Winter, in addition to the snow, is also the peak of injuries for players. If you don't warm up enough at low temperatures, you can do some over-wear and tear movements, which is very easy to get injured.

The excited Lillard originally wanted to maintain his condition through good training so that he could play at a level against Irving. Now, however, this duel has ended before it has even begun.

After being admitted to the hospital, doctors diagnosed Lillard with only a mild sprain and that he could return to normal after three or four days of rest. The injury was not serious, which was already a great blessing in misfortune. But tomorrow's game against the Cavaliers won't be so rosy for the Trail Blazers.

"Rest well, don't think about anything. There's still a long season to go, and there's still a lot to use for you. Rickard kept comforting Lillard, but he was actually very anxious himself.

Lillard's absence from the knife is a big blow to the Trail Blazers. And in the position of No. 1, only old Miller can come up at present. Anjie's teammate when he was with the Thunder, Earl. Watson's form is no longer fit for such an important game, and Ricard must not gamble with Watson in such an important game.

While you have to comfort your players, you have to worry about yourself. Rickard is really cornered now, there is no way, but he has to face it.

At a time when online media is extremely developed, the news of Lillard's injury spread around the world two hours after Angel and his arrival at the hospital.

People didn't expect that at noon in this cold winter, such a powerful news would suddenly pop up. Although the Trail Blazers are Anjie's team, Lillard's role in it should not be underestimated. With Lillard out of tomorrow's game, the Trail Blazers' fighting power will definitely be greatly reduced.

Now, the Cleveland fans can cheer. While they may not necessarily be the winners, their chances of winning have undoubtedly been made bigger by Lillard's injury.

After Lillard calmed down, Anjie and Rickard also quickly returned to the training court. The game starts tomorrow, but now their main point guard is unavailable. A lot of tactical and training things have to be adjusted accordingly. For example, Ricard's constant emphasis on quick counter-attacks cannot continue to do so now.

Miller Sr. is 38 years old, and there's no way he's going to be on the court like Lillard. And this guy can't play 34 minutes a game like Lillard does. The difficulties in front of the Trail Blazers are one after another, and I have to say that this time, James is really lucky.

※※※

With trepidation, Portland fans lined up in long lines and prepared to enter. At this time, players from both the Trail Blazers and Cavaliers had already warmed up. James, Irving and Love all looked particularly focused during the warm-up, and it seems that the three new giants are not going to let go of this opportunity to make a name for themselves.

On the podium, the most talked about was Lillard's injury. After all, this unexpected factor has affected the game that has not yet started.

When the starting five of the two sides stepped onto the court to prepare for the game, the cameramen's shots were fixed on the face of Miller Sr. No one knows what Miller Sr. will look like when he starts, and how well this guy performs will directly affect the outcome of the game.

That's it, the 38-year-old "old" Andrei. Miller was once again the starter, and he was fully focused on taking the basketball from Anjie.

"Brazilian Actor" Anderson. Valle Chomo punched, Lillard was not there, and even the Brazilians were confident in this match!

The referee blew the whistle, and the orange basketball flew straight up. Immediately after, Angel and Vallejo both jumped up. However, Anjie's obvious height advantage still allowed him to win the first striker for the Trail Blazers.

Miller Sr. advanced with the ball, and it looked like the guy was still playing calmly.

Owen's defense Old Miller is not afraid, that kid is attacking and defending, and Owen is a complete layman.

So old Miller didn't hesitate and reached out to call a block.

Aldridge deservedly mentioned the high position, the old Miller saw the opportunity to start, and the attack was officially launched.

Miller, who had successfully cleared Owen through the pick-and-roll, began to look for his intended target, and Angel currently had Vallejo behind him, and it looked like he was about to get into position.

Miller didn't hesitate and took advantage of the opportunity to hit the ground and pass. However, the basketball did not fly to An Jie's hands as he wished before, the basketball had just bounced off the floor, and a gust of wind hung on Old Miller's cheeks, and the basketball was also blown away!

"Kelly. Irving! Incredible steal! A second ago, this guy was still entangled with Aldridge, but now, he is running all the way with the ball, ready to complete this fast break! "Accompanied by Mike. Brin shouted in surprise as Irving crossed the court and completed a powerful one-handed slam before all the Trail Blazers players could make up their defenses!

"Well done!" After Irving's goal, James rushed up and touched the young defender's head. A teammate who is more energetic and impactful than Wade makes James love it!

"My fault, my fault, too careless!" Instead of shirking responsibility, Miller Sr. raised his hand to admit his mistake. It was only the first goal, and Owen caused problems for Miller Sr. It looks like Miller is going to have a very tough game today.

In the next few rounds, the two sides attacked and defended each other. The Cavaliers' offense is indeed better than the Heat's, and James' two new teammates are doing very well.

