warrior godfather

The last quarter was uneventful, Director Lu didn't even struggle anymore.

"James is tired" - these are the original words of Yang Yi. He is the guest commentator of this game. After James' offense was blocked in the third quarter, he said this famous sentence many times.

In the fourth quarter, James went down after playing for a few minutes, and Irving stayed on the court to lead the team.

With a big lead, offense is no longer the Warriors' top priority.

To deal with Irving, Zhang Yu came up with a completely different defensive strategy.

Zhang Yu replaced Caruso, who had only played in garbage time in the playoffs before, and led the defense against Irving. The 45-degree strikers on both sides swipe their cards to help defend. Wrapped in layers.

Caruso is little-known, but his defense is very tough. He clings to Irving almost desperately, giving Owen a very intense physical confrontation, which makes him very uncomfortable.

The Warriors' follow-up defenses were also blocked layer by layer. Irving was struggling with every step, and his passes were often intercepted and counterattacked.

And he is the only ball-holding starting point on the Cavaliers field, and the only stable scorer. When he is restricted, the Cavaliers' offense collapses.

On the other hand, for the Warriors, Wiggins continued his excellent form from the previous game, and he was full of offensive aggression. Dinwiddie was calm and steady, patiently looking for every scoring opportunity, that is, the rotation space is too poor to continue to expand the point difference.

At 7 minutes and 12 seconds into the fourth quarter, the Warriors still maintained a lead of more than 20 points.

Director Lu no longer made unnecessary efforts, took the initiative to call a timeout, replaced Irving, conceded the throw, and the game entered garbage time.

Zhang Yu also made adjustments, replacing Dinwiddie and Green with Brogdon and Zhou Qi to train the young people in the team.

This time, the Cavaliers' bench lineup failed to narrow the point difference. In the end, the Warriors beat the Cavaliers 138:114, leading 2:0.

At the end of the game, James still chose to leave the field early like G1.

Warriors fans on both sides booed him as he walked into the tunnel:
"LeBron, are you running away again?"

"Go back to Cleveland, you coward!"

"Congratulations, LeBron, you're about to get your sixth runner-up, haha!"

James didn't take the Warriors fans' ridicule to heart, but when he heard the last sentence, he stopped for a moment, then suddenly quickened his pace, and his figure disappeared in the darkness of the player tunnel.

At the same time, the firework machines around the stadium spewed out colorful firework streamers, which fluttered down in a voluptuous manner, further igniting the hot atmosphere in Chase Center.

Owen stood in front of the Cavaliers' bench, raised his head slightly, stared at the slowly falling fireworks, and was dazed, with deep envy in his eyes.

After a while, he came back to his senses, walked onto the court, and shook hands with the Warriors players.

Curry came to Irving, stretched out his hands, and the two hugged each other. Curry said:

"Come on, Kyrie, you played really well."

Tonight, Irving made 28 of 13 shots, 8 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 3 free throws, scored 32 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds and 5 turnovers. He played quite well, but he didn't drive the team's overall offense.

It's hard for him to play well. The Cavaliers' possession of the ball is concentrated in the hands of him and James. If it weren't for the fact that he led the team alone in the fourth quarter and lowered his shooting percentage, Irving's performance would only be better.

He didn't know Caruso at all, but Caruso knew him well, grabbed the basketball from him twice, and caught him off guard.

Owen smiled bitterly:
"Thank you, but I didn't play well enough...Congratulations, Stephen, you dominated this game, and you deserve this victory even more."

Owen is not hesitant to praise his opponents. Whether he wins or loses, he will not lose his demeanor, and he will always be humble and polite in front of others.

Tonight, Curry clocked in three quarters, made 22 of 13 shots, 8 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He easily scored 33 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds and 1 steal, and only sent 2 turnovers.

The Cavaliers' defense on the outside was useless. Curry first ran without the ball to create opportunities for his teammates, and then instigated pick-and-rolls with the ball, blasting Love and Smith, and also driving the Warriors' offense.

Of his 12 assists, 5 were passes to Antetokounmpo. After the Cavaliers changed to a small lineup in the third quarter, the interior defense was empty. All the empty catches were caught by him.

In addition, Clay scored 23 points, Leonard had 18 points, Antetokounmpo had 17 points, Wiggins had 14 points, Dinwiddie had 11 points, and six Warriors scored in double figures.

Clay, who had been silent for a long time, finally scored a 20+ game. The Warriors' passes and cuts in the first half created many open opportunities for him. He seized them all and scored 19 points in the first half.

In the third quarter, Zhang Yu adjusted his tactics. Clay only scored 4 points, clocked in three quarters, and took a rest.

