Chapter 606 We Are the Champions

The Lakers served from the sideline at the backcourt. Ye Xuan received the sideline serve from his teammate, and then slowly walked towards the opponent's half. , Ye Xuan's physical exertion is not small, so he directly passed the ball to Clarkson at the top of the arc, and after Clarkson received the ball, he beckoned for Gasol to pull out to help him pick and roll.

After the pick-and-roll ended, Clarkson immediately dribbled the ball two steps laterally. Thompson really switched over, and Gasol ran inward just like before. James had no choice but to follow in.Facing Triste Thompson in front of him, Clarkson suddenly made a move to break through to the left hand. Thompson was about to rush over to defend, while Clarkson immediately changed direction and rushed towards Thompson's defensive skills are not bad, and he followed up immediately, but Clarkson's movement was obviously not so simple, and he immediately used a change of direction again, and after this change, Clarkson directly A step back to return to the three-point line, and then a three-pointer is about to be shot.

I have to say that Tristan Thompson's defensive skills are not bad. After Irving went down, Tristan Thompson seemed to have a sudden epiphany, so he was not shaken by Clarkson, but directly rushed He went to Clarkson, ready to block the shot, but as soon as he jumped up, he knew what had happened, because he found that Clarkson didn't take off from outside the three-point line to shoot. Although it was true that he could not dribble with both hands, he If you rush over like this, doesn't it give your opponent a chance to draw a foul?Sure enough, the next second, Clarkson rubbed the basketball towards TT, and then pushed the basketball in his hand to the basket.

Due to Clarkson's awkward shooting posture, he failed to make a shot, but the referee's whistle blew. Clarkson caused a foul by the opponent and got three shots. Although Clarkson's free throw percentage was not as high as Ye Xuan's The 98% shooting rate is so exaggerated, but as an outside player, Clarkson's free throw shooting rate is obviously not bad.Steadily made all three free throws and helped the Lakers get another 3 points. In an instant, the point difference between the two teams has been reduced to only 3 points.

Obviously, the Cavaliers will not give up this game easily. After all, if they lose this game, all their efforts this season will be in vain, so the Cavaliers immediately made a comeback. George Hill also controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt. But this time, Hill did not choose to pass the ball to James, but asked Love to come over and make a pick-and-roll for himself, and then immediately started a breakthrough. Although Solomon Hill's defensive skills are good, but his opponents pick-and-roll. His on-the-spot adaptability was still a bit poor, so he was easily swayed away by Hill. After Hill passed Solomon Hill, he immediately rushed to the Pacers inside, preparing to end the game with a layup. attack.

But he didn't dare to go too deep into the Lakers' penalty area, because Gasol didn't lose his defensive position in the Lakers' penalty area, so Hill took two steps inward and found that there was no chance for a layup, so he had to Trying to use the mid-range shot to solve this battle, this time the mid-range shot was not interfered by other players, so it got into the basket relatively accurately.

But looking back, there were fewer players who could be rotated, and now there are fewer players who can be rotated after Irving was injured. The disadvantage of the Cavaliers has emerged. During the breakthrough, George Hill showed his weakness. He had some problems with his footwork and defense, and then Ye Xuan seized the opportunity to throw him away, and then hit a key mid-range shot.

Since then, the Cavaliers' offense has also started to have problems. George Hill brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to James, who was supporting in the high post, and then he started running without the ball. Ye Xuan was naturally nervous. He kept chasing, but Tristan Thompson suddenly came out on the way to help George Hill make an off-ball screen. Ye Xuan's pursuit was delayed for a while, and it was already very difficult to catch up with his opponent.And George Hill also took the opportunity to run out of the open space, and James sent the pass immediately. George Hill was about to force a layup immediately after receiving the basketball. - Hill still relied on his personal ability to avoid Gasol's block in the air, and threw the ball into the basket lightly, but it was the last action of sending the ball to pick the basket, and George Hill's movement was deformed As a result, this exquisite cooperation of the Cavaliers can only end in iron.

Gasol grabbed the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Ye Xuan, wanting to let Ye Xuan look for a fast break opportunity, but the Cavaliers' retreat defense is not bad, so Ye Xuan can only suppress the rhythm and wait for his teammates After the teammates were all in position, they organized an attack. After the teammates were in position, Ye Xuan immediately called Gasol to step up to pick and roll, and then immediately started a breakthrough, rushing to the inside. Hill was so soft, but directly attacked the opponent's basket, carried Tristan Thompson in the air and hit the ball directly, and caused another defensive foul. Ye Xuan walked slowly to the free throw line, After the ball was hit, the Lakers had unknowingly overtaken the score. Although the Cavaliers seemed to be George Hill and Tristan Thompson standing after Owen was injured came out, but in fact the two 'stand up' was based on some shots and offensive mistakes, so this not only failed to help the Cavaliers, but also turned the Cavaliers into frogs in warm water. I feel that my team has no problem, and one side has already been overtaken by the opponent.

In fact, what the Cavaliers need most at this time is to make personnel adjustments. In fact, George Hill has rarely played 12 minutes in a game, which makes his movements on the court a little slow now. Although he knew that as long as he went down and rested for about 3 minutes, the situation would improve, but in this case, no player would take the initiative to apply to end, which was too cheap, and it turned out that he could not help the Cavaliers. With the last two and a half minutes left in the three quarters, the Lakers officially took the lead by one point.

