Chapter 775 [Depressed Head Coach James]

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown's plan is doomed to fail...

He wanted Gibson to run with Guo Xu and use up his energy as much as possible on the defensive end, making it difficult for him to perform on the offensive end.

Players who play with injuries theoretically do not have much activity. Many people believe that Guo Xu has not trained systematically in the past month and his endurance will decrease. They didn't know that Guo Xu was a cheater. He exercised a lot during the time loop and his endurance attributes didn't drop at all. Even if Gibson gets cramps, he can't even get tired. His endurance is among the best in the NBA.

Guo Xu controlled his speed and ran along, not impatient or impatient.

James forced a breakthrough and was double-teamed, and distributed the ball. Boozer received the ball from the left and took a step to the basket, making an easy layup. 21 to 15.

The easiest person for the Cavaliers to take action today is Boozer, and his statistics will certainly not be bad.

After Thibodeau joined the Suns coaching staff, the team's defensive tactics have become richer. In addition to resolutely double-teaming James, they can also defend James alone and cut off the connection between him and his teammates.

Now the Suns are using the third plan, double-teaming James near the penalty area, guarding the role players' three-pointers from the outside, and shooting from mid-range.

After James scored suddenly, Boozer had an easy mid-range shot. The Suns ignored it and recognized the goal. Boozer can be both inside and outside, and has all-round skills, but even if his mid-range shooting percentage is 50%, it is difficult to kill the opponent. It is not as good as James' shooting percentage when he gets to the basket.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Stoudemire started a pick-and-roll as soon as the half was over. Gibson was not fast enough to pursue the defense. He lacked experience in the playoffs and had average defensive awareness. Guo Xu changed direction and was thrown away.

Guo Xu went to the left, and Marshall came out to defend the pick-and-roll. Guo Xu took a step and a half to turn around, and passed the ball behind his head with his left hand to the right side of the three-point line. Thomas circled from the baseline and ran to this position, and the ball came.

In the last round of the series, when Thomas was playing power forward, he often ran to the right line and shot three-pointers. Not only could he create mismatches, he could also transfer the ball to his teammates. Stoudemire cut into the penalty area after covering the screen.

This is a tactic that the Suns focus on practicing. When the Spurs play small-ball tactics, as long as they draw Duncan out, there will be an opportunity. Stoudemire receives the ball through air cuts, and everyone except Duncan has an advantage in a one-on-one. If Boozer is not guarded, Thomas can catch the ball and shoot. For a 208cm tall man, if he lets him go two steps away, something will happen.

Boozer saw Stoudemire making an air cut but did not go out. He followed the coach's instructions and moved around the penalty area to prevent the opponent from hitting the basket and protect the backcourt rebounds. James was led far to the left by Marion, and Pavlovic on the right baseline did not dare to leave Bell open to defend Thomas.

Thomas took a comfortable jump shot after receiving the pass.

Hollow into the net.

24 to 15, Guo Xu’s fifth assist.

James was eager to retaliate, and used the crab step when breaking through. He jumped into the penalty area and forced a layup under Stoudemire's interference. 24 to 17.

This ball was a bit too much, because his feet were a long way off the ground when he jumped through the gap. If any other player had done this, he would have been called a second dribbling violation, but the referee turned a blind eye.

This season, some people have been questioning James' walking. It was the league's own son who won the MVP, and the home fans booed.

Anyone who knows football can see the matter of walking, so why don't many referees call it? Before the game started, James explained that James' move was completely reasonable and was not a preferential treatment by the league.

First of all, James is heavy and can't stop at a fast pace. From a scientific point of view, the referee should not call!

Secondly, he made a lot of breakthroughs. In the playoffs, offense under the basket and close-range scoring accounted for 32.6% and 14% of all shots, totaling 46.6%. Nearly half of his scores were made very close to the basket. He breaks through so much that the proportion of walks is very small compared to the number of goals scored. In the case of high-frequency breakthroughs, the referee is visually fatigued and does not call the ball normally.

Thirdly, although James moves a lot, the referees cannot watch the replays every time. If they pay too much attention to issues such as walking, then the referees will need to increase manpower, which is not conducive to the development of the league.

The most important point is that referees cannot always call superstars' moves. This will make the NBA league seem inferior and seriously affect the enjoyment of the game. This is something no one wants to see!

To sum up, James can be forgiven as long as he doesn't walk away to kill. Although others can't play like this, anyone who questions it is discrediting him.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll again and passed the ball to Thomas on the right. Boozer defended more outside this time, so he had no chance to make a direct shot.

Stoudemire did not make an air cut, but blocked Gibson again from the high post. Guo Xu ran to the right and received Thomas' pass.

The Cavaliers were in complete chaos on the court. Marshall felt that he could not switch to guard Guo Xu. If he switched to Stoudemire, he would definitely make an empty cut, and Gibson would have to chase him. Gibson was blocked for a second and was delayed for a second. How could he catch up?

Guo Xu was almost open. Seeing that he was about to make an easy layup, James let go of Marion to cover up. After Guo Xu feinted, he took a step towards the middle and threw the ball high. Marion cut into the basket from the left and dunked the basketball with both hands!

26 to 17, Guo Xu’s 6th assist.

TNT Radio's Barkley said: "I think if we continue like this, Jason will break the single-game record in the Finals and make many tricks at the beginning. It's not enough to select the top 10 goals in the Finals today. We should make a 20-goal special." .”

Kenny Smith said: "He has had 20+ assists in two consecutive games. If he does it today, it will be the third consecutive game. This is also a playoff record."

Barkley smiled: "I wouldn't be surprised if he scored 30+20. The Cavaliers really can't guard against him."

Like the single-game scoring record in the Finals, the single-game assist record was originally called an almost impossible feat. In the 1984 Finals, "Magic" Johnson sent out 21 assists in the third game of the Finals against the Celtics, setting an NBA Finals single-game assist record.

Many people have achieved 20+ assists in a game, but the significance of the finals is different. It is a duel of star strength. It is difficult for one person to kill his opponent with assists in the finals.

Guo Xu played even more easily than in the Western Conference Finals. He initiated the Suns' offense every time, and it seemed like he would complete a double-double in a single quarter. Without double-teaming to help defend, he can score by bullying the Cavaliers' No. 1 position.

How to adjust at this time? Coach Brown is completely out of ideas. He is actually an assistant coach on the team, only responsible for arranging defense, while head coach James is responsible for leading the offense.

In fact, people have heard this part of the story. As expected by the outside world, James has the absolute say in the team and has the final say in the team. The coach can only be his supporting role.

Brown is a good person, but good people have to be cautious in Cleveland because this is James' team and no one can go against him. The team owner is afraid that the little emperor will leave Cleveland, so he is cautious in everything and obeys his orders. James can do anything he wants, except winning the championship, because this is not what the owner can give.

James was equally depressed. He could see that the Cavaliers could not limit Guo Xu's performance. Even if he went to defend, Guo Xu would rely on screens to get rid of defenders and create passing space.

James feels that even if Guo Xu takes less than 10 shots and rarely scores, he is still a star defender, and the leg injury will have a limited impact on him. His passing awareness and passing skills are top-notch, and he feels so awesome.

It would be easier if the Suns had only one superstar in Guo Xu, but his teammates are too strong. They can shoot three-pointers more accurately than Cavaliers players, make air cuts faster than Cavaliers players, and even Stoudemire's singles are enough for them.

With this kind of lineup gap visible to the naked eye, how can the Cavaliers win?
