The Eastern Championship and the Western Championship, these are the two strongest teams in the league, in theory.

In fact, this statement is not true, it should be said that the strongest team in the East VS the strongest team in the West.

However, because the situation of the West is strong and the East is too obvious in recent years, many people are calling on the NBA to change the playoff model, not to divide the East and West, and directly the top 16 of the league's 30 teams, so that the two strongest teams in the league will stay in the end.

In recent years, except for the Green Shirts, who have risen strongly for a year, the other championships are in the West, and the Spurs swept the Cavaliers 4:0 in 07, and the Warriors also swept the Magic 4:0 last year, all of which won the championship with an absolute advantage, and the finals have lost the fun.

Just like this year, despite the media's strong saying that the Cavaliers have O'Neal and James has Jamison, how restrained the Warriors, everyone knows that the final championship is still the Warriors.

Even if the Cavaliers are the regular season champions.

This can be seen in the second half of the first quarter, when the Warriors launched a counterattack, the Cavaliers quickly lost the opening strength, and the Warriors used their sharp offense and indestructible defense to destroy the confidence of Cavaliers fans again and again.

From 14-6 at the beginning, by the end of the first quarter, the score had become 31-22, with the visiting Warriors in front.

Barkley shook his head and muttered, "Too bad, this is the MVP?" It took them just four minutes to score 14 points, and then O'Neal went off the court with eight minutes left to score a total of eight points? Damn, who can sue me, it's really the finals? ”

Kenny Smith was also frustrated, saying: "Yes, it's no fun to play like this, the Warriors have an absolute advantage, Chamberlain is a pillar on the inside, the Cavaliers are like goblins challenging giants, this kind of game is not fair." ”

Marne Jackson corrected: "No, Z hasn't started to get in on yet, the first quarter was the Warriors firing in full swing, and lo and behold, the top scorer so far was Delonte West, Mad Dog had eight points, and Iverson had seven points on his account. ”

In the second quarter, Brown had no choice, he had to replace O'Neal, and after the Cavaliers had no advantage on the inside, Chamberlain could rest assured that the defensive focus was on the outside, what does this mean? As long as James breaks through, he will be trapped, assisted, and supplemented by Chamberlain!

Someone on the inside must draw Chamberlain's attention, and someone on the outside must put three points to keep the pressure on, so as to have enough deterrence for the Warriors.

After sitting on the bench for eight minutes in the first quarter, O'Neal's buttocks were about to have hemorrhoids, and after he came on the court, he stared at the Warriors players with fierce eyes, and said arrogantly: "Boys, the first center is on the court!" ”

West stood on the edge of the court and said with a smile: "Yes, the first center is on the court, but isn't the first center standing on the court all the time?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Chamberlain, who was discussing tactics with Curry, who had landed off the bench, and Curry nodded solemnly, his eyes fixed on Gibson, who was his opponent.

The Cavaliers got the opening ball, so the first shot of the second quarter was the Warriors.

Curry took on the responsibility of organizing the guard, and the elder Nelson was also talking about his cultivation in this area, his rhythmic dribbling through the half, facing Gibson's defense, not to break through, but to advance decently, with a smart eye to put pressure on the opponent.

NBA-level masters can bring pressure all over the body, and the eyes of the guards can say a lot of things, and the guards and defenders must pay attention to the eyes of the other party.

Chamberlain stayed outside the three-point line, apparently to cover Curry, and the Cavaliers players thought of the scene before the opening when the two stood together to discuss tactics, and naturally thought that Chamberlain was going to block and pick and roll with Curry.

Jamison stepped back and pulled out the reaction distance to prevent Curry's breakaway from disrupting the defense.

As a result, Curry, who was running in small steps, did not break through, but opened his hand to pass the ball to Chamberlain.

Outside the three-point line, Chamberlain caught the ball sideways, and then he quickly turned around, bent his knees and stomped on the ground with both feet, like an eagle attacking, throwing his hands and shooting!

Jamison was dumbfounded, is this a joke? You don't play inside attack, but you play three-pointers?

