Chapter 214 First win in the playoffs!
The game was very anxious, but tonight the 76ers pressed the Cavaliers from beginning to end, and did not let the Cavaliers lead by one point.

The tense atmosphere and fierce battle made the 76ers fans excited and nervous.

The game restarted, and the Cavaliers went on the offensive.

Irving saw that James was already standing in his best left 45-degree position to ask for the ball.

Irving immediately passed the ball to James.

Seeing James receive the ball, although he was blown up the whole game, Grant still greeted him without fear at this time, marking the opponent.

James has full confidence in his offense.

After sweeping the court, James turned and hit Grant with his back.

Under the impact of James, Grant was pushed back into the penalty area by James.

As soon as he reached the penalty area, James just received the ball and was about to turn around and shoot.

Zhang Zifeng suddenly dropped JR. Smith and ran to double-team James.

Zhang Zifeng ran over to double-team, although it disrupted James' rhythm.But with a glance, he saw that JR. Smith, who was shorted, had already cut inside.

James immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to JR Smith who cut inside.

Cut inside and ran into the penalty area, received a pass from James, JR. Smith leaped high, evaded Noel's block in the air, and made a pick-up layup.

Just when JR. Smith thought he had the ball.

Suddenly a black figure appeared behind him, JR. Smith was taken aback!
The soaring basketball stopped in an instant and continued to rise into the air. It was shot at the backboard and bounced back to the penalty area.

"Zhang Zifeng blocked JR Smith's dunk!"

"Great job, Zhang!"

"Well done, Zhang. Keep giving that idiot a big hat!"

While the 76ers fans were cheering, Zhang Zifeng had already received a pass from Josh Smith and ran to the front court at a high speed.

Defensively counterattacked, the Cavaliers could not stop the effective defense at all, and could only passively keep up.

Zhang Zifeng rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, and Owen had already retreated to the inside of the backcourt. He was about to block Zhang Zifeng.

Zhang Zifeng threw the ball into the air, and Owen quickly turned around to see where the ball was going.

Josh Smith, who was following up, received the ball in the middle, without stopping at all, and threw the ball directly into the air.

After Zhang Zifeng passed the ball, taking advantage of Owen's distraction, he continued to run forward.

Seeing that Josh Smith didn't stop, he threw the ball directly.

Zhang Zifeng jumped up in the penalty area knowingly, and caught the flying basketball in the air.

With the inertia of flying, Zhang Zifeng dunked the ball with one hand.

At this time, JR. Smith just ran back to the middle circle, watching Zhang Zifeng dunk alley-oop.He cursed secretly in annoyance, feeling very annoyed.

James is even more angry at this time, 5 points behind, it doesn't matter, there is still time, as long as the Cavaliers score this goal, then only 3 points away, there are more than 2 points left in the time, the pressure is all on the 76ers side.

But now there are only more than 2 minutes left, and they are still 7 points behind, and the pressure is on the Cavaliers.

Damn JR, what the hell was this bastard doing the whole time.

Again and again, he was blocked and intercepted by the Chinese.

James signaled with a look, and Tyronn Lue immediately made a gesture of substitution.

Exit JR Smith, enter Richard Jefferson.

Seeing that JR. Smith went off at the most critical moment, the fans of the 76ers suddenly burst into warm cheers and huge boos.

"Hey, you trash. Didn't you say you're thinking about your opponent in the next round? Looking at the current score, do you think you can advance to the next round? Just kidding, think about where to go for vacation!"

"Thank you for your inspiration, arrogant idiot!"

……

Mike Breen also explained, "Obviously JR. Smith's arrogant remarks before the game were very unwise, which inspired the fighting spirit of the 76ers. The game has come to an end, and now the 76ers lead by 7 points , occupying the advantage. The 76ers played very well in this game. On the contrary, the Cavaliers have been restricted, especially JR. Smith performed poorly. He only scored 7 points and contributed 5 times in this game Mistake. Now because of JR. Smith, the Cavaliers are behind. This time needs James to stand up!"

As legendary commentator Mike Breen put it, the Cavaliers are falling behind.LeBron James wants to stand up, just like before, and lead the Cavaliers to victory.

