Super Role Player

The Cavaliers fought three games in a row and lost three games in a row, each loss worse than the last.

With no hope of winning in sight, the Cavaliers did not sum up themselves. Instead, they started to have internal strife...

LeBron James asked the team to fire David Blatt, but the general manager of the team, David Griffin, naturally refused. It is obviously a taboo to fire the coach before the Eastern Conference Finals is over, and David Griffin is very angry with LeBron James. Brown James also disagrees with the request. He does not think David Blatt has done a poor job. On the contrary, David Griffin believes that the most suitable head coach for the Cavaliers at this stage is David Blatt.

If it weren't for David Blatt, the Cavaliers would be in danger of even making the Eastern Conference Finals.

In terms of coaching ability, David Griffin still approves of David Blatt, the champion coach who returned from Europe. At least, he has good stuff. The European champion is good stuff, but what does LeBron James have? Four overall runner-up trophies?

As for being unable to beat the 76ers, David Griffin believes that it is more due to the gap in strength. The 76ers are too strong. In other words, Anxi is too strong. Now Anxi is at least equivalent to two peak players. Brown James is so strong.

David Griffin even believes that, if nothing else, Anxi will surpass Michael Jordan in modern basketball!

David Griffin, who couldn't see any hope, saw LeBron James's ugly behavior and thought to himself: Should he persuade Mr. Dan Gilbert not to renew his contract with LeBron James? In the next few years, he would do his best to Accumulate young and talented players and wait for Anxi's peak dominance to end...

But after thinking about it, I found it unrealistic.

Anxi is now 27 years old and has just begun to reach his peak. A basketball player's peak usually takes several years around the age of 30. A superstar like Anxi usually does not reach his peak until after he is 33 years old. In other words, Anxi will dominate this league for at least 6 years!

After six years of waiting? Maybe Dan Gilbert will agree, but those LeBron James diehards in the city won't agree, right?

…

In the fourth game, the Cavaliers had already begun to fight internally. David Blatt did not fire him in the end. It was impossible for general manager David Griffin to risk the disapproval of the world, break the rules, and fire the coach before the Eastern Conference finals were over. of.

But David Blatt was still ignored in this game. The pre-game arrangements were made by LeBron James under the instruction of the team's chief assistant Tyronn Lue. After the game started, David Blatt had no rights to direct. Almost all Substitutions were made at the behest of LeBron James.

But the score was not satisfactory, and there was no suspense. After halftime, the 76ers were already leading the Cavaliers by a big score.

In fact, at this stage of the game, the idea of ​​​​the Cavaliers is no longer to win the game, almost everyone has their own ideas.

What LeBron James thinks is: He is the emperor of this team, and everyone must obey him without any disobedience. But now, David Blatt is obviously a rebellious traitor, and he must eliminate David Blatt. Rat.

David Blatt is very aggrieved. In Europe, he is the championship coach. He has the final say on almost everything in the team, and the top stars in the team have to respect him. But in the NBA, with the Cavaliers , LeBron James is the emperor here, and LeBron James has the final say in almost everything.

LeBron James came later. As soon as he came, the team sent away Andrew Wiggins and signed the Royal Salute Group including Mac Miller and James Jones. This is actually not David Blatt. Want to see.

He is a European coach who advocates team basketball more, so he hopes that the team's ball rights can be dispersed rather than concentrated in the hands of one player, which is what he is good at.

But because of LeBron James' own system, the Cavaliers' team basketball can only be called pseudo-team basketball. LeBron James controls the ball with one hand, and the Royal Salute team catches and shoots. David Blatt simply cannot perform his best. Strengths.

Even Kevin Love made adjustments accordingly.

He changed his style and became a high-powered player who can only shoot three-pointers from the outside.

Kelly Irving has also lost his status as the boss and can only occasionally catch the ball and play in isolation. Most of the time, Irving plays awkward basketball in a system that he is not good at and is outside the system.

In fact, the Cavaliers' book strength is indeed stronger than that of the 76ers, even better.

But the Big Three have not been able to achieve 1+1+1=3, or even 2. On the contrary, although the 76ers only have two All-Stars, the cooperation between Anxi and Pau Gasol can be 1 +1 is greater than 2, and with those good role players, it can even be greater than 3 or 4.

This is actually the real gap between the 76ers and the Cavaliers, and the real gap between Anxi and LeBron James.

Everyone is saying that LeBron James is omnipotent, but in fact, LeBron James can only be omnipotent in his own system. Unlike Anxi, he can be omnipotent in any system and do whatever the team needs him to do. What can you do, this is the true sense of omnipotence.

Anxi's personal statistics are luxurious, and the 76ers also play team basketball. Unlike the pseudo-team basketball of the Cavaliers, the 76ers' team basketball is team basketball that can truly play the role of role players, isn't this? Lou Williams also won the Sixth Man of the Year award under the 76ers' team basketball.

In the fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals, with a big score behind at halftime, the game became no suspense.

Anxi completed the check-in after three quarters. He scored 42 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, directly helping the 76ers lead the Cavaliers by 37 points in the third quarter. After three quarters, the Cavaliers had no hope of comeback, so the 76ers naturally replaced all the players. Substitute, spent the last quarter of the game.

In the end, the 76ers defeated the Cavaliers in an away game in Cleveland and won the Eastern Conference Finals series.

This series was unexpectedly easy, which also made Anxi feel relaxed. Before the finals, the 76ers really didn't encounter any decent resistance. This is different from last year. Last year, the 76ers went through various obstacles. Despite all the odds, he entered the finals as a dark horse.

This season, with everyone's expectations, the 76ers have swept through their enemies in the Eastern Conference.

Next, their opponents will be the winners of the Warriors and Rockets.

Whether it is the Warriors or the Rockets, this will be a new opponent. Stephen Curry and James Harden are the core of these two teams. Each of them has never led a team to the finals. Only James Harden has followed them. The Thunder made it to the Finals once, but in that Finals, James Harden was just the Sixth Man of the Year.

Two brand-new opponents, for the 76ers, the finals are still unknown, but they are very confident in themselves. After all, the 76ers have always swept the three-round series in the Eastern Conference, and the opponents in the Western Conference will not be too strong. People still have enough confidence to win.
