Chapter 877

Tencent Live broadcast of this game, and the person responsible for commenting was Wang Meng and Yang Yi.

"Mr. Yang, the finals are here! Which one do you like this time?" Wang Meng showed the signature-like smile of Thomas and joked with Yang Yi.

Yang Yi smacked his lips and said, "It's hard to say, but I think from the perspective of the series, I'm more optimistic about the Thunder. Why do I say that? The Thunder's defense is better, and the Cavaliers' defense, everyone has seen this season's regular season, and it's really hard to describe it."

Wang Meng retorted: "But the playoffs began, when the Cavaliers' Big Three began to be serious, and when the full-strength James appeared, the Cavaliers' defense was not bad!"

Yang Yi disagreed: "The ice is not a day when it's frozen. The Cavaliers are not good at defense. Except for James and TT, who is good at defense? But on the Thunder, the Big Three are good at defense. Adams, Grant and Robertson, who are substitutes, are all very excellent defensive athletes. They have more resources to fight against LeBron and consume this 33-year-old. This is also why I am optimistic about the Thunder!"

Wang Meng smiled and said, "The last question is, who do you most like to get FMVP?"

"Thank you!" Yang Yi only said two words.

The starting lineup of both sides has been announced.

The starting lineup of the Thunder team, who plays at home, is: center - Duck Egg, power forward - Turk, small forward - Paulo, shooting guard - Xie Kai, and organizational defender - God Turtles.

The Turks fell out of rotation in the Western Conference Finals, but in the finals, when the opponent set up a large lineup, he had the ability to open up space and was valued by coach Donovan and returned to the starting lineup.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers who play away are: center - TT, power forward - Ai God, small forward - Old Beijing, shooting guard - JR, organization guard - 2 text.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is also very stable. To a certain extent, their lineup is somewhat similar to the Thunder. They are both defensive blue-collar centers on the frontcourt board + space type No. 4 + All-Star No. 3 + All-Star No. 1.

But the difference is that the Cavaliers' space type No. 4 Love is also one of the giants, while the Thunder's No. 2 is the giant.

Amid the cheers of fans at the scene, Duck Egg and TT were preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game was about to begin.

The jump ball began, and the duck egg took advantage of his height to easily transfer the ball to pickled pepper, and the game officially began.

Westbrook dribbled over and faced Irving.

Duck eggs come out to pick-and-roll, and the Cavaliers defend Westbrook and Duck eggs' pick-and-roll, using a strategy of delaying a big shot and a small one around the screen. It is obvious that Westbrook's 3-pointer threat is not that big, but the picture poses a big threat.

Yang Yi explained: "TT actually has strong defense switching capabilities. The reason why the Cavaliers don't do this is because they are worried that the inside linebacker will be forced to be taken by Adams."

Westbrook distributes the ball to the Turks who were lifted up.

The Turks held the ball in the horn position and handed over Xie Kai!

Love and JR attacked Xie Kai, and Xie Kai gave the ball to the Turks!

The Turks rushed in and shot in the empty space - but they made a thunderous iron!

TT protected the backcourt rebound and handed it over to James to push it.

Yang Yi said: "This ball opportunity has actually come out, but Ilyasova did not make a shot. The Cavaliers' strategy is to attack the core players of the Thunder and give role players certain open spaces."

The Cavaliers attacked, James faced Pickled Pepper, and with the help of TT's cover, he rushed to the inside and played the outside line!

Love's 3-point shot - it's iron!

Westbrook closed the board, held the ball and counterattacked, and quickly scored the peppers in the frontcourt, and passed it directly out of bounds...

The Cavaliers' tactics are simpler and more crude than the Warriors, which are double-core breakouts + giant singles. TT is responsible for defense, pick-and-roll and frontcourt boards, Love is responsible for opening open spaces, and occasionally waist-single singles. James is responsible for organizing, breakouts, and Irving is responsible for breakouts and one-on-one singles on the weak side.

Simplicity and rudeness do not mean that the effect is poor. In terms of the regular season alone, the offensive efficiency of this Cavaliers is at the historical level. Zhan Ou's personal ability is too strong, which fully supports this sudden division system.

The Cavaliers attacked, Irving played Westbrook weakly on the side, and made a quick stop jump shot and shot the board - there is!

The Cavaliers scored first when they played away!

Westbrook dribbled over and distributed it to Xie Kai.

Facing JR, Xie Kai called for the Turkish cover.

Love and JR continued to attack Xie Kai.

Xie took the ball to the Turks.

The Turk was released again, and he did not let the opportunity slip away this time, and shot 3 points - a steadily hit!

The Thunders took the lead 3:2 at the start! Xie Kai's first personal assist!

Wang Meng exclaimed: "Ilyasova's 3 points are really stable!"

Yang Yi said: "I feel embarrassed if I don't enter if the Knight is so let go."

The Cavaliers attacked, James made a mistake when he scored a JR, and it was directly reported from outside the bounds...

The Thunder fans in the stands cheered, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

The Thunder team attacked, Westbrook broke out!

Xie Kai caught the ball and broke again, and took a step past JR and entered the basket. TT here was completely covered by the duck egg, and he dunked directly!

5:2, the Thunder leads by 3 points!

Wang Meng sighed: "JR's defense is too easy to be passed. There is no need to grab this ball so far!"

Yang Yi said: "JR is like this. Sometimes defense is easy to use gambling steals. He has stopped this ball, but you are facing Xie Kai, the best athlete in the league. This kind of flaw will definitely be caught."

The Cavaliers attacked, and Irving missed the mid-range game against Westbrook alone!

The duck eggs were collected and handed over to Xie Kai to advance.

Xie Kai advanced and continued to pick-and-roll with the Turks. Obviously, this was their pre-match arrangement, just to target Love.

JR and Love's clamping down was quite fierce, but Xie Kai's shot faster.

Ilyasova broke through with the ball and made a layup to cause TT's foul!

Wang Meng sighed: "Why do the Cavaliers have to go to the pinch of Xie Kai? Many games have proved that pinch of Xie Kai and pinch of James are the same result!"

Yang Yi explained: "They are trying to protect Love. Xie Kai is not attacked. If you change defenses and let Love go to prevent Xie Kai, it will be torn apart. In fact, even if Xie Kai doesn't have a pick-and-roll, he will just eat JR alone, and JR can't stop it. This is why I am optimistic about the Thunder. The Cavaliers' offense may be comparable to the Warriors, but the defense is really far worse."

Fortunately, the Turks scored one of two free throws, which made the difference of only 4 points!

James made a strong breakthrough here, scoring a layup, 6:4, and the difference narrowed to 2 points!

James usually chooses to pass the ball at the beginning to mobilize his teammates' enthusiasm, and he will not take action until the team's offense is not smooth. Xie Kai is a bit like him. However, the difference is that Xie Kai has been holding the ball from the beginning of this game to find Love.
