Zhuan Zhu
The referee quickly stepped forward and pulled James and Barnes apart.
James didn't bother anymore. After controlling his emotions, James silently picked up the hair tie.
He knew that this was Phoenix, and he couldn't get a bargain.
The Finals against Phoenix was more difficult than he imagined!
Mike Brown's plan for James to lead the second team to chase points is not going well. James' impact is very strong, but the Suns' benches also feel very good tonight.
Three and a half minutes into the second quarter, the difference between the two sides remained at double digits.
After the dead ball, the Suns returned to the game.
James still stays on the court for the Cavaliers. Mike Brown knows the importance of James and dare not let him rest casually.
During the regular season, James averaged 40.4 minutes per game, which ranks third among all players.
In the playoffs, this number rose to 42.5. It is no wonder that fans dubbed him James' nanny.
Mike - Brown is too dependent on James!
James didn't catch up with the second team of the Suns. Of course, it is even more difficult to play in the main lineup.
Fortunately, Mike Brown's big bald head was enlightened. He removed the big Z Ilgauskas and replaced him with Varejao, which avoided the tragedy of O'Neal being infinitely switched and singled out.
The pressure on the defensive end has eased, which allowed O'Pang to spread his hands and feet on the offensive end. In this quarter, he made 6 of 4 shots and scored 9 points with free throws. The efficiency is good.
However, in the face of the full firepower of the Suns, the Cavaliers still trailed by 47 points 61 to 14 at halftime.
The second half started quickly.
Suns starting lineup: Nash, Chen Yan, Grant Hill, Diaw, Stoudemire
Cavaliers starting lineup: Gibson, Larry Hughes, James, Varejao, Big Z Ilgauskas
"They sent out their strongest offensive lineup, and it seemed that they were going to open up the point difference in one fell swoop in the third quarter." Kenny Smith analyzed before the start of the second half.
Barkley nodded: "Yes, this is their usual rhythm. The Cavaliers removed O'Neal, who performed well in the second quarter."
Kenny Smith said: "O'Neal is still a lethal beast in the penalty area, but he is 36 years old, and physical fitness is his biggest enemy."
What Kenny Smith said is true. O'Neal's average playing time this season is only 28 minutes, which is the lowest in his career. His huge body consumes a lot of energy for every step he runs.
On the first attack in the second half, James chose a high jumper.
"Bang!"
Miss!
Varejao grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it to James again.
James dribbled the ball sideways and then shot again.
"Shh!"
hit!
49:62.
In the early days of James' career, mid-range shots were a means of ending his shots. In recent seasons, James' mid-range shots accounted for more than 30%.
This is also related to the environment of the league. At this time, the small ball has not yet prevailed. Compared with the three-pointers, the outside players of each team prefer to use the mid-range shot to end the offense.
However, the Suns' offense runs counter to the league's traditional offensive philosophy. Whenever they have a chance, their players will fire from outside the three-point line without mercy.
"Shh!"
Looking back, Chen Yan quickly responded to James with a three-pointer.
The Cavaliers attacked, James used double screens to kill the basket and made a foul, winning two free throws.
It can be seen that James strengthened his personal offense in the second half.
James made one of two free throws and the ball was converted.
Nash quickly advanced with the ball and made a precise pass to find Chen Yan.
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan took two steps forward, and passed the ball around Varejao to Stoudemire.
Stoudemire made a strong dunk!
The auditorium was instantly overwhelmed, which is a typical Sun Trident attack method.
Cavaliers attack round.
James rushed to the basket and was surrounded by three people, and finally lost his center of gravity and fell to the bottom line.
James spread his hands, indicating that there is nothing wrong with this?
The referee ignored James. This kind of ball can be blown or not. In addition, this is the home court of the Suns, so the referee's whistle will naturally be moderately biased toward them.
The Suns switched offense and defense, and Chen Yan used smart steps to dodge Larry Hughes and then blitzed to the basket. A light master layup scored two points!
Cavaliers attack round.
Big Z must play hard inside.
James has attacked for three consecutive rounds, and his teammates must also give him some support.
Big Z is a traditional European standing center. He has good skills and a certain mid-range shooting ability, but his biggest advantage on the court is his 221cm size.
Ilgauskas squeezed Stoudemire and turned around, ready to use his height to force him!
But Big Z is too soft, he just squeezed out the layup space and didn't completely carry Stoudemire.
Seeing the big Z stumbling around, Chen Yan decisively let go of the defenders and rushed out from his blind spot.
"boom!"
Nail the board directly!
No mercy!
The most coquettish thing is that Chen Yan nails the board with his right hand, and puts the ball into his arms from the air with his left hand.
Cover and take, all in one go!
As soon as it landed, Chen Yan launched a counterattack alone!
James retreated in time this round, but the Suns advanced faster!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yan, Nash and Grant Hill had already crossed the center line.
3 to 1 in the frontcourt!
James' attention is all on Chen Yan, the ball holder.
Chen Yan also realized this. He first passed the ball to Nash and then accelerated past James without the ball.
Nash returned the ball to Chen Yan with a beautiful early strike!
This kind of cooperation is a bit like two over one on the football field. After the two had a meal, James had no choice but to give up defense.
It's not that James is passive and sabotage, it's that this kind of 3V1 ball can't be defended at all.
In the penalty area, Chen Yan took a look and then hit the ball high on the backboard.
Grant Hill who followed up received the rebound and took off directly!
"boom!"
Chen Yan hit the board and assisted, and Grant Hill bombed the basket successfully!
After landing, Hill was very excited. This ball made him regain the feeling of being Jordan's successor.
"Hey! It's time to play!" Zhang Lili also shouted excitedly.
"Haha, Chen Yan played very relaxed, you must know that this is the stage of the finals!" Director Xu also sighed.
On the way back to the defense, Chen Yan glanced at the somewhat dejected Big Z, who really did look like movie star Nicolas Cage...
The Cavaliers have been playing very hard, but the point difference is getting bigger and bigger.
This is because the Cavaliers' outside shooting feels bad tonight, and there is no real offensive point in the team.
James' physical talent and vision are at a historical level, but during this period he has not developed a long-range shot, and it is obviously impossible to score points in every round of tough battles only by forcing a breakthrough with one hand.
The Cavaliers' intermittent offense looks like scraping to Sun fans.
At the beginning of the last quarter, the point difference between the two teams has reached 25 points.
The Suns didn't show mercy just because the Cavaliers couldn't resist their ferocious firepower.
This is a series, what they have to do is not only to win the next game, but to destroy the confidence of the Cavaliers!
At 7 minutes and 07 seconds of the game, Chen Yan made a signature LOGO-SHOT to pull the point difference to 30 points.
The game basically lost suspense, and the next dead ball Suns coach D'Antoni also asked the main players to clock in and get off work.
After 1 minute, James took the initiative to apply to end the game, and the game officially entered garbage time.
James and Kobe are two types of people with very different personalities. Kobe is paranoid about winning and is almost crazy. Even if he loses, he will fight until the last second, while James plays more rationally. Sometimes I will give up selectively and make better preparations for the next game.
Soon, the electronic buzzer of the American West Arena sounded.
118:93.
The Suns beat the Cavaliers by 25 points in the first game of the Finals!
The Suns players stood up and clapped each other to celebrate. Every player's face was full of joy after winning but not much excitement could be seen.
The Suns played against the Cavaliers throughout the game, and in the eyes of the Suns players, it is a matter of course to win this game.
James didn't bother anymore. After controlling his emotions, James silently picked up the hair tie.
