Legend of Tomorrow

During the warm-up, many Suns players had excellent touches and scored consecutive three-pointers, which would also increase psychological pressure on their opponents.

Then the two sides started, the Suns five: Guo Xu, Bell, Anthony Parker, Marion, Stoudemire.

D'Antoni wanted to attack at the beginning. Parker, who performed very well in the first two games, scored 11 and 15 points, started. In this way, the Suns will add a stable shooting point, and when counterattacking, the lineup with one large team and four small teams can run faster.

This was a decision made by the coaching staff after a meeting. Roy came off the bench to attack with the ball in the second quarter. Targeting the Cavaliers' weakness of not having a good shooting guard, Roy ensured offensive firepower in the second quarter.

Cavaliers starting lineup: Damon Stoudemire, Alexander Pavlovich, James, Boozer, Big Z.

Stoudemire didn't jump the ball and went straight back to defense, and the game began.

The Cavaliers attacked, and the players pulled James away from the middle to hold the ball. Parker let him go two steps away to prevent the shot.

This is a common way to deal with James. He still relies on breakthroughs this season and has been practicing three-pointers and mid-range shots, but he hasn't mastered them yet. His playoff shooting percentage from long range was 33.8%, his mid-range shooting percentage was 26.7%, and his playoff three-point shooting percentage was 25.9%, which is appalling.

James averaged 27+8+8 per game in the playoffs, mainly relying on breakthroughs. His teammates were responsible for catching and shooting.

This is why James really doesn't want Big Z to leave. Many people say that he has his own system, which is the kind of system that his teammates must open up, especially the inside partner must have range.

If there is no shooting range inside teaming up with James, it will be ruined. The center standing in the low post will not come out, which will make it difficult for James to perform, and the opponent's center will also be unable to come out of the penalty area. This is James' biggest headache.

He chose to force a breakthrough, the Suns' wings shrank, and Marion and Parker double-teamed to block the breakthrough route.

Last season the Suns easily restricted James by playing this way, but not this season because he has improved his strength.

He dribbled the ball to the right and was about to hit Marion. He quickly collected the ball and jumped sideways. He leaned on Anthony's shoulder and took two more steps. He stepped up to the basketball in four steps in one go. 0 to 2.

This move is really difficult to guard against. The Pistons had Ben Wallace and Prince, both of whom were in the All-Defensive Team. James rushed in as soon as he accelerated.

The Suns attacked, and Guo Xu easily dribbled the ball through the half against the flying squirrel.

He was under a bit of pressure against Parker on the court. Although Parker's defense was average, he was taller and more explosive. The two had physical confrontation and he was afraid of getting injured. Little Flying Squirrel is 178cm tall and weighs 75kg. Guo Xu is much stronger than him in confrontation.

His teammates were all separated, Stoudemire went outside the three-point line to cover Guo Xu, he held the ball and walked to the right, and Boozer switched out.

Guo Xu collected the ball and jumped, glanced at Bell in the right corner, and passed the ball from behind with his right hand to the left baseline.

As soon as Boozer comes out, it means that Big Z is near the penalty area, and the main defender Marion is misplaced. Marion received the ball and feinted from mid-range, causing Big Z to move to the outside. He changed direction and took a step to pass the ball to Stoudemire, who was cutting in the middle.

Stoudemire's speed is at the guard level. Boozer switches to Guo Xu to block and then gets stuck in the middle. It's too late.

He caught the ball and charged for a dunk. Big Z was a step too late when he turned around to block the shot, and his explosive power was too low. 2 to 2.

The Cavaliers attacked, James received the ball from the outside and broke through. This time he attracted double-teams and separated, and Boozer scored from the right mid-range shot. 2 to 4.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll and moved to the right side. Boozer had to change defense to keep up, otherwise Guo Xu would rush to shoot a three-pointer.

The situation of Little Flying Squirrel is very embarrassing. He can only chase the defender. It is impossible to switch to the inside. The opponent will easily squeeze out his cut. Guo Xu can attract double teams as long as he dribbles the ball towards Boozer.

Stoudemire stood in front of the free throw line. After Guo Xu attracted Boozer at a 45-degree angle, he passed the ball from Boozer's crotch to the middle. Stoudemire caught the ball and made a mid-range shot, which hit the net. 4 to 4.

