Fans as far away as Cleveland's Quicken Loans Center were concerned.
They watched the team go from overtaking to being overtaken again. This rhythm was extremely painful.
Cavaliers fans hope that James can stand up again and help stabilize the situation like the Lakers' Zhao Chen.
"Zhao Chen's appearance immediately changed the Lakers' temperament. Without Zhao Chen, the Lakers can only be said to be a playoff team, but with Zhao Chen, the Lakers immediately transformed into a championship team."
"Zhao Chen's role is not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. He has blocking, confrontation, and leadership skills, which can shut down the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm."
"This is also the reason why the Lakers didn't panic from taking the lead to taking the lead. The Lakers are now full of confidence. They firmly believe that the victory of this game will be within their grasp."
In the G5 game, even McBrin and Van Gundy could see the Lakers' ease and contentment.
During the timeout, the Lakers were still shouting with confidence.
For them, winning the championship is tonight. They believe that under the leadership of Zhao Chen, the Lakers will win the championship tonight.
On the bench on the sidelines, the situation changed so quickly that Tyronn Lue was a little anxious.
This is a rhythm the Lakers are familiar with!
This is how we lost games in the past.
Tyronn Lue was a little desperate.
Although it was only 2 points behind, the pressure was very high!
The Cavaliers are Tyronn Lue's first team to coach, but they may fall to the Lakers for two consecutive years.
This made Tyronn Lue a little less confident.
Although Tyronn Lue is under great psychological pressure, it does not show on his face.
Tyronn Lue said: "We are still attacking their No. 4 position, and we will attack from this point."
Tyronn Lue insists on attacking Tucker's weakness in the Lakers.
Love nodded, knowing that it was up to him whether he could seize the initiative back.
As for the Lakers, the lineup has changed and is still a small lineup.
The Cavaliers are not speeding up, but the Lakers are going to speed up.
Scott shouted: "Their speed is too slow. We have to increase our speed and use fast breaks as much as possible to open up the score."
Return from the timeout and the game continues.
The Cavaliers attack.
Irving gave the ball to the low post.
Lakers players know very well that no matter how good the offense is, the defense needs to be good.
Tucker defended Love very hard.
Love hit Tucker with his back.
Continuous back strikes to close range.
The subsequent turnaround jumper.
Love just turned over and found that Zhao Chen and Jokic's defenses were in place.
"Fake!!"
Lefu is confused! !
Love didn't even think about passing the ball, so he had no choice but to shoot the ball.
"frame!!"
The basketball hit the back rim.
Cavaliers fans were speechless when they saw this scene.
The Lakers are just setting up a trap for the Cavaliers.
Let Love attack Tucker, and then attack Love like crazy.
The rebound was taken by Rose.
Rose gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen continued to attack at high speed.
Zhao Chen did not want credit, but gave it to Rose after attracting the defense.
Rose dribbled to the frontcourt and scored a layup.
81 to 85.
The score gradually opened up.
"After Zhao Chen came up, the Lakers seemed to be a different team." McBrin said.
"Not only did the Lakers change teams, but the Cavaliers also changed." Van Gundy said.
Next round.
The Cavaliers continue to show their offense is messy.
Continuous offensive attacks were blocked by the Lakers, and finally it was James' jumper from outside the right three-point line.
The ball didn't go in, and Zhao Chen got the long rebound that popped up.
Zhao Chen rushed over and scored with another crisp counterattack.
In the third quarter, the Lakers increased their speed to the extreme. They were all speeding up.
It's not just Zhao Chen who is scoring for the Lakers, their other players are also scoring.
With 3 minutes and 44 seconds left in the third quarter, Zhao Chen sent an alley-oop, and Jokic made an alley-oop and scored the ball.
Looking back, James carried Jokic and made a three-step layup.
Jokic sprained his foot and injured himself when he fell to the ground.
Jokic's injury cast a shadow over the Lakers' win.
The Cavaliers worked hard to chase points and chased the point difference to 5 points.
At the critical moment, Zhao Chen stood up despite the pressure.
Zhao Chen and Harrell's pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Zhao Chen rushed inside. The Cavaliers' defense still attacked Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen continued to send alley-oops.
Harrell dunked with both hands.
James came over and wanted to continue to score inside, but Zhao Chen withstood James' impact.
The moment James collected the ball and was about to lay up, Zhao Chen started to cut the ball.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Chen successfully chipped the ball.
While James was still arguing with the referee, Zhao Chen directly launched a counterattack.
Zhao Chen rushed to the frontcourt, one meter away from the three-point line.
Decisive three-point shot!
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Uh-huh!"
10 points difference! !
Cavaliers fans felt a sense of despair.
It seems that as long as Zhao Chen is here, they can't defeat the Lakers.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Cavaliers tried to counterattack, but failed, and the situation was controlled by the Lakers.
In the end, the score was fixed at 123 to 129.
The Lakers secured their victory.
Won the final championship with a total score of 4-1 in the series! ! !
"Lakers championship!"
"Lakers championship!"
"Lakers championship!"
"Winning the championship, Zhao Chen won the third championship in his career and achieved a personal dynasty!"
"This is an incredible achievement!"
"Kobe won the seventh championship in his career and surpassed Jordan!!"
McBreen was shouting in a series of hoarse voices.
James, Irving, and Love all sighed helplessly.
For two consecutive years, they lost to the Lakers.
They didn't see any hope of winning the series against the Lakers.
There won't be many changes to the Lakers' lineup next year. How will they play in the next few seasons?
How should the lineup change to win?
...........
"In this series, James averaged 35 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists per game, with a personal shooting percentage of 47%. But he was unable to lead the Cavaliers to win the series."
"Zhao Chen once again demonstrated his dominance, allowing the knights who put in all their efforts to taste the bitter fruit of failure again."
"The Cavaliers worked very hard. They were trying to break the Lakers' monopoly on the championship, but they ultimately failed, but they deserve our respect."
"Such a Lakers team is full of vigor, and their core members are still very young. Their core lineup will not change much for at least the next three years. They are very likely to create consecutive championships that transcend the dynasty."
"Two years ago, no one would have imagined that the Lakers would undergo such a transformation."
"The Lakers have undergone transformation after welcoming Zhao Chen!"
"This is Kobe's last game. Kobe is really going to retire!"
Zhang Weiping said the last sentence in a hoarse voice.
There was no crazy celebration on the field at this time.
The lights at the Lakers' home court are all focused on Kobe.
None of the Lakers players stepped forward, leaving the court to Kobe.
Everyone wants to see what Kobe does.
This former genius of the alliance is finally coming to an end!
