Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"As for the rest..."

Coach Scott continued: "Just be careful not to miss anyone. The Cavaliers' style of play is actually similar to that of the Rockets and Thunder, except that the ball-handling core is not Harden and Westbrook, but James."

"He also scores points, rebounds and assists. He is very good at creating opportunities for his teammates. The ball is in his hands, and his teammates hardly attack on their own."

"So we just need to switch defense quickly and not miss any players."

Everyone responded.

Coach Scott paused and continued, "On the offensive end, follow our tactics. Our lineup is more balanced than the opponent's. Don't follow the opponent's rhythm, just follow our rhythm. Move the ball more and try to get the ball to the advantage point."

"Zhuang Yu, you have to be more aggressive at this point. People are watching you."

Zhuang Yu nodded calmly.

Seeing that there was no sign of nervousness on his face, Coach Scott nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it, get ready to play."

Everyone shouted in unison: "The Lakers will win!"

......

On the other side, Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue was also arranging tactics.

Love's return is good news for the Cavaliers, otherwise their lineup would be much inferior to that of the Lakers.

Especially on the offensive end, the Lakers have Lopez inside, and without Love, the Cavaliers only have Tristan Thompson inside, who is good at defense and rebounding, but scoring is not his strong point, and he mainly relies on catching the ball, so he will definitely suffer a loss against Lopez.

Another point is that although Love is an inside player, he has an excellent three-point shot and can create space for the team on the court.

What does LeBron James' favorite teammate look like?

It’s no secret that his favorite thing is pitching.

There is such a theory in the outside world, what kind of lineup is best for James? That's simple, just give him four shooters, the so-called one star and four shooters is like this.

"On defense, we have to focus on preventing the opponent's three-pointers. The Lakers' three-pointers are very strong, especially Zhuang Yu. We must not let him shoot three-pointers easily."

"Also, we need to provide timely assistance to Lopez and not let him easily single out in the low post..."

After making some arrangements for defense, Tyronn Lue's eyes swept over the players one by one, and finally fell on James, saying: "Control the rhythm and play more reasonably, LeBron, this is up to you."

James nodded calmly.

This is nothing to him.

This is how the team played the past three series, and the reason why Coach Tyronn Lue made such a simple arrangement was because of the experience from the previous three series. The other players were in such bad shape that they couldn't play much of a role, so they could only rely on James.

......

The game officially started and players from both sides came onto the field.

The Lakers still have their regular starters, Holiday, Zhuang Yu, Korver, Anderson, and Lopez.

The Cavaliers sent out George Hill, JR Smith, LeBron James, Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson.

There was a jump ball first, and the Cavaliers got the ball first.

After Hill advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he immediately passed it to James, allowing James to organize and initiate the offense.

James didn't rush to attack. He first observed the defense and then called a pick-and-roll. TT (Tristan Thompson) mentioned the pick-and-roll and James moved to the right. The Lakers immediately helped defend and shrank the defense to prevent James from rushing.

Seeing this situation, James was not in a hurry. He pretended to break through, attracted the defense, and then passed the ball to JR Smith.

JR Smith took the ball and shot a three-pointer, which was very decisive. However, the ball missed the target and bounced out of the basket, and Lopez got the rebound.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, a figure flashed in front of Zhuang Yu and JR Smith pounced on him.

"Heh..." Zhuang Yu chuckled and couldn't help but glance at James. Then he ran back to get the ball and went for a one-on-one play.

If it was James defending him, he might hesitate, but since it was JR Smith, there would be no need for that.

However, the Cavaliers did not expect that JR Smith alone could defend Zhuang Yu, so they quickly provided help defense. However, Zhuang Yu did not care. He made a series of changes of direction to pass JR Smith, then directly pulled up for a mid-range fadeaway shot.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

......

In the next few rounds, James did not attack by himself, but tried to organize and connect to help his teammates find their form.

It was thanks to him that the Eastern Conference Finals was dragged into a Game 7, and it was also thanks to him that the team won the Game 7. His performance was indeed explosive, but it also consumed a lot of physical energy.

Now in the finals, facing the stronger Lakers team, not to mention whether James can do it alone, physical fitness is also a problem.

Therefore, the Cavaliers' offensive strategy is very clear. James is not in a hurry to attack himself, but to attract defense, create opportunities for his teammates, and let his teammates attack first.

If his teammates can open up, then he will naturally feel much more relaxed.

He will only take action if his teammates are unable to open the scoring.

After just a few rounds, the other players on the Cavaliers were obviously not in good shape. JR Smith missed a three-pointer, Love also missed a three-pointer, and Hill's breakthrough was almost blocked by Lopez... After several rounds, the Cavaliers didn't score a single point.

On the contrary, the Lakers scored 7 points and started with a 7:0 lead.

This made coach Tyronn Lue frown. He made a gesture to the court, and James understood and started attacking.

After coming to the frontcourt, James asked his teammates for the ball and then called a pick-and-roll.

After TT came up for a screen and roll, James moved to the left, and Lopez of the Lakers went up to delay him. James was not in a hurry to break through, but observed the defense and also mobilized Lopez's footsteps, and then suddenly dribbled between his legs and accelerated.

With a whoosh, James rushed past Lopez, then hugged the ball, took three steps into the inside and jumped up.

Anderson came to defend, James jumped up, confronted Anderson in the air, knocked Anderson away, and then made a layup with his left hand.

"It looks like James is going to start attacking."

"Be careful, James."

In the audience, the home fans all saw it.

They shouted across the court, alerting the Lakers players.

Zhuang Yu exchanged glances with several teammates and decided to strengthen the defense against James.

......

boom!

There was a dull thud, and the Lakers missed the shot.

TT grabbed the rebound and passed it to Hill, but James had already made a quick move. Hill pushed the ball to the frontcourt with both hands.

At this time, Zhuang Yu and Holiday had already retreated to their own half, but James didn't slow down at all when he got the ball, and went straight to the basket like a tank.

Zhuang Yu was knocked away, and Holiday tried to block the shot, but failed. Under the siege of the two, James made another layup...
