The Cleveland Cavaliers haven't made many trades this summer, and the championship roster remains intact. Only Mozgov and Dilavedime left the team, and Mozgov's role is not important, but Dellavedova's departure is definitely a loss for the Cavaliers' backcourt.

was able to win the championship last year, in addition to the super play of Irving and James, Dellavedova's mad dog-style defense limited Curry very well, and it was also one of the magic weapons for the Cavaliers to win the championship.

But the departure of the two did not hurt the fundamentals, and the Cavaliers' reinforcements only signed two veterans - Mike Dunleavy and James Heat's teammate "Birdman" Anderson.

The starting lineup remains the same, just like the Celtics' starting lineup.

It's just that this game, compared to the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, the Celtics' strength is much stronger. is not only Horford's strong joining, but also Thomas, who is now in hot form, and Shangguan Yu, who is stronger and more terrifying than before.

At the start of the game, the Celtics took the lead, and Horford won the jump ball.

Thomas quickly advanced to the half court with the ball, the opponent just fell into position, Horford's cover, let Thomas find a gap, pass through the two-man bag, go straight to the basket, attract the Cavaliers interior players to defend, and then hand the ball to the follow-up Horford, who was unguarded and easily dunked to score.

As the defending champions, how could the Cavaliers allow their rivals to go wild on their home court.

In retrospect, the Cavaliers' first offense was given to James, which was the Cavaliers' tactical arrangement and the Celtics' defensive strategy.

If you want the Cavaliers to lose, then you have to tire James out first. The offense lets him single, and the defense singles him. As long as James is on the court, grab him and hit this point.

Last season, the Warriors won the championship, which was this routine, which made James so tired that he couldn't play in the fourth quarter, and finally won the game easily. And last season, they took a 3-1 lead, and it was the same tactic. It's just that inside the Warriors, there are no players who are too good to single James.

Therefore, this year, the Warriors brought in Kevin Durant to target James.

In fact, now on the offensive end, the Celtics are really sure, and the one who singles out James is not. But the defenders of James, that's still there.

As soon as he got the ball, Crowder stuck like kraft candy, and not letting James make a move was just letting him go inside.

James fought hand-to-hand with Crowder for a while, found an opportunity, turned and squeezed Crowder away, drove straight from the middle, and hit the basket. Horford came to make up for it, but James was tough on the ball, and he was stunned by his defense and stuffed the ball into the basket.

It can be seen that James has a strong desire to attack, and he wants to win this game very much.

It's just that his desire to win, to be exact, his desire to score, is not as strong as it falls.

The game continued, and the Cavaliers knew that the Celtics' offensive starting point had to be Thomas. Thomas has been on such a hot streak lately that it obviously doesn't allow him to get too good a shot. Owen is alone in the defense, and there is someone to help defend at any time.

Thomas couldn't find too good opportunities, and the core of the offensive tactics that the coach is now arranging is Shangguan Yu, and he can only hand over the ball to Shangguan Yu in the high position.

Behind him was James, Shangguan Yu dribbled, pretending to squeeze in. James pressed the defense up and clung tightly. Shangguan Yu's strength confrontation did not fall behind, which surprised James.

Hit it again, and then with the rebound power of the confrontation, Shangguan Yu took advantage of the situation to move sideways and retreated, turned over and jumped to throw.

James was caught off guard and made up for it but found that he was not tall enough.

Shangguan Yu's shot was very high, James couldn't block it, and the ball crossed a beautiful arc and fell into the basket steadily, 4-2.

Back on the defensive end, the Celtics just gave James the ball and singled, and everyone else followed.

James held the ball outside the three-point line to attack, but Crowder didn't care about it, he just looked for a physical confrontation and used his strong body to consume James's physical strength.

James, who is over 30 years old, has been talking about playing healthy basketball, but he wants to go on a rampage, and Claude is simply not enough to watch.

Hit the basket like a tank, didn't put it in the first time, pulled up the dunk in the crowd, and smashed the ball into the basket.

James, who landed on the ground, posed as a gorilla, giving Claude a slap of king's contempt, which attracted a burst of cheers from the audience.

I thought that in this game, I would see the explosive performance of the strongest 175 on the surface, but I didn't expect that the protagonist was still James.

Just when everyone thought that this game would be dominated by James, Shangguan Yu suddenly stood up.

The Celtics' offense, Shangguan Yu covered Crowder, and James switched defenses with Love.

Shangguan Yu ran with James, and Shangguan Yu, who got the true pass of Ray Allen's running without the ball, not only shot more accurately than him, but also ran without the ball very well.

found an opportunity to come out, received a pass from his teammates outside the three-point line, James followed the defense a little slower, and Shangguan Yu pulled out his hand unreasonably.

Although Shangguan Yu's height and arm span are not as terrifying as Durant's, when he pulls it out, he still has a trace of backwards in the air, making James helpless. jumped with all his might, but there was no way to block Shangguan Yu's shot, the ball hollowed into the net, and Shangguan Yu hit three points, 7 to 4.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Irving wanted to play one, but in the face of the Celtics' iron-blooded defense, he broke through to no avail and handed the ball to James.

Or is it Crowder's one-on-one single defense, James thought to himself, isn't this giving himself points?

As soon as his feet accelerated, he tried to pass Claude in one step, but he didn't succeed. But James quickly adjusted, changed his direction and then accelerated, like a tank to the inside. Crowder followed, hard with his body, but James still found space to shoot and picked up the basket with his left hand to send the ball to the basket.

Just then, a large hand flew over his head and slapped the ball into the air, fanning James' shot.

Horford took the ball and handed it to Bradley, who sprinted to the basket.

The knights retreated quickly, preventing Bradley from playing a fast attack, the offense was blocked, and Bradley, who was about to reorganize, suddenly heard Shangguan Yu shouting: "Here!"

Shangguan Yu followed up to 30 degrees to the left, no one was paying attention, and Bradley handed the ball over.

JR Smith pounced for the first time, Shangguan Yu flew him at once, dribbled to the three-point line, and made a quick stop jump shot, a picturesque jump shot, a perfect arc, and the ball went into the net, 9-4.

With all three consecutive shots, the knight had to strengthen his defense against Shangguan Yu, but this couldn't stop Shangguan Yu, who felt hot.

In this quarter of the game, Shangguan Yu played more than 10 minutes, made 11 shots, hit 8 goals, and scored 19 points alone. The league's No. 1 James, as well as the strongest 175 Thomas on the surface, all overshadowed the limelight and dominated the scene.
