Chapter 778 [The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger, the Pagoda Town River Demon]

Getting swept out by the same opponent two years in a row is a big blow for any team.There are many fans online discussing whether Duncan, Ginobili and Popovich will retire together.

After the game, Duncan made it clear that he would not retire. He still has strong strength and will be 40 years old.Popovich will not retire, and Duncan will not retire if he retires.

Yang Rui did not comment too much on the Spurs. He was not surprised at all in the finals, and they were much better than their opponents in the regular season.

On the surface, the Spurs are only missing one Danny Green, but this is a crucial figure, the Spurs' best pitcher, averaging more than two [-]-pointers per game.

Green's presence will deter opponents enough on the offensive end to prevent them from shrinking too far into the penalty area.

The value of Green on the defensive end is also huge. He can not only guard shooting guards, but also effectively guard point guards, even top point guards.The coach can have flexible backcourt options and mix-and-matches, Green's speed guarantees his pressure, and his strong body allows him to deal with low-post offenses.

Now, Green is the Clippers' starter, and because of him, Yang Rui rarely lets Tony Allen play.There is no need to sprinkle salt on the opponent's wound for the victory of the lineup.

As a rebirth, Yang Rui never thought that on the premise of being able to make up a superstar lineup, he would train players who he hadn't played in his previous life to compete with his opponents.It's certainly challenging to do that, and if you win, you'll prove you're the best coach worthy of the name, but it's self-abuse.

The reporter asked Yang Rui to predict the outcome of the Eastern Conference finals. Yang Rui said: "I'm optimistic about the Nets advancing. The reason is very simple. The Nets have Yao's name."

He said this, not to please the Chinese fans. Now the Nets lead 2 to 1, and the inside advantage is obvious.

Bosh can't even defend Hibbert one-on-one, and it's even more difficult to match Yao Ming. Everyone thinks that he really doesn't deserve the title of "giant".

If the Cavaliers use Varejao to defend Yao Ming, the "Brazilian actor" will have to get more playing time, and the Cavaliers' offense will become worse, all relying on star singles.

After Adelman left, the Cavaliers found Lionel Hollins as their coach. Good coaches are hard to find in the free market. Hollins is barely a Jerry type, but his best result was to lead the Magic to the NBA Finals. Finals, then swept by the Lakers.

Moreover, Hollins is a head coach who emphasizes defense and likes to arrange a single core. Except for James, the data of the other two giants have declined.

The Western Conference finals are played a day earlier than the Eastern Conference, and the Clippers players are on vacation. Even if the Nets advance 4-1, they can rest for a week.

Players rest for three days to recover their physical strength. During these three days, the coaching staff will watch the Eastern Conference finals, study opponents, and formulate tactics. The rest is to practice targeted tactics and prepare for the finals.

Everything is very favorable for the Clippers, the league has changed the finals schedule to 221111, and the Clippers have a bigger home-court advantage than in previous seasons.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the pressure value of Cavaliers players reached a historical peak, and James, as the core, could not sleep or sleep.

Although they lost the first two years, they still made it to the finals. If they were defeated by the Nets this year, it would be a step backward, and the Cavaliers also joined Ray Allen, who was known as a giant in the Celtics, last summer. Called the "perfect lineup" by some experts, it's embarrassing.

A super deformed knight can be called the most perfect configuration?The inside line is often exploded, and the rebounds are not ranked. Winning depends on the two iron gates on the outside line, and the quick transition of offense and defense. This year, Wade has also declined due to injury.

Recently, some media have listed the reasons why James is disgusted by others, including holding his thighs and not winning the championship, holding a group at the peak, suspected of manipulating the team to change coaches, brothers basketball pitting brothers, making eyeballs to add chaos to the team, etc...

The last one appeared recently, and it can be described as a thunderclap. James told reporters that he wanted to fight side by side with Wade, Anthony and Paul.These words can't help but make people suspect that he is dissatisfied with Bosh. Is it so easy to make up the Big Four?Does Bosh still want to form a group with the Eight Kings on Mount Weihu? !

In the fourth game, the Cavaliers couldn't afford to lose at home. If they lost, the Nets won the match point. If they won, they had to play the Battle of Tianwang Mountain in Brooklyn, and they were still at a disadvantage.

The two sides started half a catty, and the Nets had an inside advantage, and it was also difficult for the Cavaliers to quickly switch from offense to defense.

In the second quarter, the Nets had the upper hand. Defenders Nash and Deron had outstanding skills. The frontcourt Telitovich, Lewis and Blatche could shoot, opening up space for the two defenders.A defender is responsible for breaking through with the ball in the pick-and-roll, shooting himself or attracting dislocation defenses to score the ball to his teammates, and others pull away.

Brad Stevens is good at rotating players and matching lineups against opponents.The weakest position of the Cavaliers is the point guard. In the second quarter, the two guards played together, and the Cavaliers were very passive.

Deron is physically strong, and the main defense against Ray Allen will not be a weakness.After James returned to the court after a 5-minute break, the Cavaliers stabilized the situation and the Nets led by 12 points into the second half.

After a full period of rest, Yao Ming, who staggered playing time with Varejao, came back and began torturing Bosh again.Yao Ming attracted double-teamed points, Joe Johnson and Nash made three-pointers from the outside, and the point difference continued to widen.

In the final quarter, James and Wade recovered a few points by counterattacking, but they had no choice but to dig too much in the early stage. They lost 92-105 and trailed 1-3 with a total score.

In this crucial battle, Bosh was completely suppressed by Yao Ming, played 30 minutes, 6 of 1 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, only 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

姚名也打了30分钟，16投10中，三分球2中1，罚球6中6，砍下27分12篮板4助攻2盖帽。

In other inside competitions, Varejao played 18 minutes, 6 points and 8 rebounds, and "Birdman" Anderson played 19 minutes. He didn't make a shot, only grabbed two rebounds, and the other statistics were zero, and there were four times. foul.

布莱切出场20分钟，8投5中，罚球3中3，得到13分5篮板；费沃斯26分钟，8投5中，罚球2中2，得到12分4篮板。

Can't beat the inside, but the Cavaliers also have problems outside.Ray Allen made 13 of 4 shots, 7 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 11 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist.

In Game 33, James suffered a leg cramp and scored a triple-double of 13 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in Brooklyn. He made 4 of 108 shots from beyond the three-point line and led the team to a 103-[-] victory, extending his life for the Cavaliers.

In the sixth game, the Cavaliers returned home but were completely misfiring. Only James played normally, scoring 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Wade and Chalmers each scored 10 points, and no one scored in double figures.

The Cavaliers lost 77-101 and were eliminated 2-4 on aggregate.

Bosh has become the culprit out of the game, playing 31 minutes, 8 of 1 shots, 1 of 1-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 5 points and 4 rebounds.

His only domineering attack was to cut and catch the ball after the pick-and-roll, holding the ball with one hand, with his arms rounded, he wanted to make a powerful dunk from the "Pagoda Town River Demon".As a result, Favors, who was making up the defense, made a move of "The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger", pressing his right hand firmly on the basketball and turning Bosh's cover to the ground.

姚名本场没投三分，坚决强攻篮下，20投13中，罚球4中4，砍下30分11篮板；乔约翰逊也有出色发挥，19投11中，三分球5中3，罚球4中3，得到28分8篮板5助攻；德隆17分10助攻拿下两双。

This season, the Nets have really risen, not only with stars attracting fans, but also without overdrafting the future because of transactions.
