Chapter Forty-Seven: The Knights Fight Again

The win over the Raptors brought the 76ers' winning streak to nine, and a win over the Cavaliers would give them their second 10-game winning streak of the season. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Generally speaking, a winning streak of more than 10 games means that the team has the strength to compete for the championship, and when a team completes two or more consecutive wins of more than 10 games in a single season, then the strength of the team is unquestionable.

So, the 76ers are going to complete this winning streak anyway, and the Cavaliers are going to stop the 76ers from completing this 10-game winning streak anyway.

LeBron James made a bold statement before the game, and in the last game they defeated the Lakers, who could only be led by Nick Young in Los Angeles, and finally regained a little feeling, and the morale returned.

So, in the context of this last big win, LeBron James has more confidence in the next game.

LeBron James is not a man to be afraid of, and he knows that if he wants to win the coveted O'Brien Cup, he will have to beat Anxi.

I don't know when it started, LeBron James began to discover that the biggest mountain in front of him has changed from the original Big Three of the Green Army and the Spurs' GDP to the little brother Anxi next to the GDP.

Anxi's growth speed is too scary, at the beginning of last season, LeBron James just felt that Anxi had become very strong and was about to surpass him, and at the end of the season, Anxi could be on an equal footing with him, this season, the encounter at the beginning of the season made LeBron James feel deeply frustrated, and he knew that he was no longer as good as Anxi.

But it doesn't matter, the Cavaliers are the team of the Big Three, and after a series of previous trades, the Cavaliers also have a group of high-quality role players. In addition to Anxi, the 76ers only have Pau Gasol left, and Jack Crowder and others can only be regarded as role players and cannot be used for heavy duties.

Therefore, on paper alone, the Cavaliers can suppress the 76ers, and LeBron James's confidence also comes from here, he feels that even if he can't beat Anxi himself, it is enough for his team to beat Anxi.

Run-in run-in, this is the most said by LeBron James in the last few team trainings, indeed, for the Cavaliers at this stage, the most important thing is the run-in.

As long as the run-in is done properly, the Cavaliers still have a good chance to beat the 76ers.

Two days later, on January 16, in Cleveland, the Quickfinance Arena was already full.

This is the first home game since LeBron James recovered from injury, JR Smith Iman Shambaugh and Mozgov joined, so Cavaliers fans seem excited, especially since the opponent in this game is still the 76ers, and all Cavaliers fans know that if they want to win the O'Brien Cup this season, they must cross the 76ers mountain.

As a result, the outbreak of this group of war of the century has aroused the attention of more Cavaliers fans.

The scene was enthusiastic, and the appearance of LeBron James caused a tidal wave of cheers at the scene.

Seeing the Cavaliers' enthusiastic pursuit of LeBron James, James Anderson was also a little speechless: "Ha, have these fans forgotten how LBJ abandoned them in the first place?"

An Xi shook his head, he couldn't join this topic, although subjectively he didn't abandon the Spurs fans, nor did he hold any decisions to decide one decision two, but in fact he was also a player who had changed teams, and he was still not suitable to talk about this sensitive topic of changing teams.

Prior to this game, Brett Brown changed the team's starting lineup, with Ismael Smith replacing McCarvey in the starting line-up, and he was tasked with defending Kelly Irving.

As for McCarvey, even the 76ers know that McCarvey has the countdown to leave, and according to local media reports in Philadelphia, Sam Singki has contacted two teams and is in talks to complete a specific deal in a few days.

Basically, McCarvey should be traded for an interior rotation, plus some chips such as draft picks, and the 76ers' point guard position will not change much because of McCarvey's departure, Ismael Smith will enter the starting line with his defense, and the bench composed of Louis Williams and Shaun Livingston is strong enough.

In this game, Brett Brown was experimenting with such a lineup, and of course, there were also reasons to deal with Kelly Irving.

Compared with the 76ers, the starting changes on the Cavaliers' side are bigger, the three positions of point guard Kelly Irving, small forward LeBron James and big forward Kevin Love will not change, but the shooting guard has become Iman Shamchaenport, and the center has become Timofey Mozgov.

David Blatter chose to start Iman Shambaugh, and the purpose is obvious, Iman Shambaud is here to specifically target Anxi.

However, Anxi also knows something about Imman Shamboldt, they have been in position before, and the final result is that Imman Shambaud can't prevent Anxi at all, so Anxi still has a lot of confidence to beat Imman Shamboldt in this game.

In this fight, he wants more than just a win.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.

Timofey Mozgov won the jump ball, and the Cavaliers' main center for the Russian national team, which he traded for two first-round picks, showed his role in the opening stanza.

After stealing the ball for the opening shot, the Cavaliers immediately began to organize the half-court attack.

The basketball was in LeBron James' hands, and Jack Crowder stepped on top of it.

In this game, Anxi did not change the defense of LeBron James, Brett Brown gave Anxi a more important task - the whole court to supplement the defense, obviously, Brett Brown gradually realized the role of Anxi, he thinks, let Anxi single to mark a person, it is too wasteful, let Anxi do the work of supplementing and assisting defense, in order to maximize Anxi's role in the defensive end.

At the beginning, LeBron James was looking for a pick-and-roll cooperation on the outside, and Kevin Love mentioned the high position, a single block, and the 76ers' defense was a little difficult.

LeBron James's breakthrough is not so easy to defend, and Kevin Love's outside three-point threat cannot be ignored, LeBron James is the best passer inside and outside, if the 76ers choose to contain LeBron James, then LeBron James will immediately choose to pass, and Kevin Love on the outside will get a three-point shot.

Therefore, Jack Crowder had nothing to do, gritted his teeth to keep up with LeBron James, and did not choose to switch defenses.

But with this follow-up defense, LeBron James's opportunity came, and he was like a bulldozer, directly advancing the interior line.

At this time, Anxi rushed out from the other side and made up for the defense in front of LeBron James.

LeBron James turned around and made a layup against Anxi's defense.

But in the end, he was squeezed by Anxi's power and missed the layup......
