Chapter 593: Post-Game Summary and Scene 2

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 113-98 on their home court to take the lead in the Finals. Looking at this game, the outside world generally thinks that the Cavaliers should have no hope of winning the championship this year, because the difference in strength between the two teams makes everyone feel a little too big, although there are still many people who are more optimistic about the Cavaliers before the finals start, but after this game, almost more than 90% of the experts instantly became in favor of the Lakers to win the championship.

In fact, this is also a very normal thing, first of all, the Lakers have come all the way this season, and their performance has been very stable, and even in the Western Conference Finals, super teams like the Warriors have been picked off, which shows that the Lakers' combat effectiveness is very strong, and their play has gradually stabilized, unlike the performance of the Cavaliers in this game, the scoring curve is very unsmooth, and after a period of explosive scoring, a blank period is ushered in, and every time the Cavaliers have a blank period of scoring, The Lakers gradually widened the point difference, and then expanded, but this seemingly not very powerful style of play defeated the Cavaliers almost bloodlessly.

In fact, if you want to talk about playing in this game, Lao Zhan's play is naturally nothing to say, he played 43 minutes in a game, scored 34 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds, this is how many times Lao Zhan has won a quasi-triple-double in the finals, and in addition to Lao Zhan, the performance of the other two giants of the Cavaliers is actually not bad, Owen performed average under Ye Xuan's defense, but he also got 19 points and 6 assists, especially his three-point shot, which actually shot 4 of 7, with a shooting rate of more than 50%. Love also performed well today, with 18 points and 14 rebounds, and the Big Three combined for 71 points, which is already a relatively good performance, but that's it, the Cavaliers still lost the game today.

First of all, only Lefu is playing a role in their interior play, Tristan Thompson is almost sleepwalking in this game, except for the wonderful pass dunk received after blocking and dismantling with Lao Zhan, Thompson's sports battle score is zero, and the free throw shooting rate is only 50 percent, two of the four free throws, a total of 7 shots in the game, hit a dunk, and scored 4 points. If you say he's a role player and the offense can't ask for him too much, then isn't that a bit weak when he only had 5 rebounds in 29 minutes?

Coupled with Channing Fry's soy sauce-playing interior line, with 0 points and 1 board in the whole game, the entire Cavaliers' interior line can almost only be described as empty. The Cavaliers' interior line is empty, and the Lakers' side is completely different, although the Lakers' interior line and the Pelicans are still not comparable, but at least they are much better than the Cavaliers, Gasol, Spetts, Randle and Hibbert recruited later are all interior players that the Lakers can send now, plus Nance Jr. and Zubac, it can be said that the Lakers' interior players are not lacking at all, and although Randle's play is not very good, but Speights and Gasol play very well today, In particular, Gasol's ability to open up space, as well as Speights' experience after coming off the bench, gave the Lakers a certain advantage.

Of course, in addition, there is a tactical gap, although Wharton Jr. should be a junior of Tyronn Lue, after all, when Tyronn Lue was in the Lakers, Wharton Jr. didn't know where to play soy sauce, but the gap in coaching ability between the two is not a star and a half, although Wharton Jr. may not be able to think of any novel tactics by himself, but he will at least learn from it and follow the Zen master, so he knows how to use a superstar like Ye Xuan, and Steve Kerr, So he knows how to use the firepower advantage on the outside to play a beautiful offense.

And Tyronn Lue is a little weak, he only learned how to the main force in the Zen master, and he didn't learn anything around Blatche, and his ability to adapt on the spot is very bad, which makes the Cavaliers have always been at a disadvantage in terms of tactics, and even today's rotation time is the kind of rotation time they used when they played the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals the year before, how can this old tactical routine be able to play the strength that the team should have?

So after the game ended, a large number of experts came out in an instant to sing about the Cavaliers, and by the way, they also grabbed Tyronn Lue and squirted it. At the same time, some Zhan Hei also jumped out, using data to prove that Ye Xuan is stronger than James, first of all, he analyzed his personal data, Ye Xuan contributed 33 points in this game, but he had 14 assists and only 6 rebounds, so if it is calculated, Ye Xuan's data can be regarded as a tie with Lao Zhan, but personal data is not the focus of experts' analysis, and immediately some people said that Lao Zhan brushed the data himself, making his teammates worse, and scrapping teammates and the like.

But they didn't see that Lao Zhan was actually looking for an opportunity to help his teammates make the ball during the game, but the butter hands of his teammates at the beginning, coupled with lack of confidence, led to continuous mistakes, which was also a helpless thing. However, I have to say that Ye Xuan did a better job at this point, for example, Wade in today's game performed very brightly, scoring the second highest 26 points in the team, 16 of these 26 points came from Ye Xuan's pass, this terrifying assist rate is a bit too high for a player like Wade, who has always been singles, but this also shows that Ye Xuan's passing has indeed had an effect.

This was the end of the game, but the finals didn't end there, and the second finals were played again at Staples Arena after a day of rest between the two teams.

At the beginning of the game, Tristan Thompson won the jump ball and gave the racket to George Hill, Hill took the ball without the slightest pause and passed the ball directly to James, James received the ball and wiped Randle in front of him and was ready to come to a fast attack, but Solomon Hill on the side reacted quickly and immediately blocked James's way, and the other players of the two teams fell into position, James then signaled his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to single Solomon Hill.

The other players of the Cavaliers immediately opened the gap and let James play alone, James was not polite, started directly outside the three-point line, and forcibly used his physical fitness to force Solomon Hill, Solomon Hill also knew that he really couldn't prevent this ball, so he simply wanted to foul directly, but he didn't expect that James would play this game with the determination to win today, and the moment James was pulled, he felt a huge force that pulled him two steps upside down, James also threw the ball at this time, the whistle blew, and the ball went in.

