The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 256 Tactical Questions
It's not that the Cavaliers can't defend inside, it's just that the defensive rotation is not so neat.

But don't think about it at the beginning of the second half, Ryan Anderson is the bench player.

After falling behind at halftime, James directly exerted his strength in the third quarter.

The Pelicans have three guards on the outside, and Tyreke Evans can't handle James regardless of height and weight.

It's easy to say that he can't bear it. Evans' strength is probably not as strong as Zhang Xiaotian's. James, who can resist the inside line, almost runs over him directly.

Anthony Davis is very good in defense, but Love restrains him on the outside, and the Pelicans keep Asik, who is much worse in defense, inside. It is difficult to stop James.

So they have to go to Ryan Anderson, let Anderson defend Love, let Anthony Davis help defend in the paint.

In other words, Anthony Davis must work hard on both the offensive and defensive ends.

When the core is so tired, most of the time the opponent will not let people get what they want.

The Cavaliers play a senior and a junior, so no one is left in the paint, and Anthony Davis still has to come out.

Of course, only Love can play like this when he hits five. If Varejao and Tristan Thompson face Anthony Davis, they will try to consume as much as possible and exhaust him to death.

So in the third quarter, Anthony Davis was alone, and the Cavaliers took the opportunity to overtake the score and control the situation.

Proud of James' aggressiveness, the rest of the Cavaliers also got a better chance, especially Irving.

Looking at the current trend, when James went to the Heat, it took a season to deal with his good brother Wade, becoming the most unique person on the team, and it may not even take half a season to deal with Irving.

Young people are still too immature, but if there is a championship, it is actually worth it.

The Pelicans still want to make a fuss about the bench lineup, but it's a pity that Ryan Anderson is focused on marking, and the others are useless.

In the fourth quarter, it wasn't just Irving and James, Love came to the touch, Zhang Xiaotian also started to score against Gordon, and the Pelicans' defense suddenly collapsed.

The only strong point of the opponent is Anthony Davis. The Cavaliers use Tristan Thompson as the main defense. It is okay to liberate Love and sacrifice a role player.

There was basically no suspense in the next game, and the Cavaliers also won 118:105.

The Big Three scored 86 points together, and Zhang Xiaotian also scored 15 points. This state makes the team look very good.

The team played well, but West was embarrassed when he didn't play.

The team seemed to run better without him, and it did.

If it weren't for the team's lack of ball-holding points on the bench, David Blatt would have wanted to further reduce Waiters' role and focus on the European-style play of sharing the ball. West is the most unsuitable.

Although James didn't like it, he still didn't give up on this buddy and reminded him from time to time during training.

Players who are already considering their historical status are different from others.

Next, the Cavaliers will play back-to-back again, first going to Boston to play away games.

The Celtics did not make any big moves in the summer, but academic coach Brad Stevens achieved good results in teaching young people.

Their start was not bad, but if you look at the annual salary of the players, it is very good.

The Celtics both have three-pointers on the inside, and they are not very easy to defend on the offensive end. However, their No. [-] Rondo has a lower shooting rate from the outside than the inside, which can be regarded as a point that can be targeted.

Zhang Xiaotian has to face a very pure defender again. Bradley's first step is also extremely fast. He must be careful in defense, and he can use strength to bully the opponent on the offensive end.

At the beginning of the game, James overwhelmed Jeff Green.

At the small forward position, Jeff Green is obviously not as fast as James.

It's just that the Celtics have a lot of players. When the main player is playing, the Cavaliers' main force is too strong, but it is too obvious when they are on the bench.

Brandon Bass, Marcus Thornton, Evan Turner, these are all capable.

In contrast, West on the Cavaliers side was not playing well, and after being repeatedly taught by James, his mentality was a little hesitant, and the Celtics immediately took control of the situation.

When the main force came back, the Cavaliers began to fill in the holes.

The Celtics' two insiders can shoot from the outside, and their single defense is not too bad, but they have no help defense.

There is no player to help defend, and the strength and speed of the main defensive team are not good enough. No one can beat James in the third position, so James can do whatever he wants.

When it was long, it fell behind by more than 10 points, but it all chased back.

Zhang Xiaotian also made a contribution, and he found himself getting more and more comfortable in the second position.

Even if the pace is a little slow, the height and arm length can make up for it.

Anyway, the tall ones on the back line are generally not fast, and everyone with good footsteps is not as strong as him. Except for a few ruthless players, he has no problem facing most of the second positions in the league.

Compared with the troubles on offense, the Cavaliers have bigger problems on the defensive end.

Love and Tristan Thompson can also defend, but sometimes the effect is not so good.

In terms of defense, the Cavaliers are not as good as the previous Heat.

James is playing the third position now, and he can't help defend as much as he did in the Heat. The Cavaliers must find a way from another aspect.

During the intermission, David Blatt also spoke earnestly, hoping that the players could bring out the essence of training.

Fucking the main force is not what a technical coach like him should do, but he has already done it for victory.

It stands to reason that the NBA's role players are also very strong, so why can't they play in Europe.

In terms of defense, it may be a problem with the team's configuration. Maybe there should be a big man who can block shots. Maybe the team's defense can be more mad dog.

David Blatt's face is watery. The key is that the team can't completely transform according to his ideas.

It shows that James is a privileged player and affected his plan. The root cause is that the player management wants to record and cannot give him enough time.

The management is consistent with James on this point. The Cavaliers have invested so much in the summer, and it is impossible to return without collecting more capital.

Fans don't care what tactics the team uses, what they need is victory.

Tactics are naturally good if you win the battle, but if you lose, it's nothing to say.

What makes David Blatt even more sentimental is that he feels the Celtics players are playing better for him.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Cavaliers tried to increase their intensity.

But what I didn't expect was that the Celtics played an extremely smooth offense, and the Cavaliers couldn't beat them at all.

Especially for guards like Rondo, Irving really doesn't know how to restrict them.

The point guard goes in, the inside goes out, the Cavaliers are going to faint.
