A big score of 1: is very dangerous for the Cavaliers, because few teams in history have been able to come back from being behind by a big score of 1:.
After the game, Deng Fang was as arrogant as ever and made some shocking remarks.
Of course, these are basic practices and many people have become accustomed to them.
However, Deng Fang dropped a bombshell at the last moment of the press conference, which shocked everyone: "I am sure that James will behave differently in the next game. I am very worried about the health and personal safety of the core players of the Warriors."
!”
What does it mean?
Unusual behavior?!
The emperor's actions?
Familiar 1: Falling behind!
Is James going to hurdle again?
Or should we say a three-piece set of elbow strikes, hurdles, and egg kicks at the same time?
The emperor hasn't taken action for a while. Isn't it possible that James Hurdle will make a comeback again?
Deng Fang will be fined for saying this!
If James does nothing, can he sue Deng Fang for frame-up?
Sure enough, some reporters didn't think it was a big deal and immediately asked: "What if James doesn't do anything unusual in the next game?"
"If not, I will donate 10 million US dollars!" Deng Fang answered firmly.
10 million!
Deng Fang’s bet is not small!
The reporters immediately became excited.
"James hasn't committed a few flagrant fouls in the past two years, right? Why do you say that?"
"That's because he hasn't been cornered yet. Now that it's the most critical moment, your emperor will definitely take action!"
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the audience.
What reporters want most is to have news and something to watch. To put it bluntly, it’s not a big deal to watch the excitement!
Seeing that there is no more suspense in the finals, Deng Fang's appearance is immediately interesting!
Sure enough, almost all the news during the two days of rest were about Deng Fang’s bet:
A heavy bet of 10 million, Deng Fang spent all his money, and the emperor was in a dilemma!
King James is about to make another appearance in the hurdles. If you want to know what happens next, please watch Qi Yong’s fifth battle!
The league fined Deng Fang heavily, setting a record with a fine of 500,000 yuan!
Emperor James countered by saying that he had never done anything dirty and that what Deng Fang said was all an accident!
Deng Fang has never lost a bet before. I wonder what the result will be this time!
…
Soon, the two-day break passed. At 8pm on June 14, 2015, the fifth game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers started at the Oracle Arena.
Both teams seemed to be in good shape during the pre-match warm-up training.
Big score 1: Behind, the Cavaliers have no retreat, but under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers' morale remains unabated.
It has to be said that James still has two skills in leading the team.
Of course, the Warriors have no problem. They are in the lead, they are playing at home, and they have an amazing head coach Deng Fang behind them. They will definitely have nothing to worry about.
The Warriors' starting lineup remains unchanged, and they are still the deadliest five.
There are no changes on the Cavaliers side. Love is still on the bench, with Irving, Jr. Smith, Shumpert, James, and TT playing.
This is the strongest lineup of the Cavaliers. It has defense and offense. It basically achieves a balance between offense and defense.
When the game started, the Cavaliers were the first to get the ball.
Irving dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Jr. Smith came up to block Clay, Curry stepped forward to block it and then returned, while Clay went around and returned to Irving.
This is a tactic that Deng Fang has practiced repeatedly before the game, and the Warriors players understand it very well.
This move may not seem like much, but it actually tests the coordination of your teammates.
First of all, the person being blocked must make it clear that he is not switching to defend, but that he must squeeze through and return to his defender as quickly as possible.
Secondly, Curry must choose the right direction when he steps forward to block the situation. Irving cannot be allowed to squeeze between the two of them, nor can Irving be allowed to go in a direction away from Clay!
In short, if the screener blocks Clay's right side, Curry will drive Irving to the right. If the screener blocks Clay's left side, Curry will drive Irving to the left. At the same time, he must ensure that Irving cannot move from
Squeeze through the middle!
If there is no tacit cooperation, enough practice, and the defenders are aware of their position, it will not be easy to achieve this.
Fortunately, Klay's defensive awareness is top-notch, and Curry's defensive awareness is also very good.
The only thing Curry lacks is his physical fitness, which is a bit lacking in speed and jumping - of course, the biggest test of defense is physical fitness, so even from an intuitive perspective, Curry has always been targeted by his opponents on the defensive end.
In addition to Curry and Klay's tacit cooperation and good defensive awareness, there is another very important point, and that is the cooperation of their teammates.
Irving and Jr. Smith set a pick-and-roll, and Iguodala, who was guarding James, leaned closer to the middle. Green took a step away from the TT and walked half a meter to the free throw line.
James is not accurate in three-pointers, and TT has no shooting ability. If the two of them don't have the ball in their hands, they can let it go a little bit to help their teammates defend. This is team consciousness.
Once there is a problem with Curry and Irving comes over, Iguodala or Green will have to step forward to help defend and prevent Irving from easily scoring.
As for James and TT, that is a matter for other teammates. The defense must solve the most troublesome ones first, and fully trust the teammates for the rest!
Curry and Clay have good defensive awareness, and with the help of their teammates, they can prevent Irving and Jr. Smith's pick-and-roll.
After blocking twice without success, Jr. Smith had to give up and return to his position.
The attack has a time limit. If one move doesn't work, you have to change it.
James immediately came over to pick and roll with Irving. The Warriors' defensive strategy was different this time. Clay and Iguodala chose to switch defenses.
Klay's defense against James isn't a big problem. The effect is similar to Iguodala's, so it doesn't matter how he defends him.
Seeing the Warriors switch defense, Irving immediately handed the ball to James.
James glanced at Clay, bent down and rushed inside.
Clay was well prepared and stepped back to block James.
In terms of footwork alone, Clay is not slow, nor does he suffer much in terms of strength. It is impossible for James to break through.
Green in the penalty area is also watching eagerly, ready to come to help defend at any time.
Seeing that he couldn't break in, James had no choice but to come out and organize the attack again.
But with only 5 seconds left, James took two dribbles and had to throw the ball to Jr. Smith.
Jr. Smith didn't take it seriously, just picked up the ball and threw it!
The emperor threw the blame, and then it happened!
Curry was well prepared. Jr. Smith straightened his arms the moment he caught the ball. As soon as Smith jumped up, Curry made a big block!
Jr. Smith is taller than Curry, and his bounce is much better than Curry, but shooting is not about jumping, and no one jumps to the highest point and straightens his arms to shoot, so blocking is about awareness and timing!
Even a small potato could cover Howard, let alone Curry covering Jr. Smith.
Jr. Smith was very decisive and Curry was well prepared. The shot was so clean that the basketball flew away with a bang.
Curry picked up the basketball immediately. He immediately rushed to the frontcourt, came to the basket, and hit a dunk!
Forget it, just a dunk!
Curry started the show with a dunk!
Suddenly, the Oracle Arena burst into cheers and thunder! (To be continued)
