Cavaliers coach McBrown's plan was doomed......

He wanted Gibson to run with Guo Xu, try to consume his physical strength on the defensive end, and make him difficult to play on the offensive end.

Players who play with injuries are theoretically not active, and many people think that Guo Xu has not trained systematically for nearly a month, and his endurance will decrease. They didn't know that Guo Xu was open, he didn't exercise much in the time loop, and his endurance attribute didn't drop at all. Gibson is tired and cramping, he can't get tired, and his endurance is among the top in the NBA.

Guo Xu controlled his speed and followed, not in a hurry or impatient.

James forced a break through the trap and shared the ball, Boozer caught the ball on the left side and took a step into the basket and made an easy layup. 21 to 15.

The Cavaliers' easiest person to shoot today is Boozer, and his stats will certainly not be bad.

After Thibodeau joined the Suns coaching staff, the team's defensive tactics have become richer, in addition to resolutely containing James, they can also defend James alone and cut off the connection between him and his teammates.

Now the Suns are using the third plan, wrapping James near the restricted area, defending the three-point shots of role players on the perimeter, and shooting from mid-range.

After James burst into the score, Boozer had an easy chance to shoot, and the Sun didn't care, and the goal was recognized. Boozer can be inside and out, and he is well-rounded, but even if he shoots 50% from the field, it is difficult to shoot opponents, which is not as good as James's shooting rate under the basket.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Xiao Si played blocking and dismantling as soon as they passed the half, Gibson was not fast enough to chase defense, lacked experience in the playoffs, and had average defensive awareness, so he was thrown away by Guo Xu's change of direction.

Guo Xu took the left side, and Marshall came out to prevent the dismantling. Guo Xu took a step and a half to turn, a left-handed pass behind the head was thrown outside the three-point line on the right, and Thomas ran around the baseline to this position, and the ball arrived.

In the last series, Thomas often ran to the right side of the line to shoot three-pointers when he played power forward, and he could not only create misalignments, but also transfer the ball to teammates, and Smalls cut into the box after covering.

This is the tactic that the Suns focus on drilling, when the Spurs play small-ball tactics, as long as Duncan is drawn out, there will be a chance, and Xiao Sikong cuts to the ball except for Duncan, and everyone has an advantage. If Boozer doesn't get out, Thomas will be able to catch the ball and shoot, and the big man who is 208cm tall will have an accident if he is two steps away.

Boozer didn't go out after seeing Xiao Sikong, and moved near the restricted area according to the coach's arrangement to prevent the opponent from hitting the basket and protecting the backcourt rebound. James was led far to the left by Marion, and Pavlovich on the right side did not dare to let Bale go to make up for Thomas.

Thomas received the pass and made a comfortable jumper and hollowed it into the net.

24-15, Guo Xu's fifth assist.

James was in a hurry to return the color, and when he broke through, he used a crab step stunt, jumped into the restricted area, and forced a layup under the interference of Xiao Si. 24 to 17.

The ball was a bit excessive, as his feet were a big chunk off the ground when he jumped through the gaps, and if he did so for another player, he would have been whistled for a second dribble violation, but the referee ignored it.

This season, there have been doubts about James's step, it was the league's own son who won the MVP, and the home fans booed.

People who know the ball can see the game, so why don't many referees blow it? Before the game began, James explained that James' steps were completely reasonable and not a league favor.

First of all, James is heavy and can't stop fast, according to the scientific point of view, the referee should not blow!

Secondly, he has a lot of breakthroughs, with the offense under the basket and close-range scoring accounting for 32.6% and 14% of all shots in the playoffs, totaling 46.6%, and nearly half of his points are made by breaking through to very close to the basket. He broke through so much, the proportion of steps compared to the number of goals scored is very small. In the case of high-frequency breakthroughs, the referee is visually fatigued and does not blow normally.

Thirdly, although James walks a lot, the referee can not watch the replay every time, if you pay too much attention to the problem of walking, then the referee needs to increase the manpower, which is not conducive to the development of the league.

The most important point is that the referee can't always brag about the superstar's step, which will appear that the NBA league is relatively low-level, which seriously affects the enjoyment of the game, which everyone does not want to see!

To sum up, James can be forgiven as long as he doesn't walk and kill, although others can't fight like this, but whoever wants to question it is hacking him.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu played the block and dismantled again, and gave the ball to Thomas on the right side, Boozer defended more outside this time, and he didn't have a direct chance.

Xiao Si didn't have the space to cut, and the high post blocked Gibson again, and Guo Xu ran to the right to receive Thomas's pass.

The Cavaliers were in chaos on the court, Marshall felt that he couldn't change the defense of Guo Xu, and then he would definitely cut into the air and let Gibson chase him. Gibson was blocked by a solid and slower by a second, how could he catch up?

Guo Xu almost formed an empty position, and seeing that he was about to make an easy layup, James let go of Marion to make up for it. Guo Xu dribbled to the middle and threw the ball high, Marion cut into the basket on the left side, and dunked the basketball with both hands!

26-17, Guo Xu's 6th assist.

TNT Radio's Barkley said: "I think if we continue to play like this, Jason will break the single-game record in the Finals and make a lot of tricky passes in the opening game. Today's selection of the 10 best balls in the finals is not enough, and a 20-ball special should be made. ”

Kenny Smith said: "He's had 20+ assists in two straight games, and today it's the third game in a row, which is also a playoff record. ”

Barkley smiled: "I wouldn't be surprised if he won 30+20, the knights really can't prevent it." ”

Like the Finals single-game scoring record, the single-game assist record was originally called an almost impossible feat. In the 1984 Finals, "Magic" Johnson handed out 21 assists in the third game against the Celtics in the Finals, setting a single-game assist record for the NBA Finals.

Many people have done it with 20+ assists in a game, but the meaning of the finals is different, it is a duel of the strength of the stars, and it is difficult for one person to kill the opponent by assists in the finals.

Guo Xu played more easily than the Western Finals, and the Suns' offense was launched by him every time, and it looked like he would complete a double-double in a single quarter. Without covering the defense, he bullied the Cavaliers at the No. 1 position and could score himself.

How do you adjust at this point? Coach Brown had no idea at all. He's actually an assistant coach on the team, and he's only responsible for arranging defense, with head coach James leading the offense.

In fact, people have heard of this part of the story for a long time. As expected by the outside world, James has the absolute right to speak in the team, and the coach can only be his supporting role in the team.

Brown is a good guy, but good guys have to be cautious in Cleveland because this is James' team and no one can go against him. The team owner is afraid that the little emperor will leave Cleveland, so he is cautious everywhere and obeys him, James can do whatever he wants, except win a championship, because this is not something the owner can give.

James was also depressed, he could see that the Cavaliers could not limit Guo Xu's play, even if he went to the main defense, Guo Xu would rely on the cover to get rid of the defender and create passing space.

James feels that even if Guo Xu takes less than 10 shots and scores very little, he is still a star guard, and his leg injury has limited impact on him. His passing awareness and passing skills are top-notch, and he feels too demonic.

It would be easy for the Suns to have only one superstar, Guo Xu, but his teammates are too strong, shooting three points more accurately than the Cavaliers players, cutting air faster than the Cavaliers players, and Xiao Si's singles are enough for them.

With this kind of visible lineup gap, how can the Cavaliers win?
