634. The Moment of Destiny
Whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the San Antonio Spurs, the fourth quarter game will definitely become the final decisive battle between the two sides in this game tonight. △↗
Whether it is the San Antonio Spurs who are leading the way or the Cleveland Cavaliers who are lagging behind, they will certainly pay attention to this.
Because the performance in this last quarter will determine their final fate tonight.
Whether it is a team that plays at home or a team that plays away, of course, they all hope that they can become the final winner in this game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have their own reasons, that is, this is their home speed loan center, and they have never lost any game at their home court since the start of the playoffs.
So they don't want such a record to be broken tonight.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers' opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, is the away side, they also have their own reasons, that is, they are leading three quarters of the game, so they naturally hope not to let all their efforts tonight be in vain.
For the San Antonio Spurs, they were already 0-1 behind the Cleveland Cavaliers in the series; so of course they would not hope to be the defeated side again in this game tonight.
This is something they can't tolerate. After all, in this game tonight, they have always been the leading side, so naturally they don't want to be turned over by their opponents at the end of the game.
The 10-point lead of 86 to 76 is very beneficial to the San Antonio Spurs in the last quarter; they have a 10-point lead and want to win this game tonight, at least at this time, it will definitely be more likely to have a chance than the Cleveland Cavaliers who play at home.
However, as long as the San Antonio people think about the momentum of the Cleveland Cavaliers chasing the score in the third quarter, it will indeed make the San Antonio people feel a little scared.
So at this time, they are also very clear to the San Antonio Spurs players; although they hold a 10-point lead in their hands when they enter the last quarter, this is not enough to make them sure to win the game at this time.
So for the San Antonio Spurs players, they need to be more careful in the fourth quarter.
Otherwise, the third quarter may continue to happen, which will definitely not be a situation that the San Antonio Spurs players are willing to see.
So for the San Antonio Spurs players, they naturally hope they can
In the next fourth quarter, the performance was better than that of the third quarter.
Of course, this is not an easy task. After all, the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the third quarter really made the San Antonio people feel lingering fear.
But now, the 10-point lead is their greatest psychological guarantee; on the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they played better than the San Antonios in the third quarter, it is obvious that the 10-point disadvantage is also in the fourth quarter, and they have to bear greater pressure than the San Antonio Spurs.
So in fact, for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, they will of course look forward to having a good performance in the fourth quarter.
This good performance must support them to be the winner in the next game; and at least it must be better than they performed in the third quarter.
Of course, at this time, the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers will feel Alexander; and for the San Antonio Spurs, although they are under pressure, they obviously have a 10-point lead. In any case, they will not be as nervous as the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time.
After all, the advantage of 10 points is not small, as long as your performance is normal, then even if the Cleveland Cavaliers perform well, it will be difficult for them to catch up with such a score gap in a short period of time.
The fourth quarter game only has 12 minutes of game time, which is certainly not impossible for the Cleveland Cavaliers to catch up with the disadvantage of 10 points in 12 minutes; however, they will not be completely confident about it.
So at this time, the situation is still very worrying for the Cleveland Cavaliers; but after all, their performance in the third quarter was extremely outstanding; so for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they can still look forward to the next game.
They caught up with the disadvantage of 7 points in the third quarter. So at this time, since they were able to catch up with the disadvantage of 7 points before, why can't they go further in the fourth quarter?!
So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they can be said to be stress and motivation at this time.
Especially Wu Dawei, who is the core of the team, recovered in the third quarter, which obviously made the Cleveland Cavaliers most angry.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, if they want to complete the turnaround in the last quarter, it depends on Wu Dawei's performance as the team's core.
The more than 20,000 people in the entire Speed Loan Center understand this very well, so as the opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game tonight, San Antonio Spurs head coach **Vicci has been emphasizing this point to his players when the period was paused.
"We must be wary of Wu Dawei's counterattack! I know that his performance in the first half was easy for people to ignore him, but he had already given us a heavy blow in the third quarter. I don't want him to be punched in the last quarter again!"
**Vicci shouted at all the San Antonio Spurs players, and he obviously hoped that everyone could listen carefully and concentrate on listening to himself at this time.
The San Antonio Spurs players are indeed listening carefully. In fact, Wu Dawei's performance in the third quarter is enough to allow all the San Antonio Spurs players to listen carefully to every word about him at this time.
Because the San Antonio Spurs players didn't want it at all, and the situation like in the previous game will happen again.
That might make them feel extremely excited for the Clevelanders. However, it was like a nightmare for the whole San Antonio Spurs.
They didn't want to reminisce at all, so at this time, for the San Antonio Spurs players, they need to put the most pressure on Wu Dawei in the next game as much as possible.
Because the San Antonio Spurs don't want to be led by Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers to complete the final comeback in the last quarter.
So at this time, for the San Antonio Spurs players, they need to unite in the next game.
"Do our transfer ball well! We must continue to play our previous performances in the game for a while. Let the offense be smooth and don't be affected by anyone! Keep playing our offensive style and method!"
**Vicy sat in front of all the players and shouted loudly. Obviously, for **Vicy, he hoped that this game would be foolproof.
But Wu Dawei's performance in the third quarter was indeed a wake-up call in his heart.
