start with scouting

Chapter 677 See You Next Year
After a night of rest, the Kings team flew to Cleveland the next day to prepare for Game [-] of the Finals in advance.

The Cavaliers had no other unused moves, and various routine trainings began, but Su Yang still called a meeting with the coaching staff and scouting department as usual to discuss some rotation and matchup details, and hypothetically simulate some extreme abnormal situations.

For example, Curry made two fouls in the opening game, or Antetokounmpo made five fouls in three quarters, or a player in a certain position was injured and unable to participate in the game, how to adjust the rotation, and other extreme abnormal situations, so as to avoid it when it really happens, and you will be at a loss.

While preparing for the game, Twitter and other social networks sparked heated discussions: Whether the Cavaliers series wins or loses, whether the FMVP should be awarded to LeBron, because LeBron has reached the eighth triple-double in the Finals, tying the Magician, which is quite great.

Supporters believe that LeBron brought the Cavaliers to the finals by himself and fully deserves the same treatment as Jerry West.

Opponents believe that the system centered on LeBron is too easy to be strangled, and LeBron should learn from Jordan's choice of decentralization.

Supporters retort that LeBron can play off the ball, but LeBron's teammates are too rubbish. If they play off the ball or take a break, the entire team cannot score. From the winning percentage data of LeBron's absence in previous years, it can be seen that other Cavaliers players are too Rubbish.

Opponents believe that the reason for such a situation is that LeBron was specially matched with such a lineup before, a big man who can shoot to open up space, a guard who can shoot without occupying the ball, and naturally lacks aggressive inside and handling of the ball ability…

Debates come and go, heated discussions turn into critical meetings, and the object of criticism is LeBron and his teammates over the years.

Su Yang saw the news by chance, and thought that most of the fans were prejudiced. The Cavaliers lineup is very suitable for LeBron. The Cavaliers played well before. The finals were so embarrassing. It's the king who does it better.

The two rounds of the Eastern Conference are 4 to 0. Doesn't it mean that LeBron is strong enough and the rest of the Cavaliers are strong enough?

Commentator Bill Simmons expressed similar views on Twitter: "Whether the first game or the second game, the Cavaliers made the right decision and went all out, but they still can't beat the Kings. If the Cavaliers want to win next The game, it must be Kyrie Irving suddenly turned into Chris Paul, and LeBron switched to playing some off the ball, and hit 38% of the three-pointers...

But it's a pity that they can't do those two points, they can only accept the outcome of failure, nothing more than a decent loss.

If I were the general manager of the Cavaliers David Griffin, I would immediately start recruiting in the free market. There are many variables in this summer. Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, and even Paul George of the Kings did not renew their contracts with high salaries. TT Thompson, now there is still room to sign or trade to get a big-name player, and hit another championship..."

Seeing Bill Simmons’ Twitter, Su Yang thought about it for a while and found that the idea was not bad, especially Butler, whose contract is about to expire, can trade with the Bulls, only need to send Wiggins, or sign a contract in the free market. Anthony with oil.

If Butler or Anthony join the Cavaliers in the summer, it will definitely be the biggest obstacle for the Kings to pursue four consecutive championships.

But it's hard to say whether the Cavaliers can have that kind of courage. After all, they need to pay a luxury tax after the transaction, and the Cavaliers have no championship yet.

In a blink of an eye, on June [-]th, Game [-] of the Kings and Cavaliers Finals kicked off at the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland.

After the appearance ceremony was finished, the lights were turned on, and Su Yang called the whole team to surround him, "We are leading 2-0, and now we are on the road. Winning this game is equivalent to winning the series. For the Cavaliers, if they lose this game It is equal to going home. They are stepping on the edge of the cliff to fight. They must go all out. They will give us the strongest impact with the help of home shouts and cheers, and even the penalty advantage. We must stabilize and reduce unnecessary complaints , to fight with an attitude that must never be relaxed..."

Then the game started.

The king won the jump ball, and the frontcourt shifted from right to left, while the Cavaliers still pinched the ball holder and restricted the pass, striving to fight in a small area and weakening the king's teamwork ability. Intentionally short Antetokounmpo.

The Cavaliers chose to gamble.

Antetokounmpo really failed to hit an open three-pointer. LeBron got the rebound and counterattacked, helping Owen to make a layup.

Turning around, the Kings mainly play inside, hoping that Cousins ​​will be involved in the defense and create more space for the three-point line. I never thought that TT's defense is very tough, and the movements of his hands are not very clean, which made Cousins ​​walk in the end Mistake, ball conversion.

Turning to the Cavaliers to attack again, LeBron found a switch to face Curry, rushed to attract help defense, and helped JR hit a three-pointer.

The Cavaliers started 5-0, and the momentum was quite fierce.

However, the off-ball defense did not keep up, and LeBron made a breakthrough pass error. George and LaVine hit two consecutive three-pointers.

Seeing that the King showed signs of hot hands, LeBron seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly gave up his attempt to assist. Defensive foul.

