NBA: At the beginning of the full-level power, Curry was stunned by me

Still James has the upper hand.

Everyone is on the side of the Cavaliers. They believe that James will lead the team to easily defeat the Warriors and defend their home court!

Barkley still had a little hope for the Warriors in the first half, thinking that under the leadership of Zhou Yang, the Warriors would break out and catch up with the score.

But at halftime, they were still behind.

"Hey, the Warriors haven't improved much, they're not at the same level as the Cavaliers."

Smith also felt that the Warriors were out of play, because James suppressed Zhou Yang in all aspects.

Except for a few eye-catching famous scenes, Zhou Yang didn't show much at other times.

However, Smith is still very objective: "The overall strength of the Cavaliers is indeed stronger than that of the Warriors. Zhou Yang was double-teamed today, and his teammates did not provide enough support. James was occasionally double-teamed, and his teammates could punish the opponent. Zhou Yang had no choice."

Barkley didn't see it that way: "There are so many reasons, it's no good! No matter how bad your teammates are, they are all NBA players. Zhou Yang has to work hard!"

"Zhou Yang is working very hard. The reporters have photographed him. His training time is the longest."

"That's because the talent is not enough, the Warriors are really dangerous."

……

Not only Barkley, but Van Gundy, the commentator on the sidelines, also lashed out at Zhou Yang.

"Zhou Yang was crushed by James too badly. He was really astonished as if he didn't know. He was also the No. [-] pick, but his dominance on the court is not the same."

Reggie Miller shook his head and said, "No, if Zhou Yang and James swap teammates, it won't necessarily be bad."

"Swapping teammates? That's still James's strength, because the Cavaliers' chemistry is better, and it's James' ability to lead the team!"

Reggie Miller was completely speechless, and simply stopped talking.

……

In the Warriors locker room, Zhou Yang didn't flinch at his teammates.

He seemed to be not in the game, joking and joking with his teammates.

Jackson felt something was wrong, walked up to Zhou Yang, and whispered, "Zhou Yang, you can scold if you want, we all played badly today."

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Yang gave Jackson a light hammer, "Who can guarantee that the 82 regular season games will be so good without ups and downs? Just do your best!"

Maggette also said: "The Cavaliers' defense is indeed very strong, and we are not used to it. In the second half, everyone still has to fight hard. Take Zhou Yang as an example!"

Zhou Yang was able to establish a core position in the Warriors so quickly, not just because he was the most capable, nor because the old Nelson was behind him.

The most important thing is Zhou Yang's hard work leading by example!

In almost every game, there are scenes of Zhou Yang sacrificing himself to throw the ball out of bounds, and there are also scenes of grabbing the floor ball with opposing players.

In training, Zhou Yang is also the hardest one, and at the same time often helps his teammates improve their skills in various aspects.

Seeing that his teammates were all in high spirits, Zhou Yang's competitive spirit was aroused, which was what Zhou Yang wanted to see most.

"In the second half, don't have any pressure, just play out the usual training, winning or losing is not important!"

……

The second half of the game began.

The status of the Warriors' players has improved a lot, and Zhou Yang's mental attack in the locker room has played a role.

The teammates are no longer so nervous, Zhou Yang thinks there is something going on!

Moreover, Zhou Yang no longer played shooting guard in the second half, but played the third position, small forward, which happened to be against James.

Because Zhou Yang's strength and speed are not inferior to James, this makes James very uncomfortable.

In particular, Zhou Yang's confrontation repeatedly destroyed James' breakthroughs, and the Cavaliers' offense stagnated.

The gap is shrinking.

Mike Brown was a little flustered on the sidelines.

He doesn't really worry about defense, what worries him most is offense.

Because of James' one-star four-shot system, the key lies in the player's touch.

When James distributes the ball, if his teammates fail to make a shot, the Cavaliers' offense will have problems.

The Cavaliers played so smoothly in the first half because James' breakthrough was unstoppable.

But in the second half, James was restricted by Zhou Yang.

The Cavaliers' home fans were very irritable. When they saw that James' passes were wasted by his teammates, they all scolded the Cavaliers players, blaming them for the CBA and wasting James' passes.

"Xiao Mo is a piece of trash, he can't even fit in that big vacancy!"

"What's the matter with Hickson, won't he be extraordinary? James can't handle the ball for him? Hurry up and replace him!"

"Parker made another mistake. With him around, James couldn't win the championship. Hurry up and cut him!"

"O'Neal is really old, and he can't grab rebounds. Signing O'Neal this year is really a failure. The Cavaliers' management is really weak..."

……

Zhou Yang could occasionally hear the scolding of Cavaliers fans, and laughed secretly in his heart.

It seems that if the Cavaliers don't play well, these fans will scold James' teammates instead of Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang saw his teammates improve and played more actively.

Facing James' post defense, Zhou Yang directly pulled up and took off, making a difficult shot!

Although James tried his best to block and bumped Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang still kept his shooting shape stable!

Swish!

Two points hit!

This is already Zhou Yang's second consecutive hit in front of James' defense.

The morale of the Warriors players was high, and the point difference between the two teams returned to 1 point!

68: 67!

The Warriors are only 1 point behind!

Mike Brown couldn't take it anymore and called a timeout.

James walked off the court panting. He played very hard just now, but Zhou Yang's strength is too strong, so he didn't suffer at all.

If the fight continues like this, the knight will be in danger.

James spat so much trash talk on Zhou Yang today, he didn't want to be slapped in the face.

Mike Brown is good at defense, but he still told the players to strengthen the screen and give James more space to break through.

After the timeout ended, the Cavaliers players started more screens.

When Zhou Yang was defending James, both Parker and Hickson rushed over and firmly blocked Zhou Yang.

Unexpectedly, just when James thought he could break through easily, Zhou Yang bypassed the cover and appeared in front of James again!

Surrounding the cover is what Zhou Yang has focused on strengthening in recent training.

Because in basketball games, screens and pick-and-rolls are the most basic tactics.

If you want to improve your defensive ability, you must strengthen your ability to circle screens. Zhou Yang has speed, strength, and explosive power, and his ability to circle screens has improved rapidly.

Today, Zhou Yang finally got the fruits of his hard training.

Parker and Hixon's cover was unexpectedly swayed away by Zhou Yang's fake move.

When they were about to attack, Zhou Yang used his invincible strength to easily knock them apart.

The strength of Zion Williams is simply alien!

James was shocked and didn't dare to break through again, and the attack time was only 2 seconds left.

Helpless, he had no choice but to beat the buzzer and pass the ball to Xiao Mo in the corner.

The passing of the ball in the last 2 seconds made Xiao Mo suffer so much that he could only make a hasty shot.
