The Cavaliers fans were not desperate, nor were their players. In the eyes of the players, although the Thunder defeated the Warriors, this Thunder was not perfect and could still be defeated. Otherwise, they should have qualified from the West with a total of 12 wins.

But not being desperate does not mean that you will be optimistic. Now that you are lagging behind 0:2, and losing another game is the bottomless abyss. If you still want to stay on the stage of the finals, you must win the finals G3!

Cavaliers coach Tyron Lu is thinking about changing the formation. He can't do nothing, otherwise he will only take the blame for the team's defeat. But if he changes the formation and it won't work, he can also say that the strength of the two teams is different. I have tried my best, I am just a coach, so I can't play on the game instead of the players, right?

Of course, even as a player, Bass is just a role player. He has a ring, which is what he got in Los Angeles' thighs. What impressed him most was the classic scene that was beaten by AI in the 2001 finals... If he really came on the court, the effect might not be as good as that of Lao Delong, who had a sharp decline in form.

On June 8, Quick Loan Center Stadium.

The championship flag with the words "2016" hung above the stadium, which is the first championship trophy this team has won since its founding. It is also the first championship champion in the city of Cleveland in 50 years! This is a cursed city, and this championship is indeed hard-won.

Xie Kai will not give up the chance of winning the championship just because the championship is hard-won. This is competitive sports, not a house, and people who have no belief in winning should not step into this cruel Shura field.

The Cavaliers' home atmosphere is quite good. After all, it is a champion team and has entered the finals for many years. Cleveland is just a small city, with the central heavy industrial city declining, and even cities like Detroit are no longer as glory as before, let alone Cleveland.

If you want to compare, Cleveland should be equivalent to Panzhihua in western China. A declining industrial city like silver cannot retain talents. Compared with a big city like Shanghai (New York), the gap is very big.

The Cavaliers are lucky. Although the city they are in is not attractive, they dribble with good lottery draws! Especially the number one pick is awesome. If it weren't for choosing James in 2003, if it weren't for winning Irving in succession, Bennett and Wiggins, the Cavaliers wouldn't have any help to compete for the championship even if James came back.

Now, if you want to win the championship by one person, no one can do it.

There have always been ancient times saying that the league is soft now, and Xie Kai would have a little laughing when he used to be one person and one city. If the Bulls hadn't given Jordan 30 million a year, if he hadn't found Rodman Pippen for him, would he see if he would leave?

In this game, the Cavaliers finally made a change of formation! They took TT and Richard Jefferson, and completely played the ball. In this way, only Love left in the inside line, and the overall height also dropped.

Of course, the Cavaliers do this for offense. TT's role on the court is not only for grabbing the frontcourt rebounds, but also for some covers. He can't switch defenses. It's better than Love, and it's not much better. But with him on the offensive end, it's basically the same as 4-to-5. His ability to eat cakes is far worse than that on the opposite side. He can't eat cakes on the court, and he can't open up space on the offensive end. He makes the team's offense easily fall into a stagnation.

But the main problem of the Cavaliers doing this is on the defensive end. Who will protect the frame in the interior? Does Love? Love's efficiency in protecting the frame is not as good as James and Jefferson. He prefers to collect backcourt rebounds rather than blocking shots. Of course, he can't block the shots either.

Once this starting lineup was announced, experts on the Internet immediately said that Tyron Lu was crazy.

"Does Cleveland not have rebounds and defense?", "Are you really going to let LeBron play center?", "God, Kevin Love plays center, he will be destroyed by Steven Adams."

Of course, there are also those who support Tyron Lu's transformation, some say he is bold, some say he is courageous, and anyway, there are all things to say.

The Thunder team responded to changes in the same situation and continued to let Duck Egg and the Turks start together.

At the beginning of the game, after the Cavaliers went down in TT, the offensive space became extremely wide. Love and Jefferson were both standing outside the 3-point line, with a pick-and-roll, and Zhan Ou broke in, and there were opportunities inside.

The Thunder's strategy to start the game was to shrink and give Love a certain chance, but he didn't expect Love to be so powerful. He scored two of his three-point "Bangbang" and instantly stopped his opponent.

The Thunder's timeout changed their minds, and Duck Egg also saved, but James started to kill in, winning in a row to score in the basket.

The Cavaliers blossomed inside and outside the game and quickly took the lead. On the defensive end, they narrowed the penalty area, bet on the Thunder's 3-pointer missed, and then closed the rebound and made a conversion.

The Thunders started with a 3-pointer and did not punish their opponents well. In addition, the duck eggs retreated slowly, and their fast attack defense was not good.

The Thunder quickly made adjustments. They decisively took down the duck egg, replaced it with Gibson, and began to adjust the lineup. On the offensive end, they began to play pick-and-roll against Love, forcing the opponent to make a choice.

The Cavaliers' strategy has always been to attack the ball holder, put pressure on the line, force the Thunder to make mistakes, and then counterattack.

Westbrook and Xie took the pick-and-roll to instigate, transfer the ball, Gibson went down or mid-range, pickled peppers for 3 points or steal chickens at the basket, and the Turks were waiting for opportunities outside the 3-point line on the weak side.

The Thunder's offense was played out, and the score was not further widened.

The Cavaliers' defense is indeed not good. Even if Jefferson comes on and forms a two-forward assisting defense line with James, they still cannot protect the basket well. The Thunder's impact on the basket is too strong, and there is a threat of shooting from the outside, which makes them dare not shrink too much.

With TT not here, James has become the team's best frame guard and defender. He consumed a lot of physical strength on the defensive end and did not dare to exert force too early on the offensive end.

Irving was still troubled by pincer attacks. He was in trouble with fouls in the first quarter of this game. Westbrook repeatedly injured him, causing him to be replaced by his teammate Deron early.

In the connection section, Xie Kai took over the one-on-one challenge, forcing the opponent to attack, and then led the face to form an offense. On the defensive end, they still defended James alone, luring him to fight one-on-one and consuming his physical fitness.
