Chapter 204 Team Victory
Pavlovich's scoring ability is limited, and Harrington's defensive pressure is not great, but he can't go out to help defend and double-team. After all, even the purest blue-collar player will still pay the price if he is left empty at the basket.

Facing Roy's defense alone, James suddenly appeared to be more than capable.

Relying on his physical advantages, James once again made a breakthrough.

Pavlovich failed to give him a wider breakthrough space, but Harrington's deterrence in the interior is undoubtedly much smaller, and James easily reached the interior and made a layup.

It's not surprising that the Warriors can't stop James. It's better to say that it's impossible if the Warriors can really lock James.

The on-site commentary didn't think the Warriors' defense was a big problem this time, but Barkley noticed the Cavaliers' offensive adjustments for the first time.

"Huh? Just now I seemed to see Pavlovich go inside, and Wang ran to the position where Pavlovich should have been. Did they change positions on the offensive end? A big player like Wang with a height of 218cm played a small player. Forward, what a bold attempt."

Reggie Miller immediately added: "Yes, this is very different from the Cavaliers' usual way of employing people. It seems very bold, but it has a certain effect. Pavlovic has almost no shooting ability on the outside, which makes the Warriors defend him. Players can give up defending him unscrupulously, choose to double-team James, and limit his ability to drive the entire team, and Pavlovich has no way to play any role on the offensive end, but when he enters the inside, the Warriors It is impossible for the team to let him shoot under the basket easily, and Wang Zhizhi's precise shooting from the outside helped James win better single-handed opportunities, which is a very smart adjustment."

In fact, Miller is very clear that it is impossible for Cavaliers coach Mike Brown to make such adjustments on the spot. It is likely that this is a spontaneous choice made by the players on the field.

On the defensive end, Wang Zhizhi returned to the inside and continued to form twin towers with Ilgauskas, forcing the Warriors to choose outside attack.

But Milicic and Harrington are both inside players with strong shooting ability. If the two of them don't follow up, the Warriors can often get more opportunities to play less on the offensive end.

In this case, it is impossible for James to keep an eye on being late.

Especially when he saw that the other players of the Warriors felt good today, he also had to choose to switch and supplement defense.

As long as there are slightly accurate shooters in this league, their shooting percentage will definitely not be too low in the case of open shots. If they are always allowed to shoot open shots, the Cavaliers can't afford to be hurt.

This led to the Cavaliers' intention to use the inside twin towers to defend firmly, but they did not play out at all. Instead, the performance of these two inside big men on the offensive end was more dazzling than on the defensive end.

It can only be said that they happened to meet a team like the Warriors that mainly shoots from outside, which greatly weakened the role of big men inside.

The Warriors feel good today, and the players have a clear tactical arrangement.

Milicic and Harrington insisted on finding a way to hook the two big men inside the Cavaliers, and then other Warriors players could shoot from the outside.

When the two big men are hooked, the Cavaliers' defense on the rebound is obviously not enough.

James' ability to compete for defensive rebounds is actually very strong, but he must always be vigilant about being late by two steps or so outside the three-point line, which makes him have no chance to go back to the basket to grab rebounds.

The Cavaliers, with the twin towers inside, actually lost to the Warriors in rebounding!
So Scottie Pippen, who is famous for Chi Hei and Zhan Hei, sprayed wildly on the performance of the two teams on the field.

"This is probably the lowest level of the finals in history. Whether it is the Cavaliers or the Warriors, they are not worthy of entering the finals. In our era, any team at the playoff level is enough to hang them."

Audience: Hehe, super shooters like latecomers were equally difficult to guard against in your era.

Why is Scottie Pippen so bad-mouthing this year's Finals?

Not for historical status.

A professional player, in addition to the honors he has won, his historical status in the league is equally important.

Pippen believes that being late may threaten Jordan's No. 1 status in history. If he really succeeds, as the second in command of the former No. 1 in history, won't his evaluation immediately decline?

And LeBron James, this is not a good thing either!
He has already started to snatch my Erye Pi's position as the number one small forward in history, how can this be tolerated?

So for Pi Erye, explaining this year's finals is simply a kind of torment.

No matter which team wins the championship, his historical status as Pi Erye will be threatened.

