readx;
116-98, 118-100, the Cavaliers ended their game in Golden State and Phoenix with two thrilling victories. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Warriors played very hard throughout the game, and the Suns did not mean to release water, the Cavaliers' current offense is indeed a bit of a headache, and it may be like a team like the Bulls, pinching the Cavaliers' seven inches, which may have some impact on the Cavaliers, but how can a team like the Suns and the Warriors, which are not defended, be the opponents of the Cavaliers?
In the battle with the Warriors, the Cavaliers' four main attackers only played an average of just over 31 minutes each, Zhang Kong played 33 minutes, Maddy played 30 minutes, Carter played 29 minutes, and Jamison played 32 minutes, which has settled the battle.
This game belongs to the Cavaliers' bench players, Zhang Kong only scored 18 points in the whole game, but he sent 16 assists, and at the same time gave Alice who was opposite him a full 6 blocks and 8 rebounds, the total number of blocks reached 10, and another triple-double.
This is Zhang Kong's third consecutive triple-double, and he doesn't give anyone else any chance at all, Jamison contributed a team-high 21 points, Maddie 16 points, Carter also 16 points, Ramon Sessions got 13 points, he played a lot of time today, and JJ Hickson, who played center in bench time and got 17 points and 9 rebounds, Milicic 8 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, and now Milicic puts more energy on defense and offense? The Cavaliers don't need him.
Compared with the Cavaliers' full bloom, in fact, the Warriors played well, their center David Lee got 22 points and 14 rebounds, he mainly faced Milicic today, played quite well, and the Cavaliers' interior Milicic can keep up with his footsteps, last year's No. 2 rookie Stephen Curry scored 15 points, Dorrell Wright scored 20 points, and Monta Ellis scored a game-high 23 points, but he ate six blocks.
Zhang Kong will cover him to play today, and then Zhang Kong will get off the field, this kid is playing hard, Zhang Kong played for 33 minutes, he played for 43 minutes, and he was brushing points for the extra ten minutes, so that a crazy person like him was restricted by Zhang Kong, which was indeed very unpleasant.
After winning the Warriors, the Cavaliers came to Phoenix, where there is no winter, in fact, if you see the desert and winter one day, it is purely to see an illusion there, and the Suns have met the Cavaliers for the first time since the big trade.
Today's lineup for the Suns is that center Robin Lopez and his brother were really on fire last year.
His brother is in the Nets, playing All-Star statistics, and he is also established by the Suns as the future interior core of the Suns.
It can be said that the two brothers had a bumper year last year, but this year, Lopez Jr. was dumb, and Lopez Jr., together with his brother, was also dumb, although he is still the starting center of the Suns, but he has less than 30 minutes of playing time.
The Cavaliers' compressed playing time is to deal with the next away game, and his compressed playing time is pure compression.
Center Robin Lopez, the power forward is Channing Frye, who is more and more adapted to the Suns' offensive system, this kid shoots more three-point shots than Zhang Kong, for which Zhang Kong said that as a point guard, the pressure is really not small...... The small forward is Grant Hill, originally Zhang Kong has always been very interested in this all-round old guy, but Hill said that at least this season he will not consider leaving the Suns, it seems that he doesn't want to believe Zhang Kong, and he is really afraid of injury, if he arrives at the Cavaliers, his injury is not good, then he is too bad...... And the Suns clearly don't want to give up on Hill either.
The shooting guard is Jarred Dudley, a rookie at the end of the first round in '08, and now he is on his feet in the Suns, and the bench is dominated by Mo Jr., which is also the first time Mo has faced the Cavaliers since Mo Jr. was traded.
Although there is a factor of Xiao Mo in this game, the Cavaliers and Suns still can't play any anger.
Because both teams are the main super-fast offense, it is difficult for the Cavaliers to prevent the Suns Nash's advance, and the Suns have no way to defend against the Cavaliers, especially the No. 1 position, whether it is Xiao Mo, Nash or Dragic, they are all a big colander in the face of Zhang Kong, there is no chance at all, today the Suns' scoring is very balanced, and just looking at the data, you will really think that the Suns just lost to the Cavaliers, the Suns Nash 20 + 10 today, scored 20 points plus 13 assists, Channing Fry 16 points and 12 rebounds, Robin Lopez 15 points, Mo Jr. 19 points, Jarred Dudley 21 points...... If you just look at that, you'd think the sun was playing pretty well today! At least there are a lot of points of attack.
