Chapter 279: Comeback

On January 11, the Cavaliers faced the summer soy sauce, and the king, who also planned to play soy sauce this season, was powerless to fight back.

Mozgov was as expected in the starting position, with rebounds and blocks, but the movement was a little worse and could be used.

Smith was once again disappointing, except for the iron that was a mistake.

There are already quite a few fans who are angry, and Smith is not as good as Vitesse.

James sat on the sidelines in a suit with a serious expression, and Zhang Xiaotian felt that he wanted to go up and hit someone.

Watching the team lose was uncomfortable, Zhang Xiaotian almost wanted to make an impulsive comeback, but after calming down, he still felt that he would not let the injury repeat after two more rests.

In fact, his injury recovery is as good as the game imagined, and it is not that James is unable to play, they are all waiting for the right time, the right body and the right number of games.

James also chatted with Zhang Xiaotian a few days ago, saying that they could wait until the home court to come back.

Now James can't wait, five consecutive defeats, is this still a team competing for the championship.

At this time, the final results of the All-Star voting came out, and the Western starters were Curry, Kobe, Anthony Davis, Griffin and Mark Gasol, and the Eastern starting Cavaliers were selected, and the five were Wade, Wall, James, Zhang Xiaotian and Pau Gasol.

Reasonable, unexpected.

"He's a good player, but he doesn't deserve an All-Star start." A so-called celebrity stood up and named Zhang Xiaotian.

"James is also old, and he has long said that his style of play will not be able to hold up once he reaches the age of 30, the Cavaliers' losing streak is just the beginning, they are not a team that can compete for a championship at all, and two All-Star starters to a losing team are not reasonable at all."

All kinds of sunspots also jumped out, and Wu Li, who has always taken Hei Zhang Xiaotian as his own responsibility, sprinkled another big article, satirizing a player who did not dare to lead the team and did not dare to ask for a high salary to be selected as an All-Star.

Zhang Xiaotian doesn't care, there are just a lot of people, and he is actively preparing for a comeback.

James was one step ahead of him, and the Cavaliers returned in the away game against the Suns.

The Suns didn't do much in the summer, and their record this season is neither good nor bad, with a team on the fringes of the playoffs.

It's such a team, James' comeback still didn't help the Cavaliers win.

After James adjusted for a while, he was naturally in good shape, but Owen and Love, who had lost a lot of ball possession after his return, did not play well.

Smith played well and showed strong three-point ability, which is exactly what the Cavaliers need, but it was still a matter of ball possession.

In addition to the run-in problem to be re-solved, it is the head coach David Blatter, who is not there during this time, and he is also showing the strength of his European coach.

Including James' return to this game, he also used some tactics that are not very conventional in the league.

However, his tactics did not work well, and many fans shouted on the Internet for him to be dismissed.

What's more, fans are very much looking forward to Zhang Xiaotian's comeback to save the team.

Saving the team is a hero, and if it doesn't, it will be a huge pressure on the players and the team.

Like David Blatter, he didn't even talk a lot during this time, and he just kept a straight face all day long.

James is also not interested in European tactics, and losing this kind of thing really provokes contradictions.

Zhang Xiaotian thought about it again and again, but still chose to make a comeback ahead of schedule.

He's not in a problem with his body anymore, he wanted to adjust it again, but now it seems that he has to step up and contribute to the team.

And it is also a wiser choice to play the Lakers comeback, the Lakers' record this season is also a mess, although a good opponent returns, winning the game can give fans confidence, and it is also very helpful for players to adapt to the court again.

Therefore, this kind of thing should not be discussed after the fact.

There is also a reason for the Lakers' poor record this season, Kobe Bryant didn't play last season, and in the summer, he brought in players such as Jeremy Lin and Boozer, and the team is almost re-running-in, and the situation is much more troublesome than the Cavaliers.

The other is that there is a lack of All-Star level players other than Kobe.

Jeremy Lin didn't meet the expectations of fans in the Rockets, and the same was true in the Lakers, his style of play needed the ball too much, and every time he saw Jeremy Lin struggling between stars and ordinary players, Zhang Xiaotian was glad that he was sane and changed.

The Lakers' current starter is Kobe Bryant with a group of rough guys, and Kobe Bryant is the organizer to score one shoulder.

Their bench players have Nick Young, Jeremy Lin, Boozer and others who can score.

The Lakers give people the feeling that they have given up this season, and the team will be rotten if they don't run in well.

It's just that Kobe Bryant is here, and the Cavaliers can't say that they will definitely win, let alone the Lakers who have won more than a dozen games, and some time ago the Cavaliers even lost all kinds of fish belly.

Zhang Xiaotian doesn't know the state of his comeback, and he has changed two of the team's seven main rotations, and he doesn't know if he can adapt together.

Zhang Xiaotian started directly after his return, and Smith was a little unhappy.

But that's all, Smith looks more troublesome than Vites, in fact, this thing has been in the alliance for so long, and it won't be as nonsense as a young boy, at most it's a bit of a bully and afraid of the hard.

With James pressing, he won't mess around, but if Zhang Xiaotian doesn't play well, he will definitely have ideas.

Zhang Xiaotian naturally won't pay attention to this Smith, and the coach also knows that he is more suitable to play as a starter and partner with James.

The point is, he's more capable of being a player who can really help the team.

After observing Zhang Xiaotian's physical condition, the team still arranged for him to keep an eye on Kobe, if the situation was not right, it would be too late to change the defense.

For defending Kobe, Zhang Xiaotian has some expectations, but he is not very optimistic.

He has good feet and a lot of offensive means, but when he first entered the league, he couldn't keep up at all.

It was also quite troublesome against Wade before, and Kobe Bryant is definitely the type he doesn't want to guard against the most.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Xiaotian found that Kobe Bryant was more organized, and his style of play changed.

This is not the point, Zhang Xiaotian found that Kobe Bryant is really old.

He can also make difficult moves and score points in the face of defense, but the regression of the player's ability can be felt by anyone in the face-to-face battle, which is more accurate than the data.

The most intuitive thing is that Zhang Xiaotian has been able to keep up with Kobe's pace, although he has improved in the past two years, but Kobe Bryant has definitely lost his original domineering on the offensive end.

In the first quarter, both sides played well offensively, Zhang Xiaotian returned, and the Cavaliers' outside defense became more stable.

But the old problem is still there, and the team can't beat the opponent in the bench time.
