The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 318 Re-advancing to the Finals
The Cavaliers won the game easily, and the role players were able to hit three-pointers.

At the critical moment of this game, the Eagles were still chasing points, because the team missed several open three-pointers.

If the others miss the shot, the Eagles can attack Zhang Xiaotian and James without hesitation.

In other words, the Eagles have put all their eggs in one basket, just not allowing the two to score easily.

When the Cavaliers attacked again, they switched to the pick-and-roll tactics of James and Zhang Xiaotian.

After the first gear was dismantled, Zhang Xiaotian hit the mid-range shot after receiving the ball, without giving the opponent time to pinch.

In fact, it has been possible to play like this for a long time, but James always passes the open space habitually, and Zhang Xiaotian has less possession of the ball if he can't keep up.

The Eagles still attacked Teague, but this time he rushed in, the Cavaliers also flanked, and Teague hit the iron.

The Cavaliers attacked again, and it was another pick-and-roll. This time Zhang Xiaotian became the bait. James went straight to the basket and caused a foul. Although he only made two free throws and one, he also extended the lead by 1 point.

After the timeout, the Eagles used a three-point tactic, Teague attracted the defensive pass, and Mike Scott went to the outside to make a shot, but the Cavaliers had already taken care of it, and the timely interference made the opponent return without success.

With a 2-point lead and only the last 30 seconds left, the Eagles must defend to have a chance.

James wasted time holding the ball, and waited until the last few seconds to kill inside, and the Eagles' defense immediately surrounded him.

If it was other players, they could only force their shots at this time.

But James took the ball out in the last two seconds, and Zhang Xiaotian pulled it up expressionlessly after receiving the ball. Whether it was two seconds or one second, he was always ready.

109:104, 6.3 seconds, the Cavaliers lead by 5 points, and the victory is sure.

At the last moment, Teague forced a three-pointer, but was disturbed and missed. The Cavaliers took a 3-0 lead at home.

James scored a triple-double, surpassed Kidd with 12 triple-doubles in the playoffs and rose to second place in history, and Zhang Xiaotian scored another double-double with 20+10.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, James, who had fired the last bullet, lay on the floor tiredly, and finally stood up with the support of his teammates. "It's a great feeling to be able to play like this for my teammates and I'm just happy that I can contribute to that."

Although he regretted losing the game and fell behind 0-3, Eagles coach Budenholzer still said: "I am very proud of the hard work of the players."

After the game, Horford was bitter about being ejected, and alluded to Dellavedova's dirty play, "I do think he came at me, but I should have responded better. I shouldn't have been ejected Come out and I'm definitely going to learn from it."

As one of the contributors to winning the game, Zhang Xiaotian tactfully replied to the reporter's question: "Fouls are naturally judged by referees. I believe in the standard of referees in the league. I am only responsible for helping the team win the game. Made it once."

In the fourth battle between the Warriors and the Rockets, the Rockets, who lose or be eliminated, exploded with the greatest energy.

Harden scored 45 points to bring the team their first victory in the Western Conference Finals, while Curry was injured in the second quarter and once left the game.

After the game, Curry's injury became the focus of attention from the outside world.Warriors general manager Bob Meyers said that Curry only had a head contusion and did not show symptoms of concussion. "If Curry had a concussion, we would not let him play again, and he returned with an injury The way he played on the field showed his tough side."

But unfortunately, Curry insisted on fighting, but did not help the Warriors win the game.This night, the star of the Rockets, Harden, became the most eye-catching player, "I always want to play in the right way, and vent my frustration on the opponent...Today's game, I always let myself Staying aggressive and playing all the energy."

Brewer said, "We don't want to be eliminated like this. I guess everyone on the team is a little angry, which is a good thing for us. Our dissatisfaction with our performance finally prompted everyone to play the game they wanted. We're not going to let anyone sweep us at home ... History is always made by people, why not us?"

In the fourth game between the Cavaliers and the Eagles, Korver was unable to play, but Irving decided to return.

Owen, who rested for two games, was in very good condition, hitting consecutive hits at the beginning.

For the Eagles, this is obviously not good news. They have weakened on the offensive end, but the Cavaliers have become stronger.

As for playing Irving on the offensive end, Teague may be able to play a few, but he doesn't have the strength to use it to defeat the Cavaliers' overall defense.

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by double digits. This is the home court of the Cavaliers, and the Eagles couldn't get up to speed at all.

At the end of the half, the Cavaliers had four players in double figures, leading the Hawks by 17 points.

During the intermission, the atmosphere in the locker rooms of both sides was completely different.

David - Blatt had to remind the players to hold on, the game is not over, they must hold on to the advantage and let the series end at home.

After all, several major players, including James and Zhang Xiaotian, have had some minor injuries after a season. Although it does not affect their appearance, it takes time to adjust, and sweeping is the best way.

In the second half, the Hawks still couldn't get up to speed, but the Cavaliers played a better game than the Hawks, which directly turned the fourth quarter into garbage time.

So in many cases, tactics are only one aspect. The mental state of the players and the state of the players can determine the smoothness of the game.

骑士最终以118-88大胜老鹰，带着4-0的总比分横扫对手晋级到2015年总决赛当中，他们的总决赛对手将会是西部决赛勇士与火箭的最终胜者。

This is the first time the Cavaliers have reached the finals since 2007, and the last time they entered the finals was the brilliant record led by James. At the same time, this is also the sixth time that James has reached the finals in his NBA career.

另外，骑士30分大胜老鹰，这是自从1996年5月20日的公牛121-83大胜魔术38分之后，19年来东部决赛的单场最高分差纪录。

James is also very happy to win the Eastern Conference championship again, which shows that the most difficult time for him to return to the Cavaliers has passed, and then he only needs to make history.

And Irving and other stars who have never achieved results in the playoffs are even happier at this time.

All ball possession tactics are put aside at this time.

Now it's just celebration and greater ambition, and the championship is one step away, which is incredibly exciting.

Especially the Cavaliers fans, they have been looking forward to a championship for a long time. James once gave them hope, and James' departure gave them despair. Now hope has come again.

In the face of the feelings of the city, Zhang Xiaotian is also willing to become a supporting role.
