The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 426 Battle Knights
Jokic took a good look at the data. The Spurs did not have a player who could defend him alone, but the Spurs also easily won 35 wins, setting a new winning streak.

After the game, Danny Green, who had not started for a long time, was interviewed and talked about how the rookie won the trust of coach Gregg Popovich. He said that a stupid mistake would ruin everything.

Regarding rookie Dejounte Murray, who scored a new career high, Green said: "The sky is the limit for him. He is young, athletic, tall, and he is starting to hit shots. He has learned Parker's floater. .”

As for Gasol's injury, it does take some time to recover.

Green said: "We will see some positive places from this, these young players have a chance to stand up."

This is the life of the Spurs, Zhang Xiaotian said inwardly, if the players who take advantage of the opportunity are worth a lot, the Spurs probably won't renew their contracts.

The low-key Spurs can't keep a low profile during this time because of the team's performance.

Now the outside world is not only concerned about how far they will refresh the winning streak, but also the next battle between them and the Cavaliers.

James' younger brother has already started spraying, saying that the Cavaliers can easily end the Spurs' winning streak and make Zhang Xiaotian look good

But the Spurs have already broken the record, and his words are not shocking enough.

The key is that this guy's finger is injured and he is in a truce, so he can stand and talk without back pain.

The Cavaliers' record this season is neither bad nor bad, and the light is a bit overshadowed by the Spurs and Warriors.

Moreover, their style of play is becoming more and more star-like, and it is difficult for others to perform

They made a deal a few days ago and got Korver from the Hawks, which is a good addition to James.

James needs a shooter. After Zhang Xiaotian left the Cavaliers, the team has found a way to match a lot of shooters. Korver is a little older, but his technical characteristics are definitely suitable for the Cavaliers.

This time the Spurs play away, the Cavaliers definitely want to win.

James is calm on the surface. In fact, he cares about every time his team plays against a team.

The Cavaliers are not very strong inside, but the Spurs still let Dedmon start playing double inside this time.

The Spurs are very strong in playing first and fourth juniors, but it also consumes a lot of Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, so they rarely show it at the beginning.

At home, the Cavaliers started the game really well, hitting three-pointers in a row.

The Spurs still played from the inside, but Aldridge failed to play Love twice.

The two of them say that, although the types are not the same, they can almost limit each other.

And Dejounte Murray performed well in the starting lineup, and worked hard with Irving.

The Spurs' defense made the Cavaliers' three strong points uncomfortable, but their overall offense played very well.

The two teams at the beginning seemed to be reversed. The Spurs mainly relied on the individual offenses of Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, while the Cavaliers played very well as a team.

In fact, these are all ways to deal with defense, which shows that both teams have two brushes.

As for how long it lasts, it depends on each person's ability.

The Cavaliers took the lead, and they still made a fuss outside the three-point line during the rotation period.

There are a little less people playing now, and the methods they use are also idiomatic, the main force.

Although Popovich also rotated ten people this time, it increased the time of Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard and Aldridge on the court. This is a rare situation in the regular season, and Zhang Xiaotian also had some guesses about the old man's thoughts.

However, after coming off the bench, the Spurs' outside line gradually opened up. Mills, Danny Green, Ginobili, they are the players who rely on shooting for the Spurs.

Ginobili used to be an all-rounder like Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, but now he just comes out to surprise from time to time.

In the second quarter, the Spurs players slowed down the pace of the game and also hit a very high shooting percentage.

Only they can achieve this level. At halftime, the two sides came to the same starting line again.

Judging from the first half, the Cavaliers are also willing to share the ball, and it seems that the Spurs' defense should make some changes.

It's just that the Spurs know that it's just an illusion. What they have to do is to strengthen and restrict the opponent's two ball-holding points, James and Irving.

In the third quarter, James and Owen really stepped up their personal offense.

This is something to be expected. The two Cavaliers occupy a lot of ball possession and shooting opportunities, so the role players become extremely unstable. They cannot rely on the performance of role players to win in front of a strong team like the Spurs.

It can be said that Aldridge's unstable performance is also related to Zhang Xiaotian's joining.

However, Popovich's method of training role players is excellent, and the situation is not as extreme as the Cavaliers.

It's just that after Irving really exerted his strength, Dejounte Murray couldn't restrain him at all.

This is a normal thing. There are very few players in the league who can limit Irving.

But being unable to limit does not mean that the opponent's efficiency cannot be reduced. In fact, Irving's style of play is susceptible to some interference from the team's defense.

After half a quarter, the Spurs made adjustments, and the lineup was changed to one big and four small, and Danny Green came up to defend Irving.

On the James side, Zhang Xiaotian was replaced as the main defense, and Leonard went to the fourth position.

Because of Leonard's presence, Zhang Xiaotian's defensive tasks are often a lot lighter, but when encountering a hard bone like James, he still has to take turns with Leonard to ensure that James is in a fierce confrontation every second on the court.

The scores of the two teams were very tangled, and both teams put in all their energy.

But at the end of the third quarter, Irving first hit a difficult three-pointer, and then Tristan Thompson blocked Ginobili, and the Cavaliers scored 5 points in a row to take the lead.

In the final quarter, James did not end and personally restricted Zhang Xiaotian.

He used to think that Zhang Xiaotian's understanding was very deep, but after being swept last season, James realized that he hadn't paid enough attention to it.

In the fourth quarter when Zhang Xiaotian was the strongest, he would not relax for a second.

In the last quarter, the two got entangled together, but after facing each other, James felt that Zhang Xiaotian had become stronger again.

But he must not lose. Under the stimulus, James raised his elbow when he broke through.

Then he made a mistake in the pinch, and made two mistakes in a row. James had a problem with his mentality.

Zhang Xiaotian took the opportunity to win back the score, and deliberately said: "LeBron, you seem to be really old."

However, after spraying some trash talk, James calmed down.

"Zhang, are you afraid? I won't let you play to your heart's content."

I have to say that it is really not easy to play against James, he is too strong.

James began to create opportunities for his teammates on the offensive end, but unfortunately the Cavaliers' role players are no longer as efficient as they were at the beginning.

After two rounds without scoring, the Spurs took the lead in adjusting and replaced Leonard.