Could it be that his Pi Erye's level really doesn't tell that the Cavaliers' inability to keep the defensive rebounds is not a problem with the inside twin towers at all, but because of the Cavaliers' own tactical reasons?
Under the pull of two big men with shooting ability, both Ilgauskas and Wang Zhizhi had to be forced to stay away from the basket. With their poor athletic ability, once they leave the basket, they are almost like stakes?

But he just wants to spray.

Because many fans who watch the game don’t understand these at all. They only look at the statistics, especially the inside players who grab fewer rebounds and score fewer points. That is their own problem.

This is not only the case for Chinese fans, but also for many American fans who claim to know basketball.

But the situation on the court will not change because of Pi Erye's wild spray.

There is no good way for the Cavaliers to take the Warriors on the defensive end!

Regardless of the speed, the Warriors let the two big men inside the Cavaliers run wildly to consume energy.

But the Warriors have no good way to take the Cavaliers on the defensive end. Wang Zhizhi's long-range shooting at the small forward position and James' breakthrough produced an unexpected chemical reaction.

In Reggie Miller's words, although Wang Zhizhi can't hit the rim like ordinary small forwards and cause damage to the Warriors' inside line, he doesn't need to do so at all, because the Cavaliers have a more powerful super breakthrough player.

When James rushes up, he is like a tank, and his unique physical talent makes him invincible on the basketball court.

In this league, there are only a few players who can really limit James and make him deflate after he emerges, but the inside combination of Milicic and Harrington obviously does not have such qualifications.

When the other players of the Warriors shot away and James had to focus more on the offensive end, the most terrifying scoring point of the Warriors was finally unlocked!
At 4:22 of the first quarter, the Warriors played a wonderful passing game. The Cavaliers' two inside big men couldn't keep up with Harrington because of their slow movement speed, which allowed him to get a shot from the outside.

James had to give up the late marking and turned to fill Harrington's position.

He was actually about the same height as Harrington, and the interference was very effective.

But Harrington is very honest in the team now, and he doesn't mess around at all. He chose to pass the ball the first moment he saw James coming.

James' defense is actually very good. When he went to defend Harrington, he had already considered that Harrington might pass the ball to the late player, so he blocked the passing route of the two when he moved.

But Harrington gave the ball to Roy, allowing the ball to be transferred for a while before it fell into the late hands.

There was no one around the late catcher -- it had been a long time since he had tasted the ability to shoot in such an almost completely open situation.

There was no hesitation in being late, he opened his bow and set his arrows, and shot at super fast speed.

Hughes, who was actively making up defenses, was still a step too late after all. He could only watch the late shot draw a curved arc in the air, and then plunged into the net.

There was a sigh in the Quicken Loans Center arena.

Being late seemed a bit of an opportunity in the first 4 minutes, but as soon as he made a three-pointer, Cavaliers fans knew that the ball was probably there.

At this time, the Cavaliers fans really hated being late. How could there be such a precise shot in this world?

Is he a monster from an alien?
But they seem to have forgotten how elated and grateful they were for being late this season when LeBron James used the three-pointers he learned from being late to repeatedly make his opponents sigh.

Barkley said with a smile: "Late is a little quiet today. This is his first shot today, but his touch is still so soft. I believe that as long as you see the guy he shoots, you will definitely say in your heart, oh my god. This pervert should leave the earth immediately."

Reggie Miller said with deep love and responsibility, and said in a heavy tone: "However, Chi's performance today is not satisfactory. He was suppressed by LeBron on the offensive end. As a super shooter, this should not be. I think He didn't play to his full strength."

Being late is not about being obsessed with having to decide the outcome with James at this time, and playing according to the team's established tactics.

This may make him seem to be suppressed by James, but his teammates got more possession of the ball. Under the premise of successful tactical targeting, in fact, the shooting rate of late teammates is not low.

Once you score late, it is like igniting a powder keg that has been silent for a long time.

Continuous explosions hit Cleveland, and ICBMs reappeared in the world after 1 minute.

At that time, the Cavaliers missed the offense, and the Cavaliers, who seemed a little afraid of being hit by the Warriors for a quick counterattack, immediately chose to return to defense.

Late received a pass from a teammate near the free throw line, turned around and directly pushed with both hands.

James' face was so dark that it was ugly.

He knows how terrible the late range is, but he doesn't seem to be willing to actively use such skills in most cases.

James guessed that it was probably late that scoring in this way would completely lose the suspense of the game and make him less fun to challenge.

But if I do it occasionally, I'm happy to be late.

So the ball pierced the night sky in Cleveland without anyone marking it.
