Fast forward to the beginning of October, and the preseason of the new season officially kicked off.

The brand-new Cavaliers will also make their season debut after nearly two months of training.

Even though it's only a preseason, the team's rookies are eager to try, after all, this is their first time in the NBA.

The Cavaliers' first game of the preseason is against the Miami Heat.

The Heat have basically maintained last season's roster, with O'Neal Jr., Wade, and Beasley still in the team's core of three, and the biggest addition of the summer is the signing of Alston on the free market.

Both sides are interested in training, the Heat side Wade and O'Neal Jr. have chosen to take a truce, and the Cavaliers side has veterans all wearing suits on the sidelines.

The Heat's starters were Money, Quentin Richardson, Beasley, Haslem and Joel Anthony.

On the Cavaliers' side, Beverley, Danny Green, James, Ryan Anderson and Channing Frye.

The game started quickly, the Heat attacked first, came up with a no-ball block, Beasley leaned back against Matthews, and directly chiseled after receiving the ball.

Although Beasley played a variety of games, he averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds per game last season, and his personal offensive ability was very good.

At this time, he hit Green with his back, and he didn't go in after a few hard hits, and when he was about to turn around, James shot out of the diagonal side and "snapped" the ball in his hand.

The Cavaliers played a fast break, James took the lead, and the other four followed quickly.

The tactical system that Tang Tian created for the Cavaliers is the same defensive counterattack he used in the Rockets playoffs last season.

This set of the main tactics of the Heat in the previous life was tailor-made for James, and it was completely seamless.

James dribbled to the frontcourt, and after attracting the attention of the defense in the middle, he threw the ball to Green, who followed up on the weak side, and Green received the ball for an open three-pointer.

"Huh!"

The three-pointer goes up and down.

Green is a consistent pitcher in his own right, and summer training has allowed him to maintain a very good shooting rhythm.

Chanmos dribbled to the front court and motioned for his teammates to run as he dribbled.

Beasley knew he couldn't move Green, so he picked up the ball and picked it up.

Chanmos watched Beasley play in the direction of his run.

"Smack!"

As soon as he raised his hand, he felt a lightness in his hand.

The ball was cut off by Beverley!

The Cavaliers played directly on the defensive counterattack, and James was like a Hummer with a full throttle, rushing out of the halfcourt in an instant.

Beverley threw a long ball, and James caught the ball and rushed to the front court to make a split.

The Cavaliers opened with a little confused against the Heat.

Tang Tian was also a little surprised.

The Cavaliers started with the kind of fluidity he wanted.

He had expected the rookies to make mistakes, but he realized that he might be underestimating his teammates.

The game continued, and the Heat never expected that the Cavaliers' defensive pressure would be so great, even if they were careful, they would still be cut off by all kinds of balls.

And the Cavaliers' fast offense is the wind and water, and the mercury is falling.

Except for James himself, the other four points were very sure of the three-pointers, throwing in five in the first quarter alone.

By the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers had already led the Heat by a full 15 points.

In this game, not only Tang Tian was pleasantly surprised, but the Heat fans at the scene were stunned.

Why are the Cavaliers' rookies so good!

This doesn't make sense!

This shouldn't be!

On the other side, in addition to James, two second-round picks, a bamboo pole interior that played badly last season and almost no one wanted, and a white interior who was a defensive scumbag.

This lineup is much worse than the Cavaliers last season.

But it's that easy.

And this is not the end, and in the second quarter, Matthews and Thornton came on the court and fought a chaotic battle with the Heat, completely blinding each other.

By halftime, the Cavaliers had a 25-point lead.

Heat head coach Spoelstra took a look at the game and went straight to the fringe in the second half.

Tang Tian also played the second half with a substitute.

In the end, the Cavaliers crushed the Heat to the ground 102-79 in the first game of the preseason.

James played only 15 minutes and contributed 10 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.

The Cavaliers made 15 three-pointers as a team.

The standout of them was Matthews, who threw in five by himself and scored a game-high 20 points.

Green threw in three and scored 12 points.

2 for Frye, 2 for Badinger, 2 for Thornton.

This three-point rain is a bit exaggerated.

And such surprises have not stopped.

After winning the first game, the Cavaliers played preseason games against seven other Eastern teams in the remaining half a month, and won all six games except for the loss to the Spurs.

Averaging 16.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, shooting 52 percent from the field and 47 percent from three-point range, Matthews is playing the best game next to James, looking like an undrafted pick, and even better than most lottery picks.

Green also had 10.8 points and 3.5 rebounds, shooting a team-high 51% from three-point range.

Thornton averaged 11.6 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, an absolute bench wonder soldier, and a master of chaos.

Although Badinger and Beverley did not score much, they also performed remarkably.

While the preseason record doesn't matter, the 7-1 record says a thing.

These rookies of the Cavaliers played very well, even better than Tang Tian imagined.

After the preseason, the Cavaliers completed the final cuts, Bobby Brown and Javard Williams were cut, and the 15-man roster for the new season was released.

Point guards: Jason Williams, Beverley

Shooting guards: Michael Finley, Danny Green, Matthews, Marcus Thornton

Small forwards: James, Artest, Battinger

Power forwards: Rasheed Wallace, Ryan Anderson, JJ Hickson

Centres: O'Neal, Fry, Ben Wallace

After the lineup was decided, the team was also fully assembled to prepare for the upcoming regular season.

The opponent of the Cavaliers' opening game turned out to be Team Rockets.

The schedule for the new season was decided in August of the offseason, and by that time Tang Tian had already made the decision to join the Cavaliers.

The league's schedule is clearly deliberate.

But the effect is fried.

It can be said that the moment the preseason is over, the fans have completely quarreled on social media.

Some Rockets fans still think that Tang Tian's departure is a betrayal, while Cavaliers fans ridicule the Rockets management as a German dictatorship, forcing Tang Tian, Keith Jones, and even Artest and other old Rockets to leave.

The game has not yet started, and the comments of various bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have already made the pre-game momentum boiling.

In fact, not only the fans, but also the media, also promoted the game.

"Who's right and who's wrong, maybe the one who wins is qualified to say." Barkley described it in these words on TNT's show.
