Chapter 280: Ending the Losing Streak

It's normal for the Cavaliers' bench lineup to not beat the Lakers, because the Lakers put several players with starting ability on the bench, but the main lineup didn't suppress the opponent and there was a problem.

Compared with the Lakers, the Cavaliers didn't cooperate at all in this game.

The players are addicted to singles, and the coach has laid out various tactics before going on the field.

Now it seems that after six consecutive defeats, not only the fans do not believe in David Blatter, but the players also have a lot of resentment in their hearts, the tactics did not work in one part, and the manager did not allocate the ball well in another part.

The NBA is not a college or a national team, and star players don't give up the ball because of tactics, especially when there is a problem with the team's record.

David Blatter was in a bad mood during this period and apparently neglected to communicate with the players.

In the second quarter, James also began to go it alone, but the Lakers were getting better and better.

Zhang Xiaotian's heart is also a little nervous, he has also come back to the team is already the strongest combat power, if he loses to the fish belly team in this way, it will be a heavy blow to everyone's confidence.

At this time, it is difficult to activate everyone, and James's choice of singles is relatively realistic.

However, it is necessary for him to remind James that he still has a reliable helper.

At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers were 4 points behind, and the current Lakers were 4 points behind, and they must have played badly.

David Blatter was angry and looked a little more serious when he set up tactics in the dressing room.

But half of the players below were unimpressed, and the two sides were not on the same channel at all.

Zhang Xiaotian deliberately went to James's side, "It seems that the team is in some trouble, LeBron, let's win this game first, and other things will have time to be resolved, believe me, I will shoot those balls you passed." ”

For Zhang Xiaotian, James now trusts Irving and Love more, and among the heroes who won the championship last season, only Zhang Xiaotian followed him to the Cavaliers.

At the critical moment of this season, Zhang Xiaotian did not disappoint.

In the second half, the Cavaliers started with a defensive attitude.

The Lakers, the main lineup, is really not particularly difficult to defend, and after James showed an attitude and Zhang Xiaotian responded positively, the team's momentum rose a lot.

Zhang Xiaotian's restrictions on Kobe Bryant also gave other players confidence, even if Kobe Bryant did not have the state of his peak after his comeback, but the name of the tree's filmmaker, that is Kobe, who has not played All-Star voting for a year, is still very popular.

Zhang Xiaotian pestered Kobe Bryant and didn't let him play comfortably on the offensive end, and the Cavaliers quickly overtook the score.

After all, the Lakers have no one to limit James.

In the past, Kobe Bryant could change defenses, but now it takes a lot of effort to deal with Zhang Xiaotian.

The issue of age is a threshold that any star has to face.

In the final moments of the third quarter, James hit a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers went from a four-point deficit to a four-point lead.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Lakers were all bench lineups, and Zhang Xiaotian was in front of the big shooter Rennes Kelly.

It can only be said that the Lakers have a big heart, and Zhang Xiaotian can't be more clever against a big shooter with insufficient athletic ability.

He scored seven points in a row and assisted his teammates to hit three-pointers, helping the team establish a 10-point lead at once.

The Lakers were not in a hurry, but the Cavaliers changed all the main forces back at once.

With six consecutive defeats and nine of their last ten, they desperately need a win and don't dare to slack off.

After James came up, it was a mid-range plus a free throw, and the Cavaliers firmly maintained the advantage.

waited for more than half of the fourth quarter to play, Kobe Bryant played, and Kobe Bryant was basically playing the work of organizing guards, but at this time he couldn't stand it.

The Lakers may want to mess up, but Kobe Bryant doesn't want to, with his status and pride, he can't save face at all.

Kobe Bryant began to take over the team's offense, and Kobe, who played all kinds of singles, was much sharper than Kobe, who had diligently organized the team before, as if he was five or six years younger all of a sudden.

Zhang Xiaotian was engrossed in defense, and after opening his skills, he not only did a good job in footwork and judgment, but also became more intense in physical confrontation.

It just so happens that Kobe Bryant is not as flexible now, and he goes all out, which is also a sign of respect for the elderly All-Star players.

Kobe Bryant also played very hard, and the more he faced a strong defense, the more he wanted to shoot.

Why didn't he have such a good helper in his body, feeling Zhang Xiaotian's strength, Kobe Bryant was suddenly a little jealous of James.

"Zhang Xiaotian hit again, and the cooperation between him and James reminded us of the Jenway connection, and the Cavaliers are complete with Zhang Xiaotian"

In the slightly excited words of the commentator, Zhang Xiaotian hit the goal that sealed the victory.

At 109:100, Kobe Bryant was almost back to his peak, but it was still difficult to save the team, and the Cavaliers finally ended their losing streak.

On the second day, we have to play away back-to-back, but fortunately, the location is still in Los Angeles, but the weight of the opponent is much heavier.

Zhang Xiaotian said in an interview: "Because of the injury, the team has experienced some twists and turns, and there are new players joining, which is not a bad thing, and we have to go through a lot of things to compete for the championship, and we are stronger." ”

Within the team, Smith couldn't accept it.

He still doesn't have a good impression of Zhang Xiaotian, but James has warned him not to make trouble, and promises that as long as everyone fights hard, he will not let his brother suffer.

If these words were said to young people, they might be counterproductive, and Smith really ate this kind of prickly head, and he was stunned to follow James as a little brother.

The Cavaliers defeated the Lakers, Zhang Xiaotian proved his strength, but the team did not prove his strength, because the Lakers were the belly of the fish after Kobe's strength declined.

So, back-to-back games against the Clippers, they have to win.

This matter is not only clear to Zhang Xiaotian, but every player of the Cavaliers is clear, and James also took the lead in stating that he wants to play the game as a playoffs, they are players who want to compete for the championship, and they can't get used to failure.

The Clippers' lineup was relatively neat last season, and they tinkered with it in the summer, and Rivers got his son over through a trade a few days ago, which can be regarded as supplementing the bench strength.

Now they have a good record, but they can't be considered in the first pot, it's about the same as last season.

Let's just say that Paul and Griffin are both All-Star level, but they haven't reached the championship level yet.

But for the current Cavaliers, the Clippers are definitely a tough opponent, especially in back-to-back situations.

The Clippers are very strong inside, but the Cavaliers also have their own advantages, although Barnes is desperate to defend at the third position, he is not strong enough to carry James, and J.J. Redick at the second position is impossible to limit Zhang Xiaotian. ‘

In this game, it really depends on who can play to their advantages.

It's just that if you stick to the end, it will definitely be the knight who is stronger.

Without him, it's just that the stars are stronger.
