The Cavaliers' backwardness is directly related to Coach McBrown's substitutions. In order to strengthen the defense, he replaced blue-collar center Biedrins for 5 minutes in the third quarter, but the Cavaliers were dumb on the offensive end, and James was constantly caught near the restricted area, and Pavlovic and Damon Jones could not shoot three points.

Biedrins has no power to block and dismantle, and he can't shoot at all outside the restricted area, and when he cuts to the basket, he will be pulled by the Suns players and sent to the free throw line. He can play small-ball tactics when he plays with the Suns, and will not become a defensive hole in the restricted area.

Jones, who once boasted of being the No. 1 scorer in the universe, was completely useless, and as long as there was a person standing in front of him, he didn't have the confidence to shoot, and he shot 0 of 2 three-pointers. Pavlovich didn't do as well as he did in the regular season, shooting 0-of-2 from three-point range.

Teammates couldn't pull away, which forced James to shoot three-pointers, and his 1-of-4 three-pointers were just as bad. If it weren't for Marshall and Gibson's outside line, it would have been garbage time now.

Thinking that they would become the background board for Guo Xu to create a historical record, all the knights were demoralized, and they were quickly beaten 13 to 2 under the impact of the trident and surrendered.

The more the Cavaliers can't shoot from the outside, the more the Suns' formation shrinks, and James is not easy to play, and he only gave an assist without a point.

After only 4 minutes, both sides changed all their main forces, and the Suns continued to have the upper hand with Lowry, Roy, Ariza, Millsap, and Haslem playing.

The division of labor of the Suns lineup is clear, the offensive end is super mobile and can play fast attack, and the defensive end can interfere with shooting and defend breakthroughs, but the height is at a disadvantage.

It's not bad for two small insiders to scramble for rebounds, and they can launch a counterattack by grabbing backcourt rebounds, and at least three of them are fast.

On the Cavaliers' side, even if the garbage time "Big Z" Ilgoskas is still not suitable for playing, the defensive end will become a weakness, how can he outrun Haslem and Millsap, who are both 203CM tall?

Haslem can also interfere with his shooting as much as possible against Big Z, he is not a super scorer, he can't attract a bag in a single game, and he doesn't have the confidence to shoot continuously, and he only averaged 13.9 shots per game in his peak season.

At the end of this season, whether James opposes it or not, management is ready to send Big Z away. This is a center born in the wrong era, and his style would have mixed well if he had been in the league in the 80s, and now he has fallen victim to small-ball tactics.

Guo Xu played 40 minutes, and the final stats were fixed at 21 points and 24 assists, no rebounds, no steals or blocks.

The 24 assists scared everyone, and he had 20+ assists in three consecutive games and broke a 23-year-old record held by Magic Johnson.

Zhang reasonably commented: "Guo Xu better interprets what the core of the team is than before the injury, he can still lead the whole team to score without running much." Today he provided a number of brilliant assists at the top five to tear through the opposition's defence. ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Phoenix City is worthy of being a city of air pick-up, Guo Xu suddenly threw a high throw and someone took off." ”

Zhang Li said: "James won the regular season MVP this season, but he obviously can't compare with Guo Xu in leading the team. He disappeared when the team needed him to step up and score the most. ”

James played 40 minutes and recorded a quasi-triple-double of 32 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists, 26 of which were scored in the first half, only 6 points in the second half, and no point in the final quarter.

This is not that James took the initiative to steal at a critical moment, but that the opponent's penalty area defense was too tight, and it was obviously more reasonable for him to pass the ball if he didn't shoot accurately. It's called ...... Passive stealth.

Smalls scored a game-high 39 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, beating Boozer's 22 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.

In the final quarter, the two sides competed on the bench, and the team's big lead Lowry dared to fight without pressure, singled out Jones to break through the score again and again, and played the run-and-bomb counterattack that D'Antoni wanted to see. He dished out five assists in eight minutes and scored four points of his own.

Roy singled out Rose with great efficiency on the counterattack and could be the team's second offensive point with the ball, Millsap had the ability to attack in the low post, Haslem was good at pulling away from the mid-range shot, and Ariza was also very fast on the fast break......

At 142-98 in the final game, the Suns beat the Cavaliers by 44 points. The Cavaliers scored only 11 points in the final quarter and were completely lost.

Boozer and James are indispensable people for the Cavaliers, they can't play as soon as they attack, and they don't have a core on the court.

With such a big point difference, Barkley commented: "There is no suspense in the Finals, or there has been no suspense, just look at how many games the All-Star Game has won in the West, I think the Cavaliers will be swept." ”

"The Suns have a stronger roster than last season, and the Cavaliers haven't changed much from last season, and this could be the biggest Finals in 2001 and 2002," Smith said. And all three of these were all Jason's involvement. ”

At the press conference, the reporter interviewed Guo Xu and asked him to talk about his thoughts on breaking the historical record for assists in a single game.

Guo Xu said: "This is a helpless move, if it weren't for my leg injury, I would probably keep single-handing the Cavaliers point guard, strive to score more than 60 points in a single game, and challenge the single-game scoring record in the history of the finals." But it's not easy for me to get a high score, and I didn't get a high score in the regular season this year because we often win easily. ”

There was a round of applause in the venue, and Guo Xu said during the regular season: "It's not that I can't get a high score, but I lost to garbage time." ”

The reporter asked: "This season the Suns are defending their title, you will have six championship rings, do you think you have surpassed Jordan?" ”

Guo Xu smiled: "This topic is easy to cause a lot of controversy, I often see Jordan's fans dissatisfied on the Internet, thinking that I can win the championship because of luck and relying on the stars to huddle, Jordan does not huddle, so I can't compare with him." I decided to keep a low profile, and when I won 12 championships, I would admit that I surpassed Jordan, and he couldn't beat me two in one ring, right? ”

The audience was in an uproar, and reporters took pictures one after another, thinking that Guo Xu was talking about his ultimate goal. He wants to surpass Bill Russell, the Lord of the Rings, not Jordan.

Guo Xu was only 26 years old in November this year, and Jordan of the same age did not have a championship. In this series, people have seen Guo Xu run slower, and he can still lead the team to win without jumping, if this is his physical fitness at the age of 36, it is indeed possible for him to win 6 championship rings in the past 10 years.

After watching the press conference, President David Stern felt that his head was big, and Guo Xu's way of ruling the league was a bit excessive, so that other stars would have to live in his shadow for a long time. He made the "Little Emperor" look like a joke, and won the regular season MVP and reached the finals with doubts that he didn't blow, but he couldn't create a little threat to Guo Xu.

The reporter also asked Guo Xu to evaluate James.

He thought for a moment and said: "He's very good, the breakthrough is unstoppable, like a rugby player, and I think he will be better in the future." ”

Guo Xu didn't say that sentence, "The future is yours." "The future is really not James's, Guo Xu doesn't want to retire for the time being, playing basketball is a happy thing.

After the game, Zhan Hei talked about Guo Xu's evaluation of James, and misinterpreted his meaning very maliciously.

Guo Xu said that James was like a rugby player, and he was praising him for his physical strength, but a group of Zhan Hei actually said that it was because James could run all the time with a basketball, which was too dark.

No one predicted that the Cavaliers might win the championship, and the difference in strength in the first game was too big, and the Suns were close to winning four consecutive championships.
