587. LeBron's Final Battle

Although before tonight's game begins, the Miami Heat have basically no hope of qualifying for this round of the Eastern Conference Finals.

After taking a 3-0 lead, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely not turn the Miami Heat lightly, so in this game on the evening of May 28, the Cleveland Cavaliers are naturally still unlikely to take it lightly.

But the Miami Heat surprised everyone in their second home game, especially in the opening LeBron game. James' personal strength can be described as a big blow to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers also relied on Wu Dawei's personal table to quickly equalize the score gap, but for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they really would not have thought that in such a game, the Miami Heat they faced would still be so scrappy.

In their imagination, in this game, the Miami Heat should have been completely defeated by the previous 0-3 deficit.

Although the Miami people must be unwilling, it is difficult to imagine that the Miami Heat can make any big waves in this round of the series with a 0-3 deficit.

Not only the whole Cleveland Cavaliers team thinks so, but even the outside world has a very unified view of this game.

People think the Miami Heat is not working. But it was clear that after the game started, the Miami Heat told everyone with a very firm statement that they would not give up because of this.

They didn't choose to give up lightly. But in fact, for this round of the series, they really didn't have much expectation.

However, that doesn't mean the Miami Heat won't go all out to win this game, after all, they really don't want to be swept out of the series by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Therefore, after the start of this game at this time, the Miami Heat will be so desperate to break the offensive of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

However, the Cleveland Cavaliers' state in this game is not as bad as the last game; After falling behind, although it was still Wu Dawei who helped the Cleveland Cavaliers equalize the score.

But then, the team's offense allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to quickly take the lead in the first quarter of the game.

Obviously compared to the last game. The rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers players are in much better shape in this game.

This is certainly a great thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing on the road. So at this point, the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to immediately take the lead in the first quarter of the game.

This hasn't happened in the last two games, and arguably the Cleveland Cavaliers' best first-quarter game in the last two games.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, it is certainly very advantageous for them to have such a first quarter game on the road.

LeBron. James has done everything he can in this game. He had eight points and four assists in the first quarter.

Such a number is arguably the best quarter he has played in this series, not only with his own score, but also with his teammates scoring.

It can be said that in the first quarter of the game, he not only added firepower to the team, but also tried to activate the firepower of his teammates many times.

But even so, after the end of the first quarter, the Miami Heat was still on the trailing side.

Wu Dawei's performance and play in the first quarter certainly contributed to it, and his personal performance in the first quarter of the game was the key to the Cleveland Cavaliers' lead.

12 points, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in the first quarter. Wu Dawei not only scored by himself, but also his counterattack after the steal often made the Miami Heat scramble.

And this led the Miami Heat to trail the Cleveland Cavaliers by as many as eight points 23-31 in the first quarter of the game.

This is not a small point difference. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing away, such a first-quarter lead is very beneficial to their progress in the next game.

After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, once they take the lead this season, they basically won't leave their opponents with too many chances.

So of course they're happy about it, and the Miami Heat won't like that rhythm. So after the start of the game in the second quarter, the Miami Heat naturally launched a counterattack quickly.

Because they want to be able to catch up with the score as quickly as possible. But as said before, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, after taking the lead, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not easily give up the lead to the opponent.

So when the Miami Heat suddenly launched a counterattack, the Cleveland Cavaliers were not too worried and flustered, they seemed very calm, and because of this, the Miami Heat's counterattack after the start of the second quarter of the game did not get much gain.

The Cleveland Cavaliers still held their lead in the second quarter, which made the Miamis even more impatient.

After all, they don't want to be the underdog at home, and they may not have much expectation for this round of the series, but for this game, the Miami Heat certainly don't want to be tied down by the opponent like this.

So even the first wave of the offensive didn't do much. But for the Miami Heat, they were still undeterred, and they soon launched a second wave of counterattacks.

And on this. The Cleveland Cavaliers are of course the guardians of their lead, after all, they know how difficult it is to take the lead on the road.

Although they won the last game, the process was not what they wanted and liked, so they would have preferred to control the pace of the game if possible.

Just like now, hold the lead in your own hands. Obviously, it is more reassuring to make people feel at ease than desperately trying to catch up with the disadvantages of falling behind. So the Cleveland Cavaliers were in the second quarter of the game. Although they were not able to continue to extend the advantage of the score as they did in the first quarter, at least they held on to the horn of the opponent's crazy counterattack.

That would be the end of the entire first half of the game for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It has also continued to be the leading party.

At halftime, the Miami Heat, playing at home, did not walk into the locker room with a lead as they did in the previous game.

This made the Miami people present feel unhappy and happy, they were originally the team that was about to be eliminated, and now, in the face of the team that was about to eliminate them, the Miami Heat could not have too many ways to speak in this game.

Watch the other team take the lead in front of you and go back to the dressing room with the lead. It wasn't a good result for the Miami Heat players and fans alike.

As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are very happy to accept such an outcome, so at this time. When the Cleveland Cavaliers players walked into the locker room after the first half, the expressions on their faces were very happy and happy.

