Chang Tiancheng was not affected by the atmosphere of the Cavaliers' home court, he took the serve from Keldon, and his mind was already thinking about how to break down the defense of the Cavaliers' two interior players.

These two interior players, one is good at protecting the frame and the other is good at helping defense, and the combination can be said to be seamless.

"It looks like we're going to have to give up on the idea of scoring inside for the time being. Chang Tiancheng thought in his heart, "As a big center, as long as we can raise the speed, he will naturally not be able to continue to stay on the field." Chang

Tiancheng faced Garland's defense, this time he didn't choose to call his two inside lines to block and dismantle, but signaled them to open up the inside space for himself, and it can be seen that he is going to play alone.

Garland naturally understood Chang Tiancheng's thoughts, so he filled his attention, although he also knew in his heart that he would probably not be able to prevent Chang Tiancheng, but if he was allowed to score too easily, then his team would probably experience a storm of bombardment.

But Chang Tiancheng didn't do what he wanted, after doing two crotch dribbles seemingly casually, Chang Tiancheng directly used a step back to widen the distance between himself and Garland, standing two meters away from the three-point line, and directly shot a three-point shot.

Marksman, triggered.

With the prompt of the system, the basketball entered the basket steadily, 6:6, Chang Tiancheng equalized the score with only one attack.

And after the audience saw this scene, they also sat down one after another. Since Mitchell's opening dunk, they have been standing and cheering for the team, hoping that the team can use this momentum to directly complete a wave of offensive climax. But after Chang Tiancheng scored this three-pointer, they understood that in this game, it was not easy for either side to open up the score gap.

Garland saw that the audience was seated, so he was not in a hurry to launch a fast attack, and simply slowed down the rhythm. As a playmaker, he is very good at analysing the situation on the field.

The outside line formed by himself and Mitchell may not have any advantage over Chang Tiancheng, but his own inside line has a huge advantage, and two long people against two short inside lines with a height of less than 208 cm are a very simple multiple-choice question.

Thinking of this, Garland flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Mobley on the inside. Keldon, who was responsible for defending Mobley, immediately lowered his center of gravity, hoping to withstand Mobley's back-to-back singles.

But Mobley wasn't a rough guy on the offensive end, and when he found it difficult to finish with his low back, he simply turned around and unleashed a rollover jumper. The basketball flew over Keldon's head and into the hoop steadily.

Chang Tiancheng dribbled the ball, and after coming to the three-point line in the half, he continued to use the step-back step to deal with Garland's defense. Although Garland has defended very well, with the blessing of the marksman's skills, Chang Tiancheng's three-point shot is almost impossible to miss.

8:9, the momentum on the Cavaliers' side was high, but in the score, it was the Spurs who were ahead. The coaches of both sides did not call a timeout, and seemed to be satisfied with their teams.

Garland advanced with the ball and then passed it to Mitchell. After Mitchell received the ball, in the face of Vassell's defense, he first tried to push his back to it, and then turned around a half, quickly switched to the face frame mode, and threw off half of Vassell's body, for the sake of safety, he took another step back, widening the distance between the two again, and then pulled up directly and completed a backward jumper.

Basketball continues to hit and this game has been played so far with a high percentage of shots from both sides, especially the respective stars of both teams. Chang Tiancheng scored 6 points with two three-pointers, while Mitchell also scored three goals and scored 6 points, which can be said to be-for-tat.

But for the Spurs, that's not all the good news. So far, the seven-second fast break tactics they wanted to play have not been used once. You know, in order to be able to push up the fast break, they have sacrificed their interior height, and if this tactic cannot be advanced on the offensive end, then it is easy to be broken by the opponent's double interior on the defensive end.

The reason why the Spurs are able to maintain the score now is completely relying on Chang Tiancheng's individual ability, and several other people on the court, except for McDermott, are not even in the game yet. If this continues, once Chang Tiancheng's physical exertion is too much and the shooting rate begins to decline, then the Spurs will be pulled away by a wave.

Popovich off the field naturally saw the problem, and thought about the next tactical adjustments in his heart, but now is not the time to call a timeout, after all, the game has just begun, let's take a look at the situation on the field first.

Vassell dribbled the ball past half-court and passed it directly to Chang Tiancheng, and then ran quickly to the bottom corner, and it seemed that he did not have the confidence to complete the attack against Mitchell.

Chang Tiancheng didn't say anything after seeing his reaction, so let's take the ball and do it yourself. So he continued to hold the ball and lower his center of gravity. And Garland finally couldn't bear it, he no longer kept a certain distance from Chang Tiancheng, but the whole person directly pasted it, and the meaning was very clear: If you want to break through, break through, don't shoot three points again.

Of course, Garland has his own logic in doing this. Judging from the current situation, Chang Tiancheng feels hot, if he continues to shoot three points, even if his side can score two points steadily, the score will still be pulled away in the end. It's better to let Chang Tiancheng break through, anyway, there are two inside defenders on his side, and he won't be so easy to score even if he enters the penalty area.

Chang Tiancheng naturally understood the other party's thoughts, so he planned and left Garland behind with one acceleration, but he soon found that the other party's Mitchell and LeVert would not consider coming over to help defend themselves, the purpose was to block Chang Tiancheng's contact with his teammates.

Of course, the price of this is to put all the defensive pressure on your own home's interior. But the Cavaliers' two interior lines are defensive masters, even if they don't rely on the help of the front line, they can complete their defensive tasks very well.

The moment Chang Tiancheng burst into the box, Mobley was already staring at him, trying to find a suitable moment to complete the block.

But Chang Tiancheng did not continue to break through to the inside line, and after relying on his body to perceive Garland's position, Chang Tiancheng completed a jump step directly to the side and back, and then made a mid-range shot.

This shot didn't trigger the marksman, but the basketball still bounced twice on the basket and fell into the basket.
