Chapter 152: Advice (1st Update)
Having won the game, everyone on the Cavaliers exhaled lightly.
James was even more excited to accept the interview with reporters after the game.
James:
"yes, it was an exciting game, and in fact I didn't expect it to go so well before the game, with the Cavaliers leading all the way to the end."
"I still feel incredible."
"The change in position is not really the point, it's a bit rare for me to play power forward, even I feel incredible. But to make the team win, I don't mind playing somewhere else, even if it's a point guard? But I guess Bruce will have an opinion. ”
"As for the next game, I hope we can play with our form and spirit and continue to be like this, because the Lakers are not invincible."
James was very confident.
In this game, James's play was obvious to all, the defensive end limited Pau Gasol, grabbed rebounds very well, and the help defense was also good.
On the offensive end, James grabbed an assist after a defensive rebound, and the Lakers were depressed.
Even in the eyes of all fans, the key to the Cavaliers' victory is James, and James changed to play power forward to disrupt the Lakers' tactics.
Qin Yang's performance is also excellent, but more often than not, it is the green leaves next to James.
This is the most embarrassing thing about all the players around James.
Qin Yang accepted the interview very low-key and was full of praise for James.
But in the bottom of his heart, Qin Yang was very worried, this sudden change of tactics can be said to hurt others and hurt himself, the Lakers were accidentally stunned for a while, and this game will be easier to win.
If it really continues, the Lakers will naturally respond.
The next day. All the news media are frantically hyping up this matter.
TNT News:
"James is the greatest small forward in NBA history, there is no one, although James has many years in his career, but this conclusion has become a consensus, the only doubt is whether James can surpass Jordan, but in the fifth game of the playoffs, we found that maybe we were wrong."
"James is perhaps one of the greatest power forwards in history. In this game, I felt like I saw Tim Duncan in San Antonio. ”
TNT News boasted that people were simply undisciplined.
In fact, if Duncan is on the Cavaliers, Qin Yang is confident that he will press the Lakers and not give the other side a chance. The strength of Duncan, the great basic skill, does not need to be said.
Not only TNT News, but also Fox News and other sports outlets have been raving about James.
Even Lakers Magic Magic Johnson said in an interview with the media: "LeBron James's performance is not inferior to my performance in the first playoffs." ”
Magic Johnson is an NBA legend and there are many rumors about him.
But one of the well-known ones is that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was injured in the playoffs, and in desperation, Magic Johnson changed from point guard to center, and got 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, and won the championship.
From point guard to center, no one in the NBA can do it except Magic Johnson.
No, there's one more person who can do it, Rajon Rondo.
James's game can be comparable to Johnson, Qin Yang is skeptical, because the point guard and the center are very different, and the small forward and the big forward are not so different.
In recent decades, the blurring of positions in basketball has become more and more apparent.
Shooting inside and outside, forwards organizing offense, point guard offense, more and more different players and tactics appear, which greatly increases the gap between players.
James's position change is actually quite ordinary.
But Qin Yang couldn't say that.
On the contrary, the next day, when the Cavaliers were training, they actually trained James again to play power forward tactics, which scared Qin Yang.
"LeBron, are you going to play power forward in the next game?"
Qin Yang couldn't help but ask this, and James smiled: "Of course, why not?" I'm not a big fan of playing power forward, but if I can Lakers, it would be the best option. ”
"I think it's better not to be like this, in the last game, the Lakers were caught off guard, but in this game, if the Lakers are ready, you don't play power forward to help the team that much."
Qin Yang solemnly said his thoughts.
James was stunned and didn't say anything.
Qin Yang shouldn't say this, as the second or third leader of the team, it is undoubtedly very stupid to question the core of the team that has just performed well.
But this is the finals, and Qin Yang really can't help it.
James also made no comments.
Qin Yang is still practicing and maintaining his shooting touch.
After the team resumed training, James came to the coach's office.
After slamming on the door, it wasn't until he heard a call to come in that James walked into Coach Brown's office, and when Coach Brown saw James coming, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face.
"LeBron, what's the matter?"
Coach Brown said very kindly and politely. For the Cavaliers, both the general manager and the coach are at a disadvantage, and there is only one boss of the Cavaliers, and that is LeBron James.
But James is very good at being a person, even if he has a high status, he doesn't feel annoying.
For example, when you enter the door, you will knock on the door first, and you will be very respectful to the coach and manager.
No matter what you think in your heart, it's good to think so on the surface.
"Nothing serious." James further explained: "Today we rehearsed the tactics, about my tactics in the power forward position. ”
"Do you have any ideas?"
Coach Brown's face was much more solemn when he heard this.
Coach Brown is a very hard-working coach who is good at defensive tactics, and when he heard James' words, he became serious.
James smiled: "I think I can be cautious, if I encounter difficulties in the next game, it is better to let me go back to play small forward, the Lakers have a target in the next game, and I may not have an advantage in playing power forward." ”
Coach Brown nodded with a slight hesitation.
…………
17th.
Game 6 was played on the Lakers' home court.
Staples Arena is once again brightly lit.
Both teams were interviewed before the game.
Kobe Bryant: "It's the way we've dreamed of winning a championship at Staples Arena, the Lakers haven't won a championship for a long time, and this is the championship that belongs to the Lakers. Today, we won the championship here. ”
Kobe Bryant was aggressive and vowed to win the championship.
James, on the other hand, said that Cleveland is missing a championship.
Both cores said they wanted to win the championship, and this game was much more watchful.
The Lakers are still the original starters, and the Cavaliers are the same as in the last game. Qin Yang started the game, and James played power forward.
Jumping ball, Bynum won by an overwhelming margin.
If Bynum is not brain-dead, the Lakers will not be easy to play.
In the first ball, Kobe Bryant attacked with the ball, Pau Gasol directly blocked and dismantled, Kobe broke through directly, James assisted in defense, and Kobe Bryant answered the jump shot.
Perfect hit!
