Chapter 742: [Sweep the championship, great team]


The next day, the media fiercely praised Yang Rui, the Clippers, and belittled the three giants of Adelman and Cavaliers. Even the Cleveland media did not say anything good about Adelman.
The coach is about to retire after the end of the season. He has a heart attack. Many people say that the Cavaliers can’t win the championship because of his low level. His tactical theory simply doesn’t work.
Adelman and his family didn't like Cleveland. He came here for the championship and to prove himself. The result made him very painful.
Wade and Bosh were even more abused and crying.
After joining the Cavaliers, the data fell, and Wade and Bosh became the "pseudo giants" who dragged the emperor's legs in James Mi's mouth, ignoring how much they lost in the salary reduction team. Cleveland's low exposure rate makes it hard for stars to gain the favor of advertisers, earn a lot of money, and even a mixed star is about to die. Why bother?
At the NBA headquarters, David Stern called an official meeting to discuss how to promote the next game.
They don't want the Cavaliers to be swept away, which is not in the interest of the league, but everyone has racked their brains and can't think of any way to make the finals look good. The Cavaliers couldn't threaten the Clippers at all, just like in the previous life of Yang Rui, the Cavaliers and the Warriors didn't have to fight in the 2017 Finals.
The Cavaliers can't resist, and the offensive is much inferior. The fiasco in the first game affects morale. How can a team lose its confidence?
After the meeting and discussion, the league is preparing to change the finals schedule next season, from 232 to 221111, of which the sixth and seventh games will increase the rest time of the day.
Since 1985, the format of the Finals has been changed to 232 familiar to fans. That is, a team with home-court advantage will play two home games first, then play three away games, and then return to home games in the last two games. This system will reduce the home advantage, because the series may not be able to drag to the last two games.
Adopting the new format will make the home team advantage in the finals more obvious, but vice president Adam Silva thinks it is convenient for the strong teams to release the finals. As long as they don't swipe, and after playing 3 to 1, the strong team can return to the home scene in the fifth game. Playing one more game not only increased the economic benefits of the home team, made them willing to do so, but also gave the weak team a little face.
The focus of business league meetings is always "interests". If there are too many games, there will be a lack of competition, and fans will be aesthetically fatigued. These people are desperate to play 9 games and 5 wins in the finals.
It is impossible to let the Clippers voluntarily release water this year. The sixth game is the home of the Clippers. Who would be willing to stay in Cleveland for so long?
In the second game, the Clippers, regardless of starting or replacement, can ensure a balanced offense and defense, winning 114 to 96 and leading 2 to 0.
Moved to the home of the Cavaliers, the Clippers anti-guests in the third battle mainly, 115 to 91 win, 3 to 0 match points.
James scored 41 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, but Bosh and Wade were lost together.
Bosh made 3 of 12 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. His shooting percentage was only 25%.
Wade made 8 of 22 shots, 9 of 11 free throws, got 25 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. He shot 36.4% from the field and had 5 turnovers.
The Cavaliers only had the "Big Three" scored in double figures. The team made 2 of 13 3-pointers and the overall shooting percentage was 37.8%. How can it be possible to win with such a stat?
Now their nickname "Big Three" is well deserved. As soon as they see the evaluation of the media and the fans' online messages, they are one big two and three big six...
Yang Ruidu was surprised by the result of the third battle. He believes that the key to the Clippers' easy victory is because there is more Battier in the team and there is less Battier beside the Big Three. This 3D player is too important.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the Heat's defense is certainly excellent, but without Battier, the outside defense will decline. Without an excellent assist defense rotation, the opponent's hit rate will rise, and the Heat's unbeatable counterattack will not be able to be displayed quickly. Compared with the Lakers and Spurs, the Heat has not yet reached the level.
And Battier has height, experience, and willingness to run. The offense is not the main target of the opponent. Once he finds the feel, he can score doubles. The offense mainly depends on three-pointers and does not occupy the ball. The Cavaliers' Grant Hill can't do this now, and the veteran didn't make three points until the end of his career.
Battier often came to the fourth position, which is even more tricky. The Clippers' defensive rotation is very frequent. Chandler is inside. Battier doesn't need to die for a long time. The blocking of the outside is what Yang Rui asks to do. From the beginning of the Raptors period, Yang Rui emphasized defense against three points.
When Tony Allen, Danny Green, Paul, Battier, and Guy Tieline crossed the outside line, all outside lines had headaches. In addition to defense, the Cavaliers lost three points. Curry and Danny Green made more three-pointers than the Cavaliers.
In the fourth game, the Cavaliers' substitute Mike Miller blew, playing 23 minutes, 7 of 11 shots, 8 of 7 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 23 points and 5 rebounds. In this performance, Miller has spent the entire season. So once.
James got a leg cramp and scored 26 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steals and 2 blocks in a triple-double. He broke through points and led the team, Bosh 20 points and 7 rebounds, Wade 20 points and 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
But the Cavaliers lost 106 to 111.
The Clippers also played well. Griffin scored 28 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists, and overwhelmed Bosh in four consecutive games.
Curry made 10 of 17 shots, 6 of 10 3-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and 29 points and 6 assists.
Guy made 6 of 12 shots, 2 of 4 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 16 points and 6 rebounds without assists.
Battier made three 3-pointers, played 34 minutes in the game, made 3 of 6 shots, 3 of 6 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, got 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists~EbookFREE.me~Defense At the end, he also made Wade and James each hit the ball.
Paul's performance is average, 4 of 10 shots, 3 of 3 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, only 13 points, 10 assists and 2 steals, enough to help the team win.
At the end of the whistle, the Clippers rushed into the venue and began to revel.
Griffin is happiest. He has the best stats in the team, averaging 27.5 points, 12 rebounds and 3.5 assists. His shooting percentage is 50%. Although his free throw percentage is only 66%, FMVP is also stable.
Kurt Thomas, who was not on the big list, was very excited. He did not choose the wrong team and finally realized his dream before retiring.
Buckley commented: "The Clippers won the championship with an overwhelming advantage. They are the best team in the NBA. Just like when they joined the Raptors, from the countdown to the strongest in the league, Jerry Yang transformed this team. It took two years."
Kenny Smith said: "There is no doubt that next season the Clippers will embark on the road to establish a dynasty."
CCTV5 said reasonably: "Today the NBA is a brilliant league of stars, and all the stars drive the team. Once the stars do not play, the entire team will be in trouble. This is a problem that is common in today's league. The Thunder and Cavaliers are the same. The Clippers, team basketball, and tactical system have penetrated into everyone's blood, and the Clippers' stars are very selfless. Paul's finals have always been based on passing, not fighting for FMVP."
Yu Jia said: "The vast majority of conditional teams will want to rebuild like a knight, their philosophy is to buy; and Yang Rui's philosophy is to build, his team, most of the stars are trained by themselves . This should be the highest level and the highest level of basketball."
Zhang reasonable smiled and said: "The Cavaliers are not wrong. They lost to the great team unique in this era, lost to the most powerful pope in NBA history."
