A close battle that lasts until the end, the Lakers die by a mistake
The fifth round of the NBA Finals, where the Lakers won 3 wins and 1 loss. Although both teams showed their true value in the final game, it was the heat that won the great melee with a difference of one possession.
Both teams have a good shooting touch, dodging fierce defenses and scoring at a good pace. The Lakers were the first to lift the tide, with pressure from Anthony Davis and Lebron James taking the lead by dropping a shot under the thermal goal, but second units Kendrick Nan and Andre Igdara. Make a difference and heat closes the gap.
However, with a minute remaining in the first quarter, Davis landed in a rebounding battle and hurt his previously injured heel, and though he returned to the court after watching for a while, he showed off the original explosive performance. I can not. Although he was able to run, he refrained from jumping, and it was clear that he was not injured even though he continued to play.
Still, it was Lebron James who was inspired by the “Buddy” fight. As he stretched his body with the defense, he decided on three-point shots one after another, withdrew the flow that seemed to lean towards the heat, and the offense and defense of equality continued.
In the third quarter, the heat hit by outside shots centered on Tyler Hero and Duncan Robinson came out, but the Lakers showed tenacious defense from the end of the third quarter. He insistently responded to the attack of the heat where the ball and the player moved well, did not open the shooting range, invited a turnover, hurried and chased with a 15-3 streak. In the remaining sixth minute of the 4th quarter, Lebrón’s attack, which already exceeded 30 points, attracted the defense, and from the kick-off, Kentavius Cordwell Pope’s triple managed to reverse.
At the end of the repeated leadership changes, the balls will naturally come together with Jimmy Butler and Lebron. Both ace entrusted to the game will accumulate points with high probability. With 21 seconds to go, Cordwell Pope’s three-point shot, which received a pass from Lebron, missed, but Davis, holding it down, missed under the arc and the Lakers managed to reverse at 108-107. In the last minute, Davis, who is a leading scorer alongside Lebron, showed his presence and the Lakers gained a but valuable one-point lead.
But the heat does not give up. Butler urges Lebron to accelerate. He doesn’t hesitate to attack Davis on the cover because he hit a shot and starts the foul. Butler, who had decided all 10 free throws thus far, definitely decided 2 in this game, and the heat was reversed again.
With 16.8 seconds to go, the Lakers are aiming for a comeback with the final timeout. When leading Lebron draws the defense of three people, he entrusts the ball to Danny Green who is waiting outside. However, Igdara’s shot control who ran from the opposite side worked and the shot was not decided. Marquise Morris stifled the offensive rebound, but Green tried again to aim from the outside, and ultimately did not respond to Lebron’s pass request to decide for himself and sent a pass to Davis under goal, but the breathing was in harmony. For billing without. Davis was very marked on Bam Adebayo and was not ready to receive a pass.
The heat, which survived foul play for the remaining 2.2 seconds safely, won the great melee with 111-108.
Lebron struggled to the point where Davis wasn’t perfect, but he showed a performance of 40 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, but did not come to the victory. Butler, who won the ace showdown, made a nearly complete appearance after spending just under a minute on the bench in the first quarter. He left the statistics of 35 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 steals.
Still, after the game, he humbly said, “I just stopped the opponent and scored as usual. He was on my side. I think it was lucky that Danny Green’s shot missed at the end.” I didn’t break it. The sixth round will take place with a noon rest.
