Xiang Chu and James met again in the finals, and the attention it attracted was naturally extraordinary.
Xiang Chu's popularity is soaring, and if he is faster, he might be able to upgrade a magic skill before the finals.
However, he is not in a hurry at all. The current means to deal with the Cavaliers are sufficient. What he has to do is to get familiar with the opponent and put forward useful suggestions to the team so that the whole team can be in a better state.
After hearing Xiang Chu's interview, James also issued a domineering declaration, saying that it was his throne, and he would not allow Xiang Chu to sit on it again.
It is said that the Cavaliers are not given enough recovery time, but the actual schedule is more abundant.
In the days when there is no game, the fans live on all kinds of gossip.
The injury situation of the Cavaliers also changes every day, but the Nuggets don't care too much, no matter what lineup the Cavaliers are, they will not be afraid.
The championship began, and in June the long-awaited began to come out.
Basketball fans all over the world are almost telling everyone that no matter what, the finals of each season attract attention, especially the collision of two superstars.
"There is another Overlord game, and there is no fun in the days without games."
"Bawang absolutely successfully defended his title. This season will be Bawang's grand slam season. Let's argue."
"In fact, the Cavaliers have the strength to fight. The gap between the Warriors and the Nuggets is not big. Everything is possible for the Cavaliers with James."
"Hehe, the times have changed, and James is still being praised."
"The current lineup of the Nuggets is undoubtedly stronger, and anyone who knows the ball understands it."
Fans spit on the Internet, but also the enthusiasm brought to them by the game.
Before the start of the finals, all the awards of the regular season had been released, and Xiang Chu was indeed the big winner.
However, compared to the team's record, the honor of the rest of the team is not enough.
Fortunately, Xiang Chu is not the only one in the team. Louis Williams won the best sixth man award.
As for Xiang Chu, he is the only player in the first team this season.
He and Chris Paul, Tony Allen, Kawhi Leonard and Draymond Green won the All-Defensive First Team.
It's a pity that he didn't get the best defensive player. This vanity was given to Leonard.
And the best first team, he won with Stephen Curry, James Harden, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
If Xiang Chu wins the Finals MVP again this season, he can become the seventh player in history to have a double first team and a double MVP, and the other two active players are Duncan and James.
You must know that when the two first rounds were announced, Xiang Chu didn't have much reaction, and his fans were so excited that they directly ignored the fact that the finals had not yet been played.
James is also a little depressed. When he is paper, he doesn't mind being a villain.
Two great players, even if they don't match up, it's still interesting to talk about meeting in the finals.
What's more, they may also face the upper position, which happened last season.
It's normal for Xiang Chu to go out and meet James. It depends on who can be better.
When interviewed again before the game, Xiang Chu changed his tone, "Dude, the basketball game is not a one-on-one match. The first thing in my heart is to defend the title, and I am not interested in other things."
James said coolly, "Single-on, I'm not interested. But on the court, I will seize any opportunity to score."
On June 6, the finals kicked off, and the Nuggets once again had home court advantage.
This is the reward for good results in the regular season. The devil will ask you if you are afraid at home.
Love did not come back, so the Cavaliers' lineup was different from the regular season, but only the fourth position was changed.
They replaced Iman Shumpert at the second position and let JR play the sixth man. This lineup worked very well in the Eastern Conference finals.
The defense is strong, and JR-Smith's offensive power has been brought out again, which can be said to be more reasonable than before.
The two teams have only played against each other twice in the regular season, and the players have also changed. Generally speaking, the two sides must try it out first.
But compared to the beginning, the Cavaliers had no intention of probing at all, and James directly showed his power.
Middleton was a little stunned, and was beaten helplessly by James.
Even if he had the experience of playing against him last year, a player of James' level can't handle it with a little preparation. Middleton thought he had grown to a certain height before, but now he compares it to know that he is far from a truly powerful player. difference.
James showed a strong scoring ability at the beginning, but the Cavaliers' other starting performances did not keep up.
Even Irving is the same. After being baptized by those powerful guards before, Knight has calmed down a lot when facing All-Star players.
He may still not be as good as Irving, but he can try to make the opponent less efficient.
On the inside, Xiang Chu can be said to be bullying Mozgov, and Tristan Thompson by the way.
Mozgov is very comfortable playing the starting lineup now, and feels that he knows Xiang Chu very well and can help the team in defense, but it turns out that he still thinks too much.
When he met Xiang Chu, he remembered the miserable days when he was a training partner for the Nuggets. If he didn't gain weight with Xiang Chu, he would probably be more in line with the current trend of insiders in the league.
But he's good as a tank, Tristan Thompson is worse.
Mozgov played very slickly before he grabbed rebounds, but now he found that Xiang Chu's sense of rebounding was better than his, and Mozgov couldn't stop him, Xiang Chu hit him directly for several consecutive rebounds opened.
Everyone is in the same class, and he was no less energetic than Xiang Chu in his rookie season. I didn't expect that the gap between everyone is so big now.
Xiang Chu's advantage in the interior has not diminished, but the Cavaliers' perimeter defense is really good.
With James taking the lead, the Cavaliers took the lead temporarily.
After entering the rotation, JR also took the lead in showing his touch. He has also won the best sixth man. This aspect is not worse than Lu Wei, and the defense is better.
Of course, Lu Wei also has stronger aspects, such as a sense of rhythm.
The score is temporarily behind, but the Nuggets are not in a hurry.
It's just that they found out that the Cavaliers played their lives in the first game, went all out if they didn't make it to the start, and directly used the main force.
What does this mean for the Cavaliers? Is it because of tactics or enough attention.
No matter what, Xiang Chu felt that he couldn't be coaxed. James didn't have to go down, and he could fight against him.
And after getting used to the rhythm of the Cavaliers, the Nuggets gradually launched a counterattack.
The key is Xiang Chu's efforts, so that the Nuggets can safely restrict other Cavaliers players. If James wants to score points, let him come.
Of course, it's only limited to outside shots. Xiang Chu never minds head-to-head shots if he comes in.
In the second quarter, James hit all irons outside the three-point line, and the Nuggets also took the opportunity to reverse the situation and overtake the score.
