When it comes to the final step of the finals, neither team will try again, and everyone wants to take the lead in the series. According to media statistics, the team that led 2-0 in the finals ended up with 86.1% of the teams winning the championship, so it can also be seen that in the case of falling behind 0-2, it is definitely a difficult thing to reverse.

However, there are always some teams that have done some things that ordinary people can't reach, so they can go down in history. The five teams listed below have faced the danger of falling behind 0-2 in the finals, but they have all completed the reversal in the end. So let's take a look at these 5 teams, who were they playing against? What kind of performance did they play at the end of the series to complete the comeback!

5. Bucks (2021 Finals 4-2 Suns)

After 47 years, the Bucks finally returned to the Finals stage, but they failed to show their true strength in the first two games, and they lost two consecutive away games and were forced to the edge of the cliff by their opponents. Fortunately, after returning to the home court, the Bucks still found their form in time, and Brother Alphabet scored 41 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the team to pull back a city. At the end of the third quarter of the fourth game, the Bucks fell behind by six points, but this time it was Middleton who saved the team, and he scored 14 points in the final quarter to help the team complete the comeback.

The battle of Kings Mountain and the Bucks' big three each played their own games, with Brother Alphabet 32 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Middleton 29 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and Holiday 27 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and the Suns could not resist their offensive this time. In the last game, Brother Alphabet, who was only one step away from winning the championship, completely broke out and played the best performance of his playoff career, integrating offense and defense throughout the game, blasting 50 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks to lead the team to win the second championship trophy in team history.

4. Cavaliers (2016 Finals 4-3 Warriors)

G1 and G2 combined, the Cavaliers lost by a total of 48 points, and at the time it looked like they were no match for the Warriors. Although the Cavaliers returned home to win a game back in G3, before the fans could celebrate, the Cavaliers lost G4 by 11 points. At this point, the Cavaliers who fell behind 1-3 were completely in a desperate situation, and no one was optimistic that they would be able to turn the tables at that time, and the result of ESPN's analysis of various data was that the Cavaliers only had a 3% probability of being able to reverse.

However, the Cavaliers did not lose confidence, and under the leadership of James and Irving, they played a beautiful turnaround battle in G5, in which Zhan Ouhe scored 82 points, 19 rebounds, 13 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks, and broke the Warriors on both offensive and defensive ends. G6 returned to the home court to prove to the home fans, James continued the hot feeling of the last game, he cut 40+ back-to-back, and also handed out 11 assists (only 1 turnover), and he also scored 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks on the defensive end.

At this time, whether the Cavaliers can completely make a name for themselves depends on the battle of life and death in G7, if they win, they will become the first team in the history of the Finals to fall behind 1-3 but complete the reversal. In the face of the Cavaliers' counterattack, the Warriors' Dream Green ushered in an explosion, as a defensive giant, G7 slashed a quasi-triple-double of 32 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists with a 73.3% shooting rate. However, the Cavaliers did not dare to show weakness, James got 27 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, and Irving also contributed 26 points, and completely changed the momentum of the game with a sword at a critical moment.

3. Heat (2006 Finals 4-2 Mavericks)

The first two Mavericks relied on the play of Terry and Nowitzki to completely dominate the game, winning two consecutive games by double digits. The successive losses made the Heat re-examine themselves, especially O'Neal, who knew that he could no longer lead the team, so he took the initiative to find Wade and told him that if the team wanted to win next, he had to step up and show the momentum and performance of the team leader.

And Wade did not live up to the trust of O'Neal and the team, and in the last four games, he scored a game-high score in each of the last four games. At that time, Wade was young and vigorous, and he used super impact and comprehensive offensive skills to completely penetrate the opponent's defense. G3 Wade 42 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, G4 cut 36 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, G5 exploded 43 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 21 free throws, and G6 cut 36 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks.

2. Trail Blazers (1977 Finals 4-2 elimination of 76ers)

After losing G1 and G2, the third game returned to the home court, and the Trail Blazers set off a climax of counterattack with a 22-point victory, in which Bill Wharton cut 20 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, and became a big contributor to the team's victory. The Trail Blazers, who are getting better and better, continued to "flatten" the 76ers in G4, and six of them scored double-doubles to tie the series by 32 points at home.

These two games can be said to have directly stunned the 76ers, although the battle of Tianwang Mountain returned to Philadelphia, but at this time they have lost the belief in winning, so they are almost 20 points behind after the third quarter, although they have a tendency to fight back in the final quarter, but the hole dug in front is too big, and in the end it is also a failure, the Trail Blazers are still the main team basketball, the starting five all scored double-doubles, and Wharton got a big double-double with 14 points and 24 rebounds.

In the last game, the 76ers dug themselves a big hole of 12 points behind at halftime, and their defense allowed the Trail Blazers to score 40 points in the second quarter, and although the team has been trying to catch up in the second half, the Trail Blazers still stabilized the advantage to the end, and Wharton once again became the most brilliant player in the game, he cut a quasi-quadruple-double of 20 points, 23 rebounds, 7 assists and 8 blocks in a single game.

1. Celtics (4-3 elimination of Lakers in the 1969 Finals)

This season, the yellow-green battle was staged in the Finals for the second year in a row, and the Lakers, who lost 2-4 to the Green Army the previous year, were determined to get revenge this time, and they also traded the ancient god Chamberlain before the start of the season. After the Finals began, the Lakers played at a very high level in the first two games, especially the star Jerry West, who first hit 50+10 in G1 and 41 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists in G2.

After returning to their home court in G3, the Celtics finally woke up, and five of them scored double-doubles throughout the game, including Havlicek's game-high 34 points, in addition to 13 rebounds and 7 assists. G4 both sides staged a defensive battle, both sides failed to score more than 90 points, Jerry West scored 40 points alone in order to help the Lakers win, and Chamberlain even grabbed 31 rebounds in the whole game, but the Green Army side of the 4 scored double-doubles, Havlicek and Siegfried combined to contribute 41 points, while Russell grabbed 29 rebounds, and under their leadership, the Green Army equalized the score.

However, the Green Army also did not take advantage of this momentum to close the series, and West once again broke down the Green Army's defense with a performance of 39 points and 9 assists, and Chamberlain also dominated the rebounding as always, with 31 rebounds more than Russell and Havlicek combined. But even after falling behind 2-3, the Green Army did not give up, and the old Nelson of G5 became a surprise man, scoring a team-high 25 points to help the team win.

G7 West once again contributed a super performance, with a big triple-double of 42 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, and Chamberlain also scored 18 points and 27 rebounds, but in the end, the Celtics still relied on more players to score double-doubles, among which Havlicek, Bryant, and Jones combined to score 70 points to lead the team to complete the big comeback.
