The Cavaliers' lineup flaws are not easy to make up, and if they continue to use two guards, the opponent will play several routines of the Hawks' offense with swing people as the core, and they will not be able to defend well.

Brown's response was to switch to Pavlovich and focus the ball on James and fight with the Suns on offense.

Pavlovich is 203CM tall and weighs 100 kg, which is similar to Hill's body type. His role is relatively simple, that is, to open up opportunities to catch and shoot, and he has a 41% three-point shooting rate in the regular season, but unfortunately he doesn't shoot much.

James used the impact to hit Roy and Hill on the counter-attack, and quickly found the offensive feel to drive the team's offense. After Gasol Jr. went off the court, the Suns' defense in the restricted area was much worse, and James could score and assist his teammates.

Guo Xu's style of play is similar to James's, breaking through again and again to find opportunities, passing the ball to the right position to assist teammates, and shooting one himself when he is sure.

The first quarter was a scorching affair, with the Suns trailing 31-33.

Guo Xu made 2 of 2 shots and got 5 points and 7 assists, Xiao Si made 4 of 8 shots and 2 of 2 free throws to get 10 points and 4 rebounds. Compared with the data of the two, Guo Xu's tactics are more effective, and he may not be able to let FMVP even if he wants to.

The Cavaliers blossomed more, the starting five all scored points, James had 10 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

In the second quarter, James continued to take the bench without rest, and the coaching staff was ready to let him play as much as possible. The Cavaliers have an experience in the first three Finals, and it doesn't make much sense for James to conserve his physical strength, and the next wave of three-point rain for a team like the Suns may enter garbage time, and the final quarter has time to rest.

Guo Xu and Xiao Si rested in the first half of the second quarter as usual, and the Suns sent substitutes, Gasol Jr. and Lowry played blocking and pick-and-roll, and the other three were Haslem, Morrow, and Green.

James scored consecutive points to open the score, and D'Antoni was forced to replace the underperforming Green and replace Hill against James, still at a disadvantage.

Against James, the lighter Green and Moon couldn't bear it, and Hill suffered in speed, and it was only when the Suns' two starters returned to the court that the situation was stabilized.

The Suns fell behind 60-63 at halftime, Guo Xu had 6 points and 3 assists in the second half, and Xiao Si had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, helping the team bite the score. Guo Xu scored a double-double in the half, and Xiao Si's 18 points and 6 rebounds were also good.

James exploded in the quarter, shooting 7-of-8 from the field and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line, scoring 16 points and 2 rebounds, and he scored 26 points in just one half.

In the third quarter, James and Boozer's offense was still not good for the Suns. James had 13 points, two rebounds and two assists, and Boozer also had 14 points and two rebounds.

The Suns were single-defense, allowing the Cavaliers to score a single point from the outside, but the Cavaliers scored 31 points in a single quarter with only two stars and Vallejo's four points.

The Suns were on the side, with 8 points and 4 rebounds, and a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds in the third quarter.

Guo Xu made 3 of 4 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, scored 8 points and 3 assists, and 19 points, 13 assists and 1 steal in the third quarter, completely suppressing the two point guards of Mo Williams and Gibson.

Like the point guards of other teams, Guo Xu, who is serious about the two of them, is also very depressed and can't play his strengths. Especially a guard like Gibson, who has poor organizational skills and relies on shooting, has no way to be left behind by Guo Xu.

The margin still didn't widen, and the Suns trailed 90-94.

Yu Jia said: "This Finals Cavaliers can finally compete with the Suns, James played the best single game in the individual Finals, and today he hopes to score more than 50 points, which is already 39 points." ”

Zhang Reasonable said: "Guo Xu should be able to cut off the big two doubles, he is very selfless, and he feels that he has not yet made a force." The Cavaliers had to limit him if they wanted to win, and he didn't shoot much in the first three quarters, with Xiao Si being the first scorer. ”

Yu Jia said: "He had a magical performance of 20 assists per game in the Finals, and the final quarter was the time to test the Cavaliers' overall defense. ”

Everyone guessed that the Suns would arrange tactics for Guo Xu, and D'Antoni did just that, letting Guo Xu command the battle and giving him unlimited shots. He calls his teammates when he needs cover, and if he wants to go head-to-head, the others pull away.

