Chapter 966 The Boring Finals
The Cavaliers were able to wrestle with the Thunder in the first half because the opponent didn't fight them to death, and James' physical fitness is still sufficient to effectively output on the offensive end.
By the third quarter, the Cavaliers were exhausted and their offensive efficiency began to decline.The Bass do have few offensive routines. When Irving was there before, they could sometimes play some routines other than singles tactics, such as mutual cover between shooters, consecutive running horoscopes, and so on.But once this team is in trouble, or when the score is behind, their tactics become extremely monotonous, that is, James singles or Irving singles.Or it's Jen Ou's sudden score.
Well now, Irving is gone, and Love is inefficient in singles and prone to mistakes, so the tactics are more simple, that is, James singles, and James scores points.
On a stage like the finals, the fans saw that although Irving had problems with his offensive choices, although his passing vision was not wide enough, his defense also had the problem of defending against pick-and-rolls.But I have to say that he is the top 1 scorer at No. 3 in the league. He can score 40 points in a game. This is an ability that Love and Clarkson don't have.
In the Finals last season, the Cavaliers failed to threaten the Thunder with Irving because their defense was so bad.Their defense last season was historically bad. With such a bad defense, it is almost impossible for you to kill the Thunder, which has top offensive and defensive strength, solely by offense.
The turning point of the game was at the end of the third quarter, James called the police physically, and Xie Kai led the team to a small climax, completely establishing the score advantage.
The game in the final quarter was relatively dull, because the suspense of the game was completely gone.Today's James is technically accomplished and has no obvious weaknesses, but relatively, his physical fitness has declined a bit compared to the Heat period and the young James period.After all, he is 34 years old, and no one can completely ignore the invasion of time.
The Thunder took a 1-0 lead. This game was expected by the outside world, and there was nothing special about it.
James scored a game-high 44 points, plus 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. If they win this game, he is the MVP of this game.
Xie Kai scored a 33+ triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 30 assists. People watching the game will feel that he didn't give his best, and the opponent fell down.
After the game, when a reporter asked Xie Kai what he thought of the game, he acted very relaxed: "We implemented the coaching staff's game opportunity and won the game, that's it."
When a reporter asked him what he thought of James, he said: "His performance is incredible. He is 34 years old, and he can still perform like this. It is really amazing."
When the reporter also asked him to predict whether James would leave the Cavaliers next season, Xie Kai said: "You should ask him, not me."
On June 6, G5 of the Finals will continue at the Ford Center Arena, home of the Thunder.
The Cavaliers didn't change their lineup. Everyone thought Bass was holding back his big move, but this start is still the same.
Therefore, the outside world predicts that if the Cavaliers lose this game again, it will be Cleveland's G3, and the Bass will change.
After the game started, the difference between the Cavaliers and the previous game was that the role players' offense was very resolute!Whether it is Jiao Zhixi or JR, they are very decisive in attacking with the ball, and they have not been looking forward to James' performance like in the previous game.
Perch's intention couldn't be more obvious. It is to hope that other members of the team can stand up and share James' offensive pressure, so that his physical fitness can be saved to carry at the critical moment of the game.
But the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.Without tactical support, it is really not that easy for Jiao Zhixi to fight Westbrook and JR to fight Xie Kai.
JR didn't have the first step like McGrady Corona in his peak period. His speed is very average, and the same is true for DeRozan.Good bounce is one thing, but there is no such first step. If you want to pass others, you need more fake moves and shaking with the ball.
Today's JR is an old man in his thirties, his speed has become slower, and the explosive power of jumping has also declined seriously. It is really a dream to get rid of Xie Kai's jumper by relying on his crotch and back.It might be okay to fight for a few rounds, but if you fight continuously, he won't be able to fight.
Jiao Zhixi's offensive ability with the ball is not as good as JR's. He has never been good at scoring. What he is better at is actually defending.But there was no way, Bass asked him to attack to decompress James.
The on-site commentary was very surprised. Could this be the last trick of the perch?No way, if this is really the case, then the finals should end early...
Of course, everyone knows that Bass has no back move. If there is, the Pacers will not be dragged into the tiebreaker by the Pacers in the first round.If so, he would have brought it up in the Eastern Conference Finals, why would James need to play the whole game and try his best to advance!
Whether it is Love, Jiao Zhixi, or JR, they can't beat their opponents one-on-one, and they can't even guarantee a good offensive shooting rate. The team's offense fell into constipation, and the ball naturally returned to James.
James' game habits, in the first quarter, he likes to pass the ball to drive his teammates, and then take over by himself.But let him take over as soon as he comes up, he himself is uncomfortable, and it is not his favorite rhythm.But there is no way, if you don't take over, the opponent will be in trouble, can't you make it?
The previous problem of the Cavaliers was poor defense and serious aging. Now after the big deal, they have become younger, but the defense has not improved significantly, and the offense has lost.
The trend of the game is very similar to the previous game, but the difference is that James can't score 44 points a game!
In this round of the series, the Cavaliers are basically out of the game. Their more realistic goal now is to win a game and avoid being swept away.
The trend of the game didn't have any big waves. The Thunder just defended against James alone.Obviously, you scored well, played one-on-one, welcome.But it will not drive you to shoot all arrows.
If you hit me one-on-one, I can respond to the attack on my side, and I am not afraid of being killed by you at all.
In the end, the Thunder made another victory at home and took a 2-0 lead...
James still performed bravely in this game. He continued to score a game-high 38 points, but he only had 3 assists...
The Thunder just won't let you pass the ball and force you to play singles. If you have the ability, you can beat me to death by yourself!
At this point in the game, the outside world is no longer interested in the final result of the finals. Everyone is discussing the offseason, including some big fish who are about to enter the free market, the draft, and so on.
