One Guard

David Blatter is very distressed now. The difficult gameplay in the first game actually exceeded his estimates. The depth of the Cavaliers' lineup is already stretched, and if you continue to play like this, the players will easily get injured. Kevin Love’s injury has greatly affected the Cavaliers. If it weren't for the lack of a major insider, the Cavaliers wouldn't have played so hard.

After yesterday's game, James was fine, but Irving said that his knee was a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, there was no overtime in yesterday's game, otherwise no one can say what will happen to Irving.

If the Cavaliers hurt another person, this series will not be able to play, so when training, David Blatter is also cautious.

But if you don't simulate the fast-paced offense and defense, the Cavaliers will not be able to defend well in actual combat. At this moment, Blatter was in a dilemma. No wonder many NCAA and European coaches can't succeed here. The NBA is really not so easy to win.

But in fact, at the beginning of yesterday, the Cavaliers were not so passive. But since Carlisle changed into the big and four small lineups, the Cavaliers never took the lead again.

The alternate defense of Iguodala and Tony Allen made James lose his rhythm. And Iguodala's maneuverability made Tristan Thompson impossible to defend.

In the playoffs this season, "change" has become an indispensable keyword. The Warriors reversed the Grizzlies with a change, and the Mavericks used a change to beat the Warriors. This is an era of traditional and modern handover, and more radical play has proven their power.

Thinking of this, Blatter looked at the players on the court and suddenly his eyes lighted up.

Yiyang finally woke up at noon the next day. The battle with James last night drained all of Yiyang's strength. Fortunately, the NBA gave the Cavaliers and Mavericks two days of rest between Game 1 and Game 2 of the Finals. Because of this, the players can take a good rest this morning, and they will not start training until the afternoon.

Although they won the ball yesterday, the Cavaliers' performance still makes one's heart lingering. Especially James, that guy's crazy output messed up the Mavericks' defense.

James persisted until the last few minutes before he collapsed, which was a lot longer than Yiyang and Carlisle predicted. If James takes a few more minutes of rest in the next game, God knows if he will be dragged to death.

Thinking of the Cavaliers and James, Yiyang lay back on the bed again, exhausted physically and mentally. This year's finals may be the most difficult one he has ever played.

LeBron has lost a championship last season, he doesn't want to lose the third consecutive time with the same person! In 2011 and 2014, the Heat fell on the Mavericks. This year, after regrouping the Cavaliers, James doesn't want to be crushed by the Mavericks.

It is precisely because of this that James will be so desperate. With 38 shots, only 13 players have taken more than 38 shots in a single game in the past 22 years of BA.

I just hope everything goes well for the next game...

"Also, are you awake?" At this moment, Vignali walked into Yiyang's room with a breakfast, to be precise, lunch.

Looking at his wife and the hot lunch, Yiyang showed a relaxed smile. Maybe there is only this kind of moment during the finals, which can relax Yiyang's thoughts a little bit.

"Changes?" James looked at Blatt questioningly, but this time, the face of this famous coach in Europe was full of confidence.

Confident, this expression is on David Blatter's face, it's the first time James has seen it.

David Blatter, an American coach who has played in the European League for nearly 30 years. Israel, Greece, Russia and Turkey have all left him in the basketball world. During the six years of coaching the Israeli team Maccabi, Blatter led the team to a total of six Israeli Cup titles and five Israeli league titles. In addition, Blatter also served as the head coach of the Russian national team. In 2007, he led his team to win the European Championship, and in 2012 he led his team to win the bronze medal in the London Olympics. Blatter's personal honor is also very amazing, 4 times Israel League coach of the year, 1 time Europe's best coach. Just looking at these resumes, Blatter's experience duel can be called brilliant. And these also made him the first coach of the European League to coach in the NBA!

But for the NBA, Blatter, the main brush who has been in Europe for 27 years, is an out-and-out rookie. This is the first time he has coached an NBA team as a head coach. The players in this league are very different from the players in all other leagues. They are faster, taller and more stylish. How to maximize the individual abilities of each star is a homework that every NBA coach must master. It's like Phil Jackson's triangle offense, which is actually a tactic that creates singles opportunities for the stars. Just like the Warriors' small lineup, it actually creates his favorite offensive rhythm for the stars.

But at this point, Blatter is obviously not good enough. He was deeply influenced by Princeton's tactics, and he played team combat in Europe. Blatter's characteristic is that everyone in the team looks like a star, but none of them is a star.

But the facts have proved that this set does not work well in the Cavaliers. When you have stars like James, Irving and Love, you can't let them be mediocre. So Blatter's basketball philosophy is not reflected in Cleveland at all.

Due to incompatibility with the NBA, Blatter also often made some low-level mistakes. For example, on several occasions, he called a timeout when there was no timeout, or arranged a lore with the idea of ​​team combat, and did not give James the right to make the last shot.

In this season’s playoffs between the Cavaliers and the Bulls, at the last moment of the game, Rose made a layup and the Cavaliers got the ball. Blatter walked into the court and made a time-out gesture. Tactical arrangements, but Blatter forgot, they have not suspended. According to the rules, the Cavaliers will be called for technical fouls, giving the Bulls a free throw opportunity, and the ball must be given to the opponent. This error is undoubtedly fatal at a critical moment of the game.

So even when James faced reporters, he did not shy away from calling Blatter the "rookie coach." Although James is only joking ~www.novelmtl.com~, this "joke" also explains Blatter's embarrassing situation in the NBA. As far as the NBA is concerned, James knows a lot more than Blatter.

Because of this, Blatter has never been too confident. You often see him standing on the sidelines with sleepy eyes, and sometimes he asks the assistant coach to do the call. You often see James drawing tactics with a tactical board after a timeout, while Blatter is sitting silently.

But at this moment, Blatter looks like a real head coach. With confidence and confidence, there is no doubt about it!

"Yes, change! We can also use lineup changes to deal with the Mavericks' big and four juniors!" Blatter looked at the players, they are not general. If you use it well, maybe you can really pick the Mavericks off the altar!

"You tell me, how should we change?" James picked up the tactical board and handed it to Blatter.

In this era of changing basketball ideas, Blatter also hopes to make some new attempts on the new stage of the NBA!

A faster and more efficient small lineup? It seems that the Cavaliers are not incapable of following suit.
