Chapter 764: Take the initiative to ask for help, draft that year

Before the finals even began, James felt bad.

It seems that everyone is talking about James becoming the next Elgin Baylor, which makes James feel a sense of humiliation and fear.

Before the Finals, local media in Cleveland reported that James was training hard for the Finals.

The sweaty situation is admirable.

But...... It's all training now, so it's useless!

Qin Yang is a little speechless, many media think differently from ordinary people, and they publish news for the sake of news. It's embarrassing to do.

The Mavericks also practiced, but in comparison, the Mavericks had a good training atmosphere.

In between practice, Kevin Durant took the initiative to take on the task to the coaching staff: "I want to play against James, as long as we can limit James, we can easily win." ”

Durant really wants to win.

I don't just want to win, I want to prove myself.

Durant entered the league to play better than James, and since entering the league, James has become the strongest small forward in NBA history.

Durant has always been considered the second small forward, even after winning the scoring title.

Durant is a great scorer, while James is more well-rounded. This is what all the media and experts have to say about James and Durant.

It seems that Durant is born to be a head shorter.

This attitude made Durant very unconvinced.

NBA superstars, who think they are talented and strong, how can they be convinced. Before Durant was pressed to the ground by James and rubbed, there were other off-court factors, such as ...... Teammate.

James has been a Big Three configuration since the Heat, and he is still so with the Cavaliers.

This time Durant came to huddle, to a large extent.

The role of a championship is very big for a superstar.

Now the Mavericks are not the Big Three, but they are like the Big Three, and for the first time, Kevin Durant is more than 90 percent sure that the Cavaliers led by James will be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Coach Carlisle was naturally very happy about Durant's invitation, but he did not agree:

"Kevin, it's a good thing that you have confidence, but the team is still based on tactical coordination, there won't be many singles, and everyone needs you to work on the offensive end, as for the defensive end, leave it to others!"

Coach Carlisle had other ideas and didn't dare to agree.

Waiting until the training break, Qin Yang went to the coaching staff alone.

"Rick, in the next Finals, if you have a chance, give Durant more chances, and I promise to give him the MVP of the Finals next time."

Inviting Kevin Durant to join is not a simple matter.

In fact, there are many teams that Durant can join at the beginning, the Wizards, the Rockets, and the Warriors are all good candidates.

The Wizards' John Wall and Bradley are good at cooperating, much more reliable than Russell Westbrook, and Durant's hometown, and the interior is not hopelessly weak. The Rockets have former teammate James Harden, and the two have no problem working together, but the Warriors lack a player like Durant, and the Splash Brothers are not stable enough on the key ball.

At that time, Qin Yang's invitation was only one aspect.

The key is that Qin Yang made a promise, if you come, I won't fight you for the first Finals MVP.

If someone else says so, no one will necessarily believe it.

When the finals start, who knows what the data will be, if he accidentally gets the MVP, Durant can't say anything.

But Qin Yang said it, and Durant believed it.

This is the impression that Qin Yang has given people for a long time, and in the All-Star Game, Qin Yang did just that, ensuring the cohesion and cooperation of the team.

Now Durant also believes in Qin Yang, which is the reason why Durant joined the Mavericks.

Coach Carlisle listened to Qin Yang's words, didn't continue to say anything, and agreed.

If you really want to talk about it, the Cavaliers' weakness this season is in point guarding, and Qin Yang has a great grasp of winning the Finals MVP, so he will let it out now.

After talking to the coaching staff, Qin Yang chatted with Durant again.

Before the game started, Qin Yang did the details in place.

On June 1, the first game of the finals, the Mavericks hosted the Cavaliers, which was a battle of the century, and although the Cavaliers are now the two giants, the overall strength is not weak.

This game is known as the most intense game of the playoffs.

Before the start of the game, Qin Yang and James greeted each other.

This time, James was a little speechless when he saw Qin Yang, and Qin Yang has become stronger again this season, especially the unsolved shooting in the mid-range position.

How to vote and how to have, it's just desperate.

"Bruce, we're going to win this series!"

James said with a full breath, his eyes were glaring, and he was majestic, while Qin Yang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Wait and see!" ”

In an instant, James's momentum was gone.

It hurts a little too much.

The Cavaliers still have a flawed roster this season, and it's almost impossible to win against the Mavericks.

The two sides jumped the ball, and Gobert flicked the ball over.

Tristan Thompson has a good jump shot, but not as good as Gobert, who has been named Defensive Player of the Year this season. Gobert's bounce and reach are a little better.

Qin Yang received the ball and slowly dribbled through the half.

The Cavaliers were very nervous when they saw Qin Yang getting the ball.

With a wave, Nurkic took cover, and Qin Yang broke through directly. The speed of the breakthrough is not fast, but it is very scary, and if this speed can keep up, someone must defend.

Tristan Thompson hurriedly stepped forward to help defend, and Qin Yang threw the ball and passed it to the other side.

Durant took the ball and cut directly to the basket,

Tristan Thompson turned around and it was too late, and Kevin Love hesitated for a moment under the basket, not daring to pull people.

This step is undefensible.

The Cavaliers attacked, James held the ball and played directly alone, and it was PJ Tucker who defended James, Tucker was slightly lower in height but had a lot of strength.

In the first quarter, let PJ Tucker go first, and the meaning is obvious, consume a wave first.

When James arrived in the playoffs, he really fought hard, and when he played against each other in the first two rounds, the Cavaliers really relied on James's play to advance.

Therefore, the Mavericks' tactics are simple, guard against others and defend James alone.

James can get horrific numbers, but the Cavaliers have to lose.

James accelerated, carried Tucker, went straight to the basket, and then scored on a layup under Nurkic's defense. This breakthrough layup brought James' characteristics into full play.

On another occasion, Durant defended Kevin Love.

Qin Yang is opposite J.R. Smith.

The rest of the Cavaliers can't attack, and the only one who can directly oppose is James, and there is no way, only James can go first.

Mavericks offense.

Durant stepped forward to cover, and after the cover, Qin Yang faked a flick and went directly to the interior to make a stop-and-go jumper.

Tristan Thompson was a step slower, thinking that Qin Yang would break through to the basket.

The Cavaliers attacked, Kevin Love covered it, and James still broke through, but after the break, Gobert assisted in the defense, James hesitated and passed to Tristan Thompson.

Tristan Thompson's template for the draft was Kevin Garnett, for which the Cavaliers missed out on a host of superstars such as Leonard, Klay Yangpson, and so on. 、

No way, that's what the template does.

Tristan Thompson was so bragged about at the beginning, the Cavaliers would naturally choose.

But Tristan Thompson didn't have much trouble on the offensive end, Gobert turned around and interfered directly in place, Thompson's shot was missed, Nurkic was in position, and Gobert got the rebound.
