Chapter 512 Even if Jordan Comes

Curry still saw his stats.

After returning to the locker room, he celebrated the victory with his teammates, took a shower, and went for an interview.

He took over the technical statistics of the game between the Warriors and the Heat from the Warriors' press officer.

James' 56 points are very conspicuous, but after Curry saw it, he was only slightly surprised, then smiled and left it behind.

James scored a lot of points, but strangely, in Curry's impression, James scored less than 56 points.

It may be that Curry was too focused in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, and his impression of the previous three and a half quarters has been somewhat blurred, and James' scoring is mainly concentrated in this time period.

Curry focused on the Warriors' technical statistics, and the first one was himself.

这场比赛,库里出战40分钟,18投8中,三分12中5,罚球4中4,砍下25分10助攻5篮板2抢断。

He was under the attack of the Heat throughout the whole process, with very few shots, and each shot was very difficult, but even so, Curry still scored 25 points.

More than half of these came from conversion points from fast break counterattacks, and only when the Warriors pushed back counterattacks did the Heat have no time to pinch Curry.

Although Curry's score is less than half of James's, he sent 10 assists himself. In addition, after attracting the pincers, he distributed the ball to Green, and Green then distributed the ball to the empty ice hockey assists, creating a lot of ease for his teammates. scoring opportunities.

Curry's own stats are not obvious, only 20+10, but the Warriors team is blooming more.

Clay 22 points, Butler 21 points, Chandler 13 points, Green 15 points, Leonard 12 points, the Warriors' core six all scored in double figures, of which Curry, Clay, and Butler all scored. 20.

In contrast to the Heat, apart from James scoring 56 points, only Wade scored 18 points, Bosh scored 14 points, and everyone else scored in single digits.

In this game, the Warriors and the Heat were completely reversed, as if the Warriors were the Big Three team, and the Heat were led by James with a single core.

The performance of Curry and James on the court also formed two extremes.

James has a big package, the statistics are extremely luxurious, and the teammates around him are mediocre. At the last critical moment, they scored very few points.

Curry's own statistics are relatively average, and his teammates got a lot of opportunities, but at the last critical moment, he stood up.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the defensive strategies of both sides.

The Heat have been flanking Curry since the beginning of the game, which greatly limited his scoring. Curry's scoring in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter was also a very difficult shot.

The Warriors spent most of the time defending James alone, giving James room to operate, and did not flank James until the last 5 minutes.

There is no distinction between Curry and James' choices.

Under the attack, Curry is willing to act as a bait to attract the opponent's defense and create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

James felt hot, and the Warriors defended him single-handedly, so he attacked very resolutely, scored high points, and helped the Heat keep biting the score. In the end, the Warriors flanked him. Teammates score. …

The difference is that the Warriors won and the Heat lost.

Although Curry scored few points, when the team needed to score at the critical moment, he stepped forward and hit the key ball.

Although James scored a lot, he chose to pass the ball to his teammates when the Heat needed to score the most in the fourth quarter.

From a tactical point of view, there is nothing wrong with James' choice. The open space is the best opportunity. The Warriors' game-killing goal was also made by Clay after receiving a pass from Curry.

But basketball is not just about tactics. Curry's step-back three-pointer, Clay's corner three-pointer against Wade, and even Curry's big cross pass to Clay, Neither fit the Warriors' tactics.

But they did it anyway.

At the last moment, the Splash Brothers decided to control the fate of the Warriors by themselves, and James chose to trust his teammates. In other words, he handed over the burden of deciding the outcome to Chalmers, Ray Allen, and Gave it to Wade.

His performance in the last 5 minutes is destined to be as mixed as those lore goals he passed to his teammates before.

However, James is still restrained now. Only Zhang Yu knows how much James likes to pass the ball at critical moments, or how much he likes to let his teammates decide the outcome.

The winning three-pointer in the tiebreaker of the 2016 Finals was made by Irving, and the buzzer lore in G2020 of the 2 Western Conference Finals was made by Thick Eyebrow.

Only in the 2018 playoffs, when James really had no helpers around him, did he personally go into battle and beat the Pacers led by Oladipo and the Raptors led by the "Trash Brothers".

When he was in the Cavaliers before, James also contributed to the wonderful performances of the lore Wizards, the Pistons, and the Magic, but after starting to form the Big Three, as long as there is another giant around him, James usually chooses to trust his teammates at the last moment. In his eyes, Shi and Love may not be considered giants, nor are they trustworthy teammates.

Is James not strong enough?
No, no matter how much the alliance is touted, it needs a strong strength to win so many honors.

The Eastern Conference bonus is not something anyone can eat. Even if it is difficult to win the finals, James has won.

But his willpower is not as strong as his roar on the court. As long as he has a choice, he will not take responsibility personally.

This is also the reason why James only scored 5 points through a quick layup in the last 4 minutes of today's game.

If he stopped weighing the pros and cons, stopped thinking for a long time, and just put all his attention on the current game, on the next round that is about to start, he will become a truly great superstar.

But he is destined not to do that, he will consider the public opinion after the game, he will consider his own data, and he will consider the risks and benefits of each round.

Some people call James a "basketball actuary", and perhaps this is the most appropriate title for him.

In Zhang Yu's previous life, James was very controversial. He obviously deserved honor, 4 crowns and 4 MVPs in his hand. Looking at the history of the NBA for more than [-] years, he is also a leading superstar, but many people do not agree with him. The second position in history, Many people even don't recognize his superstar strength.

