Eastern Conference Finals Game 3, the Cavaliers lead in the first quarter!

Cavaliers fans should not be too excited, because this is the first time since the Eastern Conference Finals that the Cavaliers have led the Knicks in a single quarter!

Although…

This leading approach is a bit controversial...

"Damn it, this is too unfair! Curry and Klay committed 2 fouls in just minutes, and it's still useless!"

"Home whistle? No! Black whistle!"

"What a whistle! Zuo Li didn't dare to break through even after being fouled."

"What are you guys so happy about, the Cavaliers? You're only leading by 2 points after playing like this."

"14-2 in free throws in a single quarter, tell me, are you really good at playing?!"

……

Cough!

These are probably the controversies.

But no matter!

Leading is leading!

"Hold on! We definitely have a chance of winning if we fight like this!"

In the coaching booth, Tyronn Lue shouted to the Cavaliers team.

Fortunately, he still had some common sense and did not yell "The referee is in our favor."

But in fact, those who understand will understand.

The reason why the Cavaliers took the lead in the first quarter was that after they understood the referee's standards at the beginning, they began to focus on the Knicks' main players, such as Irving. He was very smart and looked for Curry for one-on-ones many times, creating physical contact through breakthroughs, and thus knocked Curry out in two minutes.

Beverly, who came on next, was obviously a little afraid of the consequences. He has big moves and fierce defense, so if there is contact, it will basically be a call. So Coach D'Antoni specifically told Beverly to reduce the scale and just let him go if it doesn't work.

This allowed Irving to score 10 points in a single quarter, which was also the first time Irving scored in double digits in a single quarter in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this Eastern Conference Finals, Irving's performance was obviously better than James, averaging 26.7 points per game and a shooting percentage of 42.1%. However, his immaturity can still be seen. After all, it was his first time in the Eastern Conference Finals and also his first time facing such a strong opponent as the Knicks.

Otherwise, he should be able to fully understand the Knicks' tactics and his scoring should be higher than it is now.

However, as the game progressed, today, Irving was more calm than in the first two games. He also realized that the Knicks concentrated their strength on locking down James, and their defense against him was obviously insufficient, so in this game he chose to actively hold the ball and play one-on-one.

10 points in a single quarter, a good performance.

But the problem still remains. Irving is still not good enough to lead the team. This means that although he plays well, others do not get the opportunity to perform. The Cavaliers basically rely on his one-on-one play, which is why the Cavaliers cannot widen the gap with the Knicks.

However, Tyronn Lue is not going to let Irving continue playing like this tonight, because he has already tested the referee's standards. In the second quarter, he plans to let James break through with the ball. Just break through, just force a breakthrough. As long as he succeeds in making a foul and letting Draymond and Iguodala play, he will be liberated and the Cavaliers will have a chance!

In the second quarter, James, who played the entire first quarter, continued to play.

Anyway, he has a lot of physical strength, and Tyronn Lue uses him like a donkey in the production team.

James was also very excited. After being frustrated for two games, he finally got the chance!

So he couldn't wait to get ready for his first attack and started rushing in from 2 meters away from the three-point line.

The person defending him was Iguodala, but he didn't even look at him and just went straight for him!

"Come on! Stop me!!!"

James was furious. This time, he wanted to vent all his frustration from the past two games!

At the moment of contact, he seemed to have seen the referee blowing the whistle!

However, the expected contact did not occur. One tenth of a second later, he saw Iguodala's bright smile...

Because, Iguodala had already prepared a retreat route the moment James rushed forward. Just when the two were about to come into contact, Iguodala dodged and moved to the side!

Remove the stool in front of you!

Before Iguodala came on the court, Zuo Li told him that he didn't need to defend tightly and to retreat if it didn't work. There was no need to fight hard!

With this kind of scale, protecting your own number of fouls is the most important thing!

So Iguodala was not prepared to resist at all, but he did not expect that James was so honest!

He really bumped into someone!

James didn't find physical contact and used too much force, causing him to stumble!

"not good!"

James felt that his body was no longer under his control. He tried his best to keep his balance. However, this time, he used too much force and his muscles did not help him maintain his balance...

then…

Snapped!

James fell down holding the ball.

"ONG! James was removed from the bench. Embarrassing mistake..." Kenny Smith covered his eyes and tried to hold back his laughter for a long time.

Barkley and O'Neal were not so aware of this. Although they had received professional training, they really couldn't help themselves this time!

"Hahahaha!"

"Is James thinking back to his football days? What kind of playing style is this? Is it Chinese Kung Fu?"

James, who fell to the ground, stood up immediately and continued to hold the ball, with a very stable expression on his face.

Well, as long as you are not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed!

"Beep beep beep!"

The referee didn't want to call the ball, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't call the ball, he probably wouldn't be able to get away with it, because James ran about eight or nine steps with the ball before he fell. If he didn't call the ball, his refereeing career would probably be over.

The ball possession was reversed, and the Knicks seized the opportunity to let Lou Williams hit a mid-range shot.

This is also the change that the Knicks made in the first quarter. Since the inside line was so fierce, they shot through pick-and-roll!

Tie!

The ball was given to James again.

This time, James also understood that the opponent should let him go and would not target him like in the previous two games.

So he scored twice and made a strong breakthrough.

This time he didn't fall again, he broke through and did a one-arm slam dunk!

"Roar!"

After scoring the goal, James' emotions exploded. He roared, patted his chest, and then took a domineering step.

The Cavaliers fans also gave face and immediately had a climax.

There was booing at one point.

However, the Knicks remained unmoved.

"Steady and steady." Zuo Li clapped his hands off the court.

Do you think this will defeat them?

This underestimates their strength.

Afraid of our defensive strength?

Use hair whistles to punish us?

Ah!

Then don’t defend!

Attack with all your strength!

"Let's see if you can withstand our full-force attack!" Zuo Li's mouth corner turned up. Don't forget, the Knicks started with offense.

On the court, Lou Williams scored again in the chaos, and James also broke through and dunked again.

The two sides launched seven consecutive attacks. When Zuo Li returned with the main players, the two sides continued to tie.

Next door, Howard finally returned, and Tyronn Lue was ready to strengthen defense on the one hand and attack strongly on the other!

Use your own brutality to defeat your opponent's elegance!

I have to say that Tyronn Lue is quite capable.

But he underestimated the Knicks!

How did the Knicks get started?

attack!

Fast break!

The ultimate bombardment!

It's just that this season, they rarely play like this, because they don't need to exert any effort at all and their opponents fall.

Defense has always been the focus of the Knicks.

But now, since defense is banned, it's time to pick up those things.

So that everyone will forget us.

Zuo Li said so.

The first ball after returning, Zuo Li pulled out for a screen and shook off Howard and made a three-pointer!

Afterwards, after Howard's dunk, the Knicks quickly counterattacked, passed the ball with 3 seconds left, and Zuo Li made another three-pointer!

The score has been reversed!
