As a friend, Zhang Xiaotian congratulated Leonard on his performance.

Compared to the previous one, the Spurs have changed a lot of tactics, Leonard has become the core of the team, Popovich should have really made up his mind, and the Spurs have entered a new era.

In the other group of the West, the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers won the third game.

Although the Trail Blazers had 4 players scoring 20+ points, they were still suppressed throughout the game and never took the lead.

But Conley's injury retirement also laid some hidden dangers for the Grizzlies.

C.J. McCum may have been the Trail Blazers' only takeaway, and they suddenly discovered that there was still a young man on the team who could cut 20+.

The Hawks and Nets were the last teams to play Game 3, and the Nets finally paid off when they started Bogdanovic, winning the shoot-and-shoot duel with Korver and helping the team pull back a game.

Of course, the Nets' advantage has always been Lopez's side, and although Millsap grabbed 17 rebounds, the Nets won the battle for the interior.

If Deron hadn't degraded too much, the Nets would still have hope.

The third game is still being played here, and there are already two groups of teams entering the fourth game on the same day.

In the game between the Bulls and the Bucks, the Bucks finally pulled back a game without being swept.

Rose, the hero on the court, turned into the king of mistakes this time, and a fatal mistake in the final moments allowed the team to be killed.

After the game, the usually strict Bulls coach Thibodeau did not blame the players too much, especially Rose's play, "We held the ball for too long, I wouldn't attribute the loss to the last round, in fact, there were many rounds in the game, we could have played better...... I don't mind Rose being in the open field and he's playing beautifully nine times out of 10...... In the future, I still believe he can get back to form. ”

But Rose took full responsibility for the loss after the game, "I take full responsibility because I didn't protect the ball...... I messed up the game and it was really sad. I don't feel sorry for myself, I'm sorry for my teammates," Rose said, "and in a game, if you let the opponent go to the basket and do the final shot, it's definitely a very uncomfortable thing...... We had 27 turnovers in the game, and 20 of them were probably related to me. ”

It can only be said that Rose is really no longer at his peak, and his super play on the court has made him hallucinate.

On the Warriors' side, they swept the Pelicans 4-0.

Curry recorded a quasi-triple-double of 39+9+8 and was completely unstoppable in the game.

In front of Curry, Klay Thompson, who has scored 20+ in a row, seems a little more ordinary, but the two of them plus Draymond Green are the ones who really dominate the series.

Anthony Davis was good, but he couldn't bring even a win to the team.

I can only sigh that their opponent is too strong, and it shouldn't be so miserable if they meet other teams.

On April 26, there will be three groups of teams that have already played 3:0 in the fourth match.

Whether they can sweep their opponents is the focus of fans, including the Cavaliers.

The Celtics, who had their last hand, finally changed their starters, but only fine-tuned.

Smart, who was defended by Zhang Xiaotian and doubted his life, became a substitute, Jae Crowder came up to defend James, Turner's strength was too poor, and he was the same as a paper man in front of James, but his defensive awareness and attitude were good, and the Celtics replaced him against Zhang Xiaotian.

This starting lineup is slightly stronger defensively, but there is no qualitative change in scoring.

When Turner is restricted, that is, Bradley can play with the ball, in fact, Turner's strength is not as bad as this round of performance, but he was really restrained when he met the Cavaliers.

The point is, this starting lineup doesn't really limit the Cavaliers.

Jay Crowder couldn't defend James alone, he still needed to help defend, James broke through the ball, Irving and Zhang Xiaotian hit three points in a row, and in less than half a quarter, the Cavaliers led to 10 points.

The Celtics replaced Isaiah Thomas in the first four minutes, and then removed Jae Crowder and Turner for an all-attacking lineup with good shots.

They were already on the edge of the cliff, and they couldn't care about anything else.

At this time, there was an unforeseen scene.

As Lefoux struggled for a rebound, his arm was pinched by Olynyk, resulting in an injury to his left shoulder.

Arm entanglement is a small action commonly used in hand-to-hand combat, but this time the two sides have exerted some force, and Lefu can only retire with an injury if he dislocates his arm.

When something like this happens, the smell of gunpowder on both sides becomes stronger.

Especially on the Cavaliers' side, they are going for the championship, and the general will be injured in the first round, who can stand it.

Don't look at the fact that Love only ranked fourth on the team in regular season scoring, but his tactical role was very large.

It's all about defense and rebounding, it's all about opening up space in the offense.

Only when the interior can be pulled out, James's breakthrough point can play a big role.

This is also the reason why the team spent a lot of money in exchange for LeFou, Tristan Thompson and Mozgov were unable to pull out to give James space to break through, Lefu has to have something, and the Cavaliers are more than a little trouble.

There was an accident, and the team had to fight for more rest time.

Zhang Xiaotian, Irving and James all reduced their rest time and played directly on the court against the Celtics.

Celtics head coach Stevens tried a variety of lineups, with all 13 players coming up and trying, and still none of them could limit the three.

To open up space, the Cavaliers played Tristan Thompson one big and four after Love went off.

With Love not on the court, there will definitely be no room for the two interior lines, and they will also have to take advantage of the Celtics before they can react.

The Big Four Cavaliers also played this season, but they didn't use it much, but fortunately, the Celtics didn't have any ruthless roles inside, and they were led by the Cavaliers by more than 20 points at halftime.

At halftime, the Cavaliers got the news that Love might not be able to play in the rest of the game.

The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became a little strange, the strength of the Celtics is impossible to win this series, and the other party is fundamentally hurting others and not benefiting themselves.

The second half was more gunpowdery, and Smith was ejected for a malicious foul.

At this time, the knights realized that they were already in trouble, and there could be no new trouble.

What they need is to win the game quickly so that they don't have to dream too many nights.

After getting his mindset right, James began to restrain his teammates.

The leadership of James is still quite good, and the Celtics took advantage of the opportunity to catch up with some scores in the third quarter because of emotional problems, but it was not a big problem for the Cavaliers.

At the end of the third quarter, Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-pointer.

In the final quarter, the Cavaliers did not let Zhang Xiaotian, Irving and James rest, and the three directly played a wave of small climaxes on the offensive end, once again extending the lead to 20 points.
