Chapter 538: Sorrow

With the same lineup and a similar start, the second game of the finals made the fans very enjoyable.

James seems to have put aside the emotions of the first defeat, once again played a strong game, and actively mobilized his teammates on the offensive end.

Zhang Xiaotian also worked hard, he has done a lot of work to deal with James in the past two days.

First of all, consumption is definitely useful, the effect in the first half is not obvious, the second half will be useful, and if it is useless, it can even decide life and death after a few games.

There is also the intervention of the opponent's rhythm, each player has their own unique rhythm, and careful observation can get clues, interrupting the opponent's rhythm can reduce the shooting rate.

The other is the consumption of the offensive end, watching the video is to understand James's state, Zhang Xiaotian is very familiar with his former teammates.

James' shooting has been more consistent, and his physical fitness has not decreased significantly, but there are still traces of age that can be seen in terms of consistent defense and control of turnovers.

Even if the physical strength can barely support the whole field, the energy can't fully keep up.

In this game, James has no intention of resting at all.

But after the efficiency of the first quarter, James' shooting percentage began to drop.

The Spurs were fully prepared but found that the other party did not perform more, but they would not have any compassion, and Zhang Xiaotian, who had rested for a while, immediately launched a fierce attack after coming up.

James didn't look very good, but the Cavaliers didn't dare to let him rest.

There's definitely something wrong with this style of play, it's just that they probably don't have any other way.

The Cavaliers wouldn't play without James, and I really don't know if it's a coach's problem or a player's problem.

Zhang Xiaotian was not like that when he was there, they were in a lot of trouble this season, and being able to get to this point is already a credit to James's super play.

But in the first game, James had reached his limit, and he couldn't have done better.

The Spurs are still stable, and the Cavaliers have lost their sense of proportion at this point.

James was very unwilling, but his shooting always felt a little bit worse.

At this time, Lefou's shooting rate also had problems, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and if the Spurs couldn't seize the opportunity, they wouldn't be worthy of becoming a first-class strong team.

Besides, the Cavaliers' defense really has weaknesses, and their interior defense is too poor.

By the end of the first half, the Spurs had a double-digit lead.

At halftime, Spurs affirmed their defensive strategy.

The Cavaliers' bench didn't play much, and they didn't play three points from the outside, which was the most chaotic time for them on the offensive end, so the Spurs had to be more optimistic about James, and they could do anything, but they couldn't let him drive the Cavaliers' offense.

And in the knight's locker room, the atmosphere is already a little wrong at this time.

James was silent, and head coach Tyronn Lue only made arrangements in a blunt tone.

But the players actually know that if they don't show their strong side, the game will be over again.

When it was time to play, James said to his teammates: "We can be behind, but we can't be broken, it's not easy for us to get to this point, we can't give them the win." ”

The leader spoke, and the atmosphere of the team was suddenly different.

But James doesn't feel strength in his heart, he is really tired by this time in the playoffs, and the Spurs' forward line is really too strong.

In the third quarter, the Spurs still resolutely pinched James.

Even if Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard are already great in single defense, they don't want to give James a chance.

In the Cavaliers' playoffs, James' role is too obvious, and they know exactly what to do.

However, this section of knights finally stepped up, and that was Lefou.

In fact, it's still the outside line, but if you have a hit rate, the threat will be greater.

The Spurs did not rashly change their defensive strategy, but fought with the opponent on the offensive end.

They don't mind letting the rest of the Cavaliers score more points and just keep the advantage going into the final quarter.

This is the strategy of defense, when James can't stop scoring, he has to prevent the rest of the Cavaliers from scoring, and when James' scoring ability declines, he has to completely limit him, anyway, he can't let James and the team be in the same rhythm.

There is a lot of knowledge in defense, and the Spurs' grade is easily impossible to imitate by other teams.

Relying on Love's outburst, the Cavaliers chased the score to just a single digit.

But the Spurs' strategy also worked, and James didn't have that many points.

On the offensive end, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard are also very stable, with Aldridge in it, the Cavaliers can't just defend one or two strong points.

James still didn't rest for a second, which is a complete sign of lack of confidence.

If the opponent is not confident, the Spurs will be confident.

Zhang Xiaotian rested for more than two minutes in the third quarter, and he definitely had an advantage over James in terms of physical strength.

Entering the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian came up and made James a foul.

Zhang Xiaotian could feel that James's movements had slowed down a little, and he would still be tired.

By this time, it was too late for the knight to change.

A minute in the final quarter can change the situation, how can James go down.

Missed two shots to his teammates, and James hit a three-pointer with all his might.

Some fans thought that the two top strikers would soar again, but James' fatigue after this ball could be seen even by ordinary fans.

Zhang then hit two three-pointers to help the Spurs extend their lead back to 10 points.

Immediately after the rested Leonard came on the court, he and Zhang Xiaotian stared at James, who had already lost his physical strength, and the situation on the court was very obvious.

The Cavaliers hurriedly let Love play, but Love no longer had the touch of the third quarter.

It is also because of the Spurs' defense, after James's physical strength declined, the Spurs finally had the energy to divide some of their defensive attention on others, and Love was definitely the focus of the target.

When James' form was declining, Zhang Xiaotian was getting braver and braver.

The Cavaliers had no one to defend him except James, and James had problems with his physical strength, Zhang Xiaotian scored continuously, and in half a quarter, he almost broke down the Cavaliers' defense.

And when James barely played a few singles with poor results, the Cavaliers' morale fell to the bottom.

I don't want to lose, James is full of bitterness, but at this time he really can't do it.

If he had been that strong at all times, the games ahead would not have been so tough.

The huge attrition had already taken place after he had exploded to the top in his previous game, and this season he thought he could hold on and add time to be aggressive.

But he was wrong, he was no longer young, and even if he looked more powerful than when he was younger, it couldn't change that.

In addition, if the opponent is Spurs, you really can't play like this. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
