Chapter 405: Match Point

"The Cleveland Cavaliers are down 2-0, and the Finals are pretty bad. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 I don't know if David Blatter has any good solutions, otherwise, the Cavaliers will really have no chance of winning the championship. ”

"From the current point of view, the Lakers are still very likely to defend their title. I have to say that the luck of the Cavaliers this year is really not very good, Kevin Love will be injured, this is really to send a championship to the Lakers. ”

"LeBron must be very unwilling, in the next, the finals of the tournament venue to the quick loan center, the home Cavaliers don't know if they can play a strong performance, I hope this series will not end so easily, I believe LeBron will definitely find a solution to the game."

"The burden on LeBron is just too heavy, and the rest of the Cavaliers need to step up and ...... at the same time"

……

After the two games in Los Angeles, there was a heated buzz around the world.

Everyone is talking about the Finals, talking about James, talking about the possibility of the Cavaliers winning the first championship in team history, talking about the final game trend of this series, and talking about whether the Cavaliers can turn the tables in the next game.

You know, now that the Cavaliers are down 0:2, if they can't beat the Lakers to win the third game when they return home, then the possibility of the Cavaliers eventually losing the game will be very, very high, that is, the possibility of the Lakers finally defending the championship will become very, very big.

Therefore, this third game is definitely the most important game of the series.

"Chu, how sure are you that you will win in Cleveland?"

During the finals, media reporters must have to interview Chu Xuan, who is the head coach, and as the focus of attention from the outside world, Chu Xuan is undoubtedly very attentive to his own words.

After hearing the reporter ask this question, Chu Xuan answered unhurriedly after thinking about it.

"Cleveland are one of the best teams in the league and they are very competitive. This team has LeBron James, one of the best players, and superstars like Kyrie Irving, and playing against such a team is the most satisfying and looking forward to for us. We're all enjoying the game against Cleveland and it's a team that deserves all the energy and respect we put in. If there's any certainty that we can beat them, all I can say is that it's not an affirmative answer and we're going to try and try to win the game as much as we can. ”

As the head coach, Chu Xuan would definitely not say that the team could easily defeat the Cavaliers. Let's not talk about whether to brag about this, but at least the current Lakers team does not have this absolute strength and certainty, even if the Cavaliers do not have LeFou, they are also at the level of a strong team in the league, and if they want to win such a team, they must pay a certain amount of effort and price. Otherwise, it is very likely that the horse will stumble and encounter Waterloo.

But for the outside world, the Lakers have a 2:0 advantage, Chu Xuan still said so, which makes many people feel that the Lakers are low-key and humble, and people feel that the possibility of the Lakers eventually becoming the defending champion is still very, very large. Because the Lakers seem to be doing a really good job of accumulating character.

&&&&&&&&&&&&

On the night of the 5th, the Lakers rushed to Cleveland on a special plane.

After a night's rest, at noon the next day, the Lakers had a pre-game training and preparation at the Quick Loan Center, during which the Lakers members were interviewed by visiting media reporters, adding focus and topics to the game.

Although there is no particularly offensive dialogue between the two sides, and there is no smell of gunpowder wafting out, the-for-tat in the secret of this game can already be faintly noticed. It's just a sign of the calm façade that preceded the war.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the competition officially kicked off.

In this game, the Cavaliers' starting lineup was changed.

David Blatter reinstated the Cavaliers' usual lineup and stopped playing small-ball. In this way, James naturally returned to the No. 3 position, and as for the No. 2 and No. 1 positions, it was naturally Ray Allen and Irving. On the inside, Trestan Thompson is still as the starting inside, and in today's game, he has an additional inside partner, Patrick Casey, the 19th rookie in the first round in 14, that is to say, Blatter arranged a rookie as a starter today to fill the vacancy and impact caused by Love's absence.

Although Casey was the only first-round pick of the Cavaliers last year, he didn't get much attention for the Cavaliers, a championship-hungry team, and the team's role has always been marginalized. Casey is 208cm tall and weighs 1g, and is on the field as a power forward and center. Casey's offensive ability is relatively weak, so his presence in the Cavaliers is still not very strong.

In his rookie season, Casey played a full 82 games, but he only averaged 8 minutes per game, and in terms of personal data, Casey was only able to contribute 0.9 points and 2.5 boards, which is still quite bad in comparison. From a technical point of view, Casey's strengths are mainly in the protection of rebounds.

However, judging from the past two games in the Finals, what the Cavaliers need to improve is not the protection of rebounding, but the offensive threat from the inside. Therefore, when Blatter arranged Casey as the starter, everyone, including Chu Xuan, couldn't understand this approach.

However, when the game really started, Chu Xuan understood Blatter's purpose.

The Cavaliers are still characterized by playing small and fast, and having Casey on the court is to ensure the team's speed, while at the same time strengthening the protection of rebounds and the impact on the restricted area.

In doing so, the Cavaliers have really achieved great results, and a number of outside players such as James and Irving have played like never before, which makes the game very intense, and the situation is also ups and downs. The game was quite stalemate, and it was not until the last minute that the winner was finally decided, and in the end it was the Lakers who won the game.

The scores of the game were 30:23, 22:30, 26:22, 30:25, and the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 108:100 at the Quick Loan Center to tie the series to 3:0.

In this game, the Lakers' starting five Tigers all played very well, Whiteside had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks, Noll had 11 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks, Kobe Bryant had 18 points and 8 assists, Antetokounmpo had 22 points and 5 boards, and LaVine had 27 points, 6 boards and 4 assists...... As for the Cavaliers, James had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, Irving had 22 points and 6 assists, and Ray Allen had 20 points. (To be continued.) )
