The game began, and Adams took the lead in the jump ball, and the ball flew into Westbrook's hands, and the Thunder started the first attack of the game.

The Thunder's starting line revolves entirely around a two-man rotation of Durant and Westbrook, which has proven to be a very powerful pairing.

In the opening game, Durant came out of the baseline, received Westbrook's pass, and made a mid-range pull-up jump shot, but failed to hit.

J.R. Smith got the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Paul George.

Since the start of the new season, George and James have become more and more proficient together.

George spent the summer practicing his shooting to improve his three-point prowess.

Playing next to James, you can't shoot three-pointers from the outside, then you're almost useless.

George passes the ball to J.R. Smith in the high post, and Smith catches the ball and lays a left-handed layup!

As a result, Roberson interfered from behind, missed the layup, and it was still the Thunder's possession.

Robertson's long-arm jamming ability is really very strong.

The first thing any team facing the Thunder will have to think about is how to deal with their superior physical gifts.

Collison in the fourth position may be the only point that can be targeted.

Westbrook got the backcourt rebound and pushed the fast break directly!

In Li Liang's absence, Westbrook has always put himself as a striker.

One ride is a thousand, and you can smash the Yellow Dragon!

All the way to the top of Dellavedova, layup!

Didn't make ......

Dellavedova stopped Westbrook with the ball and kept interfering with him, causing Westbrook to use most of his power on the top defender and finally went soft on the layup.

In the end, the ball was touched off the line and the ball was given to the Cavaliers.

Li Liang shook his head on the sidelines and said, "He doesn't know the emergency stop jump shot?" Do you have to rush it yourself? ”

Donovan said: "His speed has already risen, he can't stop urgently, and his knees can't stand it...... Not everyone is as good at timing emergency stops as you are. ”

Donovan explained, and at the same time quietly patted Li Liang's ass.

Mike Brown needs to feel the crisis, this Donovan, as a college coach, has not been a long time after he became the head coach of the NBA, and he has already filmed a good picture, which is really a material that can be made.

Then, Mozgov missed a single shot in the low post under the basket, and he repeatedly turned in circles, but he still couldn't get around Adams' defense, and the hook came to a three-pointer.

This time, Westbrook did not rush to counterattack and stabilized to attack the position.

After passing the ball a few times from the outside, he gave Durant who came out of the high pocket, and Durant received the ball and made a quick three-point shot and hit the first goal of the game!

The task of defending Durant falls on the shoulders of Paul George, and George follows the ball very tightly and in place, but Durant just throws it directly on your shot, and the advantage of height and arm span is indeed too great.

Mike Brown saw the goal, applauded, and said to Li Liang, who was sitting next to him: "I have the feeling of your three-point shot." ”

Li Liang sat on the bench, Brown on the left and Donovan on the right, ask questions if you have questions, say things if you have them, and follow up if you have sycophants.

James didn't touch the ball for the first two rounds, and after Durant hit a three-pointer, James finally got the ball and started to attack.

When his teammates didn't have a chance, he continued to dribble under his crotch to adjust, and in the face of Durant's defense, he forced a three-point shot on the right side, and he also hit!

James shoots three-pointers differently than Durant, Durant can come out, don't dribble, catch the ball and throw it directly, and the shooting rate is quite high.

James doesn't have this ability, he has to dribble to change and adjust the rhythm, and then shoot, and the shooting rate is guaranteed.

Either way, the result was the same, with each side scoring their first goal.

Durant does have a unique advantage in scoring, and his basketball skills and talent are born to score.

James scored a three-pointer on his head, and Durant immediately carried the ball to the basket, causing Mozgov to foul and go to the free throw line.

Hit both free throws.

The pressure on the Cavaliers is considerable.

Head coach Blatter prepared carefully before the game, knowing that Li Liang was a substitute, the Thunder's lineup was almost all-weather and had strong oppressive force.

Durant and Westbrook don't need to stay at all when they start, and it's OK to attack with all their might from the start.

And if the Cavaliers want to win the game, they must establish a sufficient advantage in front, and then the second team will not die too badly in the face of Li Liang.

In this way, there is still a game to play, which is the basic consensus of the teams at present.

