341. Success is James, failure is James

When James made his first three-pointer in the fourth quarter, not many people were too concerned about it, because the Cleveland Cavaliers were still the leader on the court and had a 13-point lead.

But half a minute later, LeBron James hit a three-pointer again. This time, not many people still paid attention to this, because the Cleveland Cavaliers also scored a mid-range shot before this.

The score difference was only narrowed to 12 points.

86:74.

The Miami fans at the American Airlines Center were still frustrated and disappointed. Although they still had a glimmer of hope, it was just because of human inertia. Daniel Gilbert, the owner of the Cavaliers, also did not pay much attention to this at this time.

He was still smiling on his face.

But when LeBron James hit another three-pointer half a minute later, Gilbert finally couldn't laugh anymore! It was not just because LeBron James made three consecutive three-pointers after he came on the court. At the same time, the Miami Heat also defended a Cavaliers' offense before that, and this one-and-three-pointer directly narrowed the gap to 9 points!

86:77!

The double-digit score difference was only narrowed to single digits after LeBron James played for more than a minute!

This time, the American Airlines Center finally burst into cheers of a long-lost and fanatical cheer. Although LeBron James scored three three-pointers in a row only to recover the gap to 9 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers still have the ball rights, at this time, no one dared to be careless and take it lightly.

Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott directly requested a timeout. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers still had a 9-point lead, at this time, even Michael Jordan did not dare to be careless.

James' form seems to have risen. If you are not careful, it may be very likely to ruin the previous good situation. This is not something the Cleveland Cavaliers can accept. After all, as a team with relatively low rankings, they are on the weak side of winning the championship with the Miami Heat. Now they have a great opportunity to end this round of series. If they are ruined at the last moment, it may not just lose one game. Such a turnaround is very likely to win the emotions and mentality of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the next series.

"Wu!"

Scott discussed with his assistants on the court and walked back to the player seat. The first one to call his name was of course Wu Dawei. As the player who currently has the best limit on LeBron James and even all No. 3 stars in the Cavaliers and even the entire league, Wu Dawei will definitely become the number one choice for head coach Byron Scott at this time.

"You come on the court and replace Lassu!"

Scott said to Wu Dawei: "It's better to follow the strategy we arranged before the game! In any case, defending LeBron James' breakthrough is the first factor!"

Although LeBron James made three consecutive three-pointers before this, head coach Byron Scott did not intend to change his defensive strategy for James. Such an arrangement cannot be said to be right or wrong, it can only be said to be a relatively safe, conservative strategy plus a little gambling.

The shooting percentage of three-pointers is basically much lower than that of two-pointers. After James breaks through, as an offensive organizer of the Miami Heat, he will also have a large number of breakthroughs and passes. Moreover, the Miami Heat have many pitchers on the outside. Mike Miller, James Jones and even Eddie House are all the kind of shooters who may go crazy when they shoot.

Since James seems to be in shape at the moment, the top priority of the Cleveland Cavaliers is to curb James' state of relying on his own rejuvenation to drive the whole team.

If the Miami Heat's overall condition improves, it will be a disaster for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After all, from the perspective of hard strength, although the Cleveland Cavaliers have the advantage of the inside, the Miami Heat are still the stronger team in terms of strength!

Wu Dawei nodded. At this time, the time for the timeout was already here. The players from both sides walked back to the court. The Cavaliers' substitution this time not only replaced veteran Rasu Butler with Wu Dawei, but also brought Chauncey Billups back to the court.

James' three-pointers just now still disrupted the rhythm of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the court. Naturally, there must be an experienced point guard to re-stabilize the situation on the court. At this point, Ramon Sessions will of course be inferior to Chauncey and Billups.

The Miami Heat also adjusted the roster after the timeout. LeBron James made some declines with his own strength, allowing the Miami Heat to see hope. Eric Spoelstra did not hesitate to send all three aces in his hands back to the court by his colleagues. This was the real last struggle.

If the game does not improve again, then the Miami Heat will no longer have any chance in terms of scores or time!

"Oh~ James just scored three three-pointers in a row. Now, the Miami Heat sees hope of a comeback again! Coach Spoelstra sent the Big Three back to the stadium. It seems that the Miami Heat are preparing to launch a large-scale counterattack!"

