"Chu Xuan used Draymond Green as the starting No. 3 position to play against James, this is really a rather surprising choice, it seems that the rumors that Kupchak wants to trade Green are completely false, Chu Xuan attaches so much importance to him, in the finals, the responsibility of defending the opponent's number one star was handed over to him."

"Originally, I thought that Chu Xuan would use the long-legged and long-armed guy from Greece as the No. 3 position, after all, in the previous seven-game series with the Thunder, he did a really good job in defending Kevin Durant. However, now the game surprised me as Draymond Green took Giannis Antetokounmpo's place. ”

"It's only now that I really realized that Chu Xuan's employment strategy is too weird, he doesn't have a fixed candidate at all, but he can always handle it just right and win for the team."

"Although Draymond Green is about the same size as James, he really won't be James' opponent, he can't guard James. However, judging by his performance in the playoffs this season, he does have a lot of potential to be a qualified starter for a team. If the Lakers are really willing to trade him, I believe there are many teams that will be interested. However, judging by this series, it seems that the Lakers are not going to trade him. ”

"Even if Chu Xuan changes the formation again, the Lakers will not be the opponent of the Heat. It turns out that as long as the opponent's No. 3 position is a strong point, then the Lakers will play extremely hard. The Brooklyn Nets were able to play seven games against the Heat, mainly because of the presence of Joe Johnson and Paul Pearce, who are all too familiar with James. And they played well in the series, and players in other positions also played well, so the Heat were forced into a tie-break. But the Lakers are different, James plays young players like Giannis and Draymond, and they will completely dominate the game in a crushing manner. ”

……

On the night of the 3rd, when the G1 match of the finals started at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, the whole world was shrouded in crazy discussions.

Everything was because Chu Xuan changed the lineup and used Green to play against James.

And their views are surprisingly unanimous that the Lakers won't be a match for the Heat.

"Everybody is saying that this series is just a matter of a few games, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the game. It's really disgusting. Phil Webb sat on the sidelines, slightly dissatisfied.

He said this to Chu Xuan, because around him, only Chu Xuan was closest to him.

Besides, it was impossible for him to complain to the players, after all, Chu Xuan and him were both coaches, and Weber had always been impressed by Chu Xuan and trusted Chu Xuan very much.

"Phil, you should be happy, what they said is not wrong, the series is just a matter of how many games to play." Chu Xuan's expression was extremely calm, and as he spoke, his attention stayed on the game.

Both offenses were aggressive, but in the first few minutes of the game, the Lakers had a rare upper hand.

"You, Chu, do you mean you gave up? This is not what I know you to be. Weber was quite surprised, you must know that in the past year, Chu Xuan's self-confidence has infected all of them, and he has never seen Chu Xuan's unconfident side.

On the court, Whiteside received a pass from Nash on the inside and dunked with both hands, continuing to lay the groundwork for the Lakers.

In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers' interior advantage was very obvious, and Noll and Whiteside played very well, which made the Heat, who were already afraid of the interior team, suddenly fall into disadvantage.

"Phil, you see, Hassan played a good game. His running and receiving awareness are much better than he was at the beginning. This guy has the potential to become a celebrity insider, really, I think your test of him can be completely over, and I can give him Monica with confidence. Chu Xuan turned his head and looked at Phil Webb with a smile.

Monica and Whiteside played like glue, and the relationship was confirmed, but helplessly, Weber was very stubborn and never nodded, which made Whiteside very hurt, and he complained in front of Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan changed the topic and mentioned Whiteside, which immediately provoked Webb to blow his beard and stare at him, he knew what Chu Xuan meant.

After being silent for a long time, Weber sighed and said, "Forget it, I know they are going to get married, let them go." ”

Chu Xuan laughed, and the stubborn old man finally bowed his head.

"Phil, it's a good decision, maybe it won't be long before you'll be able to hold your grandson."

The corners of Webb's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, Webb said: "Chu, do you think the Lakers can't beat the Heat?" ”

This old man was still struggling with this problem, and Chu Xuan couldn't help but be helpless: "Phil, I didn't say that the Lakers can't beat the Heat. I just agree that this series is just a matter of a few games, but it's a matter of how many games the Heat have in our hands, not how many games we can hold in the hands of the Heat. ”

When Webb heard this, he immediately smiled: "Okay, Chu, I was deceived by you." ”

********

In the first half, the Lakers' performance exceeded everyone's expectations, under the leadership of Kobe Bryant and the two interior lines, the Lakers did a very good job on both offensive and defensive ends, especially Green, his defense of James was very effective, putting the Heat in trouble, so that the Lakers were able to enter the second half with an 11-point advantage.

Green's defensive method against James was specially arranged by Chu Xuan. This is what he learned by studying Spurs tactics and Leonard's defensive style, and Green has been trying it for a long time in order to be able to make a splash against James in the future.

And sure enough, this game was against James, and Green did make James feel very much trouble. James is always playing very uncomfortable and is in an extremely low state.

However, after all, James is the first person in the league, and his ability to adjust is unmatched by anyone.

Green stole the limelight and became the talk of the world.

However, Green couldn't have locked James for the entire game. After halftime, James began to fight back, he became extremely resolute in his shooting, and began to increase his efforts to break inside.

Of course, Spoelstra also made a change in the tactical arrangement, he let James play the No. 4 position, and Chu Xuan had to let Green move to the No. 4 position, which made the Lakers' interior height drop.

Spoelstra wanted this kind of result, and the Heat, led by James, fought back frantically, and in a wave of climaxes, they filled the disadvantage.

I have to say that the Lakers were very unlucky in this game.

The two sides were anxious until the end, and at the critical moment, the player made two consecutive shots out of the frame, and James assisted Ray Allen to hit the killer ball.

As a result, the Lakers lost the first game with 109:110, 1 point.

James was 9-of-23, 1-of-6 from three-point range and 13-of-16 from the free-throw line, contributing 32 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.

Ray Allen had 17 points, Bosh 15 points and six boards, Chalmers 11 points and Battier 10.

On the Lakers' side, Bryant had 37 points, 6 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Green had 10 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Noll had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Whiteside had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. (To be continued.) )