Then the rotation will have to be tighter, and James' playing time will definitely be extended.

The Thunder's subsequent defense almost forced the Cavaliers to 24 seconds, but JR-Smith forced a three-point shot from beyond the three-point line in the final moment, and the Cavaliers overtook the Thunder by one point 6:5.

Then, the Thunder made a pass error on offense, and Paul George fell to the ground to save the ball, snatched the ball and gave it to Dellavedova.

James rushed to the basket, Dellavedova threw a long pass, James relayed in the air, and slammed the dunk with both hands!

The Quick Loan Center came to the first climax after the start of the game, and the Cavaliers were indeed in high spirits tonight.

Against the league's No. 1 Thunder team, the Cavaliers are eager to win this victory and further cement their position in the first place in the East.

James lost to Li Liang in the playoffs for three consecutive years, which is really miserable.

And this year, Li Liang has taken such a difficult road again, even if the Cavaliers reach the finals, if they face the Thunder, it is estimated that they will still be more than lucky.

But James still didn't want to give up, it was a mule or a horse, pulling it out and slipping.

In the summer, James took his three-point shooting up to the next level, spending a lot of time solidifying his touch.

James' three-point shooting has been quite consistent this season and has become an important means of scoring.

Of course, before challenging Li Liang, the Cavaliers still have to deal with Westbrook and Durant first.

Westbrook immediately hit a Zombie jumper after a pick-and-roll, 8-7, a one-point difference.

After that, Mozgov and Adams each squandered an offensive opportunity and missed catches and layups under the basket.

James got the backcourt rebound, after dribbling over half the court, facing Durant's defense, continuous crotch dribbling, after adjusting the feeling, the left side of the 45-degree three-point dry pull, and then hit!

James hit his second three-pointer to score eight straight points.

After the goal, when passing through the Thunder bench, James said to Li Liang: "How is my three-point shooting, Super Sixth Man?" ”

James is provoking Li Liang, for Li Liang's summer switch to the Thunder, James is a hundred "dissatisfied".

He said on several occasions, "I think it's an act of evasion, and it's not a good thing for the competition of the whole league." ”

Li Liang, of course, fought back via Twitter, using only an old Chinese saying, "The one who started it, there is no afterthought." ”

The relationship between the two off the court is still very good, but with James losing year after year on the court, the mentality is a bit explosive.

In the face of James's provocation, Li Liang picked his nose and didn't say anything.

Li Liang's idea is that if I ignore him now, I will lose.

Defeated by my men three times, what else is there to say.

I was on the bench because I wanted to play with the best sixth man.

More than halfway through the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Thunder by three points at 15-12, and the two sides went into an official timeout.

Both sides played very smoothly, the attack was very concise and neat, and it was obvious that the players were quite well prepared.

At the end of the timeout, Li Liang still sat on the bench and waited for the opportunity to play.

Sitting on the bench is a very abrasive thing, especially for a player like Li Liang.

In the past, when he first entered the NBA, he couldn't sit still when it came to the game, and the hair dryer was almost entirely used on Mike Brown's face during that time.

Blowing Mike Brown's head is black and shiny.

Now with his coffee position, his ass can sit like this, maybe it has more to do with reciting scriptures on weekdays.

James played more ferociously after the timeout, and he knew that he couldn't keep his strength, and if he did, you might not have a chance to exert his strength later.

After he broke through the middle, he gave the ball to George on the flank, and George received the ball and shot a three-point shot, and hit!

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers had already made four three-pointers.

The TV cameras kept showing Kyrie Irving sitting on the sidelines watching the game, and if Irving was there, the game would have been more intense.

Immediately after, James successfully interfered with Durant's step-back jumper in defense, and the Cavaliers quickly counterattacked.

After Dellavedova received a pass from James, he broke through with a small throw, and Westbrook fanned out a big hat!

As a result, the ball interfered with the ball.

Li Liang was a little tired when he saw it, and stabbed Donovan and said, "Billy, if you can't stand it, let me play." ”

Donovan was quite arrogant, "No, I can watch for a while, you wait." ”

Li Liang had no choice but to wait, he was thinking in his heart, how to play with the second team later.
