On May 23rd, U.S. time, the Cavaliers and the Green Army had their fifth game. This time the Green Army returned to their home court and directly defeated the Cavaliers. It was clean and tidy. There was no favoritism from the referee and the enemy was destroyed directly. According to historical probability, they won
The team that participated in the Tianwangshan game has at least an 83% probability of advancing to the next round. Therefore, the morale of the Green Army as a whole is high. And the tactics are very clear, so that Rozier, who James mismatched in the last game, was replaced a lot.
, not directly confronting James. This is easy to say, but very difficult to do. Without good tactical execution, it can easily cause the entire team to be confused. After all, James of the Cavaliers is also a strong passer.
James' system is still very good at allocating the ball to open shooters. However, the Green Army did all this under the leadership of Stevens. Then Stevens made a relatively terrible tactical setting.
He actually used the team's No. 1 position to defend the opponent's No. 5 Thompson for a short period of time! And Marcus Smart actually defended him despite the huge height difference!!!!!!!!!!
!!!Thompson either almost lost the ball due to interference, or missed the shot directly. Thompson's shooting percentage in the game was... 0!!! At this time, Thompson himself didn't dare to play, it was so huge
The dislocation was not dared to play, which simply added a huge burden to the other points. The Green Army was originally a team with relatively high mobility and strong confrontation, so they simply came with a No. 2 position to defend the No. 1 position, and the 3rd position
Position 4 defends position 2, and position 4 defends position 3. However, this misalignment has given the Green Army a huge physical advantage. The Cavaliers now have Irving gone, and there is no additional outside ball-handling situation.
Clicked, so this strange move caused the Cavaliers to be beaten 11-1 in one breath. At this point, the general trend of the game was set, and it never got closer.
To be honest, Stevens is a typical white man's thinking, and he is on the opposite side when talking about the future. But, his tactical thinking is indeed good. He often makes classic tactical changes. Thompson was originally a huge advantage, but
He couldn't hit a man who was about 1.9 meters tall. He was still playing in low singles...what do you say? And if you look at it again, you will know that this is not good luck. Although Marcus Smart is tall,
He is only about 1.9 meters tall, but his weight reaches 220+ pounds!!! Yes, you read that right, 220+ pounds!!! And if you look at Tristan Thompson’s weight, he is only 238 pounds
, less than 240 pounds. In addition, shorter people can have a lower center of gravity and seem to have better muscle distribution. So at this point, there is obviously a difference of more than ten centimeters in height, but Thompson cannot beat his opponent.
Because Thompson is also a rough guy, has no technical skills, and lacks physical strength...then he is naturally GG.
The result is that James was beaten hard by the big man with his body. He had no touch on the three-point shot tonight. He only shot more than 10%. In the second half, his shooting rate was only more than 30%. It is reasonable to lose. After all, tonight, but
There was no whistle to help them. In addition, James made a wave of mistakes and the Cavaliers collapsed directly. The Green Army won the victory at Tianwangshan. It looked like the situation was great. But it didn't matter if they lost this game, Tang Qian can do it now
It is predicted that the referee will inevitably intervene in the next game. This is what they will do. Otherwise, it will be a ghost, right? After all, it is a tiebreaker, ticket prices must be increased, and revenue must be generated.
Sure enough, the Cleveland Cavaliers... won this game.
But the victory was not due to the referee. Although the whistle was biased in this game, after all, the Cavaliers played at home, mainly because someone from the Cavaliers really showed off his power tonight. When Tang Qian was training, this game was played in the training ground
The game, well, actually there is no other choice. The entire league is still playing the game, just this one. Then James made 2 of 10 shots from the end of the third quarter to the middle of the fourth quarter. Look
It's too late to get up. But... But, this year, there is still a fight between one and two. James broke out! This year is really his amazing year! He is worthy of being the strongest among hot men.
On the 23rd, when the opponent had caught up with only six or seven points left, James suddenly broke out and made two consecutive top shots, all of which were three-pointers. Then the Green Army's momentum was gone and they were beaten directly.
Down.
