NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

"The Cavaliers have rested for 5 days, but you have just gone through the tiebreaker. Do you think the state of the Lakers will be affected?" Kelly asked again.

"It will definitely have an impact. We will suffer in terms of physical strength, but I believe that our Lakers players will have a lot more willpower after going through the tiebreaker of the Western Conference finals. It is not a bad thing for the finals!" Xu Feng said firmly.

Kelly nodded slightly: "It makes sense! Also, have you watched the Cavaliers game? Do you think there is any change between the Cavaliers this year and last year?"

Xu Feng pondered for a moment, and replied: "After watching a few games, I think the Big Three of the Cavaliers are working together very well, especially Irving, who performed very well. In the finals, Irving will be our most dangerous opponent!"

"Owen? What about James?" Kelly asked curiously.

"James is of course great. He is the basic set of the Cavaliers, but I think the upper limit of the Cavaliers depends on Irving." Xu Feng said firmly.

Kelly asked again: "The Cavaliers and the Lakers are both new teams in the second year. Which team do you think has a better run-in?"

This question is difficult to answer, Xu Feng thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I really don't know, but I personally think the current atmosphere of the Lakers is very good, I believe this is a great group, we will be invincible! "

Kelly nodded in satisfaction. She likes interviewing Xu Feng very much, because Xu Feng is the kind of star that the media is willing to contact in terms of emotional intelligence and sincerity.

……

At the end of the interview, the entire Lakers team will participate in the award ceremony of the Western Conference Championship.

Although everyone knows that the team has won the Western Conference or Eastern Championship, this is just the beginning of a new journey.

But for the home fans, there is no doubt that this is a feast.

Xu Feng and the Lakers players put on their championship hats, raised the Western Conference championship trophy, cheered loudly and jumped.

The fans were shouting loudly: "Win that damn championship!"

"The Lakers Championship!"

"The Lakers Championship!"

"Xu Feng MVP!"

"Xu Feng is awesome!"

……

As Xu Feng became more and more successful in the NBA, some Chinese became more and more popular in the United States.

For example, the word "ox pen" has become a catchphrase of many Lakers fans, and later became a catchphrase of the people of the United States.

Even in American ice hockey, rugby and other arenas, fans also put up the slogan "XX Niubi"!
It has to be said that this can be regarded as a kind of cultural export.

There are still four days before the first game of the finals, and the players can take a good rest.

D'Antoni and the coaching staff gave the players a day off before heading to the practice facility to watch tape of the Cavaliers' games.

On the third day resume some training.

After the tie-break, the players were indeed tired, but the excitement level also increased.

Defending the title is very attractive, so many players are already eager to try.

Kobe's injury has basically healed. It was originally estimated that the Western Conference Finals may resolve the battle in 5 games.

No one expected to reach the tiebreaker.

In this case, it is a good thing for Kobe. He can recover from his injury for a few more days, and he can play in the first finals.

However, Xu Feng found the team doctor and felt that it is still necessary to be cautious and not to play in the first game.

Kobe followed Xu Feng's advice. After all, he is not young, and the finals are very intense. If he is really injured again, it will be a great loss to the Lakers.

Besides, from the perspective of strength, the Cavaliers should not be as scary as the Warriors, so Kobe can take one more rest.

……

The next morning, the whole team came to the training hall, and the coaching staff and players watched the video of the Cavaliers game together.

After watching it, the relaxed atmosphere of the Lakers players disappeared.

The Cavaliers have been horrible this season.

Last season, the Cavaliers formed the Big Three for the first time, and the cooperation was not tacit, and the Big Three were once the leaders of the team.

So many tactics are not compatible.

But this season, especially in the playoffs, the Big Three have a clear division of labor and rich tactics, and the overall skills and tactics have risen by more than one level.

Especially James, his personal ability has improved a lot this season. It can be said that he is a typical example of getting older and more demonic.

His judgment of the situation on the court and his passing vision have all improved a lot.

It can be said that James has entered the ranks of historical superstars this season.

If you can win this championship, James and the Cavaliers will enter an invincible state.

"Guys, how is it? How do you feel after watching it?" D'Antoni turned to ask all the Lakers players.

Lin Shuhao first replied: "The Cavaliers are much stronger than last year, and it is difficult for us to play."

D'Antoni nodded. He knew that Lin Shuhao had a high IQ, and unlike other black players, he spoke very honestly and didn't like exaggeration.

McGee said: "The Cavaliers' interior height is not enough, we can play this."

Although it is said that McGee's quotient is not enough, but he only short-circuits occasionally. On the whole, McGee's inside line is still very good.

The problem he saw was spot on, too, and D'Antoni agreed.

"McGee is right. The Cavaliers' interior is a problem. Because James needs to break through the space, he is not too strong inside. We can focus on the interior in the first quarter. If the Cavaliers shrink their defense, let's fire from the outside!"

This tactic worked well for the Cavaliers last year, but it is doubtful whether it will work this year.

Xu Feng has not spoken, he is thinking about the shortcomings and loopholes of the Cavaliers.

The playoffs are often not about who is stronger, but about who has fewer loopholes.

Because as long as the team has a loophole, it will be caught and beaten, and it will become a part of failure.

For example, if one of the main players in the team moves slowly due to a minor injury, he will be caught by the opponent, and this point is specially targeted.

Some might say it's immoral, but this is competitive sport and injuries are part of the game.

Except for the kind of behavior that intentionally hurts the opponent, everything else can be used.

"Xu Feng, do you have any suggestions?" D'Antoni looked at Xu Feng eagerly.

He is very clear that Xu Feng's tactical awareness is top-notch, and he often has to deal with the opponent's tactics based on Xu Feng's on-the-spot decisions on the field.

Xu Feng said slowly: "The Cavaliers are very strong now, but the inside is indeed the weakness of the Cavaliers. We can make a fuss about this aspect. But Coach Tyronn Lue hides this weakness very well. He is very strong with James and Love. Mobility, to make up for the lack of inside."

"However, if we want to break through their protection and penetrate the inside, the Cavaliers will lose half. In addition, we must pay attention to Irving. When the Cavaliers' tactics are restricted, Irving's singles will solve the problem."

D'Antoni nodded slightly, he felt that what Xu Feng said was right.