When the score became 12-8, An Jie glanced at the bench. Rickard, who was four points behind, did not say anything and signaled for the game to continue.

An Jie clapped his hands, and the Trail Blazers players immediately ran towards the opposing half.

Anjie and Vallejo engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat, you know, the Brazilian may have more small movements than Anjie, so Anjie has to be very hard.

Just when the Trail Blazers No. 00 finally occupied a favorable position and was about to raise his hand to ask for the ball, the situation on the court changed again!

In an instant, the Trail Blazers, who were originally on the offense, once again became the defender. And the person who is at the forefront of the Cavaliers is still Kelly. Irving!

Irving had already predicted his passing route before he made contact with Miller Sr. It seems that before this game starts, Irving must have done his homework. Under what circumstances Miller would probably pass the ball, Irving has now studied it clearly.

Fighting with Owen before, An Jie felt that this kid had some aura at most. But now, when Irving became a member of James' legion, Anjie really realized how terrible this young guard was.

The experienced Miller Sr. was broken twice by Irving, and Irving also seized the opportunity of these two fast breaks.

"Kelly. Owen's performance was really outstanding! He caused big problems for the Trail Blazers. Miller can't play against these new-age players based on experience alone. "Mike. Brin shouted in disbelief, you know, in the Moda Center, there are very few people who can steal the limelight from Anjie. But today, Owen did.

For several minutes on end, Owen locked Miller Sr. to death. And his offense usually makes Miller unable to deal with it. Ricard is already anxious because the Trail Blazers can't find a good No. 1 player on the bench.

"Conténi! You go up and take Miller's place. Tell everyone and let Iguodala keep the ball! "There's no way around, Rickard has to repeat the same trick and put Iguodala as a point forward.

A foul by Aldridge on LeFou sent the game to a dead ball. Lee jumped onto the pitch and conveyed Riccard's setup to everyone.

In the first two rounds, the Cavaliers, who didn't slow down, really let Iguodala pass a few good balls. But when James knew what was going on, he began to put more effort into defense. Since then, the Trail Blazers' offense has once again become a mess.

As the clock ticked by, the two sides quickly took over the game with their rotating lineups. And in the second lineup of the Trail Blazers, there is no one who can control the ball.

Nicholas. Batum's passing ability is very good, but passing the ball well does not mean that the organization is good. Batum was able to deliver that kind of brilliant pass, but he couldn't sustain it.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers, although Australian guard Dlavedova is not a master of organization, he can sort out the Cavaliers' offense in an orderly manner.

In this way, the Trail Blazers, who were in a mess, were actually chased and beaten. At the end of the first quarter, James swung his fist hard. Playing against the Trail Blazers has never been more enjoyable than today!

34-26, Cleveland, who had a poor record, actually led the Trail Blazers by eight points at the Moda Center! The second quarter of the game will be the Cavaliers' first attack, and if they can take that opportunity, the margin will be stretched to double digits in an instant.

Irving's 10-point and 3-steal performance in the first quarter of the game was undoubtedly the biggest reason why the Cavaliers were able to take the lead. Lillard was injured, and the Trail Blazers really couldn't resist Irving's onslaught at the No. 1 spot.

After the players were out of the game, Riccard didn't say anything for a long time. He knew that Lillard's absence would cause a lot of difficulties for the team, but he didn't expect it to have such a big impact.

Just when Rickard was at a loss, Anjie suddenly stood up from the bench.

"Give me the ball and I'll take care of the team's attack." An Jie stood in the middle of the crowd and said firmly.

Everyone looked up at him, even Ricard.

"It can't be helped, our offense was too chaotic in the first quarter. I know the Cavaliers aren't an average team, but I want to try to take over the game. An Jie looked at Ricard, who immediately picked up the tactical board and began to draw tactics with An Jie as the offensive core.

James looked at the Trail Blazers' bench on the other side of the court, when Angel and Ricard were surrounded by everyone in the middle. Although it was the Cavaliers who were leading at this time, James was still a little worried. God knows what the hell those two guys can come up with.

"LeBron, are you listening?" Cavaliers coach David. Blatter's shout brought James' thoughts back.

"Well, I know, give Kelly more space and continue to storm the other party's vacancy." James repeated the head coach's words verbatim, and while he was watching the Trail Blazers' every move, that didn't mean he was completely distracted.

"Very good, everyone played well in the first quarter, keep up the good work and let's go home with the win!" Blatter shook his fist, and the Cavaliers roared in unison.

An electronic beep sounded, and the second quarter of the game between the two sides was about to begin. Anjie stepped onto the pitch and looked confident. It's as if it's not himself who is lagging behind now, but the Cavaliers.

"Are you ready, LeBron, you're in trouble!" An Jie said to himself in his heart, he promised to help Lillard take the city, and he must not break his word!

Take over the game, starting in the second quarter......