Owen is also a similar routine, giving up the possible mistakes caused by the pass, and using the king's delay in switching defenses and double-teaming the gap that has not yet formed, and hitting the basket in various ways, he really played well, compared to the second game. Bang Bang shot hit the iron, the performance is much stronger.

Su Yang watched a few rounds, and couldn't help sighing: "Tayron Lue is a good coach, he is prepared and knows how to change..."

Assistant coaches Mike Brown and Di Brown nodded in agreement after hearing the words. The Kings coaching staff wanted Tyronn Lue to applaud. From the first game to the third game, the Cavaliers' defensive strategy changed from choking three-pointers to local restrictions, and the offensive side changed from team to team. Ultimate, never give up.

Between you and me, despite Cousins' 2 fouls and the team's 6 fouls, the Kings still lead 39 to 32.

For the Cavaliers, LeBron usually scored 16 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, while Irving scored 12 points. Others Love, T Thompson, JR and others only scored 4 points in total. Maximize your individual abilities.

The rhythm of the second quarter did not change much. LeBron played 12 minutes, made 6 of 4 shots, plus two free throws, and scored a total of 11 points. Irving made 7 of 5 shots, plus 1 free throw. to 11 points.

The Cavaliers team only had 2 assists, and only 6 assists in the entire first half. Anyway, I believe LeBron is done.

But the problem with that operation is visible to the naked eye. When LeBron walked to the player channel, he was panting and exhausted.

The Kings also failed to expand their advantage in the second quarter. The main thing is that Antetokounmpo got 2 fouls, and the team fouled 7 times. 68 leads the Cavaliers.

Back in the locker room, Su Yang once again emphasized that LeBron's physical strength is not enough to fight at high intensity for four quarters.

Cousins ​​and others were quite convinced. After all, with the first two games as examples, the Cavaliers' physical strength would always drop sharply, and the Kings played a wave.

When the third quarter started, LeBron stretched his stride as Su Yang predicted, and hit the iron one after another, but Irving stood up and made 10 of 7 shots. He scored 16 points with free throws and 2 assists. The Cavaliers overtook the Kings by 5 points.

The king lost 11 points in a single quarter. The main reason was that every main force got fouls. In addition, Thomas Jr. and Covington, who came off the bench, made a total of 7 fouls in a single quarter. Su Yang was very angry, but it was Cousins ​​and others. People reassure him that he needs to stay calm.

The game started in the fourth quarter, and the referees were still crazily targeting the Kings. LaVine and Curry received 4 fouls, but on the Cavaliers side, LeBron and Irving were exhausted and their scoring efficiency was greatly reduced. They wanted to drive the Cavaliers. It was no longer possible for others, LaVine and George took the opportunity to score wildly, until at the end with 42 seconds left, Curry made a chasing three-pointer to complete the overtake.

Easy side Cavaliers attack, Irving singled out Curry, failed to score a three-pointer, the King got a rebound and counterattacked, causing a foul.

Curry made two free throws, followed by a timeout for the Cavaliers. After Nai He returned, LeBron failed to score a three-pointer. Victory over 119.

The score in the finals series became 3-0, and the Cavaliers were unable to recover. Su Yang instructed the business director Chris to fly to Cleveland with a championship jersey and a ball cap, preparing to celebrate the King's three consecutive championships, and started preparing for the celebration ceremony by the way.

In the whole game, Curry was brutally targeted. He only made 19 of 9 shots, but he had many free throws. In addition to the last four consecutive free throws, he still scored 30 points, 6 assists, and even 12 rebounds. Up to 31 points and 4 assists, the performance is also amazing.

For the Cavaliers, LeBron scored 39 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds, surpassing the Magician to achieve the ninth triple-double in the Finals, while Irving scored 38 points and 3 assists. Deren, convinced.

At the press conference after the game, when asked whether there would be a special design for the ring for the three consecutive championships, Su Yang replied calmly: "The series is not over yet, we will not consider such things for the time being, we will go all out in the fourth game, no would be presumptuous…”

With that answer, the reporters on the scene responded with smiles.

All kinds of social media jokes are flying, thinking that Su Yang is the best pretender of the year.

After a day off, the King and the Cavaliers started the fourth battle.

Unexpectedly, the Kings had 12 fouls in the first quarter, three of whom had 2 fouls on their backs, trailing the Cavaliers 33 to 49, and almost allowed the Cavaliers to hit a record of 50 points in a single quarter. Couldn't use it.

After three and a half quarters of hard work, Su Yang decided to give up early, and the King finally lost to the Cavaliers 118-139.

It is a pity that he failed to win the away cup, so Chris made a trip for nothing.

Su Yang was so angry that he laughed and waved at the Cavaliers fans as he left the court and shouted: "Cleveland, see you next year!"

　Seeing the performance of Harden and Westbrook's hot eyes recently, I feel that the content of the opening article is more interesting!
