The Godfather of Basketball

On June 22, US time, the sixth game of the finals kicked off at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City.

The next two games of the series will be played here, home of the Thunder.

The Thunder have home-court advantage, while the Cavaliers hold the match point.

Although it is not a tiebreaker, it is time for both sides to go all out.

Oklahoma, like Cleveland, is a small city. Although the team moved soon, the enthusiasm of the fans here is no less than that of Oklahoma City.

In the crucial battle, the fans dragged their families with them, and there were even many fans crowded in the aisles.

Like the fans in Cleveland, they are also willing to give everything for the team.

The cheers on the scene were loud and overwhelming.

The Thunder's opening ceremony, like adding fuel to the fire, instantly ignited the arena.

Both teams followed the previous starting lineup, and Harden still appeared in the Thunder's starting shooting guard position.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Ibaka jumped and beat Yao Ming, and the home team got the first chance to attack.

Harden dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Durant broke free from Artest's iron gate, ran over to catch the ball and shot directly outside the three-point line.

Artest jumped up to interfere.

"Shua!"

The ball is still hollow into the net.

Paul organized the frontcourt and assisted Yao Ming's mid-range shot.

Looking back, Durant came out to catch Harden's pass and made a strong shot directly against Artest, and he scored!

Durant took the lead in the most critical game and scored 5 points in the opening game.

There was a burst of excited shouts from the fans at the scene.

Durant's touch is so hot, they have a play tonight!

"Sean, pay attention to switch defenses, don't give Durant the chance to catch the ball again!" Tang Tian walked to the sidelines to remind him.

The Cavaliers fouled Durant when Paul hit Durant in the frontcourt.

Made two free throws.

The Cavaliers trailed 4-5.

The Thunder's front court ball, Durant wanted to use the pick-and-roll to come out again, but this time the Cavaliers switched defenses decisively, Battier directly switched to Durant, and the same close defense.

Although there is no muscle collision like Artest, after gaining weight, he is completely worthy of the current Durant.

Durant didn't have a chance to catch the ball several times.

This is also the reason why Tang Tian used the combination of Battier and Artest to restrict Durant from receiving the ball.

Harden couldn't pass the ball, so he had to organize again. At this time, Westbrook had already run back and shouted for the ball.

Harden made a pass, Westbrook got the ball, and the Cavaliers double-teamed up.

The game, after Durant scored 5 points in a row, entered the rhythm of the Cavaliers again.

The excitement of the fans at the scene was suppressed after only one opening.

It is said that it is the players that determine the strength of the team, and the performance of the players affects the final outcome of the game, but tactics are the same from a certain point of view.

For example, Tyronn Lue of the Cavaliers in his previous life was obsessed with small lineups, and even died of the five minors, which brought about the collapse of the team's overall defensive system.

Adapting measures to local conditions and matching moves is what an excellent head coach can do.

In this regard, Brooks is obviously not at the same level as Tang Tian. He pins his hopes more on the performance of the players.

Such a result is already obvious.

Westbrook's talent is very strong, but his organizational ability is very weak, and there are basically not many changes in handling double-teams except strong suddenness.

Durant is the most stable, but he is still entangled by Shane Battier and Artest, and he is still caught by the Cavaliers on the defensive end.

Harden's three-pointers and breakthroughs are excellent, and even the organization is what this team lacks the most, but after the ball is out, it is basically difficult to come back.

Ibaka is more like a free man on the court, except for occasionally covering two shots and shooting two open spots.

The Thunder's four talents are overflowing, but it is obvious that Brooks failed to integrate them into a tactical system.

29 to 19.

19 to 13.

36 to 21.

This is the score in three quarters. After three quarters, the Cavaliers lead their opponents by 31 points at the Thunder's home court.

Fans have already started leaving the stadium one after another.

After leading 2-0, no one expected that the game would become what it is now.

Most people don't want to stay at the scene any longer. The massacre is a good game, but if the side is massacred, it is abused.

More than three minutes into the fourth quarter, both sides replaced marginal players one after another.

Tang Tian also replaced Parsons and Old Hill who were not on the stage, and all 12 players were on the list.

However, the old Carter, who was in excellent form, was also left on the court by him.

When the championship is within reach, it is the best ending for these veterans to end it themselves.

At the last moment of the game, Hill's steal was thrown to Carter who was on the fast break.

There was no defense in front, Carter held the ball, and two steps directly from the free throw line came a signature one-armed windmill.

This dunk detonated the Cavaliers' bench, and also marked the final end of the game.

111 to 86.

As Olajuwon predicted, the Cavaliers did not give the Thunder a chance to play the tiebreaker.

Yao Ming had 19 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Paul had 23 points, 7 assists and 3 steals, Artest had 12 points, and Battier had 9 points.

Carter, who came off the bench, once again scored a team-high 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

"beep!"

The moment the final whistle sounded, the entire Cavaliers bench was boiling.

Before the match, Tang Tian told them that they hadn't done anything yet.

But now, they did!

After falling behind 0 to 2, they won 4 cities in a row, "swept" the Thunder, and won the final championship.

Carter held the ball in the middle of the court, buried his head in it, and didn't move for a long time.

Old Hill seemed to have finally caught up with the goddess whom he had been secretly in love with for more than ten years, and he was relieved at the moment when he succeeded.

Young players like Parsons, Butler, and Morris were even more excited, running around the field with towels and screaming.

At this time, it is the old players such as Paul, Green, and Artest who are relatively calm.

The first time is always exciting and can't help it.

But for the second time, with the experience of the first time, it seems to be much more natural.

Because of this, the heart is more peaceful.

Only Yao Ming stood on the sidelines with a faint smile. Counting him who won the 5th crown this time, he should be the calmest among the group.

Each year's championship will have a different scene, different players, and a different story.

The same is that Tang Tian stood on the sidelines.

"Don, we're done! We've won three consecutive championships! We're the Dynasty team!" Casey looked excited.

Three years ago when he jumped from Mavericks to Cavaliers, he just wanted to change his environment, but he didn't expect to complete the dynasty with Tang Tian!

Really incredible!

Cassel also smiled like an ET at this time. He joined the Rockets in his rookie year, and the Rockets won two consecutive championships. He joined the Cavaliers as a coach (assistant) for the first time, and the Cavaliers won three consecutive championships!

Compared to General Fu, who can compare with him!
