Chapter 965

Even fools can see that the Cavaliers' offense is unsustainable. TT is difficult to eat cakes now, and he can only take action at the basket. In addition, because he is combined with Kardashian, he has put lead in his legs, so he needs to accumulate strength and jump, and now the accumulation time has become longer.

Duck eggs are holding the ball at the basket, and it is difficult for TT to score. What's more serious is that TT can't hold the ball at the moment, and it's becoming more and more similar to former teammate Mozgov.

The Cavaliers fans were bleeding. The little prince of the frontcourt who played 82 games and averaged more than 40 minutes per game in the playoffs, turned into this ghost. Others say that "heroes are sad to pass the beauty", but what kind of beauty is Kohler? If it weren't for the title of "Kardashian Family", wouldn't he catch a lot of nightclubs like this?

The Thunder played very easily because the Cavaliers' defensive aggression is not strong and their offensive routines are single, so they are not tired to defend.

James played very positively in the first quarter and scored a lot, but when he saw the score, the team was still behind. He had to start offensive mode in advance because the opponent did not double-team him. Apart from him, neither Jiao Zhixi nor Lefu had any good scoring ability.

When the first quarter was halfway through, the Thunder took the lead in personnel adjustments. Xie Kai and Paulo came out, and Robertson and Grant came on the court. After entering the Western Conference Finals, Abrines gradually lost the rotation position. Before the game, it was revealed that Kanter would enter the rotation in this game.

The Cavaliers are also transferring players. James went down to rest, and the team pointed at him to lead the second lineup! Former Thunder player Jeff Green, who played well in the Eastern Conference playoffs, came on the court and replaced James.

After James left the court, the team's main game became Love. On the Thunder, Westbrook was playing with four role players.

Speaking of which, Westbrook and Love are teammates in UCLA. They and Xie Kai are both rookies in the 2008 and have trained together in the offseason before.

Love is a good person, a good teammate, a humble person, and has certain strength. But his strength is definitely not worth the maximum salary.

However, if the Cavaliers don't give Love the maximum salary and they leave, they will be in vain. Cleveland is not New York and Los Angeles, and there are almost no superstars willing to come here. Love is the first All-Star to the Cavaliers to come. Although they have technical flaws, they can work diligently and sacrifice themselves, which is OK, and they won a championship. If they hadn't encountered a team like the Thunder, they might have 1-2 more championships.

James stopped the Cavaliers' offense when he stopped. When Irving was not leaving, there were two teams that could change the opponent's defensive formation, so their breakthrough tactics and one-star shooting were useful. Now Irving is far away from Boston? After James left the court, there was no one who changed the opponent's defensive formation like this. Jeff Great Green had comprehensive skills and outstanding physical fitness, but he was not the kind of star who could average more than 25 points per game.

Love actually needs someone to feed the ball? He struggled to hit Patterson one-on-one, but the opponent hit him with one-on-one. There were many mistakes.

The Thunder team is the stage where they have the lowest offensive efficiency, but fortunately they can defend themselves, so they just need to get through. The opponent can't get points? The defense is awkward? It doesn't seem that their offense is poor.

The Thunder have always been leading? At the end of the first quarter? Xie Kai and Paulo came up to lead the second lineup, while the Cavaliers came up to lead the second lineup.

The second lineup of the Thunder is Xie Kai, Paulo, Robertson, Grant and Kante. After being abandoned in the West Finals, he did not expect the finals to be activated again, which is indeed incredible. But it is normal. Not all teams have persisted to the five-squad lineup like the Warriors.

The second lineup of the Cavaliers is James, Jeff Green, Nance Jr., Korver and Jordan Clarkson.

Nans Jr. and Clarkson were both sent to the Cavaliers in the deal Thomas Jr., and the Lakers are going to rebuild. It is obvious that these two are not in the team's long-term plan.

Sometimes there are troubles when rebuilding the team. For example, if a player with a lower pick comes out, will you renew the contract when the contract expires? If you renew the contract, you will not want to be at the high price, and the people will leave when the price is low. But if you stay, your salary space may not be able to attract big fish in the free market. So it is a good choice to sell when their market conditions are good and get draft picks and expiration contracts.

Clarkson is a second round pick, and he has achieved this. But his potential is not much left. The most suitable player for such a player is to score points in the second lineup and disrupt the battle.

As for Nance, he participated in this season's slam dunk contest and was the son of Larry Nance, the champion of the first quarter of the NBA dunk contest. He has a strong physical fitness and often contributes exciting slam dunks. His height of 206cm has good movement and can be used as the center of a small lineup.

However, Xiao Nans did not have a stable shooting on the offensive end. He was better than TT because he was younger and had not been hollowed out yet. He had a stronger ability to eat cake on the offensive end. But his shooting was only slightly better than TT, not so good that people dared not let him go. On the defensive end, he was not as good as TT's smaller player, and his frontcourt rebounds were not as good as TT. He was actually a blue-collar worker, and the upper limit was a high-end blue-collar worker.

If the Cavaliers want to rely on Nance and Clarkson, then they should take a shower and go to bed. These two are not enough to make the team's strength change in essence.

The Cavaliers have TT starting and the substitute Nance, so the Thunder can play big centers on the court. The big centers are not to score points, but to protect the basket, and are mainly reserved for James.

James' attack was too fierce, and there was no meat shield center at the basket, so he couldn't stop it at all when he rushed forward.

The Cavaliers are not afraid of Kante being beaten down. If they are beaten down, the duck egg can come up. Even if the duck egg is beaten down, the veteran Collison sitting below can come up. They are really beaten down, and James is tired. This is another form of wheel battle.

Clarkson had no momentum to go crazy when facing Xie Kai. Facing the league's top outside defender, his three axes could not beat him at all. And Korver was also entangled by Robertson.

The Cavaliers still have to rely on James' attack. He wants to lead his teammates, but the Thunder just defended him alone, even if he had scored 13 points in the first quarter.

James was sweating all over, he was very tired, but everyone was relying on him, and he had no other choice.
