Chapter 1372 If you want to meet the tyrant, you must first ask us
The Cavaliers' starting lineup is still Irving + James + Love + Tristan Thompson + JR Smith.

This is also a classic lineup of non-big men. Although it is not said to be five small, the tallest is Thompson's 208CM.The rest, such as Love, are no more than this number.But to be more precise, this is a star-studded lineup.This lineup is also the most suitable match for LeBron James. After years of exploration, it has basically taken shape.This lineup can maximize the energy of the so-called "James system".

The Lakers are Tang Qian + Randall + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. There is nothing to say. After Bosh was injured in the second half, this lineup basically started.Because the Cavaliers don't need to use unlimited switching restrictions from the beginning, the Lakers still play more traditionally at the beginning.Punched in and out, then attempted a shot from the outside.Feeling okay tonight, Butler hit a mid-range shot at the start.

It has to be said that the defense of the Cavaliers is really incomparable with that of the Warriors.At any rate, the Warriors have some problems on the inside, and the entire outside defense is the best in the league.If it weren't for the emergence of the Lakers, they would be firmly NO.1.Otherwise, how do you think they achieved the league's top three in defensive efficiency for two consecutive years when there was a gap in the interior?This is ability.As for the Cavaliers, it's really hard to say, defense...do they have defense?
Well, their defensive efficiency in the regular season this season is still in the top five. For some reason, in the playoffs, basically there is no defense, and they rely entirely on offense to win.Rely on giant planets to win.But fans of the Cavaliers don't need to worry.According to the trajectory of the original time and space, the defensive efficiency of the Cavaliers will gradually decline in the future, and eventually reach the bottom of history.So, this season, it's really, really okay.It is a lot worse than the Warriors.The outside line of the Lakers, who had just finished the series with the Warriors, suddenly felt...a lot brighter in front of them.

There's a lot less pressure on scoring and stuff, and it's a lot more enjoyable to shoot.

The opening Cavaliers are still the same, wanting to open everyone up, which is no different from previous games.Once it can't be done, there is only one way. The stars take turns to play on the field, take turns to carry, and use giant planets to kill opponents.The Cavaliers in recent years have basically followed this general pattern.The details are also carried out around this.

However, the Lakers did not give them this opportunity, and quickly blocked them, including JR Smith + Thompson's pick-and-roll, which had just improved a bit, and was quickly blocked by the Lakers.If you want to play James' flank, it's good, and you've also been prepared. A local flank attack and nearby interference on the Lakers' side made it impossible for James to support the whole team on the flank.Because Larry Brown predicted that James would like to connect and activate the whole team at the beginning of the game, and his desire to make shots would not be too high, so in fact the so-called "local flank attack + nearby interference" is a blindfold, and the purpose is still the latter... …after doing it, quickly return to position!Use the previous method to let James deliberately play the ball, and then destroy and steal.

The Cavaliers got off the ground at the beginning, and soon made adjustments there.The Cavaliers began to put pressure on the strong side and let go of the weak side. It depends on whether your players on the weak side can have a high success rate and can always score.Although Ariza on the Lakers side can occasionally play with the ball, it cannot be routine, and he is now accustomed to the team's 3D style of play. It is probably unrealistic for him to suddenly change and provoke the leader.

What about the Lakers?You actually played a set of routines of "using the other's way and giving it back to the other", you don't care about our weak side, right? Well, we don't care about your weak side, let your weak side play singles, let's play a pair One.The Cavaliers put the "Nerve Knife" JR Smith on the weak side during this period, trying to use his singles and convulsions to break the game.But, this really doesn't work that well, because the Lakers' No. 2 position is Jimmy Butler, unless JR Smith can "turn on the nerve knife", otherwise, don't even want to score easily.His breakthrough was completely suppressed by Butler, and his small body was even squeezed out of the bottom line by Butler.It's a pity that the Lakers smashed a wave of tactical balls on this side and missed a three-pointer from the top arc, which gave JR Smith a little face.

