Vitesse's attitude James didn't like it, and it also affected the team's lineup.

The Cavaliers would rather let veteran Mike Miller play more than give Vitesse much of a chance in this game.

Vitesse was even more depressed, he was obviously so powerful, why did everyone want to hit him, the young man was about to be wrong with the feeling of the world.

But with one less to add to the chaos, James and Irving are feeling a lot better.

They're both All-Star caliber players who need to have the ball in their hands, and they play better without Vitesse, the only trouble being that they all need to play more minutes to bring in the bench.

But the Jazz also played well, Hayward was all-round offensively and defensively, and sophomore Gobot came up and sent back-to-back blocks.

A big man with good defense on the inside is a problem for the Cavaliers, because Irving and James are both players who like to break through, but fortunately, Irving can shoot from the outside, which is better than Wade.

If this happened to the Heat last season, they would definitely have to play the shooter lineup, but the Cavaliers are the main players who can handle it.

Zhang Xiaotian also performed a little, but the team's ball problem was not clear, and he was also affected a little.

Owen and James have done too much alone, and Owen doesn't pass much now when he plays the No. 1 position, so he is probably a little unhappy with James's appearance as a coach on the court.

In this case, James also reduced his passing, in fact, trailing by 11 points in the first half.

At halftime, David Blatter was also angry, is it going to be a losing streak, the player can be willful, he is under a lot of pressure as a coach.

There were also problems with rebounding in the first few games, and David Blatter didn't want to be used as a scapegoat and walk away as soon after he landed in the NBA.

In this case, an honest player like Zhang Xiaotian makes people feel different.

While his style of play isn't David Blatter's favorite sharing of the ball, it's much better than not listening to a command.

Seeing that he was about to lose in a row, James didn't want to be angry with his juniors.

The young players of the Cavaliers are used to losing, he is a figure at the level of the league's big brother, and this time he is under pressure to return to the Cavaliers, if he loses again, he will be laughed to death.

James, as a good-faced person, how could such a situation occur.

He said hello to Zhang Xiaotian, he must play well in the second half, if Zhang Xiaotian has a feeling, he will definitely pass the ball over.

Then he went to coax Irving, Irving is different from Waiters, he is a player that the Cavaliers focus on training, and he is the No. 1 position, and it is a bit difficult not to cooperate.

By the second half, James was starting to change, and the Cavaliers were getting a lot better.

The most important thing is the change in defense, the Jazz have a group of young players with talent, but there are no old players with them, and it is normal for the offensive end to have ups and downs when encountering blocking.

There is also the problem of rebounding solved, the Cavaliers are not without rebounds, everyone played alone in the first half, and the interior players played without enthusiasm.

After these two points were solved, the knights exerted their due strength and suppressed the Jazz.

By the second half of the third quarter, the 11-point deficit was back.

But at this time, it was rotation time again, the main squad found its form, and the substitute players were still the same, which was no surprise.

The Jazz, on the other hand, made some achievements on the inside, with Goport and Trevor Booker both scoring points.

The point is, rebounding has become a problem again, and they didn't expect that the Jazz bench inside, the young player Gopote can grab it so much, and a pair of long arms to protect the interior line makes the Cavaliers a little unable to show it.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers fell behind again, but not as badly as at halftime.

At the beginning of the last quarter, this time David Blatter did not hesitate and directly replaced Zhang Xiaotian.

Regarding the use of Zhang Xiaotian, James obviously also talked to the head coach.

His current opponent is this year's No. 5 pick Dante Essam, the young man looks good, but the draft is such a thing, and the high rank doesn't mean anything, and the rookie who has just entered the league is reluctant to be Zhang Xiaotian's opponent.

Zhang Xiaotian plays the No. 2 position, just like James plays the No. 3 position, and his body definitely has an advantage.

After he went up, he didn't hesitate to welcome the rookie and hit the other two in a row.

The Cavaliers fell behind the score, and because of his play, he quickly chased back.

couldn't prevent Zhang Xiaotian, and the Jazz could only replace Alec Burks in advance.

Burks Power is not Zhang Xiaotian's opponent, but the Jazz have no way, they simply don't have the right players to mark Zhang Xiaotian, unless Hayward is on it, it is still important to mark James.

In addition, they felt that Burks' previous performance was acceptable, at least there would be no problems with his footwork.

It's just that they don't know that Zhang Xiaotian at the end of the festival is different.

The league knows that Zhang Xiaotian is a big-hearted player, but he is always not clear enough when he doesn't match.

With the defense line losing continuously, they were about to pinch Zhang Xiaotian, at this time Irving successfully singled twice in a row, and the Jazz quickly asked for a timeout.

After the timeout, all of the Jazz's main players returned, except for Burks.

They really used Hayward to target Zhang Xiaotian, and James's side became the backup swingman Trevor Booker as the main defense.

After the defender was replaced by Hayward, Zhang Xiaotian couldn't play so casually.

However, the Cavaliers have also changed all the main forces, and Zhang Xiaotian does not have so much responsibility on the offensive end.

The Jazz let Hayward play the No. 2 position, and Zhang Xiaotian also took over the defensive task by the way.

Hayward can also become a core player because he is comprehensive, both offensive and defensive, and he should not be as good as Paul George in terms of offensive performance alone.

Zhang Xiaotian, Paul George has been targeted, and there is no problem against Hayward.

And the Jazz's No. 1 position, Trey Burke, is not tall enough, and Irving is very happy to play this kind of shot.

It's just that Irving is much worse than Wade on the defensive end, and the offense will also be scored by the opponent.

But halfway through the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers still overtook the score.

Just when many thought that the knights were gradually gaining the initiative, the situation changed again.

The Cavaliers' backcourt rebounds continued to fall, and Kanter scored consecutive points on the inside, helping the Jazz take the initiative again.

After requesting a timeout, David Blatter was a little unsure of what to say.

However, there was a change in the team after the timeout, that is, James took Irving's job and started to organize.

Irving still didn't have an assist in the second half, and James had to use tough tactics.

James still has two halves of the brush, and when he gets the ball, he scores.

On the Jazz side, the interior continues to exert its power, and this time it is Derrick Feves' turn.

In 1 minute and 53 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-point shot, and the two teams tied 94:94.

But then Hayward also hit a mid-range shot, and the intensity of the game was suffocating.

This is competitive sports, no matter the strength of the team, no matter how many stars there are, everyone has to fight to the end.
