Chapter 967 No Miracles
Lost two games in a row in Oklahoma City, but the criticism of the Cavaliers' home bass is actually very little.Indeed, the cards in his hand were not good enough. Even the 4-star Warriors were swept away by the Thunder Gentleman. If the Cavaliers can win one game, they have already overfulfilled the task.
Some Cavaliers fans are dissatisfied with Bass that he conducted crazy small ball experiments throughout the season, but never focused on defense. As a former defensive assistant, it is rare for someone like him to forget his old profession.It seems that other than fucking James, he just cooks chicken soup.In this regard, he is exactly the same as his teacher He Dou.
Chicken soup is very effective when the morale of the team is low and when everyone is hungry.But when everyone has already eaten, when everyone is often drinking, the effect is minimal.No matter how good something is, eating too much will make you tired, not to mention that your chicken soup is not a super tonic.
The Cavaliers have lost two games in a row, and Bass is still cooking chicken soup for everyone, but even the team boss James knows that there is no hope for this round of the series.
Generally, if the downdog team wants to beat the upper team, the condition that needs to be met is that the downdog team has a local matchup advantage, and then there is an X factor.The local matchup advantage of the Cavaliers is too small, and there is only James alone.You must know that there are 5 positions on the field, and with the substitution rotation, the general team rotation in the finals is 7-10 people.
Originally, JR was a nerve knife, which was regarded as an X factor, but now the decline in both offensive and defensive ends of this product is so large that it no longer has such functions.
All that's left is James...
With James alone, it is impossible to overthrow such a thunderstorm.Replace JR with Michael Jordan at his peak, and the two teams may be able to wrestle.
On June 6, Game 8 of the Finals will be held at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
There is a huge James poster outside the Quicken Loans Center arena. For this team, the son of Akron helped win the championship in the 2015-16 season, and James, a local, is also on this team totem.
Cavaliers fans can think about it, and they don't have any hope for the championship, they just hope that James can stay next season.This team's appeal in the free market is too poor. If James leaves, those who came with him will also choose to leave. It is only a matter of time before the team enters the reconstruction.
This is not alarmist talk. If this team removes James, it may not even make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.
In this game, the Cavaliers, who have lost two games in a row, ushered in a change!They removed TT from the starting lineup, put on Jeff Green, and played a small lineup with Love as the center.
Fans of this lineup are no strangers. At the beginning of the season, Bass used Love as the center forward and Jay Crowder, who is 198cm, as the power forward. He used the one-star four-shot directly in the starting lineup.
The original intention of Bass is to use offense to make up for defense. Everyone on the offensive end of this lineup can shoot 3 points. The offensive space is unlimited, and James' breakthrough points can be perfectly displayed.On the defensive end, Love is responsible for topping people, and James sweeps the defense frame of the association.
The idea is good, but James is 34 years old. He originally wanted to paddle in the regular season, but the perch lineup is going to use him to death.
The results have also been seen, Rose and Wade are not suitable, Crowder played very poorly, and later Thomas Jr. made this team's defense the bottom of the league.
Love doesn't want to play center, he wants to play power forward, he needs blue-collar to wipe his buttocks for his urgent defense.But the problem is your defense, who do you guard and I let the guards play pick-and-rolls with the people you guard. Do you have any other methods besides pinching the ball holder?
In fact, it's not that the perch prefers to pinch the ball holder, but because Love on the inside moves too slowly, and delays and defense changes are all penetrated. Apart from pinching the ball holder, what else can they do?
Although TT went to the bench, in fact, the overall height of the Cavaliers on the court remains unchanged, because Jeff Green also has a height of 206cm.
It's just that TT is playing center after all, and Jeff Green is swinging at the 3/4 position.
The Cavaliers have changed their formation to shoot all stars, and the Thunder have also prepared. They are still in the previous lineup, and the center is still a duck egg.
At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers at home were full of momentum, with unlimited space on the offensive end. Love continued to receive passes from James on the outside and fired shots.
The Cavaliers took the lead at the start!Jeff Green's offensive rebounds are not as good as TT, and he may be able to play inside and outside, but he is still a master of transition.
The Thunder didn't make any substitutions. They started to play at a low tempo. They didn't pass risky passes easily in the halfcourt.
Love can't defend against the duck eggs who are anxious for singles ability in the paint. They are eaten consecutively. James and Jeff Green can only help defend.
The Thunder team began to cooperate internally and externally, and began to slowly chase points.
Whether Xie Kai plays JR directly or picks and rolls misplaced to play Jeff Green and Love, he can ask for anything.No one on the Cavaliers can limit him one-on-one.
The rim protection problem of the changed Cavaliers is still unresolved. Love has a very poor sense of presence at the basket. He needs someone to block him, and then he grabs the backboard.
Jeff Green is not a good rebounder, his position is not good, and he was slapped on the frontcourt by ducks under the basket.
The Thunder had a lot of 2 offenses. Xie Kai's unsolvable singles caught up the point difference a little bit, and then overtook.
The Cavaliers panicked and shot more 3-pointers, and their shooting percentage began to decline.
The Thunder took advantage of the opponent's 3-point miss, and after grabbing backcourt rebounds, they either counterattacked directly or stabilized their positions, slowly reversing the situation that was behind at the beginning.
The Cavaliers' opening changes had worn off. In order to attack, the ball returned to James and let him attack.
The Thunder's excellent defense allows them to avoid being pulled away by the opponent when the offense is not going well.And they have a superstar who ignores defensive singles, allowing them to slowly catch up with the point difference when they fall behind with the superstar's ability.
This is the fundamental reason why this team is able to stand here.Without top defense and historical superstars, it is impossible to beat Universe Yong twice.
In the last three quarters, the game began to return to the familiar old road.James was forced to play singles, and the Cavaliers began to rely infinitely on the 34-year-old superstar.
There is still no suspense about the result of the game, but the Thunder won a few points less than the two games in Oklahoma City, but the result has not changed at all.
The big score in the series has become 3:0, and the suspense has been completely killed. Now the only suspense left is whether the Cavaliers will be swept away.
谢开本场比赛又砍下了三双，最终的数据是30分13个篮板12个助攻。这是他总决赛3场比赛中的第2次三双。
