"The Lakers beat the Cavaliers crazy in G1 of the Finals!" 》
"Facing Zhao Chen, James has no power to resist!" 》
"It rained three points at Staples, and the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers!" 》
"Mike Breen: The Lakers and Cavaliers are not the same level of teams. 》
"Zhao Chen scored 55 points, 21 assists and 12 rebounds to dominate the finals! 》
"Zhao Chen's madness continues, and his average of 50+ per game in the playoffs is even more exaggerated than in the regular season! 》
....
In the first game after the finals, almost all sports forums and websites were discussing Zhao Chen's bravery and the Lakers' three-pointers.
James's anti-fans are even more excited. Since James went to the Heat, the number of his anti-fans has increased sharply, and these anti-fans also followed him from the Heat to the Cavaliers.
The anti-fans are supporting the Lakers and they say this result makes them feel comfortable.
Zhao Chen deserves to be the MVP of this season. The superstar shined throughout the game and pushed the Cavaliers to the ground and beat him!
This is the result that everyone likes.

"Second place is the biggest loser. The Cavaliers should adjust their perimeter defense. LeBron should be more proactive in taking on the task of defending Zhao Chen, otherwise they won't have any chance." Barkley said.
In a TNT program, Barkley discussed the finals with several commentators.
TV stations also pay a lot of attention to post-match analysis, and retired stars can always study the game from various angles.
"We can't judge them so quickly that they will lose the series. James has a rich experience in the finals. He will adjust back as soon as possible. James now also has All-Star helpers like Irving and Love." Miller said.
"Love? Stop being funny. He can't be considered an All-Star now. Look what he did in G1? He scored 0 points in the second half." O'Neal laughed.
"Actually, we shouldn't be so disappointed with Love. His slump is only short-term. He can't be blamed for the Cavaliers' loss. It's more about the overall lack of condition. They haven't entered the rhythm of the finals yet. This kind of point difference It’s not a reflection of their strength,” Kenny Smith said.
"Zhao Chen's state is the biggest trouble for the Cavaliers. His dominance over the Lakers is more complete than James' dominance over the Cavaliers. The Lakers at this stage may be the strongest single-core team in NBA history." Barkley said.
"The Lakers' rookie group is also underestimated. They have always been questioned, but they have shattered doubts all the way in the playoffs. They cannot remain efficient in all games, but they will not fail to explode. G1 is the embodiment of their explosion. ” said Reggie Miller.
"Yes, the offensive capabilities of the Lakers' rookies are also surprising. They have no shortage of scorers and big-time players, and they dare to play with the ball at critical moments," O'Neal said.
"In addition to rookies, the Lakers' two players should not be ignored, Covington and Tucker."
"Both of these two people were on the verge of being eliminated in other teams. Only the Lakers were able to gain a foothold so quickly and get the starting position. The Lakers have also done the best to develop the functions of each player. They know very well that every player is in their respective roles. What can be done in the position.”
"And Boban, hey, you would never have imagined that this guy only played for an unknown club in Serbia before entering the NBA. He was so good that he actually blocked LeBron's impact in two rounds."
"Sometimes, you have to praise Mitch Kupchak's operation. This guy collected a bunch of role players and a bunch of rookies that no one wanted, and then signed a supernova Zhao Chen, and the Lakers got here. "
"His operations are enough to put other general managers in the league to shame."
...
TNT TV shows basically praise the Lakers.
The Lakers' performance in the G1 game gave them the advantage in public opinion.
The outside world generally believes that the Lakers can defeat the Cavaliers and win the championship.
.........
Knight's training hall.
Coach Bratt was very irritable.
Blatter is not a traditional American coach. He joined the Cavaliers after leading the Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv team to win the highest honor of European club basketball - the European Basketball Champions League championship.
Blatter also led the Russian team to win the Men's Basketball European Championship in 2007 and can be called a true European champion coach.
But this Cavaliers is not under his control, it is under the control of LeBron James.
But Bratt is not worried about the issue of control, but the overall state of the Cavaliers.
Logically speaking, the Cavaliers' lineup is well configured in all positions and should not have collapsed so quickly.
But this is the fact!
James and Irving both played well, but they just lost.
The competition in the finals is not just about individual superstars, but about teams.
After thinking for a long time, Blatt also discovered the reason why the Cavaliers lost.
The Cavaliers only have a chance to beat the Lakers if the entire team plays normally. If it's just James and Irving playing, the Lakers are not afraid of this way of playing.
Blatt found Irving and James and frankly exchanged his thoughts with them.
Love on the side also joined the discussion.
The Cavaliers' strategic change is imperative.
On the other side, Lakers head coach Scott also has his own troubles.
The Lakers' rookies and role players are performing so well that they don't even know how to arrange their playing time.
Although everyone says that playing time does not matter, if the arrangement is unreasonable, there will be problems with people's hearts.
Scott is in trouble with happiness.
G1 and G2 started one day apart.
After arranging Enna to enter the family rest area, Zhao Chen entered the interview hall and started his daily work.
Zhao Chen is not the first player to come to the arena. Kobe is always the first to come.
However, Zhao Chen is never late.
Under the leadership of Kobe Bryant and Zhao Chen, no one was ever late for the Lakers' warm-up and game training.
Enter the locker room, change, warm up, and return to the locker room!
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Lakers fans are still looking forward to the G2 game.
The G1 game was a satisfying victory. This kind of victory was different from the worries of watching the Warriors.
The G2 game started soon.
The Cavaliers made adjustments.
Cavaliers starting lineup: Dellavedova, Irving, Waiters, James, Love.
James moved to the power forward position, and the Cavaliers adopted a stronger perimeter defensive lineup.
Lakers starting lineup: Zhao Chen, Kobe, Covington, Tucker, Jokic.
The winning side does not need major changes.
Although he won G1 by a big score, Zhao Chen was still very cautious and he would not relax easily.
As long as the Cavaliers return to normal, the game will be so easy.
Zhao Chen exchanged the victory points he won from the previous Western Conference championship and the victory points he won in the previous game for an intermediate-level hot touch.
Zhao Chen is also determined to win G2!
