Memory is a very strange thing.

What you did yesterday may be forgotten the next day, but when you see something, you may recall everything at once.

Tang Tian's memory of the Thunder team and the Thunder Heat Finals that year was deep in his mind, because the short conversation with Jones before was like a flood that opened the floodgates, and all his brains poured out.

This Thunder team not only has no way to hold the ball with the ball, but Durant was still a defensive hole at the time, because of his thin body, not only could not withstand James, but also could not prevent guards such as Wade and Money.

"They use KD to defend me, they just don't respect me." This classic line of Chammoss popped out together.

This is also the reason why Harden played poorly in the playoffs in the first place, because he often had to go over to help defend, and even switch defenses to defend James one-on-one!

The Cavaliers don't have James now, but there is a weakened version of Artest, which should be enough for Durant to drink a pot!

Artest added a free throw, and the Cavaliers started the game 5-0 with momentum in the opening game.

"Defend! Defend! "The home fans, who are already in high morale, don't need a DJ to bring them at this time, they just shout in unison to cheer for the home team.

Durant finally got rid of Artest and took the ball by blocking.

"Bang!"

His first attempt missed a bit, and the ball eventually deflected off the basket and was grabbed by Yao Ming.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, and the same tactic was Artest versus Durant.

This time, Artest was more thorough and did not change direction, directly accelerating and rushing to the basket by relying on Durant.

Durant really couldn't stand it, and he withdrew directly under the basket.

Artest felt his body light, the defensive pressure disappeared instantly, and he was about to make a layup, but he jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The fans at the scene saw this scene and made a commotion.

No one expected that the Cavaliers would find such a fatal weakness of the Thunder team, and it was Artest who changed the situation!

7-0, the Cavaliers were on top of the court.

Westbrook's frontcourt organization, the Cavaliers don't care about three, seven, twenty-one, before he accelerates, directly wrap it up.

Westbrook couldn't wait for Durant to run out at this time, so he directly took the ball and rushed inside, knocked away Green, and rushed to the basket to confront Yao Ming before making a shot.

His confrontation ability is indeed perverted, Yao Ming didn't cover him during the move, and a difficult hit hit was made.

The Thunder finally broke the scoring drought as well.

Tang Tian nodded at this time, and did not scold the team members for Westbrook's score, but seemed a little happy.

The Cavaliers attacked the frontcourt, handed the ball to Artest, and broke through with the ball, and the Thunder chose to come over to help defend on the weak side at this time.

Artest's passing ability is not bad, he can average more than 4 assists per game at his peak, plus he usually plays team basketball with the Cavaliers, and when he sees Ibaka, he almost instinctively throws the ball behind him.

Ibaka's movement speed is excellent, but no matter how good he is, there is a limit, and when he turned around again, Battier had already received the ball in the bottom corner and shot directly into the open three-point shot.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Battier's murderous bottom corner was split in threes.

Without any celebratory action, Battier buried his head and ran to the Cavaliers' backcourt.

But at this moment, the morale of the Thunder's on-court players was obviously frustrated.

The Cavaliers had scored 10 points in less than three minutes, and the Thunder's defense was a bit of a collapse.

But defense itself is not the Thunder's strong point, offense is.

When it came to the frontcourt, Durant ran back in the front court to shake off Artest.

Westbrook's pass didn't come out, though.

Paul and Green's pressing left Westbrook a little at a loss.

By the time he finally found an angle to pass the ball out, Durant had already been close to Artest again.

Seeing that the offensive time was more than halfway through, Durant directly signaled the whole team to pull away, and then prepared to attack directly from outside the three-point line with the ball.

But as soon as he made this move, the Cavaliers' bag came again.

Sofrosa was once again let go, and Durant was forced to stop the ball by Green and Artest in one step with the ball.

The two of them straightened their hands to interfere with Durant's passing vision, Durant's passing ability at this time was also relatively weak, and he couldn't find the angle after a few attempts.

Seeing that there was not much time left to attack, he turned around and forced one.

"Bang!"

The shot was noticeably shorter, and Yao Ming picked up the defensive rebound.

The Cavaliers' offense, Artest also played Durant, this time Ibaka didn't dare to come over to help defend, and Westbrook went straight to the recovery.

Artest saw it and divided Paul in advance.

Paul faked a shot from outside the three-point line to fly back to Westbrook, and took the ball and dribbled to the free throw line.

"Huh!"

One ball is smooth, the ball is smooth, and Paul is also open.

At 12-2, less than five minutes into the game, the Cavaliers had already built a double-digit lead.

And what's even more exciting about the score difference is the situation on the field.

From Oklahoma to Cleveland, the Cavaliers were suddenly reborn and found a way to restrain the Thunder on both offensive and defensive ends.

Even though the Thunder team is full of overflowing talent, they have a feeling that they are pinned down everywhere and have nowhere to play.

Coming back from the timeout, neither side made any changes to the lineup.

Westbrook just passed the half, saw Paul and Green, who were about to wrap up, glanced at Durant, who was entangled by Artest, "snapped", and directly accelerated to rush in.

His talent is really outstanding, and there is almost zero preparation for this start, and Paul has not even reacted.

Westbrook rushed to the free-throw line and pulled a signature zombie straight at the free-throw line before Yao Ming came out on the inside.

"Huh!"

The ball goes in, too.

After three years of polishing, the distance in his hands has a lot of certainty.

Tang Tian glanced at the score and still sat calmly.

With the emergence of a group of guards with explosive scoring ability such as Rose and Westbrook, the concept of a point guard is becoming more and more blurred, and they seem to have no scoring ability, and they are embarrassed to say that they are point guards.

But these five positions in basketball have evolved over time, in other words, the responsibility of the point guard is to command the whole team.

Westbrook scored two strong points in a row, but the Thunder's already somewhat scattered offensive system became more homogeneous.

The Cavaliers' offense, Safrosa leaked, Paul's ball was passed, and Green's three-pointer went up and down.

15-4, the Cavaliers firmly grasped the initiative on the court.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 32-17, and the Cavaliers extended their lead to 15 points.

In the previous life, the Heat played the Thunder, and the Cavaliers did not do a bad job at all!

The excitement of the fans on the scene has never been there.

It turns out that the Cavaliers are also home dragons!
