In addition to the reason that there is no way out, there is another reason why the Cavaliers players may play hard in this game, and that is: they cannot be swept!
Everyone is a professional player, and they are all young men in their twenties, and the oldest is only in his thirties, which is the age when they are competitive!
Sweeped by your opponent?
impossible!
You always have to have face when you are a human being!
Don’t fight over the steamed buns over the breath!
It doesn't matter whether we lose the series or not, we can't be swept by the Warriors no matter what!
Being able to meet in the finals shows that there is not much difference in strength between the two teams.
In this case, we can’t let others control us!
It’s OK to lose, but it’s not OK to be insulted!
There are many people who think like this.
In short, no matter what the reason is, the Cavaliers may still play hard in this game.
Therefore, before the game, Deng Fang repeatedly told the players that they must not be careless in this game and must not relax their vigilance!
You have to fight like the last game!
Forget about the big score, don't think about the championship, go for it, go for it, no matter what the score is, play every round with all your strength!
Regardless of whether you are ahead or behind, you must go all out!
When the opportunity arises, he shoots decisively. When his opponent pounces outside, he rushes inside to score!
If your opponent doesn't call for a foul, you can strike boldly in the next round. Don't be afraid of the referee's whistle!
In short, don’t relax and don’t underestimate the enemy!
The warm-up was over and the game started soon.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup was the same as the previous game, with Mo, Gibson, Anthony Parker, James and Jamison.
Since you want to make the game exciting, you must put on an offensive lineup!
Facts have proved that the Warriors' offense is difficult to defend!
At least that's not possible with the Cavaliers' current lineup.
Moreover, the improvement of defense is very slow and requires a lot of training and running-in.
It's difficult for a team's defense to get better in the short term.
This is not the case with offense.
The offense is explosive and has a certain degree of contingency.
My hand feels good today, but I can't do anything about it. What can you do to me?
Who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?
Who knew I couldn't eat dumplings today?
Especially when there is no retreat and no psychological burden, it is more likely to achieve an incredible hit rate!
In addition, there is another reason, and that is the issue of morale.
Defense mainly depends on the players' hard work, which has a lot to do with the players' willingness.
But now the team is lagging behind by a huge margin, with its back against a cliff, and no one has any hope of winning.
In this case, if you continue to fight against your opponents and grind out ball after ball, the morale of the team will be very problematic.
Once they start running and shooting, the players will forget about the big score, and only in this way can they perform exceptionally.
As soon as the score becomes close and the rhythm slows down, everyone will start to think about life: Does it make sense for me to fight like this?
Can this game still be won?
If you lose again, go home and fish!
If you lose the series, you won’t get any data even if you beat yourself like this, so why bother?!
As long as the game slows down and enters a tug-of-war, the mentality of the team lagging behind by a big score will inevitably be affected.
So the Cavaliers still put on an offensive lineup.
The Warriors' starting lineup is Curry, Azubuike, Belinelli, Prince and Lopez.
The only change was Belinelli replacing Lagaber.
There is no way, Lagabel has been suspended and cannot compete in this game.
If Lagaber doesn't play, the one who cooperates most with the starting lineup is Belinelli.
Belinelli's problem is that his defense is not very good, but his offense is still good, especially three-pointers. Belinelli is second only to Curry on the team.
