Post-match press conference.
"LeBron, how do you feel about the loss in G1 of the Finals? It was a disastrous defeat?"
When asked about wanting to eat "tomatoes", James Harbor did not come out. He was silent for a moment and gave a standard answer.
“If I had to say it out loud, it would be very painful for me.
But sorry, I don't.
All I can think about now is the next game, the series is not over yet, and I don’t want to lose my first championship.
I will get back the lost score! "
"..."
"Steve, what about you?
You almost got a double 20+, which was also your first time in the finals. What do you think? "
"Of course I'm happy.
For tonight's performance, I have prepared for 10 years and worked hard to improve my strength.
How many decades are there in life? Therefore, I will enjoy the game and enjoy the pleasure of winning even more..."
Later, Su Bei was also asked questions.
"Looking ahead to the next game, what do you want to say to your opponents?"
"The Suns are going to win, that's what I said.
James' talent is really great, and the future belongs to him, but now it may belong to the Suns. "
"Is it possible that what now belongs to the Suns is not a possibility, but a certainty?"
"If you're confident, it's true."
"..."
After the interview, when he returned home, Su Bei activated the system's information prompt.
"Ding! Harvest the favorability of Nash, Son of the Wind, which is worth 8,000!"
"Ding! Gain 6666 favorability points from Little Overlord Xiao Si!"
"Ding! Gain 5555 favorability points from Hacker Marion!"
"Ding! Gain 10,000 rage points from Little Emperor James!"
"Ding! Gain Pavlovich's rage value of 7777!
"
"..."
He nodded and gained a lot of "qi" without losing face in the finals.
Su Bei glanced at the total number of anger and favorability points, and felt that it was still not enough and that he needed to continue working hard.
The next day, sports news about the Suns' massacre of the Cavaliers in G1 of the 2007 Finals dominated the headlines of North American sports news.
ESPN and Sports Illustrated, following the Cavaliers' disastrous defeat, also began to revise the winning probabilities of the two teams in the next game, from 64 to 73, with the Suns at seven and the Cavaliers at three.
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
It will be June 10th at the American West Arena.
As night falls, the road leading to the Suns' home arena is bustling with traffic and horse-drawn carriages.
At this time, the arena was about to host the 2007 NBA Finals Suns vs. Cavaliers G2 game. The lights were bright and the seats were packed. It was like a sea of people.
During the warm-up, the stars from the two teams just said hello and did not talk about a few cents.
After chatting for a few cents, you were beaten the hardest, and you still talked about a D?
It's better to sprinkle magnesium powder on it and show off!
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Cavaliers' starting five are Big Z, Gooden, Alexander Pavlovich, Larry Hughes, and James.
The Suns' starting five are Stoudemire, Marion, Su Bei, Laga Bell, and Nash.
This game was broadcast live across the United States on TNT. The commentators were Barkley and Kenny Smith, as well as Mike Breen and Marv Albert, two pairs of commentators.
"In the second game, the lineups of both sides have not changed. If they are not forced to make adjustments, they will not make adjustments easily. The key to victory is to see how the tactics are played? How is the performance of the players on the court?
In the G1 game, the Cavaliers were defeated in the first half. Let's see how to adjust this game. If the game is still the same as G1, maybe we can send it in advance! "
"That's not to say, what you are saying is just drunken talk. If the Cavaliers can break through from the East, they must be the strongest team in the East. If the Suns want to replicate the results of the last game, they still have to see if the Cavaliers' shooting is iron or not? The Cavaliers Is the team’s defense strong?”
The game begins!
Beep——!
The whistle sounded and there was still no suspense in the jump ball session.
2.21 meters versus 2.08 meters, the advantage is too obvious for my Cavaliers team.
Snapped--!
"Big Z will pass the ball to James, and the Cavaliers will conduct the first attack.
James controlled the ball to the frontcourt and still played organization forward tactics.
As soon as the Suns opened the game, they copied the homework of the first game, packed up, and allowed the Cavaliers to shoot from the outside.
The Suns are very courageous on defense. Next, what will the Cavaliers choose? "
Pooh!
The Cavaliers shot poorly, are they proud?
I want to continue to bet that there are no bullets in their shooting pistol, but it doesn't go as planned by the Suns.
Bang bang, bang—!
James accelerated his dribbling frequency, took a step back to increase the space for acceleration, and rushed his body.
"James didn't take a shot and rushed with the ball. That's right. What kind of bicycle do you need to beat Nash? No, what kind of shooting touch do you need? Be tough and attack Nash. That's the best solution..."
Don't come over here!
When Nash saw James rushing over, he didn't think about taking it hard. He fought and retreated, invited James into the penalty area, and then closed the door and let the dog out.
"Nash retreated in order to advance. Marion, Su Bei, and Laga Bell all closed their defensive pockets and trapped James to death with man-to-sea battles.
