The opening game was 6-0, which was definitely a situation that most people didn't expect before. The Knights, who were suppressed so badly in the last game, actually played an anti-guest momentum today.

I have to admit that David. Blatter's change of formation may be a wonderful tactical arrangement after he came to the NBA. He broke the shackles he had on himself and tried something newer.

After an attack, although Yiyang relied on his personal ability to score a single score on Owen's head. But soon, the Cavaliers used a beautiful counterattack to score another goal by James' breakthrough Dirk.

8-2, Carlisle had to call a halt to the game. He didn't want to bring up the big and four small lineup so early, but the situation forced him to do it!

"Unexpectedly, those bastards also played the trick of changing formations! But it doesn't matter, their five-small lineup is not as strong as it seems. Andre, who came on the pitch and went to find the point of Shambaugh, was a huge defensive hole. Rudy, give his teammates cover and fish Tristan out of the box as much as possible. On the offensive end, change the defense a lot and pay attention to the opponent's breakthrough. They're not Golden State Warriors, and their finishing ability from beyond the three-point line isn't that scary! ”

Carlisle quickly said the shortcomings of the Cavaliers' five-small lineup, the five-small lineup is not just a casual change, you must have the corresponding players to play the most powerful.

On the offensive end, Tristan can't open up space for his teammates like Green does. And the off-ball running and covering between the Cavaliers' four outside lines are not so mature. As long as they can keep up in terms of mobility, the Cavaliers' death five is no longer scary.

Blatter was still smug about his change, but he soon faced a new challenge.

After the timeout, Mike. Brin swallowed as he saw the players on both sides step onto the pitch. One big four small and five dead small started early, and this game was intended to go straight to the climax from the very beginning!

"Coach Carlisle replaced the invincible big four small lineup in advance, audience friends, the show is on!"

In Blatter's view, it is not particularly difficult for the Cavaliers to guard against the Mavericks' lineup. While Irving's defense is relatively weak, Tristan and James are both masters of pick-and-roll. If Irving loses, there will be a barrier behind him.

But basketball has never been a game on paper. Sometimes, the reality can be much more complicated than you think.

The Mavericks attacked for the first time after changing formations, and Gobert came out to cover, and Yiyang used this to get rid of Dellavedova. Thompson didn't make up for it at the first time, and the guy was afraid that Gobert would suddenly cut inside after the cover. So Yiyang easily shot in the middle distance after borrowing the block. The basketball hollowed into the net, and Thompson and Dellavedova didn't agree on it.

Thompson is not Drummond. Green, on the defensive end, there's still a lot to learn for this kid.

The Warriors' offense is usually Green who keeps the ball in possession, and then Curry and Thompson, the two biggest threats to the basket, borrow beautiful movement and cover to find opportunities to shoot.

On the Cavaliers' side, the person who holds the ball is LeBron. Irving and James are the kind of players who need to hold the ball in their hands to exert great power. At this point, the Cavaliers' offense is somewhat contradictory.

Fortunately, although Irving likes to attack with the ball, his off-ball offensive ability is not inferior. It's just that after Yiyang stuck it to it, it was difficult for Owen to get another chance.

James also faced a strong opponent on the outside, Andre Iguodala. Compared to Dirk, Iguodala does not have a height advantage, but there is no doubt that he is one of the few players in the league who can slowly grind with James in terms of speed and physical confrontation.

James was greatly hindered on the outside, and he had to repeat his old tricks, using the cover to play Gobert out of a misplaced position.

However, Iguodala's pick-and-roll defense is just as good. He didn't give James a chance to break through, and quickly bypassed the cover and crossed in front of the "little emperor" again.

Although Thompson cut inside quickly after covering, he had no range, was not as powerful as Gobert, and was almost transparent on the offensive end, and could not share the offensive pressure for James.

After going around the circle, James found that his teammates didn't get any chances!

In the first round after the big and four small, the Cavaliers' offense fell into a dead end. The offense is actually secondary, and all five positions can be defended, which is the horror of Carlisle's set of one big and four small!

High rounds and high scoring, that's what the Warriors' five-man lineup is all about. But it is clear that the current knights do not have the means to do this. They don't have the Warriors' adept off-ball movement or the Warriors' terrifying three-point shooting ability.

Except for Irving, everyone else's three-point shooting basically relies on "pumping", and this kind of offensive stability cannot shake the Mavericks' defense.

In the end, the Cavaliers still scored, but it went back to the old way of the last game, and James singled himself!

