697. The champion is in sight

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are still playing on the road, they have played a more imposing game than the previous game.

The San Antonio Spurs couldn't do anything about it, and while he tried his best to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the middle of the game to regain the lead, the Cleveland Cavaliers were clearly not prepared to give them such a chance.

After the game was tied 32-32 in the second quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers began a rapid counterattack.

They began to regain the lead, and with Wu getting better and better, the Cleveland Cavaliers were more and more in control of the game.

Although the San Antonio Spurs are fighting hard, the gap in strength makes them obviously a little powerless.

They certainly didn't want to lose to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but at this point, it wasn't something they could control.

Because of the weaker reason, the San Antonio Spurs could not grasp the initiative of the game, and naturally, the rhythm of the game has been controlled by the Cleveland Cavaliers or Wu Dawei.

This annoyed the San Antonio people, who didn't want to see it, but the San Antonio Spurs players seemed to have to put up with the fact that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei were playing strongly.

Of course, if they have the opportunity, then they will definitely spare no effort to prepare for a counterattack, after all, this game is their battle of honor.

For the San Antonio Spurs players, they should be the team that has no burden.

After all, the only goal is basically hopeless, so playing this last game to relax should be the situation and portrayal of the San Antonio Spurs at this time.

It's just that obviously the shadow of the previous three losses must still be in the minds of the San Antonio Spurs players.

So at this time. Obviously, they have been affected a lot by this.

However, no matter what, the game went on, but by the time the second quarter was 10 minutes played, the Cleveland Cavaliers were already seven points ahead of the San Antonio Spurs!

The San Antonio Spurs did everything they could to close the gap, but it didn't work out, but at least their efforts kept the San Antonio Spurs from completely missing out on the opportunity in this game.

So at this point, for the San Antonio Spurs, this is not the result they want to see, but it seems to be the best result they can get for the time being.

After all, the seven-point gap isn't particularly huge, for the San Antonio Spurs. If they play a little better, they may not have a chance to turn the score back.

After all, they once led the Cleveland Cavaliers by 17 points in the Finals, which somewhat proves that they are also a quality team.

It's just that their luck is obviously not so good, and being able to complete the comeback by the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 17-point lead is indeed not a glorious thing.

And in the eyes of most people, if the San Antonio Spurs had had better luck in that game, they wouldn't have lost that game just like that.

If you hadn't lost that game. Now, the San Antonio Spurs aren't waiting to be shaved by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

No one wants to be shaved head, and the slick head will always attract attention inadvertently, so people will easily remember it. They were shaved by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals, just like back then, when people remember 2007, LeBron Brown. The Cleveland Cavaliers led by James. He was once mentioned bald by the San Antonio Spurs in the Finals.

This is a very shameful, but difficult to wash away the truth of the matter, so at this time. For the San Antonio Spurs, they've been trying hard to avoid something like this.

Now, however, with the current state of the game, the San Antonio Spurs look a bit inevitable.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting more and more comfortable, but the San Antonio Spurs are getting more and more frustrated.

They don't seem to have much sense of struggle, perhaps because of the impact of the previous three consecutive defeats in the finals.

Because before the Finals began, the San Antonios obviously didn't expect that they would be shaved by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers were so strong before the Finals, the San Antonio Spurs were also quite perfect when they broke through from the West.

So it can be said that the San Antonios never thought that they would perform so badly in the Finals, and even seem so worthless in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers!

However, now, they obviously already know this, and in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers, their appearance is indeed very bad.

However, the San Antonios certainly don't want to continue with such a bad performance, and they still hope to be able to make a difference in this game.

As the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, although Popovich changed his previous roaring coaching style in this game tonight, he naturally could not be indifferent in the face of the team's long-term disadvantage.

So he asked for a timeout, hoping that the players could play a little stronger, tougher, and not be led by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

However, it is one thing to say that it is another thing to want to do it.

After all, when on the basketball court, the Cleveland Cavaliers are much higher than the San Antonio Spurs in terms of state and strength; Otherwise, after three games, the San Antonio Spurs would not have fallen behind 0-3 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In a series of rounds, after playing such a table, it is enough to show that the difference in strength between the two sides is not small.

And for the Cleveland Cavaliers. With such a lead in the overall score, what they have to do now is to end this round of finals and lift the O'Brien Cup in this game tonight.

