Chapter 310: The Beginning of the Plan

- Cleveland people have bought hope for themselves!!

The Cleveland Honest People, which originally mourned after the G1 battle in the finals, issued a sonorous cry after the G2 and G3 games, sweeping away the pessimistic remarks that were all over the country before. They do have enough capital to be so flamboyant, because of the lack of Carey. Irving's Cavaliers at LeBron. Under the leadership of James, he won the second and third games of the finals with a score of 95:93 and 96:91.

Is it unimaginable? No Carey. Irving, the Cavaliers team has completely become a single-core state of LBJ leading role players, but they stubbornly beat the Warriors with a full lineup from one home and one away to steal two wins in a row. LeBron James, who averaged 39.5 points, 14.0 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in the two games, naturally received praise from the media and many basketball experts.

"It's okay to be the 'first man in the league', and it's okay to 'dominate the team'...... But 'super dominance' is a bit too much. "Jersey. With a fruit and vegetable bar in his mouth, Granger's voice was vague to express his utter utterance at the media swarm, "LBJ has shown a lot in these two games, his tournament experience, his all-round skill and his desire to win, but not so much in terms of dominance. ”

"Huh? Isn't the average of close to 40+15+10 per game enough to show dominance? Addison tilted his head, his eyes wide to show that he couldn't understand Granger's comment. He didn't do anything to LBJ like he did to 'Smiling Assassins' Thomas, Chris. Paul's sense of longing and worship is not like that of Kobe. Bryant admired and admired him, but he did recognize James' quality. If there's anyone else in the league who can be called dominant on the offensive end, it's LeBron. James is definitely the first to bear the brunt.

“Come on, bro! You're an NBA player, so you know better than I know that you can't generalize about data! Granger squinted his eyes and shook the half-baked nutrition bar in his hand, "LBJ did get nearly 40+15+10 per game, but look at his shooting percentage in these two games, 11-of-35 and 14-of-34, a total of 36% shooting...... Doesn't that show how awkward he is when he plays defensively with the Warriors? ”

Addison raised the corners of his mouth, Granger's statement was correct from a certain point of view, which is the biggest reason why most LBJ opponents think that his two games are not magical. Inefficiency, the extreme inefficiency reflected in the hit rate, is what he is most criticized for.

However, this is also an absolutely amateur or layman's view, and while Granger says not to judge LBJ's performance by data, his view is heavily data-based. James did shoot extremely low shooting percentage in G2 and G3 battles, and it was indeed embarrassing to be efficient under the Warriors' defense, but that doesn't mean he didn't show full court dominance. Just like Aaron in the 2001 finals. Iverson, Kobe Bryant at the 2010 Finals. Bryant, their performance can be called an inefficient offense with a large number of shots, but their perpetual motion machine like a turn of impact and strong defensive containment have contributed a lot to the team, without such an offensive play by the core of the team, I am afraid the team will not be able to open up the situation under the Finals-level defensive confrontation.

LeBron. The same goes for James, who while his shooting percentage is so low that it doesn't look like his style at all, but when you take a closer look at the number of times he hits the paint and how much space he opens up for his teammates in a single-core situation, you can really understand how dominant he has shown. The Cavaliers' two wins can be said to have won on two points - excellent defense and LeBron. James.

And when it comes to the Cavaliers' defense, we have to mention one person, one who replaced Kyrie. Irving's Australian who started point guard.

"Matthew. Dellavedova ...... This Australian point guard is a bit interesting, isn't it? Addison looked at the game footage playing on his laptop and noted with interest the white players in the Cavaliers' starting No. 1 position. Curry shot less than 35 percent from the field under his defense, and had 12 turnovers in two games...... I don't think he'd ever played so badly before, and he'd never had a rival so ferociously entangled. ”

Granger laughed with a bit of schadenfreude: "This guy defends like a hungry mad dog, and to be honest I like players like that, it's exciting to watch them play." In addition to Patrick. Outside of Beverly, I'm afraid no one can match his madness. ”

