The 76ers only rested in Philadelphia for three days, and by the way, practiced tactical drills against the Cavaliers, and flew to Cliff on a special plane.

To play two away games in a row here, the club booked a hotel early and contacted the training gym.

On April 18, the 76ers came to the Quickloan Center arena.

In the away dressing room, Brett. Brown said, looking around at his players. "Guys, I know we're underdogs in the eyes of others and there's no way we're going to beat the Cavaliers. But what I'm trying to say is, guys, there's nothing in this world that you can't do. I've always believed that if we work hard, we will have a chance to beat the Cavaliers. Now the Cavaliers fans outside are waiting to celebrate the victory, all thinking about the opponent in the next round. But we're telling them never to give up! Tell me, isn't it? ”

"Yes!" All the players stood up and shouted.

"Okay, let's play!" Brett. Brown shouted.

Although Zhang Zifeng came with hope, although the 76ers management team had stayed up for several nights in a row in order to defeat the Cavaliers, hoping to find a strategy to deal with the Cavaliers. Although the 76ers practiced for a few days for this.

But the reality is cruel!

Facing the Cavaliers with a full roster in the playoffs, the 76ers realized that the gap between the two sides was so big, and the 76ers did not have any chance of beating the Cavaliers from beginning to end of this game.

The Cavaliers showed good shooting firepower during the game, shooting 25-of-45 from the field.

and hit a 20-5, 13-4 offensive climax in a row, including scoring 11 consecutive points, leaving the 76ers powerless.

Although the 76ers grabbed six more rebounds than the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers shot just 35.5 percent from the field for the 76ers.

Especially Zhang Zifeng, who performed well in the regular season, performed badly in this game, scoring only 16 points on 7-of-23 shooting.

If it weren't for the multiple secondary offensive opportunities, I'm afraid the 76ers would have lost more.

In the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, the 76ers trailed the Cavaliers 77-98 by a large score.

At this time, the 76ers basically gave up the game and replaced all the main shots.

Zhang Zifeng sat on the bench, sitting in his chair in frustration and not knowing what to think again.

With Smith and James taking turns serving, Zhang Zifeng knew that his performance in this game was completely subpar.

In this game, he couldn't play the familiar offensive rhythm at all, and he made a lot of mistakes.

"Mark, it's unbelievable. Zhang Zifeng, who performed well in the regular season, was completely lost in the playoffs. Under Smith's constant marking, and when James pounced on the defense and sent a big hat at the moment, Zhang Zifeng did not have the majesty of the regular season at all. Let's look at the data, oh, so far, Zhang Zifeng has only scored 16 points, but he has 7 turnovers. "Mike. Brin vs. Mark. Jackson said.

Mark. Jackson nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to know." The playoffs and the regular season are completely different concepts. The playoffs are a best-of-7 knockout format, and if you lose, you can go home for a vacation. In this case, the players will naturally work harder than in the regular season, especially defensively, and the intensity of the regular season is not the same. It's not that the playoffs are the best place to test a player's composition! ”

Van Gundy Jr. smiled at Mark. Jackson said, "Hey, Mark, are you suggesting that this Chinese is actually a false appearance, and completely exposed his true colors in the playoffs?" ”

Mark. Jackson heard Van Gundy Jr. digging a pit, and hurriedly shook his head and explained: "I didn't say that, I mean Zhang Zifeng is not ready for the playoffs, he needs to understand that the playoffs are different from the regular season, he needs to make changes and make adjustments." But all because Zhang Zifeng is a rookie this year, and this kind of thing will happen without any previous playoff experience, as long as he goes through it a few more times, he will adapt. I am very optimistic about Zhang Zifeng's prospects! ”

Mike. Brin nodded and said, "Yes, I hope Zhang Zifeng can adjust as soon as possible, so that he can help the 76ers." And not to be slaughtered by knights like this one! ”

Zhang Zifeng sat in a chair and regretted his mistake. Brown sat down next to Zhang Zifeng and said, "Jack, how does it feel in the playoffs?" ”

Zhang Zifeng heard it and thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "Although I have always heard Landry say that the playoffs are different from the regular season, but to be honest at the time, I was a little unimpressed, thinking that a game is a game, and something will be different." But now that I really feel like the playoffs, I realize that the atmosphere is completely different. The opponent has a more positive attitude, more running, the defensive intensity has come up, and every ball counts. ”