For them, being able to lead the Miami Heat 60-55 at the end of the first half was a very good result.

At least compared to the previous game, the overall table of the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game has improved significantly.

Wu Dawei had 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks and steals in the half, which was the most important of all. Of course. The Cleveland Cavaliers were able to take a lead over the Miami Heat at the end of the first half. In addition to Wu Dawei's excellent performance, the rest of the players' performance in this game is also very important.

Because of this, the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to walk into the locker room with a five-point lead at halftime.

They were very happy with such a result, and they were naturally in a good mood, and compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers players, as the lagging side, the Miamins were naturally depressed at this time.

They're frustrated, especially LeBron. James, because of such a first-half score, he has to face the reality, is his Miami Heat really going to be swept out of the Eastern Conference finals this season by their rival Cleveland Cavaliers?

This is a very bad thing, considering that in the playoffs in the past few seasons, although the Miami Heat have not been able to win even a series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, at least they will not be swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But now, it seems that the Miami Heat is facing the result of being swept out!

This is a very cruel result, at least for Miamians, who are already hurting.

If they are really swept out of the tournament by the Cleveland Cavaliers with a score of 4-0, then the Miami Heat can be said to be completely disgraced, and they have not even died with any dignity.

Naturally, this is not what Miamians want to see, so at this point, this may be the only motivation for Miaminians.

For that little bit of so-called dignity!

However, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they don't care about the so-called dignity of Miamins. For their part, the Cleveland Cavaliers will only think about their own affairs.

For their opponents, the only thing they think about is to talk about them beating. It's not about how to pity each other.

Did you let the Miami Heat win this game tonight and they'd automatically give up in the next game?

They won't, but they will be more energized by it, thinking that they might be able to turn the tables around.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, at halftime, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Brown. Scott only said three words: "Keep attacking!" ”

They want to take a lead in the second half, and they need that lead to cement the Cleveland Cavaliers' win in this game.

This is very important. If you don't want to be overturned by the Miami Heat, who are playing at home, then at this time for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They had to play more resolute and good in the second half of the game, so that the Miami people completely ruined the idea of a comeback.

Only then can the Cleveland Cavaliers really win this game tonight.

They certainly know it's a tough thing. Judging from the Miami Heat's repeated counterattacks in the second quarter, it is clear that the Miami people will not just give up.

So at halftime Byron . Scott wants his players not to relax and slack off, and while they are within easy reach of a final victory in this series, they still need to be more nervous until the final whistle blows.

Only in this way will they be able to win this game without fail. Of course, this is not easy, so although the mentality of the whole team is very relaxed at halftime, the Cleveland Cavaliers who are playing away are still ready to deal with the opponent's counterattack in the second half of the game.

And after fifteen minutes of halftime. The second half of the game is about to start again.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers players playing on the road, they don't feel nervous at all, and they are even more eager to look forward to it.

Because they want to end the series as quickly as possible and prepare for the Grand Finals; And the same. At this time, for the Miami Heat players, they also want to be able to play in the second half of the game, which is completely different from the first half.

For this game, in the second half, the Miamins will still try their best to fight for it, and they will not let the Cleveland Cavaliers take the game away from the American Airlines Center so lightly.

So at this time. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to have the upper hand in the first half of the game, it was after the start of the second half. The Miami Heat still can't let the Cleveland Cavaliers dominate like this.

After all, this is the American Airlines Center, home of the Miami Heat, and the Miami Heat are the owners here, not the Cleveland Cavaliers.

So the Cleveland Cavaliers players know how tough the second half can become, and they know they still have to be cautious in the second half.

And once the Cleveland Cavaliers remain cautious, it will be very difficult for the Miami Heat to recover the disadvantage when the opponent is in such good form.

But at this time, no matter how difficult it is for the Miami Heat, they have to give it a try.

After all, they are the underdogs right now, and if they play too much with the Cleveland Cavaliers, it will be very disadvantageous for them to chase the score.

But now for the Miami Heat, if it's just LeBron. James went to chase the score alone, and it was more difficult.

After all, in tonight's game, the Cleveland Cavaliers are in extremely good shape, so at this time, if the Miami Heat wants to fight back, then they don't just need LeBron. James attacks alone and needs others for LeBron. James's support.

Otherwise, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be able to deal with the Miami Cavaliers' counterattack very well, and their counterattack will not create too much difficulty for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But at this time, in fact, the Miami Heat players are also doing their best, after all, they are relatively at a disadvantage in this round of the series.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers 0-3 on aggregate in their previous three games.

Therefore, although the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to be a little passive in the second half of the game because of the counterattack of the opposing team, they still firmly controlled the shape on the basketball court, and they were not disrupted by the Miami Heat all of a sudden.

That's what the Cleveland Cavaliers want, and while they want to be able to close the gap in the second half as quickly as possible, it depends on the reality of the situation, doesn't it?

After all, the Miami Heat are playing so strongly now, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are naturally more cautious than before, and they need to be careful to find other opportunities to widen the score gap.

And they believe that such an opportunity will definitely come in the second half of the game, as the Miami people are getting more and more impatient. (To be continued) I752
