In the first game of the 17-18 finals, the Rockets vs. the Cavaliers, as referee Dan Crawford threw the ball into the air, it officially began!

The two teams are Tristan Thomson, Kevin Love, LeBron James, J.R. Smith, and George Hill of the Cavaliers.

Clint Capela, P.J. Tucker, Yang Yiming, James Harden, Chris Paul of the Rockets. In this game, Coach Mike D'Antoni put Yang Yiming into the starting lineup, and it is suspected that Yang Yiming's performance in the last game was confirmed through lineup adjustments. Starting in the first game of the finals does that mean he has risen to another level in the team's playing order?

This question needs to be revealed after the series -

The camera flash flashed, and in this game, the Cavaliers jumped to the ball!

George Hill got the ball, he didn't dribble the ball and went directly to LeBron James, and unsurprisingly, James began to dominate the Cavaliers' offense from the first offensive round.

He leaned sideways toward the basket, observed the situation on the court, and motioned for George Hill to come over and block the pick-and-roll. Hill attracted Paul, Paul squeezed in front of LeBron James with a flexible card position, and Yang Yiming's double package was about to happen, but James He actually accelerated his back to Paul at the moment before the merger, and the basketball was dribbled under Yang Yiming's arm, and then he broke through the encirclement and killed the penalty area!

Capela was the only defender in the Rockets' box. James faced Capella, and Capela faced James, and the two collided in the air. The referee didn't blow the whistle on this collision, and let the strong win!

James pushed Capela open with his left shoulder, pulled the rod in his mouth, and the ball was only shot as he fell, and Capela had already been knocked out of the blocking position!

The basketball bounces off the board and goes into the basket!

James and his Cavaliers scored the first point in the Finals.

Yang Yiming thought that LeBron James would go all out from the first shot in the first minute, but he still underestimated the energy of Zhan Huang who used his full strength.

The current Cavaliers lineup is incomplete, except for James, who has not made the second leader at all, the team can break into the Finals for the fourth year, in fact, it all depends on the strength of James Huang - to defeat the Pacers by grabbing seven, severely hitting the first Raptors in the East, and finally winning seven games with the future division Celtic, Zhan Huang's contribution, if described as "great", is only slightly pale. Playing 48 minutes alone, 40+ scoring shows and triple-doubles many times, maybe James has long been used to this playoff mode: as long as I still have the fighting power, the Cavaliers will not fall!

What's more, he is still facing the Rockets, whose squad strength is slightly inferior to the old rival Warriors, which may further increase his confidence in fighting G1 to regain home-court advantage -

Yang Yiming has never seen such a powerful opponent.

In the last round against the Warriors, he sent a similar comment to Kevin Durant. Indeed, Durant's sharpness is far from being described by the word "powerful". His precise shooting and unsolvable finishing ability in the moment of attack made all opponents shudder. Yang Yiming compares him to the Xuantie heavy sword in martial arts, which is clever and unworkable, but with sword qi alone, it is enough to take the key points of all teams.

But Kevin Durant finishes are man.

People have some people's burnout, and people still have people's cowardice. He doesn't play all the time for 48 minutes, and he doesn't play every offensive round, he's both the starting point and the finishing point.

Emperor Zhan is more like a god.

Not only does he resemble a 48-minute version of Durant, but he also blends Harden and Paul at the same time. If the three of them can be combined, the combined appearance is probably James.

It's both the initiation point and the endpoint.

His courage is intimidating, and his strength is intimidating. If dealing with Durant was just ruthlessly thrown to death by him, then in the face of James, Yang Yiming was really completely defeated like being swept away by the residual wind.

For a moment, he seemed to think he felt the desperation of DeRozan, the Toronto Raptors leader in the Eastern Conference semifinals at the time. When LeBron James' technique, awareness, body, and temperament overwhelm you in all aspects, how do you convince yourself to persevere?

Especially when he is on your head, changing tricks countless times to easily score points:

James is so strong that he can crush anyone with his strength and weight. It's an undefensible offense, and his impact allows him to go to any restricted area that ordinary people can't go to, dunk or shoot after a confrontation. At the age of 33, Zhan Huang has also greatly improved his shooting percentage, allowing him to shoot and hit within one step outside the three-point line at will. And once you don't let Zhan Huang get to the low position, his Tiger Tank's body back and push it can make you feel even more painful.

Yang Yiming was in pain on the field.

He was dunked by James, stepped back to shoot, made a long-range three-pointer, and forced a foul. James shot 59.4% (19 of 32) from the field, including 42.9% from 3 of 7 three-pointers and 90.9% from the free throw line of 10 of 11.

And Zhan Huang also delivered 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block at the same time, almost omnipotent!

The Rockets almost pulled the score above 10 points twice in the game, relying on James' individual play to pull the Cavaliers back from the edge of the cliff. For the first time in the first quarter, Rocket's reputation for opening the game was well known to everyone on Earth. The two sides tied 15-15, the rocket suddenly picked up, and hit a small climax of 11-2 with consecutive three-point shots, and the Toyota Center was jubilant, and the strength of the two teams was really not on the same line!

But James stepped up immediately. He broke through first and hit a three-point success, and then made two consecutive layups, and finally the Rockets did not throw in two three-point fast breaks, and in the conversion, James directly received the backcourt Lefu rebound and attacked a long pass, and the score was equalized by a violent dunk!

The second is the third section. The Cavaliers and the Rockets tied the game at 56 to start the second half of the battle, and the Rockets relied on Paul and Harden to score in the backcourt this time, and there was a trend of going away. Unexpectedly, Zhan Huang was even more exaggerated this time, not only did he shoot 15 points in a single quarter - one of which showed his unparalleled confidence - but also handed out three assists, which were passed to JR Smith in the bottom corner to shoot a three-pointer, and the back hit the ground with a second pass to cut into the Lefu dunk, and Thompson air relay.

The Cavaliers scored 28 points in a single quarter, and 22 points were related to Emperor Zhan!

And the Rockets, who played 7-0 at the beginning of the second half, made follow-up efforts under the impact of James, and the whole team only scored 22 points, ushering in the first fourth quarter of the finals with a 6-point disadvantage!

Could it be that the Cavaliers, who seem to be no match for the Rockets, are going to steal the first victory on the Rockets' home court under the strong influence of Emperor James?!
