The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 304 Accidents
As a friend, Zhang Xiaotian congratulated Leonard on his performance.

Compared with the previous ones, the Spurs have changed a lot of tactics. Leonard has become the core of the team. Popovich should have really made up his mind. The Spurs have entered a new era.

In the third game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers in another group in the West, the Grizzlies won again.

Although the Trail Blazers had 4 players who scored 20+ points, they were still suppressed throughout the game and never took the lead.

But Conley's retirement from this injury also laid some hidden dangers for the Grizzlies.

CJ McCrum may be the only gain for the Blazers. They suddenly discovered that there is still a young man in the team who can score 20+.

The Hawks and the Nets were the last team to play the third game. The Nets finally received results after starting Bogdanovic. He won the shooter duel with Korver and helped the team Took a round.

Of course, the advantage of the Nets is always Lopez's side. Although Millsap grabbed 17 rebounds, the Nets still won this inside battle.

If it weren't for Deron's degradation too much, the Nets actually still have hope.

This side is still playing the third game, and on the same day, two groups of teams are already entering the fourth game.

In the game between the Bulls and the Bucks, the Bucks finally got back a game without being swept.

Rose, the hero who played, became the king of turnovers this time, and a fatal mistake at the last moment made the team a lore.

After the game, Bulls coach Thibodeau, who has always been strict, did not blame the players too much, especially Rose's performance, "We held the ball for too long, and I will not attribute the loss to the last round. In fact, There were a lot of possessions in the game where we could have played better... I don't mind Rose having the ball in the open, 10 times out of 9 he's going to be great... Going forward, I still believe he can find Back to status."

But Rose took all the responsibility for the loss after the game, "I have to take full responsibility because I didn't protect the ball...I messed up the game, which really hurts. I don't feel sorry for myself, I'm sorry for my teammates," Rose said, "In the game, if you let the opponent layup and complete the lore, it is definitely very uncomfortable...In the whole game, we seemed to have 27 turnovers, of which 20 were probably It's all about me."

It can only be said that Rose is really not at his peak anymore, and his super performance on the field made him hallucinate.

On the Warriors side, they simply swept the Pelicans 4:0.

Curry scored a quasi triple-double of 39+9+8 and was completely unstoppable in the game.

In front of Curry, Klay Thompson, who scored 20+ in a row, seemed a little ordinary, but the two of them plus Draymond Green really dominated this series.

Anthony Davis is good, but he can't bring the team even a win.

I can only sigh that their opponents are too strong. If they meet other teams, it shouldn't be so miserable.

On April 4, there will be three groups of teams that have already reached 26:3 for the fourth game.

Whether they can sweep their opponents is the focus of fans' attention, including the Cavaliers.

The Celtics, who had a last stand, finally changed their starting lineup, but it was only a fine-tuning.

Smart, who was defended by Zhang Xiaotian and doubted his life, became a substitute. Jae Crowder came up to defend James. Turner was too weak. He was like a cardboard man in front of James, but he had a good defensive awareness and attitude. The Walters replaced him with Zhang Xiaotian.

This starting lineup is slightly stronger defensively, but there is no qualitative change in scoring.

When Turner is restricted, that is, Bradley can play with the ball. In fact, Turner's strength is not as bad as his performance in this round, but he was really restrained when he met the Cavaliers.

The point is, this starting lineup didn't really limit the Cavaliers.

Jae Crowder can't defend James alone, he still needs to help defend, James broke through and scored, Irving and Zhang Xiaotian hit consecutive three-pointers, within half a quarter, the Cavaliers led by 10 points.

The Celtics replaced Isaiah Thomas in the first 4 minutes, then removed Jae Crowder and Turner, and replaced them with a full offensive lineup with good shots.

They were already standing on the edge of the cliff, and they didn't care about anything else.

At this time, an unexpected scene appeared.

When Love was fighting for a rebound, his arm was clamped tightly by Olynik, and his left shoulder was injured.

Arm entanglement is a small movement commonly used in inside melee combat, but this time the two sides exerted too much force, and Love dislocated his arm and had to retreat.

When such a thing happened, the smell of gunpowder on the field of both sides became stronger.

Especially the Cavaliers, they are aiming for the championship. Who can bear the injury of a general in the first round.

Don't look at Love's regular season scoring is only ranked fourth in the team, but his tactics are very important.

That's all for defense and rebounding, the key is to open up space in offense.

Only when the inside line can be pulled out can James' breakthrough and scoring be effective to the greatest extent.

This is also the reason why the team spent a lot of money in exchange for Love. Neither Tristan Thompson nor Mozgov could pull out to give James a breakthrough space. If Love has something to do, the Cavaliers are more than a little trouble.

There was an accident, and the team had to strive for more rest time.

Zhang Xiaotian, Irving and James all reduced their rest time and played against the Celtics directly on the court.

Celtics coach Stevens tried various lineups, 13 players came up to try, still no lineup can limit the three.

In order to open up space, the Cavaliers played Tristan Thompson after Love was off the court.

With Love not on the court, the two insiders will definitely have no space. They also want to take advantage of the Celtics before they can react.

The Cavaliers and Cavaliers also played this season, but they didn't use them much. Fortunately, the Celtics didn't have any ruthless insiders, and the Cavaliers led by more than [-] points at halftime.

During the intermission, the Cavaliers got the news that Love may not be able to play the next game.

The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became a little strange. The Celtics could not win this series due to their strength, and what happened to Love was completely detrimental to the opponent.

In the second half, the smell of gunpowder was stronger, and JR Smith was expelled for a flagrant foul.

It was only at this time that the Cavaliers realized the problem. They were already in trouble, and new troubles could not arise.

What they need is to win the game quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

After correcting his mentality, James began to restrain his teammates.

The leadership ability of James is quite good. In the third quarter, the Celtics took the opportunity to catch up with some scores due to emotional problems, but it is not a big problem for the Cavaliers.

At the end of the third quarter, Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-pointer.

In the final quarter, the Cavaliers did not let Zhang Xiaotian, Irving, and James rest, and the three directly played a small climax on the offensive end, extending the lead to 20 points again.
