The Cavaliers lost to the Lakers 99-107 on the road, and after the game, LeBron James refused to be interviewed and went straight back to the locker room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Obviously, the pressure on him is undoubtedly very high, after all, this is the third consecutive season that he has played against the Lakers and Kobe Bryant on the stage of the Finals. The previous two defeats brought him a lot of impact and pressure, and now in this finals, LeBron's psychological pressure can be imagined. ”

The Lakers' interior was guarded by the Cavaliers, while the Cavaliers' TT Thompson and Kevin Love both played unusually efficient. It stands to reason that the Cavaliers should have won, but they lost, and it can only be said that the poor play on the perimeter and off the bench made the Cavaliers miss out on a great chance to win. This loss can definitely bring a lot of pressure to the Cavaliers, especially for LeBron James, winning the first game and losing the first game are definitely two completely different concepts, I hope he can adjust his mentality to face the second game. ”

In fact, the Cavaliers still found a way to defend the Lakers in the first game, and if they can play better on the offensive end, this Finals will not be able to beat the Lakers. But after all, the Lakers are the best defensive team in the league today, and whether the Cavaliers can find a way to attack is still the key. ”

"If the Cavaliers want to win, they have to do three things, first, play really well inside, make sure they rebound and attack. Second, James played well. Third, the bench can play well, after all, the Lakers' bench is claimed to be comparable to the starters of many other teams in the league. ”

……

After the first fight, reports of the game came out like crazy. And most of the voices revolve around the Cavaliers and James. Because this finals is really a bit special, is it the Lakers' three consecutive championships or James's shame? That's the biggest gimmick of the finals.

However, the loss in the first game cast a shadow over the Cavaliers' series prospects. That's not an exaggeration, because the pressure on the Cavaliers and James is just too great, and their mentality is not enough for them to go into this series from behind. So, from the beginning of the series, the Cavaliers' slogan was to win one and keep three, that is, try to win the first game, and then go and keep the first home court in Cleveland, which is the third game.

However, the situation was out of control, and the Cavaliers' plans were frustrated, and their hopes of creating a psychological advantage ended in failure. Ahead, the Cavaliers will undoubtedly need to move forward in the face of adversity.

"This is the finals, everything is unpredictable." Speaking at a press conference, Tyronn Lue said: "It's hard for all of us to accept the loss, but we have to face it. The first battle is a thing of the past, and the purpose of its existence is only for us to better study and make up for the shortcomings. The Cavaliers will forget about losing and we will come into the second game with the best shape and mentality. ”

Joining Tyronn Lue at the press conference was Lore, who had an excellent performance in the game.

"I think the first game gave us hope, and I think we can beat the Lakers. In the next two days, we'll sit together and figure out how to play better, and I'm sure the championship will be ours." ”

In his opinion, James and Irving did not play particularly well after all, so if all three of them played well, then the Cavaliers must be able to beat the Lakers. However, Lefou's idea is obviously a bit too optimistic, as an opponent, how can the Lakers give the Cavaliers a chance to play at the same time?

……

In the early morning of the next day after the game, the NBA officially announced the best defensive team for the regular season.

Noll, Antetokounmpo, George, Leonard and Davis were named to the All-Purpose First Team, while Wall, Butler, Jordan Jr., Green and Mason Plumlee were named to the Second Team.

In the All-Defensive Team selection, Mason Plumlee won such a big honor for the first time in his career, which is also a very positive sign for him. Mason is only 26 years old, and he is the oldest rookie to enter the NBA in 13 years. He's a very good interior player with a lot of potential, and although he's a bit older when he enters the NBA draft, the voice of the bullish on him is generally high. And Mason lived up to expectations, winning the Basketball World Cup with the United States in the summer of '14. You know, being selected for the 12-man squad of the U.S. team is definitely a supreme honor. After last season's poor performance, many people thought that being named to the 12-man squad for Team USA would be the pinnacle of Mason's life. However, this guy is still very powerful, in the regular season this season, Mason ushered in an explosion, as a defensive center paired by the Nets and Brook Lopez, Mason played an average of 14.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. In ESPN's season summary of the 15~16 season not long ago, Mason ranked 7th in the center position, which is a very high affirmation. And being selected to the All-Defensive Team this time is also a new beginning for him.

Of course, as for whether he can go to glory, everything still depends on his efforts and the creation of life.

……

In this All-Defensive Team, the Lakers have two people selected to the All-Defensive First Team, which is also the first time in NBA history. The election of Knoll and Antetokounmpo did not raise any doubts, after all, from the 82 games in the regular season, Antetokounmpo and Noll's defensive performances are obvious to all.

However, the two of them still aroused Chu Xuan's dissatisfaction, and he felt that Whiteside was ignored again.

"Hassan should be in the field of vision of the judges, and his excellence must not be measured by data alone. Moreover, the Lakers' 76-win performance was enough for him to be named to the All-Defensive Team along with Norris and Janis. However, none of this happened, which made me quite unhappy in my heart. ”

In fact, after the awards were announced one after another this season, Chu Xuan's inner apprehension became stronger and stronger. He had a vague feeling that this might be the trigger for the Whiteside incident.

However, what can Chu Xuan do? He can't influence the awards.

……

The next day, the NBA officially announced another award, and Leonard was elected the best defensive player in the 15~16 season. Finally, the natural defender finally got the honor he had always deserved, and Leonard became the first perimeter player since Artest to win the Defensive Player of the Year. (To be continued.) )
