Chapter 233 The Road to Throne ([-])
War is imminent!
"These are two similar teams. Neither of them has won a championship. They are both working hard for the lofty honor of the NBA and want to reach the top of the world this year, but they are very different. Whether it is There is a big difference in their style of play, configuration, and even the strength comparison between the two sides."
"But no matter what, this will be a game full of suspense. Gao Tian, who is known as the strongest rookie in NBA history, met LeBron James, the champion of the golden generation. The direct confrontation between the two made this finals a lot of uncertainty. Sex, because they are the kind of players who can change the situation of the team, what kind of sparks will they collide with?"
Stoudemire, who was jumping the ball, was very excited by the cheers of the home fans. Gao Tian watched him quickly enter the frontcourt after overpowering Big Z to jump the ball. Tactics, while James' eyes were fixed on Gao Tian, almost all of his attention was on Gao Tian.
Looking at James' serious eyes, Gao Tian originally wanted to say a few words to tease James, but thinking of the cheating system just now, Gao Tian couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and he was too lazy to speak. Watching Nash walk to the top of the arc, Gao Tian quickly A back run throws off James and sinks to the basket in one step. With the help of Stoudemire's cover, he completely throws off James and then receives a pass from Nash outside the right-wing three-point line.
At this time, Daniel Gibson of the Cavaliers saw Gao Tian easily go beyond the three-point line to receive the ball No one can let go of an open shot that can average more than five three-pointers per game with a 42% shooting rate in the playoffs!
At least you have to interfere, otherwise let Gao Tian conduct open three-point shooting training and they will give a fart and just surrender.
After two steps in front of Gao Tian, he was overjoyed to see that Gao Tian didn't make a three-pointer. Although he was a little puzzled why Gao Tian didn't make a three-pointer in this open space for nearly a second, he didn't have time to think about it. No, he only knew that he was successful in defending this time!
Before his endorphins could react, he suddenly saw James who was late in a hurry beside him, and his heart skipped a beat. Before he could rush to interfere with Gao Tian, he saw Gao Tian slam the ball in his hand vigorously. Throwing to the inside, Gibson and James saw Dior with the flying ball.
After receiving the ball, Dior was unhurried, pretending to lay up and tricking the big Z who was guarding the basket alone, and then made an extremely exquisite back pass to Stoudemire who had been waiting for a long time on the other side. Stoudemire was already hungry and thirsty After receiving the ball and looking at the empty basket in front of him, he jumped up with both feet, forming a C shape in the air, and poured the ball into the basket hard!
The painful cries from the basket, the sharp cries from the fans, and Mike Brown’s exasperated cries echoed in the frenzied American West Arena. James and all the Cavaliers looked at the huge Stoudemire hung on the rim It was silent, they all knew they had been fooled.
The Suns deliberately exposed Gao Tian's shooting intentions to attract them, and created opportunities for inside players. Compared with outside players shooting three-pointers against the defense, inside players obviously had a higher shooting percentage when there was no defense at the basket.
But what can their knights do?
Gao Tian must be on guard, but the inside line cannot be so empty. They must find a balance between the two. Although this balance is difficult to find, they must find it, or they will die!
After all, they are far inferior to the Suns in terms of offense alone. If they don't defend, they can compete with the Suns in offense?
Although the Suns' defense is sloppy, they are not without defense. At that time, they only need to squeeze players inside to force the Cavaliers' outside players to take shots. Then the Cavaliers can only watch them being killed by the Sun's fast break counterattack.
Therefore, Mike Brown's request is that everyone on the team except James should shoot closer to the basket, otherwise, the ball's landing point is not easy to control at all, only closer to the basket. Even if the ball does not score, they can rely on the height advantage of the inside to fight for the basket. Whether it is a second offense or passing to the outside to reorganize the offense, it is a good choice.
Mike Brown couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief after watching the big Z's footsteps under the basket in the singles hook and Stoudemire. It's not terrible to be unable to guard against the opponent. It doesn't take long for the difference to be widened to a desperate point.
As Popovich's former assistant coach, Mike Brown is a good defensive coach, but he is best at inside defense. He emphasizes defense through teamwork rather than relying on individual players' defense. His tactics are completely the mainstream of this era, and there is nothing wrong with them.
But it is very sad to meet a player like Gao Tian, because their defensive tactics will always give outside players some opportunities when flanking. These fleeting opportunities may not be a problem for others, and there are very few in the league. Some people can catch the 36-pointer with a guaranteed hit rate in less than a second, but what is scary about the Suns is that their three-pointer from the outside is the worst. The hit rate is even more heartbreaking 42%, who dares to let it go?
Since it is impossible to kill all the outside lines of the Suns at the same time, we can only use the principle of priority to solve this problem. Mike Brown did not hesitate to make the same choice as his mentor, which is to give opportunities to the inside lines of the Suns as much as possible. , They almost never double-team Stoudemire, as long as Stoudemire is given a chance, they will never double-team!
Go ahead, if you can beat us to death, you are considered powerful, and we will be convinced.
Mike Brown was exhausted with the Suns like this. James chased Gao Tian all over the court, but he didn't give Gao Tian a chance to catch the ball. Opportunity.
This tactic is working well. Although the Suns are still scoring continuously, most of the points are scored by Stoudemire's singles inside. This is what Mike Brown wants to see, and the biggest sacrifice of the Cavaliers is James. From controlling the overall situation The brain commander turned into a man-to-man defender who has been running around the court with Gao Tian, but he didn't have a single complaint. This is what the team needs.
All sacrifices for the championship are worthwhile. This is the best opportunity for the Cavaliers in recent decades. They cannot lose this good opportunity and wait until the next opportunity comes.
Both sides are testing, using their bait to constantly test the opponent's tricks to see if they have anything to hide. Although they probably don't have anything, their habits make them subconsciously make the most appropriate decision.
