The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 255 Adjustment Results
It's okay for Waiters to like to go it alone, so let's play less.

The substitute time allows him to rush, and the opponent will also have a headache, so there is no need to decide the victory with the main players.

Relatively speaking, Irving is still listening to the coach's advice and trying to pass the ball.

It's just that Uncle Drew's fight like this is a bit awkward, and the strongest offensive weapon is gone instead.

There is a long way to go for the Cavaliers to adapt, and Irving's awkward play is not impossible to win, but in order to compete for the championship, it is necessary to stimulate the strength of several strong points.

But in general, under the mandatory requirements of the coach, and with James leading by example, the transmission of the ball between the Cavaliers has increased a lot.

At halftime, they finally led their opponents by double digits this time.

David Blatt was a little excited, thinking that his earnest teaching had worked.

If in the locker room, he poured a lot of chicken soup into the players, emphasizing the importance of running the ball.

This kind of thing, those who understand it will naturally understand it, and those who don't understand it are like listening to the bible.

Players at the All-Star level must understand, but this is a professional stadium after all, and a smooth offense needs to be controlled by strong players. An ideal state is impossible.

In fact, the Cavaliers changed their style of play, and the Nuggets responded in the second quarter.

James organizes the team's offense, and about every team in the league has studied it now.

In the second half, the Nuggets also made adjustments in offense.

The advantage of the teams with fewer changes in the summer is that the teams are more proficient in mobilization.

The Cavaliers also wanted to increase their intensity in the second half, but it was very difficult to do so.

On the offensive end, James leads the game, but on the defensive end, it depends on tacit understanding.

In modern basketball, strong personal defense alone is not enough, a screen can delay.

Players can't do it if they want to go all out. Everyone needs to keep the rhythm consistent and the rotation must be tacit enough.

There is no way to force the defense. The Cavaliers have strengthened their individual offenses in a targeted manner. All-star players can play cooperatively, and of course they are also capable of singles.

Even Zhang Xiaotian, now he can fight without opening his skills.

The main force of the Nuggets will definitely not be able to handle it, but they still have a little more players who can play, and they will try their best to chase back the points during the rotation period.

Why do teams with average strength have more players? One is that there are no players with absolute strength occupying each position, and the other is that players at the All-Star level in strong teams occupy too much salary. Just in case, generally don't play much.

Only this time, the Cavaliers firmly held the lead.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, they really couldn't stand the Nuggets' counterattack.

But first, Zhang Xiaotian withstood the pressure and hit two, and then the Cavaliers switched back to the main force ahead of time. James, Irving, and Love scored to stabilize the situation.

When a team like the Cavaliers fights for the main force like in the playoffs, the Nuggets can only be cold.

Some people may gossip, but it is impossible to have as many people who are sarcastic after losing.

In the end, the Cavaliers won the game with a 10-point advantage. Seven of them scored in double figures, which means that the main rotation personnel have performed well, and they have reached the state required by David Blatt, which made him confident in the interview after the game. full.

To be honest, David Blatt still has a level, but it is a little different from the mainstream of the league.

After playing two back-to-backs, the Cavaliers' next schedule is relatively easy, and there is enough time to adjust.

David Blatt is in high spirits, but he also understands that the smooth flow of the ball is not as he originally envisioned, but when James controls the ball.

Coaching high-level athletes is fortunate and unfortunate. David Blatt is happy and painful.

When Zhang Xiaotian was resting, he sent Yang Feiyu to the plane again. Compared with the United States, the development of the company on the other side of the ocean must need her more.

Fortunately, the social transportation is convenient now, and the two will not be separated for too long.

Zhang Xiaotian told Yang Feiyu to set about establishing a professional manager system, and then they would be able to be hands-off shopkeepers, and they would be together as a whole.

Perhaps having a child has to be planned. Zhang Xiaotian found this kind of thing troublesome before, but after getting married, his thinking has changed a lot.

Zhang Dajun was still on the farm, and Zhang Xiaotian's plan to suggest that he rest for the rest of his life was shelved.

The old man only has a few acquaintances there, if he follows Zhang Xiaotian, he will not be able to enjoy himself.

But Zhang Dajun is not as busy as before, most of the time he sits with old acquaintances and brags, his son is straighter than his waist.

On November 11, the Cavaliers returned home to face the visiting Pelicans.

The biggest change for the Pelicans this summer is that Asik was traded from the Rockets, allowing him to do rough work for Anthony Davis inside.

A blue-collar worker with tens of millions of dollars has to sigh again that it is easy for a big man to get a contract.

With the growth of Anthony Davis, the Pelicans can be considered competitive, and they are not willing to be a foil this season.

To be honest, the Pelicans' lineup is not bad, but they need to control the injuries of their players.

The Pelicans are good on both inside rebounds, and the Cavaliers are at a disadvantage at the beginning of the game.

But the Pelicans' offense is far inferior to the Cavaliers, except for the strong point of Anthony Davis.

However, they quickly made adjustments. Even if they had a few more rebounds, it would be useless if they couldn't play on the offensive end.

After they replaced Ryan Anderson, it was much better.

Not only can he pull out to shoot, but the team's speed is also much faster. Asik is really slower.

But there are pros and cons, and Ryan Anderson's defense is not very good.

This time Waiters can't go wrong because of his back discomfort, and the Cavaliers' bench can only be said to be worse.

Waiters is just out of rhythm with the team, he still has abilities, but it is difficult for others to support the team's offense during the rotation period.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers' main teams are all strong and strong. When Waiters was there, they increased the playing time of the main players, and now they directly use the main players to top them.

As for whether there will be injury problems in the second half of the season, let's solve the problems in front of us first.

Zhang Xiaotian's opponent today is Eric Gordon. Because of the injury, Gordon is no longer at his peak when he was playing, so Zhang Xiaotian still has to take advantage of it.

But facing attacking defenders, his footwork still needs to be improved.

In the first half, the Cavaliers' main lineup can be said to have completely suppressed their opponents, but Ryan Anderson's outside touch was so good that they didn't expect it.

If this continues, they will definitely have to switch defenses.

There should be no problem for Zhang Xiaotian to defend, but the team has lost a second position today and has not adjusted for a long time.

After consideration, the team decided to give rookie Joe Harris a chance.

For Ryan Anderson, it is decided that he cannot continue to shoot.