Carrying Iguodala and forcing a layup, this kind of score, Carlisle is not afraid. If James had started doing this so early, he would have suffered only in the end.

After the offense, the Mavericks' offense is quite flexible. Gobert mentioned the high post as always, and Yiyang pretended to feint, but passed the ball to Wade, who shook off Irving, after bypassing the screen.

At this time, Thompson was still in high position and couldn't go back, and Wade had already hit the basket along the right baseline. James had to go back to protect the basket, and it was expected to be a head-to-head collision between Wade and James, but Wade didn't, passing the ball to Iguodala who was ambushed in the bottom left corner.

Iguodala catches the ball and throws, and James has to choose between Wade and Iguodala. But in this round, James made the wrong choice. Iguodala hit a three-pointer, and the Mavericks instantly closed the gap to three points!

With the Warriors, it's hard for the Mavericks to get that opportunity. Because James' defensive role in the Cavaliers is actually somewhat like Green in the Warriors.

But Green mostly faces centers who don't have the ability to shoot, so he can do whatever he wants. But James is different, if he goes to wipe other people's butts, then his own butts will be taken care of.

Suddenly, the feeling of powerlessness that had occurred in the first game filled the whole body. David. Blatter was a little panicked, the Mavericks' big four seemed to be stronger than he imagined!

With a three-point gap, the Cavaliers' hard-won advantage was crumbling in an instant. This time, when James stepped into the box again, he not only had to face a strong block from Iguodala, but also a Gobert assist.

On the Warriors, because everyone on the court has the ability to shoot, they mostly get one-on-one opportunities. As long as you dare to defend or wrap up, others will get empty seats.

But against the Cavaliers, Gobert can protect the basket without leaving his beloved three-second zone. Tristan. Thompson? That guy can do some dirty work and get tired, but shooting, it's still free.

So after Iguodala's first block, Gobert jumped high, waved his long arms, and pulled James's layup back through Iguodala!

"LeBron, he's blocked!"

Iguodala alertly received the basketball, and then immediately put the ball in Yiyang's hands. Dellavedova reached out and grabbed Yiyang's jersey, but Yiyang didn't slow down in the slightest! Under the pull of the Australians, Yiyang forcibly jumped to the basket!

With a "stab", Yiyang's jersey was torn open a small hole, but the layup still hit steadily!

"Hit three points! Even if Dellavedova tore Yi's jersey, he couldn't stop him! God, what is there to stop him? ”

The referee's whistle blew, the jerseys were rotten, and Dellavedova had nothing to defend. Yiyang turned to look at the Australian after he landed, he was not afraid of the other party's toughness, and his menacing expression made Dellavedova's head drop and he was as docile as a sheep.

"You owe me a jersey, bastard!" Yiyang pointed directly at Dellavedova's face and said that it was like a teacher who made a mistake in his duties.

For this, the game was suspended for one minute. The game will not continue until the court staff goes to the locker room to get a new jersey for Yiyang and layup.

James took this opportunity to hurry off the court to ask for water, the consumption of the last game was too great, and today he can clearly feel that the speed of his physical consumption is accelerating.

Dallas calves, is it so hard to gnaw?

Taking advantage of this dead-ball opportunity, Smith replaced Shambaugh in the hope of strengthening the team's attack. But in the face of Tony. Allen's defense, how much power can Smith exert?

A minute later, Yiyang, who put on a new jersey, took the field again. Although the game was interrupted, Yiyang's hand did not cool down. At the free throw line, he steadily added free throws and led the Mavericks to equalize the score in one fell swoop!

At this time, the Mavericks had completely crushed the knights to death in terms of momentum.

After that, the Cavaliers never took the lead again. After the Warriors' five-small success, there are already a number of head coaches who are starting to study this style of play and are ready to experiment and emulate it in the new season.

However, Blatter's practice has taught everyone that not every team can learn such a thing as the Death Five.

Fast break, high blocking, air cutting, and moving balls...... At least the Cleveland Cavaliers' five little ones don't have a way to do that well.

In the second half of the first quarter, James' shooting percentage had begun to dip severely. Today, his shooting percentage started to become erratic, a little earlier than in the previous game.

Physical fitness, as the game deepens and the number of games accumulates, will become less and less. How many games can James last on singles? Maybe even he himself can't tell.

The Cavaliers' small lineup didn't work, and after the first quarter, the Mavericks came from behind to take a six-point lead at 28-22.

With the Mavericks beating the Warriors 4-1 and now overwhelming the Cavaliers, Blatter may have to recognize a brutal truth.

The Mavericks' defense may really be indestructible!
