Chapter 598: Struggle
"God, the Cavaliers are really in a hurry, and they actually use such a lineup!"
"I can't believe it, this is the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, and if we lose, the Cavaliers won't really be over. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"The most consistent player in the whole game was Kevin Love, what does it mean to be replaced now. โ
"I can take Tristan Thompson off, but I don't quite understand when I take Kevin Love off. โ
"It seems that the Nets are putting too much pressure on the Cavaliers, and now they have to take such a risk and change to small ball. โ
Xiao Ran has been limiting James' offense, Dinwiddie, Scola and others have also limited Kyrie Irving's offense, they don't target tactics, only team members, and without changing the lineup, the Cavaliers have no hope at all. โ
"This is really ruthless, Vanderwicki is worthy of being an old coach, and his coaching ability is really strong, and he immediately grasped the weakness of the Cavaliers. โ
"That's right, how are they changing their tactics, the Nets just need to watch James and Kyrie Irving, they don't need to care about anything else, Tyronn Lue really has nothing to do but change the lineup now. โ
"I thought that in today's game, the Cavaliers still have a lot of hope, but now it seems that there is no bubble of hope. โ
The lineup was changed, and the second quarter of the game began.
Iman Shampert (born June 26, 1990 in Oaks, Illinois) is a professional basketball player who plays as a shooting guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA.
Shampert entered the NBA through the draft in 2011 and played for the Knicks and Cavaliers, where he was named to the All-Rookie First Team in his rookie season.
He's an athletic two-up guard who has good ball control but can't play, can shoot corner threes, and has poor finishing ability; Good defensively, easy to get out of control, and fouls are too many.
However, in this kind of fast-break game, defensive ability is no longer so important, and the important thing is offensive speed.
It has to be said that Iman Shampert is a good fit for the current league.
Then there's Channing Frye, who is a very low center, but a center who is very good at three-point shooting.
She also couldn't imagine that a center could shoot outside the three-point line, and the shooting rate was extremely high!
Ten years ago, maybe no one believed that there would be such a centre-forward, but now, it's a fact.
Channing Frye is very well suited to the current small-ball play, not only is he fast, but he is also good at shooting, and he is good at breaking fast and finding space to create opportunities.
It can be said that Channing Frye can play both a center with a small ball and a big forward with a regular lineup!
Such a lineup is an arrangement that the Cavaliers have long had, but it is not as easy to use as imagined.
It is also a last resort to take out this lineup today, after all, their strongest lineup is still a regular lineup......
With this set of lineups, there are indeed a lot more scoring points, and the Nets are obviously not able to use the method of targeting James and Kyrie Irving.
In this quarter of the game, the Cavaliers are pursuing scoring, and their ability to defend is greatly reduced.
However, the Nets are still unchanged and have not made any roster changes.
To be honest, in the regular season, the Nets played too many small lineups, and now seeing the Cavaliers change this lineup, I don't think there is any problem at all, but I am relieved.
After the start of the game, the Cavaliers' offense was instantly activated, and it can be said that the fast movement of all the players made the Nets a little uncomfortable, but in a short time, the players got used to it.
The Cavaliers' fast break speed is not slow, but compared with the Warriors, Rockets and other teams that specialize in playing small ball, it is not a little bit worse.
First of all, the run-and-bomb tactics are far less powerful than those two teams.
In this quarter, the Cavaliers wanted to use the fast break to open up the situation, but after the game started, things were not what he thought.
The Cavaliers broke through several times, but when it came to scoring, James and Kyrie Irving were instantly defended, and the others even released them directly and let them shoot three points at will!
But inside, Scola and Lรณpez defended very tightly.
The current Nets are mainly targeting James and Kyrie Irving, and no one else.
Second, in addition to defending these two guys, the Nets let other Cavaliers players shoot on the outside, but on the inside, the Nets won't let them shoot casually.
In this way, the fast break that the Cavaliers wanted was played, but the shooting percentage was still frighteningly low!
The whole stadium saw that the players were running very positively, but very inefficiently!
The Cavaliers could go on three or four offenses a minute, but they couldn't score, and a few times the morale of the Cavaliers' players dropped to the extreme.
The traditional lineup, the Cavaliers couldn't find a breakthrough, the small-ball lineup, after being blocked by two cannons, the few remaining small guns of the Cavaliers couldn't make any movement, and they watched the score difference widen and widened.
When the game fell into this passivity in the second quarter, the Cavaliers' hopes of victory were slim.
Because the Nets know all too well about the Cavaliers' weaknesses!
With James and Kyrie Irving at bay, the Cavaliers don't have any firepower to form an effective, consistent output.
The defense can't be defended, the offense can't be attacked, and the entire Cavaliers have fallen into despair!
James was full of energy, but he couldn't use it.
Looking at the serious Xiao Ran in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
I'm afraid this is the real super player, one person can carry the rhythm of a whole team and sublimate the whole team.
James is also a superstar, and he has always thought that a player like him, who can lead the team to the finals almost every year, is already the strongest player.
But I didn't expect that there was a player like Xiao Ran who could carry the player who had always been at the bottom of the league, and also brought this team to the Eastern Conference Finals, and even entered the Finals immediately!
What kind of person is this who can make such a big change in the whole team.
The confidence on the faces of the Nets players and the tacit cooperation are all contributed by Xiao Ran alone.
is such a person who has turned the entire NBA upside down.
Now James has to admit that Xiao Ran is much stronger than him, and there are too many!
In the first half of the game, the Cavaliers changed their tactics and still failed to let the team win, and the point difference continued to widen throughout the second quarter.
At this time, the Cavaliers already have a 21-point trail, and the hope of victory is already 0!
But this is their last chance, Tyronn Lue wants to give up, the players don't want to give up yet, they can only continue to struggle on the field and work hard......