And...it was another 40+ game, scoring 46 points.
And it’s 46 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. You really can’t find anything wrong with it. This year’s referees are one aspect, but James himself is very impressive, and that is an indisputable fact.
In this game, he really supported the overall situation of the Cavaliers by himself. He defeated the opponent by himself, even though he sprained a little bit in the middle, he still stood up and continued to play. This year, he is indeed different from previous years.
Including the look in his eyes, his roar towards Tatum, his control and focus on the game. These are all top-notch.
And of course, there's his projection.
It's really...awesome.
Tang Qian looked at the roaring No. 23, and suddenly felt a little strange, but... the stronger you are, the more pleasure I will feel when I win against you. You have been abusing food for a few years, it's time for you to upgrade, right? Then
Just have a good time, No. 23, KING.
Tang Qian suddenly felt a lot better about training, so he became more involved and focused.
On the same day, the latest NBA All-Defensive Team was announced. Even after the awards ceremony, the All-NBA and All-Defensive Teams were still announced during the playoffs. This needs to be explained. It is usually at the end of May.
.The latest defensive lineup has been announced, as follows:
The first is the second team players, led by Draymond Green. The forward positions are Green and Al Horford. On the back line are Butler and the Spurs' rookie sophomore Murray, as well as the Lakers who were selected with the same vote.
Team Beverley. The center position is Gobert of the Jazz. Then looking at the first defense, there is no doubt that No. 29 Tang Qian of the Lakers leads the team. Over the years, everyone has almost lost expectations for the leader of this lineup.
Anyway, if it is No. 29 of the Lakers, it is still No. 29 of the Lakers. There is no new trick. The forward position is divided into Robert Covington and Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers, and the same is true for the back line.
Jrue Holiday of the Pelicans was selected, as well as Oladipo of the Pacers.
Embiid, who could have been selected for the defensive line, unfortunately lost the selection. There are only two center positions. The first defense is strongly occupied by Tang Qian, so the original first defense center needs to retreat to the second line and move to the second position.
.There is no such thing as three defenses, so Embiid can only regret not being selected. Surprisingly, the Lakers actually selected 4 people, but...Butler was reimbursed at the end of the regular season, which is equivalent to the playoffs.
The game couldn't be played. Covington was basically recuperating from his injury and didn't play much. There was only one Beverley who didn't have a big problem throughout the whole game. He only had a slight injury and a little pain and didn't miss much. In addition, this year's lineup was changed and the defensive lineup was injured.
The continuous illness caused the Lakers to appear to be sitting in four defensive formations, but there was no sense of intensity at all.
Because there is more individual defense and there is no strong defensive system to support it, the effect of individual defense has been greatly weakened when dealing with a large number of pick-and-rolls. Calculating this, the Lakers are also the first team in history to sit on
There are so many players who can defend the team all season, but they can't defend a team that can't even enter the top five. The limit is to be a top ten goalkeeper.
Larry Brown really wanted to cry. He thought to himself, if you gave me this lineup at the beginning, if there were no injuries, why would I worry about not being able to adjust the defensive system. The problem is...this lineup is not there.
We've played a few games together this season. Looking at it this way, just having a good-looking account won't bring you any benefit. It's far from being as strong as it looks on the account.
However, there is still some surprise about Rondo's loss. Rondo was in particularly good shape in the playoffs this year, but he was also a bit dragged down by injuries and recovery adjustments in the regular season. In addition, he has indeed declined compared to before as he is older.
So he was squeezed out of the best defensive team this year. Rondo was a little depressed, but he also knew that his defense had indeed declined this year, so he didn't care about it too much. Taking advantage of his good condition this year, he helped the team complete the three-pointer.
Consecutive championships are the way to go.
In this way, your value will be greatly increased.
After being selected this time, it was Tang Qian's 5th consecutive first-line defense in his career, and the 7th time in his career that he has been selected for the defense. He has never been left behind in a year. He has been a defensive elite every year. Some people even say
Well, let’s just exclude No. 29 of the Lakers from the defensive lineup. Otherwise, it would be a bit unfair for him to be so strong and have so few defensive spots at the center position. But that’s just saying that.
