Chapter eight hundred and seventy-six [a bit square, FMVP is not easy to get]

In order to win the championship, the Cavaliers kept recruiting soldiers and their total salary was over. They were not inferior to the Suns in the card lineup. The Magic's lineup depth was no worse than that of Guo Xu's previous life. It was almost impossible to defeat the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers' biggest regret is that Szebiak's performance is disappointing, and he can't even be called a qualified player this season.

After entering the playoffs, Szebiak averaged 12.8 minutes per game, only scored 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds, and had a three-point shooting percentage of 16.7%. Fortunately, his big contract only has the last year left, and the Cavaliers can spare more than 10 million in salary space in the summer.

However, the Cavaliers still cannot introduce big names in the free market. After throwing away the big burden of Szebiak, their total salary will still exceed the salary cap.

Before the game, both basketball experts and online fans were optimistic about the Suns' championship.

There is no way, who doesn't look down on the Suns? The Cavaliers won a game after three finals, and the situation of strong West and weak East has not lasted for a year or two. Due to a series of butterfly effects created by Guo Xu, the Eastern Conference team has never won the championship since the Bulls won the championship in 1998.

Many people questioned James' leadership temperament. He seemed to be lost as soon as he fought a tough battle. His performance in the three finals was very bad, and his shooting percentage was not as good as that of the team's second-in-commander Boozer.

Only a few Cavaliers fans believe that James can lead the team to defeat the Suns this time to win the championship, because his strength has improved a lot compared to last season. Since entering the playoffs, James has averaged 28.5 points, 8 rebounds, 7.2 assists per game, shooting percentage of 51%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and 1.7 three-point shooting averaged.

His mid-range shooting percentage hit a career high, with a large two-point shooting of 48.2%, a 44.4% fewer mid-range shooting, and a 71% basket shooting percentage, he can be called a superstar in all aspects.

James was very low-key in the interview and did not say anything like beating his opponent.

The reason for being low-key is because he is under a lot of pressure and can't afford to lose this year. If he loses again, he will win the runner-up for the fourth time. This is the rhythm of surpassing Elgin Baylor!

Guo Xu said in an interview: "I have played in the finals six times before and have never lost. The winning rate in the finals is 100%. I said if I don't have confidence, will anyone believe it?"

He cared about another thing. After training, Xiao Si asked him to discuss it and asked him if he could give him a fmvp.

After thinking, Guo Xu agreed. Xiao Si joined the Suns' diligently as the second in command, not robbing the ball or making trouble. Even if he chose to break out of the contract in 2010, the two of them had partnered together for 8 years.

If it weren't for such a star inside player, Guo Xu wouldn't have easily won 4 championships in the Suns.

After working for 8 years, if all personal honors belong to Guo Xu and Xiao Si has nothing, he will definitely be very depressed.

Just like the two Bulls' dynasties, all the honors were from Jordan. Would Pippen be depressed? He tried his best to prove himself when Jordan retired, so the scene of the 1994 playoff strike was "the biggest stain on Pippen's career."

If James knew that the Suns core was not about how to win, but who won the MVP, he would be under greater pressure.

On June 4, the finals started at the American Airlines Arena in Phoenix City, with a schedule of 232.

In order to prepare for better matches, Guo Xu asked Dadario and Meghan to take Cats to live in a luxury home in Los Angeles in order to better prepare for the game. He regained his energy for a week and was in the best condition.

When he played at home this year, Guo Xu no longer threw away magnesium powder. This opening with a strong sense of ritual is suitable for young people. He now prefers to keep his wind and light on the court. To put it bluntly, he is facial paralysis, and his appearance of not caring about nothing is more exciting.

Sun: Guo Xu, Morrow, Roy, Stardameier, Gasol Jr.

Roy is responsible for the perimeter defense of James. A shorter person may lead to more jump shots from James. The Suns will double-team James near the penalty area and try to limit his breakthrough.

