Chapter 448 Home and away games are the same
The Cavaliers suffered another injury. After the Nuggets won two home courts, the outside world's reputation was almost one-sided.
Espn also said that the current strength of the Cavaliers is far behind the Nuggets, and the chances of the Nuggets defending their title are already 99%, and it is even possible to sweep the Cavaliers.
The voices of the online Knight supporters have also become much smaller, and Olivia has been very happy these two days.
However, some people think that the Nuggets won't be able to win. If the Knights hadn't suffered injuries, they would be the stronger side.
Of course, this kind of voice is quite niche. After all, the Cavaliers' regular season record is not as good as the Heat last season.
"What do they know? I have predicted the Nuggets' victory long ago, with a 4:0 sweep, and there is no problem." Olivia looked as if others didn't understand the ball, and was proud.
"The game has not been finished yet. In order for you to avoid being slapped in the face, I have to work harder, but I can't guarantee this kind of thing." Xiang Chu couldn't help but say.
"You have to make sure, just let it!" Olivia adjusted to an unreasonable pattern, "Son, do you think so?"
My wife is looking for help, Xiang Chu must surrender, and she stayed with them for some time before going away.
Denver is not far or near to Cleveland, but it is still a shorter journey than Miami.
"I think we can build a dynasty. I asked everyone, and everyone will basically stay." Farid couldn't help but be excited.
"Take the game down first." Xiang Chu replied softly.
It is certainly impossible for everyone to stay, but Xiang Chu is still optimistic about the team's future.
"Yeah, don't worry, we won't take it lightly, we will definitely win the game."
Xiang Chu was more calm, but he also felt that the game was basically stable, and the Cavaliers' lineup was too damaged now.
On the road, the two teams only adjusted for one day, which is beneficial to the Nuggets, but it is a bit tired, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the excitement during the finals.
Playing away games with the Nuggets is just a simple suitability training, and all physical strength must be kept on the court.
This is the case during the regular season, so to improve quickly, players must add some materials themselves.
Irving cannot play, but the Cavaliers are still Matthew Delavidova starts.
In this lineup, the Nuggets don’t need to predict at all, they all know what the opponent’s tactics will be like.
Without Irving, James had to attack and organize his attack. When JR didn't play, all the balls were in the hands of James, and the Nuggets' defense was also targeted.
For single-core teams, no matter how powerful the star's combat effectiveness is, they are easily targeted.
Xiang Chu is also prone to being targeted, but his teammates are much better, and there are several of them with a quasi-All-star team.
Moreover, Xiang Chu does not need to hold the ball as an inside line, so it is not that easy to deal with if he wants to target it.
Back at home, the Cavaliers looked very motivated, but in fact their efficiency was not higher than away games.
James' shooting is not that good either, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for Mozgov to defend Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu has played a lot of mock competitions these days, and basically he will react as soon as he gets the ball. Mozgov is like a big wooden stake in front of him, but he still can't hit his big wooden stake.
The Knights had no choice, and they even tried to use Perkins.
Perkins was claimed by the Cavaliers in the middle of the season, and they signed Perkins, who was not very useful in normal times.
Now is a special moment. Speaking of which, Perkins also has experience in defending Xiang Chu.
If Perkins hadn't been in a bad state now, the Cavaliers would have tried it in the first two games. Now they are doing it as a dead horse.
However, Perkins is really not able to use it now, and it is not a threat to Xiang Chu at all.
After only three minutes of trial, Blatt chose to substitute, and would rather play in a small lineup with Thompson.
The Cavaliers now adopt flexible tactics and use whatever lineup is good.
But there are not many people and there are only so many changes, so James still needs to stand up.
James wanted to motivate his teammates before, after all, he scored crazy points in the first two games but still lost.
Now it seems that if he doesn't score crazily, the team will lose faster.
In the second quarter, James showed his strength and forced himself to eat in the middle distance.
The Nuggets Middleton, Garinali, Amino, and Dudley took turns to spend money. On the surface, no one could pose a threat to James, but the Nuggets believed that James was not a tough fight.
Xiang Chu will be tired if he has plug-ins. James' consumption is greater than Xiang Chu. Even if he can't get tired of running, he will be able to reduce the hit rate by 10% or 20% of the Nuggets, and he will definitely win.
James was also a little depressed. Xiang Chu was in the inside, so he couldn't play as he pleased.
Moreover, the Nuggets' consumption tactics are not constant. When James feels good, the Nuggets will attack for a few minutes, disrupting the opponent's rhythm.
At the end of the first half, James once again won the most gorgeous data on the court, but the team was behind again.
This makes people feel powerless. I thought it would be better to go back to home, but there is a gap in strength between the two teams.
"Everyone did a good job, that's the rhythm." When she returned to the locker room, Xiang Chu encouraged her teammates.
Although the game process has changed slightly, the situation is actually similar at halftime.
The Knights' current personnel tactics have changed too little, and as long as the Nuggets do not have any problems, they will gain an advantage.
James is indeed outstanding, which is the main reason why they didn't lead much in the first half.
But as long as this momentum is maintained, the Nuggets can grind the other party to death again.
In the Knight's locker room, Blatt quickly draws tactics on the tactical board.
As an academic coach, he has many routines, but I don’t know whether he can perform well.
Three-pointers are the weapon the Cavaliers have always relied on, but this series has not been played out.
Even outsiders can see that they want to turn the tables, and the outside line must be opened.
The key now is how to drive. James' breakthrough pass is easy to use, but the Nuggets will not give them a chance easily.
Blatt knows at least a hundred ways to get a three-pointer chance, but now he only hopes that one or two can help the team.
"We have to keep running and pulling, and we can't just stand in the inside. If we can score some good goals in the inside, Xiang Chu will also have some concerns when assisting in defense."
Blatt asked James to move with purpose when he moved. Xiang Chu's assisting defense range was large, which sometimes also meant that there was a gap behind him.
As soon as the third quarter came, James and Thompson cooperated. James sent the ball into the inside and let Thompson dunk.
Although this requires a lot of things to passers, James has this method.
But before they were happy, they found that Xiang Chu reacted faster than they thought. James broke through and jumped in and passed the ball, which was not that easy to use.