The Cavaliers also tried to break the game, but it was difficult. James tried to break through the top arc pick-and-roll, and immediately passed the ball down. He tried to quickly transfer the ball to the weak side after a breakthrough from the wing. False cover, but the effect is not good.Running tactics?Don't talk about it, the Warriors have such a strong team play that they didn't run out of any tactics. Can the Cavaliers do it?

It's better to play their James system honestly.

So far, half a quarter has passed, the Cavaliers have only scored 6 points, and the Lakers have scored 12 points.This score is not unusual for the Lakers. They are a slow-paced team, and they don't push fast defensive counterattacks to grab rounds. It is normal to score in this half quarter.But the Cavaliers are not this kind of team, they only have 6 points?This is too little.You must know that their offensive efficiency has been very good this season.The scoring average is also as high as 104.3 points per game, and it has increased to almost 105 points in the playoffs, so for them, an average of 26-27 points in a game is enough.6 points in half a quarter, too little.

But he is still looking for someone, looking for someone, looking for someone, and wants to drive the team to play from the beginning.

But, it's really hard to say, because the Lakers are now seeing this point, preventing the Cavaliers as a whole from playing poorly, and James' tandem team has been quite unsuccessful so far in the first quarter. ABC on-site commentator Jeff Van Gundy said that the Cavaliers are now too obsessed with "finding teammates". In fact, the Lakers are currently very tight defensive role players, and they should have to do something else.Playing like this is right in the arms of the Lakers.

Zhang Weiping also said with headphones on the scene: The Lakers took the approach of blocking the role players of the Cavaliers from the beginning, which should be based on James' playing habits.James usually brings his teammates up in front of the game. The Lakers targeted well tonight, and the Cavaliers were deflated.The Cavaliers also made a second adjustment during the timeout, and actually used James to go to the low post! ! !Depend on!This move was somewhat unexpected.But don't forget that James' post-back efficiency is at the forefront of the outside line. Of course, the reason why he can reach this figure is because of his excellent playing choices.Backs are all used for dislocation and "bullying the weak".So the excellent data of this back body was established.James used to play back, but it was ugly. When he played against the Mavericks, he was even defended by an ordinary role player of the Mavericks.This person is also much shorter than him.This incident made James learn from the pain after the offseason, and went to apprentice Dameng to learn back playing.Don't tell me, he has really improved a lot.

He can't play technical back-ups anymore, so Dameng directly suggested that he play body-flowing back-ups. Although he can't do indiscriminate back-up singles, it is still enough to deal with the dilemma of those opponents who are shorter and thinner than himself in the past. up.James now, is to flow with his back, the tank hits, and then eats. He doesn't need too many technical steps, just push out of the position.

He used this hand to bully Ariza, who weighed only 215 pounds, and he was still very relaxed and happy. He easily pushed out of the position and scored with a shot.Yes, James is a bit surprising, but the Lakers are obviously only slightly surprised, and they don't mean to be at a loss.Change the trick directly and use Randall to go over.

Randall's speed is fast, the tonnage is sufficient, and the chassis is solid. Although defensive breakthroughs are not good, there is absolutely no problem with defensive backs.The Cavaliers want to use James' backs to attract double-teams, and then take the opportunity to revitalize the team. It will never be easily realized.Such a move by the Cavaliers has no effect.Only played one round.On the other hand, the Lakers played steadily. Butler played well during this period. The Cavaliers' No. 2 position can't guard against him at all.Crap, JR Smith, never heard of any defense.Butler averaged 20+ points per game anyway, so it's OK to play him.

The Cavaliers also changed their formation, using people to follow Butler, and then restrict him from receiving the ball, or let him go to the bottom line, come inside and then surround and defend.However, after Butler went through the pain of the last round of the series, he showed signs of recovery in this game. He actually forcibly played hard and scored consecutive points. .

No way, JR Smith is too thin and not strong enough to stop him at all.