The Cavaliers were caught off guard and looked back at the hoop to grab a rebound, only to see a ball that had landed in the hoop.

The basketball fell, the snow-white nets flipped over, and the fans vaguely saw the white waves of San Francisco Bay.

Chamberlain smiled and shook his head and ran back, Curry high-fived him, exclaiming, "Well done, I put my three-point shooting bag on the ball, and it looks like you're using it well." ”

The Cavaliers' offense was also fierce, they rushed to the front court with murderous spirits, and O'Neal sank into the position on the inside, and he fell out of position without any effort.

In this way, the big shark was inevitably surprised, and he looked back at Evans, who smiled innocently, seemed to know what he was thinking, and said, "It's okay, Shaq, I'm going to foul no matter how you shoot, so I don't have to waste time fighting you for a position." ”

These words almost stunned O'Neal, and it was clear that Evans was completely shameless.

Chamberlain moved along the sideline of the free-throw area, and he always had a distance of two or three steps from Jamison, so that he could defend Jamison at the first time and also make up for the breakaway James.

The little emperor was a little melancholy, he broke through two steps with the ball, Barnes couldn't carry him, and was violently knocked away by him, but the Warriors changed defenses quickly, Barnes was knocked away and went straight to Jamison, and Chamberlain made up for it.

In this way, O'Neal on the inside became the best option, James passed the ball to the sharks, who gritted his teeth and turned, anyway, Evans was going to foul, he got the ball and threw it quickly, and then was ready to be fouled.

He was going to bet on a 2+1.

As a result, no one stopped him after the ball was shot, but a figure rose into the air like a flying dragon, roaring with a big hand, and pressed on the ball fiercely, which was directly a big hat!

"Best Defensive Player, Evans!" The Warriors fans screamed.

O'Neal almost blew up his lungs, what the hell is a bunch of hooligans, think he entered the league in 92 years, has been in the NBA for almost 20 years, and has been fighting geese all day long, and today he actually let the geese peck his eyes!

Aircraft carriers were flipped in the gutter.

However, the Warriors didn't give him time to get angry, they bullied O'Neal's huge body to move slowly, roaring and rushing to the frontcourt, gritting their teeth and coming up with the fastest offensive speed.

Especially Chamberlain, it was like a gust of wind, his speed was two notches faster than O'Neal, and after rushing to the frontcourt, Curry passed the ball to him, James had to go up to block it, and Chamberlain leaned over like an attacking bull and hit the little emperor.

The little emperor who used his strong body to bully others all year round, but this time he encountered Waterloo, and when Chamberlain hit him, he felt that he was run over by a truck, and he was knocked away with a muffled snort.

Bumped into James, while O'Neal was still just past the halfway line, Chamberlain roared and launched a long-distance run, took the middle lane, and smashed the Yellow Dragon!

Striding into the forbidden area, Chamberlain is a violent buckle, this time it is a real double buckle, no elegant, no elegance, is a ferocious!

The Warriors defensively are 1-4 defense, and all four people, including Chamberlain, are laying out the defense on the outside, so that even if James has the ability to penetrate the sky, he has to kneel and lick.

Such defensive tactics overwhelmed the Cavaliers, because in the past season, no team dared to deal with them like this, one-on-one inside, even if it was a big shark in the twilight years, it could eat the opponent to a bone!

In front of O'Neal's continuous attacks were fruitless, James couldn't stand it, the score was already behind by double digits, and this was only the second quarter, James, who has always flaunted his selflessness, began to prepare for his own strong attack.

The Cavaliers made a couple of quick passes, Jamison provided cover on the left wing of the three-point line, James ran to shake off Barnes, and then with the help of Mo, he got the ball under the cover of two and stepped on the line at the top of the three-point line arc for a long shot.

"Whew", hit.

