Chapter 652: The whole TM is a smoke bomb

On May 29, according to Billups, the Clippers were not even going to trap the little emperor, but would only let Ji Guoyan deal with him alone.

Ji Guoqiu faced the interview and then said: "Although we have the advantage, I can feel LeBron's desire to win, any team has such a player, it is difficult to be beaten lightly, so we must watch out for him." The knight's desire for a championship is no one else's, and this desire is the driving force that carries people forward and the motivation to create a miracle. ”

James has been more aggressive than ever this season, scoring a career-high 48 points in the playoffs before averaging 41 points per game in the Eastern Conference Finals to knock the Magic out.

Ji Guoqiu added: "He can score 40 points every night, and he has close to 10 rebounds and 10 assists, he is really a phenomenal player, even more impactful than Jordan back then, so we will be in trouble." Yes, he's so amazing in every way, and he's going to be a big problem for us in every aspect of the game. But even if he is so good, he can't beat us individually, and that's something I firmly believe. ”

From this point of view, the fox brother is likely to take on the task of defending James, ESPN turned out the record of the two people, if converted to 40 minutes of game time, then James can still have 28 points in the account, Ji Guoyan also has 26 points, the table of the two is half a pound and eight taels, which belongs to the category of mutual explosion.

Dunleavy Sr. also revealed: "We're going to rely on Fox to do something that no one else can do, and try to control LeBron, who is in pretty good shape right now." He has a lot of self-confidence. But I think. We're not going to double or triple him. We'll see how Fox defends him. Decide what to do based on the results. ”

Finally, when Ji Guoqiu was asked if he was willing to spare some time to help defend James, Brother Panda said that there was no need for this, and the dead fox should be able to handle it himself. "I'm pretty sure the Clippers aren't going to make any changes to defend LeBron, and you have to respect players like him and be careful with him, but if they want to beat us, they're going to have to rely on the whole team. There's no way LeBron could do that alone. ”

Ji Guoyi was very dissatisfied with ESPN's statistics, because he was completely inferior to James in the first season, but ESPN counted this season as well, so of course he was not as good as James. But if it's only compared to this season's meeting, he can score 30 points in 40 minutes, James can only score 28 points, and his number jΓΉ has the upper hand.

On May 30, there were only 2 days left before the first game of the finals, and Apple chose to release the iPhone 4 at this time, which had jumped for 9 months, and launched pre-sales in 8 countries around the world. But the results were not as good as they could have been. Because Maohu Entertainment just announced on the 29th, during the finals, the flagship model of Extraordinary Panda, which costs up to $549, will be reduced by $50 across the board. It only costs $499 to bring the pandas home.

So what is the pre-sale price of the iPhone 4? The answer is $199 for the contracted machine and $599 for the bare metal, which is $100 more expensive than the current highest-performing Extraordinary Panda, which is enough for many consumers to change their choices, don't think that foreigners don't take $100 in their eyes.

Jobs's angry teeth itched, and the behavior of Cat Fox Technology directly led to the fact that the iPhone4 only got 400,000 units on the first day of booking, which was 200,000 units less than the other time and space.

The trick of cat and fox technology is not over, they officially announced on June 1, they will permanently reduce the price of Gaishi Fox by 50 US dollars, and the 8G version can be bought for only 199 US dollars. Then, it was announced that during the finals, the $399 Red Panda would be temporarily sold by 1 million units. As a result, the number of pre-orders for the iPhone 4 on the third day is much less, and Apple's stock price only rose by 2% yesterday, but today it has fallen back in a blink of an eye, and Jobs has been admitted to the hospital again.

On June 1, fans around the world finally ushered in the much-anticipated NBA Finals, and Clippers fans filled most of the Staples Arena two hours early.

The Cavaliers arrived in Los Angeles two days early and had a closed session in the Lakers' training hall. As for the original owner of the training gym, this will already start a holiday trip. The Cavaliers' training was not open to the media, which shows how seriously the Clevelands take this Finals, and they don't want to throw in the towel lightly.

In the pregame press conference, James repeatedly stressed that they will not be intimidated by the Clippers' regular season performance, and even if the Clippers can beat the Cavaliers at home, they will have to pay a heavy price. However, the Clippers, who talked a lot a few days ago, rarely mentioned the topic of the game today, but instead complimented the Cavaliers and affirmed their performance this season.

