In response to last season's playoff failure, this season's Cavaliers have made some minor adjustments to their tactical strategy.

In the 08-09 season, the Cavaliers followed the ultimate defense, conceding the lowest points per game in the league this season, and conceding 90 points per game.

They are averaging 100 points per game and can win by 10 points per game, and the Cavaliers have conceded just 78 points per game in the first two rounds of the playoffs before the Eastern Conference showdown.

Two 4:0 easily take away the opponent.

It's fair to say that under Mike Brown's tutelage, their defense has reached a very high level.

But on the offensive end, the Cavaliers are highly dependent on James, relying on James's quick counterattacks and breakthroughs and balls in positional battles.

Suffice it to say, the Cavaliers are a team built entirely around James' style of play.

Hoarding big Z on the inside, a tall guard like Vallejo who protects the basket, and a small guard who has three-point shooting ability on the outside.

James is a super-versatile oversize historic striker, and it's not so much that he single-handedly connects everyone else, but rather a group of people defending him and heading towards the throne.

It's a pity that Dongduan encountered Howard the Monster and the outside high-platform shooter of the Magic, and the old and weak of the inner line and the shortness of the outside line became fatal injuries.

And the 2009 Warcraft is the only player in the league who can compete with James in terms of physical fitness.

The alignment and tactical configuration of the two sides in this round of the series are pure Tianke, and the Cavaliers still lost without much suspense with the help of the league referees, and lost crisply.

You know, this Magic played seven games against the Celtics without Garnett in the semifinals.

If Garnett comes back......

This season, the Cavaliers have added Shaquille O'Neal on the inside, hoping that the old Superman can restrain the monster.

The outside team signed Anthony Parker in the hope of improving the team's outside height, but to be honest, the improvement was relatively limited.

Defensively, the Cavaliers have stopped pursuing extreme defense this season, and their pressing has slowed down.

Because the interior line, whether it is Valejo, Big Z or O'Neal, is unable to support the high-intensity defense of the whole court.

O'Neal, in particular, is a visible lack on the defensive end when he's on the court.

It's just that O'Neal still has residual power on the offensive end, which can enrich the team's low-post offense.

The Cavaliers' offense is more tacit and fluent, focusing on offensive efficiency, reducing three-point shooting and improving three-point shooting percentage.

They have a top-three shooting percentage in the league, and James' fast-break counter-attack is the best in the league.

When the Cavaliers couldn't open the situation in the opening positional battle, the fast-break counterattack led by James began to score points.

After scoring the first fast-break dunk, Curry had an idea in his mind that if he had stopped James' fast-break path just now, he would probably have been killed.

The play by play commentator at the scene also said: "James has the speed of a small guard, but he is the same size as Karl Malone, like a truck. ”

Curry continues to dominate to organize the Clippers' offense.

The Cavaliers' defense was single-handedly tweaked by Mike Brown, and it was a true pass from Spurs Popovich.

Rotate the defense closely, press the three-point line and the three-second zone, and once the defense is successful, James can immediately launch a defensive counterattack.

Curry relied on his teammates' cover to shuttle back and forth outside the three-point line with the ball, but couldn't find too many good opportunities.

It was still passed inside to Randolph, but the ball was destroyed by Hickson from behind.

Randolph and Hickson scrambled together, but Randolph still controlled the ball.

Passing back to the outside, Thorton takes the ball and breaks through the basket, and misses the defender's shot!

O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound, gave the ball to James, and the Cavaliers launched a counterattack again.

James broke through the middle with the ball and gave the ball to the wing Anthony Parker, and Anthony Parker made a layup!

The Cavaliers chased two more points, and once James took the ball and pushed the fast break, the opponent simply lost the other.

If you clamp James, James will share the ball, you defend alone, James can not stop it at all.

After chasing two balls in a row, Curry finally stepped up and returned the color, and he seized the gap in the middle to use the rhythm to break through the basket.

Facing the bulky and sluggish O'Neal, Curry made a quick stop and threw a shot, and the ball bounced off the board into the basket to score two points.

At 6:12, the offense on both sides was playing more and more smoothly, and the state was slowly playing out.

Min Congda looked at the defense of the Clippers and the offense of the Cavaliers, and thought that a team like the Cavaliers that relied on quick counterattacks must give up the scramble for rebounds in the front court and slow down the speed of the game.

Give up the frontcourt rebound, go all out to retreat, and stop James' footsteps from the guard line and not let him rush up.

As a heavy forward, once James starts at full speed, he can only foul if he wants to stop him.

So to interfere with his start, to interfere with the knight's pass.

"Just now O'Neal got the rebound, Randolph shouldn't have grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, but to grab the ball in O'Neal's hand and not let him get a comfortable pass. The others have to retreat quickly, and Curry has to take on the task of the first line of defense, but it's a pity that this kid is too thin. ”

Min quickly developed a strategy for counter-attacking the Cavaliers.

And this set of strategies, in fact, is similar to the strategy of the Boston Celtics, giving up frontcourt rebounds, interfering with a pass, and destroying a quick counterattack.

Of course, Celtic also have a trick, which is that their positional offense is very efficient.

Without pursuing a second attack, try to hit as soon as possible while slowing down the pace of the game.

And the Clippers can't build such a defensive strategy at the moment.

Another wave of the Cavaliers' comeback is coming.

The score of the two sides came to 10:14, and the Cavaliers were already chasing only 4 points away.

In the Clippers' offensive round, Curry broke through the middle with the ball, blocked and distributed the ball to Thorton on the wing.

Thorton received the ball and drugged a shot, trying to break through the basket with the ball, but James knocked the ball off!

James' defensive prowess is also outstanding, and he was second only to Howard in last season's Defensive Player of the Year awards.

James may not be in a good defensive position, but he has excellent physical counterparts, unmatched strength and agility.

Knocking the ball out of Thorton's hand, James picked it up and gave it to Mo Williams, and he started the NFL run-forward charge!

Williams only dribbled the ball a few times to advance, James had already rushed to the frontcourt, and Xiao Mo made a long pass to James.

Seeing that the ball was a violent dunk, and then the moment James received the ball, Curry stepped in and broke the ball!

"Good shot!"

Min Congda couldn't help but praise that Curry had predicted the right passing route with this ball.

Stuck early to cut the ball off, instead of using his body - he didn't have much body to use.

After the ball was broken, Curry made a long pass directly to the front court in the backcourt!

Gordon received the ball and was about to make a layup, but was cut off by Anthony Parker.

The two sides were in chaos on the field for a while, and the cameras followed back and forth.

James received the ball again, didn't waste the opportunity, and threw a high to the inside.

O'Neal has squeezed under the basket, and the air relay is double-handed and dunked!

Now Curry can't intercept it in advance, and if he intercepts it again, he will have to lose his life.

The two sides played a high-quality game in the first quarter, which made the fans on the sidelines addicted.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides frequently fast-break, steal, and impact the basket, and confronted.

James had three one-arm dunks in the first quarter.

And Curry even connected two people and made a difficult basket.

Both sides were on the right track, and the battle was 23-27, with the Clippers leading by four points.

Min Congda shook his head when he saw it, and said, "Blind beating, random beating, nonsense." ”

Grandma has passed away, and will do my best to keep it updated normally, so please forgive me if it is affected.