On the outside, there are not many who can really compare with Butler in hardness and strength.If JR Smith still has the weight tonnage of the Nuggets, that's okay. Now, in order to take care of his age, he has also lost weight, so as not to increase the burden on his knees and shorten his career.After all, he is not a star, and he still has to rely on his career years to make a living.The longer you can play, the more money you can get.The Cavaliers called a timeout and replaced... Ray Allen.Ray Allen left the Bulls to join the Cavaliers during the offseason. He is in very good condition, and he has always been known for his hard training.His figure has never been out of shape, which is also his concentration.

Coupled with his rich experience and strong shooting ability, his replacement just helped the Cavaliers open the situation.

Butler's first hit against Ray Allen was flattened, and Ray Allen bit his feet to defend, which made Butler very uncomfortable, and if he wanted to do something else, his opponent wouldn't eat it.The ball was missed, and the Cavaliers defense became one.James holds the ball, which seems to be nonsense, let alone the Cavaliers, in any team, James is the one who holds the ball.This cannot be changed.

Otherwise, do you want him to play off the ball?

James's ball changed from a low post to a high post, which opened up the Lakers' defense a lot.Randall also needs to go to a higher position to form an effective defense.In this way, James can pass the ball to find space.This point has to be admitted. His vision is definitely at the historical level, at least it is at the sub-historical level. With his personal ability, it has an effect of one plus one greater than two.James suddenly sent the ball from a high position, and Irving accelerated his cut, wanting to cut directly to catch the ball, killing the Lakers with a back door wide open.Irving's mind is on No. 29 on the opposite side. After all, who in the league doesn't know the blocking power of the Lakers tyrant?To belittle is to court death.

So Irving's ball... what?
A super long ape arm suddenly appeared, and then stopped in front of Owen, making Owen have to stop the ball.Irving wanted to find someone to pass, but the Lakers had already judged the ball and intercepted it directly on the passing route, then slowed down and continued to play.Rondo gave Irving a word at this time: "Hey~ You don't think the Lakers can only defend when they are hot?"

"Shouldn't you ask me before you meet him?"

Rondo is the first defense this season. He said this to Irving, there is no problem, and it is not a big deal.

This scene also happened to the rest of the people, and they basically defended themselves with one sentence:

Hey~ buddy~ Before you want to face the tyrant, shouldn't you ask our opinion first.

Are we really made of mud?

If you want to meet the king, let's talk about it first.

The Lakers really have this capital, with strong defensive capabilities in all positions, and there is no shortage of substitutes.This made the Cavaliers play very uncomfortable. As a whole, the Cavaliers are very uncomfortable. No, it should be said that they have not been very comfortable. The demeanor of several teams.

The overall feeling is that the Cavaliers got angry after eating, and now they are... constipated.

Ray Allen wanted to run open and cut, but he didn't get too many opportunities. He can really see how powerful the Los Angeles Lakers' defensive function is this season.No wonder the outside world always says that the Lakers should be the most defensive team in NBA history since its establishment.The regular season is okay, but in the playoffs, basically the ability is a level higher.

People are terrified to see.

You have to know that Ray Allen's running position is at the level of an "old artist". There is no doubt about this, just look at his previous playoffs and finals.Is it all unstoppable movement?Not to mention unscrupulous and arbitrary, at least it is difficult to be easily restrained.Tonight, he's been here for so long, but he hasn't had a real chance yet. Instead, he wasted a lot of physical energy in vain.

Sometimes he wants to ask, if you work so hard, do you still have the strength later?

This problem is not a problem at all, because the Lakers are full of people now. When Butler went, Ray Allen thought he could relax a little, but soon found that he was thinking too much.The opposite party actually sent a Covington over.And this rookie with a basic salary, his defensive ability and understanding are not inferior to Butler just now.Even because he is taller and has longer arms, he basically has no chance to forcibly shoot.

Is this Lakers team really a layer of defensive genius?
The same problem also appeared on Irving. After seeing Rondo go down, he thought he would be a little more relaxed. As a result, when Beverly came up, he also felt very uncomfortable.Not much easier than just now.

All of a sudden, the people on the Cavaliers side really want to complain, what kind of ghost team is this.

It doesn't even take a breather.
