quarter, TT has repeatedly helped the Cavaliers get second offensive opportunities.

At this moment, losing a rebound can kill someone.

After Wayne grabbed the rebound, he threw the ball to Jie Bao, who was already rushing forward.

It’s decided that it’s you, the most durable man in the team!

Seeing Wayne's long pass to Butler, the hearts of Cavaliers fans froze.

Because at this time, only J.R. retreated. The Cavaliers players were too slow to catch up with this fast break.

Jiebao did not attack the basket directly, but passed the ball to Curry who was running in from the wing.

Seeing this situation, J.R. had to take two steps towards Curry.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Curry quickly passed the ball back to Butler. In this way, even J.R., the last barrier, was opened.

Butler jumped high, and J.R. rushed back, but every time he jumped, he just raised his hands high.
