Chapter 187 The Finals Started From Trash Talk

This wave of commercial bragging disgusted many people. For example, Mr. David Stern, the president of the NBA, was almost shown by these two people.

The media controlled by the league is desperately advocating the grievances and grievances between the Cavaliers and the Warriors-however, even if you look through the short history books of American, it is difficult to find out what is the life and death enmity between Cleveland and Oakland. Xia had no choice but to boast that "now is the world of young people."

The media is still citing that these two people are still only 23 years old and have led the team to the finals as the first core team, and they will surely reproduce the grand occasion of football double pride in the NBA. It's very nerve-wracking to be late and blow each other up, okay?

The local fans in Cleveland sang and danced to celebrate the team's entry into the finals. After all, Cleveland is only a small city.

Before the game started that day, the Quicken Loans Arena was already full. During the warm-up training, James specially shot a few three-pointers. His posture was almost exactly the same as that of Late. He almost didn’t jump at all. He used his shooting speed to avoid the opponent’s block— - People with a discerning eye can see at a glance who he learned from when he made three-pointers. No wonder he will brag with Late Business.

When James sprinkled chalk into the sky, the cheers of the Quicken Loans Arena reached its climax. After a grand ceremony, the Cavaliers played at home against the Warriors in Game 06 of the 07-1 season finals.

The Cavaliers' starting five: Zajunas Ilgauskas (Big Z), Wang Zhizhi, Alexander Pavlovich, Larry Hughes, LeBron James.

This lineup is actually quite terrifying. The shortest Larry Hughes has 196cm, and James, who is 203cm tall, directly serves as the point guard.

Big Z was selected as an All-Star substitute in the two seasons of 02-03 and 04-05. He has low-post singles on the offensive end and long-range shooting ability. When James is hindered on the offensive end, Big Z will often become the Cavaliers' first [-]. The starting point of the attack.

However, Big Z also has a big problem. His defensive ability is not very strong, especially his physical strength is extremely poor, and his lateral movement ability and defense assistance ability are almost non-existent.

Wang Zhizhi's fate was changed by being late. He has played at a speed that can be called heaven-defying this year. He has evolved from a small role without the ball. The biggest discovery this year-he signed a two-year basic salary contract with the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers really picked it up.

The most important thing is that Wang Zhizhi's skills are actually very good. Occasionally, he can show off a breakthrough with the ball from outside the three-point line, which can often bring surprises to fans.

Not to mention Hughes, before teaming up with James, he was once selected to the best defensive team, and had an outstanding performance of 22+ per game in the season-only after joining James, he lacked possession of the ball. It can be said that it has plummeted.

The most BUG is James, who is playing point guard. At this time, he is still very young, with super athletic ability, and can often stage some amazing dunks with his head flat.

His ball-handling ability is not the best, his passing ability is not the best, his breakthrough ability is not the best... But he is very comprehensive in every skill and his basic skills are very solid, which allows him to control the ball. The guard position has become an unsolvable problem.

The Warriors' lineup has undergone a small change, with Milicic, Harrington, Grant Hill, Stephen Jackson and Late.

Strictly speaking, Hill should be a shooting guard, but the Warriors were late and there was a super rookie like Roy. Hill was squeezed into the small forward. With his outstanding basketball talent and IQ, he quickly The transition was successful and became a great boost to the Warriors' wing.

Today Roy was arranged to bring a substitute, also because the physique of the Warriors is close to that of James, only Stephen Jackson.

Big Z's physical fitness is poor, Kong has a height of 221cm, but Milicic beat the jump ball, Roy easily received the ball, and then passed it late, the Warriors took the lead in attacking.

James posted it immediately, defending against the position!

The game has just started, and the super cores of the two teams have a direct dialogue.

"I said, I will do my best." James grinned slightly, showing his white teeth.

"Then let's try." Late responded curtly, then continued to walk toward the Cavaliers half court with the ball.

James retreated while defending. He planned to wait until late to enter the Cavaliers' three-point line before starting to increase his defensive intensity.

"I'm very optimistic about you. In the future, you will become the Thanos of the East, and no one else will be your opponent." Late slowly took control of the ball, and his mouth was not idle.

Coincidentally, there are also two people inside the Cavaliers talking now, but unlike James and the late friend... the two people inside the Cavaliers are spouting trash.

"You Lithuanian softie, I'll tear you to shreds." This is Milicic.

"Ha, you Serbian bastard, I'll beat you till you go home crying to your mother." This is Big Z Ilgauskas.

Sure enough, the painting style of these two people is like the real finals.