But this wonderful defensive counterattack near the end of the game widened the point difference to 7 points, which greatly inspired the morale of the 76ers.

The 76ers, as if they had been beaten to the bone, became more and more courageous as they fought, and they did not hesitate to run all over the field.

At the last moment, the 76ers seemed to be the one behind, and they pressed the whole court.

With a desperate attitude on the 76ers team, they abruptly increased their defensive strength. With the strong offensive power of the Cavaliers, they were unable to score for a full minute and a half.

The sudden improvement of the 76ers' defense made the Cavaliers very uncomfortable.

In the last 57 seconds of the game, the Cavaliers had the ball.

The Cavaliers must score this ball to have a chance to reverse, or enter overtime.

James broke through Grant's defense with the ball, and when he entered the penalty area, he was double-teamed by Noel, Josh Smith, and McConaughey.

James, who was completely double-teamed, had no choice but to jump up and pass the ball to Irving who was open on the outside, allowing him to score with a sharp offense.

What Zhang Zifeng was waiting for was this opportunity. At the moment James passed the ball, Zhang Zifeng suddenly jumped out, quickly stretched out his left hand, and cut off James' pass.

After the racket went forward, Zhang Zifeng ran out swiftly like a hunting dog.

When Owen reacted, Zhang Zifeng had already rushed to the frontcourt.

Zhang Zifeng's quick reaction surprised the Cavaliers. Before they could react, Zhang Zifeng had already rushed to the frontcourt.

"Oh, Zhang Zifeng steals it!" Mike Brin exclaimed.

"Zhang Zifeng's reaction is really surprising, can this goal be scored, can it help the 76ers expand the score?" Mark Jackson shouted watching Zhang Zifeng galloping on the field.

James, Irving, and Richard Jefferson chased closely behind Zhang Zifeng.

But Zhang Zifeng's dribbling speed is not slow, given the advantage of Zhang Zifeng running two seconds ahead of them.

James and Irving couldn't catch up with Zhang Zifeng at all.

He could only watch helplessly as Zhang Zifeng rushed into the restricted area.

Looking at the basket in front of him, Zhang Zifeng only had one thought in his mind at this moment, and that was - dunk!
Take a step into the penalty area, step on the left foot to stop the body, and jump with both legs at the same time, the whole body soars into the air, relying on the huge forward inertia.

Zhang Zifeng grabbed the ball with both hands and flew towards the basket.

Flying in the air, Zhang Zifeng's body was spinning.

"360-degree spin dunk?"

The fans and players on both sides saw this scene and immediately thought of it.

Under the attention of the audience, Zhang Zifeng made a circle, stretched his body backwards, and pulled it into a graceful bow shape, his arm holding the basketball was green and vigorous.

With both hands, he slammed the ball into the basket hard.

"Bang!"

Under Zhang Zifeng's huge pull, the entire basketball hoop was shaking.

Zhang Zifeng let go of his hands, and when he landed, Zhang Zifeng hit his chest hard, and roared to the sky.

Roar!
Looking at Zhang Zifeng, who has always been more elegant, at this moment, he is roaring like a lion, full of wildness.

It deeply shocked everyone.

With the disappearance of the roar, the quiet Wells Fargo Center Arena erupted like a thunderbolt in an instant.

Zhang Zifeng's dunk gave the 76ers a 44-point lead with only 9 seconds left in the game.

Although James made a three-pointer in the next game, helping the team narrow the point difference to only 6 points.

But relying on Zhang Zifeng's big heart, he made 6 of 6 free throws, and finally James' last-minute dunk at the basket was of no avail. The 76ers defeated the mighty Cavaliers 104-98.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, there were hysterical cheers in the Wells Fargo Center Arena!

The players of the Cavaliers couldn't believe that they, who were aiming to win the championship, would lose to the 76ers, which is recognized as the weakest team in the playoffs.

JR. Smith bowed his head and walked into the player channel amidst the huge boos from the audience.

41 points, 13 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 blocks, these are the statistics Zhang Zifeng handed over in this game.
It was Zhang Zifeng who used his almost all-around performance to help the 76ers win the first playoffs of the season and restore the dignity of the 76ers.
