At halftime, the Clippers led by 26 points, 67-41, and almost sealed the win.

Griffin played 19 minutes, scoring 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists at halftime, and was substituted for a break in the final five minutes.

Danny Green scored nine points in a single quarter, and his current strength is worthy of a mid-level contract, and the team will definitely poach people at a premium in the summer.

Yang Rui is not worried about Green's departure, he has the impression that Green is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, does not care about money, and values friendship more.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Green took a salary cut in 15 years to renew his contract with the Spurs, even if his state was up and down later, and the three points were not as accurate as the original, he was worthy of the 4-year 40 million contract with his defense.

Since 15 years, all kinds of big contracts in the NBA have been flying all over the sky, especially those who are particularly sought-after by 3D defense experts, and they are a must-have weapon for every team. It is generally believed that Danny Green's contract level should be as high as that of Chris Middleton of the Bucks, Demarre Carroll of the Raptors, and Wesley Matthews of the Mavericks, at least with an average annual salary of more than 15 million.

In terms of both defense and shooting, Green definitely doesn't lose to the guys mentioned above.

When people were complaining about the lack of money Green was taking, he didn't think so. "People are saying my contract is low, but I think the money I'm taking is what I'm worth."

Yang Rui never deliberately suppressed Green, and he felt that if Green was not given enough playing time, he was more likely to leave the Clippers in order to get on the post. Now the Clippers' fringe man is Gary Neil, who has a relatively single role, can only shoot three-pointers, and the summer is decided.

In the second half, the Cavaliers accelerated the pace of offense and defense, relying on the individual ability of the stars to steal points. James and Wade are fast, and few people can prevent breaking through the league.

Yang Rui strengthened the defense, so that Tony Allen, who had not played all the time and was full of physical strength, entangled Wade, Chandler protected the frame on the inside, Guy and Griffin partnered with the front line to ensure the speed of the defense, and Paul organized the offense.

In Yang Rui's previous life, if you compare Griffin with James, James will be very disdainful and say: "Griffin is a Dior?" There is only one person in the Chosen One, and his name is LeBron James. ”

In his previous life, because Griffin had no honor, he didn't even make it to the Western Conference Finals, so by the time he was 17 years old, there were very few people discussing him, and he was about to become a role player, and he couldn't compare with James who had three crowns.

In this life, neither of them won the championship, and people can only compare the performance on the court and find that the gap is not that big. Both of them are the weight of a center forward, the speed of a defender, the mid-range shooting is not top-notch, and they can pass the ball suddenly.

Of course, there is still a gap, Griffin lacks a trick and is not strong in scoring at critical moments; And James has a trick at critical moments, and is good at assisting teammates and improving the confidence of his teammates.

No one has ever said that Griffin is good defensively, he is not good at helping defense, and he is very poor in defense. But in one-on-one defense, Griffin is not that bad, at least medium, and the defensive motivation is very high. James forced a breakthrough, Griffin can keep up with the speed, although it is difficult to block the shot, but it can play a certain role in interference, and will not let James play a super-standard shooting percentage.

The Cavaliers are too far behind in the score, and if they want to chase points, they must shoot three points, and the Clippers' side strategy is to strictly guard against three points and defend James alone. James was in a hurry while he was personally cutting down beautiful stats.

If there is a positional battle, James will not have a good chance to make a shot, Chandler will make up for the defense, and he will only score two points when he puts Bosh in the middle of the shot. Wade was guarded, and the one-on-one ball wrapped around Tony Allen was not easy to catch.

Relying only on the star play, without the support of three-point firepower, the Cavaliers could not chase the score.

The Clippers ensured offensive firepower, and Griffin went off the court for 5 minutes plus halftime in the second half of the second quarter, resting for 20 minutes, and regained a lot of physical strength. This rotation method was decided by Yang Rui after discussing with assistant coaches Cole and Tyrone Lu.

Not only did they study the characteristics of the Cavaliers' players, their tactics, but also Adelman's usual substitution timing.

Bosh usually takes a break in the first quarter, starts a break in the fourth quarter, and is present the rest of the time. Yang Rui tried his best to arrange Griffin and Bosh to align them, which could ensure efficiency and boost morale.

Even if Adelman replaces Bosh and sends Vallejo, then the Clippers will play small-ball tactics, Chandler will rest, and the defense will be much easier, and Vallejo lacks the ability to attack with the ball.

It's not a conspiracy or a conspiracy, it's a symbol of the wisdom of the coaching staff, and Griffin can still go down to rest during Bosh's break, and the total playing time will not exceed 40 minutes, and physical strength is not a problem.

The Cavaliers coaching staff seemed ill-prepared, and Adelman had no other way but to fight for the stars, playing too many singles. At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers led by 31 points, and the game went into garbage time.

Griffin had 31 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, and when he got off the court, he high-fived his teammates one by one, and laughed like Truman in the movie "Truman's World" who left the studio at the end: "I wish you good morning, afternoon, and evening." ”

Paul couldn't laugh a little, he has only 9 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists so far, and his stats can't compare to Griffin. Not only does Paul want to win the championship, but he also hopes to win the Finals MVP, so that his personal honor will be complete.

It's a pity that the Cavaliers pay too much attention to outside defense, and the defensive strategy is also limited to point guards, so it is very difficult for Paul to win the MVP.

The Cavaliers starters played another 5 minutes in the final quarter, unable to catch up with the score, and both sides sent substitutes in the second half, and the first game became a one-sided massacre.

At 130-87 in the end, the Clippers won by 43 points, and six players scored double-doubles, not including Paul.

Curry played 30 minutes, shooting 8-of-15, 4-of-9 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, with 24 points and 5 assists, the second-best performance of the Clippers, while Gay had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, 8-of-14 shooting, 1-of-2 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws.

James scored a game-high 32 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and was the only person in the Cavaliers to put up star stats. When he left the game, his expression was similar to that of the fat striker of the Tofu King Kong team......

There's no reason for that. Hallucination! It's all hallucinations that don't scare me, don't do this, I want to play basketball!

Adelman was in just as much pain, and he went crazy in the fourth quarter and slapped his head on the sidelines.

When Barkley saw it, he joked: "The old coach may want to express this meaning: You bastards, do you have long heads when defending?" ”

When the final whistle blew, Adelman looked confused. The old coach didn't understand why his team was destroyed so easily? Obviously, the three stars of the Cavaliers are even more famous.

At the post-game press conference, reporters asked about Paul's MVP.

"I don't care about the stats, as long as my team-mates have better chances, I'm happy to pass the ball and help them score," Paul said. Our goal is the same, which is to win the championship. ”

The reporter said that Griffin was the closest to FMVP, and he smiled and said, "It's just the first game, and of course, I hope to have such a good performance in the future." I had a lot of fun today because we won by a lot of points against the Cavaliers, it was easy. ”

Yang Rui commented on the game: "Almost everyone is optimistic about the Clippers, thinking that the Clippers will win the championship, there are many people who think that we have the strength to sweep the Cavaliers, and some people say that as long as I am here, I will definitely lead the team to win the championship." Do you really think that's the case? Let me tell you, it's all true. ”

The crowd laughed at the venue. I thought that Yang Rui should be modest, saying that he can't underestimate the enemy or something like that, but he came up with a sentence of "it's all true", which was too exciting for the opponent.

Yang Rui has the capital to talk crazy, and this game clearly shows the gap between the two teams, and the advantage of the Cavaliers is only one point for James.
