Chapter 391: Superstar Fan
On June 10, the Finals Cavaliers' second home court.
Love didn't start, but was on the bench, and the dust settled on the previous smoke bomb.
But for the Warriors, there will be no adjustment to their tactics with or without Lefou, and Lefou's lack of excellent defensive ability and offensive style are destined to make the Warriors make changes.
So Zhang Xiaotian doesn't understand what the knight is hiding and doing, Lefu is a weapon on the offensive end, and Lefu will only change the knight's offense.
On the defensive end, Lefu is not useless, he can defend alone, but the Warriors don't have an interior line with the ball in the low post, so Lefu is just showing defensive ability.
The so-called lineup restraint is like this.
At the beginning of this game, it was still Irving who took the lead on the Cavaliers' side.
Although no one on the Warriors' side exploded, Curry and Klay Thompson were normal.
All-Star level players, counting on them are often unreliable, that's impossible.
As soon as they opened, Zhang Xiaotian also got some easy opportunities.
James's defense of Zhang Xiaotian cannot be the same as Zhang Xiaotian's against him, the status of the two sides in the team is different, Zhang Xiaotian can touch the ball less in front, James is impossible.
When both sides are in normal form, Zhang Xiaotian can limit James' shooting percentage to less than forty percent.
James' impact tends to interfere with defensive quality, which is a little worse than limiting Durant.
However, James' explosive score is not as fierce as Durant, with Zhang Xiaotian here, no one in the No. 3 position can play superstar basketball to defeat a team.
Smith is unreliable again, and the Cavaliers' offense is not as stable as the Warriors after all.
However, relying on Irving's play, the Cavaliers only trailed by 1 point in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Irving's strength was undiminished, and Love scored well during the rotation, and the Cavaliers actually overtook the game, which also attracted bursts of applause from the home audience.
"LeBron, are you going to wait until the fourth quarter to play me again, it's going to be difficult."
The person he once regarded as his younger brother actually spewed trash talk at him, and James was also a little unhappy.
"Zhang, just like when I used to train, I can beat you at any time, but now that I'm going to help the team win the series, you can put away your little tricks."
"yes, it's a pity that we were ahead in the series, and today we will win."
James almost cursed, but he came back to his senses in an instant.
He was also a little depressed when he was behind the total score, but he was still full of confidence, he believed that the Cavaliers were no worse than the Warriors, but at this point, he alone could not beat the Warriors.
In these two games, Irving has more opportunities to play with the ball, and it is also a better way for the Cavaliers to try to win.
Irving is not a pure shooter, he is not a good defender, and he is not the same type as Wade at all, but he is extremely talented on the offensive end, and there is also Love, the ball and the linkage between them, and James is also figuring out a way.
You can't blame them for seeking change until the finals, there are really not many opponents in the regular season, and there was no substantial obstacle to rushing out of the East before, and they suffered losses from the Warriors in the regular season, but they couldn't play each other continuously, and they were not sure what level they had to achieve.
James is now a little regretful and a little depressed.
Is he really too old to carry the team on his shoulders, in fact, he also wants to handle the game more neatly, as long as he thinks that even if Zhang Xiaotian's defense is good, he can't completely limit him.
But if he is to be responsible for the team, he has to mobilize the whole team.
In the first half, the Splash Brothers' form recovered, but the team's offensive defense was not enough to satisfy Kerr.
The team needs Curry to score as much as he did before, and the team needs Green to be tougher on the defensive end.
The most stable player is actually Zhang Xiaotian, as long as he maintains a good defense against James, and then hits some shots steadily.
Curry is a man of great pride, and as soon as the coach said that he hit a three-pointer against the defense at the beginning of the third quarter.
Needless to say, Klay Thompson is also an extremely solid player, and he also hit a three-pointer after Curry's release.
In the third quarter of this game, the Warriors finally played the rhythm they were most accustomed to.
The Cavaliers then Irving is still cutting points, but there is no longer the threat of the first quarter, and from the second quarter, Irving began to score purely and did not send more assists.
The Warriors' three-point score has been opened, and if the Cavaliers' three-point score is not opened, they can only admit defeat.
Both teams are the best in the league in playing small ball, and although the tactics are completely different, there is one thing in common, that is, the three-point will only be played on the offensive end.
The Cavaliers didn't open on the offensive end, just played a few star balls, and were overtaken by the Warriors in the second half of the third quarter.
At this time, the role players of the Cavaliers were even more afraid to shoot, and almost all of them were James and Irving with the ball.
The strength of the two is really powerful, but it is too tiring to fight like this, as long as there is a slight negligence, it is easy for the Warriors to switch offense and defense.
In addition, the Warriors can play more people, and the core players can play without the ball, which is an advantage that the Cavaliers can't do, they are just like the Thunder, and in the end, it is difficult to distribute the ball with only two people.
On the warrior's side, an empty seat came out, and it was a sharp arrow.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, although the Cavaliers did not fall behind much, the Big Three were all on the court.
If the Warriors get the match point this time, the rest of the game will be difficult to play, so the Cavaliers have to work hard in advance.
On the Warriors' side, Zhang Xiaotian is still partnered with Klay Thompson.
When Zhang Xiaotian attacked with all his might, Iguodala took over on the defensive end.
Iguodala's strength suffers even more, and he also has a trick, which is to attack quickly and ruthlessly.
James also concentrated all his energy in the face of Zhang Xiaotian at this time, dominated the last quarter, and everyone stayed together for two seasons, James will definitely not be lucky.
However, Zhang Xiaotian's strength is much stronger than he imagined, using active skills, the first three quarters are already powerful enough, not to mention the last quarter.
Besides, there was no real heads-up on the court, Zhang Xiaotian called a cover, and the three-point shot was hit.
If you don't make a substitution, James will have to be fast enough to squeeze through the cover.
In less than two minutes, the Warriors found that Zhang Xiaotian was much more difficult to deal with than they expected.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaotian was caught in the middle of the attack, he gave the ball to Barnes, who hit three points, James also had some complaints in his heart, if it weren't for the reluctance of the management to spend dollars, the person in front of him should still be assisting him.
Now Zhang Xiaotian is not only in the offensive finish, but also in organization and defense to the top level, the Cavaliers Big Three are all on the court, and the score is still open, how to play the game.
Playing hard, there was no way back on the court, and both James and Irving stepped up their breakthroughs.
It's just that the strength of the Warriors is still increasing. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