But if you go to the Internet and watch the video, you will find that sometimes the data is really deceptive.
In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers began to pull the Suns to play fast break at the beginning, except for the first ball in the opening game, the Suns' Nash advanced, the Suns led the Cavaliers, and then after Zhang Kong scored a three-pointer, the Suns did not overtake the score ...... In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers led the opponent by 6 points 32-26 into the second quarter, and in the second quarter, Zhang Kong and Maddy, the main forces, played after a half-quarter break, but with the play of Carter, they also led the Suns 26-25.
At the end of the half, the Cavaliers led the Suns by seven points at 58-51 and entered the third quarter, not to mention the third quarter, 39-30, it looks like the Suns played beautifully, but they still lost by as many as 9 points, the third quarter of the game ended, in fact, the whole game was over, with a gap of 16 points, the Cavaliers and the Suns entered the final quarter of the fight, the last quarter of the game, the Cavaliers and the Suns played very slowly, Nash and others began to brush the data, and Zhang Kong and a few of them sat on the court and chatted.
That's the tone of the whole game, so just looking at the stats, you think it was a pretty good game.
If you define a good game as a fast break, no defense, a dunk and an unreasonable three-pointer, this game is.
But if you talk about it from the confrontation surname, then this game is extremely ugly, no wonder the Suns are helpless now, the Suns who reached the Western Conference Finals last year, this year it doesn't look good.
For the Cavaliers, the best played today...... is still Zhang Kongbei, although there is no triple-double, but it is about the same, 25 points, 14 assists, 9 rebounds, 9 blocks plus 4 steals, such data is beautiful enough.
And Jamison, Carter and Maddy's performance today is also very eye-catching, Jamison 23 points, Carter 23 points, Maddy 27 points, these four guys together got 98 points, and Milicic is also very powerful today, grabbed 19 rebounds, when Jamison is not inside to grab rebounds, Milicic becomes the Cavaliers' rebounding machine.
In the end, the Cavaliers eliminated the Suns without blood, and prepared to leave for Los Angeles, where they will challenge the Lakers, who will never lose this year, even if they are not playing very well.
After all, his shelf is still there, if he wants to complete the triple championship, then the Lakers can't lose too badly in the regular season, especially in the face of those teams that look quite threatening to him, Spurs, Heat, Celtics, Bulls, and Cavaliers, although the Mavericks look strong, but the facts have long proven that they are just paper tigers.
However, before leaving Phoenix, Zhang Kong arrived and found a player in the Suns, generally speaking, this player Zhang Kong is still relatively familiar, Zhang Kong also knew him before, and almost lost in his hands.
This guy is Michael Petrus, who is known as the French Jordan, and this guy was originally on the Magic team.
Although he can't play the main team, he is definitely the No. 1 main scorer of the Magic team in the bench time, sharing the shot with JJ Redick, but with the arrival of Carter last year, Petrus's position is becoming more and more unstable.
When his performance was not very good this year, the Magic chose to trade him and traded him to Phoenix in exchange for Turkoglu and Richardson, and on the Suns, it was obvious that his defense, the Suns did not need it, and his three-point position was not compatible with the Suns' style of play, which is now Petrus, who almost didn't even have playing time.
But in Zhang Kong's view, he is a good substitute player, of course, it is just his appearance, and the transaction matter still has to be handled by the team, in fact, now the team intends to introduce some inside, the Cavaliers' inside, it's too bad...... On the contrary, their outside line is a little too gorgeous, Zhang Kong, Maddy, Jamison plus Carter, who is now playing the sixth man, the outside line of the Cavaliers, gorgeous and frightening, if before the start of this season, these guys get together, it is definitely a shameful outside combination, but after this season, everyone found that these dead trees have sprouted, which is really amazing!
The general manager of the Cavaliers, who has heard that he has been nominated as one of the candidates for the general manager of the year...... Although Maddie's glow is a relationship between Zhang Kong, people in the outside world only know that the person who traded them is the manager.
With the glory of 28 consecutive wins, the Cavaliers got on the team's charter plane and flew in the direction of Los Angeles.
The goal is to break the Lakers' 33-game winning streak and put their name on the NBA's history board.
