Chapter 446 Tragic Knight
"James took a tentative step and directly started to kill, and Xiang Chu came to help defend at the first time. Both of them responded very well. Will the two confront each other directly?"
"James still distributed the ball. The Cavaliers now need a three-pointer. JR catches the ball and shoots. He is full of confidence...Unfortunately, his shot missed a bit."
"Xiang Chu turned around and grabbed the rebound. James was obviously annoyed."
"The Nuggets played very patiently. They were the dominant side. Knight's breakthrough...Irving fouled. Irving has fouled for the fifth time. His injury should not heal, and he can't keep up with his steps."
"James still missed a three-pointer, and the score gap is getting bigger and bigger."
"The Cavaliers didn't choose foul tactics, did they give up?"
"The Nuggets blocked the three-point line tightly, James... Hey, he came in and scored two points for a layup, but at this time the two points are meaningless."
The Cavaliers missed the last few three-pointers, and the Nuggets narrowly won Game [-] of the Finals.
After the game, Cavaliers head coach David Blatt was indignant, thinking that their defense was too rough, but they were sheltered by home court advantage.
"They have so much physical contact, a lot of it goes beyond basketball."
George Karl snorted, "He may not have adapted to the league yet, but judging by the defense of their players, that's obviously not the case. Xiang Chu is about to wrestle with others at the basket."
"We won because we were stronger, not because of any other factors."
Xiang Chu said after the game: "We have done a lot of preparation work before the game. No matter what changes the opponent makes on the court, we can always respond immediately."
"Everyone on the team has worked so hard on the field to get us to win on the field. We will continue to win, whether it is home or away."
The media said that the Cavaliers' tactics rely too much on James.
"The Nuggets are not the same as the Eagles. You can hit the Eagles at will. The Nuggets have something to do. The Cavaliers think it's easy."
After losing the game, James doesn't like to talk too much, he is also holding back his energy.
He is still at the peak, and it is time to gain more honors. He did not expect Xiang Chu to grow so fast.
For the Nuggets, James must be the most dangerous player on the Cavaliers lineup.
His comprehensive strength is much stronger than Curry, but he is not necessarily greater than Curry in terms of threat.
James' style of play was severely restrained by the Nuggets. Xiang Chu's big cap can be said to be an important reason why James did not play so well at the last moment.
James can also attack Xiang Chu, but his efficiency is much lower than when he faces other teams.
If his teammates can play better, he doesn't need everything to let him come to James and he won't have so many concerns. The Cavaliers were considered to have a strong lineup at the beginning of this season, but it was not until the playoffs that they realized that it was all a lie.
Although there are injury reasons, their lineup is indeed not strong enough compared to the Nuggets.
During the finals, there was enough time to adjust, and the Nuggets players were also very serious in their training hall.
They are all full of excitement now, and they are all full of energy.
Having the opportunity to win the championship is an honor that many players will never achieve in their lifetime. No matter what happens to everyone in the future, having a championship ring will become an honor for their entire career and will be a topic of conversation for a lifetime.
Not only the Nuggets players, but also the Cavaliers players have great expectations.
It is not easy to enter the finals, as long as you go one step further, you can succeed, and no one is tempted.
The Cavaliers want to grab an away game. They have no other advantage now, they just want to fight.
The Nuggets must protect the two home courts, and the outcome of this game will also have an impact on the confidence of the two teams in the future.
Three days after the first game, G2 played at the Pepsi Center.
Still the same starter, still the same tactics, the Cavaliers launched a fierce attack from James as soon as they came up.
The Nuggets are more fully prepared than the first game, and targeted defensive tactics are immediately arranged.
It doesn't matter that James is a steel-framed Nuggets. They are after victory, not completely preventing James from dying.
James made more mid-range shots this time, with fewer breakthroughs and three-pointers.
He's shooting very well, but the Cavaliers' role players have been terrible.
In fact, they are not to be blamed. The Cavaliers' tactical arrangements have resulted in fewer opportunities for them to make shots, and they have consumed a lot of energy on the defensive end, making it difficult to adjust their touch.
For the Nuggets, they are getting better and better combining inside and outside, and they didn't give the opponent a chance to lead like they did on the court.
The Nuggets have no absolute core outside, which also makes it difficult for the Cavaliers to defend.
This difficulty is mainly due to the high energy consumption, and one must not relax for a moment, otherwise a three-point score will be very hurt.
Of course, the main score for the Nuggets comes from Xiang Chu, and he is not fake as the scoring champion.
He can say that one defense and one defense in the league can guard him now.
It is difficult for James to help the team take the lead, and the burden on Irving has also increased. JR's stability is too poor. To help James, Irving still needs to work hard.
Irving was originally the key defensive target of the Nuggets. Knight also sacrificed some energy on the offensive end in order to limit Irving.
The Nuggets have a lot of players, so almost every position can use wheels to fight against the Cavaliers.
Therefore, Cavaliers players are more prone to fatigue. As the team's most playing time, Xiang Chu is a physical monster, and the Cavaliers are also depressed.
During the rotation period, JR didn't feel very good, and the Cavaliers were also very anxious.
This time, not only James, but Irving had almost no rest, and they really only had to fight.
In terms of round tactics, the tactics of both sides are relatively simple, but the Cavaliers' tactics rely more on stars.
The Nuggets can turn Xiang Chu into a blue-collar player at some point. Can the Cavaliers use James like that?
But under the hard work of the Cavaliers, their score has been falling behind.
Although they maintained that the score gap did not exceed single digits, the more they played, the more uncertain they felt.
Why are the Nuggets so strong? They are not only strong but also very stable. Xiang Chu is like a machine, which will not be injured or tired.
However, the house leak happened to be raining all night. In the second half of the second quarter, Irving suddenly fell on the court clutching his knees after a breakthrough.
Knight looked confused, and the physical confrontation between the two sides was fierce, but usually without the ball.
After Irving held the ball, he didn't dare to put it on his body even if he wanted to, isn't he afraid of being passed.
After a slow-motion replay, Irving's injury was not directly related to Knight.
Irving's knee was already injured, and the Cavaliers were playing the main force in these two games. In addition, his own style of play consumes a lot of his knees, and now he can't support it anymore.
