"Quick attack!"
With a fast kick off the baseline, the 76ers' fast break started quickly.
However, the Cavaliers returned to the defense faster. Rondo hadn't advanced to the three-point line with the ball, and the Cavaliers had already had three players return to the basket.
Rondo lost the opportunity to hit the basket with a fast break. He stopped the ball and was about to wait for his teammates to come up before organizing the offense.
Zhang Zifeng quickly stepped in from the backcourt and shouted, "Pull Jane!"
Rondo heard a pass back from his left hand, and the basketball flew quickly from behind.
Zhang Zifeng catches the ball without stopping, jumps up, and shoots immediately. JR. Smith jumps up desperately to stop it.
But the ball still passed his fingertips first.
"Shh!"
Go in, score!
Brett Brown saw that Zhang Zifeng felt very good, and when Rondo passed by, he hurriedly said: "Pass the ball to Jack more, he is in good shape!"
Rondo nodded and said: "I understand, as long as he runs out of neutral, the ball will definitely reach his hands!"
The game continues.
The core of the Cavaliers is James, and everything revolves around James.
Once James feels hot, no team can stop James' offense.
James used his physical advantage to turn and shoot in the low post.
Grant saw himself defending his opponent with all his life, and when he picked up the ball, he slammed it on the floor angrily.
Zhang Zifeng saw that Grant's mentality was a little out of balance, so he hurried over and patted his buttocks, and said, "Don't worry, I will find my way back!"
After closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Grant said, "I understand, don't worry, I'm used to it!"
Although James succeeded in attacking again and again.
However, in terms of score, the 76ers have always maintained a leading advantage.
That's because the outstanding performance of Zhang Zifeng, the ace player of the 76ers, allowed the 76ers to maintain a stronger offensive firepower than their opponents.
"Shh!"
Three-pointer!With Smith almost covering his face with his hand, Zhang Zifeng still sent the basketball steadily, scored the ball and scored.
On Zhang Zifeng's third shot of the game, the ball flew through the air from beyond the three-point line and pierced the opponent's basket.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng's hands feeling hot was frightening to death!
"The defense against Zhang Zifeng must be strengthened!" The players of the Cavaliers' basketball team quickly reached a consensus on the court.
When the 76ers' offense started again, the Cavaliers double-teamed Zhang Zifeng more closely.
Both Grant and Ibaka came out to help Zhang Zifeng do the pick-and-roll cover, and Zhang Zifeng used the screen to quickly cut to an unguarded open space.
As soon as he saw the opportunity, Rondo passed the ball immediately.
Zhang Zifeng catches the ball and jumps up to shoot.
"Shh!"
Crisp piercing sound.
Zhang Zifeng's third three-pointer in the first quarter shot through the opponent's Nets.
This time the 76ers fans were simply boiling, and the audience fans expressed their appreciation and enthusiasm with warm applause.
The fans shouted, "MVP, Zhang Zifeng! Zhang Zifeng, MVP!"
Mike Brin yelled, "A wonderful shot! JR Smith of the Cavaliers can't stop Zhang Zifeng at all. In front of Zhang Zifeng, the Cavaliers are like an defenseless team!"
Hit 3 three-pointers in a row.
After catching the ball, he shot quickly, and the basketball flew out in the blink of an eye. Zhang Zifeng's performance in this quarter can be described as very exciting.
When the 76ers basketball was passed to Zhang Zifeng for the fourth time.
"Damn it, I can't shoot him anymore!"
James rushed past the double-teaming Zhang Zifeng without hesitation.
Zhang Zifeng made a fake move, then sank down and dribbled the ball lightning-fast to break through the middle of the two and hit the inside lane.
On the inside, facing Thompson, Zhang Zifeng jumped up and made a cross in the air.
Embiid went to the basket to catch the ball, jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.
Beautiful points, wonderful passing and cutting cooperation.
Zhang Zifeng used a wonderful pass and cut cooperation to tell everyone that he is not a simple shooter.
He is a complete player!
Both sides are aggressive on the court, and the 76ers always lead their opponents by five points.
In order to completely contain Zhang Zifeng's point, the Cavaliers adopted a double-team tactic against Zhang Zifeng.
At this time, Zhang Zifeng quickly passed the ball, and then it was time for the Cavaliers to pay for their double-teaming.
At this time, Grant's hard-working three-pointer finally came into play. Grant received a pass from Zhang Zifeng in the bottom corner and hit his first three-pointer of the game.
When the double-teaming didn't work, the Cavaliers basketball team adjusted again on the court, and James went out to mark Zhang Zifeng himself.
In the playoffs last season, even if the 76ers pulled two sets in a row, the Cavaliers did not allow James to mark Zhang Zifeng.
Now it is for James to mark Zhang Zifeng.
It seems that James has finally admitted that Zhang Zifeng is the top superstar in the league, just like when James went to mark Kobe himself.
Jeff Van Gundy saw James personally marking Zhang Zifeng, and exclaimed, "The 76ers' second-year super rookie Zhang Zifeng, in terms of strength, is already on par with James of the Cavaliers!"
Mark Jackson also nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Zifeng has grown very fast. In just the second season, he has grown into a top superstar in the league. Now Zhang Zifeng has left a group of rookies far behind. He is now The ones who should be pursued are the championship and MVP!"
James' defense is much better than other players of the Cavaliers. Coupled with his physical advantage, Zhang Zifeng couldn't easily get rid of his opponent for a while.
Although Zhang Zifeng also wanted to challenge James, it was not a good thing for the team.
Seeing James marking himself, Zhang Zifeng made a lob and passed the ball to Embiid inside.
Compared with Noel, the current 76ers center Embiid has a strong offensive ability. If it is one-on-one, Love's defensive loophole can't restrain him.
The basketball was passed to Embiid, and Love was stuck behind his back. After shaking his body, Embiid turned right, jumped high, made a small hook, and threw the ball.
"Shh!"
The ball crashed into the net.
In the subsequent games, as long as James defends Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers' basketball will be sent to the inside immediately, and Embiid will attack the inside.
After Embiid succeeded in Love's two singles, the Cavaliers switched defenses, and Thompson defended Embiid.
The Cavaliers' defensive response is not incorrect. Compared with Love, Thompson's defense is much better.
The team wants to hit the championship, but relying on one player is not enough.Even Jordan, the god of basketball, has Batman Pippen and Bug Rodman by his side to help.
Once Zhang Zifeng feels bad, or is double-teamed, someone on the team must stand up and help share the responsibility.
Rondo and Ibaka are good defensively, but scoring ability is a problem.
Now the most suitable second offensive player in the 76ers is Embiid.
Seeing Thompson defending Embiid, Brett Brown was afraid that Embiid would pass the ball, so he hurriedly shouted, "Embiid, play more proactively and fiercely!"
Brett Brown hopes that Embiid can also grow up as soon as possible and become a good helper for Zhang Zifeng.
When Embiid heard it, he singled Thompson with his back, advanced into the penalty area, forcibly stuck Thompson behind him with great force, turned around and shot.
After drawing a small arc, the basketball plunged into the basket.
Seeing Embiid's continuous offensive success, Brin commented, "Zhang Zifeng's precise shooting can not only help the team score, but also tear apart the opponent's defense and create better opportunities for Embiid. The lethality inside will attract the Cavaliers' defensive power and reduce Zhang Zifeng's defensive pressure. This combination of inside and outside reminds me of the Lakers' OK combination. Although Zhang Zifeng and Embiid are not as good as O'Neal and Kobe, but as long as they continue to perform so well, they will be qualified to be compared with the OK combination!"
