Chapter 738: [Awkward record, the final battle]


One    League finals focused on promoting Chris Paul and LeBron James contest. They knew each other in the high school arena, and the two geniuses were sympathetic. They have successively entered the NBA and become super stars, and their friendship has also sublimated.
Paul said that James is his best friend. James said that Paul was like a family member.
When James fought in the finals in 2007, Paul even brought his girlfriend Jada to Cleveland and lived in James's home to take care of the pregnant Savannah Brinson for James. Paul is the godfather of James' children, and James is also the godfather of Paul's children.
The two were the MVP of the regular season last season and the MVP of this season, which is a highlight of the finals.
Coach comparison, the Cavaliers are clearly not opponents. Yang Rui is recognized as the best coach, but Adelman has never won a championship. Many experts believe that the coaching gap will determine the final result of the game.
Seeing this kind of evaluation, Adelman only wanted to smash the TV. He was a scapegoat in the Cavaliers. He won the credit for James and lost it because he would not use people. The role player could not give James enough support.
This is the trouble for coaching superstars. Apart from Yang Rui, no coach can grab the limelight of the star.
The 13-member expert group formed by ESPN unanimously favors the Clippers to win the championship. The two who are most optimistic about the Cavaliers think that the final will play a tie-break, but the Clippers win.
According to an online survey, only Cleveland among all US states supports the Cavaliers to win this year's championship, and all other cities are generally optimistic about the Clippers.
Predicting one-sided, not only the glorious record of Yang Rui, but also because the Cavaliers' record is too tragic. In Yang Rui's previous life, before the start of this year's finals, the outside world also agreed that the Thunder defeated the Heat to win the NBA championship.
To put it bluntly, the 2003 Big Three are not so brave, and they can continue to the finals because the competition in the east is weak. From the previous life to 2012, only the 2003 platinum generation star Wade won the championship in 2006, and the other two giants fought repeatedly. Repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles, the reputation is not supported by the record, but is supported by the fans and the league.
Even worse in this life, Wade did not win the championship in the Heat. Like James, they were abused in the finals. After the Big Three entered the league, they only won one game in the finals. With such an embarrassing record, who would be optimistic about them?
Before the game, the Clippers all expressed their confidence to win the championship, not only to win, but also to win beautifully. On the Cavaliers side, regardless of the players or coaches, they only said that they would try their best to fight, without confidence.
If the Cavaliers have a player of Jennings character at this time, it means that the morale will be stronger in 6 games to get the Clippers.
Schedule 232, the Clippers first two home games, on June 13, the first game in Los Angeles Staples Stadium.
Before the game, TNT Barkley said: "Staples is Jerry Yang's blessing. After he arrived in Los Angeles, he spent five seasons with the Lakers and two seasons with the Clippers. He even missed the finals only once. He led every year. The teams that win championships are unprecedented in NBA history."
Smith laughed: "Jerry proved the importance of a basketball coach. After he left, the Raptors, Wizards, and Lakers all declined significantly. They never made it to the finals. The Lakers exchanged stars, and now they are even in the West. Can not enter."
Barkley said: "I think Kobe only has a good relationship with Jerry, there was a chance to surpass Michael Jordan, at least in honor, but unfortunately he was disobedient, he gave up this opportunity, there was news that Kobe Bryant after the 2009 season The game didn't hurt at all. It was Jerry who excluded him from the playoffs. The Lakers won the playoffs. From the performance of Kobe Bryant afterwards, this is really possible."
After warming up, players from both sides stood on the field.
Clippers start: Paul, Battier, Guy, Griffin, Chandler.
Cavaliers start: Chalmers, Wade, Miller, James, Bosh.
Adelman adjusted the lineup to allow James to play power forward and Valejo came off the bench. This season, James often plays the No. 4 position. Whether he likes it or not, it is indeed beneficial to the team.
After entering the league, James's height has grown a little, and has reached 205CM. At that time, Kings power forward Chris Weber was only 206CM. Weber has always been playing power forward. James can certainly play.
If there is enough honor, James can come in the way he likes, but as a street star who has no championship, he can only accept the arrangement of the coaching staff because the one he likes has not been successful.
If it were not for Adelman to move flexibly, the Cavaliers would be sent home by the Pacers. Miller could start with a stable three-point shooting point, which was more tactical than Valejo and Grant Hill.
The Clippers attack first and the game begins.
Paul took the ball outside the three-point line and other teammates pulled away to observe the position, and the Cavaliers were man-to-man.
Paul immediately analyzed that one of the most advantageous single-headed offenses on the field is himself. Wade defending Guy, James and Griffin, Miller and Battier, will not become a defensive loophole.
If it is an attacking defender, in the face of Chalmers must choose heads-up, Paul will not do so, his primary goal is to lead the team.
He waved his hand, Chandler's mid-screen blocked Chalmers, Paul rushed to the right, and Bosh changed defense quickly, making it impossible for Paul to easily break through and not shoot.
Paul took the ball and forced a breakthrough to 45 degrees, found a small space when the ball was passed to the middle, Chandler received the ball and accelerated, and took only one step to hit the supplementary James.
James fell to the ground and the referee whistled and hit the ball with a ball.
Yang Rui frowned on the sidelines. Chandler's defensive end was close to perfect, and the offense was much worse. As long as he shifted the ball, Griffin would get a free mobile phone meeting. Unfortunately, this opportunity is often invisible to him.
Zhang reasonable sighed: "James ranked fourth in the selection of the best defensive player this year. This time the replacement is really timely. He not only defends with his body, he is very smart in defense."
Yu Jia said: "James' personal ability is impeccable, and both ends of attack and defense are core."
The Cavaliers attacked, the Clippers used a mixed defense, Guys stared at James, Paul stared at Chalmers, and the other three regional defenses shrank to the restricted area at any time.
This is a common tactic for all teams when dealing with James. Only joint defense can restrict him from breaking through the pavement frame, and he must find someone with a similar height and physique to follow James, otherwise he can also make a jump shot, and the shooting rate is more than last season. Promote. Not as fast as he is, and as fast as he is. James is indeed the most capable player in the NBA.
Guy's defense is very smart, and he takes two steps away from the main defense to break through. He stepped forward and could slightly interfere with the dry pull jumper. After four years of knighthood, the two knew the truth.
James forcibly broke through and Guy kept up with his superb physical fitness. Near the restricted area on the right, Chandler retreated.
James jumped to the basket, and the ball was divided to the left in the gap~EbookFREE.me~ Bosh received the ball from the bottom line, and Battier released Wade to defend.
Bosh took advantage of the situation and Chandler rushed out to interfere with Wade's shot again. Wade missed a jumper under interference, and Guy grabbed a rebound in the backcourt and took care of Paul's response.
The Clippers also played for the first time in the Finals. They were extremely careful. Paul slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt. This time he played Griffin with a pick and roll. Chandler attracted the defense in the low post.
LeBron James changed his defense, and Paul suddenly attracted James from the left and opened the distance to Griffin.
Griffin squeezed Chalmers to take the ball and rushed to the basket, drew a ball to attract Bosh's defense, moved the ball to the right low position, Chandler took the ball in a step, his hands dunked into the ball. 2 to 0.
In the beautiful biography, the Clippers opened first.
