beast basketball

The Spurs waited for three days, and the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons finally defeated their opponents through six games. "Little Emperor" James stood on the highest stage of basketball in the fourth season of his career, and he was with Wade. The difference is that he led the team to the stage of the finals alone.

As players of the same position and type, and opponents in the finals, the confrontation between Stephen and LeBron James has been compared and compared by countless media. The comparison of quantifiable indicators such as data is naturally clear at a glance. Has a slight advantage, and LeBron James has a greater advantage in assists than Stephen.

In terms of physical confrontation, both of them have a body that makes other players envious, and both of them rarely suffer from injuries. Although the two have not made a direct comparison, in the impression of many people, Stephen's The strength exceeds LeBron James, but in terms of explosive power, it should be inferior to LeBron James. The basis is the difference in race. The muscles of black races are unmatched in this respect.

In terms of technical style and characteristics, LeBron James is more comprehensive and omnipotent, but Stephen is more daring to shoot than LeBron James at critical moments. Of course, many of them are due to the different status of the two people in the team. It is decided that there are more people who are optimistic about LeBron James. Their reason is that LeBron James is more charismatic and leads the team better. In this regard, Stephen has not yet proved himself.

In terms of positioning, LeBron James is called "the next magician", but he gave Stephen a "Pippen II", which made Stephen a little dissatisfied. With six championships in hand, Stephen only has one championship, and neither of them is the core of the team.

But Stephen is not willing to just be a Pippen, although Pippen's personal honor is not much compared to many people, the top [-] superstars, the best defensive player in history, a huge number of best teams and the first defense The lineup and being selected into the Hall of Fame is also a certainty for him, but under the light of Jordan, everything he has achieved has been ignored by others, and Stephen is not willing to be a player like him.

But for such comments, Stephen can't make any response yet, what he said was too modest, a bit against his will, Stephen himself didn't want to, what he said was too domineering, and a bit disrespectful to other seniors, he is already a person in the past tense , no matter what you say, you can't call him to the court for a real fight again.

Both teams entered the playoffs with the third place in the division, but the Spurs won one game more than the Cleveland Cavaliers, so the Spurs have the home court advantage. Since the finals are played in two-three-two games, it means that the two sides have to play in San Antonio first. Play two games, and then go to Cleveland to play three games. If there is no victory, then return to San Antonio to play the rest of the game. In this way, the Spurs must strive for their own home victory. A home game will be extremely difficult.

In the interview before the game, LeBron James was full of confidence. After all, he was able to stand out in the Eastern Conference and still have the third record in the division. It was not an easy task. Being able to enter the finals made him feel It's like after a baptism, there is a feeling of being reborn from the ashes.

Although he was very polite in response to the media's always good LeBron's tone, his attitude made people feel that the championship was in his pocket, which made all the Spurs who happened to see this interview Very dissatisfied, if it is the Detroit Pistons or the Miami Heat, the Spurs are a little bit afraid, but only afraid.

As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although Vicky has always emphasized not to underestimate the enemy, but the Cavaliers have always had experience and no experience, and they are a team of James alone. This kind of team is the easiest to defend, as long as you defend against LeBron James, the combat effectiveness of the Cavaliers will be greatly reduced.

And another advantage over the Cavaliers and Spurs is that the coach of the Cavaliers is Mike Brown. Mike Brown is currently the youngest coach in the league. He is five years younger than the general Johnson. He is only 36 years old now. Age is not his weakness. Those few defensive plays against the Pistons fully demonstrated his ability.

In particular, he insisted on using Ilgoshkas and Varejao to play double center tactics, which just restrained the Pistons' weakness of not having a real center after losing Ben Wallace, and lost only one rebound to the opponent in six games. , In the crucial sixth game, he won the Pistons with [-] rebounds. His use of Gibson and Snow also fully proved his flexibility and eclecticism.

But he learned from **Vich, learned the defensive first tactical system from **, and then learned another different defensive style from Carlisle, another famous coach in the league. On offense, he used chief assistant Hank Egan to create a tactical system with James as the core for the team.

This Hank Egan was the former chief assistant coach of the Spurs, and also the coach of Vicky at the Air Force Academy. He was also the key person who introduced Vitch to Larry Brown. Vicky turned his face.

