With a score of 1:1, the Cavaliers returned to their home court, but in the third game at home, the Cavaliers still failed to defeat the Warriors, losing the third Finals series 113-118, and the total score came to 1-2.

In this game, Thompson scored 31 points, Durant 28 points, and Curry 29 points.

The Cavaliers James scored 38 points, Wang Feng 33 points, and Irving 26 points, but Love played abnormally, scoring only 6 points on 1-of-9 shooting.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse!

The Cavaliers, who have fallen behind 1:2, can't lose the fourth game anyway, otherwise they will return to the Warriors' home court with a score of 1:3, even Wang Feng can't guarantee that he can complete a 1:3 Jedi comeback like the Cavaliers in another time and space 16 years.

The main problem the Cavaliers are facing right now is the difference in the bench lineups, and the second is the inability to completely limit the scoring of the Warriors' three outside scorers, which is the same for both sides.

Wang Feng can effectively curb Durant's scoring efficiency in a one-on-one situation, but once Durant and Curry cooperate to cover and block, Wang Feng can't do anything, whether it is facing Irving or JR. Smith with the ball, or even against James, Durant can maintain a fairly efficient scoring efficiency.

"Since I can't prevent you...... Then simply don't take precautions! ”

Wang Feng gritted his teeth, and once again took the initiative to find Tyron, who was helpless about the current situation. Lou.

"Coach, in the fourth game, let me come off the bench."

Tyron. Lu was stunned.

"You're going to play as a substitute?"

In these three games of the finals, Wang Feng's performance was quite good, and it can even be said that it completely exceeded his expectations.

He averaged 29.6 points per game in three games, second only to James in scoring, while shooting 52% from the field, which is one of the main scoring points that the Cavaliers rely on the most.

It would be too wasteful to let Wang Feng play as a substitute.

"I'm not talking about pure substitutions, but like Manu. A pseudo-substitute like Ginobili. Wang Feng said seriously: "The previous three games have proved that even if I start the game to mark Durant, the effect is not very good, he can average 30+ points per game, in this case, there is no need for me to stare at Durant, it is the same result for others to defend." ”

"But if I come off the bench, I can make up for the shortcomings of the team's bench time, and with the scoring ability of James and Irving, even when I'm not on the court, the team's offense won't be too inferior to the opponent."

"This ......" Taryn. Lew hesitated.

Although Wang Feng has some truth in what he said, such a tactical arrangement, it is still very risky to not see the result and just guess.

What if Wang Feng doesn't play well off the bench? What if Durant is not restrained by Wang Feng and scores 50+ points in a single game?

At present, the Cavaliers have no way out, and they rashly make such a big adjustment, once something goes wrong, he, the head coach, will bear the responsibility for the failure of the game!

"Coach, I'm not sure if we can win the game like this, but if we continue to play according to the original tactics and arrangements, we will definitely not be able to win against the Warriors!"

“…… Well, I'll think about it carefully and talk to LeBron about a result. ”

……

In the NBA, 1+1 is not necessarily equal to 2, which is a problem that Wang Feng found in the three games of the Finals.

Originally, according to his ideas, the Big Four lineup of himself + James + Irving + Love is stronger than the lineup of Curry + Thompson + Durant + Green of the Warriors, especially Wang Feng, who has strengthened his offensive shooting ability to the top level of the league today, is almost comparable to Curry or Durant.

James is definitely better than these two MVP-level players, and Irving is better than Thompson, Wang Feng thinks Irving is better.

As for Green and Love......

Even before the crossing, Wang Feng never felt that Green was a strong player, just because he happened to be selected by the Warriors to play in the Warriors...... Don't mention it, or because he doesn't have enough offensive ability to host the ball on his own, he can't cut into the inside line to eat cake because of his height, so he can only control the ball and stand at the top arc position and pretend that he is organizing the game.

In this comparison, the Cavaliers' Big Four is clearly stronger than the Warriors' Big Four, and even strong enough to make up for the gap on the bench.

However, this is not the case.

Just like the three series of finals, the situation was somewhat unexpected by Wang Feng.

The main reason is that Owen and Lefou's performance is much worse than Wang Feng imagined.

Irving averaged 23 points per game in three games and shot 42.9 percent from the field.

However, in Wang Feng's impression, in the 17 finals of the Riding Yong, Irving averaged 29.4 points per game in 5 games, and the shooting rate was maintained at 47.2%, second only to James and Durant, and better than Curry.

Love was even worse, scoring 14 points, 21 points and 6 points in these three finals, averaging 13.6 points per game, and shooting less than 40%.

Same time period, same level of fitness, but both of them were affected.

The reason Wang Feng can think of is only himself.

Although Wang Feng, who averaged 29.6 points per game, was very efficient, such a high score still occupied a lot of ball and shots, which were all deducted from Irving and Lefou.

Irving and Love are not Curry and Thompson who can play without the ball, both of them are players who need the ball to play at a high level, especially the former, who has reduced the ball when James has a lot of balls, and now there is another Wang Feng, which is naturally affected.

Irving has complained about this many times in the middle of the season, and even found the head coach and general manager, but no one supports Irving, not even James.

The reason is very simple, your efficiency is far inferior to Wang Feng, why let Wang Feng give the ball to you?

But now, the team has stepped on the edge of the cliff with half a foot, Wang Feng must take the initiative to make sacrifices, no matter how gorgeous the personal data is, once the Cavaliers lose the finals, it will be meaningless.

In order to win the gold self-selected badge rewarded by the system after winning the championship, Wang Feng can accept a temporary change in positioning.

On June 9, 2017, Game 4 of the Finals was still at the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Before the game, the two sides announced today's starting list, and many people were stunned when they looked at the list.

"The Cavaliers have changed formations? Am I not mistaken? In this game, the Cavaliers actually put Wang Feng on the bench? ”
