340. It's over? Not yet!
The Cavaliers had an extremely wonderful start in the third quarter, not only to pull back the score, but also to overtake the score and retake the initiative on the court.
Although Miami Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra then requested a timeout to ease the passive situation on the court, when the one-minute timeout ended, the game started again, but the situation on the court did not improve much.
The Cavaliers continue to move forward!
Although after returning from the timeout, the Miami Heat took the lead in scoring. LeBron James and Dwayne Wade completed the cooperation at a high position. Wade cut the basket at a free throw, and James passed the ball just right. The two superstars cooperated in close cooperation, and finally ended with Dwayne Wade's picking the blues!
At 63:60, the score was caught up, but Miami fans didn't have much time to be happy. Because of the ball transfer, the Cleveland Cavaliers came to the Miami Heat's half, and Chauncey Billups took the ball.
Wu Dawei ran through the bottom line, and the double cover of Carman and Vallejo gave him a gap in the middle distance on the wing of the paint area. At this time, Changxi Billups' pass was just right, and Wu Dawei made a mid-range shot.
65:60!
It's still a five-point gap, but this time, after the ball's rights changed hands again, the Miami Heat were hindered on the offensive end!
James broke through the inside, but he encountered a blockade! When James jumped up and was about to take action, Wu Dawei flew into the sky higher than him! He waved his palm and looked hideous!
The ball was slapped away by Wu Dawei in the air. Billups, who was on the outside, grabbed the out-of-control ball, and the Cavaliers' counterattack formed in an instant!
Amid the lament of the American Airlines Center, Anthony Parker took the lead in the frontcourt! Then he completed the score!
67:60!
But even such a point difference is not over. The Cavaliers' strength is still continuing. The Miami Heat seems to continue to fall under the gaze of more than 20,000 fans in the game!
After the Miami Heat regained the ball, they missed the offensive end. Chris Bosh missed the jump shot and the rebound was grabbed by Wu Dawei, who rushed into the inside. Then he passed the ball to Billups.
The Cavaliers got an offensive opportunity, and after they came to the offensive end, they lived up to expectations! Chris Carman made a single in the inside, and the score difference was further widened by the Cavaliers, turning into 9 points!
69:60. It is almost close to the double-digit gap.
But the Miami Heat lost the ball again and the rebound was captured by the Cavaliers again. At this time, the atmosphere at the American Airlines Center became extremely depressing. Because the Cavaliers immediately completed the score after they arrived at the offensive end.
71:60!
After halfway through the third quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers who played away still led the Miami Heat by 11 points! This has definitely become a gap that cannot be ignored. At least Miami Heat's head coach Spoelstra can no longer sit idly by, and he once again requested a timeout!
If the 3:1 score makes this game a desperate situation for the Miami Heat, then this moment is the last hope for the Miami Heat. The third quarter is half over, but they are completely unable to control the situation on the court.
The disadvantage of falling behind by 11 points is also possible to lead to a complete collapse at any time. Even as the team's head coach, Spoelstra's mind is inevitably incomparable chaos at this moment.
what do I do!?
Miami people were filled with sorrow. Naturally, the Cleveland Cavaliers, as their opponent, had a more relaxed expression. When the players returned to the player's seat, everyone's faces were extremely relaxed.
Team owner Daniel Gilbert stood up from his position and applauded vigorously to cheer for the players' performance. Gilbert, who was full of face, never felt so sincerely how close the opportunity to revenge LeBron James is!
Daniel Gilbert couldn't stand his smile at the most eager wish in his heart in the past year that was about to be realized.
However, there is still more than a quarter before such a game ends. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers now have a double-digit lead, Daniel Gilbert's happiness seems to have come a little earlier.
After all, basketball games have always changed suddenly, and this is the charm of professional sports. No one knows what will happen in the next second.
"Mr. Daniel Gilbert, the owner of the Cavaliers, seems to be a little earlier. Judging from his appearance, it is as if the Cavaliers have won the game tonight."
The commentator seat where Ernie Johnson happened to be able to intuitively see Gilbert dancing, so as a commentator who has a good impression of the Miami Heat, Ernie Johnson naturally felt a little unhappy in his heart.
At the same time, I cursed the Cavaliers lost all the lead after the timeout and were overtaken by the Miami Heat, and finally defeated the Miami Heat in this game in a wave of defeat.
Ernie Johnson thought, by that time, you can still laugh!
Ernie Johnson's idea is good, at least it matches the wishes of Miami fans at this time, but it is quite difficult to achieve it. After all, the Cavaliers are not only leading the Miami Heat at this moment, but their performance on the court is also better than the Miami Heat.
Otherwise, how could they have been one point behind before the beginning of this quarter, and overtook the final 11 points.
Although Miami Heat's head coach Spoelstra made a re-adjustment during the timeout, the Cavaliers did not counterattack as Ernie Johnson thought.
After the timeout, the Miami Heat took the lead in attacking, but LeBron James did not score for the team. Wu Dawei interrupted the ball from his hand, which made many people even more disappointed with his performance tonight.
Then, after the Cavaliers came to Miami for halftime, they successfully completed the goal. The score was further widened by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The gap of 13 points seemed to have not yet reached its end.
