Chapter 652
"Welcome everyone to watch the NBA Finals brought by Tencent Sports, the first game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers. I am Ke Fan. Teacher Yang Yi and I will explain this game to you on the spot..."

On the commentary seats between the first and second floors of the Datong Center, there are various commentators gathered. They come from different media and even different countries. Amidst the loud voices at the scene, they speak different languages ​​to audiences all over the world. Bring on the rebroadcast of this battle of the spotlight.

This is a round of star-studded and topic-filled finals. The third matchup between Curry and James, the two major point guards between Curry and Irving, the two top strikers between James and Leonard, and the confrontation between Klay and James. Love's two childhood friends meet for the first time in the playoffs...

Now, there are more Zhang Yu's bold words before the game. The Warriors have booked the championship and opened champagne in advance to celebrate. They don't take the Cavaliers seriously at all.

Among them, Huaxia is the most. Some people choose to watch the live broadcast through CCTV, some watch the live broadcast of Tencent Sports, and some can only secretly watch the text live broadcast... Zhang Yu's domineering declaration made the fans very excited, and also attracted a large number of fans who had never watched NBA games. passers-by.

Before the game started, Warriors fans and Cavaliers fans began to pinch each other in the live broadcast rooms of Tencent Sports, Live Bar, and Hupu. Passers-by were watching and asked their own questions curiously, such as the Warriors' baby face Who is it, who is that old-looking black man on the Cavaliers, and so on.

No one asked who Zhang Yu was. As the only person of yellow race in the audience, passers-by could recognize Zhang Yu at a glance, and then began to brag about Zhang Yu based on what they knew about Zhang Yu, trying to pretend that he knew the warriors well. This conceals the identity of his new fans.

Finally, after the barrage carnival of tearing up the line, naively asking questions, patiently answering, and deliberately teasing passers-by, players from both sides came to the field and the game was about to begin.

Ke Fan was wrapped in the huge sound wave made by the fans in the Bay Area. Even through the headphones with good noise reduction performance, he had to raise his voice:
"Okay, the game will start immediately. The Warriors' starters are Curry, Clay, Leonard, Green, Antetokounmpo. The Cavaliers' starters are Irving, JR-Smith, James, Love, Tristan Thompson. , The Cavaliers are still the regular starting lineup, and the Warriors directly started the Death Five, Mr. Yang, what do you think of the Warriors' change?"

Yang Yi thought for a while, and also raised the volume:

"Zhang Yu is in the fifth elementary school, and the Warriors are more mobile and aggressive on both offensive and defensive ends. This is to give the Cavaliers strength at the beginning!"

On the sidelines, Tyronn Lue frowned when he saw the Warriors' death five starters, but then slowly relaxed.

No matter how the Warriors change, the Cavaliers have only one style of play, which is determined by the Cavaliers' lineup.

He looked at the Cavaliers players who were indignant because of Zhang Yu's "arrogant" speech, and he relaxed a little.

As long as the Cavaliers' offense can be played out, Tyronn Lue is confident of defeating any opponent, including the Warriors.

But if the Cavaliers' offense doesn't come through...

Tyronn Lu shook his head, expelling the thought from his mind.

On the other side of the technical stage, Zhang Yu stood on the sidelines, with his hands in his pockets, wearing a dark gray Zegna suit.

Whenever Zhang Yu leads the team to the finals, he will always wear the suit left to him by his predecessor in the first game.

There are more than a dozen different high-end suits in Zhang Yu's cloakroom, each of which is tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars more expensive than this suit, but this suit is the one he cherishes most, and he is reluctant to wear it on weekdays. It will only be worn out in the finals.

Zhang Yu promised that he would carry forward his predecessor's dream and his own dream, and go on firmly, that is to become the best head coach and win one championship after another.

It's another year's finals, another chance for dreams to come true, and this finals has special meaning for Zhang Yu.

As a Warriors fan, Zhang Yu will never forget the 2015-2016 season, let alone the 2016 Finals.

他当时正好在上大学，几乎一场不落地看了勇士所有比赛，经历了73胜破纪录的狂喜、季后赛库里受伤的担忧、西决1:3落后的绝望、克莱G6天神下凡的震撼、大逆转雷霆的狂喜、总决赛3:1领先的兴奋、被骑士大逆转的黯然。

Now, Zhang Yu is no longer a fan. Along the way, he will no longer have violent mood swings because of the outcome of a game.

He needs to consider all aspects, thinking about lineup adjustments, tactical changes, player status and many other complicated issues all the time, and will not waste time on such trivial matters.

However, the memory of these seven finals has always been clearly in his mind. He remembers how the Warriors won and lost every game, especially G7. He remembered every round in the last 5 minutes— ——Curry's fatal back pass error, Irving's 45-degree angled three-pointer on the right, Curry's failure to single out Love at the top of the arc...

