Chapter 927
The Cavaliers' lineup is an obvious "center-free lineup". Although the league is currently popular to play "one big and four small", and even the Warriors are playing five small lines, they usually play a center forward in the starting lineup. A lineup like the Cavaliers is indeed very rare. The advantage of this lineup is that there is unlimited attack space, and everyone on the field can shoot 3 points. But there is no need to say more about the flaws. Without a center, you will not have a frame protection. Power forwards like Love have extremely poor frame protection ability. No one wipes his butt, and the inside line exists like an ATM.
Wang Meng sighed: "The average height of this lineup of the Cavaliers is short enough!"
Yang Yi said: "On ordinary people really can't understand Coach Lu's idea. If you let Love play center, you really don't want the defense. Even if you played in a large lineup before and Tristan, the Cavaliers' defense was not much better. Now it's better, even TT, put Love in the center position and play the offense completely. The Warriors are playing in a small lineup, but the defense is not lost."
The main players of both sides briefly hugged each other, and Love and Duck Egg jumped around the center circle, and the game was about to begin.
When the ball jump started, Love didn't jump at all, and let the duck eggs dial the ball to his teammates. In fact, even if he jumped, the jump was not better than the duck eggs. There was a significant difference in height and wingspan between the two, so it still seemed a little higher if he didn't jump.
The Thunder won the first offensive ball rights and the game began.
Westbrook dribbled over, and the defense of him was Thomas, who had already made a comeback.
Thomas Jr. reached the peak of his career at the Celtics, but for the playoffs, he was injured until his butt. Not only did he lose a big contract, he was also traded by the team, becoming a victim of Angie's cunning Fox Revival team's great cause.
Anji is a very cold-blooded person. When he was still playing for the Celtics, he suggested that the team trade the Big Bird, which has entered the late stage of his career. This guy only values interests, feelings, and doesn't care at all. This is very similar to him, Riley.
Riley can make a team like Wade leave. For them, as long as it succeeds, the old mother in the family can sell it.
Westbrook was pick-and-rolling with the duck egg at the top of the arc? Facing the opponent's attack, he distributed the ball to the duck egg that was pulled down.
Duck egg catches the ball, and the opponent is slow to defend? He dunks directly!
Wang Meng: "The Cavaliers' defense? Why did a pass be penetrated?"
Yang Yi smiled and said nothing.
Thomas Jr. dribbled over? He and Love faced delays after pick-and-roll and tried to break through? But his speed was a little too fast. He could only pass the ball to James on the other side.
James holds the ball on the right wing? Spread the ball to Love on the weak side!
Love's 3-point shot - short!
Xie Kai closed the board? He pushed forward himself, faced JR, an unfast acceleration, grabbed the ball under his crotch and started it? Cut into the inside line, faced with Claude's assisted defense, and directly took 2 points with a layup!
Wang Meng sighed: "The Cavaliers don't have a frame protection!"
Yang Yi added: "Because there is no inside height? Do you have no height? Don't defend? James also looks a little unhappy, so of course he can't count on this inside defense."
The Cavaliers attacked, Thomas Jr. ate duck eggs in a misplaced position, and stepped back and jumped to the frontline!
Westbrook closed the board, converted, and followed up with points.
Xie Kai then split the pickled peppers on the other side!
Picky peppers chase after 3 points - there is!
7:0? The Thunder made all three shots at the beginning and their offensive form was very good!
The Cavaliers are suspended!
The Cavaliers fans in the Quick Loan Center Arena were a little depressed. The team was beaten by the opponent at the beginning, like an NBDL team, and seemed to be unable to defend against the opponent at all.
Coach Lu seemed a little confused. His confused expression had actually been spread on the Internet. Netizens joked that he had no tactics at all and had no goods in his stomach. Just like his teacher He Wenwen, as long as he cooked chicken soup, he had only one tactic - give the ball to James!
Xie Kai doesn't think Lu is really that bad. Of course, he is not without tactics, but relatively speaking, as a coach from a player, he has specialties in handling the relationship between players. As for on-the-spot reaction, he may be a little slower. In terms of technical and tactics, there is a little gap between academic coaches like Stevenson of Kaizi and Donovan of the Thunder.
Yang Yi said: "The Cavaliers' defense is not supported by hardware conditions and has no strength. Such defense cannot be restricted against teams of the Thunder. However, they do not intend to defend against each other. Their lineup is to attack. As long as they can attack against the opponent, there will be a chance."
The timeout is back and the game continues.
Thomas Jr. dribbled over and distributed it to James.
James faced Pickled Pepper and Love's pick-and-roll, and Love's extra line!
Love scored 3 points - there is!
The Cavaliers scored!
7:3, the 3-pointer score is indeed first-class. Three 2 points are 6 points, and two 3 points are also 6 points.
On the Thunder, Patterson missed 3 points!
Love took the backcourt rebound and James pushed forward.
James switched to the basket and made a layup!
7:5, the score difference was chased to 2 points!
Wang Meng smiled and said, "The Knight is really fast in chasing points!"
Yang Yi said: "The attack in the Cavaliers lineup is fine, it is defense. Love has been outside the 3-point line. If Adams doesn't save, he will keep shooting three points."
Westbrook dribbled over and distributed the pickled peppers that were out of his pocket.
Pauli beat James and distributed it to Xie Kai from the other side.
Xie Kai held the ball and faced JR. With the help of Duck Egg's unball cover, he took the ball and walked on the line. Suddenly, he hit the ground and accurately gave Duck Egg under the basket!
Duck egg succeeded in one-handed dunk!
9:5, I had a great time eating duck eggs today!
The Cavaliers attacked, Thomas Jr. made a big layup and a high board - no!
Patterson closed the board and gave it to Westbrook to advance.
The Thunder team attacked, Xie Kai was fouled by JR near the right bottom line!
Wang Meng said: "Thomas's injury has not healed yet. Judging from the position where he exerted force, it seems that the injury on his hip has a great impact on him."
Yang Yi joked: "You are so similar to him, you can play for him a few games and let him take a good rest!"
Wang Meng smiled and said, "Then the next person who gets injured should be me! I can't guard against Westbrook, this guy is too strong!"
Westbrook dribbled over, faced Thomas' single defense, and directly arched his back and then turned over and jumped into the ball - there is!
11:5, the Thunder's offensive efficiency is still extremely high.
Yang Yi sighed: "Tomas Little is really inspiring, but after all, the basketball ends, and talent determines the upper limit. Westbrook 191, Thomas Little 175, one head taller than you, just shoot on your head, you really have no way to do it."
The Cavaliers attacked, James suddenly scored a corner JR. The latter faced Xie Kai's defense and shot with a shot - irrelevant, and directly shot across the bridge...
The Cavaliers fans at the scene couldn't help but booed, and this ball was missing the shooting level!