The despair above the American Airlines Center seemed to be haze. It enveloped the hearts of every Miami fan. The feeling of depression was approaching step by step, as if it was about to swallow them in the next second.
It's an unreal feeling, at least for most people who support the Miami Heat. In their hearts, the first-round series rout was something they never thought of.
Because this is the Miami Heat! A Miami Heat consisting of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh! Their destination should be on the big stage in June!
The silent shouts almost all came to the hearts of these fans at this time, because they dared and were unwilling to believe it. A Miami Heat, known as the favorite to win the championship this season, is really going to wither in the first round of the playoffs!
But the facts in front of us cannot tolerate the Miami people having to admit sadly that when the third quarter ended, the score had become a huge difference of 84:68 and 16 points, and it seems that even God is powerless to turn the world back!
"Wu Dawei scored 24 points in three quarters and contributed 10 rebounds to the team, and also had 7 assists, 4 blocks and 6 steals! With such an unsolvable performance, it is no wonder that the Miami Heat would be defeated after the third quarter! Because compared with Wu Dawei, LeBron James now only scored 12 points, with 8 rebounds and 6 assists, which is really not worth mentioning!"
Charles Barkley said this when he was resting between the third and fourth quarters: "James once again lost tonight's game with a disappointing performance. Last year he lost to the Celtics. Everyone was making excuses for him that it was because he had no help. Tonight, Dwyne Wade and did his best, he contributed 23 points, but the Miami Heat still couldn't see any hope! James could no longer find any excuse to escape responsibility. He was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Wu Dawei! Even in my opinion, he could not compare with Wu Dawei's performance tonight. Rather than saying that this game was a contest between Wu Dawei and James, I would rather call it a tit-for-tat confrontation between Wu Dawei and Dwyne Wade!"
Barkley's words are somewhat mean, but as a team leader, the greater the praise you can afford when you are glorious, then the greater the ridicule you must withstand when you are lost.
If the Miami Heat's loss is not LeBron and James' responsibility, it means that the Miami Heat is not his team. I believe even James himself would not agree with this.
So, at this moment, James could only sit silently on his chair and accept such criticism.
The huge gap of 16 points makes people unable to see the hope on the court situation. Everything makes the fans who come to the American Airlines Center feel depressed tonight. So, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, many disappointed fans left their seats and turned around and left.
James sat on his chair, observing the surroundings, as if he could feel countless disappointed gazes coming towards him. He felt a little chest tightness and his body trembled. He turned around and could see the relaxed atmosphere in the Cavaliers players' seat on the other end of the court at a glance. Even in his mind, he could imagine how excited and excited Wu Dawei was.
I can't just lose the game!
This was the only thought in James' mind at this moment. Even though he felt that his teammates around him were somewhat depressed, James still did not give up on such an idea. Because the game is not over yet!
A 16-point trail, and the last quarter of the game left.
In 12 minutes, this is the last chance left between the Miami Heat and him!
He and his team have already stepped into the gates of hell, so what else is he going to worry about?
Although the Miami Heat were already 16 points behind in this game, Spoelstra still replaced LeBron James on the court just after the fourth quarter started.
James was replaced with one minute left in the third quarter, which means he didn't get much chance to breathe, so he was put on the court again!
Although Miami fans have begun to leave the court in the stadium of the American Airlines Center, most of the fans are still sitting in their own positions. Although not many people have hope for this game, before the last moment, even in a desperate situation, it is difficult for people to give up the last glimmer of hope, right?
Hope is the most terrifying thing, but even if you know it, you will never be able to let go calmly!
LeBron James returned to the court. At this time, it was the time when both sides entered the rotation period, and basically both teams sent the substitute lineup to the court.
"Oh~ LeBron James is so terrible!"
Daniel Gilbert, the Cavaliers boss sitting behind the Cavaliers' player seat, laughed without hesitation after seeing LeBron James appearing again. At this moment, his mood was like the endless blue sky in Miami, so clear that it could not be clearer!
James is indeed stubborn. He doesn't want to lose this round of the series so easily. From a deeper perspective, the one he is most reluctant to lose to is his former club, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So, he naturally didn't see the coffin and shed tears! After returning to the court, it happened to be the Miami Heat's ball. LeBron James took the ball through the half, and then faced the defense of veteran Rassu Butler. LeBron James jumped up unexpectedly before rushing to the three-point line!
A quick stop jump shot outside the three-point line!
LeBron James leaped high, attracting everyone's attention. Wu Dawei sat on the player's seat and raised his head. Miami fans raised his head. Even the Cavaliers boss Daniel Gilbert, who was sitting behind the Cavaliers' seat, finally turned his eyes and put them back on the court while having a joke with his friends.
At this time, James jumped to the highest point within his ability, and then he threw the ball in his hand. The next second, as everyone's eyes were watching, the ball flew up!
After a short flight, the ball reached the other side and entered the basket with a swish!
Three-pointer hit!
84:71! The Miami Heat recovered three-pointers.
A cheer sounded at the American Airlines Center, Wu Dawei frowned, while Daniel Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, was stunned, and then continued to turn his head and talk to his friends next to him again...
Everything was like a grain of sand that hit the lake, but it only rippled a little and then became calm, and no one paid attention to it. But at this time, LeBron James still had a sense of fighting in his chest! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
