Chapter 764 Take the initiative to ask for a job, that year's draft
Before the finals started, James felt very uncomfortable.
It seems that everyone is discussing James becoming the next Elgin Baylor, which makes James feel a kind of humiliation and fear.
Before the finals, the local media in Cleveland reported that James trained hard for the finals.
The sweaty situation is admirable.
But...it's useless to train now!
Qin Yang was a little speechless. The thinking of many media is different from that of ordinary people. They publish news for the sake of publishing news.It's embarrassing to do so.
The Mavericks also practiced, but in comparison, the Mavericks' training atmosphere is very good.
During the training interval, Kevin Durant took the initiative to undertake the task to the coaching staff: "I want to face James, as long as we can limit James, we can easily win."
Durant really wants to win.
Not only want to win, but also want to prove themselves.
Durant entered the league to play better than James. Since entering the league, James has become the strongest small forward in NBA history.
Durant has always been considered the second small forward, even after winning the scoring title.
Durant is a great scorer, and James is more comprehensive.This is the evaluation of James and Durant by all the media and experts.
It seems that Durant is born to be a head shorter.
This attitude made Durant very unconvinced.
All the superstars in the NBA think that they are talented and strong, so how can they be convinced.Before Durant was rubbed on the ground by James, there were other off-court factors, such as...teammates.
James has been the configuration of the Big Three since the Heat, and it is still the case with the Cavaliers.
This time Durant came to the group, to a large extent the same.
The role of the championship is very large for superstars.
Although the Mavericks are not the Big Three now, they are better than the Big Three. For the first time, Kevin Durant is more than 90.00% sure that the Cavaliers led by James will be rubbed against the ground.
Coach Carlisle was naturally very happy about Durant's challenge, but he didn't agree:
"Kevin, it's a good thing that you have confidence, but the team still focuses on tactical cooperation, not much in singles, and everyone needs you to work hard on the offensive end. As for the defensive end, leave it to others!"
Coach Carlisle had other ideas and dared not agree.
When there was a gap between training sessions, Qin Yang went to the coaching staff alone.
"Rick, in the next finals, if there is a chance, give Durant more opportunities. I promise to give him the MVP of the finals this time."
Inviting Kevin Durant to join is not a simple matter.
In fact, there were many teams that Durant could join. The Wizards, Rockets, and Warriors were all good candidates.
The Wizards' John Wall and Bradley are good at cooperating, and they are much more reliable than Russell Westbrook. It is also Durant's hometown, and the inside line is not weak and hopeless.The Rockets have former teammate James Harden, and there is no problem with the cooperation between the two. The Warriors lack a player like Durant, and the Splash Brothers are not stable enough for key shots.
At that time, Qin Yang's invitation was only one aspect.
The point is, Qin Yang made a promise, if you come, I will not compete with you for the first finals MVP.
If someone else said that, no one would believe it.
In the finals, who knows what the statistics will be like, if he accidentally won the MVP, Durant can't say anything.
But when Qin Yang said it, Durant believed it.
This is the impression Qin Yang gave people for a long time. In the All-Star Game, Qin Yang did this to ensure the cohesion and cooperation of the team.
Now Durant also believes in Qin Yang, which is why Durant joined the Mavericks.
After listening to Qin Yang's words, Coach Carlisle agreed without saying anything further.
To be honest, the weak point of the Cavaliers this season is the point guard. Qin Yang is very confident of winning the MVP of the finals, so he just let it out now.
After talking to the coaching staff, Qin Yang chatted with Durant again.
Before the game started, Qin Yang got the details right.
On June 6st, the first game of the finals, the Mavericks played against the Cavaliers at home. This is a battle of the century. Although the Cavaliers are now two giants, their overall strength is not weak.
This game is known as the most intense game in the playoffs.
Before the game started, Qin Yang greeted James.
This time, James was a little speechless when he saw Qin Yang. This season, Qin Yang has become stronger again, especially his unsolvable rebound shots from the mid-range position.
How to vote and how to get it is simply desperate.
"Bruce, we're going to win this series!"
James said in a full-fledged manner, his eyes glared, and his momentum was majestic, while Qin Yang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Wait and see!"
In an instant, James' momentum was gone.
This hurts too much.
The Cavaliers' lineup is still flawed this season, and it is almost impossible to win against the Mavericks.
The two sides jumped the ball, and Gobert passed the ball.
Tristan Thompson's jump ball is good, but it's not as good as Gobert, who has won the best defensive player this season.Gobert's bounce and wingspan are better.
Qin Yang catches the ball and slowly dribbles across the half court.
The Cavaliers were very nervous when they saw Qin Yang take the ball.
With a wave of his hand, Nurkic made a cover, and Qin Yang broke through directly.The breakthrough speed is not fast, but it is very scary. If this speed can keep up, someone must defend it.
Tristan Thompson hurried forward to help defend, while Qin Yang threw the ball to the other side.
Durant took the ball and made an empty cut for a layup.
It was too late for Tristan Thompson to turn around, and Kevin Love hesitated under the basket, not daring to pull someone.
This step is taken up and cannot be defended.
The Cavaliers attacked, James held the ball, and played directly in singles. It was PJ Tucker who defended James. Tucker was slightly shorter in height, but very strong.
Let PJ Tucker play first in the first quarter, the meaning is obvious, let's consume a wave first.
When James arrived in the playoffs, he really worked hard. In the first two rounds, the Cavaliers really relied on James' performance to advance.
Therefore, the Mavericks' tactics are very simple, guard against others, and defend against James alone.
James can get terrifying data, but the Cavaliers must lose.
James accelerated, carried Tucker, went directly to the basket, and then scored a layup under Nurkic's defense.This breakthrough layup fully demonstrated James' characteristics.
Another time, Durant guarded Kevin Love.
Qin Yang played against JR Smith.
The rest of the Cavaliers can't attack, and the only one who can directly match up is James. There is no way, James can only go first.
The Mavericks attack.
Durant stepped forward to cover, and after the cover, Qin Yang faked a fax burst, went directly to the inside, and made an emergency stop for a jumper.
Tristan Thompson was a step slower, thinking that Qin Yang would break through and make a layup.
The Cavaliers attacked, Kevin Love made a screen, James still made a breakthrough, but after the breakthrough, Gobert assisted in the defense, James hesitated and passed to Tristan Thompson.
Tristan Thompson's template in the draft was Kevin Garnett. For this reason, the Cavaliers missed a series of superstars such as Leonard and Klein Hompson. ,
No way, the role of the template is so great.
Tristan Thompson was so boasted back then, the Cavaliers would naturally choose.
But Tristan Thompson was not too expensive on the offensive end. Gobert turned around and directly interfered in place. Thompson missed the shot, Nurkic got stuck, and Gobert got the rebound.
