Chapter 800
Favors' injury caused a lot of trouble for the Celtics.
The Celtics' tactic this season is a truly legendary tactic close to five forwards, with center Al Horford, Favors, Kelly Irving, Jaylen Brown, Tatum, and Smart on the outside.
This lineup is five forwards and guards, with an all-around insider Al Horford.
Both offensive and defensive are super strong.
Although each swingman has its own characteristics and cannot be regarded as truly invincible, the Celtics are so strong that they explode.
In the first two games, the Cavaliers were very helpless when they met the Celtics, and they were pushed to the ground and beat up.
As the core of the former Jazz team, Favors is very strong. Needless to say, he can shoot well, draw fouls skillfully, and pass the ball above the standard line. Once such a forward player is lost, it will have a great impact on the team.
In the third quarter, the Celtics had to change tactics.
Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Smart got more minutes.
But that is precisely where the contradictions arise.
The team's tactics are often set early in the morning, and it is difficult to make a sudden huge change somewhere. Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Smart are not weak, but the balance between the three suddenly broke, and the cooperation is very tacit.
Previously, Favors had a higher possession of the ball and a higher status in the team, so the three started to share part of the possession.
But Favors is injured, this game is not easy to play.
How to divide the ball?
All three are rookies in the past few years. They have been honed for several years. Their strengths are good, and their technical characteristics are not much different. No one agrees with the other.
Kelly Irving is okay with being on the court, and he can barely hold it, but what about after Irving is off the court.
The Celtics' offense quickly became chaotic.
From the fourth quarter of the third game, the Cavaliers reversed the point difference and finally won a victory.
And the victory of this game is also a turning point.
In the fourth game of the Eastern Conference, the Celtics finally recovered slowly after losing the last game. Coach Stevenson is very strong.
In just a few days, a tactical change was made.
The team's possession of the ball was divided without causing major conflicts.
However... an accident happened again.
Owen was injured in this game.
The Celtics collapsed again in the fourth game, and were reversed by the Cavaliers. Jaylen Brown and others were inexperienced, and they would be targeted after making mistakes. The Cavaliers went all out and won the game.
In this way, it was a 2-2 tie.
This is more than that, the two most mature and experienced cores of the Celtics, Favors and Kyrie Irving, are absent due to injuries.
There is nothing to say.
The Cavaliers were originally 0-2 behind, and now they have the advantage.
In the fifth game, the Cavaliers won a decisive victory.
3-2 won the match point.
This is a crucial victory. The Celtics' rookie is still inexperienced. There was a problem with the shot selection at the critical moment, and the Cavaliers caught the opportunity.
Of course, Qin Yang also watched the game.
In fact, the Cavaliers did not play well. It can be said that if the Cavaliers meet the Rockets or the Warriors, they will definitely lose.
But the Celtics couldn't stand it and lost two cores.
In the Eastern Conference finals, at the critical moment, it turned into pecking at each other again.
In the sixth game, the Cavaliers, who had already won the match point, had an upset at a critical moment. Kevin Love shot 15 of 4 from the field and played very poorly.
The other players of the Cavaliers became undercover one by one, watching the Celtics tie the score to 3-3.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, which is the Celtics today.
Even though they knew they might lose this game, they just played, and the swingmen became more and more fierce one by one, piercing through the Cavaliers' defense.
James had a dark face at the press conference after the game and praised the Celtics players.But he didn't say much to his teammates.
After the game, some media broke the news that the Cavaliers fell into infighting.
This is really worse.
Fortunately, in the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics' swingmen made mistakes again. They only wanted to play well, and completely lost their teamwork.
As a result, the hit rate dropped sharply and mistakes continued.
James scored 41 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists in the last game and led the team to overthrow the Celtics.
The Cavaliers eventually advanced to the finals.
After this victory, experts praised James frantically:
"Leading the team into the finals again, James is the greatest tie-breaker in NBA history. In key battles, no one has played better."
"Entering the finals for seven consecutive years, this is a record for active players in the NBA!"
For a moment, James was in the sky again.
However... Qin Yang didn't play a tie-breaker, so how could he have any key performances? Even in the regular season, Qin Yang rarely played in the fourth quarter.
The victory was determined early in the morning, so where did the fourth quarter come from?
And entering the finals, Qin Yang really didn't know what happiness there was. Every time he entered the finals, he would be rubbed on the ground by Qin Yang in the end, and finally watched Qin Yang win the championship. Is there any pride in this?
No, one year Qin Yang was injured and missed the playoffs, and James won the championship that year.
But this is nothing to be proud of!
Things come out in spite of death, and the finals will be confirmed.
Mavericks vs. Cavaliers.
This is the fourth matchup in four consecutive years. In these four years, all the games were duels between the Cavaliers and the Mavericks, and the Mavericks won the first three times.
This is the fourth time, and it is relatively suspense-free.
Before the game, the major media commented on this round of the series, and they were all optimistic about the Mavericks winning the championship, and the gaming agencies did not even start.
TNT experts said very convincingly in the TV program:
"This year's NBA finals will lose any suspense. The Cavaliers are getting weaker and weaker, while the Mavericks are still the strongest. The combination of Bruce Qin and Kevin Durant is the strongest in NBA history. The question now is not whether the Cavaliers can win the championship, but whether the Cavaliers can win the next game."
"As long as the next game is won, it is a victory for the Cavaliers!"
When James saw the show, he almost smashed the TV.
But he held back.
"Savanna, wait two months, let's change places!"
James has made a decision in his heart. The Cavaliers can't stay any longer. If they stay, James will go crazy.In the Cavaliers, James has no hope of beating the Mavericks.
Before the game started, James felt that the game was lost.
This is the saddest thing.
In this kind of thing, James is not as good as Kobe.
Even if Kobe knew that he must lose, he would persist until the last second. Even if he hit the iron fifty times, he would not admit defeat, and would want to fight back next time.
So a Kobe after the league.
