Chapter 884
Cavs fans aren't desperate, and neither are their players.In the eyes of the players, although the Thunder defeated the Warriors, this Thunder team is not perfect and can still be defeated.Otherwise, they should have qualified from the West with 12 victories.
But not being desperate does not mean being optimistic. Now that the big score is 0:2 behind, if you lose another game, it will be a bottomless abyss.If you still want to stay on the stage of the finals, G3 must win the finals!
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue is thinking about changing the lineup, he can't do nothing, otherwise he can only bear the blame for the team's loss.But if he changes his lineup and it doesn't work, then he can be said to be the difference in strength between the two teams.I have tried my best, I am just a coach, I can't play in place of players, can I?
Of course, even as a player, Bass was only a role player.He has a ring, and he got it with the thigh of the OK combination in Los Angeles.The most impressive thing about him is the classic scene in the 01 finals where he was knocked down by AI and then stepped over... If he really plays, the effect may not be as good as that of the old Deron who has fallen sharply.
On December 6, Quicken Loans Arena.
A championship banner with a championship trophy and the words "2016" hung over the arena. This is the first championship trophy this team has won since its establishment.This is also the first championship of Cleveland's first major sports competition in 50 years!This is a cursed city, and this championship is indeed hard won.
Xie Kai will not give up his chance to win the championship just because the championship is not easy to come by.This is competitive sports, not playing games. Those who have no belief in victory, it is best not to set foot on this cruel field of Shura.
The home atmosphere of the Cavaliers is quite good. After all, this is a championship team and has entered the Finals for many years in a row.Cleveland is just a small city, and the heavy industrial cities in the central region have declined. Even cities like Detroit have lost their former glory, let alone Cleveland.
If you want to compare, Cleveland should be equivalent to PZH and Baiyin in western China, which are declining industrial cities. They cannot retain talents. Compared with big cities like Shanghai (New York), there is a huge gap.
The Cavaliers are lucky. Although the city they are in is not attractive, their dribbling is good!Especially the number one lottery, it's amazing.If it weren't for the selection of James in 03, if it wasn't for the consecutive draws of Irving, Bennett and Wiggins, the Cavaliers would have no helpers to compete for the championship even if James came back.
In today's league, if one person wants to win the championship, no one can do it.
In the past, the ancients have been bragging that the current alliance is soft and so on. In the past, one person, one city and so on, Xie Kai wanted to laugh.If the Bulls hadn't given Jordan 3000 million a year, if they hadn't found Rodman Pippen for him, you can see if he can leave.
In this game, the Cavaliers finally made a change!They took TT, took Richard Jefferson, and went all out on small ball.In this way, only Love is left on their inside line, and the overall height has also dropped.
Of course, the Cavaliers did this to attack. TT's current role on the court is not only to grab offensive rebounds, but also to do some screens and the like.But with him on the offensive end, it's basically like 4v5. His ability to eat cakes is far worse than that of the opposite duck.Can't eat cakes on the court, and can't open up space on the offensive end. He is making the team's offense easy to stagnate.
But the main problem for the Cavaliers will be on the defensive end. Who will protect the frame inside?Love?Love's frame protection efficiency is not as good as that of James and Jefferson. He prefers to receive rebounds from the backcourt rather than block shots.Of course he can't cover the cap.
When this starting lineup was announced, experts on the Internet immediately said that Tyronn Lue was crazy.
"Cleveland doesn't want rebounding and defense?", "Is LeBron really going to play center?", "God, Kevin Love plays center, he will be destroyed by Steven Adams".
Of course, there are also those who support Tyronn Lue's transformation, some who say he is bold, and some who say he is courageous, anyway.
The Thunder will continue to let Duck and the Turk start as partners.
At the beginning of the game, after the Cavaliers went down in TT, the offensive space became extremely open.Both Love and Jefferson stood outside the 3-point line, a pick-and-roll, Jan Ou rushed in, and there were all opportunities in it.
The Thunder's opening strategy was to shrink and give Love a chance, but he didn't expect Love to be so powerful. "Bang Bang" scored two 3-pointers in a row and stopped the opponent in an instant.
The Thunder came back from a timeout and changed their minds, and the ducks also rushed out. As a result, James started to kill in and scored consecutively to the basket.
The Cavaliers started off both inside and outside, and quickly took the lead.Defensively, they shrunk the paint, bet the Thunder missed a 3-pointer, and then rebounded for a transition.
The Thunder's 3-point start was mediocre, and they didn't punish their opponents well. In addition, Duck's defense was a little slow, and the fast break defense was not good.
The Thunder quickly made adjustments. They decisively took the duck eggs, replaced Gibson, and began to reduce the lineup.Offensively, they started running pick-and-rolls against Love, forcing options.
The Cavaliers' strategy has always been to pinch the ballhandler, press up the line, force the Thunder into turnovers, and then counterattack.
The Thunder's Westbrook and Xie opened the pick-and-roll to instigate, transfer the ball, Gipson went down or from the middle distance, pickled peppers 3 points or stole chickens at the basket, and the Turks waited for opportunities outside the 3-point line on the weak side.
The Thunder's offense came out, and the score was not further opened.
The defense of the Cavaliers is really not good. Even if Jefferson plays and forms a double forward defensive formation with James, it still cannot protect the basket well. They dare not shrink too much.
Without TT, James has become the team's best frame protector and help defender. He consumes a lot of energy on the defensive end, and he dare not exert his strength too early on the offensive end.
Irving was still troubled by flanking. He got into foul trouble in the first quarter of the game. Westbrook continued to kill him, making him replaced by teammate Deron early.
In the transition stage, Xie Kai singled out to take over, forcing the opponent to flank, and then took the lead to form an attack.On the defensive end, they still defend James single-handedly, tempting him to single-handedly and consuming his physical energy.
Although the Cavaliers were still in the lead at the end of the first quarter, the situation of the game was slowly moving in the direction the Thunder expected.
