Chapter 705 [Knight 55 Open, Kill the Dynasty]

James' performance from beyond the three-point line was a mess, shooting only 42.9% overall, and after three games, he didn't shoot more than 45% from the field.

After the game, two ESPN experts analyzed the data to explain how big the gap between the Cavaliers and the Suns, and how big the gap between James and Guo Xu is, and it is understandable that the finals are one-sided.

James' playoff true shooting rate is 55.7%, and Guo Xu has 66.8%.

Compared with the offensive methods of the two, half of Guo Xu's shots are outside the three-point line, and his shooting rate is more accurate than James's mid-range shots, and it is not half a star accurate.

James' playoff stats are a bit bizarre, his mid-range shooting is not as good as three-point accuracy, regardless of whether the opponent deliberately relaxes the defense or not, he shoots 33.3% from three-point range, and averages 1.6 shots per game to qualify, while his mid-range shooting is not up to par.

In the playoffs, he averaged 5.8 long-range two-point shots per game for just 28.9 percent and 2.1 mid-range two-point shots for 32.1 percent.

His scoring hotspots are all in the low post and under the basket, or rather, under the basket. He averaged 9 shots per game, hitting 6.5 from the field at 72.6 percent, and shooting 45.5 percent from the low post with just 1.7 attempts.

There is a lack of forward stars in the East, Artest is suspended, Paul Pierce is out of the playoffs, and James singles out the rest of the body to take advantage. There are also few interior stars in the East, and there is only one Ben Wallace on the inside, which is known for its defense in the restricted area, which are two important factors for James to play well.

Previously, James crushed the opponent and scored a lot of points, and Boozer and Big Z could pull away to help him create space. Other teams couldn't keep James in check in order to prevent the Cavaliers from attacking as a whole.

The Suns went to extremes, resolutely preventing James from breaking through, throwing mid-to-long shots casually, choking his death hole. James has few breakthroughs, the Cavaliers' familiar tactics can't be played, and others don't score efficiently.

The Cavaliers are still playing ugly, they are slow to switch offense and defense, they play like a veteran team, and they don't rush to shoot threes when they are behind, as if they are delaying time for the leading Suns. The advantage of playing like this is probably that Guo Xu can't play the rhythm he likes, and he can't cut a super high score.

James didn't want the first Finals of his career to end with a sweep, so he practiced his shooting during the break and sharpened his gun. The rest of the Cavaliers also practiced their shooting and fought for honor.

The one-sided result of the final was a sharp drop in TV ratings, and many fans felt that they didn't need to watch the live broadcast anymore, just wait to watch the news, anyway, it must be the sun hanging the knights.

The basketball celebrities don't watch the live broadcast anymore, and even if the Cavaliers can win one or two games next, it is impossible to turn the tables around after falling behind 0-3. They don't know what to say about Guo Xu in the future, the Suns dynasty is more difficult to establish than the Bulls and Lakers dynasties because of the lineup, even if Guo Xu retires after this season, his historical status can be ranked in the top five in the league.

At the age of 25, he is in the top five in history, and only needs to win two championships in the next 10 years to surpass Jordan in the total number of championships. And judging from the lineup, it is likely that he will win his sixth championship next season and make the Suns the second team in history to win four consecutive championships.

David Stern felt helpless, when Guo Xu said that it was unpredictable to win or lose with the Cavaliers 55, he still felt that Guo Xu was very good. But as soon as the fight started, the interview became a joke.

On the Internet, "Knight 55 Kai" has become a funny meme, just like Duncan's sentence "The future is yours".

Guo Xu would not say to James that "the future is yours". He is not like Duncan, who was born in 1976 and was 31 years old when he won the championship in 2007. Judging from Guo Xu's age, James probably has no future.

Game 4 continues in Cleveland, and David Stern attends the Cavaliers' home court, and the Cavaliers players won't be happy because it means the president thinks the Suns will lift the cup on the road.

