Chapter 768 Finals G1
Although the Cavaliers have lost Love, they still have James and Irving, and they still have great strength.The Grizzlies didn't think that they could easily beat the Cavaliers just because they defeated the Heat twice in the finals. Before the game, many things were unknown.

January 6, FedEx Arena.

The final G1 of the Grizzlies VS Cavaliers is about to start.

CCTV5 broadcast the game live, and the host Yu Jia and the guest Zhang Weiping were responsible for the on-site commentary.

Yu Jia increased the volume: "Everyone in front of the TV, the scene is very noisy. Director Zhang and I will explain the game live for you at the FedEx Arena in Memphis. It is now the first game of the 2014-15 season finals. There is not much time left, and the players of the two teams are practicing."

The two sides seem to be very relaxed. There is Mike Miller, the old Grizzlies player in the Cavaliers team. He chatted with Xie Kai and other old acquaintances for a while. This venue is almost like a home court for him.

Because of the finals, Director Zhang also came out to comment. Although the Lakers did not make it to the finals, he is still very happy to be able to comment in this level of competition.

"Director Zhang, what do you think of the first game of this finals?" Yu Jia asked.

Director Zhang replied with a smile: "Momentum is very important. The momentum at the beginning of the game can lay a good foundation for the game. The deeper the game, who can control the rhythm of the field and play more reasonably, will be able to win the game." .”

Yu Jia continued to ask with a smile: "Director Zhang, would you like to predict who will score more, Xie Kai or James?"

Director Zhang smiled and said: "I choose Xie Kai, Xie Kai's scoring ability is stronger, he is more like Kobe!"

Yu Jia: "..."

Soon, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.

The starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is: center - Marc Gasol, power forward - Zach Randolph, small forward - Jeff Green, shooting guard - Xie Kai, point guard - — Mike Conley.

Mr. Tony, who started in G6 and G7 of the Western Conference finals, was a substitute in this game, and Randolph returned to the starting lineup.This is actually the prediction of many experts before. The Warriors played 5 small lineups, and the Black Bears were severely targeted.However, the opponent in the finals, the Cavaliers, played a regular lineup. There are two traditional insiders, Mozgov and TT, so the Black Bears should start.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers for the away game is: center - Timofey Mozgov, power forward - Tristan Thompson, small forward - LeBron James, shooting guard - Iman Shannon Porter, point guard -- Kyrie Irving.

Because Love was reimbursed for the season, TT, who was originally on the bench, started the game. In these games that TT started, although there were not many offensive methods, the offensive rebounds were really fun, and they were full of vitality, which is considered an iron man.

The game started immediately, the starting players from both sides appeared on the stage, the fans of the home team in the stands cheered thunderously, and the atmosphere on the scene was quite good.

The words of the finals and the pictures of the championships have been printed on the floor of the FedEx Arena, symbolizing the official arrival of the finals.

No matter how many games this series will play, but at most 7 games, the 2014-15 season will be completely over.

Mozgov and the White Bears prepare for the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.

From the Western Conference finals to the finals, fans saw a few Dabai jumping the ball, and it was not surprising.Today's NBA is becoming more and more international, and foreign insiders have become the regular configuration of each team.

Mozgov is 29 years old this year, with a height of 216, and is a Russian center.His NBA career started with the Knicks. On July 2010, 7, he reached a signing agreement with the Knicks, with a three-year contract worth $4 million.

By 2011, he was traded to the Nuggets and then to the Cavaliers in the middle of the season.He started 80 games this season, averaging 9.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was 55.5%.

Mozgov's characteristics are a bit like the Grizzlies' backup center Koufos. He is mainly defensive, and the offensive end is mainly based on eating cakes under the basket. He has a certain ability to attack independently, but it is not enough to digest a lot of ball possessions. A dedicated defensive center.

The Cavaliers are also stumbling this season. Originally, their starting center was Brazilian actor Varejao.But because Varejao was reimbursed for the season due to an Achilles tendon injury, he had to trade for defensive center Mozgov.

Mozgov's role is to protect the rim on the defensive end, do the dirty work, and wipe the ass of his defensive All-Star power forward teammate Love.

At the start of the jump ball, Mozgov beat the White Bears with the jump ball, and the Cavaliers won the first wave of offensive balls.

Owen slowly dribbles over.

Mozgov came up to the pick-and-roll, Owen used the pick-and-roll to go around the screen, and then directly made a jumper with an emergency stop-yes!
The Cavaliers scored first!
Yu Jia said with a smile: "The Cavaliers' style of play is completely different from that of the Warriors. It is simple and direct."

Conley came over with a dribble, and it was the Cavaliers' perimeter defender Iman Shumpert who opened the defense.

Shumpert, like Mozgov, was traded to the Cavaliers in the mid-term.At that time, the Cavaliers used the No. 4 pick Waiters to trade for "New York Brothers" JR and Shumpert.

Shumpert is more defensive, while JR is more offensive. The two have very different styles, but the same thing is that they are both very strong in physical fitness.

After Love's reimbursement for the season, he had a great impact on the Cavaliers' offense, but the impact on the defensive end was so small that it was almost negligible.Even without him, the team's defense is better, especially the interior defense.As we all know, Love is an inside cash machine. The defensive end is limited by his physical fitness, and his lateral movement and slow bounce speed make his frame protection extremely poor, and his defense against the outside line is often passed by one step.

After TT started, the Cavaliers' defense is already very good. Irving's single defense is still passable, but his consciousness is poor, and he is easy to get confused when defending pick-and-rolls.

The white bear catches the ball from a high position, and makes an inside pass to the low post black bear!

Black Bear catches the ball, faces TT's defense, uses his footsteps, points up the opponent, and licks the basket with a low hand-hit!
The two sides started the game with a 2:2 tie!
Yu Jia laughed and said, "Randolph really has been holding back for a long time!"

Director Zhang said: "High-low is what we call high and low positions. Let Gasol go to the high position to support, which can open up defenders for Randolph in the low position."

On the Cavaliers' side, Irving continued to shoot mid-range shots through single-block screens, but this time he was interfered by Conley-no!
But TT grabbed the offensive rebound!He gave the ball to James outside the 3-point line on the right wing, and the ball still belonged to the Cavaliers.

James held the ball and faced Jeff Green, TT came out to pick and roll.

James broke through with the ball, and the bears surrounded him inside. He distributed the ball to Shumpert in the corner!

Shumpert faced Xie Kai, broke through with the ball, was forced to stop, and gave it to Owen on the outside.

Irving made a fancy operation and shot a 3-point shot-strike the iron!
