The game between the Spurs and the Jazz was again in the last row, and on May 6, the Spurs came to Utah, where the home of the Devils is called.

Zhang Xiaotian heard the shouts of the opposing fans in the locker room, but he was completely used to it.

Home field advantage is there, but in the playoffs, sometimes it doesn't help.

It is still the Spurs who take the lead, and the Spurs sometimes heat up slowly, but since Zhang Xiaotian's return, this situation has been relatively rare.

However, the Jazz were more resilient when they returned to their home court, and that happened during the rotation.

After Pau Gasol returned to the starting lineup, the Spurs' bench attack power dropped a bit, allowing the Jazz to take their chances.

Taking the lead for the first time at halftime, although it was only in single digits, the Jazz's morale was high.

Vicky was certainly not satisfied, and at half-time he counted down the team's defense.

Hayward actually defended this well, and this was a good role player for the Jazz.

The Spurs players did take it for granted, because the opposing role players did not play well in the first two games.

"Don't be overlooked, our opponents have won beautifully." Zhang Xiaotian stepped forward and exercised his responsibility as a leader.

Although there is some disrespect for the current opponent, the Spurs do only have teams like the Warriors and Cavaliers that have outstanding playoff performance in the eyes of the Spurs, and Vicky is also turning a blind eye to this.

In the third quarter, the Spurs adjusted their defensive strategy and resolutely did not flank the attack.

Instead of letting the Jazz revitalize the team, it is better to let Hayward play star basketball, Hayward's strength is good, but it is still two notches worse to play like this.

Hayward's performance in this playoff game can be said to be very good, even if Leonard is tightly guarded, it can't completely limit him, but that's enough.

Hayward's personal scoring continued to rise, but the Spurs took the opportunity to overtake the score.

Jazz also saw the problem, but they couldn't respond effectively.

Gobot is also a strong point, but his offensive ability is insufficient, and Joe Johnson is completely useless when he meets the Spurs, even if he returns to the bench and staggers Zhang Xiaotian is limited by Danny Green.

The Jazz had no choice but to fight hard, Hayward and Gopott played on top, relying on them for offense and defense, while others took turns to play, and even deliberately created physical entanglements.

It's just that for Spurs, these are not very useful.

Especially Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, the two main generals, they are not afraid of physical contact at all.

Entering the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian had a tendency to open the score with a rotating lineup.

Not only is he a sharp scorer, but he is also very dangerous when he passes to a few batteries outside.

The Jazz are tired of defense, and the offensive end is getting worse and worse.

When all the Spurs' main players played, the Jazz once again had a feeling of powerlessness.

In the final moments, they also added three-point shots in anticipation of a miracle, but this was not what they were good at, and with Zhang Xiaotian's three-pointer extending the Spurs' lead to double digits, the Jazz had to resign to fate.

Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard combined to score 60 points, which is in front of the Jazz who are desperate on defense, with such a strong strength, the Jazz really have no choice.

In this game, Mills took on the responsibility of the team's No. 1 position, and he also hit a lot of key shots.

Speaking after the game, he said: "It was a tight win and every player who came on the pitch made an impact on the game and took on their role. I'm just trying to make sure my team-mates have a good energy and atmosphere to let everyone know that no matter what happens, we can still win the game. ”

Jazz head coach Snyder was a little desperate when he was interviewed by reporters, "These are two of the best players in the league, and they scored incredible goals when the team needed them. Sometimes you can do everything you can and end up being beaten by a player who can put on a great performance. ”

In terms of the means of beating the Clippers, Snyder was not bad, but he met the Spurs.

On May 7, the Cavaliers were the first team to complete a sweep.

While Cory Joseph, who replaced Lowry, was almost perfect, the Raptors were defeated.

They couldn't limit James, and the outcome was predestined from the start.

After the game, Cavaliers head coach Lu was in high spirits, "The closing game is always difficult, I have a lot of respect for Coach Casey, all their players are well prepared. ”

"But in the second half of the season, James came to another level entirely, he led the team forward, and he flew with us now."

"We know it's never going to be easy, it's always going to be very intense, and for us, we want to end the series, and for them, it's their last chance, so they're going to give it their all, and that's exactly what they do, and you have to respect them for that," Irving said. ”

"And all we want is to play, get a win and rest for a few days to prepare for the next round."

"When James shoots like that, it's hard for the Cavaliers to beat, and I'm not saying they can't beat them, but it's going to be very, very difficult." Raptors head coach Casey lamented.

"It's so open on the court, especially when Channing Fry and Kyle Korver are there, it's going to be a lot more open and then Irving is going to be sharper on the dribble. They caused us a lot of problems on the offensive end and you have to score 117 or 118 points to beat them because they have so many offensive weapons. ”

'These offenses were started by James, he was able to open up space on the court, he played like a point forward, and he was one of the best players ever in this position.

Coach Casey's words are normal, but DeRozan has apparently given up on treatment, saying in an interview: "If we had LeBron James on the team, we could have won this easily." ”

In fact, Zhang Xiaotian also felt that the Cavaliers' performance was getting better and better after entering the playoffs, and the chemistry between James and Irving was very stable, but the Cavaliers' weaknesses were still obvious.

Their defense is weaker than that of the Spurs and the Warriors, and it's not that a strong team in the first tier is without weaknesses, but their strong aspects can cover up weaknesses.

Of course, the Spurs don't need to think about the Cavaliers just yet.

If nothing else, they will make it to the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors, a strong opponent on the offensive end who is on the same level as the Cavaliers in the playoffs, but with a more reasonable firepower distribution and a stronger defensive end.

So they have to get rid of the Jazz quickly and prepare for the war.

In the other group, the Celtics and Wizards are still fighting happily, and it is still completely unclear who will have the opportunity to compete with the Cavaliers for the strongest in the East.
