The Cavaliers' interior line is Tristan Thompson and Love, both of which are not particularly slow traditional interior lines, in fact, they are also keen on small lineups, but they are missing Draymond Green, and Smith is not as good as Klay Thompson.

Irving and Curry are different types, and they must also be All-Star level, and the threat of Love depends on whether the Cavaliers can use it well.

The two sides can say that they have their own advantages, and it can also be said that the Warriors lineup is more reasonable.

The biggest threat to the Cavaliers is James, not only because of their individual ability, but also because their entire offensive system is built according to James' technical characteristics.

James' own system is strong, but it also limits tactical flexibility.

If you can get James to adapt to more flexible tactics, definitely not, because then James will not be the first person in the league, but just a good All-Star level.

James won't want to, and neither will the team.

At the beginning of the game, James just tried, but Zhang Xiaotian's change still surprised him.

The collision of the regular season is just that, at this time, the real single defense actually makes people feel a little uncomfortable, I still remember when the two were on the same team, Zhang Xiaotian was far from having this strength.

In just one year, there has been so much progress, and James also sighed a little.

However, the sigh quickly turned into depression, to be reasonable, the Cavaliers' restrictions on several strong points of the Warriors were okay, and James also personally defended Zhang Xiaotian, without the slightest underestimation.

But at this time, the Warriors' tactical advantage came into play, and the Warriors didn't have to score a few strong points.

Constant counter-runs and covers, as long as the opponent is not careful, the Warriors will get a chance.

The biggest problem with the Cavaliers' defense is that they don't have enough good defensive players on the inside, but the Warriors have a way to do it, after all, they have a few killer features, and now they are also trying.

The Cavaliers weren't too far behind, but they were just being held down by the Warriors.

By the time it came to the Finals, the Warriors finally felt the strength of the rotation lineup.

The Cavaliers' bench is really hard to describe, Smith playing the starter, is to kill James's rhythm.

On James's side, there is Zhang Xiaotian on top, it is difficult to exert power on the outside, and if you rush in, Draymond Green will help defend, in a sense, James will be better defensible than Durant if the outside line is not open.

At halftime, the Cavaliers' Big Three all scored double-doubles, but all other points were severely limited, and the Warriors took a nine-point lead in the second quarter.

The Cavaliers' offense this season is definitely not bad, but it is certainly not as good as the Warriors and Thunder.

If they want to wrestle with the Warriors, they have to play defensively.

However, in the current situation, their defense is not bad, but it also drags their offense down two notches, after all, they also like to play small balls and like to catch conversions.

What the Cavaliers have to solve is the offensive problem, and the Warriors continue to maintain, the Cavaliers' tactics do not have many strong insiders, and Love's low-post skills have also declined a little after the Cavaliers, which is exactly what the Warriors want.

The Warriors are strong on the outside defense, strong on offense, and it is their expectation to pull the game to the outside to fight.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the offense of both sides still did not enter a fast pace.

On the Warriors' side, Curry didn't open, and Zhang Xiaotian put most of his energy on defense, so the team didn't have any scenes of playing with the ball, this model also has advantages and disadvantages, just playing like this is not good, but it just so happens that the Cavaliers' first game is not very good.

James feels like he's waiting, not playing very aggressively.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't care about what happened to the old players before, he was also waiting, as long as the Warriors entered the final quarter with the lead, he was 80% sure to help the team win the first game.

The Cavaliers were not dead yet, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, James went down to rest.

Owen and Love were on the court, and the defensive Zhang Xiaotian became Iman Shampert.

Shampert's defense is not bad, but he uses the guard to defend Zhang Xiaotian, the No. 3 position, the Cavaliers are overconfident, and they don't know his performance in the final quarter.

Zhang Xiaotian did not relent, scoring 6 points in a row on the court, helping the team extend the lead to double digits.

The Cavaliers hurriedly replaced James, but at this time, it was not so easy for James to defend against Zhang Xiaotian, and the biggest problem for the Cavaliers now was scoring.

Because of falling behind, the Cavaliers also have a small offensive lineup, which is also what the Cavaliers are good at, and they rarely use the real No. 5 position in the playoffs.

Love pulled out the No. 5 position to shoot three-pointers, and the Cavaliers used this lineup to kill a lot of opponents, but now they are meeting the Warriors, the best team in the league with a small lineup.

The Cavaliers are definitely not weak, it's just that their strongest means are also the strongest means of the Warriors, just like the Thunder restrained the five small, the Warriors actually somewhat suppressed the strongest lineup of the Cavaliers.

So the Cavaliers' morale was a little sluggish after switching to the offensive lineup, and in the last three minutes, James hit a three-pointer to help the team narrow the score gap to single digits.

But as soon as the Cavaliers saw a little hope, Curry hit a three-pointer, and then James's offense was mishandled, and Klay Thompson hit another three-pointer in the Warriors' counterattack, and the Warriors stabilized in the first game.

There was no miracle, and at 104:89, the Warriors won the first game without blood.

Zhang Xiaotian has comprehensive data of 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, although his scoring has dropped in these games, the team has won the game, and anyone with a discerning eye understands that his contribution is no less than winning 20+.

Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue admitted after the game that the team had some problems on the offensive end, and that the Warriors are unlike any previous opponent and they have to do better.

Kerr, for his part, praised the team's performance, but felt the Warriors could do better.

"I missed some shots and didn't find my rhythm today, but I'm very proud that my teammates stepped up and that's why we're here, everybody has their own influence on the game," Curry said in an interview. ”

Zhang Xiaotian was more direct when facing reporters, "When I come here, I only focus on the championship, everything else is trivial, no matter what, we will win four victories." ”

Losing the game, James was very unhappy, and what made him depressed was that he remembered Zhang Xiaotian's performance last year.

During training, James kept calling his teammates, and if it doesn't work like this, is it so difficult to defend the title.

Compared with the serious atmosphere on the knight's side, the warrior's side was full of laughter.

The race gave them a boost of confidence and a feeling that the championship had already been decided.

But if you really want to win the O'Brien championship trophy, you have to win three games on the court, there is no shortcut, Zhang Xiaotian doesn't think the Cavaliers are so capable, he knows James.
