Chapter 355: Total score 3:1

James, who had completed the steal, rushed out immediately, and Leonard, who was fast at his side, immediately hugged him.
Leonard responded quickly and made the most sensible choice.
But foul play is just a strategy.
The moment the whistle sounded, Wang Xiao sat back in his seat.
At this point, the Wizards are behind by 3 points, and James is about to execute a free throw, the point difference will be further expanded.
If James makes 1 of 2 free throws, the Wizards still have a little hope of recovering the score.
But if James made all 2 free throws, he would have to invite McGrady with 35 seconds and 13 minutes to win the game...
James is not ready to give the Wizards a chance.
In both free throws, the point difference was expanded to 5 points.
With only about 30 seconds left until the end of the game, the Wizards can only perform three-point tactics.
Curry held the ball in the top arc, pretended to break through in front of Irving's defensive dribble, and then stepped back with a 3-pointer.
Irving was not fooled, because he also knew very well that Curry would definitely only make a three-pointer at this time.
So the moment of retreating in Curry immediately stepped forward to interfere.
Curry shot quickly, without being directly interfered by Owen, but basketball still deviated from the rim.
"Wow!"
The basketball bounced high on the hoop, and Howard roared, pressing Gobert up and pulling the basketball into his arms.
The Wizards' only hope of a comeback was shattered.
Wang Xiao did not continue to cling, and the Wizards did not engage in foul tactics, but watched the game gradually elapsed.
When the whistle at the end of the game sounded, the score of the two teams was fixed at 102:107.
Under the desperate situation of the Cavaliers, they pulled back to a city at home and changed the score to 1:2. Although they were still behind, they managed to climb up from the cliff anyway.
In this game, James can be regarded as the most pinnacle of his career.
47 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, while also limiting Leonard's scoring to only 14 points, it can be said that the two sides of the offense and defense show full dominance.
In addition to James, Irving's 24 points and a three-point kill at the critical moment are also very important.
Although the figures of Howard and Love are not gorgeous, they also play their due role.
Even so, their victory over the Wizards is still very thrilling.
Without Irving's three-pointer, without James's key steals, the Wizards may still make a comeback.
On the Wizards' side, Curry scored 28 points, followed by Thompson with 21 points and Leonard with 14 points.
Although the scores of several main cores are not low, the shooting rate is not high, which is why the Wizards will lose.
However, after the game, Wang Xiao did not blame the reason for the failure on Curry and others who had a bad feel and poor hit rate, but took the initiative to take responsibility for the failure.
"This game, obviously we are not ready. The smooth victory made the team a little too weak. As the head coach, I failed to promptly remind and let the players adjust from this mentality. It can be said that this game The responsibility for the failure lies with me."

In fact, Wang Xiao still has a useless card, that is, the item card "expect the enemy to win".
He can use this skill to predict the key three points of Irving, or he can also predict James' steals and re-arrange the tactics.
But Wang Xiao was useless. On the one hand, he was distressed by the high victory value consumed by the props card. On the other hand, Wang Xiao did not think that the Cavaliers could reverse the defeat by virtue of the victory and defeat of this game. , The final victory will still belong to the Wizards.
The failure of a game will not affect the direction of the entire series, but will also give a sing along. The Wizards team who has not yet lost in the playoffs has sounded a wake-up call, making everyone feel a sense of crisis.
...
Consistent with Wang Xiao's ideas, although many Cavaliers football fans are cheering for the team's home win, most of the media in the league maintain a close consensus on the results of the two teams' series.
The Wizards will eliminate the Cavaliers and advance to the finals.
After all, even if the Cavaliers win at home, winning is quite difficult, and there is even a big fluke component.
James Little Universe broke out, Irving was finalized, and the Wizards players had a bad feel and other factors.
You can’t always keep James in the state that the small universe exploded, nor can you count on Irving to make every key three-pointer, let alone expect the Wizards’ core to feel bad twice.
But if there is a problem with these factors, can the Cavaliers beat the Wizards at home?
This answer was given in the fourth game of the two teams.
...
On the court, the players ran back and forth to defend and attack, sweating and raining, but outside the court, the Cavaliers' "fans" had very ugly faces, and many people showed "lost" in their eyes.
The game has reached about 8 minutes in the third quarter, and the players on the court are both substitute players.
It's not that the main players don't have a good rest, but that the main players don't need to appear at all.
At 97:54, the point difference has reached 43 points, which is no longer an effort to catch up or overtake the number!
Unlike the previous game, from the beginning of the game, the Wizards showed an almost terrifying offensive firepower. Curry and Thompson fired outside the three-point line, almost "shooting" the Cavaliers outside. .
In the previous game, James, the of the world, was a bit depressed. It was not that he was in a bad state, but that the Wizards directly carried out a double-team tactic.
Whenever James touches the ball, the Wizards immediately sent a combination of Leonard + Green, and James was forced to pass the ball.
James' passing ability is indeed very strong, can accurately pass to the hands of open players, but not everyone is as efficient as him.
The most frequent catch is Green Power's defensive power forward Kevin Love. Most of the time, he is outside the three-point line when receiving the ball. The timing and opportunities are very good.
But a good chance does not mean you can score.
Love, who has a good shooting percentage from the three-point line, has become miserable in this game.
He missed all 6 shots, even if he didn't even score a goal.
Not to mention the Cavaliers in this case, even Wang Xiao was unexpected.
Originally, he felt that the outside firepower of the Shuihua Brothers was definitely stronger than that of Le Fu, so he was willing to play this way.
But I didn't expect Love to send him a big gift, which laid the lead directly in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, the third quarter continued to expand.
In the face of Leonard + Green's double team, James can only hurry. There is no way. Others on the Cavaliers have no players who can stand up to help James share the firepower.
In the fourth game, he lost his suspense early with such a huge gap, and the total score of the series became 3:1. The Wizards won the match point.
