The Nuggets' training is very basic because their strategy has not changed.

I don’t know if the Knights have changed or not. What they have to do is target the Big Three Knights.

The other party can also target Xiang Chu, but whether it can be targeted depends on their respective abilities.

The second match between the Nuggets and the Cavaliers is ready to begin. Even if the fans talk all kinds of things, they are still very concerned about the final victory or defeat of the season.

The Cavaliers did not change their playing style, but their defense became even harder.

The fastest defensive rotation can also be filled in as soon as possible after double-teaming.

Perhaps it was because the defensive end consumed too much energy, and the Cavaliers' defense was much worse in this regard.

It may also be a matter of choice, because the Cavaliers chose to attack the inside line, and they wanted to defeat Xiang Chu.

Five big hats in a single quarter are Xiang Chu's response, three of which were James, and the opponent only received one foul from him, and the Cavaliers suffered a huge loss.

In fact, it cannot be said that the Cavaliers are wrong. There are fewer and fewer teams choosing to challenge Xiang Chu now. It is a memory of his being sent off for a long time, but the Cavaliers are qualified to challenge.

Most teams will not attack Xiang Chu, so they also bet wrongly, Xiang Chu is really strong in this regard.

Relying on defense, the Cavaliers did not fall much behind, and they also took advantage of the rotation to change their strategies.

But after this, they lost confidence on the offensive end, mainly role players.

James could only take on the task of scoring. He was miserable in the first quarter, but as a top player in the league, he knew how to adjust. Even if he didn't hit the basket, he was one of the strongest players.

Moreover, James has played for a longer time and basically does not plan to rest.

The Knights also prepared several plans and made multiple plans, and they also understood that they were the weaker side.

The weak side has to fight if they want to win. Now it seems that they have gotten the wrong direction.

James scored in double digits in the second quarter, and his mid-range shooting percentage increased, but the Cavaliers' overall offense was not good.

The Nuggets are different. When the Cavaliers change, the defense is a little confused. If they try harder and too much rhythm, there will naturally be problems. So in addition to Xiang Chu's inside score, Garlinari and Middleton also scored on the outside.

As soon as the Nuggets opened inside and outside, the Cavaliers could only watch the score gap between the two sides reach double digits again.

James wants to hit someone, and it is really not easy for him to score now. He has to worry about Xiang Chu's assisting defense when he is not in the ball, and how can the Nuggets' offense seem so easy?

The Cavaliers are still a team that is good at defending the outside line. They really shouldn't have problems with their defense in the second quarter.

However, the situation happened, and the Nuggets seized the opportunity and the defending champion was well-known.

The normal style of playing in the first quarter failed, and the second quarter failed to take over the game. During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room was not very good.

"You must understand that you exist for the championship. I never doubt that you will win." Tyron Lu said sincerely.

At this time, he could only encourage the players. Tactics and other things had been formulated long ago. The Nuggets did not have any means to win unexpectedly. Their playing style was simple and crude. The Cavaliers did not need to change in the second half, but they had to play better.

However, things went against my expectations. It was great that the Nuggets limited the three-pointers. The Cavaliers' three-pointers mainly rely on breakthroughs to pass the ball, which is still a bit worse than the Warriors.

James hesitated again in the third quarter, and in retrospect, the score gap has widened a lot.

Xiang Chu's lethality, Xiang Chu's defensive deterrence, and the Nuggets' attacking strength, these combined together will lead to the Cavaliers' defeat.

After two straightforward wins, the audience at Pepsi Center shouted the sweeping slogan. The Knights didn't want to say anything when facing the reporters. They were in a bad mood.

George Carl started a happy match again, saying: "To be honest, I was surprised by the gap in the score today. But this has happened, and the Nuggets have the ability to seize such an opportunity."

"Xiang Chu did everything he could do for us. He will always be one of the most important players in our team, and he led the team to play an amazing game."

"To be able to win tonight, I can say that our defense today is the key to everything we do."

“We got our job done, we won two home games. There is still a long way to go to win the series, and we can’t celebrate it yet.”

If you can't celebrate, it's true. The more excited you are, the more you should be calm until you win the final victory. Otherwise, you will regret it if you fail.

However, even if Xiang Chu is very calm, not everyone in the team can do it.

g3, home and away game swaps, is also the most likely game to be overturned.

Back at home, the Cavaliers started with a bit aggressive and their style of play was still the same, but they increased Irving's weight because Irving felt very hot at the beginning, and I don't know whether it was the tactical arrangement or his feel.

The Nuggets quickly replaced Jeremy Lin, but the result did not change at all.

Irving is a player with strong singles, but generally his efficiency is not particularly high. After this kind of player feels, he is still more threatening than the crazy sixth man.

By the time the Nuggets' defense adjusted, Irving had scored 16 points, helping the Cavaliers lead the double digits in a single quarter.

The score leads, the Cavaliers did not expand their rotation, so they were very cautious.

However, after the Nuggets targeted Irving more, the score was still slowly chasing back.

At the end of the first half, the gap between the two sides narrowed to single digits again.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets' defense continued the restrictions on Irving and did not give him a good singles chance.

Irving solved this problem, but a player like James, who has rich experience in the playoffs, knows how to do it, and he explodes in time.

In addition, jr also exploded at the same time, expanding his lead to double digits again.

This is a bit difficult to do, and the Nuggets can only work harder with hope.

The Nuggets have a great advantage in rebounding, and their efforts will definitely be effective. The Cavaliers have also put in 120% of their efforts.

Finally, with James' all-out efforts, the Cavaliers defended the victory, and the series became 1:2.

Tyron Lu became very tough after the game, saying, "The reason for victory is two words: physical confrontation and aggressiveness, we must play like this."

George Carl was a little angry, "Losing the game is not because there is a problem with our lineup arrangement, nor is it because of the rotation method. We are just being beaten up."

"We are not tough enough, we are not tough enough about the ball, we play very softly."
