The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 392
Zhang Xiaotian may not be as proficient as Draymond Green in assisting defense in the interior, but he won't have a problem at the top for a while, and more importantly, his offense is much better than Draymond Green.

After Zhang Xiaotian sent the block, he directly launched a counterattack, and then stopped the opponent from outside the three-point line and made a direct hit.

Assisting defense is still easier than defending James, and he has also improved in terms of scoring.

Within halftime, three players scored over 20 points. James, Klay Thompson, and Zhang Xiaotian were the last one. Irving was almost there, and Curry was suppressed by Irving.

It's just that at this time the team had problems again. Bogut, who had sent out three blocked shots after playing for a short time, was injured. The Warriors really can only play a small lineup.

Did the Warriors use very little to the other insiders in the playoffs? Speights couldn't help defend, so he could only use Azeri to cover it. It was just a critical moment in the finals, and Kerr didn't trust them.

Zhang Xiaotian's performance was not bad just now, but the Cavaliers realized that he could still perform well enough.

With the game at this level, neither side wants to have any surprises.

But the team lost two starters, so the Warriors can only bite the bullet.

Before halftime, Zhang Xiaotian made another three-pointer to help the team end the first half with a 2-point lead.

The strong points of both teams are very good. This is a real star matchup.

During the intermission, both sides made targeted arrangements.

But in the third quarter, many arrangements were not used.

The Warriors' defense against James and Irving has increased in strength. Neither of them got as many shots as they did in the first half, but they couldn't resist their amazing shooting percentage.

They got pushed beyond the arc, and then both James and Irving shot 100 percent from deep.

There was a problem with the Warriors' three-point shooting rate. Seeing that the Cavaliers were about to lead by double digits, Zhang Xiaotian stepped forward again. At the end of the third quarter, he scored 5 points in a row to help the team maintain the score gap at single digits.

This is a problem on the offensive end. The Warriors and others have fallen behind in the offensive, which is very depressing.

And the Cavaliers didn't have any unexpected tactics at all, it was completely star ability, should they kneel this time?

No, Zhang Xiaotian didn't give up at all in his heart. This game was where he had the most possessions. So what if the team lost the general. The current score gap is still within an acceptable range. He wants to lead the team to win the game.

Cole asked him if he wanted to rest, Zhang Xiaotian shook his head decisively.

His physical strength is adjusted very well, even if he plays 48 minutes, there is no problem, let alone the second half.

His strongest fourth quarter, he must not waste a second on the bench.

"I have a hunch that the gods are going to go crazy."

"I still need you to have a hunch that the gods will not go crazy at the last quarter."

"Are you blind, the gods are already going crazy, and the gods can definitely kill James."

Zhang Xiaotian's fans are also encouraging Zhang Xiaotian in their own way at this time.

On the sidelines, his fans, his family are all there.

It would be a wonderful thing to win the championship at home, and he will give everything in this battle.

Holding the lead in this game, the Cavaliers let James take a break at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Irving led the team, and defending Zhang Xiaotian was Richard Jefferson, who was taller and heavier than Shumpert.

In the final quarter, Zhang Xiaotian was wicked enough, and the Cavaliers were already ready for the pincer attack. When James took a break, he would come up to defend himself.

But they were still not convinced enough, Zhang Xiaotian just scored a three-pointer, and Jefferson didn't have time to react with his decisive speed.

After Owen returned the CIC, Zhang Xiaotian made another hit against someone.

It was impossible for the flanking attack to go outside, Zhang Xiaotian just squeezed a step inside and forced it, the knight's flanking attack could not be so decisive.

Owen wanted to make a three-pointer, but this time he hit the iron.

Zhang Xiaotian immediately launched a counterattack when he got the rebound, and he couldn't stop it at all when he rushed to the front. The Cavaliers could only reach out and pull him down.

When Zhang Xiaotian made a free throw, James came up, there was no way, if he didn't make a free throw, the score would be overtaken.

After James came up, he also hit two points against someone.

Durant also shoots against others, but the methods of the two are different. Durant is mainly shooting, and James is mainly fighting.

Just push people away with strength, and you can't make any defensive moves.

Zhang Xiaotian's method is between confrontation and shooting. He is not as tall as Durant and not as strong as James, but his connection is very good.

The Warriors didn't hold it up until this time, and all the main players that should be on were brought back.

Curry received a pass from Zhang Xiaotian and hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, but then he played very hard.

James is now Zhang Xiaotian's main defense again. He improved his ability in the final quarter and did a very good defense.

The Cavaliers' offensive burden is still on Irving, and Irving is indeed suppressing Curry at this time.

The offensive talents of the two are different, but Uncle Drew does have some skills, especially when he is in a state.

It's even more terrifying when Curry is crazy. It was only a few games in the finals, and Curry didn't fully perform.

Irving's scoring made the scores of the two sides stalemate, always hovering at 4 or 5 points.

In the second half of the final quarter, both sides were a bit exhausted, and there were more and more strikes.

Zhang Xiaotian was double-teamed twice, and after passing the ball, his teammates missed.

Under such a situation, he also made up his mind and started all kinds of singles.

In terms of organizational ability, he is not yet top-notch. The key is that he is more inclined to score by himself at the last moment.

When the time was approaching 3 minutes, Zhang Xiaotian seized the opportunity of James' mistake and scored 5 points in a row, and the two teams tied at 109:109.

The Cavaliers were forced to timeout, but James, who hadn't scored for a few minutes after the timeout, rushed inside again and scored 2+1.

The Cavaliers have no way out, but it is not the end for the Warriors to lose one game.

In the last 3 minutes, the determination of the Cavaliers to win the game was obviously stronger.

It is also a big reason why the Warriors do not have a ruthless character like Draymond Green.

"Let's cheer up, we won the game at home, and we can celebrate with the time saved."

Zhang Xiaotian also didn't care what Curry and others would think, and began to direct the team loudly.

The Warriors attacked, Zhang Xiaotian asked for a cover, the Cavaliers didn't plan to change this time, James squeezed over directly.

This kind of situation is rare in the match between the two teams, but Zhang Xiaotian's hit rate against other players is really too high.

But this time, as if Zhang Xiaotian had predicted the opponent's move, he turned around and passed James who was pressing forward.

Kevin Love came to defend, but was a step too late, and hit Zhang Xiaotian with his big hand.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Zhang Xiaotian returned a 2+1 to the opponent.

After making the free throw, Zhang Xiaotian pointed to the sky with one hand and declared victory.
