Super Heavy Artillery
Vol 3 Chapter 346: Dynasty change
For this finals, everyone is still somewhat disappointed. Especially the Cavaliers! Of course, no one blames them. After all, everyone knows their abilities. Moreover, before the finals, people are more optimistic about the Raptors and Celtics. Who would have thought that James has performed too much! He just eliminated these two teams.
Speaking of which, those Eastern teams in these years have indeed been pressing hard. The Heat, Cavaliers, and James' team have ruled for nearly ten years! During this period, there were not many relatively strong teams that emerged in the East, but they were all fragmented in the end. There are also those amazing stars who have yet to see the hope of breaking out of the East.
However, after this season, everything will become different. It can be seen from this season that the current Eastern Conference is no longer what this Cavaliers can dominate. They were able to beat the Celtics this year. James' performance is certainly a very critical factor, but the Celtics' own factors are the main one. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they were missing two All-Star players! Although Irving's performance in Boston did not meet expectations, he was eventually reimbursed for injury. Hayward was reimbursed for the season after only a few minutes. But these two are still All-Stars. Once Hayward and Irving have taken care of their injuries, under Stevenson's guidance, they will run in with these young people, and the Celtics are really limitless.
This year, it is definitely the last performance of this Cavaliers team in the Finals. Their lineup is fine for the playoffs, but it's limited to this. More importantly, they have no chance to change. Except for James and Love, the other players really have no value in trading. Players like TT and JR who have made great contributions to the Cavaliers' championships have all been awarded big contracts. Now these people are no longer in state, and the original big contract has become a burden that the Cavaliers can't get rid of.
Of course, for the Cavaliers, these players' problems are not the most serious. The most serious thing is that only the last year of James' contract is left! And this year, James has player options. This means that as long as James wants, he can completely jump out of his contract this summer and become a completely free player. The Cavaliers must want to keep James. Whether it is for the team's combat effectiveness or the value of the Cavaliers brand, James deserves them to give the highest contract. However, the Cavaliers' management is very worried now. Because James and his team did not agree with the Cavaliers on the contract.
"It's too early to talk about these things. I have to focus on the current game. Everyone knows that the format is quite unfriendly to us. But the finals are not a two-game game, it is a series, and we still have opportunity."
When James was asked this sharp question after the game, he did not reveal anything. However, almost everyone felt that James would leave the Cavaliers. In fact, this matter is no longer a secret! James has the idea of leaving Cleveland, as everyone knows!
Of course, as James himself said, it is still too early to discuss this matter. Right now, what everyone cares most is not the ownership of this year's championship. Most people would not think that the Cavaliers still have a chance. What they care about is whether the Cavaliers can win one of them when the game returns to Cleveland. Can James avoid another sweep of his career in the Finals?
Of course, countless Cavaliers fans are still looking forward to it! They expect James to change his fate like the Eastern Conference Finals!
But James has run out of ammunition and food! He won the Eastern Conference championship and went all out in the finals. The result is 0:2 behind. Although the Cavaliers were 0:2 behind in the Eastern Conference finals to achieve a comeback. But now in the finals, the Cavaliers' opponent is the Thunder, not the Celtics anymore.
James in the first game of the finals was a bit like James in the sixth game of the 2012 Eastern Conference finals. With a murderous aura, he wanted to fight the next game when most people were not optimistic about the Cavaliers. His performance is also impeccable. 52 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. In NBA history, there are only 6 Finals 50+. Only James did it after Jordan in 1993.
However, the Cavaliers lost the game. After the game, a reporter asked the Cavaliers coach Tyron Lue if it is possible for James to win 60+ in the second game. He replied: "I guess he will. I mean, although it is difficult, every time the team loses, he will come forward and quickly enter the attacking rhythm in the next game to set the tone for the game. We need him to do this. Facing an opponent like the Thunder in the Finals, we need to have the initiative at the beginning of the game."
Although Tylen Lue is often criticized for blindly commanding without tactics ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, as the coach who led the team to the finals for three consecutive years, he knows very well that in terms of the current lineup configuration of the Cavaliers, how to beat the Thunder is possible . But what is ridiculous is that there is only one method he can think of now, that is, James's big explosion, if 50 is not enough, he will run to 60 to kill.
Very helpless, but very real. However, 60+ does not mean take it. In the history of the NBA, the Finals 60+ only once, the Lakers star Elgin Baylor scored 61 points in Game 5 of the 1962 Finals. In other words, under the intensity of the finals, 60+ is a very low probability situation. Especially in today's fast-paced and high-consumption game mode, the opponent is a team of the Thunder level. 60+ is hard to beat, 50+ They are the first person after Jordan.
The Cavaliers are desperate to find someone who can help James. So in the second game, Tylen Lue and James still managed to make some adjustments. James adopted the method of driving his teammates first. He has been looking for teammates in the first quarter of the game to create opportunities for teammates. But the Cavaliers lost even worse than the first game. In the last quarter of the first game, they kept the hope of winning for a long time, and the second game was in the fourth quarter and entered garbage time.
Score 50+, lose; quasi-triple double, still lose. The Cavaliers still did not find a way to win victory from the Thunder. James has achieved the ultimate, but it does not help the trend of the game.
No matter how unwilling the Cavaliers fans are, they must accept the fact that it is time to change the dynasty. In fact, when the Warriors defeated them three years ago, the Cavaliers had become a thing of the past. But James led his brothers to force a wave of life. Now, a team stronger than the Warriors has emerged.
