Chapter 133: Raging Howard
James and Qin Yang's passing and cutting cooperated, and the Magic team couldn't stop it.
This is a lineup decision, unless Howard is really Superman and can run two back-and-forth between the two in a second, there is nothing to stop the Cavaliers from winning.
The score alternately grows.
But the Cavaliers quickly overtook and then the margin slowly widened.
When the Magic team hit the last shot, Qin Yang directly dribbled to consume time and waited until the end of the game.
No one on the Magic team stepped forward to foul.
Backbite!
The game ended with the Cavaliers winning Game 3 by seven points.
The end of this game means that there is not much danger in this series.
With a 3-0 lead, this advantage is very obvious.
If in the first two games, the Cavaliers' victory was due to the home factor and Qin Yang's sudden outburst, then the victory in this game proves that the overall strength of the Cavaliers is stronger than that of the Magic team.
"Alright, Dwight, it's not the end of the world."
Qin Yang stepped forward to comfort Dwight Howard, but Howard rarely did not show a smile, his face drooped, and his expression was not very good.
After returning to the locker room to take a shower, Qin Yang and James attended the press conference.
"This is a crucial victory for us," Qin Yang tried to be as flat as possible in the interview, "The Magic team is a difficult opponent to play against, we fell behind for a long time in the game, but fortunately we made adjustments and won the game. ”
"Dwight Howard is a very good centre-forward and he has caused us a lot of problems, but we're a better team."
Qin Yang praised everyone on the Cavaliers.
In this game, Delonte West and Mo Williams can play, and the shooting percentage is above 40%.
Well, that's the highest shooting percentage of the two in the three games.
James was excited:
"We finally got a tough win...... There is one more game to come, and hopefully a win in the fourth game will give you more time to face the last opponent. ”
James is very good at talking, but saying this kind of thing at this time still makes people a little speechless.
After accepting the interview, Qin Yang said in a low voice:
"LeBron, Game 4 is not going to be easy to play, neither the league nor the Magic team wants us to end the game so soon."
James smiled: "It's okay, even if you lose the next game, you can go back to Cleveland to win." ”
It's already happened, there's no way around it.
On the 26th, the fourth game of the Cavaliers, away against the Magic.
The Cavaliers are already 3-0 up, and this fourth game is a face-saving game for the Magic, and for the league, playing one more game means one more gain, so this game will be difficult for the Cavaliers. The league hopes that the Magic can win.
Everyone on the Cavaliers is ready.
But after the game began, everyone on the Cavaliers was confused.
The first ball.
Alston hit the iron, Howard grabbed the rebound, and then a hook turned out to be in, and at this moment, O'Neal possessed.
Ben Wallace, who was defending Howard, was stunned.
More stunned in the back.
Howard cut in the air, Ben Wallace fouled, Howard threw the basketball like a discus, and the free throw went in again.
Hooks, shots, free throws, defense, rebounds!
In this game, Howard went completely berserk.
As a result of the rage, the Cavaliers were stunned.
In this game, James was 8 of 20, with 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Delonte West was 6 of 15, Mo Williams was 4 of 8, and Vallejo was 7 of 12.
In contrast, the Magic players performed averagely.
Tekoglu was 3 of 12, Alston was 5 of 16, the shooting percentage was low, and the other players did not explode, Rashad Lewis was 6 of 13, and he played well, but it was very average compared to the perverts in the previous games.
But...... The Magic led by 13 points to win.
Howard went completely berserk in this game.
16-of-23, 12-of-16 free throws, 44 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, this statistic is simply desperate.
Qin Yang was shocked by Howard.
This big man is too much to resist when he goes crazy.
In particular, there were several mid-range shots and hook shots that stunned everyone.
The free-throw percentage is almost a career-high.
Even the Sparks had a three-point shot.
It's a pity I didn't get in.
After the game, Howard said in an interview: "The team didn't give me the support I deserved, and if I couldn't find help, I would choose to leave the Magic." ”
Warcraft escaped?
This is big news for the league.
Of course, the media hyped this big news a lot.
Howard, who was furious, was also praised by everyone on the Cavaliers.
James:
"We've done well enough, everybody is playing well, but what can we do with Dwight like that, he's the best interior player in the league, and no one would mind being his teammate if they could."
Qin Yang:
"It's a historic interior, some people say he's not strong offensively, but that's fine, every player feels the oppressive defense when they meet him, forget it, let's shoot from the outside, the basket is his turf, it's a desperate feeling."
Big Z:
"We tried to stop him, but no one stopped him, and Dwight alone made us feel an unbeatable amount of pressure."
Valejo:
"There's only one center in the league like that, Dwight Howard."
Compared to the praise of the Cavaliers, the performance of the Magic players against Dwight Howard was relatively lackluster.
Neither Turkoglu nor Petrus were willing to speak.
The others were also silent.
Tekoglou was the tactical core of the Magic team, but his performance was mediocre and his shooting percentage was average, and he failed to lead the Magic team's offense.
But...... Turkoglu was very dissatisfied.
This season, Turkoglou is considered one of the best value players, with a mid-level contract, leading the Magic team to this point.
The Magic's contract with Turkoglu has not yet been negotiated.
The Magic team is also in turmoil.
At the end of the game, the Magic fell behind 1-3.
Without being swept, the Magic are no longer ashamed, and the next game is back at home in Cleveland, and the Cavaliers will not give the Magic any chance.
On the one hand, the Magic team has just passed the momentum, and on the other hand, the Cavaliers have recovered their momentum.
There will be no suspense in this game.
And that's exactly what happened.
On the 28th, the Cavaliers, who returned to fight at home, defeated the Magic.
James was furious at home, with 38 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists unmatched, and Qin Yang simply got 18 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals.
Dronte West and Mo Williams were efficient.
There was no suspense that the Cavaliers would win.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers won with a majority lead of 4-1, and in this case, the Cavaliers quietly waited for their next opponent.
And this opponent is likely to be the Lakers.
