Chapter 317: Finish Defeating the Opponent
In fact, in the second half, the Eagles' defense was also more targeted.
Zhang Xiaotian, James and Irving have three ball-holding points, and they use team defense to limit it well.
But the key is that the Eagles' own offense can't play, and even fans can guess the outcome until the final star.
At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, Zhang Xiaotian hit three three-pointers against the defense.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in modern basketball games, and you must know that Curry is even more exaggerated in the West.
But the Hawks couldn't bear it, but there was still some problem in the confrontation between Carroll and James, and the house leak happened to be rainy overnight.
The form was so good that James had a four-minute break before coming up, and when he came up, he scored.
Without Carroll, the Hawks really don't have anyone to top James.
After half a quarter, the Cavaliers' lead was close to 20 points, and the game was out of suspense.
In the end, the Cavaliers won 100-85, James scored a game-high 31 points, and Zhang Xiaotian also scored 28 points.
The point is, they didn't just win the game, they also won the rebound.
The Eagles' interior is technical, and rebounding is not their strong point, so the loss that Love can't play may not be a big problem in this series.
At 5:03 of the fourth quarter, James made a passing error, and Carroll held the ball to a fast break after a steal, but injured his left knee and lay on the ground with a painful expression, and then was helped back to the locker room by the two. Speaking after the game, James said: "We're good brothers and you don't want to see anybody hurt. ”
In addition to being James' primary defender, Carroll has been the Eagles' leading scorer in the playoffs, and coach Budenholzer said: "Carroll is a very well-rounded player who makes a big impact on both ends of the floor. ”
Zhang Xiaotian's performance continued to be enthusiastic, and head coach David Blatter was also impressed, "He is a player to be trusted, he can always shoot the ball. ”
In the second game between the Warriors and the Rockets, Harden cut a quasi-triple-double of 38 10 9, but made a mistake at the last moment, and the Rockets lost again by one point.
With 7.9 seconds left in the game, Harden drove the ball quickly to the frontcourt, only to lose the ball under the double pack, lose the opportunity to shoot, and the Rockets fell short.
Of course, it was Curry's 30-year-old performance that left the Rockets struggling to catch up.
After the game, Rockets big man Josh Smith was very frustrated, according to him, at the last moment, Rockets coach McHale actually called a timeout, but the scene was too noisy for the referee team to hear, "In the last 5 seconds, the coach has called a timeout on the sidelines." But it was so noisy that I don't think either the referee or the players heard what he was saying...... It's really uncomfortable to lose two games in a row...... We didn't do a good job of moving the ball in the final moments, putting Harden under too much pressure. ”
Coach McHale believes that there is nothing wrong with Harden attacking in the final moments, "I will choose to let our best players attack at any time, no matter what happens on the court...... The next thing is that we have to win the third game and that's all that matters. ”
John Terry praised Howard's performance after the game, "He was injured in the last game, but in today's game, he still showed his determination to win the championship...... In the next third game, it is time to win, what could be better than at home? We have to play with a sense of urgency from the moment we jump the ball. ”
In fact, the Rockets' two-game losing streak is also a problem of roster control, they previously promoted Josh Smith to the starting team to beat the Clippers, but against Draymond Green, Josh Smith has no advantage.
The second game between the Cavaliers and the Hawks came as scheduled, and Irving chose to rest because of his poor physical condition.
This is why the Cavaliers have regained home-court advantage, and Irving can choose to take a break.
The team chose Dellavedova to start, and although Dellavedova was average on the offensive end, he played very hard, which was just right to deal with Teague.
On the Hawks' side, Carroll has no problem, but he is still completely inferior to James.
The impact of Irving's absence was even lower than the team expected.
Irving is a big threat on the offensive end, but he is often targeted on the defensive end, and now that Dellavedova is entangled with Teague, the Cavaliers' outside defense has taken it to the next level.
Speaking of which, the Hawks' ability to attack is too poor, the Cavaliers' lineup has not declined defensively, there is Shampert on the bench, Smith is a nerve knife at both ends of the offense and defense, but the Hawks' bench offensive end nerve knife, the defensive end is worse than the Cavaliers, on the whole, they are still inferior to the Cavaliers.
This is also a lineup that is restrained, and the Hawks' strong points happen to be restrained by the Cavaliers a few.
The Cavaliers didn't lead much in the first half, only five points, but the main team got a good rest.
Without Lefou, without Owen, Zhang Xiaotian and James can still rest fully, this is amazing.
David Blatter is very happy, he used to be envious of watching the Eagles' team attack, and now he feels the huge role of the star in the playoffs, and his state of mind has long changed.
And when the team has fewer ball-bearing points, his European tactics can play a little bit.
To be honest, he's not good at teams with too many stars, and it's just right now.
It might have been better if you didn't have a star, but you can't win in the NBA.
Now the Cavaliers have also dropped a bit, but the Hawks don't have the stars who can control the playoffs.
In the third quarter, Zhang Xiaotian and James teamed up to exert their might, Teague, Korver, Carroll, and Millsa were locked up, and the Hawks collapsed in an instant.
The Cavaliers are now one big and four small, and their defense is so strong that they are overpowering.
Horford can play two on the inside, but that's about it.
At the beginning of the final quarter, the score gap quickly came to 20 points, and the Eagles were cold again.
Even after half a quarter, the Eagles surrendered ahead of schedule.
There is an uproar in the outside world, this is the Eastern Conference Finals, how can it feel easier than the first round, the Cavaliers also let two generals, and the argument of Taishui in the East has a big market again.
It's not that the knights are too strong, because the knights are not strong, and the sunspots are always vibrant.
Zhang Xiaotian dismisses this, "Those are unprofessional judgments, we will use one victory after another to let everyone know that it is not that the east is too weak, but that we are too strong." ”
"When Kyrie and Kevin come back, the Cavaliers will be stronger, and it's not that it's disrespectful, but we have enough confidence."
Although Yang Feiyu was in the United States during this time, the second generation of Tianshen had made all preparations before the sale.
As long as it waits until the playoffs are over, it will officially be put on the market.
Zhang Xiaotian hopes to win the championship smoothly and also add fuel to the free choice of sales.
Love and Irving, the best Finals can be healthy and healthy, and I hope the Warriors and Rockets can grab a seven. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
