April 30, for this year's Cavaliers has a profound significance, today is their first semifinal after the reorganization, to be honest, even O'Neal is a little nervous, the reason is nothing else, this year in many expert votes, the probability of the Cavaliers winning the championship is 78.3%, coupled with his confidence in the Cavaliers, in his opinion, winning the championship this year, is basically finalized.

Today's game is not like the last one, the Knicks are not so easy to deal with, the combination of the little bully and the little melon, even Scott, will not think that he will win so easily.

So today, everyone came to the stadium early to train, just to win the game smoothly.

Even if the Cavaliers have a 4-0 record, many people are not very optimistic, after all, the Celtics won 4 consecutive wins last year, but in the end they were wiped out by the Heat, and the Cavaliers won their first 4 wins, in the eyes of their opponent Knicks, but that's it.

The Knicks finally eliminated the Bulls with a score of 4:1, which does not mean that the lineup of Boozer + Rose + Noah is not perfect, it can only be said that Anthony and Xiaosi are more tough.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of the 30th, in the cheers of more than 20,000 fans at the Guiken Credit Arena, under the leadership of Garnett, the Cavaliers will slowly run into the court.

After Yuguan entered the field, it was a simple warm-up, and then in the anticipation of everyone, the game began.

The double-anti Cavaliers still maintain their previous lineup, Iverson, Huang Xiang, Jones, Garnett, and Howard.

Knicks point guard Billups, shooting guard Mason, small forward Anthony, power forward Smalls, center Badelman.

Badelman and Howard walked to the middle of the court, and the two guys jumped into the air at the same time as the referee threw the ball, but Howard still slapped the basketball to Huang Xiang with his perverted ability.

Huang Xiang then handed the basketball to Iverson, Iverson rushed through the half court with the ball and passed back to Huang Xiang, Huang Xiang rushed forward and retreated again, and then handed the basketball to Garnett on the inside with a big shake, Garnett stepped forward and jumped up to make a mid-range shot, and the basketball was thrown by him steadily across the net, through the basket, and scored.

Beautiful cooperation, Huang Xiang and others high-fived each other, D'Antoni's expression did not change at all, he had studied the Cavaliers' lineup for a long time, and he had known about this kind of attack for a long time.

"Change tactics." Throwing a gesture at Billups in the field, D'Antoni laughed hesitantly, although the Cavaliers are tough, but in any way he has defeated the Cavaliers, no matter what, he is also his former underdog. (Okay, he gave a brief overview of those two failures)

Seeing D'Antoni's gesture, Billups nodded, and then gestured to the rest of the field, changing tactics, of course, a series of orders, and such orders would not work without a good playmaker.

Billups is of course such an existence, how strong his strength is, many people know very well, his organizational ability, that is ranked first in the league.

handed the ball to Anthony on the side, who faced Huang Xiang's defense with continuous feints, and finally passed Huang Xiang with the cooperation of his teammates, rushed into the interior line and did not take the initiative to attack but handed it over to the more advantageous Xiao Si, Xiao Si faced the aging Garnett bag mercilessly was a violent dunk, and the basketball was steadily dunked by him.

If it weren't for Garnett's age, it would really be impossible for him to be captured by Xiao Si, this guy is a typical mechanical warrior violent type.

The shooting rate of each few rounds was kept at about half, Huang Xiang and Anthony did not have an obvious collision in the first few balls, when the first quarter of the game ended, the Knicks temporarily led the Cavaliers 28:25, and the rhythm was not very fast, but this result still made the fans on the scene addicted.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Huang Xiang continued to lead the team, this time he did not let the opponent score so easily, Huang Xiang's all-out defense made Anthony, who also played, suffer a lot.

Gibson slowly took the ball across the half court and handed it to Huang Xiang, Huang Xiang stepped back and raised his hand to shoot a three-point shot, which was the first three-point shot by Huang Xiang in this game.

Anthony glanced at Huang Xiang, is this guy finally going to start?

After receiving Billups' pass, Anthony pouted his big ass and rushed to the inside, under Huang Xiang's defense, he squeezed into the inside, and then picked up the basket to score the basketball, and fought back against Huang Xiang's attack, which was also very applauded.

Core engagement? In the playoffs, there is basically no such word, but it is also unavoidable, there is no contradiction in the slightest, the core is just the core of suppressing the opponent.

The real matchup between Huang Xiang and Anthony has just begun at this time.

Gibson handed it to Huang Xiang, who transferred the ball to the inside and handed it to Williams, Williams rushed into the inside line on one side and scored the basketball with one hand, this little guy is still in the excitement stage at this time, although he performed well in the last game, but he is still a typical rookie.

