Chapter 258: Team vs. Individual

The Celtics have really changed this season and feel like a disciplined college team.

The Cavaliers didn't dare to play the main force, Zhang Xiaotian and Lefu took turns to rest for a while, and James and Irving have been holding on the court, so they are still behind.

The Cavaliers' turnover ball is a strong point to get the opportunity to do the axis to run the ball, in fact, it is similar to last season's Heat, the Celtics are really moving the ball.

Those teams that are not strong, or not strong enough, tend to play the offensive end.

In comparison, the Cavaliers are much easier, but compared to the current Celtics, the Cavaliers' style of play also seems to be very hard.

Two or three points with the ball to create chances, how can five people create opportunities easily, the simple truth can be understood by everyone, but the Celtics really did it, and the Cavaliers were a little caught off guard.

One or two players will definitely not be able to defend the overall offense, but the overall defense is not running in and it is easy to have problems, and the Cavaliers can only adopt a stupid approach.

That is to strengthen the defense of players who feel good, and the team offense also has a hot hand or not, and guiding defense, such as forcing Rondo's buddy to shoot.

There is also the fact that when the opponent makes a mistake, the team's fluid offense is usually unsolvable, but they can also collapse on their own when it comes to critical moments, because the critical moment is the star's own place.

No matter how skillful the tactics are, not all players can withstand the pressure of the last moments.

Of course, the Cavaliers' better solution is on the offensive end, they are stronger, even if they can't play an extraordinarily smooth offense, but they can make the opponent a headache steadily.

After a break at the end of the third quarter, David Blatter hurried to make a defensive suggestion.

In fact, he also has a lot of experience in defensive team attacks.

Don't hesitate to switch defenses and don't give the opponent an easy shot.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Zhang Xiaotian habitually cut points again, and Bradley couldn't prevent him at all.

Irving also cut points, James also cut points, and the Celtics don't seem to have as many ideas on the defensive end as they do on the offensive end.

They also considered replacing Evan Turner with Zhang Xiaotian, although Evan Turner's tactics were very average.

After trying, they found that Evan Turner couldn't defend either, and they had to maintain their lead if they were to take the Cavaliers.

The team team exposed its weaknesses at this time, they did not have absolute strengths, and it was difficult for any player to stand up and take responsibility if they missed a few attacks.

The opportunity can still come out, but a few times under pressure has a great impact.

As soon as you hesitate to shoot, it is a cycle of striking iron, and the smooth attack will naturally be affected.

Seeing that the scores of the two teams are getting closer and closer, Celtic wants to force up the speed.

David Blatter was also a little more bold at this time, changing the Cavaliers lineup to one big and four small, speeding up, and he felt a little bit of a duel with people in the European arena.

James' move to the No. 4 spot should be effective in limiting the Celtics, but the replacement is not the one named at the beginning of the season, but rookie Joe Harris.

As a second-round pick, Joe Harris is nowhere near as physical as Vitesse, but he understands David Blatter's tactics very well, because the Cavaliers' head coach's tactics are inherently similar to those of college games.

The Cavaliers already have a few strong points, and putting players who are not very strong but helpful for tactics is more reassuring than the uncertain West.

So, poor Vitesse basically sat on the bench in the second half.

The decision proved to be the right one, and the score was even closer.

After James played four, the advantage of the Celtics pulling out the inside line became a disadvantage, and Brad Stevens could only replace Evan Turner again, and the lineup on the court suddenly became smaller.

The small lineup Celtics are actually very good at it, but the Cavaliers seem to be even better.

Celtics' young coach Stevens is also very depressed, obviously their tactical execution is stronger, but the situation on the field is getting worse and worse.

"You have to be decisive, you can throw the ball in."

Coach Stevens loudly encouraged his disciples, but unfortunately no amount of chicken soup could compare to the Cavaliers having a few All-Star level players.

A simple change of direction for an All-Star-caliber player can outweigh a few complex tactics.

Coach Stevens suddenly had the idea of resigning himself to his fate, he signed a long contract with the team, it seems that he shouldn't be so impatient, the Cavaliers are a strong team, it's normal for them to lose, and they have to take their time.

Take your time and fart, it's unpleasant to lose, especially if you have just seen the hope of winning.

At 3:06, Zhang Xiaotian made a mistake in defending Evan Turner, and the Cavaliers quickly counterattacked to overtake the score.

The Celtics called a timeout again, and Coach Stevens drew tactics on the strategy board, and they still have hope of winning, and he must cheer up the team's youngsters and take their chances.

The Celtics scored after the timeout went back, though not in the way they had hoped.

The Cavaliers were still putting Rondo, and this time Rondo was on the shot.

It's good to hit, and Celtic can't ask for it now, as long as someone stands up.

But then James forced it in and scored, and it looked so unstoppable.

And the Cavaliers still put Rondo, but this time Rondo didn't hit, there is no way that his shooting is much worse than James, you must know that James has someone to put it.

Coach Stevens, who just thought that he could hit the ball without following the tactics, is a little unpleasant to look at Rondo now, in his tactical system, Rondo should not hold the ball for so long.

A guard who doesn't shoot the ball still has the ball, isn't that a sabotage tactic.

The offense failed to look at the defense, and the Cavaliers broke through with the ball again, this time it was Zhang Xiaotian, Evan Turner was squeezed through and could only choose to foul, and Zhang Xiaotian hit both free throws.

When the Celtics attacked again, Rondo didn't shoot, and as a result, time ran out and the offense almost failed.

Cavaliers James broke through and hit again.

Coach Stevens couldn't do anything about it, he adjusted the lineup again, and changed two more inside players to try to protect the box.

It was the last minute, they were three points down, it was the last fight.

The last fight is to focus on defense, and the momentum is weaker.

Coach Stevens applauded vigorously on the sidelines, but he knew in his heart that this time could only look at the performance of the players, and he had done everything he could.

They also didn't continue to pass the ball looking for an opportunity, with Jeff Green single-handed.

With 36 seconds left, Jeff Green struggled to get a foul, and the Celtics saw hope again.

But 17 seconds later, Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-point shot, like a basin of cold water that directly extinguished the flames in the hearts of the Celtic soldiers.

Then the Celtics didn't score three points, and the score was already 6 points apart after the foul tactic, and the big picture was decided.

At 122:116, the Cavaliers won the opponent after a hard battle, ushering in a four-game winning streak.