Brett. Brown nodded and said, "Actually, I knew before the game that the gap between us and the Cavaliers was not a star and a half, and there was no hope of winning and qualifying. But I'm still trying my best to find a way to beat the Cavaliers with my assistants, even if it's just one game, just to give you a little bit more of the atmosphere of the playoffs. Jack, you still have a long future ahead of you, and I may not have the opportunity to coach you again next season. But I would say it's an honour to have the opportunity to coach. Jack, you're a very hard worker, and God loves people who work hard. Jack, you have to believe that you will win the championship in the future, don't lose hope, don't relax your demands on yourself, and keep trying. You will make it! ”

Zhang Zifeng heard the grateful saying, "Thank you, coach!" ”

Brett. Brown patted Zhang Zifeng on the shoulder and said, "Experience the playoffs, adapt and learn more, and prepare for your future!" ”

After all, Brett. Brown stood up, called a timeout, and sent some players who hadn't had much of a chance to play before to get a taste of the playoffs.

Zhang Zifeng sat on the chair, no longer had the frustrated appearance before, and was watching the game seriously, thinking about his previous performance, what were his shortcomings, and what he needed to improve in the future!

Failure is the mother of success!

The pain of the first game of the playoffs made Zhang Zifeng more aware of his shortcomings.

In the end, the 76ers lost to the Cavaliers 96-110 on the road.

In this game, James scored a triple-double of 31 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

Compared with James, Zhang Zifeng scored 16 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, and 7 turnovers on 7-of-23 shooting from the field.

On April 21, it will continue to be the Cavaliers' home stadium.

The Cavaliers showed a strong offensive desire from the start, with Mo Williams scoring six points and Loew contributing four to lead the team to an 18-11 lead.

Zhang Zifeng's performance this time was much better than the previous one. Zhang Zifeng, who slowly returned to normal, caused a lot of trouble for the knights.

Zhang Zifeng scored 6 points in the first quarter and led the 76ers to chase the Cavaliers.

The first quarter ended with the 76ers trailing by five points at 29-34 Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers improved their defensive quality at the start of the second quarter, with LeBron, Mo Williams and Loew combining for seven points to help extend the margin to nine.

The 76ers trailed by 10 points at 72-82 at the end of the third quarter.

After the start of the final quarter, Zhang Zifeng hit consecutive three-point shots to narrow the gap to only 4 points. But it was also the smallest score difference in the game.

James stepped up, and the rampage under the basket made the 76ers quite helpless.

James' stellar performance helped the Cavaliers take an 11-point lead with 3:19 left in the game, setting the tone for the victory.

At the end of the game, the 76ers still lost to the Cavaliers 91-98.

In the end, the 76ers swallowed two consecutive defeats and fell behind 0-2 in the overall score.

Although the game was lost, everyone saw that Zhang Zifeng had slowly adapted to the playoffs, and he performed much better than the previous game, with 23 points and 7 assists.

The next game will be moved to Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, just as 76ers fans are full of confidence and expect the 76ers to win on their home court.

Unexpectedly, the 76ers performed worse than the last game.

Zhang Zifeng scored 26 points, 11 assists, and 4 rebounds, but the rest of the 76ers seemed to have lost confidence, completely lost their fighting spirit in the game, and they were not active in running.

In the end, on their home court, the 76ers lost to the Cavaliers 92-107.

With a 0-3 overall score and one more loss, the 76ers can announce that they are going on vacation.

JR-Smith even arrogantly said to the reporters after the game, "We can think about the opponent in the next round!" ”

Hearing JR-Smith's arrogant slogan, Zhang Zifeng knew that the team had to make adjustments.

After the game, Zhang Zifeng held a locker room meeting as the captain.

At the beginning of the first sentence, Zhang Zifeng shouted to all the players, "Guys, listen to JR-Smith's wild words, we can lose the game, but we must not lose the fighting spirit." If we give up now, we will surely become the target of ridicule from the national media. Everyone cheered up. The game isn't over yet. We have to fight back against the pride of the opposition on our own home turf! ”
