Chapter 274: The Christmas War

The Grizzlies started the second half well on the offensive end, and it was clear that they did a good job at halftime.

However, they are not a team known for attacking after all, and their performances on the offensive end lack some consistency.

With Vitesse in good shape, the Cavaliers played one big and four small, breaking down the Grizzlies' proud defense with offense.

David Blatter is a little tormented, the current Cavaliers look strong, but they are getting farther and farther away from his ideal team.

But as a professional coach, he's not so pedantic.

He and the team have the same goal, which is to pursue the championship.

When the defense doesn't work, it's a matter of time before the Grizzlies lose.

In the end, the team won the victory smoothly, and Vitesse also had a dumpling and got 20+.

Vitesse was smug in an interview after the game, "I've found a way to help the team, there were some misunderstandings between me and the team, but now it's all settled. ”

'I can help the team open up with a tight defence and the team needs my quality.

defeated the Grizzlies with a very good record, even if the opponent lacked a major general, the atmosphere on the Cavaliers' training ground was still much more active, and victory was the biggest contributor to the team's harmony.

After the Grizzlies, another Western team visited, and it was the Timberwolves, Lefou's old club.

The Timberwolves didn't leave Lefu behind, and it's now a standard fish belly.

And they belong to the house leak happened to rain overnight, Kevin Martin and Nikola Pekovic suffered injuries again, and the only one who can hold up the court is the first-round pick who was traded from the Cavaliers, Andrew Wiggins.

Although the Timberwolves have a poor record and strength, there is still a topic of battle between the two teams.

The old club, the champion show and the like, are enough for reporters to have a lot of reverie.

In fact, the two teams take what they need, the Cavaliers need the present, the Timberwolves bet on the future, and the fans like gimmicks and don't care about what's behind it.

However, Wiggins is still scrappy, and he was looking forward to working with James, but he was traded away all of a sudden, which is quite embarrassing.

The other champion, Bennett, has no sense of existence, and in competitive sports, the weak have no say.

At the beginning of the game, Wiggins played extraordinarily positively, and the young man played with this spirit.

Relatively speaking, Love is very calm, James and Irving deliberately make him the ball, but he doesn't have much desire to shoot.

Zhang Xiaotian took on a good job, that is, the energetic Wiggins defensively.

To be honest, this kid's physical fitness is really good, and it is difficult for Zhang Xiaotian to hold it down when he is excited.

However, there is still some lack of experience, especially in defense, Zhang Xiaotian is not polite to teach rookies.

After a quarter, Wiggins was not so aggressive, after all, physical strength is not unlimited.

Zhang Xiaotian was secretly amused, it seemed that this person really had a grudge against the knight, and he didn't even allocate his physical strength.

To be honest, the Timberwolves played passionately in the first half, showing good talent on offense, and on the defensive end, sophomore Gorgui Kiang also showed very good defensive ability.

It's a pity that their defense is not integrated, and the Cavaliers can easily score whether they are the main players or substitutes.

Vitesse also continued his playing performances and seemed to have really found his niche.

By the third quarter, the Timberwolves couldn't hold it up.

The Cavaliers won another big victory, Zhang Xiaotian also cut 20+ with James, Irving, and Love, and the four kings that his fans talk about seem to be the case.

However, fans are more focused on the Cavaliers' next back-to-back away games.

In fact, it was the first game of back-to-back, James and Zhang Xiaotian returned to Miami as guests.

Of course, there is another name for this ball, and that is the Christmas war.

Unfortunately, Bosh, the Heat's highest-groping contract in history, was unable to play due to injury.

On the Cavaliers' side, Vallejo was also injured in the last game, and the team didn't have much of a problem starting Tristan Thompson, but there was no inside bench.

Fortunately, the Heat is also a team without an interior line, and after Bosh was injured, the Heat were not enough to play one big or four small.

However, a few days earlier, the Heat signed a fringe man named Hassan Whiteside, who is a big man with a good size.

This guy is still the second-round show that Zhang Xiaotian failed to be selected that year, because of his rough skills, no one has wanted it, but because of his height, this guy was still able to mix up living expenses everywhere before, unlike Zhang Xiaotian, who could only play amateur.

As far as sticking to the game is concerned, he's also a very persevering guy.

You must know that this person sat on the cold bench for two years after being selected, and then went to play in the Development League, and the Development League couldn't get along and went to the other side of the ocean to play for two years, and he still played in the second-tier league on the other side of the ocean, Zhang Xiaotian didn't have the courage.

After returning to the NBA this season and being cut twice by the Grizzlies, he was claimed by the Heat, who lacked an interior lineman.

James is also a little embarrassed to return to Miami, but Zhang Xiaotian does not feel so big, after all, he has only played for one year, and Battier, who has the best relationship in the team, has also retired.

The Heat lineup has changed a lot now, and Zhang Xiaotian is in the No. 2 position, so he naturally wants to keep an eye on Wade.

This is a very sour task for him, he is not as good as defending Wade, Wade because although his knee is not as fast as when he was young, the footsteps of the guard are enough to make people want to die.

It's not a matter of strength, it's a matter of playing style, Zhang Xiaotian is still a striker in his bones.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Xiaotian felt the pain of being unable to use his strength, Wade still knew his defensive style very well, and he didn't fight with him at all, just playing with his feet.

And Wade was very positive today, with the boos of the home fans, that is very exciting.

Playing at home, the Heat's players are more excited than the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers actually played well with efficiency, but they couldn't win the rebounding game, and it was strange that their last two rebounding idiots couldn't win the Heat, who only had an inside line.

However, they still have more scoring points, and on the offensive end, Wade can't completely lock Zhang Xiaotian.

When the main team was present, the two teams played very lively, and the score was alternately leading, whether it was the audience or the fans guarding the live broadcast, they were all enthusiastic.

But in the rotation thing, Vitesse, who has been in hi for two games, has withered again, and the rotation of the Cavaliers is a bit messy with fewer people.

They have few substitutes, there are only seven main rotation players, one less is definitely not easy to arrange, and the others who can come up to save the game are all outside, and the Cavaliers are almost forced to fight with the Heat.

And the small inside role signed by the Heat seems to be quite good, although it looks rough, but when it comes up, there are frontcourt rebounds and big hats, why can't this kind of player play before.

After the Cavaliers messed up a game of bench players and didn't score, the Heat quietly led to 10 points, and the Cavaliers were in trouble.