Because it has been like this for so many years, and you complain, what will the people before you do?
However, Tang Qian didn't say anything at all, and didn't even send a tweet, because he felt it was a matter of course.
There's nothing to say.
This year's DPOY should also be his, so that he can continue to be the first in history. After that, this year's MVP battle has already come to an end. He is very likely to have another super grand slam this year. Of course, this requires
You will only know after winning the championship. Otherwise, these honors are of no value. For a star of his level, the most important thing is the core leadership ring.
Otherwise, even if you have won all other honors, if you miss this, they can give you a regular season brush or a hat tag saying that the playoffs are actually not as good as the regular season. So Tang Qian doesn't care too much about these things now.
, he has only one goal left this year, which is to defeat his opponents in the Eastern Conference, then complete three consecutive championships and become the second team leader to win three consecutive championships in the 21st century!
The next day, the tiebreaker between the Cavaliers and Boston began, and there was some very unfortunate news before the game, that is, the Cavaliers' All-Star power forward Kevin Love announced that he would be out due to injury. This made the Cavaliers
The team's prospects were cast a shadow. But this game was still... a game that Tang Qian looked up to James with admiration for. There was not much referee interference in the tie-break, and the joke didn't mean to interfere. He
All he has to do is let the series reach a tiebreaker, and then that's enough. The rest is entirely up to James himself. James played the entire game in this game, and his defense tonight was simply a model of leading by example.
I have said that James' physical fitness is monster level. He has indeed maintained his health in the regular season, but if he wants to explode, the defense can still keep up. At least in some key games, it is not a problem. Tonight proved this again
One thing, even if he made 8 turnovers, he still couldn't hide his strength.
This is a strange basketball game, but it is true that the entire Cavaliers team was stimulated to the limit by James. The entire team made more than twice as many mistakes as the Green Army. James alone surpassed the entire opponent team 3 times. It can be seen that tonight the Green Army
The Green Army made few mistakes and played very well. Looking at the rebounds, the Green Army is still in the lead, especially the offensive rebounds, which are 9 more! Looking at the assists, damn, the Green Army is still in the lead.
. There should be more steals. In addition to blocks, it is almost the team's statistics that are crushed across the board. The number of shots is even better than the Cavaliers' 66 with 85. But... the Cavaliers defended too hard tonight, and they were really beaten.
I'm getting anxious. In fact, the scale of tonight's game is more suitable for the Green Army, but the Green Army's offensive performance tonight was too poor. In fact, the three-pointer shooting rate was only over 10%, and they only made three-pointers in the whole game.
29 goals. In this way, plus the key goals, these people are not as experienced and sophisticated as James, and then they unfortunately lost. The Green Army's history of never losing a series after leading 2-0 ended here.
The person who ended them was LeBron James.
At 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, the two teams were still almost evenly divided, and then the ball was on the ball and the Celtics were really unsustainable. Do you think Tatum, who was still a rookie, could do better than this year's super god James? In the end, Tatum
The ball planet is completely exploded by James at all times. It's like a hand-to-hand battle with bayonets. As a result, the tip of your knife is pierced above the enemy's heart. As long as you put in more effort to stab it, you will win the final victory.
.As a result...you are bored.
The result waiting for you is that your opponent will fight back and kill you.
James had another quasi-triple-double with 35 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 blocks, with a 50% shooting percentage, helping the team take away the tiebreaker. Especially in the last five minutes, he relied on killing to force 6
One person can almost offset the opponent's entire team's points. You know, the moment when the ball is stabbed with force at the end, James is obviously a lot higher than the opponent.
In the absence of Love, he can still lead the team to break out of the siege. This is really... amazing.
This year's James is really okay.
This momentum, this momentum, this state, are all the best choices for a moment.
Then the next second after the game ended, ESPN and T.N.T changed their homepages almost at the same time:
Lakers VS Cavaliers, 3.0.
Yes, for three consecutive years, we are still facing the Cavaliers and No. 23.
