Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 876: [A little square, FMVP is not easy to ta
In order to win the championship, the Cavaliers buy horses, their total salary bursts, and they are not inferior to the sun. The depth of the Magic lineup is not worse than that of Guo Xu in the past. It is almost impossible to defeat the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers' biggest regret is that Szebiak's performance was disappointing. This season he can't even qualify as a role player.
After entering the playoffs, Szebiak averaged 12.8 minutes per game and could only get 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds. His three-point shooting was 16.7%. Fortunately, his big contract is only the last year, and the Cavaliers can free up more than 10 million salary space in the summer.
However, the Cavaliers still cannot introduce big names in the free market. After throwing away the big burden of Szebiak, their total salary will still exceed the salary cap.
Before the game, whether it is a basketball expert or an online fan, they are optimistic about the sun winning the championship.
No way, who doesn't like the sun? The Cavaliers won a game in three finals, and the pattern of being strong in the west and weak in the east is not maintained for a year or two. Due to a series of butterfly effects created by Guo Xu, since the Bulls won the championship in 1998, the Eastern team has never won a championship.
There are still many people questioning James's leadership temperament. He seems to be lost after a hard battle. His performances in the three finals were all bad. His shooting percentage was not as good as the team's second-ranked Boozer.
Only a few Cavaliers fans believe that James can lead the team to beat the Sun this time to win the championship, the reason is that his strength has improved a lot compared to last season. Since entering the playoffs, James has averaged 28.5 points, 8 rebounds and 7.2 assists, shooting 51% from the field and 33.3% from the field. He has averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game.
His shooting percentage hit a career high, with a large two-pointer 48.2%, a midrange distance shot 44.4% less, plus a 71% layup percentage, all aspects can be called a superstar.
James was interviewed very low-key and did not say anything like defeating his opponent.
Low-key is because he is under a lot of pressure, and he ca n’t afford to lose this year. If he loses again, he won the runner-up for the fourth time. This is to surpass the rhythm of Elgin Baylor!
Guo Xu said in an interview: "I have played in the finals 6 times before and I have never lost it. The finals have a 100% win rate. I said that if there is no confidence, would anyone believe it?"
He cares about another thing. After training, Stoudemire consulted with him and asked if he could give himself an FMVP.
Guo Xu agreed after thinking. Stoudemire joined the Sun's logistics and worked diligently as the second player. He didn't grab the ball and didn't make trouble. Even if he chose to jump out of the contract in 2010, the two had been together for 8 years.
If it were not for such a star inside, Guo Xu could not easily win 4 titles in the Suns.
For 8 years of cooperation, if his personal honor is Guo Xu, and Stoudemire has nothing, he will definitely be depressed.
Just like the two dynasties of the Bulls, the honor is all Jordan, will Pippen not be depressed? He wanted to prove himself when Jordan retired, so he only had the scene of the 1994 playoff strike, which was "the biggest stain in Pippen's career."
If James knows that the core research of the Sun is not about winning, but who takes the MVP, his pressure will be even greater.
On June 4, the finals started at the American Airlines Arena in Phoenix, with a schedule of 232.
In the finals, there is no room for loss. In order to better prepare for the game, Guo Xu let Daddario and Meghan bring the cat to the Los Angeles mansion after playing the Western Conference. He spent a week on energy and energy. God guarantees that it is at its best.
Guo Xu did not throw magnesium powder at home this year. This ceremonial opening is suitable for young people. He now prefers to stay calm on the court. To put it bluntly is facial paralysis, a look that doesn't care about anything is more exciting.
Suns start: Guo Xu, Morrow, Roy, Stardamer, Gasol Jr.
Roy is responsible for defending James on the perimeter. The shorter size may lead James to make more jumpers. The Sun will trap James near the penalty area and try to limit his breakthrough.
James's shooting has improved, but his biggest threat is always the breakthrough and the offense, so D'Antoni made Gasol Jr. start, he is the team's best center in the defensive zone. Stoudemire can also play better defense as a power forward, his size is not suitable for center.
Five Cavaliers: Mo Williams, Dronte West, James, Boozer, Valejo.
Valecho won the ball and the game began.
James took the ball in the middle, Roy took a step more distance, lowering the center of gravity and defending the breakthrough.
The Cavaliers pulled out two insiders and gave the defender teammates no-ball cover on both sides to help them create a running position to catch the ball out of the phone. Many knight tactics imitate the sun, and occasionally launch quick counterattacks. The essence of positional warfare is constant cover and empty cut.
It is very effective to play this way. When Gasol Jr. started, the inside speed of the Sun was not fast enough. West's catch on the left side attracted Gasol Jr. to change the defense and distributed the ball to the empty-cut Valejo, who squeezed Moro out of the layup. 0 to 2.
Stoudemire's ability to make up defenses was average, and Boozer was led out of the basket, which was an easy scoring.
When the Sun attacked, Guo Xu scored a ball for Roy, and he and Morrow also run through cover, the same as the Cavaliers' position.
Guo Xu catches the ball on the weak side and Mo Williams catches up. He has a heads-up opportunity without a strong hit and passes it to Stoudemire Stoudemire.
Stoudemire broke through, and Valejo kept his distance to keep up with the disturbance. Stoudemire's layup missed the rim. The rebound was snatched by Boozer who retreated and passed to West.
West launched a counterattack with the ball and gave 3 James a 3-pointer in the frontcourt. In the counterattack, James showed his superiority, relying on Roy to force a layup. 0 to 4.
When the Sun attacked, Guo Xu and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll in the middle. The weak side attracted a double-pointer to the middle. Stoudemire missed a three-pointer and missed a rebound. The rebound was far away and was picked up by Mo Williams.
After Guo Xu agreed to help brushing the data, Stoudemire was excited. As soon as he opened the game, he wanted to shoot more points, and his rhythm was a bit anxious.
In the Cavaliers position battle, James observes the organization in a hurry and is impatient, waiting for his teammates to run. West's left running position took the ball to break through, attracting the insider to change the defense and gave the ball to Valecho. Moro saw that Gasol turned slowly and couldn't return to the position. He pulled Valecho near the penalty area.
Valecho stood on the free throw line and the Suns fans gave him a boo.
CCTV 5 laughed reasonably: "Valejo is a player who goes out of the sun. He is familiar with the sun's routines. He quickly integrated into the team in the Cavaliers and helped the Cavaliers understand several typical tactics of the sun. I think fans should boo he."
Yu Jia said: "The Cavaliers imitated well. They won 1 game and 1 loss in the regular season and the Suns, and they did not lose."
Valecho made two free throws ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ than 6.
When the Sun attacked, Guo Xu and Stoudemire played the pick-and-roll and attracted Boozer to change the defense.
Stoudemire squeezed Mo Williams into the basket, and Valejo pulled back and shorted Gasol to block Stoudemire's way, personally interfering. Stoudemire turned to the right to take a shot, and missed the rim under interference.
Gasol Jr. cut into the left side and tried to grab a rebound in the frontcourt. Failing to take the ball, Valecho took the ball with one hand and drew it out. The rebound was grabbed by James and held in his arms to slow down the pace Down.
In the position battle, James first passed to Williams Mo, who was caught up by Guo Xu without a mobile phone meeting, and the ball was given to Valeccio on the left.
At this moment, Valejo was excited, his teammates gave him more passes, and before the game he was confident that he could play Stoudemire alone. His stature did have an advantage. He leaned back against Stoudemire twice, turned around and hooked his hands to avoid the cover. The movement was not very beautiful but the goal was scored. 0 to 8.
Stoudemire is a bit fancy, FMVP is not easy to take.
