Chapter 348: As an Opponent

The Jazz don't want to mess around, but their results are really not good.

Their defense is still good, but they are still very problematic on the offensive end.

Truth be told, Hayward is a well-rounded player, but not enough to sustain a team.

Compared with other core players, his ability to explode points is a little poor.

So although the Warriors didn't explode, they kept pressing the Jazz.

After easily winning three consecutive victories, the Christmas battle, the showdown between the warriors and the knights that countless people are concerned about is about to begin.

Both sides attach great importance to this game, because of Zhang Xiaotian's relationship, the gimmick is also full, and before the game starts, the players have a war of words.

After Zhang Xiaotian left, Smith became the starter, but Zhang Xiaotian didn't take this one seriously at all, and the Warriors should pay attention to James, Irving and Love, especially James.

The Warriors' strategy against James is to take turns attrition, first Zhang Xiaotian, then Iguodala, and Draymond Green is ready to assist in defense.

The key Mr. skills of Mr. Zhang Xiaotian in the Christmas battle will also be opened, and he also wants to try it, in the case of attribute improvement, to what extent can he defend James alone, maybe everyone will meet on the road to the championship, and it is better to have a bottom in his heart.

Although he has been a teammate for two years, Zhang Xiaotian can't be at full strength during training, and now in the court duel, Zhang Xiaotian wants to understand James as an opponent.

After the Cavaliers won the championship, they spent too much money to maintain the roster, and in addition to renewing players, they only cheaply acquired Morris Williams and Richard Jefferson as supplements to the No. 1 and No. 3 positions.

Without Zhang Xiaotian, the Cavaliers are still very strong, but not the invincible strong, but the Cavaliers have always wanted to deny this, they think that the Warriors' style of play cannot support the fierce playoffs, and a top All-Star like Curry is too alternative.

But the Warriors are now on a bad record, and the Cavaliers will have to beat them to prove themselves.

James felt the difference between Zhang Xiaotian at the beginning of the game, with extremely excellent defensive prediction, and a strong physical confrontation that only a few people in the league could give him.

How is it possible, how can Zhang Xiaotian grow so fast.

James couldn't believe it at all, even if Zhang Xiaotian's strength was not as good as him, it was not very different, and he had the impression that he could easily beat Zhang Xiaotian.

When did that happen, two years ago, he often played against Zhang Xiaotian for training, and then he didn't have much interest, but he also played occasionally last season, and it feels like two people.

Could it be that he is old, impossible, almost harsh diet control and training, even if he does not continue to get stronger, it is impossible for him to end the peak early.

Against the Cavaliers, the first attitude that the Warriors showed was defense.

Not only Zhang Xiaotian's side, but also did a good job of blocking several other strong points of the Cavaliers, especially Draymond Green against Lefou.

In the pre-game interview, the players of both teams pretended to be calm, but they really started playing, and they were all desperate.

Even Curry and Irving are striking each other instead of blowing each other up, so you can imagine the situation of the two teams.

And during the rotation period, Sean Livingston unexpectedly exploded, who made the Cavaliers short off the bench guard. It's always easier to play back in the first position than in other positions.

The best thing the Warriors did defensively did was to block James with Zhang Xiaotian and Iguodala and not give him a loose opportunity to break through the ball.

Even if the two of them combined for three fouls, it would be worth it.

James rushed up, even if Zhang Xiaotian increased his stats, he couldn't bear it, but fortunately, he did a good job most of the time, and James, who couldn't bring his teammates up, dropped a lot of threat on the offensive end.

You must know that it is not easy to do this, if Zhang Xiaotian didn't know James too well, they wouldn't be able to do it at all, and James's own long-range shooting problem is also the reason.

In the first half, James scored only 11 points, and the Cavaliers only dished out six assists.

And in this case, the Warriors are only 3 points ahead.

The two sides can't let go of it, but if it goes on like this, Zhang Xiaotian is confident that he will help the team win the game, after all, he is now focusing most of his energy on defense and not investing too much on the offensive end.

By the time he explodes, James will certainly not be able to adapt.

At half-time, both sides realised they had defended to the extreme.

'We need to score the ball in attack.' James said.

But neither side wants to reduce the defensive intensity, and even the Warriors have reduced their rotation.

The Cavaliers felt that this was an unfamiliar rhythm for the Warriors and that they could definitely win in the end, while the Warriors thought they were in the lead and just kept the score going.

Because both teams are fast-paced teams, they both think their strategies have succeeded.

The next thing is just to fight for the stars, who is afraid of whom, and both sides believe that their All-Star players are the best.

It shows that it seems that James is indeed the strongest, but in terms of the starting lineup or the strongest lineup of both sides, it is the Warriors who score more.

So even in a rhythm that everyone was not comfortable with, the Warriors still maintained the lead.

The next thing is to fight the bayonet in the last quarter, James's magic The Cavaliers must know, but what is going on, in fact, the teammates are not as impressed as the opponent, and the Cavaliers are facing Zhang Xiaotian for the first time this season.

James didn't go down to rest, and the team asked him to weigh Zhang Xiaotian's weight personally.

The two skills of the King of the Stubble and Mr. Key are superimposed, and the strength formed by James is unimaginable.

There are many big heart players in the league, but there is definitely no one like Zhang Xiaotian who has become stronger in an all-round way.

James held the ball and hit the inside line to start without squeezing Zhang Xiaotian, and he made a mistake in surprise and was cut off by Zhang Xiaotian head-on.

Directly counterattacked a dragon, the Warriors fans cheered loudly, and James's face was a little unbearable.

He then forced two shots to extend the Warriors' lead.

David Blatter could only ask for a timeout, and James was still a little unhappy, not knowing whether it was aimed at Zhang Xiaotian or the head coach.

Owen and Love were replaced, and James was going to sit down and calm down for a while.

It's just that the state of Owen and Lefu this time is really not much, and coming up has not changed the situation.

The bigger trouble is that Iman Shampert can't prevent Zhang Xiaotian at all.

Is Zhang Xiaotian that strong, David Blatter is also a little confused.

There is only a pinch shot, but Livingston on the Warriors' side is still bullying the Cavaliers' guards with small jump shots, and the situation is a little critical.

Or can only replace James, David Blatter has acted as a villain, but the problem has not been solved.

If James doesn't exert his power again, this game will be cold. Can't find the latest chapter of a book you want to read? cough cough cough, it's not a thing, I recommend a public account, there is a young lady here to help you find the latest chapters, and chat with you!
