Build a Dream Dynasty

The Nets attacked, and the Cavaliers chose to change their defensive strategy. Stephenson was in charge of chasing Curry, and Irving was in charge of Robertson, who had no active offensive ability. In the subsequent offense, Irving can also choose to pinch the ball holder to let him go, and hand it over to James for delay. In this way, the Cavaliers' defensive system will be as complete as possible and the loopholes will be minimized.

After the pick-and-roll, Robertson caught the ball from outside and faced the most difficult choice in his life. After hesitating for half a second, he passed the ball to the bottom corner. Curry had already moved there, staring at Stephenson's defense and forced a shot. In the middle, James retracted and protected the rebound.

The Cavaliers attacked, James forcibly broke through Leonard, attracted double-teams and then divided the ball. Thompson, who was unguarded, easily hit the board and scored, 8:7.

Stevens directly called a timeout, and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Robertson!

It is a big burden for the teammates who have worked so hard to create opportunities for him not to shoot this kind of wide-open opportunity. Whether he can make a shot is one thing, but whether he dares to make a shot is another. The former backbone of the Nets' defense, Dream Chaser Green, is also not good at mid-range and long-range shots, and he also catches more outside shots than Robertson, but for outside three-pointers, he is in a state of no burden at all. How should he shoot? No matter how he shoots, the actual effect of his containment effect on the opponent's defense is better than that of Robertson.

Robertson was off, and Stevens was replaced by Yi Jianlian. Compared with Ilyasova and West, Yi Jianlian's mobility was slightly better, and he did not use the more experienced West or the better-shooting Ilyasso Watts, it can also be seen that Stevens' strategy in this game is still mainly defensive.

A serious inside player came on the stage, and Irving couldn't switch to the power forward position. Curry and Yi Jianlian took away Griffin after a pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to Yi Jianlian who was running down. The follow-up shot against Thompson, a series of smooth moves, is almost the most beautiful goal Yi Jianlian has scored since returning to the Nets. On the way back to the defense, George also excitedly gave him a high-five to express his congratulations.

The Cavaliers attacked, and the others pulled away. Griffin singled Yi Jianlian face-to-face. Facing Yi Jianlian's defense and Porzingis' supplementary defense, he forced the ball into the basket and caused Yi Jianlian to foul. Robertson and Yi Jianlian were standing at the power forward position. , has suffered three consecutive fouls in a short period of time, and it can also be seen how much pressure the Nets have on this position.

Griffin made a free throw and the Cavaliers took the lead. The Nets immediately evened the point difference. Curry missed a shot from the outside. Rebound the ball, then dunk the ball into the basket.

Once upon a time, Griffin was also the one who fell from the sky and knocked Gasol off his back. Now, facing Porzingis, who is younger and has better physical conditions, he will also encounter his own problems.

In the first quarter of the game, relying on the efficient performance of the Big Three on the offensive end, the Cavaliers still maintained the balance of power on the scene, and ended the first quarter with a 29:28 lead of 1 point.

Although the score is still in a relatively balanced situation, Cavaliers head coach David Blatt can clearly feel the danger. In the first quarter, James and Griffin played for 11 minutes, and Thompson, who was under a lot of pressure on the defensive end, Played 10 minutes, did not follow the normal rotation. Compared with the high-end game of the Nets, there are more people available. A pair of veterans of the Cavaliers seem to be more lively, but they are still useless when they really fight. There are many people.

Bogut, who joined with a basic salary, is a typical example. In most games, his frame protection is of great help to the team, but it is useless against the Nets. The same is true for Lai. The Cavaliers can't limitlessly reduce the lineup on the field. After all, the Nets still have a 221 big man on the field. Blatter really feels that Stevens gave two bottles of poison to him. Choose by yourself, which bottle you drink is a dead end.

In the competition of the bench lineup, the Nets are also able to employ people with ease. Teodosic, Van Vleet, Joe Johnson, Ilyasova, Wood, the bench at the peak of the previous few years can compete with other people's main lineup. A little bit worse, but well, it seems that in the top team matchups, most of them have the stronger bench.

Of course, this has something to do with the idea of ​​these teams building their teams in exchange for starlight. The Clippers’ lineup of Dragic, Fernandez, Durant, Green, and Embiid has paid a huge price. The price, naturally, can only be used to strengthen the bench through Taobao. That is to say, the Nets, with Jiang Mingliang's bug, can use their special advantages to poach some people one after another.

The Cavaliers replaced Irving to drive the bench. This period of time is the weakest stage of the Cavaliers. Redick, Crawford, and Channing Frye are all players with James' Royal Salute. Open up the space, and at the same time, James provides some help defense to ensure strength on the defensive end. It is not very easy to use with Irving. Just one Joe Johnson can take turns eating Redick and Crawford with his body without panting. , The Nets completed a wave of 7:0 spurts, successfully overtook the score, and forced Blatt to change back to Griffin in desperation, at least the Nets cannot continue to expand the point difference.

Compared with Irving, Griffin is better at making use of the space created by these Musketeers teammates to make a fuss. After the first round of offense after his appearance, he and Irving found an opportunity through the pick-and-roll cooperation, catching the ball along the way, and scoring a backhand layup. , Helping the Cavaliers narrow the point difference to 4 points.

However, the crux of the Cavaliers' defense is on the periphery. Griffin himself is not an insider with a particularly strong defensive ability. There is not much to do about Joe Johnson ravaging Crawford on the outside. Irving double-teamed in a timely manner, forcing Joe Johnson After receiving the ball, Van Vleet rushed straight to the basket and sent a pass to Bogut's defense. Wood easily hit the board and scored.

If it is placed in the first half of the season, Van Vleet will most likely force himself to make a layup. Fortunately, the team has cultivated him for such a long time and it has had a little effect, allowing him to learn to divide the ball and find teammates with better opportunities. .

Teodosic has a high spirit. After this season, he may not choose to stay on the team as a substitute. Van Vleet should improve himself. Next season, he may not have the opportunity to attack the second point guard. Point guards who have served as Curry's substitute, such as Jeremy Lin, Reggie Jackson, and Dinwiddie, have all been rewarded with big contracts. Van Vleet is also looking forward to the day when he can become a multi-millionaire!

Griffin's appearance only maintained the point difference in the game and did not help the team gain an advantage. This made Blatter a little disappointed. The assistant coach Tyronn Lue on the sidelines decisively called James over to give him an opportunity.

In terms of strength, there is a gap between the Cavaliers and the Nets, and they need to gain some advantages through strategic trade-offs. Two consecutive rounds of duels, desperately defending the home court, first broke the Nets' winning streak, and then strategically gave up Losing the away game, and so on, the Cavaliers still maintain a two-game advantage, and they also have the upper hand in the competition for the first place in the Eastern Conference. If they can keep the No. 1 position in the Eastern Conference, it is very likely that the Nets will have a matchup with the Bucks before entering the Eastern Conference Finals. At the same time, the Cavaliers enjoy home court advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals. Best strategy ever for the Cavaliers.

To win the Nets, it is necessary to increase the playing time of the Big Three. It is impossible to beat the Nets in a regular rotation. However, in this case, Blatter waved his hand and refused to replace James in advance.

"The Nets have four All-Stars, we need LeBron to maintain enough physical strength to fight against them!\

,"It cannot be said that there is a problem with Blatter's thinking. It can only be said that the Nets have really left a deep shadow on him in the past few years, and the team's formation of the Big Three is both an opportunity and a pressure for him. If he can help James win his third personal championship and suppress Curry again, everything will be fine, but if he can't do it, then the head coach of the Cavaliers will be in jeopardy!