James' shooting has improved, but his biggest threat is always breakthrough and attack at the basket. Therefore, D'Antoni made Gasol Jr., the best center in the team to defend the penalty area. Sir Jr. can also be better as the power forward defense, and his size is not suitable for being a center.

Cavaliers five: Mo Williams, Deronti West, James, Boozer, and Valaijo.

Valecho won the jump ball and the game began.

James took the ball in the middle and Roy took a step and made more than a distance to reduce the center of gravity and make a breakthrough in main defense.

The two Cavaliers pulled out and gave their defenders no ball cover on both sides, helping them to run and catch the ball and get their phones. Many of the Cavaliers' tactics are to imitate the Suns and occasionally launch fast counterattacks. The essence of positional warfare is constant cover and empty cuts.

This is very effective. When Gasol Jr. plays, the Suns' inside speed is not fast enough. West received the ball from the left and attracted Gasol Jr. to switch defense, and passed the ball to Valejo, who cut the ball away, who squeezed away Moro and made a layup. 0 to 2.

Si's defense ability was average and was led out of the basket by Boozer, which was an easy score.

In the Suns' offense, Guo Xu passed the ball to Roy organization, and he and Morrow also relied on cover to run, the same way as the Cavaliers' position played.

Guo Xu received the ball from the weak side, and Mo Williams caught up. He had a chance to fight alone but didn't play hard, and passed it to Xiao Si who was a cutter.

Sir Si broke through the frame, Valejo kept a distance and kept disturbing. Sir Si's layup missed the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Boozer, who was retreating, and passed it to West.

West used the ball to launch a counterattack, and scored 3 and 3 points in the frontcourt to James who followed up on the right. In the counterattack, James showed his advantages and forced a layup with Roy. 0 to 4.

On the offense of the Suns, Guo Xu and Xiao Si played pick-and-roll in the middle, and the weak side attracted double-teams to pass the ball to the middle. Xiao Si made an open three-pointer and missed the rebound. The rebound was relatively far and was picked up by Mo Williams.

After Guo Xu agreed to help brush the data, Xiao Si became excited. As soon as he started, he wanted to make more moves and score points, and the rhythm was a bit urgent.

In the Cavaliers' position battle, James observed the organization in the middle without any rush, waiting for his teammates to run. West took the ball to break through on the left, attracting the inside to replace the defense and passed the ball to Valejo. Moro saw that Gasol turned slowly and could not return to the position, so he grabbed Valejo near the penalty area.

Valecho stood on the free throw line, and the Suns home fans gave him a boo.

tv5 Zhang Reason smiled: "Valejo is a player who comes out of the Suns. He is familiar with the Suns routines. He quickly integrated into the team in the Cavaliers and helped the Cavaliers understand several typical tactics of the Suns. I think fans should boo him."

Yu Jia said: "The Cavaliers imitated well. They won 1 win and lost 1 in the regular season with the Suns, and did not suffer any losses."

Valecho made both free throws, 0-6.

During the Suns' attack, Guo Xu and Smith played pick-and-roll to attract Boozer to switch defense and distributed the ball to Smith who cut the gap in the middle.

Sir Si squeezed away Mo Williams and rushed into the basket. Valaijo retreated and released Gasol, blocking Sir Si's way and interfered with each other. Sir Si chose to turn around and shoot hard on the right side, and missed the basket under interference.

Gasol Jr. cut from the left and failed to grab the frontcourt rebound. Valaijo didn't get the ball, so he jumped gently and moved the ball out with one hand. The rebound was grabbed by James, and he held it in his arms to slow down the pace.

James passed the position to Mo Williams first, but the latter was caught up by Guo Xu and didn't get a chance to get a phone call. The lob ball was given to Valaijo, who was on the low post on the left.

At this moment, Valejo was excited and his teammates passed the ball more to him. Before the game, he expressed confidence that he could play against Sir Si alone. He did have an advantage in figure. He leaned on Sir Si back and turned around and hooked his hand to avoid the block. His movements were not very beautiful, but the ball was scored. 0 to 8.
