What does 2-1 lead and 1-2 fall in the finals mean? Ask James the clearest

NBA Finals are in progress, and the Pacers are currently leading the Thunder with a score of 2-1.

So, what do you mean by leading 2-1 and falling behind 1-2 in the finals?

First of all, a 2-1 lead can only mean that you have a certain initiative, but it does not mean that you have a great chance of winning. For example, James has been reversed many times. In the 10-11 season finals, James' team Heat lost 1 home game in the second game, but won back in the third game and led 2-1 with a big score.

However, the Mavericks then brought Puerto Rico's Grand Mountain Baria to the starter, and the Mavericks won three games in a row, defeating the Heat 4-2 to achieve a reversal. In the 14-15 season finals, James's team Cavaliers won a away game in the second game, and returned to home in the third game and narrowly won again, leading 2-1 with a big score.

However, the Warriors then put FMVP spokesperson Iguodalati into the starting lineup, and the Warriors won three games in a row, defeating the Cavaliers 4-2 to achieve a reversal.

You can see that 2-1 leads is not safe, and there are many people who are reversed! James met twice alone.

I wonder if Thunder has learned something from it? That's right, it's just adjusting the starting lineup! Adjusted the start in Game 4, and then reversed with three consecutive wins.

And falling behind 1-2 does not mean there is no hope. For example, the Warriors and the Mavericks mentioned earlier have completed the reversal. Not only that, James also reversed. In the 12-13 season, James' team Heat lost Game 1 and Game 3, and fell behind 1-2 with a big score, but then they won Game 4 and lost Game 5, while in Game 6 Ray Allen made a god-level three-pointer to save the team. In the end, the Heat won the tiebreak and reversed 4-3.

In the 15-16 season, James' team Cavaliers fell 1-2, then lost another game and fell 1-3. However, in the subsequent games, Green was suspended for one game, Curry left the game with 6 fouls, and Bogut missed one game due to injury. The Cavaliers won three consecutive games to complete the reversal.

You can see that it takes miracles and luck to reverse the situation by falling behind 1-2, such as Ray Allen's three-pointer, Green's suspension, Curry's 6 fouls departure and Bogut's injury absent. Of course, compared to these, it is not as simple as the aforementioned starter change. The Thunder must not think about hurting the Pacers' players or complaining to ban them.

In addition to the above two 2-1 leads and two 1-2 reversals, James has 6 Finals trips, of which:

1 was a 1-2 reversal failure, which was a 1-2 reversal in the 13-14 season, and was 1-2 behind the Spurs. Although he continued to lose two consecutive games, he was eliminated 1-4.

2 leads 2-1 and then wins the championship, respectively, leading the Thunder 2-1 in the 11-12 season, then winning the championship 4-1; leading the Heat 2-1 in the 19-20 season, and then winning the championship 4-1.

3 times I have never experienced 1-2 or 2-1, because they are both behind 0-3, and they are swept twice, and 1 time is swept by a gentleman 1-4. He was swept by the Spurs in 2006-07, swept by the Warriors in 2017-18, and swept by the Warriors 4-1 gentleman in 2016-17.

In general, James has experienced everything he should have. Except for the 2006-07 season and 2018 season, the lineup of James' team is still very strong in the other 8 finals journeys, but the more he loses, the less he wins.

As a comparison, Kobe has scored 2-1 in 7 finals trips.

4 times were 2-1 leads, respectively, in the 99-00 season, leading the Pacers 2-1 and then winning the championship 4-2; in the 00-01 season, leading the 76ers 2-1 and then winning the championship 4-1, 2-1 lead the Magic 2-1 and then winning the championship 4-3 in the 08-09 season, leading the Magic 2-1 lead the Celtics 2-1 and then winning the championship 4-3.

As long as you lead 2-1, you will all win the championship.

2 times were 1-2 behind, respectively, in the 2003-04 season, 1-2 behind the Pistons and then 1-4 out. In the 2007-08 season, he fell behind the Celtics 1-2 and then was eliminated 2-4.

As long as they are behind 1-2, they will all be eliminated.

1 times were 3-0 and finally swept the Nets 4-0.
