In order to allow Curry to recover as soon as possible, Deng Fang did not arrange for Curry to conduct any training these days.
Just one request, stay at home and be honest!
Healing your injuries is the most important thing!
The result also satisfied Deng Fang. Curry felt good about himself and could play.
This is the best news for the Warriors!
Soon the warm-up was over and the game officially started.
The Cavaliers' starting five are Mohamed Mohamed, Anthony Parker, James, Jamison and Varejao.
O'Neal was abandoned.
No way, I tried it several times in the last game, and the final result proved that with Curry on the court, O'Neal is just a point-giving boy!
The most annoying thing is that Deng Fang has studied the Cavaliers thoroughly. As long as O'Neal comes on the court, Curry will show up on time!
In the last game, Curry played so little time and scored so efficiently. The main reason was that he found O'Neal's weakness!
The only way is not to use O'Neal!
Don't give you a chance to explode!
Of course, doing this will slap the Cavaliers general manager and owner hard in the face.
I spent 20 million to treat O'Neal, but it turned out to be useless in the finals!
Isn't this stupid or what?
If you make your boss uncomfortable, how can you feel better?
But after struggling for a long time, Mike Brown finally gave up on O'Neal.
Although this will slap the boss in the face, there is nothing we can do about it.
Your own job is the most important.
Although abandoning O'Neal would be a slap in the boss's face, as long as we win in the end, it won't matter.
In the final analysis, winning is still the most important thing for coaches!
Everything else is just a cloud!
So Mike Brown waived O'Neal.
With Varejao, the Cavaliers' defense will be better, and their offense will not be much worse.
Under the Warriors' targeted defense, O'Neal was not of much help to the offense on the court.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup is the strongest lineup they can produce, which is no surprise.
There are no changes in the Warriors' starting lineup, with the same five of Curry and Lopez.
This lineup is both offensive and defensive, and it is also the Warriors' strongest starter.
The Cavaliers may abandon O'Neal, but who can say for sure?
What if even Varejao is abandoned?
The best way is to start regularly.
Maintaining the status quo.
A jump ball in the center circle and the Warriors got the ball first.
It's Anthony Parker who defends Curry.
Mo's defense is so poor that it is impossible for him to defend Curry.
James is under great pressure on both offense and defense. If he is allowed to defend Curry from the beginning, James will be exhausted.
Letting James guard the opponent's point guard is the Cavaliers' ultimate move.
But the reason why the ultimate move is called an ultimate move is that it can only be used at critical moments.
All ultimate moves have a cool-down period, and they also have serious side effects. No one uses ultimate moves as soon as they come up!
So the best defender is Anthony Parker.
Anthony Parker is a standard 3D player, with three-pointers and defense.
Although the three-pointer is not at the level of a shooter, it is still above the average.
The opponent dare not let him go.
Similarly, although Anthony Parker's defense is not at an elite level, it is not an exaggeration to give him the title of a defensive champion.
Curry dribbled to the frontcourt, and Anthony Parker followed Curry closely.
The task given to him by Mike Brown is very clear. It doesn't matter whether you score or not, as long as you guard Curry, it is a great achievement!
Of course, it is unrealistic to completely guard Curry.
But it won’t be too difficult not to give Curry a chance to shoot a three-pointer!
So Anthony Parker is keeping a close eye on Curry.
Curry was very excited as soon as he came on.
After holding back for three or four days at home, he finally returned to the court. Curry was like a bloodthirsty tiger.
Although Anthony Parker was very close, Curry still chose to go it alone!
When he reached the top of the arc and took a feint shot from outside the three-point line, Curry raised his hand and shot!
As long as the feel comes, as long as you make two three-pointers, it all depends on your mood if you want to shoot suddenly!
But things didn't go as smoothly as Curry thought.
With Curry's hand speed, Anthony Parker really can't block Curry's shot.
Although there was some interference, Curry didn't care!
Whether I enter or not depends solely on myself!
However, Curry's touch was not online today, and luck was no longer on the Warriors' side.
The basketball bounced off the rim!
Missed three points!
Actually this is not surprising.
After resting for three or four days, I didn't even touch the basketball. When I came up, I faced a tight defense and shot a three-pointer. It was difficult for anyone to make a shot.
Curry is not a fairy either!
Curry missed a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers got the rebound and started attacking.
The Cavaliers' main focus is the pick-and-roll cooperation between Varejao and James.
Just like last time, the Warriors chose to let James take the mid-range shot.
Lopez huddled inside and couldn't come out, and Laga Bell chased James.
If you can score a mid-range shot, I'll admit it!
But it's obvious that James is ready today. After the pick-and-roll, as long as Lopez doesn't come out, he will take action decisively!
James made a solid mid-range shot.
He doesn't like shooting just because his mid-range shooting percentage is not high and his efficiency is lower compared to breakthroughs, but it's not that James can't shoot!
2:0, the Cavaliers scored first.
Looking back at the Warriors' offense, Curry still chose to make a strong three-point shot.
After one season, Curry is very confident in his shooting.
But Curry obviously didn't feel good today, and he still missed his second three-pointer!
And this time it was even more outrageous, the ball didn't even touch the basket.
This is rare for Curry.
There is nothing Curry can do.
If you don't have the feel, there's nothing anyone can do. All you can do is keep shooting.
The game continues.
Although Curry is very confident in his shooting, he still won't get into trouble when his hand is not good.
If forced investment doesn't work, then try another method of investment!
Find a better opportunity and invest again!
Curry and Lopez fought in a pick-and-roll.
The Cavaliers' defensive strategy is very clear. Curry lets Anthony Parker defend alone.
If Curry and Lopez are playing pick-and-roll, then double-team Curry!
Curry feels bad?
That’s also a pincer attack!
Never give Curry an open shot!
No matter how bad his hand feels, it’s still Curry!
Once Curry finds his touch, the game will not be far from the end!
It only takes Curry a few minutes to end the game!
The Cavaliers chose to flank, and Curry had no choice but to pass the ball out.
Lopez still walked down to the penalty area.
In order to stop Lopez, the Cavaliers asked James to return to the penalty area to help defend.
Although it is difficult to defend the center alone, with his speed and jumping advantages, James can also help defend inside.
It won't be easy for Lopez to capture James alone.
What's more, James only needs to support him, and Varejao will come back soon to switch defense.
Lopez has a very high golf quotient, and he is not reckless either. Instead, he plays the role of a setter, passing the ball to outside shooters when he sees James assisting in defense!
James comes to help defend, the Warriors must have space on the perimeter!
Lopez passed the ball to Azubuike who was open.
Azubuike didn't hesitate, just caught the ball and shot.