Ji Guoyan also rarely did not mock the gorilla, lazily asking and answering, as if he had been caught again, weakly. But today he is really in pain, little Hermione came to the scene to flatter him again, and he will be tortured by the little singer again when he goes home.

The media was puzzled that what the Clippers said at the pre-game press conference was obviously not connected with what they said a few days ago, and they had clearly said that Ji Guoyan could deal with the little emperor alone and did not need to wrap up the gorilla, but today it was as if he had forgotten about it.

Dunleavy Sr. said before the game: "Fox will undoubtedly defend James in the Finals, he is one of the best defensive players in the league, and the two of them will definitely have a spark against each other." ”

Then the whole Clippers team said that they would not let Ji Guoyi feel lonely in the game, Billups said: "No one can defend James on their own, but the whole team of the Clippers will contain the little emperor." Ji Guoqiu also emphasized this issue in an interview, saying: "We will accept the challenge of heavy dΓ  in the finals, but we will not put Fox on an island, no one will say that defending James is his job alone, and the whole team has the responsibility to help him complete this task." ”

The media is speechless, didn't you say that a few days ago, and you forgot it so quickly?

Could this be the real setup of the Clippers, who were all smoke bombs before?

Brown bread also wondered. It's unclear how the Clippers plan to defend James. In the end, it will not be a clip.

But it's not. Because these words at the Clippers' pre-game press conference are still smoke bombs!

In the first game of the finals, the Clippers did not use Ji Guoyi to defend James at all, the two brothers were one on the outside and the other on the inside, the task was to attack and defend properly, and James was completely handed over to Barnes and Hill to deal with.

The two brothers didn't use any special defensive tactics either, just ordinary defense. Normal complement defense and defense, rarely wrap up, and don't even have much time to play joint defense, and the Clippers don't seem to have any special tactics for James at all.

Since the Cavaliers eliminated the Devil, they have spent most of their energy on how to crack Ji Guo's shame and James's single defense, as well as the Clippers' best joint defense, but what makes them at a loss is that the Clippers did not do what they imagined at all, and the defending champion's style of play and the first three rounds have not changed at all, which makes the whole Cavaliers team feel like a punch on cotton.

Barnes' defense is actually pretty good. Although he didn't have the strength to deal with the little emperor, Bowen didn't have this kind of power at the beginning. Barnes learned Uncle Bao's defense, he was like a pair of shackles around James's feet, so that he rarely broke through the gaps and spaces of the jump, and James who lost his bounce was like a shark who lost the ocean, even if he barely hit the basket, he couldn't surpass the two brothers' blocks.

Therefore, the Clippers' defense of James is basically divided into two levels, the fast-paced Barnes is only responsible for James's feet and does not let him jump, and the animal brothers on the Clippers' interior line are only responsible for blocking his shots, hitting up and down, making James like a trapped beast in a cage and a shark in the shallows.

The Spurs, Pistons, and last year's Celtics all used this method against James, and James would pass and assist his teammates at that time, but the effect was not good. Today, the Cavaliers faced the defending champions, and the result was no exception, the emperor's teammates were just as stiff as themselves, and their joints were stiff, and they were once again collectively invisible in front of the Clippers' extensive defense.

In the first quarter of the game, the Clippers put almost all of their offensive focus on the area closer to the basket, and Ji Guoqiu taught Valejo to be a man in two low posts in a row, and opened the door for the Clippers to lead 6:0 with three shots. Then in the competition for rebounds, the Clippers also had an absolute advantage, and Ji Guo's disgraced army grabbed offensive rebounds in a row to deal a heavy blow to the Cavaliers.

At the beginning of the Finals, the players of both teams generally did not feel good, and even the Clippers were under a lot of pressure in such a game, so they played very smartly to the basket.

The Cavaliers also chose to concentrate their forces on the basket after consecutive outside shots in the opening game, but at this time, facing the league's best defensive interior combination, they finally knew why everyone was not optimistic about them, and the interior defensive network composed of twin brothers was far more difficult to break through than the Magic.