The league doesn't want the Cavaliers to be swept, and they can at least save face by pulling one back, and James will be less questioned in the summer. It's not easy for the alliance to praise him to this point, and he doesn't want his popularity to slip.

Now many fans say that James will break through, rely on his body to play, other skills are not good, there are serious problems with his mentality, and the chain will be dropped in key games. The new No. 23 that the league wants to pick up should not make such an impression, this is a superstar of the future.

The Cavaliers' home whistle in this game changed very obviously, just like Guo Xu's previous game Heat vs Mavericks series, Wade won 25 free throws in the crucial fifth game.

Wade shot 84% of 21 of 25 free throws in the game, and although the overall shooting rate was only 39.3%, he killed the Mavericks with a final score of 101-100.

James' forced breakthrough became very sharp, and he couldn't hold it, and he went to the free throw line whenever there was a fierce confrontation. He played the full game, shooting 18-of-24 from the field and 75 percent from the field. He shot 11-of-28 from the field and 1-of-8 from three-point range to finish with 41 points, seven rebounds and six assists.

James finally scored one more time, but it wasn't as efficient. Stern was even more helpless, if Guo Xu was given so many free throws, he would have to score 70+ to break the single-game scoring record in the finals, and the opponent who was punished wanted to die.

The most embarrassing thing is that the Cavaliers lost to the Suns 99-102 in regulation time.

The Cavaliers' defense was very successful, Vallejo and Haslem both fell into foul trouble, and Guo Xu's overall shooting percentage was only 45%, shooting 4 three-pointers. Most of the time, he relied on breakthrough play, launching quick counter-attacks to assist his teammates.

The Cavaliers led by 14 points at most, but in the final half minute, Guo Xu hit a three-pointer to equalize. After Boozer missed the shot, the Suns had a last-ditch chance of five seconds before veteran Kukoc hit a smashing three-pointer.

The Sun relied on double screens to help Guo Xu receive the ball, and then he held the ball and forced a breakthrough, attracting a bag in the penalty area.

The score of the two sides is tied at 99, and the player can take the lead by breaking through the layup or making a foul and scoring a free throw, which is definitely a better deal. The knight blocked Guo Xu's breakthrough and blocked the shooting angle, but he couldn't prevent him from sharing the ball.

Guo Xu passed the ball to the bottom left corner in the gap, and Kukocic received the ball and immediately shot, ignoring the 193CM Ronald Murray side defense interference and hollowing into the net.

As he jumped in the air, Kukoc's basketball career slipped in front of his eyes. (Brother Qi, you're going to die)

He liked basketball at a very young age, and when he grew taller, he entered the basketball team, and after systematic training, he entered the NBA step by step.

Many people said he was not in good physical condition and questioned his ability, and he responded with excellent shots time and time again. He helped the Bulls complete their second triple and won the Sixth Man of the Year award once. In that period, no foreign player was more successful than him, and he became a symbol of international players.

When Jordan retired and Pippen and Rodman left, many people began to question him again. While with the 76ers, Larry Brown even often mocked him, saying that he was terrible defensively. He sank for several years until he joined the Suns.

He still remembers the impression Guo Xu left on him when he first met his teammates, that he was an extremely confident young man.

He remembers the joy of winning his first championship with the Suns in 2004, and now that he is nearing retirement, he is still capable of helping the team.

In the last second, Qi Ge stayed in the air for 20 minutes like Mu Du Gongyan in "Slam Dunk" and scored a key three-pointer.

Twilight Mu just helped Xiangbei enter the national competition, and Qi Ge scored the last goal of his career to help the Sun sweep and win the championship, which is the perfect curtain call!

When the final whistle blew, the Suns rushed on the court to congratulate Kukoc, but they couldn't throw him up to play the trapeze, he was too tall.

The Suns successfully defended their title, and three consecutive championships established a dynasty!
