The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 294 Team Strength
On March 3, the Cavaliers went to Toronto to play back-to-back away games.

The two core players of the Raptors also suffered some minor injuries during this period, and their results were not as conspicuous as in the first half, but there must be no problem in the playoffs.

This Lowry truce, the Cavaliers could have easily resolved it.

Unexpectedly, their substitute player Louis Williams scored 21 points in the final quarter, and the Cavaliers almost capsized.

Fortunately, the Raptors couldn't defend against James and Zhang Xiaotian, so the Cavaliers kept their victory.

This game also made the Cavaliers vigilant. The Raptors Lowry almost overturned them without playing.

The Raptors are now fourth in the East, and the Eagles and Bulls are not easy to get along with.

In the next back-to-back, the Cavaliers suffered a real blow.

They lost to the Eastern Conference's No. 9 Eagles by [-] points, and both James and Love were completely restricted.

This time, the outside world's remarks changed accordingly, saying that the Cavaliers' games did not have the slightest shadow of tactics, they were just consuming stars, and they would only fail if they encountered a real team like the Eagles.

This made David Blatt tangled again, but fortunately, he didn't tangled for long.

At this point in the regular season, everyone knows what the team is like.

Losing to the Eagles can be described as success or defeat for James.

James has a relatively large proportion of the ball, and when he feels messed up, the team will become very tangled.

However, this kind of situation should not happen in the playoffs. A star of his level will not experience continuous downturns. In fact, James can adjust it in one game.

If you just give him a lot of shots to adjust, the result will often be the team's failure.

The response to the spring clothes that are optional to opt out is only average, after all, there is no second generation of gods to match it.

But there is good news. Through market research, it has been confirmed that Free Choice has gained a certain reputation across the ocean, because the workmanship is exquisite and the price is quite high, and some consumers other than fans think it is good.

A high price is a good thing, and consumers in many parts of the world think so.

Niche brands, high-end brands, fan brands, Zhang Xiaotian's plan at the beginning has been steadily implemented, and he himself only needs to play well in the league.

On March 3, the Cavaliers returned to their home court against the Suns, who could only theoretically enter the playoffs.

It may be exaggerated in theory, but there are several games behind the top eight, and it is indeed difficult to catch up.

The Cavaliers players, who had suffered a defeat and sobered up a lot, played a good game again.

The game was resolved in three quarters, and they showed the strength of a first-class team on both offensive and defensive ends.

However, in the fourth quarter, the bench players played ugly. It was not the first time that during the team's garbage time, those bench players who didn't play much were not opponents of the opponent's substitute at all.

In other words, the Cavaliers should not expect surprise soldiers among those people in the playoffs.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers have enough players to play now, and there are not many opportunities to be in the shooter lineup.

Although the lineup was built according to the previous Heat, by this time the Cavaliers already had their own style and were very strong.

In fact, the outside media and fans are arguing endlessly. There are still professional judgments on the strength of the Cavaliers in the circle. The styles of Zhang Xiaotian, James, Irving and Love are destined not to be 100% integrated, but the current level can be compared with any team. It's a war.

On March 3th, the Cavaliers came to Dallas. Starting today, they will play four consecutive away games. Two opponents in the West are difficult to deal with, that is, the Mavericks and the Spurs.

The Mavericks' lineup this season is not bad, and they traded Stoudemire and Rajon Rondo in the later period, and they still have ideas.

It's just that Nowitzki's strength has declined year by year with age, and Monta Ellis and Parsons have not reached the All-Star level, which has caused the Mavericks to be unable to enter the lineup of a strong team.

And Rajon Rondo hasn't run in well with the team, and he can't play his organizational level at all.

But if the Mavericks had such a lineup in Xia Tian, ​​Zhang Xiaotian might be tempted.

It's just that even if he joins the Mavericks, the problem of not having a top star is still unsolvable. You must know that his goal is the championship. Unlike Duncan, Nowitzki can contribute on the defensive end. The Mavericks will go well in the playoffs. Far is really hard.

At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks showed their offensive power. As mentioned earlier, their lineup's offensive and defensive problems are not very big, but they lack decisive players.

The Cavaliers' main lineup is still a little bit cheaper, but it's not so good when it comes to rotation time.

The Mavericks have a few bench bandits who can score, although they are not top-notch, and they have slightly more players than the Cavaliers.

After the Cavaliers had Mozgov, the team's internal defense has improved to a certain extent, but only a few times. Mozgov's defensive ability is not top-notch. None of the Cavaliers' other insiders have this ability. It just so happens that the Mavericks The inside substitutes are all good. In the first quarter, the Mavericks took the lead.

But as Tyson Chandler got his third foul in the second quarter, the Cavaliers gradually took the initiative.

Zhang Xiaotian, James and Irving all scored in double figures, overtaking the score and extending their lead to double digits.

On the Mavericks side, there was some misfire. Monta Ellis took up the footsteps relatively quickly and kept shooting in front of Zhang Xiaotian. To be honest, Zhang Xiaotian still couldn't fully keep up, but the opponent put most of their energy on shooting in order to get rid of him. In the previous part, when it was time to make a move, the iron was often struck.

And compared to the speed of Harden's rhythm change, Monta Ellis is still easier to defend.

This is the reason why the situation changes in the second quarter of the game.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers led by more than 20 points. Nowitzki can't save the team at all, and he can't gain the upper hand against Love.

Zhang Xiaotian was also a little bit emotional when he saw this scene. If the Mavericks can't find a successor for Nowitzki, they will definitely be silent.

The fourth quarter was completely garbage time. It wasn't that the Mavericks had already reached the level of fish belly, but their strength just hit the Cavaliers.

Not to mention Nowitzki, Monta Ellis and Parsons are right up against Zhang Xiaotian and James, their strengths are limited, and the Mavericks will naturally collapse.

However, compared to the Mavericks, who have had no explosive points in the past two years, the outside world is more looking forward to the Cavaliers' away game against the Spurs.

The Spurs' record is actually similar to that of the Mavericks, but there is a topic between the two teams.

The relationship between Zhang Xiaotian and the Spurs, the grievances between James and the Spurs, and unlike the Mavericks, the Spurs have improved this season with Leonard, and the playoffs are still worth looking forward to.
