Even the TNT TV station in Chi Chui's settlement had a special program to discuss what method the Cavaliers should use to defeat the Warriors and win the championship.
They invited several basketball experts, and even ESPN commentary - this is not surprising, TNT and ESPN are not only competitors, but also have a good cooperative relationship.
In the language of the Second Second Disease, this means reading it as "enemy" and writing it as "friend"!
Pippen, who is famous for Chi Hei and Zhan Hei, was also invited to participate. Even though he was actually very unhappy with these two people, he knew very well that the ratings of this show must not be low. This is a good opportunity to increase his attention.
Van Gundy said on the show that the Cavaliers are hopeless, and the Warriors must have won. I am so late, I haven’t played in the first two games. The Cavaliers can only rely on the lore in the first game, and lost the second game directly Twenty points, no need to fight.
Pippen immediately refuted, saying that the two teams are hot chickens, and this year's finals is actually just pecking at each other. If I was partnering with Jordan back then, there would be no problem winning this kind of team at [-]%.
This kind of remarks is very outrageous, no matter how the finals are pecking each other, it is still a strong player who can reach the finals. Even if the old hooligans return to their youth and step on the field again, they may not be able to win easily.
But that's what Erye Pi wants to say, there's no way.
Divorced from his ex-wife and took away a lot of his property, coupled with the failure of the investment, Pi Erye is now relying on this income as a commentator to live.Only when the attention is high, the TV station is willing to pay him a high salary. If he doesn't make some outrageous remarks, what else can he do?When salted fish?
Several commentators on TNT were more pragmatic. First, they touted the influence of being late in the game in a fancy way, saying that even if he was standing there, James had to concentrate on him to prevent him, etc., and then began to think of a way for the Cavaliers .
In the end, the opinions of the three TNT commentators are basically the same, that is, they can only make some minor adjustments to the lineup, and they can't lose confidence just because they lose a game by a big score!
Barkley, Smith, and Miller are all professional players, especially Miller, who has only retired for two years and has a deep understanding of basketball.
They really saw that the Cavaliers actually had no way to make adjustments.
Are you going to fight the Warriors?
Isn't that courting death?
Not to mention that they can't make up players with such athletic ability and shooting ability in their lineup. Even if they do, they will use a lineup that has never played at all and has not practiced much to compete with the league's top scorer in the regular season. The Warriors play against each other, isn't this just playing lanterns in the toilet-court death.
The Cavaliers are based on defense and can break out of the East, which proves that their defensive tactics are not without merit.
It's just that when they played against the Warriors, their two slow-moving big men inside were targeted.
In particular, the performance of Ilgauskas can be said to be very disappointing. In the first two games, he was not a big threat on the offensive end, and the defensive end could not keep up with the agile Milicic, and he hardly played. what effect.
Wang Zhizhi's performance is eye-catching, but he also has a lot of problems on the defensive end. Players like Harrington with a range beyond the three-point line and good accuracy are really the nemesis of players like Wang Zhizhi.
Larry Hughes is the most disappointing of the Cavaliers. As a former All-Star who averaged 22+ per game in the season, his decline rate is too fast. To 8 points!He is not even as good as the Cavaliers' rookie point guard Daniel Gibson this year, because Gibson played about the same time as him and averaged 9.5 points per game.
No way, for a player like Hughes who has no basket, once he enters the playoffs, his performance will definitely shrink significantly.
Especially being late is very smart. He is not afraid of confrontation. He deliberately let Hughes half a step when defending Hughes, so that he can't make a good breakthrough. He can only choose to shoot in a way he is not good at, and his efficiency will naturally be lower. up.
The ratings of this program held by TNT are very high. American supports the Cavaliers, but in fact they can’t come up with a good solution. It can only be said that the Cavaliers must believe in the way they usually train and play their own style. , not without chance.
In fact, after discussing with Mike Brown, James also believed that the team should stick to the established tactics and not easily make large-scale adjustments to the team lineup just because they lost a game.
They can only suppress the rhythm, and at the same time strengthen the defense against lateness, limit the passing and receiving cooperation between him and his teammates, and reduce the offensive power of the Warriors.
After moving to Oracle Arena, the Cavaliers did exactly that.
But what greeted them was a miserable defeat.
In the G3 game, at least half of the fans in the Oracle Arena were Chinese. Amidst the cheers and cheers from these fans, the late arrival rarely played a super tough performance.
He frequently played pick-and-roll cooperation with Harrington and Milicic, as long as there was a momentary opportunity, he would shoot immediately.
