The Cavaliers' offense, Irving broke through Holiday to the basket and missed the shot.

Tang Tian judged that he should grab a defensive rebound, but Whiteside grabbed an offensive rebound before him and added the ball to the basket.

Whiteside's combination of flexibility and confrontation after losing weight was quite impressive.

Looking back, the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian played Love again, and sent the ball to the basket after confronting Whiteside before the bag.

4 to 4.

Both teams scored in the first few waves of the opening game.

Although the penalty scale has changed, the state of the two teams tonight is going to the offensive battle.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 20-15 and the Pelicans took the lead.

On the Cavaliers' side, Whiteside scored eight points in an eye-catching performance.

On the Pelicans' side, Tang Tian also scored 8 points, but there were 2 rebounds and 4 assists!

One of the 4 assists is a three-pointer, and two free throws are removed, and 17 of the 20 points scored by the Pelicans have something to do with Tang Tian!

The Pelicans didn't play any complicated tactics on the court, the core idea was that the players pulled away, and then Tang Tian attacked by himself, or simply blocked and dismantled and passed the ball to assist.

In other words, Tang Tian's ball possession rate after the opening reached 100%!

"Brad."

On the bench, Gentry couldn't help but turn his head to look at Stevens.

The Pelicans' tactics on the court tonight were different from what they had set up before the game.

"I know."

Stevens, of course, saw it.

But he nodded and said nothing.

He usually trains strictly, but he knows how to be flexible.

This can be seen from the way he gets along with Tang Tian.

He's seen Whiteside's remarks and media reports, so he's not unprepared for what the players did tonight.

Not every night has to be strictly followed by the coaching staff, after all, the season is so long, and he doesn't need to rely on it to build his prestige.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Pelicans are just as simple as they play, and they are also ahead of the Cavaliers.

Tang Tian's personal ability, coupled with the tacit understanding he had with these starting teammates for three or four years, made him look very terrifying.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 33-30, and the Pelicans still maintained a three-point lead.

The last time the two teams met in the opener, the Pelicans took a double-digit lead in the first quarter, leading by 14 points at halftime and crushing the Cavaliers in the third quarter.

But the current point difference in the first quarter shows that the Cavaliers' strength is indeed much better than at the beginning of the season.

In the opening stage of the second quarter, most of the main players on both sides rested off the court.

Whiteside was in constant communication with the assistant coach on the sidelines.

He didn't ask about the team's tactics again, nor did he ask about his poor performance, but asked Tang Tian's data.

"10 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists."

Hearing the TA's answer, he frowned.

He was crazy about rebounding, and he grabbed 5 rebounds in this quarter alone! 3 of them are offensive rebounds!

Not only rebounding, but he is also struggling to prevent Tang Tian's scoring and assists.

He did this with only one purpose, not to let Tang Tian complete the triple double!

He was slapped in the left cheek in the opener, and he doesn't want to be hit in the right cheek again.

He wanted to pretend to succeed once, and he wanted to tell the world that the Pelicans and Tang Tian had made the wrong choice!

He's a better center than Jokic, he's the best center in the league!

But now, Tang Tian has obtained such data in this section, and there is a high probability that he will have three doubles again!

In the second quarter of the substitution transition, the two teams are still inseparable.

After more than five minutes of this quarter, the main forces of both sides came back one after another, and the score on the court was 41-37.

James' breakaway layup caused Jokic's hitter, and after hitting both free throws, the margin was only 2 points, a one-ball gap.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The scorching situation excites Cleveland fans, and the cheers and cheers from the crowd are overwhelming.

Holiday held the ball to the front court and continued to give the ball to Tang Tian, and they were determined to brush up on Tang Tian's data tonight.

Tang Tian was still looking for a block, but Lefu couldn't keep up, and Tang Tian successfully hit the basket.

Whiteside's eyes were red, he wanted to stop Tang Tian!

Tang Tian's castration has not decreased, the two of them have a physical confrontation, and Tang Tian can't get up.

However, he didn't seem to remember that in the moments after the confrontation, he slipped the ball from Whiteside's waist to Jokic at close range.

Jokic took the ball and scored with ease.

Tang Tian's 6th assist of the game!

Whiteside clapped his hands angrily when he saw the goal.

Tang Tian suddenly wanted to laugh when he saw his expression.

This guy has a really bad brain, and he is probably the only one in his eyes at this time.

James came over and patted Whiteside on the shoulder, reminding him to just stand under the rim.

Owen singled out Holiday with a turnaround and a lean-back shot.

The Cavaliers' style of play is simpler and simpler, but it is also more effective as it is played.

It's still a 2-point difference, and the situation on the field is still anxious.

Holiday also gave the ball to Tang Tian after half time, which was really 100% possession rate.

Tang Tian is also simple, continue to look for Lefou.

Lefu stood in a defensive position this time, but was still squeezed through after confronting Tang Tian.

James came from the weak side and Whiteside shrunk to the basket.

This ball is blocked back and forth, and there is a good chance of defending it.

Whiteside jammed Jokic and was ready to defend the rebound after a successful defense.

At least, Tang Tian can't be allowed to get rebounds anymore.

But just as he thought so, Tang Tian suddenly accelerated again.

This second acceleration was caught off guard, James didn't have time to help defend, Whiteside's hand hadn't been stretched out yet, and there was a lesson from the last ball, and half of his attention was on Jokic.

It was at this moment that Tang Tian stepped into the forbidden area and jumped up.

"Bang!"

He slammed the ball into the basket through Whiteside, who hadn't reached out yet!

After the previous game against the Jazz, he humorously said that he was able to make up the dunk because Hill was not Cousins and the guard was not a big man.

But this time, he pressed the ball in through Whiteside!

Tang Tian, this person, really can't believe what he said!

The fans were dumbfounded.

Forbes jumped to the sideline with a towel and flew up.

Whiteside was pushed off the court, and after he saw Tang Tian hanging on the basket, his brain was about to rush up as soon as he was hot.

However, Jokic was quick to block in front of him at this time, and the referee stopped his next move in time.

This ball, this background board, the outcome of the game is still unknown, and it is unknown whether Tang Tian's triple-double can continue, but his face has been lost!

Tang Tian glanced at Whiteside after he landed, and there was no emotion in his eyes at all.

He is kind to most people, but he is just as unmerciful to the unthankful.

This ball became the epitome of the second quarter, and Tang Tian was in a hot state, leading the Pelicans to a 57-46 lead at halftime.

He scored 16 points in this quarter, 26 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals in the half, and he had a double-double at halftime!

Whiteside held back his strength to stop Tang Tian from taking the data, but no one could stop Tang Tian after his back injury improved.

He wants to brush, Whiteside can't stop it, no one can stop it!
