Once the Warriors double attack, James can't move in!
Not to mention that if you forcefully walk in, you will hit someone and be called for an offensive foul. Even if you look at the arms waving in front, you will know that it is very unwise to forcefully walk in.
We all have the same body, no matter how powerful you are, you are only one person!
No matter how skillful your dribbling is and how good your strength is, it is enough for two or three people!
One versus two is an unwise choice!
One against three is stupid!
But James doesn't have to go in and score.
The purpose of rushing in is to compress the Warriors' defensive formation in order to create shooting space for teammates.
As soon as the Warriors double-teamed James, he immediately passed the ball to the outside.
The Warriors attacked very resolutely, and the Cavaliers had a lot of space on the outside.
This time it was Gibson of the Cavaliers who received the basketball.
Gibson's three-pointers are still very reliable, especially in the regular season.
Gibson's three-point shooting during this period before the finals was not very good. He was also the least three-point threat among the players on the court.
But no matter what, he is still a shooter!
A wide-open three-pointer should still be no problem.
However, all shooters have the same problem, which is that they must feed him a lot of balls.
No matter which team you are on, as long as there is a shooter on the field, generally speaking, the opening tactic is to let the shooter run without the ball first, and other people will cover the shooter and create open shooting opportunities for the shooter.
Why is this?
Because all shooters are fed.
No matter how accurate a shooter is, if he cannot get the ball for a long time and occasionally give him the ball, it will be difficult for anyone to throw the ball into the basket.
As long as a real shooter scores a goal, as long as it feels like it is coming, there will be a series behind it!
As long as the shooter misses the shot, his running can greatly stretch the opponent's defense, destroy the opponent's defensive formation, and create better scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Although Gibson's open shots are relatively reliable, he hasn't touched the ball for a long time, let alone shot!
In fact, from the second half of the first quarter, the Warriors locked up the Cavaliers' outside shooters.
Why let James shoot?
Just for this!
The Cavaliers haven't had an opportunity to take an open shot on the outside for a long time.
Even the most accurate shooter still needs to be fed!
Gibson, who suddenly received the ball, was obviously hesitant.
To invest or not to invest?
Logically speaking, the big gap should be shot.
But I haven’t shot for a long time and my hands are cold. Can I throw this ball in?
After hesitating for a while, Gibson finally threw the ball.
This is the blame thrown by the boss... no, the ball was passed over!
As long as you want to stay with the Cavaliers, you have to shoot even if someone is defending you!
How can you get assists if you don't catch and shoot?
What’s more, there’s a huge gap!
As expected, the basketball hit the rim and bounced out.
The backboard of this kind of three-point shot often bounces very far.
The Warriors grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a fast break.
Azubuike was very active. He was the first to run to the frontcourt, received the basketball and dunked.
Two points easily won!
The game continues.
The Cavaliers' strategy is to double-team Curry and let others shoot.
The warrior's strategy is the same.
The difference is that everyone else in the Warriors took many shots in the first half, while the Cavaliers didn't have an open shot from the outside for a long time.
This is also why the Warriors dare to flank James.
In the first half, James was allowed to shoot three-pointers in order to lock down the Cavaliers' perimeter and not give them a chance to take action.
Now the Cavaliers are behind by a big score and their morale is low. Suddenly they receive the ball from the outside and they will definitely not feel confident when shooting.
The Warriors were just the opposite, leading by a big score. Every player was very relaxed. They got a lot of shooting opportunities in the first half and were feeling hot.
Of course, there is another reason why the Warriors did this, and that is to have more confidence in their outside shooting.
In fact, in the second quarter, James could also rush in. If he had to do this, the Warriors could only attack from a flank.
The Cavaliers' defense against Curry is also a double-team attack, so the final competition between the two teams is the quality of outside shooters, which one has a higher three-point shooting percentage between James and Curry's teammates.
You must know that the Warriors' team's three-point shooting percentage ranks first in the league, and it is far higher than the second place.
If you dare to rush in, we will attack you from a flank!
We are not afraid of passing out and shooting three-pointers from the outside!
Anyway, we will have an open three-point opportunity from the outside for a while.
Shoot three-pointers in the game, and the Warriors are not afraid of any team!
They are fully confident in their shooting, so the Warriors dare to double-team James!
Of course, James didn't do this in the first half.
One reason is that James felt very good in the opening game and his three-point shooting percentage was very high.
You let me shoot and give me a chance to shoot a three-pointer in a wide open space, and my touch is good, then I will shoot it for you!
I'll throw it until you're scared, stick to the defense, and once the defense comes out, I'll break in. Wouldn't it be easier that way?
In addition, there is another reason, that is, James wants to compare with Curry.
Behind with a big score of 0:3, there is no suspense in this series.
Sooner or later, we will lose. Since this is the case, we might as well make our data look better.
I lost the series, but my personal data is better than Curry!
As long as you get more points, more assists, and better statistics, even if you lose the final series, you will still be a lone hero!
The Cavaliers lost, but James did not lose!
James is so awesome, he has no choice but to team up with CBA!
James, a genius, has no choice but to meet such a rubbish teammate. It is a pity to stay in the Cavaliers. James should leave here!
If James doesn't leave the Cavaliers, his talents will be buried!
Who said Curry is the only one who can shoot three-pointers? James's three-pointers are just as good.
Curry's three-pointers are only accurate in the regular season, James's three-pointers are even more accurate in the finals!
The more critical the moment, the more accurate James is!
James can shoot three-pointers!
James' data is better!
James lost only because his teammates were not good!
In short, as long as there are good statistics, James will be fine if he loses!
Now that James has decided to leave, all he wants now is better data.
That's why James shot three-pointers from outside in the first half.
It feels hot and there is a big gap. What a great scoring opportunity!
Who would have thought that after taking too many shots, James' true colors would be revealed.
There is only one Curry in the world!
Everyone can throw three-pointers, but not everyone can do it if they want to maintain a high shooting percentage.
The three-pointer is very accurate, no matter how you shoot it, anyone can do it in one or two quarters.
Not everyone can do it all the time!
The more inaccurate the shot, the more the Warriors let James shoot, and the more Azubuike stayed inside.
The more James is allowed to shoot, the more hesitant and self-doubt James becomes.
The more you hesitate, the less likely you are to make a move...
