Finals G2 is also a much-anticipated game. Compared with G1, the ratings continue to rise.

Warriors fans all over the world are waiting for Curry to be crowned king, Cavaliers fans hope that the Cavaliers can set off a Jedi counterattack, and a small part of James, full of confidence, is looking forward to James' outbreak.

However, they forgot, is James' chicken soup so delicious?
James once said that he will bring a championship to Cleveland, and he will not leave until this goal is achieved.

He also said that he would bring the Heat not one, two, three...but five, six, seven championships.

He also said that I transferred only to play brother basketball, and I transferred only to go home-I don’t know if he will make another transfer for his family and for his children to go to school.

Now, he says the Cavaliers will win.

How is this possible?
This bowl of chicken soup is very delicious, but the shelf life is very short, and it expired in just two days.

The Cavaliers did show a strong desire to win and played a perfect game, but they still ushered in a fiasco.

After the Cavaliers lost G1, many commentators predicted that Director Lu would flank Curry, but the Cavaliers lost so badly in the Finals last year that even Director Lu did not want to flank Curry unless it was a last resort.

Although the Warriors player he is most afraid of is Curry, but if he wants to keep his handsome position, he cannot choose a proven path of failure when he is not desperate.

In the past two days, Director Lu has been working almost without sleep, studying the game video of G1, and finally decided to copy the defensive strategy of the Warriors G1 - pinch the ball to break through, pinch the passing route, and test the ability of the Warriors players to handle the ball.

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers' defensive strategy played a role.

The Warriors won the last game too easily, their mentality was a little relaxed, and they passed the ball more casually. Under the Cavaliers' targeted defense, they made several mistakes in a row.

Director Lu put all his eggs in one basket, the Cavaliers shrank, and laid a net around the Warriors' ball handlers. As long as Curry, Leonard, and Antetokounmpo got in, it would be difficult to pass the ball out.

Before the game, Director Lu also deliberately showed the Cavaliers players the predictions of the media and commentators, but the specific analysis process was hidden, only the conclusion of "the Cavaliers must lose" at the end, which made the Cavaliers furious and full of fighting spirit .

After the start of the game, the effect of the aggressive method was immediate. The Cavaliers' defense was very tough, and they locked the Warriors' offense without fear of the boos from the Chase Center.

Looking back, the Cavaliers also played quite tough. Irving and James took turns to attack the Warriors inside.
At 6 minutes and 15 seconds of the first quarter, as James broke through the penalty area, causing Olynyk's second foul, scoring 2+1, the Cavaliers led by 15 points at 11:4-this is also the Cavaliers' biggest in these two games leading edge.

"Di-"

Before James stood at the free throw line, Zhang Yu called a timeout.

After a few minutes of observation, he figured out the knight's tactics, and he was ready to make adjustments immediately.

Zhang Yu first scolded everyone to wake them up, then replaced Olynik, who was the second offender, with Green, sent out the dead five, and then changed his offensive tactics.

After returning from the timeout, James missed a free throw and the rebound was protected by Antetokounmpo.

The Warriors attacked, Green held the ball at the top of the arc, Antetokounmpo screened Clay on the right, and Irving and Love were all attracted.

At the same time, Curry screened for Leonard on the weak side. Leonard pretended to go up, and after deceiving James, he suddenly ran back, threw off James, made an air cut to the basket, and received a pass from Green. Buckle up, 15:13.

Looking back, the Cavaliers opened up the space, James and Love picked and rolled, and the Warriors switched defenses.

James used the cover to start and carried Green to the penalty area.

Green's defensive skills remained undiminished, and even improved, which greatly slowed James' footsteps. Antetokounmpo assisted in the defense in time and slapped James' layup.

Curry picked up a layup, rushed to the frontcourt for a long distance, rushed to the inside, and hit a high rebound to score. At 15:15, the Warriors tied the score.

In the round transition, Irving singled out Clay and made a jumper with an emergency stop, 15:17.

The Warriors attack, Green holds the ball at the top of the arc, Curry and Clay run cross screens on the bottom line, the Cavaliers defense is chaotic, Irving wants to switch defenses, Smith wants to continue marking, Clay runs out of space, receives a pass from Green, and enters the net with a three-pointer , 18:17.