So at this time, he meticulously told all the players about his arrangements for the last quarter, hoping that the team would not make any mistakes in the last quarter.
This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate, for **Vicci, he is bound to win this game.
But if it is the end of the first half, everyone may agree with his point of view; but at this time, after the third quarter, someone has begun to express different opinions on this.
"The San Antonio Spurs led by 10 points at this time, making them look sure to win. But Wu Dawei's performance in the third quarter was already sending a signal to everyone, that is, the Cleveland Cavaliers' counterattack is coming!"
Charles Barkley became extremely excited because of Wu Dawei's performance of 16 points and 4 assists in the third quarter.
But not everyone agreed with his words. Kenny Smith, who was sitting next to him, said at this time: "That's not necessarily the case. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers relied on Wu Dawei's performance to recover a little score in the third quarter, the San Antonio Spurs will definitely make some adjustments in the fourth quarter! And they also have a 10-point lead. The Cleveland Cavaliers' prospects in this game are worrying!"
Although he was refuting Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith's expression was no longer so satisfying at this time.
Obviously, this is because Wu Dawei's performance in the third quarter caused a huge impact on his concept of this game.
So although the San Antonio Spurs still have a 10-point lead at this time, this advantage is not small, but Kenny Smith still dared not make a decision easily.
For them, after witnessing the magic of Wu Dawei with their own eyes, no one dared to easily feel that the other side will definitely win the game when facing Wu Dawei as an opponent.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they were 10 points behind, they still had a chance to win the game.
Of course, from the surface, the San Antonio Spurs who play away will definitely have a better chance of winning.
The final game between the two sides in this game tonight is about to begin at this time; the two minutes of rest between the festival will soon pass, whether for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the San Antonio Spurs, the next step will naturally be the final battle of this game.
No one wants to become a disadvantaged party at this time, so both sides must come up with all their methods at the beginning of the last quarter to try to create more leads for themselves in the game.
This is extremely important for the leading San Antonio Spurs at this time or the lagging Cleveland Cavaliers.
Because no matter which side, it doesn't want to lose tonight, so it's time to do your best!
However, after the start of the fourth quarter, both sides did not directly send their core lineups to the court. Obviously, this is because at this time, whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the San Antonio Spurs, they need to give their core players some rest time. In this way, when the battle is at the last moment, the players will not easily lose their chains due to physical energy consumption.
If the chain is dropped at a critical moment, it will become a very fatal blow to either side.
Therefore, the head coaches of both teams must be extremely cautious at this time; especially as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, **Vic needs to be even more cautious at this time.
Because whether it is Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, or Manu Ginobili, they are already quite old, and their physical strength is definitely not comparable to that of young people, so at this time, **Vic naturally needs to be more cautious about this.
Fortunately, the San Antonio Spurs are still a whole team, so for **Vic, he can be more at ease to let the rotation lineup stay on the basketball court at this time; and as the opponent of the San Antonio Spurs, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron Scott, will be the one who will become more distressed at this time.
Because the strength gap between the team's starting lineup and the rotation lineup is quite huge, so at this time, he was a little worried that when Wu Dawei sat under the basketball court, the Cleveland Cavaliers would collapse at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
If that's true, then this game is really a night that disappoints the Clevelanders.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, if they lose the game tonight, it means that they have maintained their unbeaten golden body in the playoffs for almost two months and will be broken at this time.
In any case, this will not be something that more than 20,000 Cleveland fans who came to the Quick Loan Center tonight would like to see.
So at this time, for Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott, he naturally felt very worried about the team.
They need to regroup, not only in the third quarter, but also in the fourth quarter.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they already had a bad prize in the second half of the game, from 17 points to only 10 points left, which is a very good thing.
What they need to do now is to continue their performance in the third quarter in the fourth quarter and continue to catch up with the behind.
In this way, the players of the San Antonio Spurs, who are leading the team, will definitely feel more and more worried.
Once the opponent has some concern in his heart, it is obvious that he will easily experience panic in the next game.
Once the opponent becomes panic, the Cleveland Cavaliers' chance will naturally come; and by that time, Wu Dawei, who has returned to form, will obviously make the Cleveland Cavaliers more confident.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, it is certainly not easy for them to win this game; but for them, it is not a completely unlucky thing.
So at this time, they must have been extremely motivated. After all, in the previous third quarter, they had already brought the scores closer.
Now, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are hopeful, will definitely be more motivated for the next game; for the San Antonio Spurs, perhaps because they lost a game before, so although they are the leading side now and have a big advantage, they still have some concerns.
The mentality of both sides at this time will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the fourth quarter game. After all, at this point, the Cleveland Cavaliers who play at home still have more advantages than the San Antonio Spurs.
This will give them more opportunities in the last quarter, and this is what the Clevelanders hope to see.
When the two-minute break time passed, the second half officially kicked off. Although Wu Dawei and Tim Duncan both rested under the basketball court, Manu Ginobili and Kyrie Irving, two All-Star players, were leading the team to continue fighting on the basketball court at this time.
Whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the San Antonio Spurs, both sides will definitely hope to get a good start in the fourth quarter.
Especially at this time, as the lagging side, the Cleveland Cavaliers need a better start to get a good start for them to catch up with the score in the last quarter. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