Ilgauskas is tall, but his confrontation ability is not strong, and he was squeezed out of the position by Milicic.

But he was late and did not choose to pass the ball. He gestured to his teammates, and Milicic opened the space sullenly.

In the last round of the series against the Rockets, Milicic was bullied enough by Yao Ming. Now he has finally found a big man who is not so strong in confrontation. He is about to vent his depression of being bullied in the last round. Unfortunately, the boss seems to be determined to persist Old Nelson's tactics before the game.

The Cavaliers are actually a defense-oriented team. Wang Zhizhi was able to gain a firm foothold in this team, in fact, relying on defense and three-pointers. How similar is this to being late when he first joined the league?

Wang Zhizhi's real height is 218 cm, and his wingspan is very good among people of yellow race. Even if his athletic ability is slightly weak, he can still reach the center position at critical moments.

It's a pity that besides Yao Ming, there are no super centers with dominance at the basket in this league at present-O'Neal is no longer available.

Howard, who has been placed high hopes by the American media, is actually a jumper with no skills at the basket, but he especially likes to throw discus in singles under the basket.

The Warriors have studied the Cavaliers for a long time, and they have already seen the weaknesses of the Cavaliers. They are similar to the Rockets inside, with good defensive ability, but poor mobility, especially when Ilgauskas and Wang Zhizhi When playing inside together, their ability to defend the pick-and-roll is almost equal to zero.

Especially Ilgauskas, he moves very slowly and is often easily broken by smaller players. Wang Zhizhi must always defend and help defend under the basket.

The reason why the Cavaliers have a good record is not only weak in the Eastern Conference, but also related to their strong perimeter defense.

Hughes used to be the best defensive first team player, James has excellent physical fitness and is willing to do the dirty work related to defense.

It can be said that James' comprehensiveness determines that the lower limit of his team will not be too low, but he especially needs the ball, and his shooting ability is not stable enough, so he must match a lineup that suits him to be able to hit the championship.

At present, James is quite satisfied with the Cavaliers' lineup. Although Ilgauskas and Wang Zhizhi have obvious weaknesses, after all, it is an era when the league's insiders are dying. In fact, these two people are not weak in the league.

The tactics arranged by the Warriors are almost the same as when they were playing against the Rockets, either by raising the tempo and leading the Cavaliers to run wildly. The inside combination of Milicic and Harrington can hit the Cavaliers basket by virtue of their athletic ability , Enhance the offensive rebound.

Either reduce the tempo, Milicic or Harrington pull it out, and cooperate with the late pick-and-roll.

He was late for the first attack and didn't choose two. He planned to try to see what level James is now.

The two trained together for almost two full months in the summer. The two sides have long been aware of each other's weaknesses. James now has confrontation, bounce, and movement speed on the defensive end. It is indeed very difficult. This is Brought to him by outstanding talent.

James has been staring at Late, keeping a distance where he can interfere with shooting at any time. When he saw Late take the ball to a distance of about two steps beyond the three-point line, James took the initiative to post it.

Many players now feel that late is one of the most difficult players to defend in this league.

After mastering the breakthrough technique, he relied on his weird rhythm changes and his scalp-numbing three-pointers, making it difficult to make a decision on the defensive end.

It's a pity that James knows the weakness of being late, and has already thought of a way to deal with being late-personal confrontation.

Unlike those black players, Late has a well-proportioned body and doesn't look very muscular, but his confrontation ability is not weak at all. At least when facing most heavy point guards in the league, he will not suffer too much.

It's a pity that James is really the most special one. Even now, his physical confrontation ability is at least at the top level of a small forward. He is invincible at the back line, and he also has a very good moving speed.

Late tried several tempo changes, but failed to break through James' defense.

"Little Zhan Zhan, you are going too far, you are eating me with your body!" Late dribbled the ball behind his back and handed it to his left hand, complaining casually.

James didn't know that these little tricks of being late were not fooled at all, and he kept his full attention. He was secretly happy. It seemed that the strategy he thought of before had worked.

Relying on his advantage in physical talent, he directly confronts Late at close quarters, disrupts Late's center of gravity, interferes with his rhythm, and makes it impossible for him to start and break through - Late also prefers to use this trick when he first entered the league. My opponent, even a breakthrough master like Tony Parker, has suffered from being late. I didn't expect that James would use the same move to deal with him now.

When he was late, one head and two big. Although he himself liked to use this trick, he really couldn't break James' defense.

This kind of confrontation with physical advantages, which interferes with the opponent's breakthrough and shooting rhythm, is an upright conspiracy in terms of military tactics, and small tricks are useless.
