Love, who scored three-pointers for the Cavaliers in quick succession, high-fived James several times in the retreat.

James, who loves passing, is undoubtedly a great teammate, but playing next to James is actually very difficult, especially as one of the Big Three, playing with James is even more difficult than a role player.

Because the superstars who play next to James basically have to make some sacrifices, reduce their shooting power or even directly transform, and always be ready to take the blame, Bosh and Love can be said to be such examples.

Bosh's data of approaching an average of 20+10 per game during the Raptors period was completely a traditional style of play that turned the river and the sea on the inside, and after arriving at the Heat, while the shooting power was sharply reduced, he was forced to completely change his style of play and float to the outside to open up space.

Lefou, who has played 30+30 data, has even more beautiful data during the Timberwolves period, it is completely a double-double machine, and the highest rebounding season reached 15.2, this data, but it contains 4.5 frontcourt rebounds, and last season after the Cavaliers changed to space forward, the rebounding data has been less than 10, and the number of shots has been reduced to an average of 12 times per game.

The same Big Three, the Green Shirts Big Three are highly praised, because they are the real Big Three, the distribution of the ball throughout the season is extremely balanced, the 07-08 season is a little more than 13 shots per game, and the following seasons on the peak tail, are the same, there is no season with an average shot difference of one goal per game, and there has never been a superstar who sacrificed a large number of players to become role players.

And James's version of the Big Three, usually the other two giants have to make more or less sacrifices on the court, and the last person who benefits is James who is the chosen son and the first person.

This is also the reason why many fans really don't like James. No matter how strong he is, no matter how many honors and achievements he has achieved, James Yi is a typical example of selfishness and hypocrisy, under the banner of brother basketball, but in fact he is the little brother basketball, the brother basketball of the Big Three, and the status is very different.

The magic of the championship in the hearts of the players is something that fans will never be able to experience, and they have to make sacrifices in order to pursue the ultimate goal of the championship, and the reason why they dare to make this sacrifice is actually because of their trust in James's strong strength.

Although James is indeed the biggest beneficiary of the Big Three, it is difficult to associate the words hypocrisy and selfishness with James, after all, these sacrificial stars are not stupid and will not give up the ball for no reason.

This season after winning the championship, the Cavaliers have formed the habit of feeding Love in the first quarter, and like the Clippers feeding Redick, they feed the shooters first.

Under the control of James, the Cavaliers' ball possession has been constantly transferred to Lefou, as if to compensate for Lefou's sacrifice in the past two years, and Lefou's shooting power this season has indeed improved a lot compared to the previous two seasons.

In the next game, Love was still on fire, and although Nowitzki had tried his best to defend, Eros still added points to the Cavaliers one after another.

With Chen's defense, James did not play easily, and even passed the ball carefully, in this case, it is said that the Mavericks will not be quickly pulled away.

But when Love is on fire and another champion of the Cavaliers other than James is also making a difference, the situation is completely different.

If Leonard is the player in the entire league whose growth trajectory and performance on both offensive and defensive ends are most like Kobe, then Kyrie Irving, the 11-year-old champion, can be said to be the player with the most Kobe Bryant's playing temperament.

And Irving himself is indeed one of Kobe's staunchest fans in the league, even when he was with James in the Cavaliers, Irving still publicly stated that Kobe Bryant was his favorite player.

Irving and Kobe Bryant have the same natural big heart and the same killer instinct, at the last moment of the seventh game of the finals, facing Curry's defense, with a three-pointer to rewrite the score of 89 to 92:89, the Warriors completely fell into passivity, this valuable goal is the best portrayal of Irving.

Irving is not so much a point guard as a point guard with the height of a point guard, and watching Irving's games always allows people to see the shadow of the personal heroism of the big four quarterbacks back then.

Facing the Mavericks' defensive titan Matthews, Irving still played with ease, catching the ball and posing as a triple threat, his eyes looked to the right, but he suddenly dropped the ball to the left.

After Matthews quickly retracted his center of gravity from the right side, Owen came back directly with a crotch, as if the left side of the break was a feint, and the right side was his real breakthrough route.