So regardless of the Cavaliers' offense or defense, the Spurs know the bottom line. Of course, the Cavaliers also have a very deep understanding of the Spurs. Mike Brown and Hank Egan were both assists for the Spurs. Another teacher of Mike Brown Carlisle learned from Carlesimo, the current chief assistant coach of the Spurs.

Every time he sees such a relationship, Stephen will feel a headache. He has an idea, that is, after he retires, he will study the coaching pedigree of the league, including the Larry Brown system and the Pat Riley system. , the old Nelson system, the Larry Brown system, the Vivitch system, the unique Phil Jackson system, etc. I believe this work will be very interesting.

This time following the Cavaliers to San Antonio, there is also the general manager of the Cavaliers Danny Ferry. He, Avery Johnson and Elliott were all players of the Spurs and helped the team win the [-] NBA Finals. After the championship, he retired and became the director of player affairs of the Spurs, and became the general manager of the Cavaliers in [-]. It was his handwriting to hire Mike Brown.

Although the players of the two teams are in good spirits, the management is quite friendly. Before the game started, they even held a small banquet. Something about basketball.

In this atmosphere, the first game between the Spurs and the Cavaliers began. On the one hand, there is a veteran champion team in the league, with four championships in seven years, and on the other hand, there is a new army led by a supernova. James is considered to be a new generation. The leader among the players carried the team to the finals alone. Although both teams are defensive teams and their playing styles are not very good-looking, they still attracted the attention of basketball fans all over the world. And the broadcast income not inferior to the All-Star Game.

In the current league, there are fewer and fewer players of O'Neal's generation, and their influence on the league is also less and less, while Iverson, Kobe, McGrady, and Duncan are considered to be the current middle power of the league. The field dominated the league, and in the past two years, Wade first reached the finals with the help of O'Neal, and this year it was replaced by James leading the team to the finals alone.

Is the league going to enter the world of the new generation of players from now on? Will these old players leave the top stage of the Finals? This is a fact that many people are thinking about, and many of them don’t want to watch it. Seeing that my idols have declined like this, but I also know that no one can resist the power of time, and the rotation brought about by the change of time is inevitable for everyone.

But right from the start of the game, the Spurs showed their maturity and sophistication. Although Stephen defended against LeBron James, his defensive range was only on the outside. As long as LeBron James breaks inside, the Spurs are like the Rockets. The team did to LeBron James what the team did to Steph.

Although LeBron James is strong and explosive, it is a bit difficult in front of big men like Duncan or Oberto, and the Spurs defend him in all directions, including shooting, breakthroughs, and passing. The use of personnel conversion and front and rear pinching made James unable to attack and pass the ball to his teammates in time.

As for the Spurs' offense, the combination of Ilgoshkas and Drew Gooden can't limit Duncan's offense. On the outside, Stephen has no good chances under the defense of LeBron James, but Michael Finley Under Paklovic's defense, he didn't seem to feel the pressure at all.

This is the strategy formulated by Vicki before the game. The Cavaliers must take care of Stephen, so they let Stephen attract the attention of the defense, but let Michael Finley take more shots. In the finals, Michael Finley's I am much more motivated than before, and I was given a heavy responsibility by the coach, so I played very hard.

In the first quarter, LeBron James, defended by the Spurs, only scored two points, and they got it through free throws. Fortunately, Drew Gooden and Pavlovich performed well first, and then Gibson hit a three-pointer after he came on the court , so the Cavaliers trailed by only five points.

Stephen didn't have any chances, and only scored four points. McBrown looked down and frowned. In the second quarter, the Cavaliers replaced LeBron James. Come down, today Stephen's task is to defend James, and under normal circumstances, James' playing time is more than 10 minutes, so Stephen should hurry up and rest.

However, the lineup without James caused a lot of trouble for the Spurs. All the pre-match arrangements of the Spurs were made for the presence of James. Without James, the arrangements would lose their pertinence, and The Cavaliers took advantage of this opportunity to strengthen their own defense. The Spurs only had Ginobili alone, and the Cavaliers made a [-]-to-[-] victory, overtaking the score by [-] points. Qi watched from below, a wry smile flashed across his mouth, but he still brought Stephen up again.