In addition to the simple offensive tactical arrangement, D'Antoni also made an alternative small adjustment to the lineup, which is to make Millsap a cameo as a small forward.

Several small forwards have tried to defend James alone, but it didn't work well. James has relied too much on breakthroughs in the past, and this playoff season has been different in that he has been consistent in the mid-to-long range.

After discussing with assistant coach Thibodeau, D'Antoni decided to let Millsap try, he is similar in size to James, he is a little shorter, James can play small forward, why can't he?

Although Millsap has a standard power forward style of play on the offensive end, with catch-and-shoot and low-post back-to-back play, the Suns don't need him to carry the ball and his offensive tasks can be the same as usual. Xiao Si is a frame-oriented player who does not overlap with his position.

Suns five: Guo Xu, Roy, Millsap, Stoudmeier, Gasol Jr.

Cavaliers five: Mo Williams, West, James, Boozer, Biedrins.

The Suns attacked first, and after Millsapra went out, the Cavaliers' defense was difficult and could only be man-marked, and James followed him.

Guo Xu gave the ball to Roy, who faced West, a three-way threat with a 60-degree face frame on the left, and a dry pull shot after probing. This is an unreasonable style of play, with no cooperation, and the star's singles ability is brought into play. 92 to 94.

The Cavaliers attack, Millsap is close to James, and he won't be squeezed out. As before, James used the crab step, relying on the tempo change to break through the layup and deflect under the interference.

Gasol Jr. won a rebound in the backcourt and passed, Guo Xu quickly advanced to the front court and passed to Roy on the left. Roy received the ball and dribbled to shoot a three-pointer.

Roy's dry pull hand is very high, Westgay can't get it, and the two are close to Roy and can force a breakthrough.

Roy, who knew that his opponent couldn't cover it, was relaxed and well prepared when he shot, and the ball went into the net hollow.

95 to 94. Guo Xu's 15th assist.

Zhang Li shouted: "It's the connection between Guo Xu and Roy again, and the Sun has successfully overtaken the score." ”

Yu Jia said: "It was a miracle move to let Millsap play small forward, he lured James away, and Roy had a good heads-up opportunity. James can't continue to defend Roy, and letting West defend Millsap is a serious misalignment. ”

The Cavaliers attacked, James broke through and was caught in the box, and the ball went out of Biedrins' empty space to shoot iron. While James scored a lot of points, the role player's hands were a little cold, and Biedrins was already lacking in range and shooting close to the box line was not assured.

Vallejo couldn't stay on the pitch all the time, Brown asked Biedrins to come up for a while, and Gasol Jr. waited near the box for him to attack and let him shoot.

Gasol Jr. got the rebound in the position, and Guo Xu passed the ball to Gasol Jr., who was pulled to the high position, and he went to the bottom corner of the left side first, and then slipped to the bottom line to run to the right, and Xiao Si blocked him for a while.

Guo Xu ran to the bottom right corner to receive a pass from Gasol Jr., who had been looking for opportunities to pass the ball to his teammates. Mo Williams has become accustomed to it, and it feels like he will choose to split the ball this time, because Gasol Jr. has led away the high school forward, and in theory, it is an opportunity for Sir to play Boozer.

As a result, Guo Xu didn't have any feints when he got the ball, and immediately jumped for three points, and Mo Williams reacted slowly for half a beat and failed to jump up to block, but only reached out to interfere slightly.

The ball hollowed into the net, Guo Xu's personal 22nd point, 98-94.

Seeing this, Brown hurriedly called a timeout, and they were beaten 8-0 by the Suns......