……

In the post-match interview, the Cavaliers couldn't hide their frustration.

Two consecutive defeats wiped out all the fighting spirit in their hearts, and the desire to win that was inspired by Director Lu before the game also disappeared with the fiasco.

James, who had vowed before the game that he would lead the team to win, looked depressed after the game and said:
"We've tried everything, but we still can't win. It's a terrible loss. We're in a very dangerous situation. It's our last chance to go back home. We have to find a way to win. The way of the Warriors..." James tried to show a determination to never give up, but everyone could see the loss and frustration on his face.

His most loyal younger brother, Smith, also lost his former self-confidence:

"The Warriors' lineup is too abnormal. I really can't figure out how to beat the Warriors. They have no weaknesses. There has never been such a lineup in the league. We are playing with a sense of desperation..."

From top to bottom, the Cavaliers have lost confidence.

Only Owen maintained a peaceful mind. When the reporter asked him about his evaluation of G2, Owen said:
"We played very hard, and we will return to the home court in the next game. We must work harder to defend our home court..."

His answer was very short, did not reveal the slightest frustration, not as sad as his teammates, as if the loss had nothing to do with him.

After watching the video of Irving's interview, the fans felt that Irving had been able to maintain a stable mentality and a strong psychological quality after such a disastrous defeat.

Jamie forgot the promise James made before the game, and stared at the poor data of the Cavaliers players except James and Irving-Love 14 points, Smith 7 points, Jefferson 8 points, Tristan Thompson 6 points Points, Korver 5 points, Shumpert 4 points, venting the grievances in my heart:

"Old Zhan played so well, but he still couldn't win the game, because his teammates dragged him down!"

"How can Love be so soft? Wasn't he very good in the Timberwolves before, why did he slip down when he got to the Cavaliers? Trash management, what a bad eye!"

"Fuck! The Cavaliers only scored 17 points from the bench, more than 20 points less than the Warriors! James won't be able to play after he gets off the court, right? A bunch of trash!"

今天晚上，詹姆斯27投12中，三分6中2，罚球10中7，砍下33分14助攻11篮板3抢断1封盖的豪华三双，和库里不相上下。

James' statistics are so gorgeous, of course the fans will not blame him, the Cavaliers' loss can only be borne by others.

Irving also performed very well, and was interrupted a few times in the fourth quarter, but the Cavaliers were already behind by a big score at that time, and no one expected Irving to lead the team to comeback, so no one complained about Irving.

The tactics arranged by Director Lu made James and Irving score high scores, so it is not his fault.

Although in an interview, he confessed that he was not prepared to defend the Warriors' passing and cutting tactics.

Cavaliers fans don’t think it’s Lu’s fault. The Warriors really don’t make big passes this season. The four stars don’t have enough possessions. They can solve the problem by just taking the ball and attacking. Isn’t it superfluous to play passes? ?

No one thought that the Warriors would come up with a pass cut, and Zhang Yu's adjustment was unexpected.

Then, other players can only take the blame.

Among them, Love was the most criticized. He only took 10 shots tonight and scored 14 points. The efficiency is very good, but for a star, such a score obviously cannot satisfy the fans, especially in a game. In fiasco.

Shortly after the game ended, Love was covered in labels of "soft egg", "brush" and "colander", and was sprayed all over his body.

He gradually got the same treatment as Bosh, but Bosh still has the experience of leading the playoffs with a single core and multiple All-Star resumes.
Love was the boss of the big team before, and he was belittled even worse. Almost all the grievances of the Cavaliers fans were directed at him.

……

When the Warriors were interviewed, they were all elated, leading 2:0, and they can take a reassurance.

Players lauded his teammates' play, with Curry getting the most praise for seamlessly switching between off-ball and on-ball modes with impeccable performance.

The current Curry has not gained weight like he did later. His nimble footsteps, concise dribbles, clever breakthroughs, and crazy three-pointers are all a visual feast.

Even the Cavaliers players, after the disastrous defeat, did not forget to praise Curry's performance. Irving even said, "Curry is my brother, and he has entered another realm."

Only when James was asked about Curry's performance today, he was vague and took it all away.

If he holds several championships like Curry, he will definitely praise Curry's performance. No one is more graceful than him.

But when James thought that the sixth runner-up was waving to him, he only had resentment towards Curry.

The 6 champions are GOAT, and the 6 runners-up can only be tragic heroes.

James doesn't want to be a tragic hero, he wants to be a GOAT.

However, Curry refused to let him be GOAT.

He really couldn't praise Curry's performance against his will, not even once.