And in the next two minutes or so, the Lakers relied on the newly replaced Nick Young and Randall to play a wave of 7:3 highs, widening the point difference to 5 points.The Cavaliers went from leading by 8 points to being behind by 5 points, and it still only took one quarter of the third quarter.The two teams played at 21:34 in this quarter. The Lakers won by 13 points in a single quarter. Although the Cavaliers played very strongly at the beginning of the third quarter, their performance became worse and worse. In the last 4 minutes, They actually only scored 5 points, which is undoubtedly fatal for a team in the finals.

The fourth quarter continues. The Lakers can not only use fresh blood to continue to put pressure on the Cavaliers, but also can replace Ye Xuan and Solomon Hill, who played a long time in the third quarter, to rest. A period of time will also be the last chance for the Cavaliers to recover points and play momentum.

But often at this time, one or two role players make mistakes in the middle of the rush. This is the case in this game. An offensive foul disrupted the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm. They should have seized the opportunity when Ye Xuan and other main players were not on the court to make a fuss, but now they can only watch that they have not won any points in the entire finals. Gerald Green, who had a chance to play, immediately hit an outside three-pointer when he turned around.

Afterwards, the situation gradually went in a direction that the Cavaliers did not want to see. They were not able to recover the score when Ye Xuan, Wade and Gasol were not replaced. He played back and forth with a group of Lakers bench gangsters headed by Clarkson. Deron Williams didn't get too many opportunities to play in the Cavaliers, so you can't expect him to come out suddenly. Stand up to save the team in no time, after all, he is no longer the little tank who eats, sleeps and beats Paul.

In the third minute of the fourth quarter, the Lakers replaced Wade and Gasol first, while Ye Xuan was placed off the court to continue to rest, while the Cavaliers had not rested for a few minutes. The main players such as Love, TT and so on were replaced again, and James, who had not been replaced in the second half, the Cavaliers almost became the lineup in the third quarter, but the position of point guard became Out of the air, James took on the ball-handling task, and George Hill's position became Richard Jefferson.

The game continued and the Cavaliers attacked again. After James took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt, he immediately called Tristan Thompson for a pick-and-roll, and then immediately started a breakthrough and rushed to the inside. After reaching the inside, James went directly to the opponent's basket The basket launched an offense, dodging Larry Nance Jr.'s block in the air, and steadily sent the basketball into the basket.

But looking back, Wade's breakthrough made his good brother James completely sad. Facing Korver's defense from the outside, Wade completely let go of himself. The missing step that has been lost for many years is also reappearing in the arena. He directly hit the ball after flying Love. This goal not only helped the Lakers stabilize the situation well, but also defeated the few waves of counterattacks of the Cavaliers. go back.

After this round, the Cavaliers were no longer able to organize a decent and continuous scoring rhythm, and the Lakers were also in a stalemate with their opponents, gradually opening up the score. He was replaced again in the middle, but at this time the situation of the game no longer needed Ye Xuan's strength. After playing soy sauce and getting two assists, Ye Xuan was replaced again, and the Cavaliers He also replaced James and others in advance and announced his surrender.

At the end of the game, the Lakers once again completed the reversal when they were two and a half quarters behind, and this game was quite dramatic, because the offensive efficiency of the two teams was frighteningly high in the first half, but the scores of the two teams after that Efficiency went from bad to worse, each quarter was worse than each other. By the end of the last quarter, the Lakers only scored 24 points, while the Cavaliers were even worse, only scoring 16 points. But even so, the Lakers still scored 130 points: 117 defeated the Cavaliers, resulting in a big score of 4:0, completing the sweep of the opponent in the series.

The high score of 130 points is also the highest score in the finals in recent years. This game is mainly about the offense of the two teams, especially in the first half of the game. They played too exaggeratedly. At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers It has already led by 80:72. If this score is placed, for example, when the Pistons played against the Spurs in 04 and 05, it may be regarded as the score of the whole game.

And the turning point of this game also made people feel somewhat regretful. Irving's injury made those neutral fans who had expected the Cavaliers to fight back and win the next game, and then they could watch one more game directly. Lost the desire to continue watching the game, and the final result was exactly as they thought. The Lakers finally completed the overtake, then swept the Cavaliers and won the championship.

In any case, the finals of the 16-17 season finally came to an end. Under the leadership of Ye Xuan, the Lakers successfully won their No.17 championship trophy again in the Quicken Loans Center.This allowed the Lakers to successfully catch up with the Celtics' record of [-] championships.

And the finals MVP trophy naturally fell on Ye Xuan's head. In the finals, Ye Xuan averaged 39.5 points, 10.5 assists and 7 rebounds per game, and also averaged 2.5 steals and 1.25 blocks per game. Except that the block data is 1.5 less than Gasol's, and the rebounds are 9.5 less than Gasol's average, the other data are all the first in the team, and even the two items that are not the first are also ranked. Second in the team.

In fact, compared with the Western Conference finals, this year's finals are indeed much less exciting. The main differences are in several aspects. First of all, as long as Ye Xuan is not restricted by the Lakers lineup, the team will be very good. It is easy to be revitalized quickly after Ye Xuan's point is opened, and among the Warriors, Klay Thompson's defense and Iguodala's defense can somewhat restrain Ye Xuan, so this makes the Lakers compete with the Warriors. They couldn't completely take advantage of the competition, but the Cavaliers were different. They didn't have a defensive leader to curb Ye Xuan's performance, so Ye Xuan was able to call the wind and rain in every game in the finals.

The second is Irving and Love. Compared with the Warriors' stable firepower, Irving and Love's performance is obviously much worse, not to mention that Irving is restricted by Ye Xuan. Let’s just talk about Love, who didn’t play the dominance that an All-Star power forward should have at all. Coupled with TT’s sleepwalking and the lack of power from the bench, it’s lucky that the Cavaliers can reach the finals.