Howard jumped higher and had more power than the two brothers, but he was not as good at timing, positioning, and blocking as the animal brothers. On the defensive end, the physical element is only half the other, and the awareness and skill are the other half, and Howard's comprehensive defensive ability is obviously inferior to the two brothers, and the Cavaliers players were quickly wiped out under the basket, except for three blocks by the animal brothers, and nothing was gained.

Why do all teams choose the interior as the core first? It's because on a stage like the semifinals and finals, the defensive intensity will be beyond imagination, and it will rarely give you a comfortable opportunity to shoot from the outside, and the real killing is still on the inside. Only when the inside line is opened first, the outside star can play well, so there is a dominant inside player, and the role will be beyond imagination.

The score was 31:18 in the first quarter, and the Cavaliers were beaten stupidly by the defending champion as soon as they came up, and the two teams didn't seem to be a grade contest at all.

In the second quarter, the old Dunleavy staggered the playing time of the animal brothers, Ji Guoyi hit outside the three-point line at the beginning, and the Cavaliers, who both lost inside and outside, finally had to use the foul to chase points by free throws.

Ji Guosha strengthened his personal attack in the second quarter, but James found that he still couldn't attack the inside line of the Clippers, although the little Jordan was not famous, but his athleticism was no worse than the two brothers.

In the second quarter, the Clippers used Hill to defend James who did not rest, but the Gorilla's breakthrough paid the price for an offensive foul. A player like Hill Sr. can be the icing on the cake for the team at certain points in the game, and his experience and ball intelligence are very useful in playing both tailwind and headwind.

LeBron. James really felt at this moment that it was too difficult to play such a game, he was stronger than in 07, but he couldn't play at all in the face of a combination like the Animal Brothers.

Ji Guoqiu returned to the court later, the pressure on the Cavaliers inside further increased, Milicic was full of confidence before the game, but he really faced Brother Panda, and in less than a minute and a half, he was scored 8 points by Ji Guoqiu, and the Cavaliers began to move towards a 20+ point difference at full speed.

At halftime, the score was 65:40, and the Clippers had a 25-point lead in the first half, and the game was basically out of suspense.

In the third quarter, Billups's "4-point" provoked the two sides to fight on the outside, the difference is that one is freewheeling, the other is forced to be helpless, different mentalities have caused different results, the Clippers also shoot very accurately on the outside, but the Cavaliers frequently hit iron on the outside.

The Clippers hit a total of seven three-pointers in the third quarter, and the Cavaliers only hit two, further widening the gap between the two teams.

By the end of the third quarter, the score had become 97-62, and the Clippers extended their lead to 35 points and outscored the Cavaliers by as many as 15 points in the rebounding competition.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers withdrew all their main lineups, and the Cavaliers were able to chase the score to within 30 points, but the suspense of the game was long gone.

From time to time, the live camera is given to James sitting on the court, and the fans see that the little emperor is gnawing his fingers blankly, maybe the biggest fat fish in the summer is already thinking about going to New York or Chicago, watching today's game, everyone knows that such a cavalier cannot defeat the Clippers, even next season.

Today, the two protector generals around the little emperor, Xiao Mo and Brand, only have 10 points and 12 points in the account. Parker, JJ. Hixon, and Vallejo did not score more than double digits, and even the emperor himself only got 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists today.

On the other hand, the Clippers, Ji Guoqiu scored 21 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks in the third quarter, and Ji Guoqiu scored 24 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

The game isn't over yet, but Charles. Barkley has already begun to sum up the game: We all know that a small mistake in the Finals can make your efforts go back in vain, not to mention that the Cavaliers have more than one mistake, like a war horse with four legs cut off, and can't run in front of the defending champions.

First of all, when their three main players did not play, the other members of the Cavaliers were pulled away by the Clippers in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, they were beaten by a wave of 20+ points. The gap between the two teams is so big that even Clippers fans find it incredible, and perhaps they didn't expect their team to win so easily.

In the most critical third quarter, the Cavaliers still did not find a good opportunity to hold on to the Clippers and surpass the score, but were forced to shoot three points from the outside, and everyone knows what the result of such a choice will be in the absence of a suitable rhythm. Even if they did find some solutions to the dilemma in the fourth quarter, it was after the Clippers pulled down their main lineup, and the margin had already reached 30+. (To be continued......)
