The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 312
Only 1 point away, the Cavaliers have players standing inside, and the tactics of receiving the ball are slightly different from the past.

Owen didn't feel good, this time he ran to the far corner.

James made a counter-run fake near the free throw line and was the first to rush to catch the ball.

The two Bulls squeezed over and clamped James. James rushed to the sideline and didn't stop, but turned around and rushed to the inside.

Zhang Xiaotian was the second to rush over to catch the ball, and it happened that the defender in front was caught by James' strong body and couldn't continue to block it.

This is not the result of a well-calculated tactic. The ball was originally designed for James to catch, and a tactic can be completed in 3 seconds. After James catches the ball, he can pass it to Zhang Xiaotian for him to shoot.

Zhang Xiaotian is the second point of receiving the ball, and the tactics need to be used flexibly by the players in the game.

After James rushed over, Zhang Xiaotian grabbed the gap.

He caught the ball and turned and moved laterally in one go, and then he didn't care about the Bulls' defenders and shot directly.

He didn't care whether it was a two-pointer or a three-pointer, he just adjusted a more comfortable shooting position.

The height Zhang Xiaotian pulled up made it difficult for the opponent to interfere.

"Three-point shot... hit it, it's a lore... Zhang Xiaotian, he performed very well today, he hit a three-pointer before, it's really amazing..."

In the excited words of the commentator, the Cavaliers won the match point.

At 98:96, Zhang Xiaotian once again defended his legend of mastering the final stage.

"These guys work hard every day," James said in a good mood after the game. "Yes, I am still a little surprised by the team's current performance in the playoffs. Zhang performed very well and he has become better , to get bigger, he was born for the big moments."

Zhang Xiaotian did not mean modesty in the interview, "I said that I will step forward when the team needs it. There is no difference between the playoffs and the regular season for me. I will continue to help the team win every game. A game until we are at the top."

The most frustrating thing now is the Bulls, even if the outside world did not expect the Cavaliers to be so tough.

This is the playoffs, where heroes rule the field.

On the same day, in the third game between the Western Rockets and the Clippers, Paul returned.

In fact, Paul, who has just returned, can't go all out, and the Rockets' restrictions on Griffin are okay, but they didn't expect the Clippers to explode outside.

JJ Redick scored 31 points and Rivers Jr. had 25 points. The game was thrown into garbage time in three quarters.

The Clippers are already strong on the inside, but if they shoot from the outside, there is really no way.

Clippers head coach Doug Rivers smiled like a chrysanthemum after the game. The outside world always criticized him for ignoring his ability to reuse his son. Now the performance of Jr. Rivers made him proud.

That's how father and son soldiers go into battle.

The Rockets lost today mainly on defense. In addition, they lacked a strong enough second point on the offensive end. No one stood up when Harden felt bad.

There is nothing to say about Howard's defense, but now the offense is a bit worse. His strength is already declining at the age of 30, and the number one center has already existed in name only.

Like the knight, with Zhang Xiaotian around, this kind of problem will not occur.

The other semifinal game in the Eastern Conference was ups and downs. Wall missed the game, but the Wizards used their lives to lead the Eagles by 21 points in the third quarter.

But in the last quarter, the Eagles evened the score with the help of substitute guard Dennis Schroeder, and then came the heroic script. 0.8 seconds before the end, Pierce decided the outcome, and "Truth" completed the mid-range shot lore.

It is worthwhile for the Wizards to introduce Pierce this season. Pierce is old, but the feeling of the critical moment is still there.

At the decisive moment of the playoffs, mental quality takes up a large proportion in many cases.

In the semi-finals, it seems that the strength of each team is almost the same, except for the surprising Cavaliers.

What fans are concerned about now is whether the Cavaliers can sweep the Bulls without a general.

The Bulls are not that kind of soft team, even if the situation is greatly unfavorable, they will not lose their fierceness.

However, Rose has remained healthy this season, Jimmy Butler has grown up, and a giant like Gasol has joined. The Bulls will be disappointed if they fall here.

It's just that Gasol strained his muscles in the last game, and the Bulls' inside advantage was also lost.

And their two strongest points are also the strengths of the Cavaliers, which is called untimely birth.

On May 5, the Bulls' last stand began.

They put Taj Gibson in the starting lineup, at least not on defense.

At the beginning of the game, Rose played very fiercely like a tiger.

You know, Rose is also the kind of player with strong self-esteem. Injuries made him lose the opportunity to pursue honor in the past few years. Now seeing the opportunity slipping away, he simply can't bear it.

Owen also tried his best in defense, but his body couldn't bear the impact of Rose.

Now I can only wait until the first and fourth grades and use Shumpert to defend.

Because of better defense, Shumpert is now more important than JR Smith.

This is determined by the team's configuration. The Cavaliers have no shortage of offense on the guard line. What they need is players who can help Irving share the defensive pressure.

Compared to the Bulls who were red-eyed by Rose alone, the Cavaliers played more as a team. Zhang Xiaotian, Irving and James were all scoring points.

Although the offensive performance is different, the scores of the two sides are still going up compared to each other.

When it came to the rotation period, the Cavaliers were replaced by a senior and a junior, but compared with the past, the number of rotation personnel was reduced. They didn't want to have long nights and dreams. It is serious to beat the Bulls quickly and then take a good rest.

The Bulls also reduced their rotation. They were forced to play hard.

Therefore, when the substitutes on both sides have no chance to play, it depends on the situation of the main force, and to be precise, it depends on the performance of the stars.

James on the Cavaliers side began to exert force, constantly attacking the Bulls inside, but Rose on the Bulls side was a little bit off, he was no longer at the peak, and was being targeted by the Cavaliers, and he couldn't get up.

In fact, Ross just took a breath and didn't think about tactics at all. Problems will definitely occur after a long time.

Before the Bulls could adjust, the Cavaliers played a small climax and ended the first half with a 10-point lead.

Rose was also very annoyed during the halftime break. He also wanted to connect the team together, but he is really not this type. At his peak, he can still enjoy the treatment of being flanked and distribute the ball, but now the Cavaliers are often single-handed. He attacks.

Rose was very depressed, but he firmly believed in his heart that as long as he regained his physical strength, he could still fight, no matter who was defending in front.

The Cavaliers are carefully arranging defensive tactics.

For Pau Gasol, their tactical layout is much easier. They also lack an offensive point inside, but the Cavaliers and Bulls are different. Their individual offensive capabilities at several ball-holding points are stronger.