Before the pocket defense was completed, James jumped up and threw the basketball away..."
Bang-dang——!
Big Z made an alley-oop from the southeast corner and scored two points.
2 to 0!
"The advantage of the Cavaliers is that they can crush the Suns in height, and the air raid battle is indeed the best choice.
Romance
The Suns made a quick start from the bottom line, and Nash advanced quickly with the ball, rushing like a whirlwind.
If you have height but no speed, how can you solve this problem?
James got up and Nash passed the basketball in advance while running, anticipating the Cavaliers' move.
Lagabell advanced, but when he was blocked by Larry Hughes, he sent the basketball to Su Bei's hands. As he continued to advance, he passed the ball.
A ground pass was passed to the middle, and Stoudemire rushed over. He caught the ball without slowing down, rushed to the penalty area in three steps, jumped up, and made a tomahawk dunk like Ji Li Pi Huashan..."
Bang-dang——!
Stoudemire called it a day and scored two points.
2 to 2!
“This is going to be difficult.
The Suns gave Stoudemire the ball, and with his speed, the Cavaliers couldn't stop him unless they gave up their advantage and replaced the twin towers inside.
The Cavaliers' system may be broken.
As an assistant coach of the Spurs, Mike Brown copied Popovich's work. If he doesn't use the twin-tower strategy, what else does Mike Brown do? "
You still have to continue your own tactics, let the bullets fly for a while, and see how your respective tactics are executed!
In the Cavaliers' offensive round, James slowly pulled the ball to the frontcourt, making it clear that he wanted to delay time and play a slow-paced offense.
"The Suns used this move for eternity, but they still shrank back.
James still aimed at Nash to break through. After being pocketed, he threw the basketball to Larry Hughes.
Larry Hughes also stepped up, Laga Bell quickly turned back to defend, but was passed. Stoudemire went to make up the position, Larry Hughes pulled the ball up, made a three-step layup, and hit the board under the basket... "
Bang-dang——!
Isn't this scientific?
It is said that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage. Why can't Larry Hughes get in?
Don't ask, just ask that the joys and sorrows of the crouching dragon and the young phoenix are incompatible with yours.
Have fun playing basketball without eating your rice.
"The rebound was knocked down by Gooden, and he was stuck unable to attack the basket. He passed the ball. James rushed in, caught the ball, and during the confrontation with Su Bei, when he put the basketball in, the referee's whistle also sounded... …”
Swish——!
Beep——!
James' two-point goal was valid and he also added a free throw.
Swish——!
No mercy, James attacked twice and scored 3 points.
5 to 2!
"James showed off his muscles on offense, and on defense, he immediately pressed Nash for the whole court. This was to defeat the Suns' run and gun!"
"Nash dribbles to the frontcourt, gets into position and plays diamond tactics.
The Cavaliers relied on their length and hands to block the corner area. Marion was like a counter, blocking Pavlovic beside him. Su Bei ran from the left corner to the side with the ball, and Nash sent out the attack. Ground pass..."
boom--!
The basketball bounced up after hitting the floor and flew into Su Bei's hands.
Catch the ball, lift it up, jump up, raise your hand and shoot a three-pointer...
Pavlovich was stuck, the Cavaliers' inside line was unable to defend, and Su Bei's shot was completely open.
Bang-dang——!
A-level three-point shots, in daily training, I can hit 9 out of 10, but unfortunately, during the game, I can only make one-tenth of the shots.
Emotions are too strong to be tolerated.
“The Suns’ three-point shot missed, which is why it’s difficult to win the championship because of floating outside shots.
Playing while floating is always unstable and unreliable. When it is accurate, the god blocks and kills the god. When it is not accurate, the team is undercover. Can't we change to a more stable style of play?
An impossible defensive style of play is the greatest confidence in winning..."
“Also, it’s impossible for the Suns to get rebounds.
Big Z picked off the rebound, the Cavaliers attacked, James controlled the ball to the frontcourt, but Nash still shrank and put up a 'leave James tactic'..."
James is not used to Nash's "polite" defense. He draws his bow and arrow from outside the three-point line, and shoots a three-point jumper...
Bang-dang——!
James's three-pointer is even more outrageous. Like Su Bei, he also shoots hard.
It's just that James' life is better.
"Larry Hughes, Pavlovich, and James after shooting, all rushed inside to grab rebounds. This is difficult!
The Suns couldn't beat the tall and talented Cavaliers, Larry Hughes picked off the rebound and then sent the basketball into the sky..."
Bang-dang——!
Gooden made an alley-oop, made a second attack, and scored the basketball.
7 to 2!
The advantage lies with the Cavaliers. Obviously, the Cavaliers are better prepared.
Protect the backboard better.
When it came to rebounding, the Suns had no one they could beat. It was not surprising that they couldn't get the rebound. The game entered the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm.
If you continue to play like this, the Suns will be in danger!
