Under such high-intensity defense, James' performance is about the same as Curry's.
In the first quarter, Curry made 1 of 6 shots and James made 3 of 10 shots. But the difference is that in addition to Curry, the Warriors also have Clay Thompson who can score. The Cavaliers lack James' stable scoring.
No one can stand up anymore!
In the first quarter of the game, the score between the two teams was 25:18, and the Cavaliers could not score more than 20 points in a single quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, James felt slightly better, mainly because he changed his style of play, frequently relying on his teammates to hit the basket on pick-and-rolls, and relying on his ruthless strength to attack the frame, constantly causing defensive fouls by Warriors players.
Although Wang Feng's defensive shock badge can effectively reduce a player's shooting percentage, it is powerless against dunks and free throws after fouls.
In this quarter of the game, James made 6 of 8 shots and scored 16 points in the quarter including free throws. He is worthy of being the top player in the league. He can quickly adjust his style of play and state even when faced with strict defense.
However, this is just drinking poison to quench thirst.
Frequently forcing attacks on the frame consumes a lot of physical energy! In addition, James played almost the entire first and second quarters of the game. Every offensive round had to face the Warriors' strict defense and Wang Feng's coverage.
Join the defense!
By the third quarter of the game, James was exhausted and no longer had the strength to hit the basket. The offense could only rely on mid-to-long-range shots.
But this also involves Wang Feng’s strength! Peripheral defense!
Wang Feng did not hesitate at all and decisively applied to play to defend James.
At this time, James is no longer able to use his strength to force a breakthrough. Wang Feng himself is fully qualified for the outside defensive work!
Although this is a bit unviable, how can there be so much fairness in the adult world when the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy?
Purple Hall of Fame level defensive shock! Gold All-Star level death coil!
The two defensive badges are fully activated at this time!
Under Wang Feng's strict defense, James' scoring efficiency began to plummet!
2 of 10 shots in the third quarter! 2 of 8 shots in the fourth quarter!
How can the Cavaliers win the game when James is completely guarded?
99:94!
The Warriors successfully won the second game!
James scored a game-high 41 points, but his shooting percentage was less than 30%, which was extremely inefficient.
Apart from James, only two players on the Cavaliers scored in double figures, namely Mozgov's 16 points and J.R. Smith's 13 points.
James can hardly sing alone, but the Warriors are blooming more.
Curry faced Dellavedova's strict defense throughout the game and performed poorly. He only scored 15 points on 5 of 23 shots. But Thompson stepped forward and scored 29 points with a 50% shooting rate!
Wang Feng also performed somewhat in this game, scoring 15 points on 5 of 8 three-pointers!
The Cavaliers had too few substitute players, which led to physical problems in the second half. Even if they knew they had to guard Wang Feng's three-pointers from the corner, it was difficult to keep up with Wang Feng, who was full of energy. He ran out several times.
Open scoring.
After two games in the series, the big score between the two teams is already 2:0.
Even the most die-hard James fans can't help but become pessimistic at this time. They can only hope that the Cavaliers can perform better when they return to their home court in Cleveland.
However, it turns out that such an idea is just an expectation.
On June 9, the third game of the series begins.
The Cavaliers, who were sitting at home, did not have the divine help that the fans expected. All the players had great shooting skills.
In this game, James is still the only one who can score stably, and under the turns of several Warriors defensive players, the shooting rate can only be maintained at about 40%!
Regarding the third game of the Finals between the Warriors and Cavaliers, Wang Feng was deeply impressed.
Due to Dellavedova's excellent defense against Curry in the last game, he successfully gained the trust of the coach. In this game, he gained a lot of shots. In the end, he made 7 of 17 shots and scored 20 points, becoming a good helper beside James.
.
Of course, this was just a flash in the pan. In the following games, Dellavedova's shooting percentage was always only about 30% in front of the Warriors who strengthened their defense.
Since Wang Feng knows this, how can he turn a blind eye to Dellavedova in this game? If Dellavedova is ignored, this guy can score 60+ points with James in this game! The Warriors really don't
You will definitely win!
So, during the game, Curry was surprised to find that Wang Feng actually helped him defend many times!
Is a little-known substitute defender worthy of Wang Feng's attention?
Even Cole on the sidelines was confused.
However, after a few rounds of the game, Cole discovered that Dellavedova had gotten a lot of opportunities on the court, and the Cavaliers players seemed to be deliberately creating opportunities for him, using multiple pick-and-roll screens and running coordination.
However, without exception, these opportunities were destroyed by Wang Feng who even assisted in defense!
At Dellavedova's level, not to mention defensive shock, just a golden death coil is enough for Wang Feng to completely prevent him from death!
Facing the top defensive expert on the outside, Dellavedova has no choice!
The situation once again became that James was alone and unable to speak!
Without Dellavedova's 20 points, the Cavaliers could only suffer another defeat in the third game!
101:88!
James once again scored 40+ points, and his efficiency was significantly improved compared to the second game. His average field goal percentage also rose to more than 40%, but he was still unable to make a comeback!
The big score was 3:0, which basically declared the Cavaliers' death sentence in advance!
Originally, according to the historical process, in the third game of the finals, the score between the two teams should be 2:1, with the Cavaliers leading.
But the appearance of Wang Feng completely disrupted this situation! Especially in the last two games, Wang Feng successfully killed the Cavaliers' hope of winning!
In the fourth game of the finals, the situation changed subtly.
James' whistles have obviously increased a lot.
In the first quarter alone, James, who frequently attacked the basket, stood on the free throw line many times. Green, Yingodala and Thompson who defended him all received fouls, and even Wang Feng, who was assisting in defense, fouled once.
This whistle frequency is almost as high as Magneto Harden!
Wang Feng knew full well that the alliance was interfering with the game again!
The 4-0 sweep was certainly satisfying for the Warriors, but it was not a good thing for the league. They hope that the NBA Finals, which represents the highest level of basketball, should be exciting and fiercely contested, rather than this kind of indifferent situation.
A suspenseful sweep to win the championship.
Therefore, in this game, the referee's whistle obviously started to favor the Cavaliers. Any Warriors player who defended James would be whistled if he made any big moves!
At the end of the half, Green, Ying Guodala and other players all received three to four fouls. James scored more than 10 points just by relying on free throws! The half-time score has exceeded 30!
