Back to Cleveland with home court advantage, Shentong, James and others are full of confidence in the next battle of Tianwangshan.
When facing media interviews, James was still dissatisfied with the final penalty in the fourth game.
"We could have come back with a 3-1 score, but some people obviously don't want to see this happen, especially that happened in San Antonio, their home court. I think we can win the fifth game. Then take the match point and go to their side. No matter what the result is, winning the next game will put us in a very favorable situation, otherwise we will fall into a tough fight."
...
With a 2-2 tie, everyone wants to win the crucial fifth game.
This shows how intense this game will be.
The ball hasn't been hit yet, and the media in the two places are the first to fight.
Media in San Antonio:
"We have been subject to unfair penalties on the away court, otherwise we will not play so hard. I hope that the referees in Game 5 can be fair, at least not to be too biased, even though it is at home in Cleveland."
"The end of the fourth game is full of controversy, but even if the ball is handed over to the Cavaliers, can they really guarantee that they will definitely score? Isn't Shentong's final three-pointer still wide? Besides, the first half of that game Part of the time, the referee made several penalties in favor of the Cavaliers."
"Look at LeBron's dribble and layup. He walks almost every minute. I hope the referees will pay attention to LeBron's footsteps."
Cleveland media:
"Shouldn't Bruce Bowen be sent off every game? Look at his defense against Shentong. Almost every time he defends his hand, he will put his hand on Shentong's waist, and there are endless small moves, and it has never been interrupted."
"Marrick Rose's defense against LeBron didn't rush, he kept hitting LeBron's bottom plate with his knees. If you look closely, you can definitely find that the league cannot allow these actions that hurt players."
"Tim Duncan smiled on the bench at 3:45 in the second quarter of Game 4. Nobody cares?"
...
As for the fans on both sides, the speeches were earth-shattering and unscrupulous.
Everyone knows the power of brain residue fans.
There is no reason to reason with them.
But returning to the game itself, everyone set their sights on June 20th.
...
That night, there was a rare sudden rainstorm in Cleveland, but the bad weather could not stop the fans' enthusiasm.
The water surrounding Gund Arena is still blocked.
As the weather forecast did not report in advance, it rained at night, so many fans did not bring rain gear that day.
This can make a lot of money for the surrounding supermarkets and convenience stores.
...
In the arena, the atmosphere is hot.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup has not changed, but the Spurs have changed.
They put Marrick Rose into the starting lineup and play the small forward position, which is a change against James.
Bowen was placed directly at the shooting guard position, focusing on Shentong.
Originally, Manu Ginobili was placed on the bench by Popovich. It seems that he intends to use Ginobili to lead the second team and maintain the offensive power of the stadium.
In the first quarter, the Cavaliers at home burst into amazing energy.
Shentong hit 3 three-pointers in the first quarter.
James directly responded to the Spurs' changes on the court.
Didn’t you use Rose to play against me? Then I'll let you see if your wishful thinking works!
James, who was in the second-most position, had an extremely strong desire to attack in the first quarter, facing Rose's defense very resolutely to head-to-head, hitting 2+1 twice in a row.
Taking the domineering step, James completely ignored Rose's roar at the referee.
Rose: "The ball has gone six steps just now. Isn't this going to blow?"
Referee: "You fouled first, and your hand stuck him, so he can only layup like this."
Rose: "Then the penalty goal should be invalidated! Just let him free throw."
Referee: "The layup is a coherent action, there is no problem, it should be counted and penalized."
Rose: "Is his father David Stern? You want to protect him like this?"
Referee: "If you dare to say one more word, I will immediately give you a technical foul."
Rose: "Well, I won't say anything."
"Dididi----!!!"
"Spurs player No. 31, technical foul!"
Rose: "..."
...
At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers led by 51-40.
Judging from the halftime performance, the Cavaliers are in better condition than the Spurs, and Popovich's self-confident changes have had the opposite effect.
James played even more eye-catching in the second half.
It is very rare that James even succeeded in singles Duncan at the basket.