This has a lot to do with James' calculating character. If he doesn't think so much and just plays well, he won't have both good and bad reputation, and there won't be so many people who hate him so much. …

But now James has not won the championship, nor has he won so many MVPs. He is just one of the superstars in the league. Curry is the No. 1 in the league, and there are many fewer people who belittle him.

After the game, except for the Warriors fans who were the winners and collected the "trophies" on the losers, other neutral fans didn't hate James much.

Although the Heat lost, the second-highest 56 points in the finals history made James a glorious defeat.

Many people lamented:

"James tried his best, but his teammates really can't do it. If his teammates work harder, the Heat will never lose."

"I didn't watch the Heat's games before, so it turns out that the Big Three are only at this level? James is too difficult. He can't win the finals with 56 points, and even Jordan can't do it!"

"James is amazing, he is not a group of Big Three, he is here for the Heat to help the poor!"

The public opinion after G1 showed a very peculiar phenomenon. The Heat lost, but James was widely praised, and there was a posture of "The Heat lost, but James didn't lose".

James fans are even more expressive, criticizing the performance of other Heat players, even Wade and Bosh, and once again brought up the topic of "League No. 1", bluntly saying that only James' performance is worthy It deserves the title of League No.1.

Curry's statistics are far worse than James's. His points are so much lower than James's, and his assists are not much higher than James'. His strength is simply not as good as James'.

The Warriors rely on their overall strength to win. Clay and Butler both scored 20 points, and all the starters scored in double figures. James is alone, and losing is normal, but in terms of personal strength, he is definitely better than Curry.

Not to mention, when they released the data of Curry and James, many people really agreed with them. After all, James' data is too dazzling.

Scoring 56 points in a single game in the finals is simply a miracle. Even Jordan failed to do it. It is true that the Heat lost, but doesn't this bring out the greatness of James?
Against such a group of teammates, James can score 56 points. If his teammates are a little more normal, how could the Heat lose?

Many people can't help but think so, and then they are full of sympathy for James. Even many fans who hated him because of James' decision before don't hate him that much anymore.

Not only that, but many pro-Nike media also exaggerated James' god-level performance, describing the greatness of 56 points in a single game of the finals from various angles, and portraying James as a lonely hero.

For a while, James' limelight even overshadowed the Warriors who won the first game of the finals, and of course overshadowed the Warriors' core star Curry.

However, there are still many people watching the game. They know very well that James' statistics are gorgeous, but from the perspective of the game, he did not play a shocking performance that matches 56 points.

On the contrary, Curry repeatedly attracted pincers at the last moment, sent key assists, and hit key goals. In James's best field, the limelight overwhelmed James.

Warriors fans especially can't understand the media describing James as a "lone hero". James has been passing the ball for the last 5 minutes. Which lone hero plays like this? …

The real lone hero should be like Kobe and Nowitzki, who carry the team on his shoulders and decide the fate of the team with his own hands, instead of passing the ball to his teammates.

Curry was double-teamed and he passed the ball, but no one said that Curry was a lone hero. How come James is a lone hero?
Immediately, Warriors fans refuted the remarks of Jamie and those media, but they did not cause much disturbance.

People are forgetful. After watching the game, it will pass, but the data always reminds them that James scored the second highest score in the history of the Finals, while Curry only scored 20+10, and the Warriors have a total of 6 players Scoring in double figures, the Heat only had 3 players, and only James scored 20.

Such a stark contrast makes most people who haven't watched the game think that James' performance is better than Curry. He is a lonely hero. The Warriors can win only because of a good lineup.

The most important thing is that there are still many media constantly emphasizing how rare it is to score 56 points in a single game in the finals, which makes people even more amazed at James' performance.

Curry's pick-and-roll attracts pincers, involves the Heat's defense, and sacrifices to create scoring opportunities for teammates, but it is something that cannot be seen from the data.

Even many people who watched the game did not agree with Curry's deterrence on the offensive end. Instead, they turned their heads and accused Spoelstra of not attacking Curry from the beginning.

Flanking Curry also allowed him to score 25 points. Facts have proved that flanking is useless at all. It is better to let Curry play by himself. No matter how much he can score, can he score as much as James?

Even if they fight to attack, the Heat will win!

Seeing such comments, Spoelstra was really distressed and couldn't tell.

Flanking Curry all the way allowed him to score 25 points. How many points could he get if he didn't flank him?
More importantly, many people don't understand the ball, and they don't realize that Curry is truly terrible.

Many super scorers score 3-4 goals in a quarter, make a few free throws, and score about 10 points. After the whole game, they can catch 20 or 30 shots. If they take more shots, they can make a rush with 40 shots.

But Curry is different. He may not score a few points in a half, but as long as the touch comes, he doesn't make sense at all. One wave opened the score.

This kind of explosive scoring power in a short period of time is also unique in NBA history, because no one can shoot three-pointers like Curry.

If the Heat don't pinch Curry and give him room to maneuver, the Heat may not even be able to last at the critical moment.

It was precisely because of the tight attack that Curry did not score in a row. Even so, his wave of performance at the beginning of the third quarter helped the Warriors even out the point difference.

At the last moment, Curry also sent consecutive assists, scored an unreasonable ultra-long three-pointer, and accepted the game.

However, people are destined not to understand Spoelstra. Most people watch the game and stay at the stage of watching the excitement. Basic data is the most intuitive and important way for them to understand the game.

If the Heat lost, someone must take the blame. James scored 56 points. The blame must not be his, so it can only be carried by the head coach and teammates.

The day between G1 and G2 was spent in the criticism of Spoelstra and other Heat players by James fans.

On June 6, the Warriors and the Heat ushered in the second game of the Finals at the Oracle Center.
