On June 6, Game 5 of the Finals will start at the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers, who are back at home, are facing a last stand. If they lose again, this year will be over again!
No one will remember who No.3 and No.4 are. They may be sadder, but also luckier, because the runner-up will always be remembered, and someone will always remember that they lost.
Today's game is a return point for the morale of the Cavaliers. If they win this game, they can regain the courage to fight the Lakers, but today they lost this game. Looking at the tiger-like posture of the Lakers, it is It is absolutely impossible for them to win a game with 0 to 3 like last season.
Either win or fish.
Although this is only the third game, the Cavaliers already have the despair of a last stand and the last morale of the last battle!
On the Lakers side, the players all put away their contempt after the two consecutive victories. Although Kobe finally said something to relax the atmosphere, they knew that Liu Ren was absolutely serious!Perhaps Green and Whiteside, the core of the team, will not be in danger, but everyone else is!
And what Liu Ren said was mainly for other players. Veterans like Gasol and Korver would never have such problems. Green and Whiteside, who have experienced the low-level players and have a firm mind , and will not lose the chain at this moment, mainly Nick Young, McCollum, LaVine, Clarkson, Antetokounmpo and others. The new "Nightclub N-person group" is here.
But now there is Liu Ren's high-handed rule, and everyone who despises everyone puts their minds away.
In fact, it is not too difficult, that is, three days of two games, three days of concentration, in exchange for a comfortable life in Los Angeles in the future, this kind of thing is chosen without thinking.
……
The Lakers still sent a combination of Antetokounmpo, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside who were so strong in this year's finals.
The Cavaliers are still sending their strongest lineup: Irving, Efflalo, James, Love, Mozgov,
The biggest change the Lakers made in the finals was to put Clarkson in the sixth man position, allowing the Lakers to start with Liu Ren, a double-high outside line that can defend Irving and bring great pressure to James. Antetokounmpo.
After the start, the Lakers still had an advantage in the start. Liu Ren, who was feeling hot, scored three three-pointers in a row when Afflalo was afraid that he would break through and take a step back to defend, helping the Lakers gain a 5-point lead from the beginning .
The biggest impact of Liu Ren's pressure on the Lakers players is their defensive enthusiasm. Antetokounmpo tried his best to attack James. He is not tall enough to make up for it. Such a big man can bring endless interference to James no matter what.
The courage of the Cavaliers to fight with their backs?The Lakers said that it doesn't exist, they have the despair that if they lose, they may be driven away!
When the first quarter was officially suspended and the two sides began to rotate, the Lakers still took the initiative in the away game, leading the Cavaliers by 18 points 11 to 7!
The Cavaliers players suddenly discovered that they were already fighting with all their strength, but the Lakers seemed to be even crazier. Antetokounmpo did not spare his physical strength at all. He spent his life defending and was replaced when he was tired. The son of the dunk king Nance Jr. continued to play hard, relying on his height and long arms to block James from the outside line, leaving Owen alone to face Liu Ren was a miserable situation.
As for another superstar of the Cavaliers, Love, it has been two years, and he still cannot integrate into the Cavaliers.
Playing against ordinary teams, Love only needs to play Bosh's role of pulling three-pointers well, but against the Lakers... he is simply an invisible man!Just like Bosh in the 2013 and 2014 finals, it was a completely negative performance.
After the official timeout came back, the two sides began to rotate.
The Lakers replaced Clarkson, Liu Ren, Korver, Antetokounmpo, and Gasol, and the Cavaliers replaced Della Widova, Richard Jefferson, James, Love, and Tracy. Christian Thompson.
The desperate morale that the Cavaliers had managed to gather had just begun, and there were reasons for it to crumble.
At this time James stepped forward, what the hell do we really dare not vote for?
James still faced the Lakers in the same defensive way as before, shooting directly from outside the three-point line.
Not to mention that although James' touch after weight loss is not effective from time to time, but at any rate, it will never work as in the last two years of the Heat. At this time, it happened to be effective. He scored two consecutive three-pointers to help the Cavaliers relieve their depression. morale.
However, Clarkson, who came off the bench for the Lakers, was like Westbrook. He hit the basket in a row and forced a layup, causing Tristan Thompson, who had just been replaced, to foul twice in a row and made all 4 free throws.
James scored 6 points in two offenses, and Clarkson only scored 4 points in two offenses. It seems that the Cavaliers have recovered two points.
But Tristan Thompson, who grabbed the most rebounds for the Cavaliers, just fouled twice after just over a minute!
The Cavaliers chased for two points, but their No.1 rebounder fell into a foul crisis and couldn't make ends meet?Is it worth the candle?That's probably what it meant, anyway, they lost a lot!
In the finals, Clarkson was sent to the bench at first, and he was a little dissatisfied at first.
However, after he came to the bench, he found that he found a way of playing that seemed better and more suitable for him.
The second team has no one to grab the ball!
Knowing what Clarkson's characteristics are, and just giving himself a chance to rest on the court, Liu Ren, like Korver who came in the rotation, pulled beyond the three-point line to open up space for Clarkson, allowing Clarkson to burst, If the guy breaks the ball out, shoot it.
This allowed Clarkson to find the most comfortable way to play. This style of play is impossible when playing with the starters, because Liu Ren wants to hold the ball, and Green wants to hold the ball. He can only do what he is not good at. role of space.
Clarkson made another contribution this time. When James was about to stand up, and had already stepped up and scored two three-pointers, and was about to boost the morale of the Cavaliers again, he consecutively caused fouls by Tristan Thompson , forcing Tyronn Lue to only be replaced by Channing Frye, who was not too dared to be replaced in this year's finals.
Channing Frye's characteristic is the three-pointer, which is very accurate, especially accurate, and there are few three-pointers more accurate than him in the center position.
However, he can make two or three three-pointers in a game. The Lakers just focus on defending the inside. He is just a role player. Not to mention that the Lakers don't believe that the Cavaliers dare to let him shoot more than ten or twenty shots. , the Cavaliers themselves dare not!
And Channing Frye is easy to use in the regular season, and it’s also easy to use when the game is being abused. It’s also easy to use when the two teams are evenly matched. For example, in the previous game against the Knicks, he contributed several times. The three-pointer at the time helped the Cavaliers take advantage.
However, the Cavaliers have no hope of a comeback against the Lakers... a pure headwind. At this time, to create hope, you have to have Tristan Thompson who can fight and grab. Egg use!
And Tristan Thompson and Love are not good against Clarkson. If you say that Love is good in single defense, but his outside help defense is almost like a sieve. Mozgov and Tristan Thompson are the best. The guard of the rim for the Cavaliers.
But both of them have a problem, which is physical fitness. Tristan Thompson has never averaged more than 30 minutes per game in any season. For that kind of muscular man, playing for 30 minutes is the limit.
Not to mention Mozgov, a 20-minute meat shield center in the regular season, has the same role as Bogut of the Warriors, but his task is to be the defensive core when competing with the opponent's main force.
Now it's a defensive sieve Love plus another defensive sieve, Channing Frye, and Clarkson plays like a superstar.
There are Liu Ren and Korver on the outside, two three-point shooters with one beep. James and Richard Jefferson of the Cavaliers dare not leave Liu Ren and Korver at all.
Delavidova... he's okay defensively, but only okay. It's still difficult to defend Clarkson, who averages close to 20 points per game, if he goes to a bad team to score points, otherwise he won't be just a substitute.
James worked hard and worked hard, but no matter how many points he scored, the Lakers would be able to catch them back immediately.
