Even if Irving and Love return with full blood, the main reason why the Cavaliers can't beat the Warriors is that these two people are weak on the defensive end, and the Warriors can make full use of this.
Irving's offensive strength is indeed strong, but the Warriors' defense happens to be good on the outside. Even if Irving can break out, Deng Fang is not worried.
Under the defense of Clay, Iguodala, Barnes, and Green, it is impossible for Irving to break out in every game. If he can really do it, then he will admit defeat!
That's not a human, that's a god!
Love is not as good as Irving. Love is an inside player. He is even more annoyed when encountering the Warriors on the defensive end. And his low-post offensive skills are not top-notch. Green can deal with it. Even Barnes' one-on-one defense is not too difficult. With some points
Assistance in defense is enough.
If you can't punish the Warriors in the low post, then the Warriors can punish the Cavaliers - if you dare to let Love play, I'll watch him!
If you just want to be a shooter, to be honest, Love is not as useful as Jr. Smith.
After all, there is no big problem with Jr. Smith guarding Curry and chasing Klay.
Therefore, Deng Fang was not afraid to treat the two of them, and even looked forward to it!
Of course, after the two return, there will be more people playing in the Cavaliers, but there are also many people playing in the Warriors. Deng Fang is not worried about injuries. Curry, Clay and others are young, so Deng Fang is not worried about this either.
.
After two consecutive away defeats, the media and fans suddenly began to question Blatter's ability.
How luxurious is the lineup of the Big Three, but they have no power to fight back against the Warriors?!
No matter how badly James plays, he is still the boss and a super giant, so he cannot leave, so the only one who takes the blame is the coach!
Blatter is so rubbish, get out of class immediately!
Unless Blatt steps down, the Cavaliers will never win the championship!
Similar voices began to appear in the media and forums, and Blatter's pressure increased.
…
Two days later, the third game between the Cavaliers and Warriors began at the Cavaliers' home court.
The Warriors' starting lineup remains unchanged, and they still have the dead five. What is surprising is that the Cavaliers have changed their lineup, Love is off, and Jr. Smith is starting!
Irving, Jr. Smith, Shumpert, James, TT, two stars, James and Irving, serve as the main and secondary offense, two shooters, one inside, three good defensive players, one Jr. Smith does not stretch his hips defensively, there is only one
Irving, whose defense is poor, is on the court!
Under tremendous pressure, Blatter finally made a change!
James can't move, and Irving can't play, so Love will have to take the blame!
The title of professional scapegoat is not unearned.
Deng Fang was quite prepared for this. He knew that Blatter would use this trick sooner or later. This was inevitable.
Two big defeats in away games finally made Blatter make changes, which is normal.
But Deng Fang didn't make any changes because the Warriors didn't need it.
The Five Little Boys of Death are Deng Fang’s special skills. The Warriors have nothing to change and don’t need to change!
Even other head coaches will not take the initiative to change.
The winner remains the same, this is the truth of the NBA.
The Cavaliers, who changed formations, played very proactively, their offensive speed increased significantly, and their defensive performance was much better than before.
Without the slow-moving Love, there is a good defensive Jr. Smith. The outside shooting ability has not changed, and has even improved. The Cavaliers will certainly play better.
The Cavaliers are right to do this. Although there is one less inside player, the Warriors' strong point is not in the inside, and they have no way to punish the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers were very aggressive on the offensive end and made very decisive three-point shots from the outside. They took the lead right from the start.
Of course, the Warriors also encountered a big trouble, and that was foul trouble.
Curry, Klay, and Green each received two fouls within three minutes of playing and had to take a break!
Irving broke through, Clay made some physical contact with him and the whistle immediately sounded. James rushed into the penalty area and Green came to cover. Although Green jumped straight up and down, the referee's whistle was also thought very quickly.
As for Curry, as long as he stretches out his arm when he comes up to block, James will hit him upward, and the referee's whistle will sound at the slightest contact!
There's no way, it's 5 against 8, it's hard for anyone to do it.
The Cavaliers were very aggressive, and the Warriors were troubled by fouls, so the Cavaliers were wide open on the outside. Jr. Smith, Shumpert and others were very happy to shoot.
Just like shooting training, this is great for shooters!
Obviously, the Cavaliers have made all preparations, including personnel changes and mental preparation.
It has to be said that as a frequent player in the Finals, James is still very experienced. He knows that the league will definitely take action at this stage of the series!
The league doesn’t want the score in the finals to always be 4:0!
If there is no suspense in the series, there will be no entertainment. If there is no entertainment, there will be no ratings, and then there will be no advertising revenue!
The league makes money. If you play one more game, you can earn tens of millions more. Why not do something!
The key problem is that the Warriors can't complain yet.
Have you met anyone?
bumped into.
Is it allowed to blow according to the rules?
Can.
That's it!
Then why did the Cavaliers not blow the whistle for the same action?
I do not see it!
In other words, the situation in which the action occurs is different!
What? Didn’t you see that it’s not allowed? Are there exactly the same actions?
In short, the referee used a magnifying glass to observe every move of the Warriors players, but closed his eyes when he looked at the Cavaliers players...
Deng Fang didn’t have any good ideas.
The three of Curry left the game early, and Barbosa, Livingston, and Bogut came on early.
These three players played well, especially against the Cavaliers' bench, but they were almost useless against the Cavaliers' starting lineup.
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors fell behind by 1 point.
Curry and the other three came back in the second quarter, but they didn't play for three minutes and the score difference had just recovered by 5 points. Curry and Green were called for another foul each!
This is the core of the Warriors' offense and defense!
As expected, the Cavaliers took control of the situation again.
Seeing the score difference heading towards 0 points, Deng Fang gritted his teeth and took Curry and Green back again.
As a result, both of them were called for fouls before halftime!
The score at halftime was also fixed at 66:45, with the Warriors trailing by 1 point.
Curry and Green both committed five fouls, can they still fight?
Obviously it's not possible, and even some fights are not allowed because the referee doesn't allow it!
In the third quarter, Deng Fang gritted his teeth and brought the two men up, but as expected, they played for several minutes and each was called for a foul again.
Green complained too much and was called a technical foul!
Six fouls left the game, and both Curry and Green had to sit on the sidelines!
The Cavaliers became more and more excited as they played, with three-pointers coming one after another, blossoming inside and outside, and the point difference getting wider and wider.
In the end, the score was fixed at 15:98, and the Cavaliers won by 7 points!
Irving made 1 of 8 three-pointers, Jr. Smith made 7 of 10 three-pointers, and the Cavaliers' three-point shooting percentage was as high as 55%!
James made 18 free throws and scored 9 points!
There is no way, no one can defend against such an attack.
In this way, with the help of the referee's father, the Cavaliers got back a game, and the big score became: 1, and the Warriors led by one game. (To be continued)
