On June 5th, the third game of the finals will be played at the Cleveland Quick Loan Center.

The Cavaliers who are back at home are facing a back-to-back battle, and this one loses again, and this year will be over again!

No one will remember who the third and fourth places were, and they may be sadder, but they are also luckier, because the runners-up will always be remembered, and someone will always remember that they lost.

Today's game is a return point for the Cavaliers' morale, if they win this game, they can regain the courage to fight with the Lakers, but if they lose this game today, looking at the Lakers' wolf-like posture, it is impossible for them to win a game in a 0-3 situation like last season.

Either you win, or you fish.

Although this is only the third game, the Cavaliers already have the desperation of the last battle and the last morale of the ship!

On the Lakers' side, the players all put away their contempt after two consecutive wins, although there was Kobe Bryant's last words to relax the atmosphere, but they knew that Liu Ren was definitely serious! Maybe Green and Whiteside, the two cores of the team, won't be in danger, but everyone else is in danger!

And Liu Ren's words are mainly for other players, veterans like Gasol and Korver will never have such a problem, Green and Whiteside, who have experienced the time of low-level players and have a firm mind, will not drop the chain at this moment, mainly Nick Young, McCollum, LaVine, Clarkson, Antetokounmpo and others, this group of people are fooling around, it seems that after Jeremy Lin left, they formed a new "nightclub n-man group".

But now there is Liu Ren's high-pressure rule, and they all put away their thoughts with contempt.

In fact, it is not too difficult to do, that is, two games for 3 days, focus for three days, in exchange for a comfortable life in Los Angeles in the future, this kind of thing is chosen to be executed without thinking about it.

……

The Lakers still sent a combination of Antetokounmpo, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside who were strong enough to explode in this year's Finals.

The Cavaliers are still sending their strongest lineup: Irving, Afralo, James, Love, Mozgov,

The biggest change made by the Lakers in the finals is to put Clarkson in the position of the sixth man, so that the Lakers can start both Irving and the double-high outside Liu Ren + Antetokounmpo who can put huge pressure on James.

After the start of the game, the Lakers still had an advantage in the opening game, and the hot Liu Ren took advantage of Afflalo's fear that he would break through and step back to defend and scored three three-pointers in a row, helping the Lakers take a five-point lead from the beginning.

Liu Ren's pressure has the greatest impact on the Lakers players is their defensive enthusiasm, Antetokounmpo played hard to scare James, and the weight was not enough to make up the height, so how can such a big man bring endless interference to James.

The courage of the knight to fight against the water? The Lakers said that it didn't exist, and they carried with them the despair that they could be driven away if they lost!

When the official timeout in the first quarter and the two sides began to rotate, the Lakers still took the initiative on the road, leading the Cavaliers by 7 points 18-11!

The Cavaliers players found that they had been fighting with all their might, but the Lakers group seemed to be even crazier, Antetokounmpo did not spare his physical strength at all, played with his life on defense, and was replaced when he was tired, and the son of the dunk king, Nance Jr., continued to fight on the court, relying on the advantage of height and arm length to block James on the outside, leaving Irving alone to face Liu Ren and call him miserable.

And Lefou, another superstar of the Cavaliers, has been two years, and he still can't fit into the Cavaliers.

To play an ordinary team, Love only needs to play the role of Bosh's three-point shooting, but to play the Lakers...... It's just an invisible man! Just like the 2013 and 2014 finals Bosh, it was a complete negative performance.

After the official pause returned, the two sides began to rotate.

The Lakers were replaced by Clarkson, Liu Ren, Korver, Antetokounmpo, and Gasol, and the Cavaliers were replaced by Della Vedova, Richard Jefferson, James, Love, Tristan Thompson.

The crumbling morale that the Cavaliers had managed to gather had just begun, and there was a reason for it to collapse.

At this time, James stood up, what the hell should we not dare to vote?

