NBA’s aging star system

In Game 6 of the Finals, the Cavaliers held the home court advantage and had a chance to push the game to the tiebreaker.

But the Warriors obviously don't want to drag it out. The longer it goes, the more likely it is that accidents will happen.

Soon, the game started and the Cavaliers took the lead.

Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Although the Cavaliers' tactical arrangement was seen through by the Warriors, they could only follow this method, otherwise there would be a dead end.

The only proven effective tactic was the arrangement in the fourth game, which allowed Irving to focus on the first three quarters.

So this arrangement was still used in this scene.

Irving was facing Curry at this time, and he continuously dribbled the ball to mobilize Curry's defensive focus. Then he made a sudden stop and start to shake Curry's defensive focus, and directly broke through Curry's defense with the ball.

Irving carried the ball all the way to the basket. Curry was left behind by Irving, and Green came to help defend.

Irving made a direct throw before Green's help arrived.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

2-0

The start went smoothly, and Irving's offense came out.

The ball possession changed and it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball. Unlike Irving, Curry did not hold the ball in isolation, but passed the ball to his teammates without fighting with Irving.

After passing the ball, Curry started to run around the court with Irving. After two consecutive teammates covering the ball, Irving could not keep up.

Green also passed the ball quickly, and Curry took the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Curry made a steady three-pointer.

2-3

"Both sides started the game feeling good, and it looks like it will be an offensive battle." Barkley said.

The ball was once again given to the Cavaliers. Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to James this time.

When James got the ball, he did not start the offense rashly, but waited for Irving to move.

Irving continued to weave among his teammates, using the screen to temporarily get rid of Curry who was following him, and James quickly passed the ball to him.

Irving caught the ball and scored directly for a layup.

4-3

Irving continued to succeed, and the Cavaliers' tactics were considered successful, but this situation did not last long.

Turning around, the Warriors once again cooperated tactically and scored a three-pointer.

4-6

The Cavaliers also wanted to hand over the finishing task to Irving, but the Warriors began to deploy defensive personnel around Irving. Irving's offense was blocked and had to let James take the lead.

So the Cavaliers kept fighting and returned to the state of the previous game.

In the next few rounds, the Cavaliers have been led by James. Although the score is ahead, the energy consumption is also very serious.

Soon, at the end of the first quarter, the score reached 32-28, and the Cavaliers temporarily led by 4 points.

Using James's physical strength in exchange for a 4-point lead is a loss for the Cavaliers.

In the second quarter, the two sides began to change players. The Warriors retained Curry and Green, while the Cavaliers retained Irving and James.

In the second quarter, Tyronn Lue still wanted to compete again and put the offensive focus back on Irving.

But the Warriors' defensive strategy remains the same, guarding against Irving and James alone.

James is not a pure scorer, but an all-around warrior, or a more perfect point forward.

Therefore, if you want to bring out James' greatest advantage, you must let James not only score.

By handing some of the scoring responsibility to Irving, James can release more energy.

But obviously, the Warriors saw the Cavaliers' arrangement and did not give the Cavaliers this opportunity.

So in the second quarter, Irving played awkwardly as always, and James could only use more personal offense to maintain the score on the court.

At the end of the second quarter, the score reached 60-59, and the Warriors were only one point behind.

During the halftime break, it was obvious that James consumed more energy than the Warriors' main force.

"Although the winner of this game is likely to be the Warriors, we have to admire James' courage and perseverance in leading the remnant Cavaliers to this point." Barkley said.

"Why did the Warriors win? It's only been half a game, and the result is still unknown, not to mention the Warriors are lagging behind!" O'Neal immediately retorted.

"Obviously, James consumes more than the main force of the Warriors. James will not last until the end."

"No, no, no, I don't think so. In basketball, you don't know the result until the last minute. Don't jump to conclusions so easily."

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

There is no doubt that the Warriors will directly replace the five players.

The Cavaliers are also equipped with the Cavaliers version of the five-small lineup.

James still has some expectations, hoping to attract the defense and bring Irving up, hoping that Irving will share some of the pressure for him.

However, there were several consecutive rounds of coordination errors, or Irving missed consecutive shots, which gave the Warriors a chance to go on a 10-0 run.

Tyronn Lue quickly called a timeout, and took advantage of the timeout to find James.

"LeBron, our plan won't work. The only one who can help the team now is you. Use all your energy! As you do, so will the team!"

James nodded while panting and wiping sweat.

Soon, the timeout ended and the game continued.

Although the Cavaliers' lineup has not changed at this time, the tactical strategy has changed.

After returning to the court, James scored consecutive layups with the ball, and the Warriors had to shrink their defense.

As soon as the Warriors began to shrink, James began to break through and score the ball, and began to assist his teammates for three-pointers.

Although the Warriors' offense cannot be stopped by the Cavaliers, at least the Cavaliers' offense is now back to normal, which gives the Cavaliers a chance.

After Tyronn Lue's adjustments, although the Cavaliers' offense has returned to normal, the holes they dug before are still not that easy to fill.

Until the end of the third quarter, the big hole still existed.

At the end of the first three quarters, the score reached 85-94, and the Warriors temporarily led the Cavaliers by 9 points.

At this time, the Warriors not only have a score advantage, but also a physical advantage and a numerical advantage.

The Cavaliers' defeat is only a matter of time, it depends on how long James can hold on.

At this time, James was also sitting on the bench, breathing heavily.

James doesn't know if it was that difficult for Jordan to win three consecutive championships. He only knows that his chest feels like it's about to explode now.

Soon, before James had a good rest, the inter-quarter break came and the fourth quarter began.

Of course, Cole also noticed James' state, and Cole also realized that now is the best time to defeat James!

So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Cole directly sent in all the main players without talking about martial arts.

Seeing the Warriors' lineup, James gritted his teeth and walked onto the court.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Cavaliers. Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to James.
