The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 284 Nine people rotate
With Irving's super performance of hitting 11 three-pointers and scoring 55 points, the Cavaliers won eight consecutive victories.

Zhang Xiaotian only scored 18 points in this battle, but it was also the team's second highest score. Together with Irving, it can be regarded as scoring nearly [-]% of the team's points.

Love was in a bad mood, so David Blatt still had a few words with this buddy, promising to arrange more tactics for him.

Love is also a person who doesn't like talking very much. James was worried, so he went to talk to him for a few words. He also promised to try his best to help canvassing for the next season, and he also said that he would pass more balls to him. Zhang Xiaotian heard some, Secretly a little funny.

However, the team still needs the core players to do more. The status of the players still has a great impact on the strength of the team. Sometimes the coach does not have the teammate to speak.

The team went back to back again, and Love couldn't find his status.

The team's inside attack still needs to rely on Love, he has the basket to open up space for James.

On January 1, the Cavaliers played against the Kings at home.

The Kings have been sinking for too long these seasons, and it is almost unclear how to win.

Now this king's main lineup is still good. Cousins ​​and Gay still have personal abilities, but there is no spark between them, and they don't have any ruthless roles on the bench.

At the beginning of the game, both Irving and James played for Love.

They have all been selected to the All-Star, and it is right to coax Love for the strength of the team, and it is only good for them to open up Love.

Love didn't hesitate either, Jason Thompson, the opponent's fourth position, couldn't keep up with him, and Love also hit repeatedly, helping the team get off to a good start.

The king's main offensive points are Gay and Cousins, and the other is Darren Collison in the first position. Others don't have many chances to touch the ball.

There is no need to worry about Gay's confrontation with James, and Cousins ​​also has Mozgov to top him, but Cousins ​​likes to take a shot from the outside to support him, and it is impossible for Mozgov to completely restrict him.

However, the Cavaliers don't need to be tightly locked by the opponent on the defensive end. Their strengths are also in scoring.

When Love feels good, Zhang Xiaotian, James and Irving all got relatively good shooting opportunities, especially Zhang Xiaotian, who hit two three-pointers are open.

He is now getting better and better at combining with and without the ball. Although the growth of basic attributes is slow, he is improving from game to game in terms of using his strength more efficiently.

In the case of all four players playing, the Cavaliers led by 11 points in the first half, which is still in the state of foreign substitute players playing well.

For a strong team like the Cavaliers, the Kings are really not a threat. Gay is famous for being capable but unable to integrate into the team.

In the third quarter, James and Owen worked hard one after another, directly turning the fourth quarter into garbage time.

Zhang Xiaotian scored 20+ again after a game, maintaining sufficient efficiency.

The second back-to-back game is also the belly of the West, Love's old club Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves are actually not players who have not played, but the team has not yet clarified a new core, and the impact of injuries makes them have no intention of striving for results.

Love is not excited to play against his old club, but Wiggins is very desperate.

Irving's state is mediocre this time, but James still feels very good.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves played a few minutes of efficient offense and turned the score over. Seeing that the two sides were about to fall into a hard fight, Zhang Xiaotian teamed up with James to play a 16:2 spurt to seal the victory.

Compared with the Cavaliers, the Timberwolves have no determination to win at critical moments.

The Cavaliers also won ten consecutive victories, which really showed the demeanor of a strong team.

At this point in the schedule, there are already two worlds between teams chasing the playoffs and teams that perform poorly.

Of course, the goal of the Cavaliers in the regular season is to get a good ranking in the Eastern Conference. The previous good teams, the Wizards, Raptors, and Bulls, all seem to lack stamina.

However, the Eagles, who were not so conspicuous at the beginning, secured the No. 19 throne in the East by virtue of their [-]-game winning streak.

It was completely an accident that the Eagles would be so fierce. Now that the Cavaliers want to catch up with each other, they not only need to win more victories, but also need the Eagles to lose a few more games.

However, the pursuit of the Cavaliers is in the playoffs, and they don't necessarily have to compete with other teams in the regular season.

Yang Feiyu went back to arrange the company's affairs before the Spring Festival, and the family became quiet again, Zhang Xiaotian really didn't quite adapt.

He posted a photo of Zhang Lianli and interacted with the fans, but it was reposted by many people in an instant.

He doesn't like to go out very much, and the enthusiasm of the fans is not inconvenient, but very heartwarming.

During Eddie's visit, Zhang Xiaotian's own branding made a certain cooperative brand a little worried, thinking that this would reduce Zhang Xiaotian's influence.

Eddie is a little worried that the other party won't renew his contract, but Zhang Xiaotian can see through it. He has many fans and has been selected as an All-Star. The team's record is good and the exposure rate is high. Even if there is no big sports brand to support him, the endorsement effect will still not Difference.

If a brand is unwilling, you can contact the same type of product. Of course, it is very good for everyone to continue to cooperate. He is a very professional person.

The time came to February, and the Cavaliers' first game was to accept the challenge of the 76ers at home.

The 76ers are continuing to perform poorly. The best rookie of last season, McAway, has not grown as expected. The 76ers' idea of ​​cultivating him as the core has become less and less.

Dealing with fish belly, the Cavaliers are not as tangled as they were at the beginning of the season.

They have been in control of the situation since the first quarter, and the 76ers also frantically chased points for a period of time during the rotation time, but when the Cavaliers tightened up, they immediately withered, in line with the usual characteristics of weak teams.

The Cavaliers have changed more than that. From the seven-man rotation when the main force was the most, it is now a nine-man rotation, especially this time Dellavedova, JR Smith and Shumpert all played well.

And among these nine people, veterans who can top at critical times are not included.

The configuration of the knight, after a good run-in, will be really powerful.

Maybe a little younger, not referring to age and experience, but the contract problems brought about by this. The problem with the Heat last season was that they were too old, and the Cavaliers were just the opposite.

Easily won the 76ers, the Cavaliers continued their winning streak, but it will be harder next time, and it will be back to back, and the first game will be the relatively difficult Clippers.

At this time, to be honest, the Cavaliers are no longer pursuing a winning streak. When they lost in a row, everyone gritted their teeth and wanted to win in a row to boost morale, but when they won [-] consecutive victories, their goal was basically achieved.

The team is now more concerned about how to retain the good experience during the winning streak and make a team that everyone is satisfied with really take shape.
