Playing against the head is a trick for many teams in the league, and Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue is the best at using this tactic.

In fact, not all the main forces can withstand it, James and Owen just don't play.

Relying on this, the weakness of the previous rotation period has really been resolved.

It's just that the physical strength of the players will definitely be affected, and the knights have no choice but to fight.

The Spurs also targeted Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard's playing time, but not as ruthless as the Cavaliers.

At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Cavaliers had done their best, and the Spurs still had their part.

The situation hasn't changed much, and the Cavaliers haven't used new tactics, just fighting for stars.

What I didn't expect, though, was that there was a change in the third quarter.

The Spurs ramped up their defensive intensity as usual, and James wasn't as horizontal as he was in the first quarter.

James is physically strong, especially for his age, but no matter who it is, it is impossible to be efficient all the time after being taken care of by Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard.

But Irving suddenly exploded, and what the Spurs feared most came true.

Owen is also a player who can do things, and he can't stop it if he feels good.

The Spurs made changes to their lineup in four minutes when Danny Green came up and switched defenses.

But this time Danny Green's defense is not good, and Irving's singles ability is really strong.

Vicky asked for a timeout, mainly to interrupt the opponent's touch.

In fact, the Spurs have done a good job, and Irving's scoring is completely the star's personal ability.

Then, there is only the offense, and when James is strong, the Spurs are also attacking, and they still have experience in this regard, no matter what, the Cavaliers' defense has hard injuries.

The two sides were entangled until the last few minutes of the third quarter, and Zhang Xiaotian also went down to rest for a while.

The Cavaliers broke out at this time, and Irving led the team to consecutive outside shots to help the team take the lead.

This greatly boosted the morale of the Cavaliers, who lost the first two games in the third quarter and finally raised their eyebrows today.

The Cavaliers fans also cheered loudly, it is not terrible to lose two away games, as long as they win two home games, they and the Spurs will be on the same running line again, and they believe that the Cavaliers can work miracles.

Although they started the first two fourth-quarter games with the Cavaliers, it was not uncommon for them to fall behind in the first three quarters of the playoffs, especially against the Warriors, who often had to rely on individual performances at the end.

So the Spurs didn't panic, and in the fourth quarter, they let Zhang Xiaotian lead the team first, and Leonard went to rest for a while.

Isn't it just a few points apart, they can take it back from the hands of the warriors, and they can also take it back from the mouths of the knights.

The situation went for the better, but the knights did not dare to be careless.

Owen and James continued to stay on the court, James stared at Zhang Xiaotian in the last quarter, and Zhang Xiaotian must not be allowed to play a super performance to turn the tables.

It's just that no matter how powerful he is, his physical strength has been consumed a lot now, and the man in front of him is a monster who has improved his external attributes twice.

Zhang Xiaotian made a shooting feint after receiving the ball, James made a defensive posture and was not deceived, but then Zhang Xiaotian really threw the ball.

When the three-point shot was made, James's heart immediately sank.

He really didn't keep up with the reaction this time, but it was too difficult to prevent in the face of defenders who could shoot without rhythm.

When James came back, he threw a head-on strong throw, and squeezed it into contact with Zhang Xiaotian's body, and James felt like he had hit a wall, which was originally how many people felt about him.

There is no doubt that Zhang Xiaotian is stronger than last year.

If this is still understandable, it is difficult for James to think that Zhang Xiaotian is stronger than a few days ago.

didn't hit, but was counterattacked by Zhang Xiaotian.

James kept up with Zhang Xiaotian's counterattack speed, but was directly knocked away, so angry that he slammed at the basket.

Next, James gave the main task of offense to Irving, and he had to defend Zhang Xiaotian wholeheartedly.

It's been a long time since I've felt this way, it's like meeting a ruthless character who has become famous when I first entered the league, excited, apprehensive, and I have to do it.

However, he turned his mind to defense, and Zhang Xiaotian was not alone.

Zhang Xiaotian split the ball to Danny Green, who hit from beyond the three-point line, and the Spurs took the lead.

The Cavaliers immediately called a timeout, and the Spurs took the opportunity to replace Leonard.

For the Cavaliers to win, they must be efficient on the offensive end, and James wants to be better and catch the defense as well.

It's just that this timeout didn't interrupt the Spurs' offense, and James's wishful thinking didn't work at all.

Quite simply, Owen's efficiency has come down again.

The current situation of the Cavaliers simply cannot allow James to focus all his energy on defense.

It's too hard to defend, they only have to attack, and they can win the game if they play at a super level of attack.

After the score fell behind, James also came to his senses, and he couldn't be too entangled in Zhang Xiaotian's affairs.

He can only do his best, and he has to bring the team's offensive efficiency up again.

With that in mind, James also hit a three-pointer from the outside.

But this was not the clarion call for their counterattack, and his next few attacks were destroyed by Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian knows James too well, if his speed and strength can keep up, it is really difficult for James to take advantage, plus his physical strength has begun to decline again.

In fact, the rest of the Cavaliers still have a chance, and James also divided the ball a few times, and the shooting percentages of Smith and Korver are really average.

The defensive strategy of the two teams is similar now, but the Spurs rotate a little more timely.

What's more, although Zhang Xiaotian's pass is not as clever as James's, the role players who get open positions obviously have a higher shooting percentage.

Fans who don't know the inside story will only say that the Spurs' role players are more stable and Zhang Xiaotian's assist ability is stronger, and they won't know that Zhang Xiaotian is hanging.

Seeing that the score was about to run to double digits again, James realized that the time had come to the last three minutes.

He went all out and finally got time for two free throws.

Lao Zhan held his breath and hit the ball, but Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard easily scored the ball with a block.

Irving hit a three-point iron, Korver hit a three-point iron, Love hit a three-point iron, and James himself hit an iron.

On the Spurs' side, Zhang Xiaotian seized the opportunity to hit a three-pointer, and a group of Cavaliers players were desperate again.

This time the difference is not that big, and there is still hope in theory.

It's just that it's getting harder and harder for the Cavaliers to score, but the Spurs are playing lightly.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, there were players in the Cavaliers lineup who felt relieved.

It doesn't matter if they win or lose, they really don't want to fight the Spurs, they are too aggrieved and too bullying. 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!
