127:103.
This is the score in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics.
The total score in the game has become 3:2, and the Cavaliers have got the match point.
After a small celebration in the locker room, the Cavaliers went straight to Boston without even having time to rest.
There, they will play their final two away games.
It would be best if you win the first game, but if you need to fight another game, it will seem a bit tiring.
So after playing this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers took a plane directly to Boston. After arriving in the early morning, they rested until noon and then got up for normal training.
This saves a day's time and makes it easier to adjust to the situation and strive to win the sixth game.
The Lakers have put too much pressure on them. For the sake of their small chance of victory, they can only work hard now.
Sitting on the boss's private plane, LeBron James was very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep.
This year's James is in much better shape than last year.
In other words, because he knew that he would definitely have to fight Shen Huan again this year, he worked harder.
LeBron James is a training maniac, and it is rare to see him going out to eat, drink and have fun, especially after he turns 30.
Last year, James was badly beaten by Shen Huan in the finals.
James originally thought that he was the strongest player in the NBA now, but compared with Shen Huan, he was like a rookie who had just joined the NBA, facing the league's superstars.
James, who has a strong desire to win, naturally cannot bear such a blow.
Therefore, in last year's offseason, James did not even go on vacation, but chose to strengthen training.
As a result, during the preseason, he received news that Shen Huan was about to return in the playoffs.
At that time, James was ambitious and wanted to fight Shen Huan again.
When facing the Lakers in the regular season, the Cavaliers achieved a three-game winning streak. James alone suppressed Kobe, Iverson and Howard, and people exclaimed that the "little emperor" was back.
James' statistics in the regular season also hit a new high.
He averaged 32.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 11.2 assists, 4.2 blocks and 2 steals per game.
Before this year, only one person could average a triple-double in the regular season.
That's Oscar Robertson.
As a result, not only did Westbrook do it this year, James also did it, and he even surpassed Westbrook.
Westbrook is 28 years old this year, which is the golden age for basketball players.
And James is already 32 years old. His ability to surpass Westbrook is simply a miracle.
But the game has reached this point, and before James even plays against Shen Huan, he already has the same powerless feeling that Westbrook had at the end of April.
The reason is simple. After reaching the Eastern Conference finals, the Cavaliers only swept their opponents in one semifinal round, and the remaining two games had a winner and a loser.
And what about the Lakers
All three rounds were 4:0, no matter which team they were, they all had zero seals.
And the worst game was won by more than 20 points, and some even won by more than 60 points.
With such a strong result, no matter who encounters the Lakers, they will lose three points in terms of momentum.
James himself has no fear. Even if he loses, he will still fight with Shen Huan.
But what he was worried about was the mood within the team.
In fact, outsiders comment that the Cavaliers only have two superstars, but James disagrees.
At least he feels that this season's power forward Kevin Love has reached the standard of a superstar.
As a power forward, Kevin Love averaged 19 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, ranking among the top ten power forwards in the league.
With such results, he is actually a strong contender for the best second team.
What he lacks is just an honor, the honor of a championship.
Compared to Ingram of the Lakers, Kevin Love can definitely defeat him directly.
At this point, James isn't worried at all.
But except for himself, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, the Cavaliers' substitutes are much worse.
Tristan Thompson, another backup power forward, sometimes plays center with Kevin Love, and his data is not bad, reaching 8.1 points and 9.2 rebounds.
It's okay to beat others like this, but on the defensive end, he will definitely be beaten by Shen Huan under the basket. On the offensive end, he will also be disabled against Howard, who has been showing great courage recently.
Except for Tristan Thompson, the Cavaliers have no one, and center Channing Frye can only play with the substitute lineup.
People like Shen Huan are so versatile. He can play 4 quarters and 48 minutes in a game without taking a break.
This means that he is included in the second substitute lineup.
The first team couldn't beat him, let alone the second team.
In fact, in the game between the Warriors and the Lakers, most of the losses were due to the second team.
Shen Huan can handle it, but none of their three giants can.
As we all know, basketball is a very physical and explosive sport.
In this kind of sport, there is no player who can play continuously for 90 minutes or even 120 minutes like a football player.
If it lasts about 35 minutes, it is considered a normal performance.
Being able to play for more than 40 minutes is the domain of physically strong people.
Many people may be able to grit their teeth and persevere in playing a 48-minute game, but playing 48 minutes in every game is something absolutely no one has been able to do before, let alone the more intense playoffs.
Now Shen Huan has done it.
He only played three quarters before the conference finals. It wasn't that he didn't have enough physical strength, it was simply not necessary. He defeated his opponent in three quarters.
Moreover, Shen Huan has a very powerful and oppressive style of play.
If other players fought against Shen Huan, they would never be able to last 48 minutes, not even James.
The Cavaliers' second team is a little worse than the Golden State Warriors. What do you want them to do to fight Shen Huan
Shen Huan alone can defeat them all.
They are completely Shen Huan's points-raising machine.
Thinking of this, James unconsciously missed his big brother-Wade.
If Wade were on this team, it would be much easier to win the championship.
Because Wade himself is a single-core superstar who can play in the Finals. With Wade in charge and James fighting for Shen Huan on his own, the remaining three veterans of the Lakers will have to deal with the combination of Wade, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. It must not be able to hold up under the blow.
No matter where he is now, he feels guilty in his heart.
Back in Cleveland, James just wants to bring a championship to his first home team.
Who knew it would be so difficult and tortuous
