Chapter 962 Finals G1
Although everyone is optimistic about the Thunder, and the Thunder team is indeed superior to the Cavaliers, Xie Kai still smells a hint of crisis.He organized a team meeting with Westbrook and team veteran Collison, telling everyone not to underestimate the Cavaliers.
The heat must die!There is no weak team that can enter the finals.What's more, the Cavaliers have James, and the offensive explosiveness of this team is still very strong. We must pay attention to it, so as to minimize this kind of accident.
Although some Cavaliers players felt that Xie Kai was too cautious and lacked the aggressiveness of defending champions, most people still agreed with their concerns.It is true that the finals have not yet been played, and strength on paper really does not explain any problems.Everyone is on the same starting line, and the current big and small scores are both 0:0!
After unifying his thinking, Xie Kai believes that the probability of the team defending the title has risen a little.He didn't want to play badly because of carelessness, overreach, and conceit when he had a good hand of cards.Basketball is a team sport, and he can't decide it alone, so he needs his teammates to be in the same rhythm as him to form a joint force so that the team can exert its maximum energy.
The Cavaliers really have nothing to lose. It is close to a miracle that they can stand on the stage of the finals again.They only ranked 4th in the Eastern Conference during the regular season. Except for the first round, they did not have home court advantage.And in the first round, they played a tiebreaker with the Pacers, forcing Zhan with all their strength.In the second round, the Raptors pulled their hips inexplicably and were swept 0:4.In the Eastern Conference finals, they played a tiebreaker with the young Kaizi. It can be seen that the overall strength of this team is like that. The offense depends entirely on James, and the defense is better than before the trade, but it can still only be in the middle. This kind of team with the highest defensive efficiency in the playoffs is completely incomparable.
If the Cavaliers want to win the championship, they can only hope that James will explode again. This is their only hope of winning.In addition, they have nothing else to hope for. Could it be that they are counting on Love, who has pulled his hips for so many years?Counting on Clarkson?Counting on Nance Jr.?Or do you want to count on TT who is being pressed by Kohler Kardashian?
On the evening of June 6rd, NBA Finals G3, Ford Center Arena.
The scene was crowded with people, and the K honey team headed by Chen Guixiang was waiting at the scene early, waiting for their K god to come.
For Thunder fans, the Cavaliers are weak, and the probability of the team defending the title is extremely high. The team is only 4 games away from winning the championship.
Xie Kai, wearing a red sweater today, entered the locker room of the home team through the passageway of the arena. He smiled and greeted the staff of the arena.He has always been humble and friendly, and the Thunder's home staff like him very much.
The reason why Xie Kai wore a red sweater today was because he wanted to get off to a good start.It sounds a bit metaphysical, but it’s not bad to have some fun in life!
When the two sides were practicing, Xie Kai found his former teammate Jeff Green in the Grizzlies, and everyone talked about the past together.Jeff Green and the Cavaliers signed a one-year basic salary in the offseason last year. He did not expect to become the main rotation of the team. In these games in the playoffs, he often played like a giant than Love.
Jeff Green is also produced by the Thunder, one of the earliest "Three Young Men of the Thunder" back then, with very comprehensive skills and superb physical fitness.If it weren't for the fact that the team mainly cultivated Durant, making him miss the best training period, maybe his career would not be like this.
Of course, there is no way around this. Durant is more talented than him, and it is understandable that the team first trains Durant.
The match was broadcast live on Tencent, with Wang Meng and Yang Yi responsible for the commentary.
Wang Meng said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, this season has reached the finals again, which means that the season is coming to an end!"
Yang Yi said: "The season is coming to an end, and our work is also coming to an end. Alas, I don't want to end!"
Wang Meng said with a smile: "Then look forward to playing a few more games in the finals, and we will comment on a few more games!"
Yang Yi said: "It depends on whether the two teams give a chance."
The starting lineups of both sides will be announced soon.The starting lineup of the Thunder at home is the same as in previous games, the Big Three + Duck + Patterson.
The starting lineup of the Cavaliers in the away game is: center - TT, power forward - Love, small forward - James,
Shooting guard - JR Smith, point guard - Jiao Zhixi.
Since using a big lineup in the tie-break against the Pacers, they have continued until now.Cavaliers coach Bass is a very stubborn person. He is young, but he is very stubborn.He likes playing small lineups very much. Obviously Love is an insider who has no ability to protect the frame, so he also let him play center.It's just for the sake of attacking, don't defend.
What's even more ironic is that this guy was actually a defensive assistant for the Cavaliers before...
Although this league is getting faster and faster, paying more and more attention to 3-point shots, and playing more and more magic balls, it has never said that a team without frame protection can become a strong defensive team, and there is no ball in the history of the league. The team's defense is at the bottom and can win the championship.The Warriors play five small lineups, but they have defense and frame protection. Durant is 211ccm, which is actually the height of a center.
Love's past games have proved that he needs someone to wipe his ass on the defensive end, and it is best to have someone wipe him inside and outside to protect him, so that the team's defense will not be too ugly.When Irving was here before, the Cavaliers' defense was poor because there were colanders inside and outside the line. A pick-and-roll from positions 1-4 was aimed at you two colanders, and it was really accurate.
Many teams often call Curry in pick-and-rolls, but in fact Curry's defense is much better than Irving's. It's just that the other 4 players in the Warriors' five small lineup are all very strong defensively, while he is relatively weak defensively and is a guard, so he often be named.
The fans at the scene cheered loudly, the starting players on both sides came on the field, and the game was about to start.
Duck and TT prepare to jump the ball near the middle circle.
TT is actually only 206cm, and his wingspan is not outstanding. He actually played power forward when he first entered the league.But now that small ball is prevalent, he didn't shoot and switched defenses well, so he played center.
At the start of the jump ball, Duck used his height to jump the ball and won TT.
TT's frontcourt rebounding is very good. He has a good touch in blocking and rebounding. He has a big butt that can block and top people, but he has a shortcoming. He needs to accumulate strength to take off, and his continuous jumping ability is actually average, and his wingspan is also average. .Many times, watching him frantically grabbing offensive rebounds, the price is sacrificing back defense.
Since getting together with Kardashian and signing a big contract, Iron Man TT has also started to suffer from injuries, and his explosive power is not as good as before.