In the face of the Lakers, James still defended as before, shooting directly from outside the three-point line.

Not to mention that although James's hand after weight loss is not working from time to time, it will never work like in the last two years of the Heat, and it happened to be good at this time, and he scored two three-pointers in a row to help the Cavaliers relieve their sluggish morale.

However, Clarkson, who came off the bench on the Lakers' side, was like Westbrook, and forced a layup under the basket in a row, causing Tristan Thompson, who had just been replaced, to foul twice in a row and hit all four free throws.

James scored six points on two offenses, Clarkson scored just four points on two offenses, and it looked like the Cavaliers were chasing two points back.

But Tristan Thompson, who grabbed the most rebounds from the Cavaliers, had just over a minute on the game and was directly fouled twice!

The Cavaliers chased two points, but their own rebounding leader fell into a foul crisis and couldn't make ends meet? Pay for one's whistle? That's probably what it means, they're losing a lot anyway!

By the time it came to the Finals, Clarkson was initially relegated to the bench and was initially a little disgruntled.

However, when he got to the bench, he found that he had found a better way to play.

No one in the second team grabbed the ball!

Because he knew what Clarkson's characteristics were, and just gave himself a chance to rest on the court, Liu Ren, like Korver, who came up in rotation, pulled outside the three-point line, opened up space for Clarkson, and let Clarkson burst out, and if this guy split the ball, he would shoot.

This allowed Clarkson to find the most comfortable way to play, which is impossible when playing with the starters, because Liu Ren wants to hold the ball and Green wants to hold the ball, so he can only do the role of opening up space that he is not good at.

Clarkson made another contribution this time, and when James was about to step up and score two three-pointers in a row, and was about to boost the morale of the Cavaliers again, he caused consecutive fouls from Tristan Thompson, forcing Tyronn Lue to replace Channing Frye, who didn't dare to be replaced in this year's Finals.

Channing Frye is characterized by his three-point shot, which is very accurate, especially accurate, and there are few more accurate three-pointers than him at the center position.

However, he can shoot two or three three-pointers in a game, the Lakers just focus on guarding the inside, a role player, not to mention that the Lakers don't believe that the Cavaliers dare to let him shoot more than a dozen or twenty balls, and the Cavaliers themselves don't dare!

And Channing Frye is easy to use in the regular season, easy to use when he abuses vegetables, and easy to use when the two teams are of equal strength, such as in the previous game against the Knicks, he contributed several three points when the score was anxious to help the Cavaliers occupy the advantage.

However, the Cavaliers ...... against the Lakers Pure headwinds do not bring hope of turning the tables, at this time, to create hope, you have to have Tristan Thompson who can fight and grab, and Channing Frye's soft egg play is useless!

And Tristan Thompson and Love are not good at dealing with Clarkson, to say that Love has a good single defense, but his help defense outside line is similar to a sieve, Mozgov and Tristan Thompson are the Cavaliers' defenders under the basket.

But both of them have a problem, that is, fitness, Tristan Thompson has not averaged more than 30 minutes per game in any season, his style of play is too hard, there is no way to be short and have to fight, and he is not the kind of physical man with a lot of muscles, playing 30 minutes is the limit.

Not to mention Mozgov, a 20-minute shield-shaped center in the regular season, and Bogut of the Warriors, but the core of the defense when competing with the opponent's main force is his task.

Now that it's a defensive sieve with Lefu and another defensive sieve Channing Frye, Clarkson plays like a superstar.

On the outside, there are Liu Ren and Korver, two three-point shooters who can get a beep, and the Cavaliers' James and Richard Jefferson dare not leave Liu Ren and Korver at all.

Della Vidova...... His defense is okay, but it's just okay, and it's still difficult to defend Clarkson, who averages nearly 20 points per game if he goes to the bad team to brush points, otherwise he wouldn't just be a substitute.

James worked hard and worked hard, but no matter how many points he scored, the Lakers could get it back in no time.
