On the offensive end, the Cavaliers' four shooters lined up and stood outside the three-point line, while James attacked with the ball.
As long as the Warriors double attack, the Cavaliers will have a chance from the outside.
But the defense of this Warriors lineup is very good!
The one guarding James is Prince. He is tall, has long arms, and is very fast. It will be difficult for James to get past him.
Coupled with Prince's strategy of preventing sudden shots, it is very difficult for James to break into the paint.
He is taller than you, faster than you, has more experience than you, and takes a step back to defend yourself. How can you defeat the opponent?
Of course, James is not without any advantages.
James' biggest advantage is strength!
If you can't pass by with speed, then I will use my strength to push you away!
What, is this a foul?
Sorry, we are the first in the league!
Sorry, I was protecting the ball with my left hand and just happened to touch you...
Several times in a row, James bumped into Prince and reached the penalty area.
Deng Fang complained to the referee several times to no avail.
Fortunately, Prince was calm and did not give up defense.
The Warriors' defense is still very fast.
Every time James burst into the paint, Jordan rushed back in time to make up the defense.
It's easy to stand up to Prince, but it's not easy to stand up to DeAndre Jordan.
Of course, James wouldn't be that stupid.
It's not wise to go up against a big center.
Since you are back to help defend, there will be someone open on the outside!
As long as Jordan returned to the penalty area to help defend, James would pass the ball to Jamison outside the three-point line in the corner.
Jordan was guarding Jamison, so there must be an open space there.
This is the more reasonable approach.
However, the five players on the Warriors' court were in perfect harmony. Jordan returned to the penalty area to cover up, and Prince, who was guarding James, immediately pounced on Jamison.
Although he was open after receiving the ball, he did not have enough time to take action.
Prince is very fast.
Jamison made hasty shots twice in a row.
The result was that none of them hit the mark.
One of the rebounds bounced very far and was counterattacked by the Warriors.
After receiving the basketball for the third time, Jamison didn't dare to shoot anymore. He passed the basketball to James at the top of the key.
James broke into the paint and separated the ball, immediately returning to the three-point line.
When Jordan switches to guard James in the penalty area, James will definitely retreat to the three-point line.
When wrestling with Jordan in the penalty area, James had no advantage at all.
The Warriors' strategy is to supplement defense and switch defense.
Once James breaks into the paint, let DeAndre Jordan make up the defense.
If James grabs a rebound in the penalty area, let DeAndre Jordan get stuck with him.
If James retreats beyond the three-point line, Jordan will stay near the penalty area.
Jamison passed the ball to James, and the player closest to James stepped forward to cover.
Anyway, everyone in this Warriors lineup defends very well.
Even if Livingston switches defense in front of James, his height and speed will not be compromised.
Since the Warriors players have a tacit understanding and switch defenses very quickly, the Cavaliers don't have many open opportunities.
The only open spot is James.
When James retreats beyond the three-point line, Jordan will not follow him out, so James has about two seconds of free time.
But Deng Fang didn't care.
At this time, James's three-point ability is average, so it doesn't matter if he shoots for him.
It doesn’t matter if James feels good!
Who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year!
Teams playing against James must guard against outside shooters. This is Deng Fang's experience watching football for many years.
It doesn't matter how many points James scores, he must guard the Cavaliers' perimeter.
The offense relies on James, and defending James also requires a lot of tasks. No matter how good you are, you will get tired!
What's more, the Cavaliers' worst shooter is James!
In order to guard James, the Warriors spent a lot of time some time ago.
Since the Warriors have had no personnel changes throughout the season, the offensive core and corresponding tactics have been clarified at the beginning of the season, so the offensive tactics do not require much practice.
The Warriors have also been doing a good job defensively.
However, unlike the regular season, facing different opponents in the playoffs, the defensive strategies still need to be different.
Different teams, different stars, and defensive strategies will definitely be different.
What kills Jordan and Kobe is their mid-range, and James' greatest strength is his breakthrough.
So guarding James is definitely different from guarding Kobe.
In the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers, Kobe was the focus of defense. Now in the Finals, the focus of defense has become James.
The Warriors have been preparing for this for a long time before the finals!
This is also the Warriors' biggest advantage.
Four battles to end, plenty of rest time.
What's more important is that the opponent is still in a fierce battle, and the Warriors can calmly observe and study the Cavaliers' tactics.
It's not certain whether they can make it to the finals. The Cavaliers can't deliberately hide their strength just because the Warriors are watching the game and studying them.
Watch videos, analyze and discuss, and practice on the field.
After spending a week doing nothing but studying the Cavaliers, the Warriors players are certainly well prepared on the defensive end.
James burst in, and Jordan helped defend.
James passed the ball, and Prince, who was guarding James, went to make up the position.
If the Cavaliers pass the ball back to James, they will switch defenses.
Anyway, everyone on the Warriors has very strong defensive abilities!
As long as Jordan is not allowed to come out of the three-point line, there will be no problem!
When James got the ball again, there was not much shot time left.
There is no longer enough time to organize tactics.
If he had been replaced by Kobe, he would probably have forced the vote.
Whether you make it or not is another matter, but you have to vote!
As a leader, it is necessary to stand up and take responsibility at critical moments.
Don’t be timid even if you can’t make a shot!
But James is different.
Shooting?
That is impossible!
What a pass!
If the pass is passed and a teammate makes a shot, it counts as an assist!
What if the shot fails?
What does it have to do with me if I can’t vote?
That's teammate trash!
Teammate CBA!
If my teammates are so bad, but I can still lead the team to the finals, doesn't that mean I'm great?
In the final analysis, James still has no confidence in his shooting!
Compared with other stars, the most outstanding thing about James is not his skills, but his physical talents.
Those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, those who are faster than him are not as tall as him, and those who are taller and faster are not as powerful as him!
Finally, someone with similar height, speed and strength came out, and James' skills can crush his opponents again!
He dare not compare with others, but compared with men with physical fitness, James' skills are still very powerful.
As a star who relies on his body to make a living, James' shooting has always been his biggest problem.
It's not that you can't shoot, it's just that your hit rate isn't high.
You can invest in one or two, or you can invest in seven or eight. If you invest in too many, the secret will be exposed easily.
