Chapter 587

Leaving aside the comparison and analysis of the combat effectiveness of the two teams by various outside experts, the two teams are also actively preparing for the upcoming finals.

Time soon came to the first game of the Finals. The Lakers players were very active in the locker room at home. Although Clarkson and other young people who had never played in the Finals seemed a little bit Nervous, but in the tension is more excited, quite a feeling of gearing up.This is undoubtedly good news for the Lakers. If their group of rookies who have not played in the finals can play their due strength, then it should not be difficult for the Lakers to win the game.

On the other side of the Cavaliers' locker room, they were all surrounded by Lao Zhan. Listening to Lao Zhan's final mobilization, all their players seemed calmer. After all, this was not the case for most of them. It's the first time in the Finals, and almost all of the lineup that won the championship last year has been retained. If the Lakers' young people's impatience and lack of experience can be grasped during the game, then the Cavaliers will have a chance to win.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers seemed to have given up on the idea of ​​making Randall a starter. After all, his performance in the playoffs was much worse than Clarkson, who was also a rookie. Therefore, in Walton Jr.'s plan, his team status has also declined, but this does not mean that Walton Jr. will abandon him. Although his playing time in the playoffs has declined, every After the game, there are still more than 20 minutes of playing time, but in the starting lineup, Walton Jr. prefers to use Hibbert to cooperate with Ye Xuan and Solomon Hill to play an advantage at the beginning.

The referee threw the ball high. Although Hibbert won almost all the scrums in the game against the Warriors, it was because the opponent's inside line was also a tonnage-type inside line, and the inside line had very good jumping ability. Poor, that's why he was able to win the jump ball many times, but when facing Tristan Thompson, his jumping ability seemed a bit insufficient. Thompson easily patted the ball to James, and then ran towards the frontcourt go.

After Lao Zhan received the basketball, he dribbled a few steps forward, and then passed the ball to Irving. Generally speaking, the first ball in the opening game is played by the star player, but Lao Zhan obviously planned to let Owen play the ball at the beginning of the game. First look for his feeling, he feels that as long as Irving is in good form today, then there is no problem in winning this game.

Owen received the ball, facing Ye Xuan's defense, he was actually quite embarrassed, but he couldn't be timid before the fight, so even though he felt that Ye Xuan's defensive strength made him a little uncomfortable, he still didn't pass the ball back Instead, he chose to call the pick-and-roll. After finishing the pick-and-roll with Tristan Thompson, Irving quickly broke through to the inside of the Lakers. Ye Xuan naturally followed up immediately. Although Tristan Thompson blocked it, Ye Xuan still kept up with Irving smoothly, but when Ye Xuan was about to put further pressure on Owen, he suddenly bumped into the second wall. When he looked up, it was Love. The Cavaliers wanted to let Owen get a shot The opportunity directly allowed the two inside players to help him perform a pick-and-roll, and finally succeeded in letting him get rid of Ye Xuan's defense. Facing Hibbert's supplementary defense, Owen was not in a hurry and used a European step to pass the ball. Score a backhand layup.

After hitting the ball, Irving and Lao Zhan obviously let out a sigh of relief. After all, hitting the ball shows that their tactics are no problem. Now they just need to play well on the court.After the Lakers served in the backcourt, Ye Xuan naturally wanted to return the ball to the opponent immediately after being hit by the opponent, so after he took the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately ordered his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to play singles.

Facing the defense of his old teammate George Hill, Ye Xuan was unceremonious, directly changed direction two times in a row, and then suddenly accelerated and forcibly broke through to the opponent's inside line. George Hill barely kept up, but Ye Xuan did not Not affected by his defense, after leaning on George Hill and breaking through two steps inward, Ye Xuan made a sudden stop, and then easily threw the ball and hit the ball. George Hill had no time to brake when he chased back. He could only watch Ye Xuan hit the ball.

At this time, the advantage of the home court is revealed. When Irving hit the ball just now, the scene was quiet, but after Ye Xuan hit the ball, there was a burst of cheers at the scene, and the Lakers fans at home also burst into cheers. Very experienced, after all, they have entered the finals the second most times, and they are also the team that has won the second most championships.

The Cavaliers were not disturbed by the atmosphere of the scene. After serving the ball in the backcourt, they still chose to play steadily. After Hill controlled the basketball and came to the frontcourt, he immediately passed the ball to Irving. Irving called for a pick-and-roll again, but this time Irving failed to find a chance to break through. After trying it, he immediately passed the ball back to James. Old James also chose to let his teammates pull away and play singles when facing Solomon Hill's defense.Moreover, Lao Zhan's singles seemed even more unreasonable. There was no change of direction, no emergency stop, just pure body crushing. , but it is a pity that this shot was not able to hit, and the rebound was accepted by Hibbert.

Ye Xuan seized the opportunity and immediately wanted to start a fast break. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers retreated very quickly. Ye Xuan did not find an opportunity for a fast break. He could only slow down the rhythm and reorganize the attack.After the teammates were all in position, Ye Xuan called Hibbert to help with the pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, the two pulled apart immediately, and the Cavaliers were forced to switch defenses. Now Ye Xuan singled out Tristan Thompson. Saying that Tristan Thompson's footsteps can't keep up with Ye Xuan, let's say that his current state is very weak. This season TT played the worst season of his career. After all, he was blocked by the best defensive player. The state of the man Dai Shan defended on the court can only be described as sleepwalking, and his state also made Lao Zhan, who helped him get a big contract, very angry. Unfortunately, things have already happened, and he has nothing to do.