The moment Matthews tried his best to adjust back to the right side of the defense again, Owen changed direction with a very low body, and Matthews, who was finally difficult to adjust after shaking several times from the left side and the center of gravity, passed by.

Bogut, who had long been paying attention to the offensive and defensive duel between Irving and Matthews, quickly made up the defense in place, but Owen was not afraid at all, and continued to face Bogut's defensive offense, Bogut's big hand blocked out looked like it was only a stone's throw away from the basketball, but after all, it was a fraction of a second, Owen twisted his body in the air to change the ball to his left hand, and bounced the ball into the basket lightly, worthy of being a man with a perfect layup skill package!

The current Irving can be said to be the best rhythm master in the entire league, Matthews' lateral movement ability has decreased greatly after the major injury, and the offensive players with defensive strength are quite effective, but in the face of a rhythm master like Irving, the defensive effect has been greatly reduced.

It's not surprising that Matthews can't defend Irving's breakout, after all, there are not many players in this league who can defend Irving.

The Mavericks are not afraid of Irving's breakthrough, after all, there is also Bogut's supplementary defense after that, which can always appropriately limit his shooting percentage.

It's just that Irving's three-point shot in this game is the same as Love's, and it is really difficult to defend under the combination of sudden shots, but fortunately, Matthews's defense is far from degrading to the extent of Nowitzki, although it has been broken through many times, but it has not given Irving too many three-point opportunities.

In the last game between the Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers, Lefu broke out alone, and he blew up the opponent in the first quarter.

Although the Mavericks fell behind a lot in the score, they did not lose the slightest bit in momentum.

"Defend! Defend! Nowitzki clapped his hands and shouted at the Mavericks, "They don't keep feeling hot like this!" ”

No matter how he sounded, it sounded like he was cheering himself up.

It's a pity that until the two sides began to replace the bench players, the Cavaliers still had no downward trend, and finally before the two left the game, Love made 6 of 6 three-pointers, and Irving made 3 of 3 three-pointers.

If it weren't for the Cavaliers' rotation, the score at the end of the first quarter might not have been 46:31, and the margin would have gone straight to 20 points.

In the case that the Mavericks played decently on the offensive end and did not feel particularly cold, the Cavaliers still led by as many as 15 points, which can only be said that this offensive firepower is really ferocious, and this is still the situation of JR Smith 3 three-point shots 1, if he also draws the wind, I am afraid that the Mavericks will really be demoralized.

Everyone knows that the Warriors are famous for their three-point shooting, but this season the Warriors have been overtaken by the Rockets and Cavaliers in the number of three-point shots, and these two teams are even more three-point teams.

Chen Zhi, who was already sitting on the bench, took two sips of the sports drink handed over by assistant coach Sam Gold, and his defense of James in the first quarter was quite successful, and James only made five shots in the entire first quarter, only hitting a turning shot and a long-range three-point shot that pressed the whistle.

However, Chen Zhi understands very well that it is not that he really restricts James, but Lefu and others feel too good, James passes the ball out, and only when James attacks later, can he verify whether he can limit James.

Chen Zhi didn't have too many reluctant shots in the first quarter, and like James, he was trying his best to make the ball for his teammates, and James' defense also put a lot of pressure on Chen Zhi.

Even with trailing by 15 points in the first quarter, Carlisle still tightly controlled Chen's playing time, after all, the Mavericks had just passed a wave of injuries.

Chen Zhi had to enter the attack mode early after thinking about himself, after all, he was facing the Cavaliers, and it was not a good decision to bring this point difference to the second half.

However, the performance of the Mavericks' benches made Chen Zhi find himself worried.

Barnes, who left the court early, began to lead Curry Jr. and other bench players to transition after Chen arrived off the court, and after Deron returned from injury to control the offensive rhythm of the bench lineup, the Mavericks' bench lineup offense immediately went up a notch, and the tactical offense was orderly.

