Chapter 513 Change of Dynasty
For this year's finals, everyone is more or less disappointed.Especially knights!Of course, no one blamed them.After all, everyone knows their abilities well.Moreover, before the finals, people are more optimistic about the Raptors and Celtics.Who ever thought that James performed too well!Hardly eliminated these two teams.
Speaking of which, those teams in the Eastern Conference have really been pressing hard these years.Heat, Cavaliers, James' team has dominated for nearly ten years!During this period, there were not many relatively strong teams that emerged in the East, but they were all fragmented in the end.There are also those amazingly talented stars who still have no hope of rushing out of the East.
However, after this season, everything will be different.It can be seen from this season that the Eastern Conference is no longer able to overwhelm everything with this team of Cavaliers.They were able to beat the Celtics this year. James' performance is certainly a very critical factor, but the Celtics' own factors are the main ones.In the Eastern Conference Finals, they lost two All-Star players!Although Irving's performance in Boston did not meet people's expectations, he was eventually reimbursed due to injury.Hayward was reimbursed for the season after only playing a few minutes.But these two are still All-Stars after all.Once Hayward and Irving recover from their injuries, under Stevenson's training, they will have a good run-in with these young people. The Celtics are really limitless.
This year, it is definitely the last performance of this Cavaliers team in the finals.Their lineup is no problem for the playoffs, but that's all.More importantly, they have little chance to change.Except for James and Love, the other players really have no trade value.Players like TT and JR who have made great contributions to the Cavaliers' championship have all received big contracts.Now these people are no longer in the state, and the original big contract has become a burden that the Cavaliers cannot shake off.
Of course, for the Cavaliers, these players' problems are not the most serious.The most serious thing is that James has only the last year left on his contract!And this year, James has player options.This means that as long as James is willing, he can jump out of the contract this summer and become a completely free player.The Cavaliers definitely want to keep James.Whether it's for the team's combat effectiveness or the value of the Cavaliers brand, James deserves the highest contract they can give.However, the Cavaliers' management is now very worried.Because James and his team did not reach an agreement with the Cavaliers on the contract.
"It's too early to talk about these things. I have to focus on the current game. Everyone knows that the form is not friendly to us. But the finals is not a two-game game, it is a series, we still have Chance."
When James was asked this pointed question after the game, he didn't reveal anything.However, almost everyone feels that James will leave the Cavaliers.In fact, this matter is no longer a secret!James has the idea of leaving Cleveland, everyone knows!
Of course, as James himself said, it is still too early to discuss this matter.Right now, what everyone is most concerned about is not the ownership of this year's championship.Most people don't think the Cavaliers still have a chance.All they care about is whether the Cavaliers can win one of those games when the game returns to Cleveland.Can James avoid another sweep of his career in the Finals.
Of course, countless Cavaliers fans still have something to look forward to!They expect James to change his fate like the Eastern Conference finals!
But James has run out of ammunition and food!He won the Eastern Conference championship and still went all out in the finals.The result was 0:2 behind.Although the Cavaliers also fell behind 0:2 in the Eastern Conference Finals to achieve a comeback.But now it's the Finals, and the Cavaliers' opponent is the Thunder, not the Celtics.
James in the first game of the finals is a bit like James in Game 2012 of the 52 Eastern Conference Finals.With a murderous look, he wanted to fight the next game when most people were not optimistic about the Cavaliers.His performance is also impeccable. With 8 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, there have been only 50 finals with 1993+ points in NBA history. After Jordan in [-], only James has achieved it.
However, the Cavaliers lost the game.After the game, a reporter asked Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue if it was possible for James to score 60+ in the second game.He replied: "I guess he will. I mean, it's hard, but every time the team suffers a loss, he will step up, get into a fast attacking rhythm in the next game, and set the tone for the game. We need him to do that. In the Finals against a team like the Thunder, we need to start the game with the initiative."
Although Tyronn Lue is often criticized for commanding blindly without tactics, as the coach who has led the team to the finals for three consecutive years, he knows very well how to beat the Thunder in terms of the current lineup configuration of the Cavaliers.But what's a little ridiculous is that there is only one method he can think of now, and that is James' explosive explosion, if 50+ is not enough, he will rush to 60+ to kill.
Very helpless, but very real.However, 60+ is not something you can just take.In NBA history, there is only one time in the finals with 60+ points. Lakers star Elgin Baylor scored 1962 points in Game 61 of the 60 Finals.In other words, under the intensity of the finals, the probability of 60+ is extremely low, especially in today's fast-paced and high-consumption game mode, and the opponent is a team of the level of the Thunder. 50+ is hard to beat, 1+ They are all at the level of No.[-] after Jordan.
The Cavaliers are desperate to find someone who can help James.So in the second game, Tyronn Lue and James still managed to make some adjustments.James adopted the method of driving his teammates first.He was looking for his teammates in the first quarter, creating opportunities for his teammates.But the Cavaliers lost worse than the first game. They kept the hope of winning for a long time in the last quarter of the first game, and the second game entered garbage time in the fourth quarter.
Score 50+, lose; quasi triple-double, still lose.The Cavaliers still haven't found a way to wrest victory from the Thunder.James has achieved the ultimate, but it doesn't help the trend of the game.
No matter how reluctant Cavaliers fans are, they must accept the fact that it is time for a change of dynasty.In fact, when the Warriors beat them three years ago, the Cavaliers were already a thing of the past.But James led his brothers to forcibly continue a wave of lives.Now, a team stronger than the Warriors has emerged.
