"Pre-season doesn't say anything, when I'm the strongest, I'm sure all the fans know."

"It's still the championship for sure, it's not going to be a problem, the preseason team is only 30 percent."

The reporters who interviewed Zhang Xiaotian still liked it, and his answers always made them find some gimmicks.

However, Zhang Xiaotian also has confidence, he has helped the team win the championship in both seasons, and it is not a ring for soy sauce, no one can say anything.

Those who opposed him were slapped in the face, except for the sunspots who rubbed the heat, who would be stupid enough to rush up.

The cowhide is not blown, and when the season officially begins, it will be clear who is strong and who is weak.

On October 30, the first game of the new season for the Cavaliers faced the Knicks at home.

The Knicks can be said to have been unenterprising this summer, trading away Tyson Chandler and the old Samuel Damham Porter at the No. 5 spot.

The 20 million Amare Stoudemire was on and off and could only mix the bench.

Their starting lineup, which is Carmelo Anthony, is enough level.

In contrast, the Cavaliers formed a luxury lineup in the summer, and this time received a lot of attention.

Seeing the high-spirited James, Anthony must have tears in his heart.

Zhang Xiaotian appeared in the starting number two position, his speed and pace improved last season, and he has no problem playing the second position now, his opponent is Iman Shamppert, a decent defender who is stronger in defense than in attack.

Aside from Anthony, the Knicks don't have any attacking players, Bargnani hasn't returned after a long break, and Tim Smith Jr. is a bit of a threat, but it's also a matter of rotation.

Changing guards for Anthony is probably not necessary, the Cavaliers start with a double interior, and James definitely doesn't mind playing with his old brother.

As for the lineup when it is changed to one big and four small, Anthony is estimated to go to the fourth position.

However, the Cavaliers' big four have not been so well run-in, it stands to reason that the Big Three plus Zhang Xiaotian and Vitesse can be said to have strong attack power, but the five of them have the kung fu to play with the ball in one hand, although David Blatter is good at letting the players share the ball, but now he has a bit of a headache.

At the beginning of the game, Lefu grabbed the ball for the team and scored first.

This drew cheers from Cavaliers fans, and as an inside and outside lineman, Love may be the most suitable match for James in the league.

If we can still help defend, well, the league doesn't have that strong interior right now, unless it's Anthony Davis or Cousins who grows a little bit more.

The Cavaliers got off to a good start, but then Anthony turned on scoring mode.

The Knicks can't help it, and everyone else is scum on the offensive end.

James and Owen both have average hands, and Zhang Xiaotian has no chance.

Owen is young and vigorous, and he shoots more than Wade, and as the fourth shot point on the court, Zhang Xiaotian can't help it.

However, Love played very well inside, came out and hit a three-point shot, and quickly took the lead for the Cavaliers.

It's still cool to have rebounds, James is much easier, and Anthony is also playing iron continuously.

But when it came to the rotation, things changed, and the Knicks started very averagely, but there were some good tools among the bench players.

Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr. are both convulsive, and Stoudemire still has some skills.

The knight's side Vites is also a nerve knife, but this thing is a little unhappy these days, and the state is average.

Therefore, the situation of the Cavaliers during the rotation period took a sharp turn, from leading to 10 points to being tied, which is less than half a quarter.

James still hasn't found a feeling on the offensive end, mainly because the preseason is too easy, and the cooperation between teammates can be in the preseason when they are not very defensive, and they can't play in the official game.

As a result, James and Irving were all kinds of singles, and James's best breakthrough point shot was not played.

Each coach's tactics are different, and the Cavaliers certainly didn't play the head coach's request, and David Blatter had thought the situation a little simpler before.

The top players in the NBA are not the same as the top players in Europe, and he still needs to adapt.

Thankfully, a few ruthless characters on the team can destroy most of the team even if they are single.

When Zhang Xiaotian is a swing guard in the second position, his strength is obviously superior.

The point is, he's shooting so good that Shambert can cause him some problems, but he can't limit him completely.

If it weren't for the fact that he had fewer chances to hold the ball, he would have been able to put up good numbers.

At half-time, David Blatter kept explaining the tactics.

In a tie with the Knicks, who have an incomplete lineup, the Cavaliers will definitely not be satisfied.

David Blatter has a beautiful resume, but his European resume is of little use in the NBA, and Princeton, which he does best, is clearly not suitable for a star player like James.

However, he has great respect for his basketball philosophy and hopes that the Cavaliers can implement it seriously.

With a strong enough star player and a great team fit, with his experience, the title is within reach.

Of course, you don't need to take out the training set just yet.

James, as an experienced player, also made adjustments at half-time.

He did worry about too many other things during this time, and Anthony put in a lot of effort in the first half, which made him a little uncomfortable.

In the third quarter, James changed his style of play and gradually improved his efficiency.

It's the same with Anthony, who was still playing all kinds of singles in the first half, and now he's starting to organize.

The half-time break is very big for a lot of players.

About halfway through, Smith, Stoudemire and others began to play one big and four small, and they were also the Knicks' strongest offensive lineup.

At this time, the Cavaliers also began to play a big four and small lineup, with Love and Tristan Thompson taking turns playing the flexible five position.

However, the Cavaliers have not played a small lineup for as long as the Heat, and they are more flexible on the inside, and the double interior and the but on the inside are combined.

Actually, the concept is good, but it's a little more complicated.

The Knicks have a lot of singles, and when everyone hasn't played an official game in the summer, it's easier to find out.

After Smith came up, he hit several in a row to give the Knicks an advantage.

Now the Cavaliers have a bad face, they have received so much attention, and they are a luxury lineup, which is a bit unreasonable to abuse the bad lineup of the Knicks.

Especially Irving and James, who have more balls, subconsciously used the singles mode again.

David Blatter has a serious face, as a rookie coach in the league, he has been working with big names since he came, and the pressure is definitely not small.

At this point, he just wants the data he collects to work, like the player who did well in the final quarter.