At this time, the league officials are beginning to prepare for the coronation ceremony of the championship, although it is only a customary preparation, but it is clear that the Cleveland Cavaliers will feel very encouraged at this time.

After all, for them, they were originally scrappy in this game; And now, whether it is from the lead above the score or the suppression on the field. The Cleveland Cavaliers are clearly better than the San Antonio Spurs.

Naturally, at this point, they will want to win tonight's game even more, after all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning this game tonight will allow them to lift the O'Brien Cup.

And if they win the O'Brien Cup in tonight's game, it will not only mean that the Cleveland Cavaliers have won the championship with an unprecedented 16-0 winning streak in this season's playoffs, but also that the Cleveland Cavaliers have become another team to win the O'Brien Cup for three consecutive seasons after the Los Angeles Lakers in early 2000.

That means. They're another champion dynasty team in the league, which is a great temptation and a very great achievement.

For everyone on the Cleveland Cavaliers, not just the players. And the coaches, this is an unbeatable achievement!

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as long as the other side shows any flaws. No matter how much of the lead has been achieved at this point, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not feel too much in this game.

So at this time, for the San Antonio Spurs. They need to be more cautious; Otherwise, what awaits them may be the result of a big defeat to end this game.

In any case, they don't want such an outcome.

If two consecutive home games are lost by the Cleveland Cavaliers, then it will be a very bad thing for the San Antonio Spurs.

There's no doubt that they don't want that outcome, so at this point, for the San Antonio Spurs, they're going to do everything they can to avoid it.

However, in the second quarter of the game, although they tried their best not to lose the game, they were never able to find a chance to close the score gap or even equalize it.

At the end of the first half, the Cleveland Cavaliers were in full possession, while their opponents, the San Antonio Spurs, were never able to close the score.

At 60-52, at the end of the first half, the margin was eight points, which was not a small margin for the San Antonio Spurs.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, it was definitely a very good situation to be able to end the first half of the game with an eight-point lead over the opponent in the first half of the game on the road.

The score gap is 8 points, but at this time, the low atmosphere in the center of the entire at@t seems to make people feel that the gap is not more than 8 points.

The San Antonio people are already showing signs of collapse in their hearts, and naturally in the face of such a score disadvantage at this time, it is difficult for them to raise too much resistance anyway.

And when the first half of the game ended, when the players on both sides walked back to the locker room, the league staff continued to get busy on the sidelines, which broke the hearts of the San Antonio Spurs fans present.

"It's the right thing to do!"

Charles Brown, sitting in front of the commentary seat. Barkley couldn't help but sigh at this time, obviously, for Charles, who is a fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers. For Barkley, this is undoubtedly something he likes to see.

After all, at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers can be said to have mastered the overall situation, after all, they are now leading by 8 points, and judging from the on-court table of the previous second quarter game, the Cleveland Cavaliers can be said to have completely suppressed the San Antonio Spurs.

In most people's opinion, after 15 minutes of halftime, the Cleveland Cavaliers will still hold off the San Antonio Spurs playing at home.

After all, such a gap cannot be erased in 15 minutes of halftime, so at this time, in the eyes of most people, the tone of this game will basically fall like this.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be the champions of this game if nothing else, while the San Antonio Spurs will be out of the picture.

The Cleveland Cavaliers players, who returned to the locker room, naturally understood this better than outsiders at this time, and judging from the feeling of the first half of the game, they also knew that the San Antonio Spurs were not far from surrendering.

Now, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the second half of the game may be the final fatal blow.

And of course, they are also very confident that they can complete such a fatal blow in the second half of the game, and the San Antonio Spurs will completely collapse after a fifteen-minute break!

At this point, when the San Antonio Spurs players returned to the locker room, it was clear that they were much worse than the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After all, they are the side behind now, and they will not be happy anyway, but compared to the halftime of the previous games, it is clear that the San Antonio people have never looked better at halftime tonight.

As the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Popovich didn't say much at this time, and it was obvious that Popovich also felt very tricky for the next half of the game.

The current atmosphere of the team makes Popovich very uncomfortable, and he has no way to start in the face of Wu Dawei's excellent performance, but giving up this game tonight is not what he is willing to accept...... (To be continued......)
