"Believe me, when it comes to this, my hands will get hot." Zhang Xiaotian suggested in a relaxed tone.

"No problem, man, I'll pass the ball."

The team didn't control the situation, and James was also very depressed, but he was a rational athlete and knew that he could trust Zhang Xiaotian at this time.

When he played again, Zhang Xiaotian sat directly and beat Xin Liqi.

Now Zhang Xiaotian is completely at the All-Star level, and it is too difficult for Xin Liqi, whose strength is declining.

The bulls are also very tenacious, and they obviously know Zhang Xiaotian's methods.

When he sat in the low post again, the Bulls opted for a flanking shot.

Zhang Xiaotian is not only good at the endpoint, he sent the ball directly to the middle, James jumped up with the ball, and the opponent could only choose to foul.

When he attacked again, he drew another gourd, and this time it was Owen who went down in the middle.

Irving is not as unstoppable as James from the start, but he is more skilled at catching the ball and making layups than James.

Noah was not in a hurry to make up for the defense, and there was another foul on his body.

The Bulls can only bet on three-point tactics right now, but the Cavaliers' defense isn't fake.

The Cavaliers' outside blockade may not be as strong as last season's Heat, but it is also a first-class level, after all, there are two defensive gates of Zhang Xiaotian and James.

After the Bulls missed a couple of shots, Brooks seized the opportunity to hit a three-pointer to cut the deficit to four points, giving them another glimmer of hope.

At this time, the game had entered the last tens of seconds, and at 31 seconds, Hinrich used the cover again to shoot, but Zhang Xiaotian had already predicted the opponent's choice, and Ty Gibson did not completely block him at all.

Hinrich's shot wasn't high, but it was fast.

However, Zhang Xiaotian was faster, he jumped high and slapped the ball out of the opponent's hand.

Irving quickly picked up the ball, and the Bulls' home fans couldn't help but curse.

The Cavaliers began to drag out time, and the Bulls had no choice but to foul, and Irving's free throws were very sharp, and fouling on him was completely a point away.

After the Bulls missed again, there was no need for the game to continue.

111:105, although the scene was a little unsightly, the knights still won the streak.

Zhang Xiaotian played well in the last quarter, but the limelight was still stolen by Tristan Thompson.

This guy came off the bench to score a double-double, the data is not surprising, but it's all frontcourt rebounds, and the opponent is still a team with an interior line like the Bulls.

Although the Cavaliers also conceded some backcourt rebounds, they were clearly not as eye-catching.

The media had to sigh again that the knights are really powerful, and it will definitely be great if they run in.

Because most of their players are young, they look like they're running for the dynasty.

However, the premise is that the run-in is good, and the knight's current style of play can be seen by laymen that the run-in is not good.

After playing the Bulls and Cavaliers, there were three days to adjust, but then they played back-to-back, or went to the West to play three games in a row.

After the official game, the training was more targeted.

James often discusses tactical issues with his coaches, and from time to time he asks for players on the field during training.

Judging from the results of the training, the Cavaliers players are still becoming more and more familiar with each other.

On November 4, the Cavaliers played the Trail Blazers away.

The Trail Blazers didn't change much in the summer, except for the signing of backup guards and interior players.

Their main squad is still very strong, and they are looking forward to a breakthrough this season, but there are no ruthless roles on the bench, and signing a player like Carman only gives the team more experience.

However, the Trail Blazers have single-defense stalwarts like Batum and Matthews, and Robin Lopez can also help defend on the inside, and James will definitely have some trouble.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides exploded each other, and in the second quarter, the Cavaliers were in trouble.

The first is that the bench lineup, which is obviously stronger than the opponent, did not play well, Vitesse has the quality, but the shooting selection is really bad, and he always shoots aimlessly.

The second is that Irving has a bad hand and is completely blown up by Lillard.

In this case, James was caught in the bag and had trouble on the offensive end.

The Trail Blazers played very well inside and outside, and took the opportunity to overtake the Cavaliers.

In the second half, some of the problems were solved, but some of the problems were magnified.

James, Owen, and Vitesse are vying to strike iron, and Love and Zhang Xiaotian are alone.

Zhang Xiaotian hit a few good shots in the final quarter and couldn't save the team, and the Cavaliers suffered their first defeat in the opening third game.

After this game, the outside world fell into the ground, saying that they had long known that the knights were not good.

In fact, if Zhang Xiaotian hadn't been ruthless enough in the first two games, the team would have been in a situation long ago.

The bench is only one aspect, it's still a matter of possession, David Blatter wants to get the ball moving, but several core players can't.

James felt a little bored with less possession, and Irving felt that the team was not free to play around him, and there was a Witesse to add to the chaos.

James went to talk to David Blatter on the night of the loss, and he talked to Irving and Vitesse about tactical options in training the next day.

Both young players were a little upset, but Irving was smarter and didn't talk back to James.

Vitesse quit, and he thinks it was too few touches to make him feel bad.

The young man does not give face to James very uncomfortable, you must know that the head coach is not the same attitude when discussing with him.

Zhang Xiaotian can see that Vitesse is actually not bad-hearted, but he still has a bit of a big boy temper, and he always feels that he is invincible in the world, and the team always suppresses him.

In the game, he wanted to prove himself too much, but this cargo dealer was not very good, and the way to prove himself was to make all kinds of strong shots, which led to the constant sound of iron.

Beforehand, everyone thought that the Cavaliers bench lineup was good, and when he messed around, the Cavaliers lost every game of the bench.

It's also unpleasant that James didn't achieve his goal, but he must be the absolute boss of the team, and the Cavaliers promised a lot to get him back, and offending no one would offend him.

In this case, Zhang Xiaotian and Lefu are both spectators, the two of them can play without the ball, and Lefu is even more on the inside, and it does not conflict with the outside.

The situation is not settled yet, and the second game of the back-to-back still has to be played.

Back-to-back games were played against the Jazz, and the Jazz didn't make much effort in the summer, but their own young players are growing, and the starting five, including the core Hayward, are all young players.

And this group of youngsters are good offensively and defensively, like Kanter, Pfeives, Burks, etc., and there are also young people on the bench, and this year's rookie Hood and sophomore Rudy Gopott are both good.

The Cavaliers desperately needed a big win to prove that they were a first-class team, but they didn't expect to be blocked by the youth army at the beginning of the game, and the score fell behind by double digits on the inside.
