329 Effort is the least worthy of showing off!
In the battle between the Trail Blazers and the Cavaliers at Tianwang Mountain, the Cavaliers were beaten 8 to 2 by the Trail Blazers.
"It was really wise to choose Jokic!"
Sitting on the bench, Zhou Si looked at Jokic and couldn't help but smile.
Jokic, who started in the middle to provide support, completely revitalized the team!
After the last game, coaches Zhou Si and Stotts concluded that since they are playing against each other, why not replace Jokic with a longer range and better support?
After two days of testing, the pioneers' magical door was opened directly.
Jokic can not only support and attack, but on the defensive end, he can also use his huge body to occupy a good position in the interior, giving Zhou Si a chance to help defend after confrontation.
In this game, James suffered a hidden loss from the beginning. After the confrontation, he was served in a hot pot by Zhou Si!
However, the famous European coach Blatt still has something, and he directly replaced Bynum with JR Smith. This is the most effective offensive lineup after his consideration.
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
When J.R. Smith only had nerves but no knife, and missed three-pointers one after another, even James could only hold his forehead and sigh.
When JR directly knocked down Jokic who was doing a pick-and-roll during a defense and earned a flagrant foul, Blatt quickly replaced JR, who was still arguing with the referee and almost angered the referee and was awarded a technical foul.
Coach Bratt’s offensive plan also failed!
Not all teams can play with a lineup of one big and four small!
At this time, Coach Bratt felt a big headache!
It doesn't matter if G4 loses, 2 to 2, both sides are on the same starting line.
But if we lose the Battle of Tianwang Mountain again, we will really be doomed!
Although this is only his rookie coaching season, Blatt knows what this season means to the Cavaliers.
If he doesn't win the championship, he will probably be fired!
After returning from the timeout, James began to control the court strongly and assist his teammates!
Zhou Si also responded with various singles!
After all, Zhou Si is actually the same person as James, and the ultimate goal of both people is to win.
It's just that Zhou Si prefers to do it himself at critical moments, while James likes to pass the ball to the person who has the greatest confidence in scoring!
Both of them gave it their all!
After the first quarter, relying on the advantage accumulated from the beginning of the fifth primary school, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers 35:29!
In the second quarter, Zhou Si and James, who had played the entire first quarter, pulled off the towels on their heads at the same time and continued to play!
In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, both of them seemed to be ready to fight the whole game.
On the Cavaliers side, various superstars are playing singles, while on the Trail Blazers side, they continue to play team basketball!
Zhou Si knows very well that in this long series, the distribution of physical strength is very important!
On the court, Lillard broke through from the wing and cooperated with Zhou Sla, who was running in at high speed in the middle, passing the ball hand-to-hand!
When Zhou Si received the ball, he was already under the basket, and Bynum had to jump up to block the shot. However, Zhou Si, who was pretending to take off, did not actually leave the ground with his feet, and passed the ball behind his back to McGee, who was cutting in from the other side.
“Clang——!”
McGee dunked.
On the Cavaliers' side, Irving changed direction and dribbled the ball in a sultry manner, then hit a mid-range shot!
These two attacks are also the epitome of the second quarter.
After halftime, the Trail Blazers led by 10 points at 61:51!
After the halftime break, the Trail Blazers continued to play with one large and four small lineups.
The Trail Blazers, playing with a small lineup of one and four, are actually not invincible, because although Jokic's weight has dropped, his physical fitness has not fully kept up!
After playing for five minutes, Jokic had to take a rest.
He really couldn't run at this time!
However, these short five minutes were of great significance to this battle at Tianwang Mountain, because the lineup of one large and four small not only made Blatter scratch his head, but also gave the Trail Blazers a 15-point lead at 76:61!
At the home court of the Trail Blazers, all the fans have stood up to watch the game!
They seem to have seen the shining golden trophy waving to them!
On the court, the sweaty James looked in the direction of the Trail Blazers with a look of dismay!
Why, why is my road to winning the championship always so difficult!
Four finals, one championship!
How can I surpass that old gangster!
Zhou Si looked at James who looked unwilling, but didn't think so much.
All he can think about now is to stabilize the score, win this game, win the next game, and win the first NBA championship in his life!
Basketball is so cruel, no one will pity you, you have to fight for what you want!
Seeing James sweating profusely and still fighting with all his strength, many James fans called him affectionately in front of the TV.
"Long live my emperor!"
"My emperor will win!"
"Emperor, hold on!"
It's a pity that the Trail Blazers, like a man who doesn't understand the charm, didn't give the Cavaliers any chance at all.
Especially Zhou Si fought with James in various ways.
Although there was no physical confrontation, Zhou Si's elusive kick always posed the greatest psychological and physical threat to James!
After the third quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 17 points 87:70!
The Cavaliers are already standing on the edge of the cliff!
In front of the TV, many Clevelanders can no longer bear to watch!
Our players have obviously worked so hard and fought so hard, why can't they win the game?
Zhou Si wanted to tell them.
Hard work is the last thing worth showing off on the basketball court!
Who didn’t work hard?!
On the court, even the players sitting on the bench put in far more effort and sweat than the fans imagined!
If you want to win, show your strength and don’t talk about anything else!
During the break, Blatter showed his courage as a famous coach and prepared to bet on three points!
After nearly four games, Blatt has a very clear understanding of the strength of the two teams. In the regular lineup, you take one turn and I take one turn. The Cavaliers may not have a chance to catch up with the score until the end of the game.
Blatt knew very well that as long as the Trail Blazers failed to score for one or two rounds, Zhou Si would definitely come out to stabilize the situation, and their team, just like their opponent against James, did not dare to double-team!
These are the two forwards who are the best at passing the ball!
To win the battle at Tianwang Mountain, Coach Bratt knew there was no other way but to bet on three points!
Why can the Warriors achieve such a good record, and why can the Trail Blazers often slaughter their opponents?
It’s not because their three-pointers are good enough!
Coincidentally, their Cavaliers' three-pointer was not bad either!
The game continued. As soon as the fourth quarter started, Irving singled out Lillard and hit a three-pointer.
In the next round, JR Smith also hit a three-pointer from James!
For no reason, it rained three-pointers on the Cavaliers!
Moreover, as an offensive master, when the Cavaliers shot a three-pointer to open up the Trail Blazers' defense, Blatt was still on the sidelines reminding his players to shoot mid-range shots and cut through to kill!
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the score was tied to 93:98!
Although it is still 5 points behind, this score is no longer so out of reach!
Blatter made the right bet!
God has not abandoned them!
Chapter completed!
