As expected, fans on the Internet have a flood of bad comments about the Cavaliers players, the unlucky ones are Bosh and Wade, and James's statistics are still eye-catching, but not many people spray him.

This is James's team, and the emperor has not abandoned his people to hug his thighs, and he is still high. Although they all seem to be similar, his status in the hearts of fans is completely different.

Yang Rui regrets for the Cavaliers, mainly because Wade and Bosh will be sprayed as "pseudo-giants" if they can't win the championship in the Cavaliers, and their careers will be too miserable.

James stays with the Cavaliers, at least he can earn a reputation for loyalty, and wait until he is 30 years old to go to other teams to win championships, and Cleveland fans may applaud him for his years of dedication to the Cavaliers. It's the fault of his teammates who can't win the championship, and James' statistics and personal honors can prove that he is on par with the top stars in the league, but it's just bad luck.

In the second half, Yang Rui sent an opening starting lineup to continue the joint defense.

Curry only played six minutes in the second quarter and is now full of energy. He watched the game with his fists clenched, and he couldn't sit still.

Yang Rui called Curry to his side and whispered: "Don't just want to play, hold your strength and let it out, it will affect your sense of rhythm." Be relaxed, think about the game, watch how Paul plays, learn from his strengths. If you can shoot and play fast-paced games, you can be a star, but you can't be a superstar, you have to be fast and slow. ”

Curry stared at the court and said in the same low voice, "Because the Cavaliers want to speed up the pace more than we do, right?" ”

"That's right, that's why I didn't let you play with Paul, to win the Cavaliers, it will make it more uncomfortable for them to play slowly, and when they are desperate to step up their offense, your chance will come." Yang Rui said lightly.

Curry nodded, and in the details, he could see the difference between Yang Rui and the head coach of the Bucks.

A good coach not only looks at the problem from his own point of view, the perspective of the players of the team, but also analyzes the game from the perspective of the opponent, so that he can know himself and his opponent and survive a hundred battles.

For Yang Rui, the rationality of the lineup is always more important than the fame of the stars, and he pays attention to the combination of players and the chemistry on the field.

Five minutes later, the Cavaliers players were getting more and more urgent, adding counterattacks and errors to avoid landing in the battle. It's still the same problem in the first quarter, when the Big Three are on the floor together, they can't shoot from the outside.

The current situation is worse than Yang Rui's previous life with the Heat Big Three, because James joined the Heat, and he couldn't immediately occupy the magpie's nest and give Wade face. He can play without the ball on the side, handing over the burden of attacking with the ball to Wade, and compared with the two, James's three-point shot is still somewhat accurate.

Now, the Cavaliers need Wade to accommodate James, and Adelman is still a coach who particularly likes to play playmaking forward tactics, and he won't change the team's traditions as soon as he arrives at the Cavaliers.

Wade's power to play without the ball has been greatly reduced, and he can only cut in the air, and is not good at receiving the ball and shooting from a long distance. Wade was well aware of this, so he cut back on his shots and focused more on the defensive end.

Even if Wade sacrificed the ball, the Cavaliers offense couldn't be opened, and James broke through to play his strengths, attracting teammates to shoot out of the bag. Point guards, whether Douglas or Chalmers, will be targeted, with no open shots.

Adelman, who has been unable to attack for a long time, chose to make substitutions and play small-ball tactics, Wade, Parker, Miller, James, and Bosh.

The big three of this lineup are all on the court, they can open up space, the stars can go heads-up, and Wade has a physical advantage in single-handedly playing Paul.

In the first round after the substitution, Wade forced a breakthrough past Paul, and his teammates did not wrap or make up for the defense, and Paul was experienced and directly pulled Wade.

The foul entered the dead ball, and Yang Rui immediately called a timeout and made substitutions to adjust. Curry came on for Paul, and Sheldon Williams came on for Jordan Jr. The other three are Korver, Guy, and Griffin.

"Stephen, what you have to do is keep your distance and try to interfere with Parker's shots, and he's not a big deal with the ball. Sheldon, you're about the same height and weight as James, keep him close to him, don't let him rush easily, I'm sure you can do it. On the offensive end, he gave Stephen side cover, cut at any time, and rushed to the front court to rebound the ball......"

Yang Rui will not let Curry deal with Wade, that is looking for abuse, Parker is the best player for the Cavaliers to deal with, he rarely breaks through with the ball, as long as he keeps interfering in front of him.

Defending the opposing scorer is generally the job of blue-collar players, and when he is with the Lakers, Wizards, and Raptors, Yang Rui will not arrange the task of defending the stars of this team.

The little people can play a role at the right time, and Yang Rui found Sheldon in order to cope with this kind of occasion.

Whether it is Griffin or Jordan Jr., it is difficult to do a good job in defending James, Jordan Jr. is a center, and he is not good at defending James alone as an all-round warrior who can break through. Griffin's energy is mostly on the offensive end, and he is not good at defending breakaways.

Sheldon, on the other hand, can defend both inside and breakaways. With no height and no offense, he is like Hayes, who was undrafted in the same class, and is easily eliminated by the league. His legs are not too thick, his lower body strength is not as good as Hayes's, and he is generally resistant to playing center, and he can only be useful against the type of James.

Once the game started, the Clippers defense turned to man-to-man.

The Cavaliers have three three-pointers on the court, and the Clippers can't use simple defensive methods anymore, and three or four people shrink to block the restricted area, so Miller and Parker will have a lot of space. Yang Rui would rather let Wade, James, and Bosh score two points in a single to prevent the opponent from shooting away.

The strategy was correct, and Sheldon came on to defend James several times.

Sheldon is not afraid of resistance and moves fast, reducing his efficiency if James can't speed up. This season, James's back-to-back offense is still unreliable, and his back-to-back play relies on the opponent to quickly turn around and break through, and he will not hold the ball and chisel inside.

Wade singled out Korver and also shot-oriented, Korver has a lot of experience and will let him go two steps away from the main defense. Although Korver's defensive jump shot could only interfere slightly, Wade felt too bad today and his shooting percentage was much lower than his breakthrough.

In this quarter, the Cavaliers' offense still relied on the star heads-up, and at most Bosh and Wade played a block, and there was no tactic to speak of. Adelman, who used to be known as a master tactician, is about to suffer Waterloo if he continues like this.

The Clippers are also heads-up, with Curry, Gay, and Griffin's trident.

Griffin can single-handedly pick up Bosh with the ball in the middle, force breakthroughs, and can also respond to passes; Gay singled Miller on the right side, with a physical advantage, a three-threat face frame, and a back-to-back jumper; Curry covered the run with Shelton on the left side, and received and shot at 70 degrees to the baseline; Only the Korver position is fixed, just in the bottom right corner.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the best performer was Guy, who hit back-to-back jumpers and two turnaround and step-back jumpers in a picturesque position. The two are about the same height, and Miller is a floor stream and can't be covered.

When he was in high school, Gay's heads-up ability was very strong, and although he didn't have the ball in the Cavaliers, he often practiced heads-up with James, and his offensive skills were skillful.

Bosh also struggled to defend Griffin, also a big forward cameo center, Griffin has an obvious strength advantage, and the speed is a little faster than Bosh. This supernova, known as "Zhilifen" by Chinese fans, has such a perverted body, except for short arms, there are no shortcomings.

Bosh can defend against blocking and dismantling, and it is easy to be deflated when he encounters a strong man, and he can't protect the penalty area.

Paul came off the break, and the margin did not narrow, and the Clippers led 69-59 at the end of the third quarter.

At this time, everyone was convinced that the Clippers really had the ability to defeat the Cavaliers.
