The Godfather of Basketball

The Cavaliers scored 2 consecutive games at home and tied the big score 2-2.

The game has undergone dramatic changes.

The media and media people who thought the Thunder were the champions all looked extremely embarrassed at this time, and then they all chose to remain silent.

Tang Tian taught them how to be human.

If you doubt anything, you can't doubt Tang Tian and his team!

This time, it was the Thunder fans' turn to be anxious.

Although they still hold the home court advantage, and even though the series has only played four games, the two games they lost were too big a problem. It can even be said that it is not a problem of players' performance, but simply a problem of tactical restraint.

In the game against Brooks, Tang Tian showed a 200% sense of presence.

Fans are also looking forward to Brooks making adjustments in the next game.

After all, the fifth game is Tianwangshan, and the winner will directly get the match point.

Then, something interesting happens.

Before the fifth round of the series, the Thunder also had two days of closed training.

This also seems to have begun to accumulate big moves.

Tang Tian was very calm. Brooks was not a master tactician, and the big move he suppressed was probably nowhere near the itch at most.

Two days later, Game 5 of the Finals continued in Cleveland.

The attention of the entire city of Cleveland is all on this game. The most intuitive point is that the traffic in the streets around the Quicken Loans Arena is infinitely congested. Many vehicles enter this area.

The battle of Tianwangshan in the finals is highly anticipated!

The game's commentary also comes from TNT's ace commentator Charles Barkley and his partner Kenny Smith.

"Oh, oh, Tianwangshan, Charles, what did you and Shaq say before? The Thunder champion?" Smith said with a smile, not hiding his smug look.

"Is there? When did it happen? Why don't I know? Tell me, when did it happen?" Barkley was playing tricks.

"Last week, June 15th, at night." Smith gave a very accurate answer.

"Come on, man!" Barkley laughed at what Smith said.

"Okay! Okay! I'm poisonous milk, poisonous milk, do you understand? Look at the Cavaliers, don't I give birth to it!" Barkley's face is thicker than the city wall.

Smith could only shake his head with a wry smile.

While the two were talking, the scene had already entered the opening ceremony.

The Thunder's starting lineup was introduced first, and at this moment, everyone discovered the Thunder's adjustments, and Brooks mentioned Harden as the starting lineup.

Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka, Perkins.

The Cavaliers continued their previous starting lineup.

Paul, Green, Artest, Battier, Yao Ming.

Yao Ming beat Ibaka this time, giving the home team the opportunity to attack first.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, and the Cavaliers still opened up the space.

Artest's high pick-and-roll, Paul opened up and faced Durant, shaking his feet continuously, and directly accelerated the layup.

If Artest played Durant in the last game and just crossed the river by feeling the stones, then in this game, the Cavaliers have determined that Durant is the team's defensive loophole.

Brooks on the sidelines didn't care. His lineup adjustment was mainly to solve the offensive problem.

Westbrook handed the ball directly to Harden at halftime.

The Cavaliers went up to double-team, Harden flicked his hands back to Westbrook, and Westbrook dribbled two steps to the free throw line and hit a zombie.

After giving the team possession to Harden, the Thunder found a way to break this tight ball-handler.

Paul glanced at Tang Tian at this time, and Tang Tian made an offensive gesture to him in position 2/3.

Paul nodded, shouting at his teammates while dribbling forward.

In the frontcourt, Battier still put Ibacara to the bottom corner, but this time Green went to the bottom line to find Yao Ming's pick and roll.

At the same time, Paul and Artest hit the pick-and-roll and then Durant.

Durant's hands are really long, but his defensive experience at this time is really poor, and he lost his defensive position after being confronted twice by Paul.

Harden came back to help defend. Paul had already seen the opportunity and threw the ball to the left at a 45-degree angle. Green just took the opportunity through the pick-and-roll.

When a person sees the ball, he raises his hand and throws it.

"Shua!"

There was a crisp sound.

The fans in the Quicken Loans Arena immediately cheered excitedly.

Flowing clouds and flowing water, attacking like mercury pouring down the ground.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time.

It's a good idea to switch Harden to the starting lineup, but the problem is that Harden's defense is not much better than Durant at this time. The Cavaliers can play with these two points and can open up the Thunder.

"Don't double-team Harden!"

Tang Tian shouted to the returning Cavaliers.

Harden held the ball in the frontcourt, and Green directly defended one-on-one.

Harden called Ibaka to the high pick-and-roll, but Green reacted quickly, snatching positions close to Harden several times, but Ibaka didn't block it.

ESPN released a list of players who are good at avoiding pick-and-rolls this year. , It is very likely that the opponent will directly grab the gap and hit a three-pointer.

And on this list, Green is at the top.

Harden couldn't play the pick-and-roll, and Durant was entangled by Artest and had no room to receive the ball. He chose to return the ball to Westbrook.

At this time, Battier decisively let go of Ibaka and came to double-team.

Double-teaming the ball holder is actually a great knowledge. For example, if you let Green or Artest come over at this time, once Westbrook passes the ball, then Durant or Harden can directly shoot a three-pointer Yes, but for Ibaka, the offensive area is close to the basket, let alone whether he can catch the ball, and then attack after receiving the ball. The Cavaliers also have plenty of time to take it back.

Ibaka beckoned and ran out from a high position, but Westbrook was a little hot at the moment, wanting to pass the ball and kill a bloody path from the double-team.

"Snapped!"

With quick eyes and quick hands, Paul broke the ball directly.

The Cavaliers played a fast break, and Paul went all the way, hitting a low-handed layup in the frontcourt.

7 to 2.

The Thunder have limited adjustments.

Tang Tian retreated to the bench and sat down.

As long as the ball is forced out of Harden's hands, the Thunder will still be the same Thunder.

Of course, there is another very important point. Harden's status in the Thunder is not high now, and his offensive firepower has not yet been fully utilized. It is very difficult to temporarily let him be in the starting lineup without running in. It is very difficult to play a big effect. of.

In other words, Brooks's adjustment, in front of Tang Tian, ​​seemed a bit like a primary school student.