Ye Xuan played TT in singles, naturally it was very easy, an acceleration after a change of direction directly passed the opponent, and the Cavaliers had some loopholes in defense, so no one came to double-team or make up for the defense, which directly made Ye Xuan easy The breakthrough to the inside line was successful.

Lao Zhan on the side was also a little irritable seeing this. Although the game had just started and the team did not fall behind by too many points, Tristan Thompson's defensive attitude really annoyed him, so while waiting for TT to serve from the baseline, While opening his mouth to reprimand him a few words.

After receiving the serve from the backcourt, Lao Zhan controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, still allowing his teammates to pull away. Lao Zhan did not miss again this round and continued to hit the inside. This time he used more force than the previous round. Solomon - Hill couldn't keep up with the impact of Lao Zhan, and was thrown away directly, while Hibbert, who guarded the inside line and went to make up defense, still failed to protect the Lakers' inside line, and could only watch Lao Zhan change in the air. Hit the ball for a layup.

The game continued, and the Lakers still let Ye Xuan hold the ball, but this time Ye Xuan didn't plan to play alone anymore, but chose to pass the ball to Wade, and let Wade hit Irving. Although Irving's offensive ability is very is excellent, but his defense is relatively average, so if Wade can find an offensive opportunity on Irving, then this game will be much easier for the Lakers.

Facing the team led by his old friend again, Wade also had mixed feelings. This was not an ordinary match in the regular season. This time they played against each other in the finals, although it meant that the two At least one of them can add another championship, but it also means that one of them can only end in failure this year. Although he has a lot of feelings in his heart, Wade has not relaxed his kung fu at all. After the ball, Wade suddenly pulled to the side, and then used Gasol's pick-and-roll to break through directly to the inside. The Cavaliers made another mistake in the substitution. Failed to keep up with Wade, Wade went into the penalty area to face Tristan Thompson's defense, and sent the ball into the basket with a European step very sophisticatedly. Action, otherwise Wade might be able to cheat a 2+1.

This is the third time in a row that the Lakers have scored in the key parts of the Cavaliers. This shows that the Cavaliers' inside defense is very bad. This is not good news for the Cavaliers, but looking back, the same, The Cavaliers also immediately scored another two points near the Lakers' penalty area. This time, it was George Hill's off-ball run. After successfully getting rid of Wade's marking, he received a wonderful pass from James for a layup.

In fact, the two teams are not particularly satisfied with their internal defense, but the coaches of the two teams did not call a timeout to rearrange the defensive tactics, nor did they make personnel adjustments. The main reason for this is that their offense did not have any problems. .

Although the Cavaliers did not call a timeout, but after being hit by the Lakers three times in a row, they also started to shrink a little bit inside, so that it would be more difficult for the Lakers to break through. up.But this just gave Ye Xuan a chance to gain shooting space from the outside. After controlling the ball to the front court, Ye Xuan directly chose to break through. After attracting double teams, Ye Xuan distributed the ball to the open space. In Sol's hands, Gasol made a direct three-point shot. Unfortunately, as a power forward, Gasol's shots outside the three-point line were not so stable, and the shot ended in a hit.

Lao Zhan accepted the backcourt rebound, and the Cavaliers breathed a sigh of relief. If the opponent has been able to achieve results on the offensive end, then this game will be very difficult. Now Gasol's three-pointer gave them A chance to breathe, this is also a chance for them to counterattack. After Lao Zhan grabbed the backcourt rebound, he immediately started to kill the Lakers in the half court. At this time, Ye Xuan was relatively late because he broke through and scored the ball just now. , and Gasol caught the ball near the bottom corner and shot a three-pointer, so the defense must be very slow. As a result, this directly gave the Cavaliers a chance to play more in the frontcourt. After the front court, he broke through two steps directly to the inside, and then after attracting Hibbert's defense, a low hand sent the ball from Hibbert's waist to Tristan Thompson behind him. Although TT was not in good condition Good, but there's nothing wrong with dunking an empty basket.

TT dunked successfully. At this time, the old Gasol ran back, and he could only come back and serve the bottom line.At this time, the Cavaliers tasted the sweetness. They decisively continued to shrink the defensive line when the Lakers had not yet opened their perimeter. The Lakers were also a little unsatisfactory today. Ye Xuan's breakthrough found Solomon Hill, Solomon -Hill adjusted and immediately pulled up a three-pointer, but Solomon Hill's shot also ended in iron under the interference of James who rushed to defend.

In turn, the Cavaliers made another quick counterattack. Fortunately, this time Irving was unable to seize the opportunity of this counterattack. In the end, a layup was missed under the interference of Wade. Gasol also steadily protected the rebound. down.

His teammates wasted Ye Xuan's pass twice in a row, so Ye Xuan didn't plan to continue passing the ball this round, but chose to force himself to play again. After the ball came to the frontcourt, Ye Xuan immediately called Hibbert Helping with the pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll this time, Ye Xuan didn't break through to the inside. Instead, he took a step back and pulled up to make a three-pointer. This time, there was some gambling in it, but fortunately, Ye Xuan was lucky. He has always been good, and his self-confidence has also improved his hit rate, so this shot was also a successful hit.

After being hit by a three-pointer by Ye Xuan, the Cavaliers' wishful thinking couldn't work out. They could only honestly expand out to defend. Although they still didn't fully expand out, they were at least close to these two points of Ye Xuan. Need to be more careful.

At this time, the Cavaliers suddenly called a timeout. Coach Tai Nenglu directly chose to call a timeout at this time. I didn't think much about it, but after the timeout ended, the Cavaliers' lineup did not change. On the contrary, the Lakers replaced Hibbert with Randall, and the timeout of coach Tai Nenglu also changed direction. Help the Lakers call out.
