James felt that he must have fallen under the spell of defeat in the opening game.

In 2010, the first regular season game after the formation of the Heat's Big Three ended in defeat.

At that time, the league was hyping up the matchup between the big three of the old and new teams. So the battle between the Heat and the Celtics became the highlight of the opening game at that time. In the end, it ended with the "Green Shirts" winning by 8 points.

And now, four years later, James faced the same loss in the first game after returning to Cleveland.

It's just that this time James lost even worse than he did 4 years ago......

"The Cavaliers certainly didn't expect this outcome, they definitely didn't expect what they were going through tonight."

Looking at the Grizzlies who have already sent a bench lineup, Hubby on the commentary stage. Brown couldn't help but shake his head.

Fans paid close to $800 to get in, and ESPN put almost all of its resources into the game, not for garbage time.

It was expected to be a tight match, with the two sides battling it out until the last second. If the Cavaliers can take over the Grizzlies, it will be even more perfect.

However, everything that the fans fantasized about did not happen. There is no fierce confrontation, there is no rush to chase me, and there is not even a bit of suspense in the game. By the end of the half, the end seemed to be preordained.

At this point, there were only 3 minutes left before the end of the game. The new Cleveland Cavaliers are still 22 points behind the Grizzlies.

The Cavaliers have been in the spotlight of fans around the world this summer, with James and Love making the small-city team a staple in the basketball world.

But today, they played a game that didn't match the level of attention.

The Cavaliers have indeed changed, they have three superstars, they have the treatment of an all-American live stream, they have the eyes of the whole world.

But the Cavaliers didn't seem to change, because they still couldn't win the game.

At this point, the live camera swept to LeBron. James. Sitting on the bench, his eyes were glazed and he was completely devoid of energy. This "trip home" was too disappointing for James.

He shot 5-of-15 from the field, including just 1-of-5 from three-point range, and scored just 17 points. On top of that, there were as many as 6 personal mistakes! James' performance today must not be described as excellent.

Many media said that James behaved average today, but in fact, the word "average" can be regarded as giving James a lot of face.

If it was Link who cut this statistic, the media would definitely describe Link's performance as "a piece of shit".

James was completely suppressed by Link on both offensive and defensive ends today, and it seems that the successive losses on the defensive end have also affected James' play on the offensive end. In short, James is definitely not doing what a leader should do today.

After James, the camera showed Kevin next to him. A close-up of Lefou's face.

Lefu was holding his chin with his hands, and his eyes were blank. Today, the white power forward threw down 19 points and 14 rebounds, as always, with a double-double.

But Lefou's 42 percent shooting percentage made his two pairs less valuable. As an inside lineman, even if it is an outside line, the shooting rate is less than 45%, which is unacceptable.

The Cavaliers played the best today, but it was precisely the youngest Irving. He had 22 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, shooting 53.3% from the field. He is more of a giant than James and Love.

However, Irving has always been a one-punch opponent and his excellent performance did not cause any waves. The Grizzlies were firmly in control of the situation and tempo in the second half, and even if Irving rebounded in form, it was already too late.

The first battle of the Knights' Big Three was an unexpected mess.

In stark contrast to the Cavaliers, the Grizzlies are on the bench.

On the bench, the Grizzlies players were talking and laughing. Although the game has gone into garbage time, everyone on the bench will stand up and cheer whenever a teammate scores a goal on the field.

It's not hard to see that the Grizzlies are still in the locker room this year, and the players get along very well.

Actually, you can see it from the performance on the pitch. Today, the Grizzlies players showed great offensive ability with the ball. Everybody has an offensive chance, and everybody doesn't fight.

Whether it's Link, Butler, Harris, Conley or Iguodala and Carter off the bench, everyone has a chance to get the ball on the ball.

Under normal circumstances, the Grizzlies have a bit too many offensive points with the ball. On the Cavaliers' side, there are only James and Irving with the ball, and people are worried about the distribution of the ball.

But the magic of the Grizzlies lies in the fact that even with so many ball-holding points, there is no obstacle to the distribution of the ball.

Because everyone on the Grizzlies can seamlessly switch between offense with the ball and offense without the ball!

Harris can be a solo player with the ball, but he can also be a spacious No. 4.

Jimmy. Butler can score single-handedly with the ball, but he can also be a 3-and-D player.

Even Link is willing to give up the ball at any time to help his teammates open up space.

So, the Grizzlies scored very evenly today.

Link clocked out after only three quarters, so he "only" scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists today.

Butler scored 21 points, and he put up a performance that was not inferior to the preseason at all.

Harris scored 18 points, and he who has not been very present has made Love lose face.

With 13 points and eight assists, Conley proved himself to be a veritable All-Star;

From individual performance to team performance, the Grizzlies are one level above the Cavaliers.

James' new Big Three is still far from the championship.

In the end, the score of the two teams was fixed at 122-97. The Cleveland Cavaliers lost to Memphis by 25 points!

The fans in the Federal Express Arena were happy, but such a result was undoubtedly unacceptable to many fans outside of Memphis.

Although James has made fans unhappy about the re-job, the Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed the best hope to prevent the Grizzlies from winning three consecutive championships this year.

However, in the first game of the new season opener, their hopes were thrown to the ground by the Grizzlies, and they did not forget to step on two feet.

Their hopes were dashed before they could even begin.

After the game, David. Before Blatter could react to what was going on, he was caught by reporters. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the rest of the Cavaliers had walked briskly to the players' tunnel at the end of the game.

Gotta this black cauldron today, David. Blatter has to carry it, and if you don't carry it, you have to carry it.

The water in the NBA is so deep.

"Losing by 25 points in my first NBA game, Coach Blatter, how do you rate this loss?" Journalists are also ruthless, although Blatter has made a name for himself in Europe, but in the NBA, he is a rookie who is bullied.

"......" Blatter was speechless for a while, he didn't expect that NBA reporters would be so straightforward to rub salt on the wound.

Although Blatter didn't say a word for a long time, the reporters still didn't have the slightest intention of leaving. It seems that if you don't say something, you will never be able to get out.

So, Blatter, who was thoroughly educated, slowly approached the microphone, "The intensity and rhythm of the game in the NBA are very different from those in Europe, the Memphis Grizzlies are very strong, and they perfectly solve the problem of ball distribution and shot distribution with many points of possession." I think they're the best team in the NBA at this stage. ”

Blatter praised the Grizzlies, who he thought would make it through by complimenting his opponent. But this rookie coach still thinks too gently of the NBA.

"So, do you admit that the Memphis Grizzlies are a lot more powerful than the Cleveland Cavaliers right now? Isn't your mission to lead the Cavaliers to a championship? Do you already think that your goal is unattainable? ”

Blatter's face was pale, and sure enough, the so-called sportsmanship and gentlemanly demeanor were just the capital that the winners used to show off!

In the NBA, where strength reigns supreme, losers aren't even qualified to show sportsmanship and gentlemanliness.

Memphis Grizzlies, indeed good to David. Blatter took a lesson.

In the end, Blatter turned around and "fled" directly in embarrassment, leaving without answering the reporter's questions.

He really hopes that there is a team that can surpass the Grizzlies now, because he doesn't want to play in the Finals in this daunting place in half a year. Well, if he can hold on to the finals without getting fired.

However, Blatter quickly sighed, he said that the Grizzlies are the most perfect team at this stage, and he is not boasting.

It's almost impossible to find a team that's better than the Grizzlies......

The "Long March" had only begun its first step, and Blatter felt that he was about to lose his way.

It's not that the knight isn't good enough, it's just that the opponent is too strong.