"Hey, hey, you think that's going to rewrite the game?" Xiao Si looked at the excited Williams and said sarcastically.

Williams ignored this guy, he didn't dare to argue with Xiao Si now, otherwise he would be completely out of action this season, and the injury was something he didn't want to see.

It's true that the playoffs are fiercely contested, and at the end of the first half, basically everyone had at least two fouls.

The 20-minute break in the second half allowed everyone to recover a certain amount of strength, and in the second half, the Cavaliers and Knicks played 51:53 in the first half, and the difference in scores made them completely different from the last series of games with the Hawks, such opponents are strong.

Huang Xiang also saw Anthony's full strength for the first time, this guy is really unusual, he scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block in the half, and shot 7 of 15 in the half, and the shooting rate was quite impressive.

In the second half, the Knicks took the lead in attacking, Billups rushed into the restricted area and tried to make a layup, but Iverson kept following with his speed, and Howard waited in front of him, so he had no choice but to hand the basketball to Anthony, who was moving forward together.

Anthony received a pass from Billups and glanced at Huang Xiang, who was still a little distance away from him, and rushed to the inside without hesitation.

The truth is really as he expected, even though Howard and Garnett are strong on the inside and strong defensively, but facing fellow superstar Anthony, the guy who loves to attack the most, is really not that difficult.

Anthony, who rushed into the interior, held the ball with one hand and picked the basketball to the basket, and Howard jumped up to block it in the face of the little melon, but Anthony successfully sent the ball into the basket, Anthony wanted to attack, and it was really not so easy to defend.

Offense and defense, it is always the offense that takes the initiative, even if a superstar defends a rookie, the initiative is in the hands of the rookie, why? Even if you are strong defensively, you have to follow the steps of the attacker, as long as you have good ball control skills and good footwork, then you can become a good ball handler, if you can also have a good sense of smell and passing skills on the court, you can become a team's point guard, plus you have good offensive ability, then, you are a superstar-level existence, like Iverson's superstar-level ball handler, then, you also need a lot of comprehensive ability.

Huang Xiang took Iverson's pass and ignored Anthony in front of him and went straight to the inside, Anthony followed closely but didn't follow too closely, Huang Xiang can have more than a dozen assists per game, and he earns a lot in the breakthrough point.

So for Huang Xiang's ball, Anthony didn't dare to be careless.

Feeling the familiar heat wave behind him, he secretly cursed Anthony in his heart that the ghost of this guy was still lingering, and his feet suddenly stopped at the moment when Anthony rushed in front of him and didn't stop, jumped high and threw the basket, the basketball smashed on the basket and bounced, and was caught by Howard on one side and dunked into the frame.

"Am I an assist?" Huang Xiang looked at Howard and asked without shame.

"Yes." Howard also smiled hesitantly, these two guys don't take others seriously, and Xiao Si, who didn't grab the rebound on his side, looked at the two with disdain.

Anthony handed the ball to Billups, who missed a three-pointer and grabbed the rebound, handed it to Anthony to hit a mid-range shot and missed again, and Howard grabbed the rebound.

The ball was handed to Iverson, who dribbled the ball past the half court and handed the ball to Jones, who burst into the side, and Jones raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

The basketball crossed an arc and landed in the basket, and Jones jumped high with excitement.

Jones, who often communicates with Huang Xiang, also likes to shoot when he catches the ball at this time, and his shooting percentage is not bad, and he can often surprise the Cavaliers.

"Beep ......" electronically synthesized whistle sounded, the first three quarters of the game ended, not bad, the second half of the Cavaliers power, has earned the initiative of the game into their own hands, the Cavaliers ended the first three quarters of the game, 77:70 ahead of the Knicks 7 points.

"The Knicks are a lot better than the Hawks, but I hope we don't fall here, not even once. So, we have to win this game, the next game, the next game, we have to win, come on boys, Huang Xiang don't rest in the fourth quarter, give me a hard beating. Scott's remarks during the break in the third quarter filled all the Cavaliers players with fighting spirit.

They all want to play right away, they really want to win all the games, and they're looking forward to the championship ring.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks ushered in Huang Xiang's crazy attack, and the Knicks immediately replaced Anthony, but although the little melon has good strength, the Cavaliers, who have already beaten their morale, are not allowed to fail and be chased at this time.

“****！！！” At the end of the game, Anthony could only express his displeasure with such a swear word, that's right, the Knicks, lost.

When the game was over with 3 minutes and 43 seconds left, D'Antoni changed the main force, and the 13-point gap was not something he could change at all, and the morale of the Cavaliers was too high.

The Cavaliers' first semifinal game, 102-91, won the Cavaliers, and the next game was still held in Cleveland.