The game started again, and the gap of 9 points was undoubtedly nearly doubled compared to the previous 16 points. Naturally, Miami fans once again saw the hope of winning the game. They stopped leaving the stadium and many returned to the court.

This season, the Miami Heat have staged a big comeback. Naturally, everyone has started to look forward to this game again. If there is a chance, who would have thought that they would leave this exciting and extremely intense stage so early!?

At least the Miami Heat, who is determined to win the championship this season, doesn’t want to!

The Cavaliers kicked off, and Billups took the ball through halftime. Wu Dawei cooperated with him at a high position. Billups used Wu Dawei's pick-and-roll to break through the inside, and then passed the ball outside the three-point line after attracting double-teams. Veteran Antoine, who was also in good shape tonight, received the ball outside the three-point line.

Jamison raised his hand to shoot without hesitation. This move made the American Airlines Center hold his breath. The Miami people were of course afraid of such an unpredictable move. Because if this goal was made, the score would undoubtedly be disheartening again.

The ball can come out from the basket!

Bosh won the rebound, James got the ball and then went to the frontcourt. Fortunately, the Cavaliers retreated quickly and cut off the fast break after the Miamis' defensive counterattack. James stabilized the situation on the court, and then he called Bosh from the inside to make a high pick-and-roll for himself.

Bosh's pick-and-roll quality is good. At this time, Wu Dawei chose to go around the back to defend to cut off James' breakthrough path, but James moved one step further and shot a shot from one step outside the three-point line!

Swish!

Basketball once again got into the basket! James has never been so accurate in this series! And the first time was at such a critical moment!

86:80!

"LeBron James! He hit a key three-pointer again!" Ernie Johnson couldn't help but shout in the commentary seat: "It's only 6 points away!"

Amid the shouts of DJ at the stadium, the American Airlines Center once again burst into thunderous cheers, and the hope that Miami people see is becoming more and more dazzling!

The opportunity has really come!

The 6-point gap made Pat Riley, who had been furious before, unable to help but his heart beat faster. The team boss Mickey Alison couldn't help clenching his fists, and the boxing champion Floyd Moses, who was sitting on the sidelines, roared ecstatically!

Compared with the cheering atmosphere on the spot, there was a relaxed Cavaliers player seat area before, and everyone had a solemn expression on their faces. The team owner Gilbert, who was sitting in the back of the player seat, frowned, and there was no previous happy smile.

Fortunately, the Cleveland Cavaliers slightly stabilized their position in the next attack, and Wu Dawei and Changxi Billups still made a pick-and-roll at the high position. Then, while Billups broke through the inside, Wu Dawei also took the lead in time.

Chris Bosh's defense was not timely. Billups rushed into the paint area and threw the ball into the basket. But LeBron James flew over and slapped the ball to the rebound, which caused a cheer from Miami fans, but the cheers came to an abrupt end as soon as they rang!

Because Wu Dawei jumped up after James, then grabbed the ball that was blocked by James on the rebound, and dunked the basketball into the net at the last moment!

88:80, this is a key score, not only to widen the gap again, but also to curb the Miami people's momentum of chasing points. Although next, Dwyne Wade broke through the inside and scored the blues, the gap remained at 6 points!

The two sides started the rhythm of going back and forth in the next game. The Cavaliers' advantage was quietly being eroded by the bombardment of the Miami Heat, but everyone in the Cleveland Cavaliers tried their best to maintain the increasingly smaller lead.

When the game reached the last 4 minutes, the score had changed from 88:80 to 99:96, and the score difference was narrowed by the Miamis to only 3 points left! This is a score difference that cannot be smaller. A single offensive rotation can be completely equalized!

At this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers still had the ball, so they were even more careful.

"Oh~ If the Cleveland Cavaliers fail to attack this time, their advantage may disappear directly. With the current state of Miami Heat and LeBron James, the 3-point gap is really small for them. LeBron James has already scored four three-pointers in the fourth quarter!"

Ernie Johnson's words were filled with joy, but Charles Barkley, who was standing aside, felt very unhappy. It felt like the Miami Heat were sure to catch up with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they were still 3 points behind!