Seeing this scene, inside TNT, Smith's eyes lit up and said: "It seems that Brown is not in vain, he finally made a suitable tactical deployment, although this is a rotten individual combat tactic used by the Lakers." ”

Mark Jackson also analyzed: "Not only the Lakers in the past, but also the Magic in the Maddy era, the Wizards in the Arenas era, and the Raptors in Carter's time will use this two-man defensive offensive tactic to rely on excellent shooting from the outside to score." ”

"Yes, this tactic has a very unique advantage in the local area, you can rely on the two people to cover the position, resulting in a situation where the local number is superior, and then the ball carrier dribbles here, looking for opportunities to score." Smith smiled and said, "If the opponent is also heavily armed here, the opponent can immediately spread left and right, find the opponent's gap to score, or just specify one or two pitchers to specific positions, and after attracting the enemy, immediately pass the ball over and play a three-point strategy." ”

Jackson agreed with Smith's analysis, but when he turned his head to find that Barkley didn't speak, he asked curiously, "Charles, what's wrong with you, do you have a thorn in your tongue?" How can you not speak? ”

Barkley put a weird smile on his face and said, "You should know that this tactic was set up by the Pacers for Reggie Miller's bastard, right?" ”

Smith thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Indeed, this tactic is set up for Miller, what's wrong?" ”

Barkley said: "It's very simple, the Pacers have a sharpshooter like Miller, and they can't win the championship with such tactics, so how can the Cavaliers beat the Warriors without ****** sharpshooter?" ”

In fact, the Cavaliers are not without sharpshooters, Gibson's long-range shooting skills are very powerful, but in front of Curry, a more powerful three-point expert, his long-range shooting has little deterrent.

The person who knows how to beat a three-pointer is still a three-point shooter.

The Cavaliers hit and the Warriors countered, and after a few reversals, the ball fell to Chamberlain again.

Where does Jamison dare to let go this time? Decisively clinging to it, O'Neal jumped in the penalty area, he couldn't wait to have a tough battle with Chamberlain, but the other party didn't give him a chance, just floated on the outside, but Chamberlain's mid-range shooting ability was still very strong, so he could only use Jamison to defend him.

Chamberlain never took Jamison seriously, he couldn't guard Jamison last season, it was because he didn't pay attention to the Wizards, and now it's the Finals, how can it be the same?

What's more, no matter what time, Jamison can't guard against Chamberlain.

When Jamison came close, Chamberlain staggered his steps, then pulled his left shoulder and followed the left oblique, and the sole of his right foot rubbed against the floor with a 'crunch' sound, and the right hand holding the ball had dribbled to the left side in an instant.

Twisting the wrong step, Chamberlain took a stride past Jamison and strode to the inside.

In fact, Jamison is very depressed now, he is also an old bird in the NBA, when Chamberlain's steps were staggered, he understood the opponent's intentions, and judged the direction of Chamberlain's breakthrough.

But Chamberlain's speed was too fast, the moment he took that step was like lightning and thunder, not like a center, but a defender!

That's the scariest thing about Chamberlain, he was called a seven-foot-tall assassin, and experts unanimously decided that if he was willing to play at back, he could also become a superstar.

After breaking through Jamison, Chamberlain's attack was just beginning, and he looked directly at O'Neal under the basket and rushed forward like an arrow from a string.

O'Neill let out a muffled roar, like an angry giant ape, and he even threw his fist in the chest, and then stepped to the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Chamberlain rushed forward at a gallop, slapping the ball skillfully and quickly in his hand, rushing all the way in, facing O'Neill's huge body, his face showed a crazy look, he stepped into the penalty area, and then slammed his shoulders forward, and hit O'Neill.

O'Neill was never afraid of this kind of tough battle, he was angry and ready to defend, but as a result, Chamberlain then twisted his ankle and spun around O'Neill like a windmill as if he was about to break through.

The big shark was taken aback, and hurriedly lifted his feet to move sideways to block it, so that his sinking center of gravity moved.

And at this point, Chamberlain turned again, another windmill tour, and he turned back the way he came, so that he was not facing O'Neill's front, but on the flanks.

After turning back, Chamberlain's muscles were clumped up like a steel giant, and then he stepped on the floor with both feet to provide power, leaned sideways to the hoop, and slammed O'Neal into the hoop with a bang.

Buckle!
