Why is most people very bullish on the Warriors and not so bullish on the Cavaliers?

<> the strength of the lineup on paper and the psychology of watching the excitement caused this reason.

Whether it is the Big Four or the Cosmos, the strength of the Warriors is recognized as the first in the league, the Splash Brothers, Green, Iguodala, McGee, Durant, Livingston, West. Just thinking about it, this lineup is already terrifying, and the record of recent years makes them look extremely strong, and it also gives people the fixed impression that the Warriors have the ball to play on the whole team, and the team's coordination and tactical philosophy are ahead of the entire league. Sometimes that's how it is, when a team is strong, you look like everyone is so confused, and it feels like any role player is going to be a lot ahead of the star players of the other team.

The Warriors also have the strength to do this, and I won't say much about those superstars, everyone knows better than me. I'm talking about these replacements who look incredibly strong. Iguodala, the only one who exists in the first few, is a defensive enhancement, an offensive weakening version of James, and even because he is on a team, his dribbling and agility surpass the Cavaliers.

The mere existence of him, the super sixth man, can make the entire Cavaliers substitute ashamed. The one who can compete a little is Richard Jefferson, but unfortunately he still has the responsibility of defending Durant and has no time to compare with Iguodala. This big-mouthed teaser, always pretending to be asleep, once he wakes up, just like this year, suddenly scores points and takes away the game.

Regardless of the overall starting comparison or the bench, the Cavaliers are weaker, and the only strong point is James, but you have also seen that Lao Zhan is almost exhausted, and he still can't take it.

Many fans have a kind of heart that is not afraid of big things when watching the excitement, and the specific details are like this. year, the knights lacked major generals, and the warriors completed the sweep. year, the winning warriors were overturned, and the Cavaliers won the championship, which is a great shame, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, there must be an understanding.

So year, the whole game and even the whole season, the most anticipated drama for everyone is the Warriors' revenge on the Cavaliers, the introduction of Durant, so that this drama is more sufficient, since the beginning, Adu has been thinking about revenge, I don't care where that man is, I just want to beat that man. The script has been written, and the audience naturally adds fuel and fire, making this atmosphere better.

The 2017 NBA Finals are over, with the Warriors winning 4-1 against the Cavaliers. From the major social platforms, we can see that the fans' support for the Warriors is slightly higher than that of the Warriors. So why is the popularity of the Warriors slightly higher than the Knights?

Why did the Warriors defeat the Cavaliers?

First, let's take a look at why the Warriors won. This requires an analysis of the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers can reach the Finals, basically relying on LeBron James' personal ability and leadership ability. In the game, we can obviously find that every time James breaks for a few minutes, the other Cavaliers players on the court basically can't score, and even let the opponent score frequently.

There will definitely be fans who say that the Cavaliers and Irving can come out and take charge of themselves, and that's right. Irving does have the ability to take charge of himself, and many people recognize Irving as the number one singles player in the entire league and the strongest singles player.

Okay, even counting Owen. Then the tactic used by the entire Cavaliers on the court is, "James is big, James plays Irving, Irving plays, Irving plays, James Irving plays together." "It's hard to beat the Warriors with just James and Irving.

Let's look at the Warriors again, when Durant joined the Warriors, the Warriors can be said to be like a tiger. The Warriors' ability to work together as a team is significantly stronger than that of the Cavaliers, and the Warriors' quick passes between players often make it impossible for the Cavaliers to handle. Coupled with the Warriors' iron triangle (Stephen Curry, Kate Wayne Durant, Klay Thompson), the three's unflawed cooperation is also a killer feature for the Warriors.

The Warriors' Curry is known for his three-point shooting, and his three-point shooting percentage is the highest in the entire league, as high as 41%. At the same time, the three-point shooting percentage of other players is not low. For example, Kevin Durant, three-point shooting percentage, which is also relatively high in the league.

In the game, the Warriors' tactics are obviously to consume James's physical strength, and the other players of the Cavaliers are stubbornly marked, while the defense of LeBron James is relatively weak. But it's the point that made you James go to the basket. But James alone still can't compete with the entire Warriors after all.

James just hit a layup, a 2-pointer. On the other side, Curry fought back with a 3-pointer, which consumed James's physical strength, and in the end, James was almost tired, and the Cavaliers' score was still behind the Cavaliers.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers are relatively weaker in their cooperation with the whole team. But when James breaks through to the basket, the other players tend to stand still and watch James make the layup. Rather than looking for more opportunities by running off the ball, so that James can pass out and find another opportunity if he can't get to the basket.

This is perhaps also a big reason for the knight's failure.

After all, basketball is a team competition, and teamwork is often more important than individual singles ability.

The Warriors pioneered the small-ball strategy of modern basketball, and although it cannot be said that it originated with the Warriors, it was truly fully demonstrated in the Warriors. On the other hand, the Cavaliers, after using the Death Five in the Warriors Finals and teaching the Cavaliers a good lesson, the Cavaliers also began to follow the Warriors to build a small lineup.

But the reason why the Warriors play a small-ball lineup and can form a death five is because they have the ability to organize, the three-point terrifying Curry, the outside three-point is also stable and the defense is first-class, Green, who can respond to the ball in a high position and organize the offense, Livingston, who can play nine out of ten shots on the court, and Iguodala, who has rich experience and various defensive means.

The Cavaliers are a small-ball lineup developed around James, James is strong but needs the ball, Irving's passing skills have nothing to say but needs the ball and is a solo fight, Nerve Knife JR and Shambaugh are both excellent, but they are not comprehensive enough, there is no defense if there is offense, and it is difficult to get balanced. The other shooters on the perimeter have accurate heads, but they are getting older, and their defensive footsteps can't keep up with the Warriors' small-ball rotation.

Therefore, in the previous two finals, the Warriors had an advantage, but the following year they were reversed by the Cavaliers with a 1:3 lead, which is rare. However, in this year's finals, the Warriors, who should have been challengers, went to impact last year's champion Cavaliers, but the call for winning the championship was still very high, but the Cavaliers were more like challengers.

It can also be seen that in the public's mind, the Warriors are indeed stronger than the Warriors as a whole.

Moreover, this season the Warriors have also been strengthened by the exchange of Barnes and Durant. Durant's height and arm span make anyone who defends him feel like a misplaced defense, and although Durant is tall, he has flexible feet and good ball handling skills, so it is difficult to defend. At the same time, Durant's defense is also excellent due to his height and reach, which can make up for Green's lack of height on the inside.

Durant, Curry, Green, Thompson, and Iguodala form the latest death five, and I personally feel that I have taken the ball to the extreme, and there is no way to improve it.

Both offense and defense, Durant and Thompson are both excellent players on offense and defense, Curry and Green are excellent at playmaking, and Iguodala of the Finals FMVP is an experienced player who can always be in the right position.

Such a Warriors team cannot be shaken by relying on the Cavaliers to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall through various positions. After all, the Warriors not only have great players, but also the right system and tactics, which is exactly what the Cavaliers lack.

Therefore, from the current point of view, if the Warriors can retain the championship lineup next season, they will still be the favorites to win the championship.
