The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 538
Feeling his true state, James no longer insisted.

There are no surprises in continuing to play. Their only hope is to return to the home court and play a beautiful turnaround, just like before.

Before that, he had to adjust his physical condition within a limited time.

Or, relying on him alone to return to the home court is useless, but this is already the last hope.

With only the last 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers voluntarily gave up and the Spurs made another victory.

The old man was also very pleased after the game, "We played very resolutely, our defense was very good and active, and we set the tone of the game."

Zhang Xiaotian was also interviewed by reporters. He said: "We can do better... Let me tell you a little secret, there is a mysterious connection between me and the trophy."

Soon, Zhang Xiaotian's joking remarks became a hot topic among fans all over the world.

Yang Feiyu twittered about the interesting stories, and Zhang Xiaotian was also very impressed. It turns out that he has become such an influential athlete, and a sentence in the interview can lead the topic, so he has to respond to the expectations of the fans.

Next they are going to the away game, this is the last chance for the Cavaliers.

The Spurs must not take it lightly. The Cavaliers have reversed several times before. Although the Spurs are much stronger than the opponents they have encountered before, psychological hints are sometimes useful in the game.

Zhang Xiaotian was going to play an away game, and many die-hard local fans organized a cheering activity to watch the game.

This can enhance the cohesion of the fans, even if the organizers bother to ensure safety.

In fact, it has already started on the other side of the ocean. It was planned by Yang Feiyu and operated by a fan organization. It can be regarded as a semi-commercial operation, warming up for the new products to be released in the summer in advance.

Zhang Xiaotian is too popular now, with more and more fan activities, he is also worried that there will be accidents.

Eddie still has experience in this field, so he asked Eddie to find a way to guide and regulate it. Maybe he can set up a formal studio, and Yang Feiyu may also want to do something after a while. There is no need to expand, and it would be nice to have another company. Sports and entertainment can be figured out in many ways.

Of course, Zhang Xiaotian just wanted an idea, he would not spend time on it.

It is serious to study opponents and lead the team to train efficiently.

To be honest, the team is expected to defend the title this time, and the old man is in a much better mood.

It is indeed a bit of a toss to dribble away, and the "unfriendly" atmosphere has to bear more pressure.

But the playoffs are better than the regular season, the time is not so tight, the physical condition is easier to adjust, and the concentration of the players is different, and the outside interference is not felt so much.

Back at home, the mental outlook of the Cavaliers is still different.

James tried his best to mobilize his teammates. Since the super mode can't win, the only hope is that the whole team will explode.

This time his teammates are also very cooperative. In fact, Love is still very stable most of the time, but when the confrontation is the most intense, his efficiency will often be reduced. This is also a side effect of the all-around insider's weight loss.

The other positions are basically more nerve-wracking. The performance in the first quarter was better, and the Spurs' defense felt the pressure.

After all, even if James is organizing a lot of time, the defensive attention is mainly focused on him.

Zhang Xiaotian's active skill is the last game, and this away game cannot fail for him.

So when James didn't focus on scoring himself, Zhang Xiaotian did the opposite.

"Why, aren't you afraid? Let's compare again."

James glared angrily, and decided to ignore Zhang Xiaotian's nonsense.

However, Zhang Xiaotian's efficiency was really good when he used the cover singles. Even if the Cavaliers' role players performed well, they could not quickly open the score at home.

Sometimes the game is to see if the other side can stabilize, and then take advantage of the opponent's instability to establish an advantage in one fell swoop.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being seized by the Spurs, James still looked like he didn't plan to rest.

However, he reduced his aggressive attacks, obviously accumulating energy.

At home, he changed his style of play again, and he might be able to last the entire game in the Spurs' defense.

Of course, the Spurs will not watch the opponent use various strategies. Both Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard actively seek confrontation. Anyway, they will rest during the game and are not afraid of exhaustion.

During the rotation period, the Cavaliers' bench lineup unexpectedly played well. Although Korver, who was strictly guarded by the Spurs, did not perform, Hood showed it.

The Spurs' substitutes didn't hit very well this time, and the Cavaliers finally gained the lead.

The Cavaliers fans in the stands worked hard to cheer up, and they were looking forward to the Cavaliers showing another miracle.

With the experience of losing first and then winning, the fans will definitely look forward to it.

At this time, what the Spurs have to do is to contain the opponent's momentum and not make the opponent's expectations come true.

We should be more active defensively, rotate faster, pay attention to players in good condition, and play well on the offensive end.

After Zhang Xiaotian played again, he still did not hesitate to attack with all kinds of physical strength, and he also made decisive three-pointers from the outside.

Maybe it's because the active skills can't be used in the next game, Zhang Xiaotian pays special attention to scoring this time.

James may not know that his way of gathering energy and trying his best to organize his play just gave Zhang Xiaotian the opportunity to explode on the offensive end.

Zhang Xiaotian's shooting rate is very good, and James also wants to completely limit him.

It's just that modern basketball tactics are sophisticated, not the previous one-on-one era. Unless Zhang Xiaotian is willing, James can't always defend.

Fortunately, both Love and JR Smith are considered stable, and the Cavaliers still maintain the lead.

James will definitely strengthen his personal offense in the second half. If other players can stand up together in the first half and maintain the lead until the end, their plan will be achieved.

Zhang Xiaotian hit another three-pointer at the end of the first half and scored the highest score in the half, but the Spurs were still a few points behind the Cavaliers.

The opponent's role player stood up, and for the Spurs, there was a flaw in the defensive tactics.

It's not that they couldn't predict this situation, because they still haven't completely changed their defensive strategy after discovering the Cavaliers' intentions.

It's just that the biggest threat to the Spurs is always not other players, and they cannot relax.

For other players, as long as the defensive strength is improved in the second half, it will be almost the same. At most, they will fight for the offensive end, and the opponent's strengths must not be let up.

There are very few teams that are accidentally killed in the playoffs, and they have to hang on.

This is a professional team, and any tactics used are planned.

What's more, when Zhang Xiaotian went all out to attack in the second quarter, in order to keep the team's lead, James had already changed some styles of play. Even if the score led, the Cavaliers were more worried.