In the next round, James singled out Leonard. Under Leonard's interference, he turned over and hit the iron with a jumper. The rebound was accepted by Green.

The Warriors immediately turned from defense to offense, Green advanced in the middle, Antetokounmpo and Leonard quickly stepped forward, and the Splash Brothers flew together.

The Cavaliers retreated in chaos. Irving and Richard Jefferson both went to stare at Curry. James and Love followed Leonard and Clay respectively. Smith ran to defend Green. Clay was missed. Green passed the ball, went up and down, and hit the net with a three-pointer, 21:17.

"Yeah!!"

"Clay! Beautiful!"

Clay's chasing three-pointer ignited the enthusiastic atmosphere in the Chase Center. He himself was extremely excited, stuck out his tongue, raised his hands, raised three fingers, and ran back to the backcourt.

"Yes!" Zhang Yu also punched hard, applauding loudly.

On the other side of the technical table, Director Lu stood up nervously and loudly directed the Cavaliers to return to defense.

He started to panic. The Warriors haven't played much passes and cuts this season. Why did they suddenly go back to the old way?
Director Lu didn't expect that the Warriors, with their four major stars, could run passes and cuts. Without a plan, the Cavaliers didn't know how to defend.

They have been practicing for the past two days how to defend against the Warriors' four-star ball-holding singles. When encountering the Warriors' smooth pass and cut cooperation, they all panicked and made frequent mistakes.

And this is Zhang Yu's purpose. If the Warriors don't play pass and cut, it doesn't mean they won't play pass and cut.

The tacit understanding accumulated in the five years of death has never faded, and they can play smooth pass and cut cooperation at any time.

The Warriors didn't play this way before, but they didn't need it. The three opponents in the West were too weak to even hinder the Warriors in the slightest. The Warriors could win the game without any effort.

The intensity of the finals has increased a bit, and the Cavaliers are also stronger. The tough defense has made the Warriors' simple tactics encounter some obstacles.

So Zhang Yu switched back to the pass-and-cut mode and caught the Cavaliers by surprise.

On the defensive end, the ultimate rotation of the Death Five came back out of the rivers and lakes, like a net full of elasticity, which can be retracted to protect the frame at any time, and can be stretched out to defend the three-pointer at any time. Leonard, Antetokounmpo, Green The four iron locks of Clay and Clay take turns to play, and the rest are watching. The Cavaliers can only play singles and don't even think about passing.

James has increased the frequency of hitting the basket, but what he encountered was the defense of the three strikers Leonard, Green, and Antetokounmpo. It is not comparable to Olynyk. He was blocked twice in the first quarter. Embarrassed.

In Zhang Yu's previous life, James could always play luxurious statistics against the Warriors. On the one hand, it was because the Warriors' tactics indulged his singles, and on the other hand, it was also because the Warriors' death five small guards were weak, which gave James a chance to break through the frame.

He has enjoyed the dividends of the small ball era, and he no longer has to face annoying big centers, and he will be excited when he hits the Warriors.

But now, the Warriors' striker configuration is not Green + Iguodala + Durant, but Green + Leonard + Antetokounmpo. The defensive strength and frame protection ability have been improved by more than one level. It doesn't take much advantage, and breaking in is also at the end of the battle, and it is covered in disgrace.

This time, he won't get the bonus.

If he was 5 years younger, James would not have put the Warriors' small ball lineup in his eyes, but now, he is powerless, and it is very difficult to break in and score a layup.

As long as he misses a layup and the Warriors get the rebound, they will immediately counterattack, and the dead five will intersperse with running positions, three passes and two leads, and the Cavaliers' defensive formation will be completely disrupted. Bo's aesthetics of violence.

On the contrary, Irving, who shoots better, is not afraid of the Warriors' heavy strikers, like swimming fish, shuttles back and forth in the Warriors' defensive formation, dodges, and scores more efficiently than James.

It’s just that Irving alone can’t support himself. After the first quarter, the Warriors relied on sharp counterattacks + efficient passing and cutting, leading the Cavaliers by 44 points 28:16, and almost spent the game in one quarter.
