The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 322 Warrior's Tuition

James played at the fifth position, Zhang Xiaotian played at the fourth, and Dellavedova, Shumpert and JR Smith outside were completely against the Warriors.

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

Zhang Xiaotian suffered from no rebounds in the previous two seasons, and he still has affection for big men.

However, if the head coach wants to fight the opponent hard, he is not afraid.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers played the first ball well. James went out to cover for Dellavedova. The Warriors picked and rolled and changed defenses.

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

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

Iguodala got an offensive rebound to score teammates, and Barnes, who had no sense of presence, scored 2+1.

The Cavaliers paused again and brought back Tristan Thompson.

The time is already more than one minute, the Warriors lead by 2 points, it is time to go all out.

After playing, the Cavaliers made James misplaced again, but this time James missed a direct shot.

The Warriors Curry broke through and gave the ball to Barnes on the baseline. Shumpert didn't completely interfere. Fortunately, the buddy didn't make a shot either, which scared the Cavaliers into a cold sweat.

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

The Cavaliers attack again, James holds the ball and separates out after singles, Zhang Xiaotian catches the ball and directly steps forward, hits an unreasonable three-pointer, 94:93, the Cavaliers overtake

With only 18 seconds left, the Warriors requested a timeout.

After playing again, the Warriors still led the offense by Curry as before.

Draymond Green stepped forward to cover, and Curry made a continuous fake move, breaking through, retreating and then breaking forward. His speed was too fast, and the defense did not have time. Curry made a layup, 94: 95.

The Cavaliers have no timeout at this time, but there are still 9 seconds left.

James rushed 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 after a collision with Iguodala, he immediately leaned back and shot.

The ball was bouncing out from the rim, the power boy, the strength was not concentrated after the physical confrontation.

At this moment, there was no time to wait any longer, everyone rushed to the basket, and Zhang Xiaotian also exploded at the fastest speed the moment James shot.

A bunch of guys are under the basket, but the first one to get the ball is Tristan Thompson.

This is the weak link of the fifth small team, and there may be problems with rebounding.

The time was already at the last moment, Tristan Thompson was about to hug the ball, Zhang Xiaotian was already one step ahead, directly fished the ball from his teammate's chest, and flicked his wrist.

An action of picking the basket, other people's thinking is still grabbing the rebound, and they don't react at all.

The basketball hit the backboard and fell steadily into the basket, and then the red light on the backboard came on.

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

James scored 36 points and Zhang Xiaotian scored 26 points. Together they defeated the mighty Warriors again.

After the game, James said when talking about the game, "I really don't need any extra motivation. Compared with this moment, many things have become trivial... Now, we will have the opportunity to make history."

Next, he also focused on the performance of his teammate Dellavedova, "Obviously, he has been ignored by people," James said, "Curry's poor performance is all related to Dellavedova , he guards Curry next to him, he makes Curry have to work harder, he's great on the defensive end."

As for his sluggish performance, Curry also has something to say, "An inaccurate shot in a game will not stop me from shooting, nor will it affect my self-confidence... On the offensive end in the future, we must become better... …Usually, you want to leave it all on the court, but it's frustrating to end up like this because it's our home game and we should have won."

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

The third game is going back to the Cavaliers' home court. Although neither Love nor Irving can make a comeback, their morale is high.

On June 6, the family members of the players came to the scene to cheer for them.

Zhang Xiaotian feels full of energy, and he looks forward to playing at an All-Star level in front of his family.

The starting lineups of both sides have not changed, but the tactics have been adjusted.

The Warriors have increased the rotation, and the ten-man rotation has given more opportunities to the substitute players. The Cavaliers have increased the playing time of several main players, which is completely the 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, while the Warriors are tactics, and the Splash Brothers are also very good, but they can't reach the level of James in the first finals.

They don't play with stars, use the depth of the lineup, and strive for a few strong points at the last moment to have greater energy to decide the outcome. This kind of thinking is correct.

The same is true for the Cavaliers. The key is to tighten your teeth and gain more advantages. If the tactical adaptability is not as strong as the opponent's, then use your strengths to avoid weaknesses.

It's just that Curry still doesn't feel good. Every player in the Warriors' system can score, but they didn't fully play out under the Cavaliers' defense.

After losing both home games, the Warriors are also a little worried about gains and losses, wanting to change and worrying.

However, their substitute players are still capable, especially the pseudo-substitute Iguodala, who performed well against James on both offense and defense.

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

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

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

The Warriors' situation got worse in the third quarter. Except for Curry and Klay Thompson, everyone else seemed to be unable to play.

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

The Warriors have nothing to do with the five players, and Barnes can't even make an open shot at this point.

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

After two timeouts, the Warriors put out a lineup that they rarely use in the playoffs.

It can be considered a small lineup, except that David Lee, who has become soy sauce this season, replaces Barnes.

The lineup that was forced to be put out turned out to be pretty good.

David Lee's defense is not good, but on the offensive end, this buddy is also a big heart, he dares to take shots and has a good shooting percentage.
