This game is a game that the Cavaliers cannot lose again. The most important thing is that the Cavaliers also have the possibility of winning.
Although they were playing in an away game, James and Irving were in excellent condition in this game, and Love also performed well. For the first time, they fully demonstrated the strength of the Big Three. The result was that although the Warriors played well and attacked smoothly,
The score difference is not big, hovering around 5 points.
If it hadn't been for the Warriors' explosion in the second half, it would have been possible for the Cavaliers to overtake the score.
When he was with the Heat, James always felt that Wade was getting old and Bosh was no longer useful, so he eventually left and joined the Cavaliers to form the new Big Three.
The biggest advantage of the Cavaliers' Big Three over the Heat's Big Three is that they are younger. In addition, the Warriors' strength has declined since the chaotic trade. With the help of Deng Fang, Irving and Love have returned with full blood. James feels that he has a chance to unseat the Warriors.
Although the score was 1: behind, James did not give up!
After playing with the Warriors for so many years, James knows the Warriors very well. He couldn't beat the Warriors before. Apart from Curry's bravery, the biggest headache for James is that there are too many people playing in the Warriors. There is almost no difference between the starters and the substitutes!
Generally speaking, there is a big difference between the starting lineup and the substitutes in a team, so the main task of the substitutes is not to lose points. As long as they don't lose points in the substitute stage, the task is completed.
But that was impossible against the Warriors before, because the Warriors' bench was so strong, in many cases even better than the starters!
However, the Warriors have made several transactions this season. After the transactions, the strength of the substitutes has dropped significantly. At least it is not much different from other teams. This also gives other teams hope, especially players like James who understand the Warriors well.
Although he didn’t know what Deng Fang was doing, James clearly knew that this was an opportunity, an opportunity that couldn’t be missed!
Who knows if Deng Fang will return to normal during the offseason and make some more amazing moves?
In that case, there will really be no future!
So be sure to seize this opportunity this year!
That's why James kept motivating his teammates during the timeout, telling them to cheer up and be tougher on the defensive end!
As for how to be tough, James didn't say.
There are some things that cannot be said openly, such as a dirty trick!
What does toughness mean? It means strengthening physical confrontation and not being afraid of fouls. But no one can tell what level of physical confrontation is reasonable. You can only decide it yourself.
When guarding against a shot, it is appropriate and very gentlemanly to draw your feet back, but what if I don’t draw my feet back?
It's normal to jump forward to see whose footsteps are ahead. It's okay to call a foul, but who dares to say that I stepped forward on purpose?!
Is it good to use your bounce and height to get rebounds when you are stuck in a rebound position?
Awesome! But what if I put my elbows up and yell at you? This is normal operation!
A big move and a foul was called?
Just blow it, even if I get called for a foul, you still need to know that I'm not someone to be trifled with!
Is it great to fan the ball cleanly when blocking a shot?
sharp!
But is it okay if I knock you to the ground at the same time? Is it a foul?
No one says it’s not possible, the referee may or may not call a foul!
In short, there are many gray areas that can be used, it depends on whether you want to use them or not!
After reminding me for a long time, my teammates didn't seem to understand. Although they were more active on defense, they still couldn't prevent the Warriors' offense. This is not good!
In an away game, the three players on our side performed so well and still fell behind by ten points. It would be difficult to come back without some surprises!
Although the game is fierce, James is very calm!
The situation on the court is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Cavaliers, and James is eager to seek change!
But change doesn’t happen that easily!
If you do something to the Warriors role players, the effect will not be great!
Is Iguodala good?
sharp!
But without Iguodala, the Warriors won't be hurt, and they won't be much worse.
Barbosa is not good defensively, but he is much better offensively than Iguodala.
Livingston has no three-pointers, and his defense is a little worse than Iguodala, but he is good at low-post singles, turn-over jumpers, and is not bad at organization.
Even with Bogut, he has his advantages, and sometimes he is even better than Iguodala!
So does everyone else.
The only thing the Warriors cannot indispensable is Curry!
Of course, if you add one more, it will be Green!
The core of the offense is Curry, and the gatekeeper of the defense is Green!
The lack of one of these two people is fatal to the Warriors' offense and defense!
So if you want to start, you have to start with these two people!
As for Deng Fang’s bet before the game, James didn’t take it seriously at all!
You said I did evil things and I did evil things?
I'm on defense normally!
How do you know I want to hurt someone?
Besides, winner and loser, you can attract so much attention just because the Warriors have a good record and are the defending champions!
As long as I win the championship, everything will be in vain!
Who makes us have so many fans and says that we are all mindless fans...
James didn't take Deng Fang's bet seriously at all and kept seizing the opportunity!
Fortunately, the opportunity came without waiting a minute!
Curry broke through the trap and dunked. James saw this scene keenly. Although he was a step late, he still pounced!
Or maybe James was a step late on purpose!
If he waits under the basket, Curry will not fly and dunk, so there is no possibility of accidents!
Curry will be fooled only if a flaw is exposed!
Seeing Curry flying for a dunk, James jumped up and jumped high!
Curry didn't expect James to react so quickly. Fortunately, he has good hand skills and many finishing tricks under the basket. A pull bar turned a dunk into a low-hand rebound!
Small guards must have some special skills at the basket, otherwise it will be difficult to make a living in a penalty area full of people.
But James would not give Curry a chance. He didn't cover the ball in Curry's hand the first time, and when it fell, he stretched out his big hand and patted Curry's head directly!
Curry never thought that James would be so evil and hit someone when he couldn't block him!
Even if he hits someone, he doesn’t hit his head straight!
As soon as the basketball in Curry's hand hit the backboard, his head was slapped hard by James and it immediately fell from the air!
James also happened to fall from the air. His huge body pounced forward and happened to hit Curry who was falling. Curry hit the ground diagonally and his head just hit the camera near the baseline!
The basketball board fell into the net bag, and the referee quickly blew the whistle!
Curry was lying on the ground in great pain, while James stood next to him with an innocent look on his face!
I did not do it on purpose!
I just want to block shots!
this is an accident!
When anyone goes for a layup, the basketball won’t be too far away from their head, right?
The basketball is above the head when dunking, and the basketball is diagonally in front of the head when doing a layup. In short, the two balls are not far apart!
You must move to dodge the basketball in the air. I wanted to block the shot and accidentally hit your head!
As for the collision, there is nothing I can do about it. There is no force in the air and I cannot control my body. If there is something wrong, go to Newton!
Not to mention hitting your head on the camera!
That's your bad luck and has nothing to do with me!
Does Bingqing Yujie James know that he is talking about me! (To be continued)