Miami fans in the American Airlines Center were looking forward to it, while the Cleveland Cavaliers players were nervous. Fortunately, the Cavaliers' offense was very strong this time. After Wu Dawei and Billups completed their cooperation again, they broke up and broke up. Wu Dawei attracted the ball on the other side to get the ball, and then Wu Dawei chose to pass the ball again. Veteran Jamison made another three-pointer!

102:96! The score difference was once again stubbornly widened to 6 points by the Cavaliers!

"Beautiful pass! This is Wu Dawei's ninth assist in this game! He has contributed to the Cavaliers since the first minute of the game. Until this moment, Wu Dawei did not perform any abnormally! Judging from Wu Dawei's current outstanding and stable performance, it is not that easy for the Miami Heat to really catch up!"

Of course, Barkley wants to sing the opposite tune with Ernie Johnson. Not to mention that according to his usual commentary style, he just doesn't like Miami Heat and James. As well as his love for Wu Dawei, Barkley also wants to support Wu Dawei.

However, his words were not a boast of Wu Dawei, because Wu Dawei did this tonight. He has now scored 28 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 steals and 6 blocks!

A quasi-triple double data that is close to triple-double. And if it is a little bit more hilarious, it is a performance that almost reaches 5x5. The last time such a data appeared in the league dates back several years ago... At that time, AK47 was a big hit!

This is an extremely critical three-pointer and Jamison's third three-pointer in this game. The veteran has scored 11 points so far, which is why head coach Scott has not replaced him at such a critical moment.

However, when returning to the defensive end, the Miami Heat also hit a three-pointer! Mike Miller received a wonderful pass from LeBron James, and threw away the somewhat staggering veteran Jamison and scored outside the three-point line!

At the same time, Jamison, who came from behind, was also fouled! While Miller fell to the ground after scoring, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.

A foul by a thug put the entire American Airlines Center in a whirlpool of cheering. Every Miami man looked extremely excited, while the Cleveland Cavaliers players looked depressed.

Jamison, who was called for a foul, was so upset that Miller stood on the free throw line, while Jamison was eventually replaced by head coach Scott with Valaijo.

102:100, when Miller's free throw steadily entered the basket, the score difference was only the last 2 points left!

At this time, the Miami people were very motivated! The Cavaliers could only request a timeout again. At this time, head coach Byron Scott had few pauses left.

This is a 20-second pause, just to interrupt the crazy momentum of Miami people as much as possible.

Wu Dawei stood with his teammates. At this time, he could not feel any positive emotions from his teammates. Everyone seemed to have become the Miami people before at this moment, and the anxiety, anxiety and tension were full of everyone's foreheads.

The team's boss Gilbert stood in the back row of the Cavaliers' player seat, completely restless, and looked anxiously at the court. Everything seemed to be moving in a direction that was not good for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Do you still need to return this series to Cleveland?

When Wu Dawei came to Miami with the team a few days ago, he never had such an idea. His only idea at that time was still here to end this round of the series!

Wu Dawei doesn’t want to make changes and concessions in this regard!

But after the situation was a bit out of control, Wu Dawei was also unable to go against the will of heaven. After all, no matter how much basketball advocates personal heroism, it is still a team sport! One against five or even nine, that is something that only happens in NBA2k and NBAALive games...

A short 20-second pause was fleeting, and both sides returned to the court. The Cavaliers had the ball rights. Billups passed the half steadily, trying to delay time and rhythm. Let everything return to the normal trajectory for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers suffered once again in the frontcourt!

Billups was double-teamed by Wade and was intercepted. At this time, Wu Dawei had just completed the movement of slipping the bottom line. His position was so far behind that when Wade got the ball and ran to the frontcourt for a long distance, even as strong as Wu Dawei, he was powerless!

102:102! The score was equalized!

At this moment, the American Airlines Center finally heard the hottest cheers. It was as if the Miami Heat had won the game at this moment. Wu Dawei turned his head and looked at the Cavaliers players with a little panic. On the Cavaliers' players' seat, the team owner Gilbert could no longer laugh. He cried, as if the end of the world was about to happen...

Perhaps it was the stimulation that fell from the sky that made this extremely successful businessman feel a little unbearable...

The Cavaliers... Is there still a chance?! This is the only thought in Gilbert's mind at this time, and then his eyes involuntarily glanced at Wu Dawei. (To be continued.)
