James plays the fifth position, Zhang Xiaotian plays four, and outside Dellavedova, . Smith, completely opposite the Warriors.

Tristan Thompson actually just didn't keep up a little, but he has been good at protecting rebounds.

Zhang Xiaotian suffered a loss of no rebounds in the first two seasons, and he still has a lot of feelings for big men.

However, the head coach has to work hard with the other party, and he is not afraid.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers played well on the first shot, James went out to cover Dellavedova, the Warriors blocked and changed the defense, and James received the ball and hit Curry to cause a foul.

But immediately the problem of fighting a small lineup came out, and the Cavaliers lost the backcourt rebound.

In fact, their small lineup is not bad, and they have tried it in training, but the key is that they rarely use this lineup in actual combat.

Iguodala got the frontcourt rebound and divided his teammates, and Barnes, who had no presence, played 2+1.

The Cavaliers called out another timeout and brought Tristan Thompson back.

With the Warriors leading by 2 points, it's time to push the strings.

After getting on the court, the Cavaliers let James play in a different position, but this time James missed the direct shot.

Warriors Curry broke through the ball to Barnes on the bottom line, and Shampert didn't completely interfere with it, but fortunately, the guy didn't shoot either, which scared the Cavaliers into a cold sweat.

The Warriors' five-small lineup can really give opportunities on the offensive end.

The Cavaliers attacked again, James held the ball and singled out, Zhang Xiaotian received the ball and stepped forward directly, and the three-point unreasonable hit, 94:93, the Cavaliers overtook him

With just 18 seconds left, the Warriors called a timeout.

After re-entering the court, the Warriors still led the offense with Curry as before.

Draymond Green stepped forward to cover, Curry came back with a series of feints, broke through and stepped back and broke forward, his speed was too fast, the help defense didn't have time, Curry made a layup, 94:95.

The Cavaliers didn't have a timeout at this point, but there were still nine seconds left to go.

James burst forward with the ball, Zhang Xiaotian opened his hand to ask for the ball, and Barnes immediately blocked in front of him.

James only hesitated for half a second before dribbling the ball inside, and immediately leaned back to shoot after a collision with Iguodala's body.

The ball bounced out after smashing on the basket, and the strength did not concentrate after the physical confrontation.

At this time, there was no time to wait, everyone rushed to the basket, and Zhang Xiaotian also broke out at the fastest speed the moment James made a shot.

A bunch of people were under the basket, but the first to get the ball was Tristan Thompson.

This is the weak link of the five small, and there is a possibility that there may be problems with rebounding.

It was the last minute, and Tristan Thompson was about to hold the ball, but Zhang Xiaotian had already taken the lead and scooped the ball directly from his teammate's chest with a wrist pick.

A pick-and-roll action, other people's minds are still grabbing rebounds, and they don't react at all.

The basketball smashed on the rebound, landed firmly in the basket, and then the red light on the rebound came on.

Lore, another lore, 96:95, the Cavaliers led 2:0 in the finals.

James scored 36 points and Zhang Xiaotian scored 26 points, and they teamed up to beat the strong Warriors again.

Speaking after the game, James said, "I don't really need any extra motivation anymore, a lot of things are small things compared to the moment...... Now, we will have a chance to make history. ”

Next, he also focused on the play of his teammate Dellavedova, "Obviously, he has been overlooked," said Zhan Huang, "Curry's poor play has to do with Dellavedova, he defends Curry closely, he makes Curry have to work harder, and he is fantastic on the defensive end." ”

As for his sluggish performance, Curry also has something to say, "A game that can't shoot accurately won't stop me from shooting, and it won't affect my self-confidence...... In the future, on the offensive end, we have to get better...... Normally, you want to leave everything on the pitch and that's frustrating because it's our home stadium and we should have won. ”

When asked by reporters about Zhang's performance, Klay Thompson only lightly said that he would do better on the defensive end in the next game.

Game 3 is back on the Cavaliers' home court, and while neither Love nor Irving will be able to return, their morale is high.

On June 9th, the players' families came to cheer them on.

Zhang Xiaotian feels energetic, and he is looking forward to playing at an All-Star level level in front of his family.

There were no changes to the starting line-ups for either side, but there were tactical changes.

The Warriors have increased their rotation, with the 10-man rotation giving more opportunities to bench players, and the Cavaliers adding playing time to a few key players, a completely opposite change.

It can only be said that the two sides have determined their respective advantages through two games, the Cavaliers are undoubtedly the stars, and the Warriors are tactics, and the Splash Brothers are also very powerful, but the first Finals can't do it to the extent of James.

They don't mess with the stars, they use the depth of the lineup, and strive for a few strong points in the final moments to have more energy to decide the winner, which is the right idea.

It's the same on the Knights' side, the key is to get more advantages with your teeth, and the tactical adaptability is not as strong as the opponent's, so make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

It's just that Curry still doesn't feel good, and the Warriors' system allows every player to score, but they don't play completely under the Cavaliers' defense.

After losing both home games, the Warriors also suffered some gains and losses, wanting to change and worrying.

However, their bench players still have combat effectiveness, especially the pseudo-substitute Iguodala, who performed well against James on both offensive and defensive ends.

Iguodala belongs to the type that can't be the boss, but after having strong teammates to help him attract firepower, he can be amazing, and some types are somewhat similar to Zhang Xiaotian.

It's just that Zhang Xiaotian's attack is stronger, and Iguodala is better at defense.

In the first half, the Cavaliers only played normally, but still led the Warriors by 7 points who were forced to adjust.

Things got worse for the Warriors in the third quarter, as it looked like everyone but Curry and Klay Thompson wouldn't be able to play.

The Cavaliers, who returned to their home court, became more and more courageous, and the score soon led by double digits.

The Warriors couldn't do anything about it, and Barnes couldn't even shoot in the open spot.

Steve Kerr is also depressed, some players are like this, they can't see the big scene at all, they can't see it at all during training.

After two timeouts, the Warriors put on a lineup that is rarely used in the playoffs.

It's also a small lineup, just replacing Barnes with David Lee, who has become soy sauce this season.

This forced lineup has a good effect.

David Lee is not good defensively, but on the offensive end, this guy is also a big heart, dares to shoot and has a very good shooting percentage.