Maybe after returning from injury, the second senior brother was a little excited, not only combing the team's offense, but also a little back to the peak of the fat taste on the offensive end, the rhythmic body in front of the big change of direction, one after another, continuous shaking of the defensive Shambaugh to get the vacancy, a back step three-point, a successful three-point foul.

With the return of DeLong, Curry Jr., who has been on a hot streak lately, has been freed from his ball-handling role and switched to a more familiar scoring rhythm.

Curry Jr. ran without the ball one after another, and after Powell and Mejery took turns to cover, he fired outside the three-point line again and again, and then bombed the Cavaliers' basket again and again under Delon's cannonball.

In just four minutes, Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue called two timeouts, and after Shambaugh was quickly replaced, veteran Dunleavy was also quickly replaced, although Richard Jefferson and McCray were also not restrictive.

With his hair rising to the sky, and the beard on Harden's chin can be called the league's hairy Shambaugh, sitting on the sidelines with a depressed face, the Cavaliers traded him for him, originally as a starter, JR Smith was just a bonus, and now it's good, and the performance on the bench is not satisfactory to the coach.

Seeing that Irving has been replaced by Tyronn Lue in advance, James's face finally eased a little after leading by 15 points, and became solemn again.

It may be very difficult for the Cavaliers to defend their title this season, most of the bench are three-point shooters, and they are too old, their independent offensive ability is almost the same, and the defensive level is much worse than that of the Warriors' bench, and it is even inferior to the Mavericks bench led by Delon.

After Irving came on the court, he broke through one after another to score points, and finally helped the Cavaliers stabilize the position that had begun to collapse, but the 15-point lead, after Irving scored a goal, there were only 2 points left, and the 15-point advantage was tied before the Mavericks' main lineup played!

The bench lineup played so well that it even compressed the playing time of Chen Zhi and Nowitzki's main Mavericks.

However, with the return of the main players of the Cavaliers, there is still a huge gap between the Mavericks' bench lineup and them, and Carlisle began to change to the main lineup after Deron was slapped away by James on a passing layup.

After the substitution rotation, Lefou's fiery hand in the first quarter finally showed signs of cooling down, and the score of the two teams' main battle suddenly fell into a stalemate, and at halftime, the two sides ended in a draw.

After the start of the second half, the main competition between the two teams was still in the balance, and the story of the first half was once again staged in the bench transition stage, and the Mavericks bench once again beat the Cavaliers bench to the ground.

However, this time it was not the Mavericks' outside firepower that was powerful, but the center Mejri.

After joining the Lakers in the offseason with Russian center Mozgov, who won the championship with the Cavaliers last season, the Cavaliers have not been able to find a good replacement inside, and finally signed Chris Anderson on a one-year contract.

Speaking of Chris Anderson, I am afraid that many fans will be stunned, as if they have heard of this guy, and they don't seem to know much, but when it comes to the nickname "Birdman", probably many people will suddenly realize that his tattoo that crowned the entire NBA has been well-known to Chinese fans when he assisted James Heat to win the championship.

However, the current birdman is already old, and he is no longer the hot guy next to James back then, and there is a big gap in height compared to Meijri.

In just a few minutes of playing time, the once sharp Birdman was fully suppressed by the outburst Meijerry, and Meijerry, who grabbed the frontcourt rebounds one after another, slammed the head of the aging birdman several times, and the scene was simply sad.

Tristan Thompson also had to play, but unfortunately met Meijerry, who played with great confidence and toughness, and Thompson did not take much advantage.

Watching Sister Mei's rare killing, Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile, in the entire alliance, I'm afraid that Sister Mei will be able to wreak havoc on the inside of the knights. Without Mozgov, the Cavaliers' interior line is really weak, which may become their biggest weakness on the way to defending the title.

When the two sides put the main lineup back on the court to decide, Chen Zhi looked at the score, and the Mavericks were already leading by 5 points.

The Mavericks bench in this game is really powerful, but looking at James, who has been coming from the backcourt to the front court with the ball, Chen Zhi knows that the critical moment that will determine the final direction of this game has just arrived.
