Post-match press conference.
Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown said very helplessly when being interviewed by reporters:
“I feel terrible, we were well prepared for this game and we actually had the advantage.
LeBron played at a top level, and such statistics are rare in the entire history of the Finals.
It's just that we didn't expect that Li would hit 4 three-pointers in a row, especially from such a far away position.
Did he hit 2 of 8 three-pointers before? well! I think this may be fate! "
The reporter asked: "What are the plans for the next game?"
Mike Brown sighed and said: "We will do our best, I don't know about the rest."
Mike Brown really had no choice. In this game, everyone tried their best, but they couldn't win the game.
For a game that Foster can't help, it's useless for other referees to come.
Over there with the Nuggets.
George Karl was in a good mood and answered reporters' questions patiently.
"Lee's performance is impeccable. He can grasp the balance between passing and scoring. He is absolutely big-hearted."
“There were a lot of difficulties in this game, but fortunately we won in the end and everyone played well.
AI, Cameron, Lee, Kenyon, Marcus, JR..."
"LeBron scored 51 points and he played well, but we are the better team.
I have also suffered failures in the finals. Experience needs to be accumulated. Mike and LeBron will get better and better. "
After winning the game, George Karl didn't gossip about the penalty in this game. He also said a lot of encouraging words for the Cavaliers.
…………
The major media are full of praise for Li Yan. Indeed, he played such a strong performance in the finals and cannot be exaggerated.
Fans, media, current players, and NBA stars are all expressing their love for Li Yan.
They believe that Li Yan's performance has surpassed "Magic" Johnson, and he will become the youngest FMVP in NBA history.
At the same time, at NBA headquarters, president David Stern is also discussing with executives the introduction of special terms. They believe that Li Yan can become the star of a team.
Back at the hotel, Li Yan was still calm.
After talking to Swift on the phone, he watched the news and game videos for a while and then took a rest.
Li Yan knows the principle that a person who travels a hundred miles has half a mile, and the more critical the moment, the more calm he must be.
The finals G4 started just one day later.
Still at the Quicken Loans Center, home of the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers naturally hope to take advantage of their home court advantage to win a game. If they are swept, they will be embarrassed.
At the appearance ceremony, Li Yan was booed.
The four consecutive three-pointers scored in the last game, especially the celebration of bowing at the end, deeply stimulated the hearts of Cavaliers fans.
What's terrible is that in the past two days, Li Yan's gesture of bowing in celebration has been everywhere in the media, and it has even attracted many fans and young players to imitate it.
They thought Li Yan’s celebration was really cool!
This made the Cavaliers fans hate Li Yan very much. Amidst the roar of "Fake Lee", Li Yan once again bowed in thanks.
All right! Cavaliers fans cursed even more fiercely.
The game started quickly. After 3 games, both sides became very familiar with each other.
The lineups on both sides haven't changed much.
Li Yan's performance in the last game has already aroused enough hatred, and the Cavaliers will definitely not relax their defense against Li Yan.
So Li Yan decided to focus tonight on connecting the teams.
Marcus Camby beat Big Z on a jump ball.
Li Yan advanced with the ball and came to the frontcourt. Li Yan and Kenyon Martin played a pick-and-roll at the top of the key.
After the screen, Li Yan got space and dribbled through.
The knight really chose to stop Li Yan.
Li Yan then handed the ball to Iverson on the other side.
The pass blessed with the "Cake Master" skill is very comfortable. Iverson took off after catching the ball and completed it in one go.
The basketball drew a perfect arc and hit the net hollowly.
3 to 0!
The Nuggets started in very good shape, and their big 3-0 lead put them in a good mood.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers were a little heavy. They played very hard, but the players were obviously not so confident when taking action.
The fans in the stands could clearly feel that the Nuggets were overwhelming the Cavaliers in terms of momentum.
Today the referee's penalty scale is back. Although there is some bias, it is not much.
In this way, the Nuggets don't have to keep jumping from the outside like they did in the last game.
Under Li Yan's organization, they fought internally and externally.
Pick-and-roll inside to eat the pie, cut without the ball, hit hard in the low post, and shoot from the outside.
The Nuggets fully demonstrated their offensive talent.
On the defensive end, there is no foul trouble. Li Yan has a wide range of defense and he is everywhere.
Li Yan's judgment and defensive awareness are top-notch. Coupled with his height, wingspan and lightning skills, he has built an impenetrable line of defense for the Nuggets.
The Cavaliers did not dare to make too many passes and could only rely on James' constant breakthroughs to create opportunities.
In addition to James, Big Z was also very efficient today, and Gibson was also accurate on the outside.
But that didn't stop the Nuggets from taking the lead.
"The Nuggets played great. With Lee's connection, they played with ease."
"Lee is also very influential on the defensive end. He is the perimeter player with the strongest shot-blocking ability in the league."
"The Cavaliers have played very well, and LeBron's performance is still outstanding, but they have no way to stop the Nuggets."
"The game is over tonight and the Nuggets are the better team."
Barkley and Smith were commentating on this game. The Nuggets' performance was impeccable, and the Cavaliers' efforts to resist were in vain.
After three quarters, the Nuggets have achieved a 17-point lead.
Iverson and Anthony both scored 20+.
But today's protagonist is still Li Yan. In just 3 quarters, Li Yan has already scored 14 points, 18 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
With Li Yan's fiery state, not only is it easy to achieve a triple-double, but even "Magic" Johnson's record of 21 assists in the Finals in a single game will be passed away.
The game came to the end, and James was still frantically attacking the Nuggets' defense.
It's just that James is also human, and his impact has dropped a lot compared to the first half.
For the Nuggets, Anthony, Li Yan, Kenyon Martin, and Linus Kleiza took turns fighting to consume James.
James finally couldn't bear it any longer, and even his layups began to miss the basket.
"Ah!" James was still tired.
He yelled, completely helpless!
With 39 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, James gave his best.
Seeing James' tragic end, countless fans were heartbroken. The lone hero is admirable and admirable!
In the end, 118 to 101!
The Nuggets won another away game and swept the Cavaliers with a score of 4-0!
The NBA welcomes a new championship team - the Denver Nuggets!