And he also reduced the number of times he tried to break through the inside line. With two big men inside the line, Ilgauskas and Wang Zhizhi, it would be difficult for him to break through the inside line and score. It would be better to throw a three-pointer from the outside.
And Ilgauskas really couldn't save to defend the pick-and-roll, and Wang Zhizhi's foot movement was not fast enough, which made it difficult for James to make effective restrictions when the defense was late.
Although he "felt bad" late today and "only" had 25 of 13 data, he still scored more than [-] points with his precise three-pointers and few free throws.
The outside players of the Cavaliers are very desperate on the defensive end and run very actively, but they can't stand the two big men on the inside. It often happens that four or even five of the Warriors are on the outside, walking the three outside players of the Cavaliers. Don't want it.
The sudden burst of lateness forced James to focus more on the defensive end, which affected him offensively.
The three-pointer, which could have been used as a conventional weapon, was also because James was eager to catch up with the score, which caused his mentality to be a little out of balance and out of standard.
But the Warriors still guard against James, just to prevent him from easily hitting the basket and scoring. As for James shooting three-pointers-if you can kill my Warriors, I admit it.
Fortunately, Wang Zhizhi still maintained an amazing state. In this year's finals, Wang Zhizhi seemed to have unlocked the gene lock. The accuracy of three-pointers can even be compared with being late. Even because of his superhuman height, he It is very difficult to be defended when shooting from the outside.
It is precisely because of Wang Zhizhi's outstanding performance that the Cavaliers were barely able to hold on to the score in the first three quarters, preventing the gap between the two sides from widening too much.
But in the critical first half of the fourth quarter, James - he became invisible!
This was the last chance for the Cavaliers to catch up with the score, but James did nothing for almost five minutes, and he only scored two points for the team.
During this time, as long as there is someone in front of him, he will immediately choose to pass the ball.
Without the team's most important pillar, without James' voice on the court, the Cavaliers were in disarray.
Only Wang Zhizhi is still working hard. During this period of time, he shouldered the heavy burden of the team's offense and made many shots from the outside to help the team score.
But after all, his talent potential is limited. Even if he unlocks the gene lock, at this time, he is still hard to beat with two fists.
In the end, the Warriors played a scoring frenzy during this period, opened up the point difference again, and won the third game of the finals.
After the game, some media criticized James for not being a qualified leader. His invisibility at critical moments was the biggest reason for the Cavaliers' defeat.
James didn't say anything about it, as if he didn't see the criticism of him from the media at all.
In fact, as the favorite of heaven, James has always been a smart man. Compared with a paranoid like Kobe, James is more rational, but this also affects his ability to play key balls at critical moments.
Not only now, even in the future, James will often disappear suddenly at critical moments.
No one knows what James is thinking, but the Cavaliers have been pushed to the edge.
Fortunately, the Cavaliers pulled back a game in the fourth game, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was not the Cavaliers who "won" the game, but the Warriors themselves who gave away the victory.
Today's Warriors feel cold, their outside shooting rate is appallingly low, in addition to being late and relying on the pick-and-roll with teammates to still maintain an amazing shooting rate compared to ordinary people, like Harrington, Roy In this way, players with an overall three-point shooting rate of more than 40% in the season, today, all of them shot less than 20%!
This allows the Cavaliers to safely and boldly shrink to the inside. Ilgauskas and Wang Zhizhi are not moving fast enough, and the weakness of not being able to expand the defense to the outside is no longer a weakness.
Moreover, the Warriors' cold touch on the outside even extended to the inside. Milicic and Harrington's offense in the middle distance also repeatedly hit the wall.
This led the Warriors to choose to attack the basket more, and Ilgauskas and Wang Zhizhi took advantage of their height, effectively limiting the Warriors' offensive momentum.
The two sides played a low score in this game. The Cavaliers only scored 85 points in the end, and the Warriors only scored an astonishing 79 points!
Among the Warriors' 79 points, one person who was late scored 48 points!
He has tried his best. When facing James' close defense, Late used the pick-and-roll with his teammates to slowly find his own offensive rhythm, but he was cheated to death by his teammates' cheating shooting percentage.
But the Cavaliers did not cheer for the victory in this game. After four consecutive games, both sides have actually adapted to each other's style of play.
All Cavaliers players know that they can't continue like this, otherwise they won't win this year's championship. Even if the team's tactics can't be changed, the team's lineup must be adjusted.