Don't talk about Marrick Rose, even if JJ Barea is here, he will definitely not be able to prevent James.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers are almost in their hands.
No one thought that in the exciting battle of Tianwangshan in the finals, the Cavaliers could lead the Spurs by a score of 89-71.
But just as the game entered the second half of the fourth quarter, James encountered a malicious foul by a Spurs player in the frontcourt breakthrough.
At that time, James faced Rose's defense, first stepped down the dribble and used a crab step, and then, with a pig-like roar, knocked away Rose and rushed inside.
Robert Horry, who had not been on the bench for a long time, suddenly rushed out from the side, almost riveted, and rammed into James on the side.
At this moment, James has just passed Rose, is exerting force on one foot, and his center of gravity is unstable.
So when Horry crashed into the layup, James was knocked out of the baseline and fell heavily to the ground.
What's more disturbing is that the slow motion shows that at the moment Horry knocked down James, the latter's ankle and the floor showed an amazing 90-degree angle!
James, who was knocked to the ground, had a very painful expression. He covered his ankles with his hands and rolled all over the floor.
Horry raised his hands and looked at James struggling on the floor with a very innocent expression.
Before everyone could react, Shen Tong and Wagner had already rushed to Horry's side, and Shen Tong pushed Horry back with a single palm.
Horry, who almost fell, looked back at Shentong, and was unambiguous, and immediately stepped forward to argue with Shentong.
Duncan hurriedly crossed the middle, separating Horry and Shentong.
But across Duncan, Horry and Shentong were still greeting each other. Within a few rounds, Horry seemed to suddenly become irritated, and kept trying to bypass Duncan and rush towards Shentong.
After all, Shentong is a man from Zu'an, and few of them can be Shentong's opponents.
At this time, the referee came forward and sent two consecutive technical fouls to Horry and Shentong, and the scene was only slightly relaxed.
...
The Cavaliers team doctor rushed onto the field and came to James' side.
After checking James' ankle injury, the team doctor shook his head at the coaching bench and made a stretcher gesture.
"How is LeBron?" Shentong asked anxiously.
The team doctor whispered: "The situation is not very good, I am afraid that surgery needs to be performed immediately, and subsequent games will not be able to play."
This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Shentong and the Cavaliers!
James' influence on the team is clearly visible, and he played very well in this game, maybe this state can be continued.
But now and the next game, the Cavaliers will face the situation without James on the court.
This is very cruel to the young Cavaliers competing with the Spurs.
James was carried out on a stretcher and taken directly to the hospital.
Before leaving the court, James had scored 30 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, very promising to win a triple-double.
But heaven and hell, in just a few seconds, completed the conversion.
...
After discussions with the three referees on the scene and the podium, Horry was fined a second-degree malicious foul and was directly sent off the court.
Horry did not make any excuses, shaking his head while leaving the court accompanied by the Spurs staff.
When Horry walked towards the player tunnel, Gund Arena was deafening boos.
However, Popovich's face carried an inexplicable expression.
LeBron James' departure did a great deal of damage to the Cavaliers' morale.
However, due to the large point difference and the short remaining time, the Cavaliers defeated the Spurs 102-94, rewritten the big score to 3-2, and held two match points.
.......
The Cavaliers who won the Battle of Tianwangshan should have been very happy, but James' injury cast a shadow over the team's prospects for winning the championship.
The Cavaliers lacking James is like a strong tiger, suddenly losing a foot, the impact will be very big.
And losing a general at this critical moment will also have a big impact on the morale of the Cavaliers.
After the game, the Cleveland media, including Cavaliers coach Paul Silas, used a very harsh tone to denounce Robert Horry's bad foul for not talking about ball ethics.
Some media wrote: "He did it deliberately. They didn't expect the Cavaliers to perform very well under the condition of Shentong. This would make them lose the opportunity to compete for the championship, so they looked for opportunities to abolish LeBron. As for Robert, he is just a small soldier. Without him, it has little effect on the Spurs, but the loss of LeBron makes the Cavaliers more and more difficult."
