Chapter 315 Finals!
game day.

As night fell, the Oracle Center was filled with crowds, and the venue was already filled with golden colors. The stands, the stadium, and the lights from the ceiling were all bright yellow and majestic.

Before the game officially started, it was full of gongs and drums, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic. The atmosphere reached its climax when the Warriors entered the field.

The game officially begins.

The Cavaliers lineup is: LeBron James, Iman Shumpert, TT Thompson, Kyrie Irving, Timofey Mozgov.

The lineup sent by the Warriors is: Zhang Xin, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut, Drummond Green.

Stephen Curry finally returned to the game after more than 20 days of recuperation. When Curry played, the audience cheered and cheered. Curry waved to the fans gratefully.

Bogut and Mozgov jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the Cavaliers got the ball for the first time.

Irving passed halftime under Curry's defense. James stood at a 45-degree angle to catch the ball. Zhang Xin was facing James. The Warriors defended James best. Match James.

Originally, Cole did not intend to let Zhang Xin defend James, mainly considering the need for Zhang Xin to help the team on the offensive end, but Zhang Xin persuaded Cole on the grounds that the Warriors have more rotation players and are not afraid of being exhausted by the Cavaliers. , As long as the normal rotation can guarantee physical strength, restricting James is the key to victory.

Cole pondered for a while before agreeing. Zhang Xin was willing to take the lead in defending the opponent's strongest point. Of course, it would be better. As Zhang Xin said, the Warriors have more rotation personnel and more scoring points, so they don't necessarily need Zhang Xin. To carry the team's score.

As soon as James came up, he resolutely broke through to the inside. This should be the strategy of the Cavaliers today. As soon as he came up, he attacked the Warriors' inside. The wingspan and defensive ability are at the level of the best defensive players. He dare not expose the ball to Zhang Xin at will.

Leaning against Zhang Xin with his back on his back, James tried to advance towards the inside line step by step like a tank. At the first contact, James arched Zhang Xin twice, and his upper body shook slightly, and his lower body was firmly fixed on the ground. James was shocked: This kid His strength has increased again, and it was not at this level when he beat him last year!
James didn't carry Zhang Xin, so he could only look for an opportunity to break through. He turned around and broke through the middle. Zhang Xin confronted James with his body. The two collided fiercely. Zhang Xin fell backwards, and James couldn't control himself. James' body fell to the ground. James didn't use the ball to fight a foul, but because he lost control of his body caused by the collision with Zhang Xin's body. The collision between the two was evenly matched!
The referee's whistle sounded, but the referee didn't immediately decide who made the foul. Several referees quickly discussed and announced that it was Zhang Xin who blocked the foul, and the Oracle Center suddenly became noisy.

The big screen showed the picture of the physical contact between the two in a timely manner. James raised his elbow, but Zhang Xin explained his steps very clearly. , Many fans touched their chests with lingering fear. If they hit like this, they would have to spit out their hearts without breaking a bone.

Zhang Xin touched his chest, James' elbow was so heavy, Zhang Xin felt like he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

The fans at the Oracle Center yelled at the referee for being stupid, but the verdict has already been handed down, and the referee has no intention of changing it. This is a basketball game. The referee cannot avoid all misjudgments, but they will try to avoid them as much as possible.

The Cavaliers sent a sideline ball. James received the ball on the left wing with Zhang Xin behind his back. This time, instead of hitting Zhang Xin hard, he called TT Thompson to cover. Husband dunks!

Green dribbled the ball halfway, and Zhang Xin first helped Curry make a down screen at the elbow. Curry rushed to the top of the arc to catch the ball. On an up screen, Thompson circled to the corner and took James away.

Zhang Xin took the opportunity to hold down Shumpert and made an empty cut in the middle. Curry hit the ground and passed the ball to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin held down Shumpert for a three-step layup. Mozgov came to defend and Zhang Xin handed over. Give it to Bogut, Bogut took off and dunked!
The strategies of both sides are also very clear, and they are surprisingly consistent, which is to attack the opponent's inside line first!

Originally, the warriors in history could only grab counterattacks because they did not have such a powerful weapon like Zhang Xin, and it was difficult to attack inside. Now with Zhang Xin, the warriors have more choices.

James did not give up singles, which is the most important tactic for the Cavaliers. In the next offense, James continued to break through, but his efficiency dropped significantly under Zhang Xin's defense. However, the Cavaliers still took the lead in the first quarter.

The reason is that the Cavaliers spared no effort to grab rebounds. Mozkov and TT Thompson kept rushing to grab offensive rebounds, which brought them a lot of second-attack opportunities.

Curry, who has just come back, is in a mediocre state. He missed three-pointers in a row, but Zhang Xin still insists on feeding Curry. The shooter must be supported by the number of shots. Will go back to the Warriors side.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 34:32, and the Warriors trailed by two points.

In the second quarter, the Warriors played Zhang Xin, Andre Iguodala, Drummond Green, David Lee and Harrison Barnes.

The Cavaliers have LeBron James, JR Smith, TT Thompson, Mozgov, and Dellavedova.

The Warriors have the ball, and Zhang Xin holds the ball at the top of the arc. Seeing JR Smith defending himself, Zhang Xin signaled Green to catch the ball at the top of the arc. He ran to the low post and turned around on the right wing to block JR Smith. Xin observed the inside line of the Cavaliers, and TT Thompson was ready to come down and attack himself.

Zhang Xin smiled and turned around to break through to the bottom line. JR Smith couldn't bear Zhang Xin and was about to lose his position. TT Thompson hurriedly chased him down. Mozgov did not let go of David Lee, but stood still under the basket.

The Cavaliers' strategy is very clear, let Green attack the basket. In this case, Green really has no choice but to lay up. Green is a good passer, but the shooting rate is not high. The ball hit the iron and bounced high, and TT Thompson jumped up quickly, wanting to accept the rebound and add a stat to himself.

TT Thompson opened his hands and was about to receive the rebound when a figure rose up and pressed the ball into the basket before him. Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin made up the buckle!
The Oracle Center made a loud noise, and cheers swept over like a tsunami.

Zhang Xin turned around and smiled brightly at TT Thompson, but TT Thompson blushed.
