Although everyone is optimistic about the Thunder, and the Thunder is indeed superior to the Cavaliers, Xie Kai still smells a sense of crisis. He organized an in-team meeting with Westbrook and veteran Collison to tell everyone not to underestimate the Cavaliers.

The hottest will die! There are no weak teams that can enter the finals. What's more, the Cavaliers have James. This team has strong offensive explosive power and must be taken seriously. This kind of accident of capsized ships must be minimized.

Although some Cavaliers players think Xie Kai and they are too cautious and seem to lack the domineering spirit of defending the champion, most people still agree with their concerns. Indeed, there was no match in the finals, and their strength on paper does not explain any problem. Everyone is on the same starting line, and the current big and small scores are 0:0!

After unifying his thoughts, Xie Kai believed that the probability of the team defending the title increased a little more. He didn't want to play cards badly because of carelessness, pride and conceitedness when holding good cards in his hand. Basketball is a team sport, not something he can decide alone, so he needs his teammates to form a joint force with him in the same rhythm so that the team can exert the maximum energy.

The Cavaliers really have nothing to lose. They are close to miracle when they can stand on the finals again. They are only ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, and they have no home advantage except the first round. Moreover, they played a tiebreak with the Pacers in the first round, forcing all-out James. The Raptors were inexplicably defeated and swept 0:4. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they played a tiebreak with the young Kaizi. It can be seen that the overall strength of this team is that. The offense is all better than before the trade, but they can still be in the middle, which is completely incomparable to a team like the Thunder, which has the best defensive efficiency in the playoffs.

If the Cavaliers want to win the championship, they can only hope that James will explode with the power of miracles again, which is their only hope for winning. Besides, they have no other hope. Should they expect Love, who has been out of trouble for so many years? Relying on Clarkson? Relying on Nance Jr. Or to expect TT, who was pressed by Khloe Kardashian all over the game?

On the evening of June 3, the NBA Finals G1, Ford Center Arena.

The scene was crowded with people and the crowd was packed. The K-Mi team led by Chen Guixiang was waiting on the scene early, waiting for their K-Mi.

For Thunder fans, the Cavaliers are weak and the probability of defending the title is extremely high. The team is only 4 games away from winning the championship.

Xie Kai was wearing a red sweatshirt today? He entered the home team locker room from the stadium passage? He smiled and greeted the staff at the stadium. He has always been modest and friendly. The staff at the Thunder home court liked him very much.

The reason why Xie Kai wore a red sweatshirt today was to make a "good start". It sounds a bit metaphysical, but having some fun in life is not bad!

While both sides were practicing, Xie Kai found Jeff Green, a teammate who was with the Grizzlies. Let’s talk about it together. Jeff Green and the Cavaliers signed a one-year basic salary last year, but they didn’t expect to become the team’s main rotation? In these playoff games, he often plays like a giant than Love.

Jeff Green is also produced by the Thunder, one of the earliest "Thunder Three Young Masters" at that time? His skills are very comprehensive and his physical fitness is very impressive. If it weren't for the team's main training of Durant that he missed the best training period, his career might not have been like this.

Of course there is nothing we can do about this. Durant is better than his talent? It is understandable that the team will train Durant first.

Tencent Live broadcast of this game? The person in charge of commentary was Wang Meng and Yang Yi.

Wang Meng smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, this season is coming to the finals again, which means that the season is coming to an end!"

Yang Yi said: "The season is coming to an end? Our work is coming to an end. Oh, I don't want to end!"

Wang Meng smiled and said, "Then I look forward to playing more games in the finals and let's explain more games!"

Yang Yi said: "Then we have to see if the two teams give you a chance."

The starting lineup of both sides was soon announced. The starting lineup of the Thunder team, which played at home, was the same as in previous games, including the Big Three + Duck Egg + Patterson.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers who played away are: center-TT, power forward-Love, small forward-James,

Scoring guard - JR Smith, organization guard - Jiao Zhixi.

Since they used a large lineup in the tiebreak with the Pacers, they have continued to this day. Cavaliers coach Perch is a very stubborn person. He is not old but very stubborn. He loves playing in a small lineup very much. Although Love is an inside player without the ability to protect the frame, he even asked him to play in the center. It's simply not to defend for the sake of offense.

What's even more ironic is that this guy was actually the Cavaliers' defensive assistant coach before...

Although this league is getting faster and faster, paying more and more attention to three-pointers and playing more and more magical, it has never been said that the team has never been able to become a defensive team without a frame protection. There is no team in the history of the league that can win the championship by being at the bottom of the defense. The Warriors play in the five-small lineup, but they have defense and frame protection. Durant M is actually the height of the center.

Love's past games have proven that he needs someone to wipe his butt on the defensive end, and it is best if someone wipes his inside and outside lines to protect him so that the team's defense will not be too ugly. When Irving was there before, the Cavaliers' defense was bad because there were colanders inside and outside lines. A pick-and-roll at the 1-4 position was targeted at you two colanders, and it was really accurate to play one shot at one.

Many teams often call Curry in pick-and-roll, but in fact Curry's defense is much better than Irving, but the other four players in the Warriors' five-square lineup are very strong in defense, while he is relatively weak in defense and is a defender, so he is often named.

The fans at the scene cheered loudly, and the starting players on both sides had to come on the court, and the game was about to begin.

Duck egg and TT prepare to jump the ball near the middle circle.

TT is actually only 206cm and his wingspan is not outstanding. When he first entered the league, he actually played as a power forward. However, small balls are popular now, and he has not shot and has excellent defense switching, so he played as a center forward.

The jump ball started, and the duck egg used his height to jump ball to win TT.

TT's frontcourt rebounds are excellent. He feels good at blocking positions and grabbing rebounds. He has a big butt to stick to the top, but he has a shortcoming. He needs to accumulate strength when he takes off, and his continuous jumping ability is actually average, and his wingspan is also average. Many times, he is watching him grabbing rebounds crazy, and the price is to sacrifice back to defense.
