David. Blatter is very distressed right now, and the way he played in the first game was actually beyond his expectations. Now that the depth of the Cavaliers' roster is already stretched, the players can easily get injured if they continue to play like this. Kevin. Love's injury has affected the Cavaliers a lot. If it weren't for the lack of an interior mainstay, the Cavaliers wouldn't have played so hard.

After yesterday's game, James was fine, but Irving said he had some discomfort in his knee. It's a good thing there was no overtime in yesterday's game, otherwise what would have happened to Owen, no one can say for sure.

The Cavaliers injured one more person, and the series couldn't be played, so when it came time to train, David. Blatter is also cautious.

But if you don't simulate the fast-paced offense and defense, the Cavaliers can't do a good job of defense in actual combat. At this moment, Blatter was in a dilemma. It's no wonder that many NCAA and European coaches can't succeed here, and the NBA is really not so easy to win.

But in fact, at the beginning of yesterday, the knights were not so passive. But since Carlisle switched to that big and four small lineup, the Cavaliers have never taken the lead.

Iguodala and Tony. Allen's rotational defense took James out of rhythm. And Iguodala's mobility makes Tristan . Thompson couldn't defend himself.

In this season's playoffs, "changing formations" has become an indispensable keyword. The Warriors reversed the Grizzlies with a change of formation, and the Mavericks used a change of formation to blow up the Warriors. It's a time of tradition and modernity, and more aggressive styles of play have proven their power.

Thinking of this, Blatter looked at the players on the field, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Yiyang didn't finally wake up until noon the next day, and the battle with James last night had drained all of Yiyang's strength. Fortunately, the NBA left the Cavaliers and Mavericks with two days off between Game 1 and Game 2 of the Finals. That's why the players can get a good rest this morning and start training in the afternoon.

Despite winning yesterday, the Cavaliers' performance was still a source of uncertainty. James, in particular, was a mess of the Mavericks' defense with his crazy output.

James held out until the final minutes before collapsing, which was much longer than Yiyang and Carlisle had predicted. If James had rested a few more minutes in the next game, God knows if he would have been dragged to death.

As soon as he thought of the knight and James, Yiyang lay back on the bed, physically and mentally exhausted. This year's finals may be the hardest he has ever played.

LeBron had already lost a championship last season, and he didn't want to lose for the third time in a row at the same hand! In 2011 and 2014, the Heat both fell to the Mavericks. This year, after reuniting with the Cavaliers, James didn't want to be crushed by the Mavericks.

That's why James is so desperate. With 38 shots, BA has only 13 players who have taken more than 38 shots in a single game in the past 22 years.

I just hope that the next game will go well......

"Are you awake?" At this time, Vignali walked into Yiyang's room with a breakfast, lunch to be exact.

Looking at his wife and the hot lunch, Yiyang showed a relaxed smile. Maybe there is only this kind of moment during the finals, which can relax Yiyang's mind a little.

"Change formation?" James looked at Blatter suspiciously, but this time, the face of the coach who is famous in Europe is full of confidence.

Confidence, this expression in David. Blatter's face, James is seen for the first time.

David. Blatter, an American coach who has been in the European league for almost 30 years. He has been featured in Israeli, Greek, Russian and Turkish basketball, and during his six years in charge of Israeli club Maccabi, Blatter led the team to six Israeli Cup titles and five Israeli league titles. In addition, Blatter served as the head coach of the Russian national team. In 2007, he led the team to win the European Championships, and in 2012, he led the team to win the bronze medal in the London Olympics. Blatter's individual accolades are also impressive, with four Israeli League Coach of the Year awards and one European Coach of the Year. Just looking at these resumes, Blatter's experience duel can be called brilliant. And these also made him the first coach in the European League to coach in the NBA!

But for the NBA, Blatter, the main brush who has been in Europe for 27 years, is an out-and-out rookie. It was his first time coaching an NBA team as a head coach. The players in this league are very different from all the other players in the league. They are faster, taller, and better, and how to maximize the abilities of each star is a lesson that every NBA coach must master. It's like Phil. Jackson's triangle offense is actually a tactic to create singles opportunities for stars. It's like the Warriors' small lineup, which actually creates his favorite offensive rhythm for the stars.

But at this point, Blatter is clearly not good enough. He was deeply influenced by Princeton's tactics back then, and he also played team battles in Europe. Blatter's characteristic is precisely to make everyone in the team look like they are the stars, but none of them are the stars.

But it turned out that this set was not good for the knights. When you have stars like James, Irving and Love, you can't afford to settle for mediocrity. So Blatter's basketball philosophy is completely unreflected in Cleveland.

Due to his incompatibility with the NBA, Blatter also often makes some low-level mistakes. For example, on several occasions, he called a timeout when there was no timeout, or arranged a lore with the idea of teamwork and did not give James the right to make the last shot.

In the game between the Cavaliers and the Bulls in the playoffs this season, Rose hit a layup in the final moments of the game, the Cavaliers got the ball, and Blatter walked into the court and made a timeout gesture, which was originally a normal tactical arrangement, but Blatter forgot that they did not have a timeout. According to the rules, the Cavaliers will be whistled for a technical foul, giving the Bulls a free throw for nothing, and the ball will be given to the opponent, which is undoubtedly fatal at a critical moment in the game.

So even James did not shy away from calling Blatter a "rookie coach" when facing reporters. Although James was just joking, this "joke" also illustrates Blatter's embarrassing situation in the NBA. As far as the NBA goes, James knows a lot more than Blatter.

Because of this, Blatter has never been too confident. You often see him standing on the sidelines with sleepy eyes, and sometimes even shouting is for the assistant coach to do. You often see James drawing tactics with a tactics board after a timeout, while Blatter sits silently on the sidelines.

But at the moment, Blatter looks like a real manager. Confident, confident, unquestionable!

"That's right, change formation! We can also use lineup changes to deal with the Mavericks' big and four small! Blatter looked at his players, and they weren't any ordinary people. If you use it well, you might be able to take the calf off the altar!

"Tell me, how are we going to change?" James picked up the tactics board and handed it to Blatter.

In this era of new and old basketball ideas, Blatter also hopes to make some new attempts on the new stage of the NBA!

A faster and more efficient small lineup? It seems that the Cavaliers are not immutable.
