Los Angeles was jubilant, and the Lakers opened up a good situation by winning their first Finals victory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This game, although the rhythm of the game is very smooth, it is not possible to see the absolute advantage of the Lakers. However, it made people discover the fatal flaw of the Cavaliers, that is, they relied too much on James. Because judging from the game, when the Lakers' defense is completely aimed at James, James will soon have fitness problems, and then the Cavaliers will be in big trouble. This is a very fatal disadvantage, because if Blatter doesn't have a good solution, then the Cavaliers won't be particularly easy to play in the next few games.

Considering the fierce competition in the finals, there will definitely be few changes between the two sides in the next series. As a result, no one thought that this series would end easily and that it would not be any less exciting. At this time, after the first game, the outside world began to look forward to whether the Cavaliers could make a good change and win the second game to bring the advantage back to their side.

"We will try to avoid the problems exposed in the first game and we are confident that we will win the second game."

In James' declaration, two days later, Game 2 of the Finals kicked off at the Staples Center.

With the arrival of the second battle, the heat and atmosphere of the finals have become even stronger.

Because this is a very crucial game, if the Lakers win this victory, then it will take a 2-0 lead and thus have an absolute advantage in the Finals. And if the Cavaliers win, then the score will become 1:1, and the finals will become extremely intense. This is the highlight of this game, so the attention it has aroused is still very large.

Everyone's attention is focused on James and the backward Cavaliers, so the Lakers playing at home still don't have much pressure. However, as the head coach, Chu Xuan still has a lot of energy invested in this game. Because according to his intentions, he has to win this ball. Only in this way can the Lakers successfully defend their title faster and more steadily.

Judging from the first game, the Lakers' lineup is quite advantageous. Moreover, in Chu Xuan's view, no matter how Blatter makes changes, he can't change the flaw of the Cavaliers' inner line, which is the biggest breakthrough. Therefore, no matter how Blatter changes, Chu Xuan will not change his plan to start from the inside.

Chu Xuan's arrangement is still the same as on the court, but on this basis, Chu Xuan has increased Kobe's offensive role. As for the inside line, Chu Xuan did not blindly let Noll take on the offense, he asked Whiteside to take on the same offensive tasks as Noll. The main reason for this arrangement is that the Cavaliers, who are behind, will definitely launch a comeback today, and James will undoubtedly focus more on offense. At that time, there will definitely be more defensive tasks for Noll to take on, so Noll will definitely have limited energy and will not be able to provide much firepower on the offensive end. Moreover, the Cavaliers will definitely increase their defense of Noll, so Chu Xuan will let Whiteside take on the offense.

Speaking of which, Whiteside's offensive ability is still good. His size makes him a very dangerous player in the box, but only if he is in a good team or surrounded by team-mates who are good at passing. And today's Lakers meet all the conditions. The reason why Whiteside didn't show his offensive talent very well is because the Lakers have too many players who can attack, and the team's tactics don't require him to take on offensive tasks.

However, now when Chu Xuan needs him to take on the offense, Whiteside has the strength to do it.

……

The Cavaliers definitely didn't know Chu Xuan's arrangements and ideas, so the game was still full of suspense.

Blatter did make tactical adjustments and changes in his style of play, and he increased Irving's offensive role on the court, and the purpose of this approach was still obvious, which was to relieve the pressure on James. After all, when James was in the Heat and Bosh was away, Spoelstra often used Wade to relieve pressure on James, so that James could play more easily and freely.

After all, it is important to know that James is a player who is used to playing with the wind, and he needs strong teammates to support him.

In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' offense focused on mid-range shooting after break-and-roll and pick-and-roll, but this approach did not have a great effect. At the same time, Kobe Bryant increased the number of shots at the beginning, which surprised Blatter very much, because now the league is almost accustomed to Kobe Bryant, who always takes 10~15 shots and averages nearly 10 assists per game. And it was precisely this neglect that led to Kobe Bryant suddenly taking on a lot of offensive roles, and the Cavaliers were completely unprepared. In the first quarter, the Lakers scored 35 points, while the Cavaliers scored only 25 points.

Trailing by 10 points in the first quarter of the game is a very bad sign for the Cavaliers. They don't have any ability to take the risk of losing the second game, because Love is not there, and if they lose the second game, then for the Cavaliers, it will be tantamount to losing the entire series. Therefore, everyone on the Cavaliers has the belief that they will win. Now, after falling behind in the first quarter, James immediately set an example, led the Cavaliers to play the Cavaliers, and suppressed the Lakers for a while. In this quarter, the Cavaliers filled the deficit by a few points, but the initiative was still on the Lakers' side.

In the second half, Chu Xuan made a quick decision, arranged to play the main inside line, arranged more shots for Whiteside, and arranged several special tactics around Whiteside. And Whiteside is really good, not only does he do a good job of attacking but also does a very good job defensively. On the bench, the performances of Jeremy Lin and Gasol were very gratifying, which helped the Lakers a lot.

Kobe Bryant got a double-double of 13 points and 12 assists in the last game, and in today's game, he put more energy into the offense, and in the first half of the game, Kobe Bryant's hand was not particularly good, only scoring 5 points. However, in the second half, Kobe Bryant exploded, especially in the final quarter, he hit consecutive key shots and scored 14 points in the final quarter, helping the Lakers seal the win and cut off the Cavaliers' idea of equalizing.

The final score was 108-97, and the Lakers beat the Cavaliers by 11 points.

Bryant had 27 points, 6 boards, 6 assists and 5 steals, Whiteside had 19 points, 9 boards, 5 blocks and 4 steals, LaVine had 18 points, Jeremy Lin had 11 points and Gasol had 10 points.

As for the Cavaliers, James was not particularly in great shape, scoring only 22 points. Irving, on the other hand, had 23 points and seven assists, but his efficiency was only 8-of-23. (To be continued.) )