Big Z can't save to defend Stoudemire's mid-range shot. If he goes out to defend, Marion will cut through and score easily. James is positioned farther outside with Parker, and it's also difficult to defend.

The Cavaliers attacked, Guo Xu let the little flying squirrel go a step away and defended normally. If it were the little flying squirrel in the past, it would be difficult for Guo Xu to guard against it at its current speed, but now the little flying squirrel is almost as strong as one leg.

He mainly relies on jump shots to score, taking very few shots, shooting 39.7% from the basket, and only takes 1.1 shots per game. Looking at the data, Guo Xu knows that he can hardly break through. If the Cavaliers' Eddie House hadn't been injured and rookie guard Gibson was inexperienced, he wouldn't have been able to start.

The little flying squirrel changed direction and failed to pass Guo Xu, passing the ball to James on the side, but the latter was still two steps away.

He dribbled under his crotch and made a fake move to break through. Parker kept his distance and Marion double-teamed him again. James passed the ball to Boozer. This time Boozer failed to seize the opportunity and missed the shot.

Stoudemire grabbed the rebound and immediately passed it to the running Guo Xu. He squeezed the little flying squirrel with his body to receive the ball, turned around and succeeded, and advanced to the frontcourt to form a 3-on-2. Marion completely threw Boozer away, and Guo Xu passed a lob over Boozer's head.

Boozer tried to steal the ball but couldn't reach it. Marion easily caught the ball and scored. 6 to 4.

When the Cavaliers attacked, it was useless for Little Flying Squirrel and Big Z to play pick-and-rolls. Marion switched defenses very quickly, blocking the breakthrough route, while Big Z cut through the air fast enough and settled in the middle. The little flying squirrel passed the ball to the middle. Guo Xu had already bypassed the cover to pursue the ball. Marion also quickly moved sideways to block Big Z.

Big Z has a height advantage and can shoot against people, but he cannot be more efficient unless he is open. In the league, he can shoot against people to ensure efficiency. There are not many big men in the league who can kill the opponent. Only Nowitzki, Garnett, etc. rely on jump shots. Those who eat can do it.

He held up the ball and passed it to James. Stoudemire and Parker formed a double-team near the penalty area, and James passed it to Boozer.

Boozer took a step forward and scored two points from close range. 6 to 6.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball across half court and gave a signal to his teammates. Before Stoudemire came up to cover, he made a quick shot from one meter outside the three-point line in the middle. The little flying squirrel was afraid of being blocked by the screen again, so he didn't close up. Two people who couldn't jump faced each other. Guo Xu was 5cm taller and had an advantage in wingspan, so he avoided the block.

He was well prepared, took a quick shot in front of someone, and the ball went hollow into the net. 9 to 6.

The Cavaliers attacked, and James continued to force the ball. This time the Suns rotated faster. Bell's defense interfered with Boozer's shot. Stoudemire grabbed the rebound and passed it. Guo Xu immediately launched a fast break.

He had an opportunity as soon as he made a fast break, going 3-on-3 in the frontcourt, but there was a mismatch on the court.

After covering the middle, Big Z returned to defense quite quickly, but Marion was even faster. After receiving the pass from Guo Xu, he passed Big Z with a change of direction and scored a layup.

11 to 6, Guo Xu’s third assist.

Big Z has height, and if he turns slowly, he won't have time to block shots. Cavaliers coach Mike Brown knows that he can't defend fast breaks and pick-and-rolls, so he can only defend in the penalty area. If this continues, the point difference will widen.

After watching these two rounds, Brown requested a timeout to prepare for substitutions.

They also reached the finals. This Cavaliers is different from Guo Xu's previous life. They originally relied on defense to enter the finals, but now they rely on offense. The team has two powerful scoring points in Boozer and James.

Without Varejao, the Cavaliers' defense is weaker. They are also missing Drew Gooden and have more center Biedrins.

What's very embarrassing now is that James doesn't like Biedrins. If this guy comes out and has no shooting range, he can only play pick-and-roll cuts and score in the low post. The advantage is that he rebounds well.

This style obviously does not conform to James' own system...