Silas also very rarely expressed his dissatisfaction with Horry's foul in a reprimanding tone.
"I think you have to be convinced to lose, and you have to be magnanimous to win, but the Spurs and their players obviously don't think so. I disdain to speculate about the purpose of others doing this? But undoubtedly Robert's foul makes me feel sick. , He made the game ugly, such a person shouldn’t stay on the court to continue playing!"
Compared with the outrage of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Spurs are quite low-key.
Horry expressed his regret to James and the Cavaliers in a very sincere tone at the press conference.
"My foul was really not intentional. I just wanted to catch up with LeBron quickly and stop his attack, but I didn't expect that such a collision would knock him out of the bottom line so badly. After all, he looked like he was. So strong. But anyway, if I do anything to hurt LeBron and the Cavaliers, I sincerely apologize to everyone and will strictly regulate my words and deeds in future games. I accept all penalties from the league. "
After the game, the NBA hurriedly issued opinions on penalties for Horry.
Horry will be suspended for 5 games, which means that the key man will miss the next games of the series, and will also be suspended for the first few games of the regular season next year.
To tell the truth, this punishment is relatively heavy, but it is not as good as the Cavaliers' lack of James.
...
Although the Cavaliers led by 3-2, gradually, people began to look forward to the Spurs who were behind by a large score.
That is, the Cavaliers who lost James couldn't beat the Spurs who lost Horry.
The facts also seem to confirm the views of these people.
In the sixth game, the Cavaliers had a last stand.
Wagner vowed before the game that other players will play 120% of their strength to make up for the vacancy left by LeBron James.
Silas also said that Reggie Miller's appearance can help the Cavaliers try a completely different play style without James.
But reality gave the fantasy knight a slap in the face.
The Spurs almost unscrupulously implemented a full-court press against Shentong, leaving Shentong with no sense of shooting in this game.
Compared with the situation in which Shentong has been struggling to find the feel, the Spurs' GDP collectively exerts its strength.
Miller played well, but he was just a shooter and could not afford James' influence on the offensive and defensive ends.
The Cavaliers suffered their worst loss since the playoffs.
80-104.
A 24 points fiasco.
...
Faced with the post-match interview, Shen Tong, who had only scored 19 points, first sighed, then smiled, and said: "I can only say that we all seem to be out of shape in this game. It can be seen that LeBron’s absence made everyone With a certain psychological burden, although we have just experienced a disastrous defeat, but fortunately, the score now is 3-3. This is not the end of the world. We still have a chance. And in the last game, we will return to Cleveland. ."
The local San Antonio newspaper posted a piece of news on the local sports official website 10 minutes after the game.
"The Spurs beat the Cavaliers, only one game away from the championship! 》
Such a title obviously hurts many people's nerves.
At first people thought Silas would be very angry about this big defeat, but in the press conference after the game, Silas was surprisingly calm.
"We are not ready to win the championship, but now it is only 3-3. There is still a chance, isn't it?"
...
The result of James' injury was announced on the second day of the loss in Game 6.
The ankle needs immediate surgery, and the expected recovery period will be three months.
This news completely dispelled the only glimmer of hope of some fantasizing fans~EbookFREE.me~ To make matters worse, the big Z was too desperate in the last game, the head was concentrated by Duncan's elbow during the game. However, although he felt dizzy for a moment and insisted on finishing the game, the team doctor found that Big Z had a concussion reaction during the post-match inspection and he had to rest for a week and was unable to participate in the final battle.
Everything is developing in a direction that is detrimental to the Cavaliers.
Even the local media in Cleveland began to be pessimistic about the prospects of the Cavaliers winning the championship.
Losing James, losing the big Z, starting the five to go to the second, the original book strength is not as good as the Spurs, why did the Cavaliers win the championship?
...
When all kinds of news were overwhelming, the Cavaliers collectively chose to be silent.
But one day before the game, Shentong suddenly released an unexpected video on the Internet.