Yes, Matthew. Dellavedova is a and Carey. Irving is a completely different point guard, and he may not be able to catch up with Irving in terms of ball control and offensive skills, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a skill set in the league. To tell the truth, his projection ability is very average, and it is a little difficult to be a shooter under the current tactics of the Cavaliers; But his tough defensive attitude and enthusiasm on the court made him play an extraordinary defensive performance. Curry's near-muddled state against him in these two games is the most intuitive recognition of his defensive impact. Speaking from the heart, this Australian's defensive skills are compared to Tony. Experienced solo defenders such as Aaron and Iguodala are still far behind, but he has made up for a large part of the gap with his enthusiasm and almost insane dedication. Opportunities are always reserved for those who work hard and are prepared, and Dellavedova is clearly such a person, and his excellent performance in the face of danger fills the Cavaliers' weak single defense at the No. 1 position and the ability to deal with pick-and-rolls, which can at least make LeBron a good player. James controlled the offensive end with one hand while not being too distracted by the defense, which reduced LBJ's physical consumption to a certain extent.

Compared to the Cavaliers, who have built a good defense and exploded ferociousness, the Golden State Warriors seem to be a little unable to play. Curry's core firepower is seriously dumb and causes obstacles in the Warriors' entire passing system, you must know that Curry not only plays the role of a fireman in the Warriors' system, but also has to take on a lot of organizational tasks. And under Dellavedova's biting entanglement, Curry even faced huge obstacles in passing and catching the ball, and sometimes he could barely connect with his teammates on the court.

"The Clevelands have already made it 2-1, Eddie, and I remember you said the Warriors would be the winner. But with this momentum, the Warriors, who often fail to even run tactically, may be crushed by their opponents...... "Jersey. Granger kindly reminded Addison of the prediction he made a few days ago, and he was now happy to bet on winning against his friend, and the G1 night was a real deal for him.

"Don't jump to conclusions, dear Mr. Granger, it's only been three games since the finals were played. You need to know, Stephen. Curry is an adaptable player, while Kerr is a coach who is very good at adapting, and they can't afford to watch their team be targeted at a disadvantage all the time. Addison grabbed the bag of bars that Granger was trying to tear open and grinned, "I've said before that the Warriors are going to have a hard time winning a championship because their opponents are quite tough. But this is exciting, how can a bumpy road to the championship meet people's expectations for the finals? ”

With the NBA Finals underway, Miami-based Heat trainer Rogers has finally finished his rookie tryout, and now he finally has time to come to Oakland to help Addison with his long-planned weight gain.

"Welcome to Auckland, Cami (Rutgers' full name is Cammy. Rutgers)! After getting used to living on the South Coast, it's not bad to go to the West Coast once in a while, where the flavor of the sea is completely different, isn't it? Addison, who was in high spirits, welcomed him with a smile when he saw his trainer.

"Honestly? I don't think the sea breeze in Biscayne Bay is any different from here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I don't like Bay City, where the air is so humid that it feels soft to breathe. Rutgers, from Germany, shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and his locomotive character was revealed.

"Ell, maybe you'll like the environment in Minnesotapolis, why not give it a try with the Timberwolves?"

"First of all, just because I hate Bay City doesn't mean I like places where the temperature is below 10°C and it snows a lot. Secondly, at least for now, Mickey. Alison paid me a salary and made me not interested in a lottery team. "Rutgers is such a character, he rarely jokes and doesn't joke, and he just talks about anything straightforwardly. This kind of personality is quite suitable for a professional trainer, because he is also at work.

"Let me see, genius, you don't seem to have gained your fat. This is the most basic part of weight gain, and it is also a very critical step. The trainer looked Addison's size up and down, "While we're going to add 11 pounds of muscle, you're going to have to add 11 pounds to yourself." ”

"You know, Cammy, I don't dare eat too much until you come, especially when the team nutritionist isn't with me. I've asked some female friends what foods are better for fat gain, but without your decision, I don't dare to put it into practice. Rutgers was very useful to the young Chinese's somewhat sought-after explanation, and the more such professionals were, the more they liked the trust and appreciation that others showed in their profession, which was an exchange experience that Addison had honed since his time in Harlem.

"All right, genius, we don't have to start in such a hurry, we still have a lot of time left. By the way, have you ever had a girlfriend or something? After a few days, you'll be bloated and bloated, even if your body fat percentage isn't noticeable...... It's always good to prepare early, though. ”

Addison's eyebrows raised slightly, and he seemed to be touched by Rutgers's teasing suggestion: "Of course it's good to prepare early...... But it's best to prepare early and long enough, isn't it? ”
