The Cavaliers' tactical strategy for this game was exactly what Min Congda told James before the game.

Then James instructed Mike Brown at the team's pre-game preparation meeting.

Then Mike Brown laid out the course of the game as James told him.

To beat a team like the Clippers, who are currently at their peak, have high morale, and are still playing at home, they must be prepared in every way.

Mike Brown has the advantage of being a good coach with the players, very good at bringing out the best in young players, and creating a good team atmosphere.

And he was born in the Spurs, he is good at adjusting defense, and following Popovich, he learned a set of skills to build a defensive system.

When young Mike Brown took over the Cavaliers, he took the Cavaliers to the top of the East in a very short period of time and became a championship contender.

Of course, it is only a competitor, and the so-called strengths of a person are sometimes also his shortcomings, which is the dialectical nature of things.

Mike Brown has a good relationship with the players, and everyone treats him as a big brother and a friend, but it also means that Mike Brown will lack majesty as a conductor, and he will not have the temperament of shaking his face.

This leads to the fact that the coach's words will not be used at critical moments, and some people will not listen to the command.

There is also Mike Brown's defensive background, which attaches great importance to the construction of the defensive system, and the corresponding offense is not his forte.

The Cavaliers' offense is not lacking in tactics and has a system, but it is quite dependent on the individual ability of the players, mainly relying on James before, and now it is slightly better, relying on James and Irving.

Tactically relying on stars is not a problem in the NBA, especially if you have two very capable stars, who do you rely on without them?

The question is whether we can check and fill in the gaps, whether we can use good details to make up for the system, and improve the defects of the stars in terms of function.

It's a pity that Mike Brown is quite rough in this regard, and the system with James as the core, whether offensive or defensive, will always have significant holes, and the opponent will catch the goal and die.

Of course, it's not Mike Brown who is rough, it's their core James.

Regardless, Brown can raise a team's ceiling, but his ceiling isn't high.

If Min Congda could, he really wanted to go straight to the head coach of the Cavaliers.

Help his righteous son achieve more and defeat the Clippers at the same time.

With Min Congda's talent, coupled with the prestige he has accumulated over the years, and his relationship with James, he will definitely respond to the Cavaliers and immediately lead the team to a higher level.

Tonight, Min Congda relied on a strategy and an incentive for James to give the Cavaliers an advantage from the start.

Midway through the second quarter, James re-entered the game, and the Cavaliers played more and more smoothly.

James' individual skills are flawed, but his vision is as broad as his ability to pick teams.

Mike Miller, Battier, and Green hit back-to-back three-pointers from the outside.

James' passing is fast and accurate, and the passing is very well placed and comfortable.

Min Congda looked at James's pass and admired in his heart: "You said you, how good it is to be a comprehensive second master." All-round, comprehensive, your attacking ability at critical moments is also very good, with a ball-holding type, a fierce personality boss, concentrate on assisting, you will definitely be the strongest two leaders in history. ”

"Just like Abdul-Jabbar, his personality and technical characteristics, it's really good to be a second-in-command or an equal, and he insists on being the boss and winning the MVP, but he can't win the championship."

"It's a pity, before you enter the league, the media and Nike have given James a huge pressure on your achievements, the body of the maid, and the life of the young lady. The power of the minister, the heart of the emperor. Hey, this is the fate of impermanence. How can your life be as bitter as my Smart? ”

Thinking of James's misplaced life, Min Congda thought of himself for three years and three years, bankruptcy is still far away, and the championship is in hand.

System boss, if it goes on like this, it looks like it's going to be a succession, and if it goes down, it's going to be a dynasty!

No one could guess Min Congda's thoughts.

Unbeknownst to the Clippers players, their beloved Smart manager has begun to rush into the heat and become a traitor.

The Clippers were in average form tonight, and back-to-back wins left the players a little distracted.

Sometimes it's a long regular season, and defeat is a good sobering agent.

Min Congda also used this reason to tell James why he was willing to help the knights with ideas.

"It's time for the Clippers to lose, and always winning makes people lose sight of their shortcomings. Instead of losing to other teams, it's better to lose to you and the Cavaliers, right, LeBron? ”

At halftime, the Clippers were beaten 61-54 by the Cavaliers, trailing their opponents by seven points.

It was the first time this season that the Clippers had trailed at halftime.

At the same time, it was also the first time this season that the Clippers did not score more than 55 points in a half.

The Clippers exposed two problems in the half: first, the interior is still very important in the team's system and has a lot of influence on the outside; Second, the instability of the three-point shot was undoubtedly revealed in this game.

In the third quarter of the game, the Clippers quickly adjusted.

First of all, the shooting of three-pointers from the outside has been reduced, and Curry, Harden, George and others have begun to increase their penetration to the inside.

Second, the whole team paid more attention to protecting Anthony Davis on defense and tried to hide Curry and Harden as much as possible.

The defense of these two goods is not bad, but one is short and thin, the other is fat and lazy, and they are not masters of protection anyway.

As the first barrier of outside defense, the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, neither of them are excellent defensive players, so the pressure on the opponent's ball is definitely not enough.

At the same time, the defensive pressure on the number three position will increase significantly.

This is one of the few defensive weaknesses of the Clippers.

The Cavaliers continued to capitalize on that weakness in this quarter, launching a fierce attack on the Clippers' perimeter with Irving as the core.

No matter how much the Clippers try to protect, there will always be problems in the switch.

And once the switch to Anthony Davis, James and Irving will impact Davis.

Davis is still young after all, a rookie, where is the opponent of an old fritter like James.

Not long after the start of the third quarter, he was whistled for a foul on the defense.

After that, he was so timid that Marc Gasol had to carry the burden of protecting the basket alone.

At the same time, fans can also find that when Gasol and Davis are on the floor at the same time, the Clippers' offense is noticeably bloated and much slower, and it is not as agile and versatile as when Randolph was there.

Once Davis's deterrent power in defense is gone, his effectiveness on the court will be greatly reduced.

The young man is full of talent, but the Clippers still have a lot of work to do to make him fit into the team.

The morale of the Cavaliers is getting stronger and stronger, and the score has always maintained a advantage of about 8 points.

At the start of the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides was stretched to 11 points.

For the first time this season, a team has a double-digit lead over the Clippers.

However, just when the Cavaliers thought they had a chance to win, Curry and Harden suddenly teamed up to set off a wave of counter-attacks.

Curry hit two three-pointers in a row to cut the deficit to five points.

Harden broke through to make a foul and played 2+1 to win.

Then Harden made a mid-range strong shot in the face of James in a one-on-one misplaced heads-up!

The Clippers hit two points and the Clippers were just two points away, with one minute left at the end of the game.

It's entirely possible that the Clippers will rely on their ability to turn the tide of things completely by relying on their ability to play against the sky.

As a result, the Cavaliers came back from a timeout, James received the ball in the middle, went to the basket against the defense of three people, dodged and moved, and finally made a layup!

It also caused a foul on Gasol Jr.

As soon as the goal was scored, Min Congda couldn't sit still.

He was ecstatic in his heart, but he shouted: "Referee, are you blind!" You didn't see this ball walking! It's all rugby! The two holes under the eyebrows are out of breath! Shet... I'm popcorn tweed..."

There was no popcorn, and Min Congda stepped on the bench chair and was about to rush to the court to communicate with the referee, but was picked up by Milicic on the bench and put back in his seat.

Min Congda was still cursing on his lips, and James was already waiting for a free throw at the free throw line.

He thought to himself, "Mr. Smart, your acting skills are really superb, admire, admire." ”

Needless to say, after this game, Min Congda will be "punished".
