Chapter 682 The miracle reappears, the knight wins for the first time (exactly 5K8)(3/3)
All the fans at the scene stood up and cheered "mvp". Although there was no buzzer beater at the end of the game, it was just as exciting as if it had been a buzzer beater!
In the end, two consecutive big shots and two fast breaks were given to James. The wave of pleasure kept them immersed in it after the game.
Of course, the Cavaliers will not be happy.
At the end of the game, the two teams conducted a post-game handshake ceremony. Cousins could barely squeeze out a smile to congratulate Wang Zelin, but James and Irving left as a formality.
In this game, Cousins had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, which is considered normal performance.
However, considering that 19 of his scoring data came from the second and third quarters in which he had never faced off against Wang Zelin, and he only scored 4 points under Wang Zelin's defense, this made him destined to suffer after the game.
There were questions and arguments from some media and fans.
We agreed to be the second center on active duty, but why are we hiding from him?
James made 18 of 38 shots tonight, and missed all of his last three shots. His personal data was fixed at a near-triple-double of 44 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists.
In fact, his efficiency was really high tonight. After all, in this year's playoffs, James' overall shooting percentage was only 42.5%, and his offensive efficiency was lower than in the past six seasons.
The last time James played such an inefficient playoff game was back in the 2007-08 season in his junior year.
Irving, the last member of the Big Three, made 10 of 22 shots tonight. His outside touch was also average, and he made 2 of 8 three-pointers, the same as James.
Personal statistics are 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and his performance is quite satisfactory.
The Cavaliers gave everything they had today, with the Trail Blazers in a dead heat in the first three quarters, and even in the first half of the final quarter.
Unfortunately, they failed to hold on at the last critical moment and were taken away by the Blazers.
As another superstar in this game, Wang Zelin continues to produce crazy statistics.
Played 43 minutes tonight, second only to James in playing time, and scored a near-quadruple-double of 42 points, 21 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 blocks!
After this battle, he became one of the only two players in NBA history who could score 40-20 in a single game during the Finals!
The last player to perform 40-20 in the Finals was Shaquille O'Neal!
That big shark scored 40 points, 24 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in a single game and 44 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in a single game against the Pacers and 75ers in the 2000 Finals and 2001 Finals respectively.
.
It is precisely because of his various crazy performances in the finals that he will be rated as the most dominant center in NBA history!
Now, the miracle of the past finals has reappeared. I am afraid that the most resounding nickname of Shark during his career is likely to be inherited by young newcomers.
However, even if O'Neal knew about it, he would most likely not take it to heart.
Speaking of which, as a legendary center of a generation, O'Neal's mentality is actually somewhat similar to that of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They both hope that someone will inherit their mantle after retirement.