After shooting the ball, James calmly celebrated the goal with his teammates, and did not forget to draw a cross and pray. Then he walked to the free throw line, made the extra free throw, and then slowly retreated to his own half of the court to start defending. At this time, the Lakers did not realize how difficult this game was, Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the front court to face George Hill's defense and was still preparing to call for blocking, George Hill here had already posted it to force it, Ye Xuan had no choice but to pass the ball to Wade, Wade looked very confident today, and after receiving the ball, he took a step inside and then directly pulled out the jump shot, but unfortunately this shot on the three-point line ended in iron due to Irving's interference.

But the good news is that Gasol actually beat Tristan Thompson to grab the rebound, and after grabbing the rebound, Gasol immediately distributed the ball to Solomon Hill's hands, Solomon Hill's first reaction to receiving the ball was naturally to pull it up and shoot, but unfortunately they have not fully entered the rhythm of the game now, this time the shot is still bounced out of the basket, and the rebound was caught by James.

After grabbing the backcourt rebound, James immediately launched a fast attack, a dragon's rapid counterattack is like a drifting bulldozer, speeding in the arena, using speed and impact in the middle to pass Solomon Hill and Randle, directly rushed into the Lakers' interior line, facing the Pacers' last line of defense Ye Xuan, James fearlessly rose from the ground, Ye Xuan naturally did not retreat, ready to get up and block, but unfortunately James has completely rushed up, not Ye Xuan can stop it at all, Carrying Ye Xuan, James still completed the dunk.

Ye Xuan couldn't help but rub his chest when he landed, Lao Zhan's bulldozer-like physical impact was really a little too perverted, no wonder so many fans said that he played unreasonably and had no ornamentation at all. The Lakers served the ball in the backcourt again, after Ye Xuan received the ball, while thinking about how to attack, he slowly controlled the ball and came to the front court, after coming to the front court, Ye Xuan didn't think much about it, so he passed the ball directly to Wade, and then came to a low position to prepare to single George Hill, after receiving Wade's return pass, Ye Xuan began to hit the opponent with his back, but he didn't expect George Hill to be worthy of being a player who had played in the Spurs before, and the small actions were simply the true pass of the Spurs. George Hill's hands kept pinching his waist and thighs when he hit back, and Ye Xuan had no choice but to turn his back and throw the ball, which ended in iron again.

In fact, Ye Xuan originally felt that he was quite familiar with George Hill, after all, he was a former teammate, but he didn't expect that his old teammate still hid such a hand, it is estimated that the previous team did not need him to use these small actions to complete the defense, and this time, the team has been forced into a corner, and George Hill took out his skills at the bottom of the box.

Ye Xuan doesn't matter if he hits the iron this time, the little Wharton coach off the court is a little anxious, the opponent has already beaten a 5:0 at the beginning, if the opponent's offense cannot be prevented in the next round, then the Lakers are destined to play a very difficult game. Fortunately, the Cavaliers dropped the chain again at this time, and after Lao Zhan's breakthrough was clamped, he immediately distributed the ball to Lefu on the outside, and Lefu picked up the ball and shot directly with three points, but unfortunately this time the shot was out again, and it was a little outrageous, and it didn't touch the basket directly, and the rebound ball happened to fall into the hands of Ye Xuan, who was stuck in the inside line after the bag clamping.

Ye Xuan immediately launched a fast attack, but he was not able to take two steps forward, and was immediately robbed by James on the spot, fortunately, Ye Xuan reacted relatively quickly and did not let James succeed, but James obviously did not really rob for the sake of stealing, but simply to interrupt your fast attack, Ye Xuan was helpless, and could only slowly bring the ball to the front court, because the opponent in this round was changing defenses, and now it was James next to him, so Ye Xuan felt that he could hand over the ball to Wade to play in this round.

After passing the ball to Wade, Ye Xuan took James who defended him away from the top of the arc, Wade still looked very calm in the face of Owen's defense, although both of them were masters of pretending, but Wade was obviously more sophisticated, using the retreat after the cross-step to worship the Buddha, Wade successfully passed Owen, and then killed towards the opponent's penalty area, Tristan Thompson had to come back immediately to make up for the defense, and Wade was not a vegetarian, he directly put the ball in Gasol's hands, and Gasol received the ball and threw it, Helped the Lakers get two points back.

But the firepower on the Cavaliers' side did not disappear like this, the backcourt served, Hill controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, this time he did not continue to let James play alone, but passed the ball to Owen, Owen held the ball and singled Ye Xuan, after a trial, he still called James to help with the blocking, James successfully blocked Ye Xuan, and then quickly cut inward, Ye Xuan had to follow the defense, how do you know that James doesn't make sense at all, and he has to jump directly in the free throw line. Ye Xuan hurriedly followed the jump defense, but it was too late to jump at this time, he could only be pressed half of his head by James next to him in the air, and then watched James receive Owen's aerial relay and press the ball into the basket fiercely.

The audience at the scene was first stunned by the ball, and then there was a huge boo again, after all, this is the home of the Lakers, and the fans naturally don't want to see the home team suffer, but for the Lakers, this start is really not very good, not only has two points on their side, but also scored 7 points by the opponent in four attacks, and these 7 points are all scored by Lao Zhan alone, which is also a blow to the morale of the Lakers. Therefore, little Wharton didn't think much about waiting for Ye Xuan to dribble the ball to the front court, and immediately called a timeout, hoping to adjust the state of the players.
