The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 390 Superstar Fan

On June 6, the Cavaliers' second home game in the Finals.

Love did not start, but appeared on the bench, the previous smoke bomb also settled.

But for the Warriors, there will be no adjustments to their tactics without Love. Love's insufficient defensive ability and offensive methods are destined to not allow the Warriors to make changes.

So Zhang Xiaotian didn't understand what the Cavaliers were doing in hiding. Love was a weapon on the offensive end, and his presence on the court would only change the Cavaliers' offense.

On the defensive end, Love is not useless. He can stand alone and defend. It's just that the Warriors don't have the inside line to hold the ball in the low post, so Love can show his defensive ability.

The so-called lineup restraint is exactly that.

At the beginning of this game, Irving was still the first to show off on the Cavaliers side.

Although no one broke points on the Warriors side, Curry and Klay Thompson are normal.

It is impossible to expect players at the All-Star level to be often unreliable.

As soon as they opened, Zhang Xiaotian also got some easy opportunities.

It is impossible for James to defend Zhang Xiaotian like Zhang Xiaotian did to him. The status of the two sides in the team is different. Zhang Xiaotian can touch the ball less in front, but it is impossible for James.

When both sides are in normal condition, Zhang Xiaotian can limit James' shooting rate to less than [-]%.

James' impact can easily interfere with the quality of defense, which is a little worse than restricting Durant.

However, James' explosive points are not as fierce as Durant's. With Zhang Xiaotian, no one in the third position can play superstar basketball to defeat a team.

JR Smith from outside the three-point line is unreliable again. The Cavaliers' offense is not as stable as the Warriors after all.

However, relying on Irving's performance, the Cavaliers were only 1 point behind in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Irving's strength remained undiminished, and Love's scoring efficiency during the rotation period was not bad. The Cavaliers actually overtook the game, which also attracted cheers from the home audience.

"LeBron, are you going to wait until the fourth quarter to play against me? It will be difficult then."

James was also a little upset that the person he once regarded as his younger brother spat trash on him.

"Zhang, it's the same as in training before. I can beat you at any time, but now I want to help the team win the series. Your little tricks can be put away."

"Really, it's a pity that we are leading the series, and we will win today."

James almost cursed, but he regained his sanity in an instant.

He was also a bit depressed when the total score fell behind, but he was still full of confidence. He believed that the strength of the Cavaliers was no worse than that of the Warriors, but for this reason, he alone could not beat the Warriors.

In these two games, Irving had more opportunities to play with the ball, which is also a better way for the Cavaliers to try to win.

Irving is not a pure shooter, and his defense is not good. He is completely different from Wade, but he is extremely talented on the offensive end. In addition, there is Love, the ball and the linkage between them. James is also trying to find a way.

It can't be blamed that they didn't seek change until the finals. There are not many opponents in the regular season. They didn't get any substantial obstacles when they rushed out of the Eastern Conference. to what extent.

James is a little regretful now, and a little depressed.

Could it be that he is really old and can't carry the team on his shoulders? In fact, he also wants to handle the game more neatly. As long as he wants to, no matter how good Zhang Xiaotian's defense is, he can't completely restrict him.

But if he wants to be responsible for the team, he must mobilize the whole team.

The Splash Brothers recovered in the first half, but the team's offense and defense could not satisfy Cole.

The team needs Curry to explode like before, and the team needs Green to be tougher on the defensive end.

In fact, Zhang Xiaotian was the one who performed the most steadily. He only needed to maintain a good defense against James and hit a few shots steadily.

Curry is an extremely proud person. As soon as the coach said it, he hit a three-pointer against the defense at the beginning of the third quarter.

Needless to say, Klay Thompson is also an extremely stable player. After Curry showed off, he also hit a three-pointer.

In the third quarter of this game, the Warriors finally played their most accustomed rhythm.

For the Cavaliers, Irving is still scoring points, but he no longer has the threat of the first quarter. From the second quarter, Irving began to score purely and did not send out any more assists.

The Warriors' three-pointer has already been opened, and if the Cavaliers can't open the three-pointer, they can only admit defeat.

Both teams are among the best small ball players in the league. Although their tactics are completely different, they have one thing in common, that is, three-pointers must be played on the offensive end.

The Cavaliers didn't start the offense, they just played a few star shots, and they were overtaken by the Warriors in the second half of the third quarter.

At this time, the role players of the Cavaliers are even more afraid to shoot. Almost all James and Irving play with the ball.

The strength of the two is indeed powerful, but it is too tiring to fight like this. As long as there is a little negligence, it is easy for the Warriors to switch offense and defense.

In addition, the Warriors have more people who can play, and the core players can play off the ball. This advantage is beyond the reach of the Cavaliers. They are like the Thunder. In the end, only two players can distribute the ball.

On the Warriors' side, an open space is a sharp arrow.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, although the Cavaliers were not far behind, the Big Three were all on the court.

If the Warriors get the match point in this game, it will be difficult to play the next game, so the Cavaliers have to work hard in advance.

For the Warriors, Zhang Xiaotian is still partnering with Klay Thompson.

When Zhang Xiaotian went all out to attack, Iguodala took over on the defensive end.

Iguodala is even more disadvantaged in strength, and he also has a unique skill, which is to strike fast and ruthlessly.

James also concentrated all his energy facing Zhang Xiaotian at this time, dominating the last quarter, and everyone stayed together for two seasons, James will definitely not take any chances.

But Zhang Xiaotian's strength is much stronger than he imagined, using active skills, the first three quarters are already powerful enough, let alone the last quarter.

Besides, there was no real heads-up on the court, Zhang Xiaotian called a screen, and hit a three-pointer right away.

If you change someone, you will hit hard. If you don't change someone, James must be fast enough to squeeze through the screen.

In less than 2 minutes, the Warriors found that Zhang Xiaotian was much more difficult to deal with than expected.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaotian gave the ball to Barnes the moment he was flanked, and the latter hit a three-pointer, James also had some complaints in his heart. If the management was not reluctant to part with the dollar, the person in front of him should still be supporting him.

Now Zhang Xiaotian is not only in the end of the offense, but also has reached the top level in organization and defense. The Cavaliers' Big Three are all on the court and the score is still stretched. How can the game be played.

Playing hard, there was no retreat on the court, and both James and Irving stepped up their breakthroughs.

However, the strength of the Warriors is still increasing.
