The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 348 Irony
James really wanted to show his power, but Zhang Xiaotian's defense was really annoying. Compared with Iguodala, Zhang Xiaotian's confrontation ability was better.

He felt a little tired, although he felt that there was no problem with his body. He fought so hard that he fouled once and missed two free throws. James was suffocated to death.

He really wanted to piss off his teammates, when did the shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line get so low.

In fact, if he looked at the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage, he would think that a low point is fine, and he would treat it as an exchange.

However, even if there are no explosive points, the Warriors are still scoring points for the main offensive points, and the Cavaliers can't do it. They are obviously players of the same level. Why is this happening.

James felt incomprehensible, so he was upset.

James would certainly not mind if he could defeat the Warriors alone, but can it be done?

Not to mention Zhang Xiaotian's unexpected top defense, but Draymond Green's assist defense is very good, and the Warriors are not afraid of pick-and-rolls.

The Warriors can change players when they pick and roll, and it is also possible to switch to Curry.

Curry doesn't mind being broken through, but breaking through will definitely be a flanking attack. If James can kill the Warriors on Curry's head, that's all. Unfortunately, this is his weakness.

If James wants to fully play, his teammate can make a shot when he goes in and is flanked and passes outside the three-point line, but now everyone is fighting a small lineup, and the Warriors' rotation is very fast.

Even if there are some opportunities, there are very few hits on the Cavaliers side.

Neither side has a [-]th position with excellent scoring ability, so there is no need to shrink the defense. In the mutual injury mode, the Cavaliers' play is obviously a bit monotonous.

The Cavaliers also tried to let Irving play, but under the confrontation of this game, Irving didn't feel good.

When the time spanned 3 minutes, James finally hit two mid-range shots in a row.

The Cavaliers saw hope, and James felt much better.

But the Warriors immediately responded, and Curry also hit two consecutive goals.

Depressed, James made another strong shot, but this time he was interfered by Zhang Xiaotian.

After coming back to the Warriors, Klay Thompson hit again, and James suddenly felt like vomiting blood.

At 1 minute, the Cavaliers finally hit a three-pointer.

James needs this kind of support now. Although there is still a big gap, they still have hope as long as they bloom outside the three-point line.

Various thoughts flashed through James' mind, but Zhang Xiaotian made a three-pointer under a simple cover.

The Warriors are such a bully, always hitting when they have hope.

The Cavaliers chose to pause, and the Warriors also took the opportunity to deploy tactics to stick to the three-point line.

After returning to the court, the Cavaliers unexpectedly did not make a strong shot from the three-point line, and James subconsciously killed it.

Although a foul was drawn, it doesn't matter anymore.

As a result, James missed another free throw, and there was no suspense in the Christmas game between the two teams.

Zhang Xiaotian only scored 14 points, but he was very satisfied with being able to limit James to less than [-]% of his shots.

If the two teams in the finals can break through in the east and west, Zhang Xiaotian will have more experience in facing James.

After the game, Curry said in an interview: "It is a good thing to win the Christmas game. Our success stems from defense. We did everything we could."

Both sides pretended that this was an ordinary regular season before, but after the Warriors won the game, Curry danced happily, while James was very lonely.

The world of competitive sports is all about winning and losing, be it the regular season or the playoffs, winning is the truth.

"The Warriors are already the well-deserved No. [-] team in the league."

After the Christmas game, the media gave topics that could cause fans to spray each other.

Soon the fans were fighting on various forums, and some players also joined the topic, adding fuel to the fire.

The media and the league are actually willing to see this enthusiasm. Except for some stupid big mouths, no one will be a loser.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't care about these, but took Yang Feiyu out to play for a long time.

What he didn't know was that the Cavaliers' loss this time made James very uncomfortable. James was not unable to afford to lose, but felt ashamed, especially Zhang Xiaotian, who had caused him a lot of trouble in the two-year game.

The management of the team is too angry. His return has made the team earn a lot of money, and he is reluctant to give up the maximum salary. He feels that he must further deepen his influence on the team, otherwise the establishment of a dynasty will become a bubble.

After defeating the Cavaliers, the Warriors beat the Kings at home on the 28th.

They played a high rhythm that belongs to the Warriors, completely abolishing the role of Cousins.

The result of this game also made other teams very vigilant. If the big center can't affect the Warriors, is it really possible to compete with them for a small lineup? The Cavaliers can't win, and no other team has the confidence.

Unexpectedly, Curry felt a little uncomfortable and truceed, and the Warriors lost to the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are fairly active every summer, although some of their trades are confusing.

This season they signed Deron, traded for Zaza Pachulia, and even chased Wesley Matthews at a high price. As for the results, it can only be said to be similar to last season. .

In fact, the Mavericks' problem is that the core is old. Before they find a suitable successor, the playoffs are estimated to be the limit.

The Warriors' loss this time can only be said to have something to do with Curry, but after all, the Mavericks played well.

Because the Warriors did not lose to the outside line, but to the inside line.

Everyone found that it seems that there is no need for a powerful killer to deal with the inside line of the Warriors, and a blue-collar like Zaza Pachulia will do.

But Cousins ​​was completely unable to exert himself before, which is very incomprehensible.

"Without Curry, the Warriors are an average team after all."

"Curry's injury risk will destroy the team, and the Warriors' success is also short-lived."

The media that praised the Warriors a few days ago came out with various opinions after their loss.

To be successful, a team must have a durable core. Most of the teams that won the championship before did so. When Curry renewed his contract with the team, he did not get a higher salary due to injuries. Now we are talking about this topic again. There are a lot of inexplicable experts who are not optimistic about the Warriors.

People who don't like Zhang Xiaotian finally waited for the opportunity, and satirized that he can only hold his thighs and can't support the team.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't have time to care about those nonsense remarks. Next, they were going to Houston to play back-to-back away games, and Curry still couldn't play this time.

In fact, the team is clear inside, and Curry has no major problems at all. He is much more durable than he looks, just to take a break for insurance.

But in the face of all kinds of smearing remarks, the best response is to win.