Although 16 years have passed, Zhang Yu's memory has not faded in the slightest. For Warriors fans, this is enough to remember the pain of a lifetime.

But this time, Zhang Yu will never let this happen again.

……

"Di-"

The referee blew his whistle and threw the ball into the sky. Antetokounmpo took the lead and moved the ball to the backcourt, and the game officially started.

The Warriors attacked, Curry held the ball across half court, and handed the ball to Green in the low post. Antetokounmpo raised it up to cover Curry, and Curry borrowed the screen to move from the top of the arc to the strong sideline.

This is the Warriors' classic small-scale off-ball tactic. The Cavaliers have been prepared for a long time. Love directly defended and rushed to Curry, but at the same time, Smith also squeezed through the screen and chased Curry.

Antetokounmpo saw the two Cavaliers chasing Curry and immediately cut to the basket. Green immediately passed the ball. 2:0.

"Yeah!!"

“Greek Freak!”

Antetokounmpo's opening dunk ignited the audience. After he landed, he beat his chest heavily, punched the audience on the baseline, and turned around to retreat amidst their cheers.

"Strike! Two Cavaliers threw at Curry and missed Brother Antetokounmpo." Ke Fan said.

Yang Yi frowned:

"The defense of the Cavaliers... Let's take a look first."

Looking back, Irving and Love hit the pick-and-roll, and Green switched defenses directly.

Irving singled out Green and missed a jumper with an emergency stop. Antetokounmpo stuck in Tristan Thompson's position, and Curry recovered and took off the rebound.

The Warriors immediately turned from defense to offense, Curry advanced with the ball in the middle, Antetokounmpo stepped forward, Clay and Leonard flew on both wings, and Green followed up.

The Cavaliers' defensive formation was instantly disrupted. Two people went to block Antetokounmpo. Clay was left unattended. Curry flicked his wrist and threw the ball into Clay's hands. Clay stopped outside the three-point line and took the The ball was shot, and the three-pointer was hollowed into the net, 5:0.

"Klay! Klay!"

The already loud cheers in the Chase Center became a little louder.

Ke Fan was in this frenzied atmosphere, his voice trembling slightly:

"When the Cavaliers retreated, no one was watching Clay. This mistake is too big!"

Yang Yi said:

"The two defenses of the Cavaliers at the beginning of the game were too poor. Alphabet dunked the basket and Klay chased and made an open three-pointer. This is equivalent to giving the Warriors points!"

On the court, James took the baseline ball from Love and dribbled the ball across half court himself.

The Cavaliers didn't score a point after the start, and he was a little anxious to break the deadlock.

After reaching the top of the arc, James and Love picked and rolled, and Green continued to switch defenses.

The offensive mode of the Cavaliers and the Thunder is very similar, both point guards and small forwards attack with the ball, but in contrast to the Thunder, the small forwards of the Cavaliers are the organizers, the point guards are the scorers, and Love is added as a supporting point And the low attack point, the outer space is also better.

Therefore, Zhang Yu's defensive strategy is also very simple, which is to switch defenses infinitely. If you have the ability, you can use James and Irving's two strong points to kill me. Others don't want to score easily.

James is very familiar with the Warriors' unlimited defenses. When he was in the Heat, the Warriors defended him in this way in the Finals.

He didn't hesitate, and with the help of a gap in the cover, he started directly, carrying Green into the three-point line.

In terms of physical talent, James has never been afraid of anyone. As long as he is given a starting space, he can eat any opponent raw.

But Green is not a vegetarian either. He clings to James, trying to exert physical confrontation to slow James' pace. The two entangled into the penalty area, and Antetokounmpo came to help defend.

James gave the ball to Tristan Thompson who was emptied. After the latter received the ball, he started directly and was about to jump and dunk.

But at this moment, Antetokounmpo turned around quickly, raised his hands, and came up to block.

Tristan Thompson was caught off guard and changed the dunk to a layup without even touching the frame. After the basketball hit the board, it flew to the other side and was picked up by Clay who was recycled to the basket.

Yang Yi said:

"This is the talent of Alphabet. The return speed is too fast. This kind of agility is absolutely impossible for other centers with a height of 2 meters."

The Warriors attacked, Curry handed the ball to Green at the top of the arc, and ran a cross screen with Clay, Irving and Smith pounced on Curry, Green passed the ball to Clay, and Clay made an open mid-range shot. Hit, 7:0.

"Strike! Clay scored 5 points in a row, and the Cavaliers gave Clay another open seat. This is two big gifts for Clay!" Ke Fan said.

Yang Yi said in surprise:
"The defense of the Cavaliers' positional battle turned out to be to flank Curry! Isn't this too contemptuous? If Curry's teammates can't score, you can still flank. The people around him are Klay, Leonard, and Alphabet. Flanking Curry, isn't that a suicide attempt?"

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu was quite surprised to see the Cavaliers pinching Curry twice and leaving open space twice, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

As expected of Director Lu, you are such a top-notch...
