Chapter 1334 Fantasy, James Forcibly Renews His Life (Part 2)

Cleveland, home of the Cavaliers!

The G2 game between the Magic and the Cavaliers is going on, and the first half of the game has just ended. The atmosphere is so good that the fans are cheering wantonly, the players are celebrating wantonly, and the biggest James fans have come specially to watch the game. Rihanna even blew a kiss to Lao Zhan~!

The Cavaliers in this half deserved such a celebration. They led 30-16 in the first quarter and 29-20 in the second quarter. The Cavaliers led by as many as 23 points in just half the game.

This is a huge enough lead in any game. The Cavaliers only allowed the Magic to score 36 points at halftime, and the shooting percentage was only 32%. And the core of the Magic, Howard, the monster who killed everyone in the last game, scored 36 points in the first half. The data is an embarrassing 1-for-8 shooting, 0-for-4 free throws, only 2 points, and 9 rebounds. Although the rebounding data is still excellent, it is still undeniable that Warcraft was ended in this half.

Correspondingly, although James was not as explosive as the previous game in the first half, he made 7 of 12 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws. He still scored 19 points in the half, as well as 6 assists and 6 assists. 5 rebounds were scored and his performance was still brave.

"The gods have returned!"

This was the sign played by the Cleveland media at halftime.

The ESPN Ade commentary said: "If a 16-point lead will still be reversed, then the only way is to lead even bigger and more, so much that they can't reverse it."

"Well, the Clevelanders did it, and the Cavaliers did it, congratulations to them. The great James can finally move forward."

It was a bit of hypocritical praise, but it was regarded as the Bible by all fans, because even Ji Feng, after seeing this half-hearted first half, found it hard to believe that the Magic had a chance to come back.

"This is not going to be a comeback..." Ji Feng shook his head after watching halftime. Although the score difference was a bit big and different from the intensity he expected, it was still understandable. He originally thought the Cavaliers would win. Second home court.

This round of playoffs was originally considered to be a 55-5 opener. The Cavaliers and Magic were more dominant at their respective home courts. It was also a small probability that they were reversed in the last game. It can't happen all the time. It's okay to say 16 points, but the difference is 20 points. The above reversals are rare in the playoffs. They are ahead by 23 points and should be in trouble.

So Ji Feng waited for the start of the second half with a relaxed attitude. The vast majority of people had the same idea as Ji Feng. Only the most die-hard Magic fans still had some hope, and many people felt that it would be over soon if this continued. It's garbage time, and some domestic fans have even turned off the live broadcast and gone to do other things.

The second half started in this atmosphere. When the Magic entered the field, there were no boos at all, because the fans didn't care anymore and felt that they would win. Most people are very tolerant towards losers.

In the first attack, the Cavaliers had the ball, James distributed the ball, and the big Z inside shot missed the back shot, and it was an embarrassing mid-range shot.

But it didn't hurt, so James didn't complain. Instead, he smiled and clapped. Big Z himself smiled sheepishly and indicated that he was responsible for the ball.

It was the Magic's turn. The Magic's starting lineup basically had no rest. They were still on the court at this moment. The first attack was still the familiar pick-and-roll. However, this time Lewis did not pass it to Howard after the pick-and-roll, but directly chose to attack the basket. The Cavaliers were not prepared inside and were caught. Lewis scored.

The point difference became 21 points, well... not much different from 23 points. No one even mentioned it. Some Cavaliers fans were even in the mood to comment on Lewis's unsightly breakthrough gesture.

No one thought this was the beginning of a comeback, but this ball really kicked off the Magic's comeback in the second half!

That's right!

Just like the first game, the Magic woke up again in the third quarter!

This comes from a change in tactics. After Warcraft's pick-and-roll and singles were fatally targeted, the Magic remained calm and made adjustments immediately during the game.

The more obvious change is that after the Magic pick-and-roll, the proportion of ball carriers attacking the frame directly began to increase. The ball is no longer just targeted at Howard, but uses his containment ability to feed three-pointers outside the three-point line.

In addition, like G1, the Magic continued to start misplaced singles in response to Varejao's mobility disadvantage. With Varejao, the Cavaliers lost a lot of points.

then…

"The Magic defended successfully! Playing in position, Howard picked and rolled, distributed the ball, and did not give Alston a three-pointer on the inside. Scored! The point difference is back to 18 points!"

"The Cavaliers attacked again, and James hit the ground running. After 3 minutes in the third quarter, the Cavaliers did not score. The Magic counterattacked quickly! Turkoglu, the ball, Howard dunked across Varejao! Oh, Warcraft won this game The first dunk! Varejao can't guard him!"

"Knight timeout!"

"With a 9-0 run in 3 minutes, the Magic narrowed the point difference to 14 points. This is no longer a safe score! The Cavaliers should get nervous!" Smith's voice came from the TV. At this time, Ji Feng was already sitting upright. .

"Damn it, I didn't expect there would be a big drama behind it!" Ji Feng was very excited. Isn't the Magic going to make a comeback again?

The subsequent games returned to the familiar plot of the first game, with the Magic gradually eroding the point difference, and the Cavaliers returned to James playing alone.

The point difference was only 6 points at the end of the third quarter, and the Magic recovered as many as 17 points in the first quarter!

The suspense is reignited!

In the last quarter, the Magic continued to attack the Cavaliers' defense. Although the shooting rate was not high, Howard's rebounds once again showed their power. He scored 6 consecutive points in the first half of the fourth quarter, and all 6 points were scored on second offenses. Varejao was completely blown away.

James struggled to hold on, but finally 3 minutes before the end of the game, the Magic equalized with a goal from Turkoglu!

48.7 seconds before the end, Lewis broke into the penalty area and passed the ball from the left side. Turkoglu's three-point shooter fell. The score of the two teams came to 93-93!

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire stadium was suffocating. The fans supported the home team in a crazy way, but in the fierce battle between the two sides, the Magic seemed to have taken the initiative!

In the subsequent attack, Mo Williams' shot was blocked by Howard. The Cavaliers grabbed an offensive rebound, but James committed a walking violation and returned the ball to the Magic. Turkoglu led the Magic's final attack. The Turkish forward took the time to cut in with the ball. Facing the Cavaliers' three-man defense, he directly shot and scored the ball. The visiting team took the lead 95-93! ! !

"OMG..." Ji Feng was already stupid at this time. He looked at the score and then at the time. After making this shot, the Magic led by two points, but the time was only 1 second...

"It can't be so miserable..." Reba was also shocked beside him. If the same script ended like this for two consecutive games, the Cavaliers would be the worst in history.

At this time, many Cavaliers fans were already a little desperate. Many fans looked at the sky and began to pray, with their cameras focused on James.

The last second!

Pavlovich ran out to take away the defense. James first ran into the penalty area, then escaped from Turkoglu's defense and came out to receive the sideline ball from the left side of Mo Williams. The Cavaliers brother got up at the top of the arc. Just a three-point shot! The ball drew a high arc and fell into the net! This is a buzzer-beating shot!

Changed fate against fate.
