Chapter 344 New Knight
The Cavaliers are in the running-in stage, and the players' performance is not stable enough.
In the second quarter, the Cavaliers did not take the lead for long after taking the lead and were caught up by the Nuggets.
James also changed his offensive style, from organization-oriented to scoring-oriented.
The Nuggets tried to let the new aid Amino defend James, and the effect was pretty good, but Amino never felt strong on the offensive end, but for his salary, it was already very good to be able to top off the defensive end.
The Nuggets don’t have too standard number four positions now, so a forward player like him who can be quadruple and meets the team’s requirements. It’s okay to be offensive, and just plug and play on the defensive end.
With such a player, Middleton and Garlinari can focus on the offense at some point.
In fact, Gallinari played well in this quarter, and both sides also had come and go.
At the last moment of the second quarter, James scored a three-pointer with his personal ability, and the two teams entered the halftime break with a score of 56:56.
The Knights' attack power this season is much stronger, so naturally they cannot be viewed with old eyes.
During the halftime break, the Nuggets also emphasized defense.
In fact, there are references to the defensive Cavaliers. Although they are different from the Heat, the system has similarities. Xiang Chu is helping to defend and break through, while others block three-pointers on the outside are also adapted to the Cavaliers.
Xiang Chu actually doesn't need to worry when he is on the court. This knight is still running in and his efficiency is not very high.
But they are younger than the Heat, and several young men can play with the ball.
After the Nuggets enter the rotation, they must be cautious and cautious, so that they cannot make the opponent's fight profusely.
After playing in the third quarter, the Nuggets strengthened their physical confrontation with the cheers of fans.
There were also changes on the Cavaliers, and Irving returned to normal after performing poorly in the first half.
Irving's problem feels that it is the ball rights issue. He has not adapted to James' arrival, but if the team gives him a chance to play singles, he will definitely be able to solve the problem.
In this regard, Knight is obviously not as good as Irving.
It can be said that the Cavaliers' adjustment is really good. After Irving opened this point, James and Love did not remain silent. The Cavaliers played the best team attack after the game started.
The Cavaliers' trust coach David Blatt is still something.
The Cavaliers took the lead again, but after the rotation period, things changed again.
The script of the second half happened to be completely opposite to the first half, and it was the Cavaliers' turn to score no points.
On the Nuggets' side, they tried to use Nurkic first, and Nurkic played better than Mozgov.
As a rookie, Nurkic has already posed a threat to Mozgov's status.
Witts made consecutive irons, and the Cavaliers' substitute lineup was a little confused.
Because this guy took up a lot of ball rights, he couldn't score or pass it, so the others basically could only watch.
So, the Nuggets once again overtook the score.
In this game, I am the two teams leading you for a while, you are leading me for a while.
Until the last moment, there is no way to see which team will win the game.
It was a bit helpless for the Nuggets. The opponent was a team that had many problems during the running-in period, and they could not solve it neatly.
Therefore, the talent of players in the league is very important, and the Cavaliers should be stronger in this regard.
The Cavaliers still attach great importance to the outcome of this game. Less than two minutes into the final quarter, the opponent replaced James on the court.
James scored 4 points in a row after he came on the court, but George Carl still couldn't help it and did not immediately replace Xiang Chu. As the championship coach, he always had to be a little scheming.
Thankfully, the Nuggets did not get over the attack by James, and George Carl's famous coaching posture did not get over the attack.
It took more than four minutes to go in the final quarter before Xiang Chu made his debut again.
He scored points when he came on the court, without any politeness.
Because Love is the offensive point, the Cavaliers did not let him attack Xiang Chu, but just shrank the defense, so Xiang Chu could always find opportunities.
This choice cannot be said to be a mistake. If Love can score more points, it may be more helpful to the Cavaliers than focusing on the defensive end. After all, this guy's defense is average.
The scores of the two teams are very close now, and when Xiang Chu came on the court, the Nuggets led by 1 point.
When he scored, the opponent was not idle either. The score difference fluctuated between 1 point and 1 point within a few minutes.
When we entered the last five minutes, the Cavaliers still replaced Waiters to play first, first, fourth, and this is a complete reference to the Heat mode.
But the characteristics of the two teams are still different. For example, Witts wants to play with the ball, not Ray Allen.
Love scored 4 points in a row before, but after facing Xiang Chu, he made two consecutive fouls.
His foul numbers have reached four times now. It may be fine to last the last few minutes, but there are also hidden dangers.
The Nuggets did not go to Gallinari at the fastest moment, mainly because they were afraid that he would be injured.
They chose Chandler, who is a good patch and can be played in several positions.
And he also hit CNB, not letting the coach down on his trust in him.
Soon there were only more than three minutes left, and the Cavaliers had no complicated tactics at this time, just to let the stars play singles and prepare to compete for victory.
The Nuggets were quite serious about James, Love and Irving, and at this time Witts's role was reflected, and the Cavaliers used him to beat Fournier two.
He is really useful when shooting correctly, a standard killer.
But someone needs to control his ball rights, otherwise if he plays randomly, the bigger possibility is to kill his own team.
The Cavaliers now let James control the ball. Although the two young people are a little uncomfortable, James' experience can indeed help the team.
But their lineup is only strong on the offensive end.
When the Nuggets attacked, Xiang Chu scored three consecutive rebounds, which made the Cavaliers very depressed.
At this time, the Cavaliers did make a mistake, and the Nuggets seized the opportunity to expand their lead to 5 points.
At the critical moment, the Cavaliers' newly formed Big Three still showed their abilities and big hearts.
First Irving scored in a single, and then Love got the opportunity to misalign and caused the damage.
James then also hit the score, and the game had entered the last minute. The Cavaliers once again narrowed the gap between the two teams to 1 point with their star performance.
The Nuggets chose to suspend the game. George Carl took out the tactical board and without any hesitation, he drew out three tactics to hand over the ball to Xiang Chu.
Like most teams that have this player, no one will have any objections.
After playing again, Xiang Chu mentioned the free throw line to catch the ball.
After receiving the ball, he turned to face Love and then rushed inside like a forward line.
At this moment, the Cavaliers chose to double-team, and they had long predicted the Nuggets' response.
