Chapter 737 [The quasi-triple-double was hacked and had a grudge against the rebound]

The Clippers got more rest time and watched the tiger fight.Originally they had the home field advantage in the finals, and now the number of people who are optimistic about them winning the championship continues to increase.

The biggest advantage of the Clippers is that the core players are not injured. Only Faried injured his right leg while rushing for an offensive rebound against the Spurs. Now that he has recovered, it will not affect the game.

The Cavaliers suffered serious injuries.

When it comes to "mountain eagle" Chris Bosh, people will always refer to him holding James' thigh more or less. Ironically, today's Cavaliers care about Bosh's thigh more than ever.

In Game [-] of the last round against the Raptors, Bosh was on the injured list with a strained right leg, adding more uncertainty to the playoffs.The Eastern Conference is all about fighting the bayonet. The absence of Bosh is equivalent to losing the chain in disguise.

The lack of Bosh's game, the Cavaliers' main interior by Varejao and Kenyon Martin partner.The former is a Hollywood actor who has been delayed by basketball and height; the latter is a veteran who has been in serious decline. Because of his shortness, older age, and multiple serious injuries, his performance can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Although Martin works very hard, he arrives early every time to warm up and practice the ball, and his shooting rate in training is not low, but facing the insider group of the Pacers, he still seems very difficult.

The battle between the two sides became a 2-2 draw, and the crucial fifth game was played at the Cavaliers' home court.

In the fourth game, the Cavaliers won very thrillingly. The entire team worked hard. James contributed 40 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Rebounding and 30 assists, Grant Hill, who came off the bench, contributed 9 points and 6 rebounds. The three led the team to a 14-7 victory.

James forced a breakthrough in the last 11.3 seconds to cause a foul by David West and made two free throws. Granger regretted that he missed the buzzer-beating three-pointer.

Everyone knows what it means to be 1-3 behind. The Cavaliers can't afford to lose. They win by perseverance.Veteran Grant Hill confronted Paul George, who was physically fit to participate in the slam dunk contest, and was stunned to be 14-of-4 from his experienced opponents.

In the fifth game, Bosh still did not play, the Cavaliers lost 81 to 96 at home.

步行者爆发的是替补分卫贾马尔-克劳福德，他抽风砍下35分3篮板3助攻，18投11中，三分球11中6，罚球7中7。

In Yang Rui's previous life, Crawford should have joined the Clippers, but now that the Clippers are not interested in him, he chose the Pacers, which became the X factor of the series.In the first two rounds of the playoffs, he played relatively poorly, and his shooting percentage barely reached [-]%, but once he got windy, he was an All-Star.

James made 30 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in vain.The Cavaliers can't expect James to score 40 points per game and still lead the team. Everyone else has to stand up.

It's a pity that Wade's performance was sluggish and disappointing. If it wasn't for Chalmers' super-level performance and 25 points and 5 assists, Martin scored 16 points and 8 rebounds, and the Cavaliers would have been slaughtered.

韦德被乔治防的大失水准，13投仅2中，罚球4中3，只得7分5篮板1助攻。

At this time, many people thought that the Cavaliers were going to end again, and even Yang Rui thought that the Clippers were going to face the Pacers in the finals.

On the Internet, many people criticize James for only brushing data and unable to lead the team to win. Even if he wins the regular season MVP again this season, his popularity will also decline.

The average quasi-triple-double is still being hacked, and James' treatment is unprecedented. Durant also did not have a championship, but there was not so much controversy.

The reason is simple, Durant's template was Dirk Nowitzki, then McGrady.And James has been regarded as the successor of Jordan and Magic since the age of 16, and the gap is here.

the more you hope, the harder you fall.After James has collected all the personal honors he can get in the regular season, the road in front of him is very narrow. If he does not win the championship, he will fail.

If the Cavaliers don't make it to the finals this year, the Big Three will probably disintegrate early, but the Pacers don't seem to have the fate to make it to the finals.

In the sixth game at home, Danny Granger sprained his left knee in a breakthrough after only 7 minutes of play.He can't even walk, this series will definitely be reimbursed, and the weakness of Bosh's absence has been wiped out all of a sudden.

Adelman made James' guest role as a power forward the key to winning the game. He would attack with the ball, attract double teams to separate the ball, and finally made a three-pointer from the outside.

If it was James last season, the Cavaliers would undoubtedly lose in this series. James has improved this season and has practiced efficient back play.During the lockout, James trained very hard, and the main thing to strengthen was his ability to back up.

In the finals against the Mavericks last year, he beat the Mavericks point guard Barea once in the back and was bragged about hitting someone with the ball, so he was laughed at by fans for a long time.James was ashamed and then brave, no longer regarded the breakthrough of the face frame as the only magic weapon, he became more comprehensive.

After Granger was out, neither West nor George did a good job of defending James alone. His strong body could protect the basketball well, and then quickly turned around to get rid of the opponent and wiped it into the basket.

The Pacers’ offense was seriously hindered. Granger is the team’s number one three-pointer. He doesn’t need to score a lot of points. The tactical role of opening the three-pointer is very important. When he is gone, he has to rely on George Hill and Crawford. , the playoffs are not good.

The inside line Hibbert was also prevented by Varejao. Not only did he score less, but he also did a poor job in protecting the backcourt rebounds.

Relying on the performance of backup point guard Darren Collison, the Pacers and Cavaliers scored anxiously until the last 3 minutes. At this time, the Pacers' weakness of lacking a super scorer appeared again. George, West, and Crawford took turns to shoot.

On the Cavaliers side, James showed his charisma, scoring in the mid-range shot, breaking through to attract double-team assists, and Chalmers making a three-pointer to seal the victory.

105-98, 3-3 on aggregate.

In the seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Clippers coaching staff and the players watched the game together in the arena and analyzed the opponents in the final.

Bosh finally came back, his injury has not been neat, but the Cavaliers can't afford to lose this battle, if they lose, the season will end.The Pacers are missing Granger, not the best lineup.

The Cavaliers had the last laugh 100-87 and advanced to the Finals for two consecutive years.

The Pacers lost on the inside. David West made 14 of 5 shots, 4 of 3 free throws, and had only 13 points and 6 rebounds.Hibbert was even worse, scoring 10 points and 3 rebounds on 6-of-8 shooting without free throws.

Hibbert has a height of 218CM and averaged 31 minutes per game, but only 11.7 points and 3.3 free throws per game. He is commendable for averaging 11.2 rebounds per game, including 4.1 offensive rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

Yang Rui turned off the TV, did not discuss tactics as he said before the game, but stood in the field, yawned and said, "This is really a boring game, it's too ugly, I think you must have this. So I won't discuss tactics today, everyone rest, tomorrow is a holiday, and I will talk about tactics in training the day after tomorrow."

Everyone was stunned, thinking that he was joking. As a discussion before the finals, the atmosphere was simply too relaxed.

Yang Rui went on to say: "I'm not joking, the Cavaliers are too bad. Only Chalmers, Miller, James and Jones are good at shooting three-pointers. James is also responsible for attacking the penalty area with the ball and preventing the death of the other three people. It's too simple. Inside Bosh is like having a grudge against rebounding, Varejao and Martin have poor offense... Isn't it just play to clean them up? Let's go!"

I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and the players all followed suit, feeling relieved all of a sudden, without the sense of urgency before the war.

Yang Rui doesn't talk about tactics, but it improves the confidence of the players.

PS: I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and the full moon is full of people and everything is complete!By the way, please guarantee the monthly pass during the double period, thank you!
