After the pause, the fans were nervous and excited.

The Rockets led by 2 points in the final minute and had a good chance of winning the battle of the century, which made them excited, and what made them nervous was that Tang Tian had just called a timeout.

As Rockets fans, they know very well how terrible it is for Tang Tian to call a timeout.

The Cavaliers came back from a timeout and released a strange formation.

Frye and Wallace on the inside, Greenga Matthews on the outside, plus a James.

This seems to be telling you plainly that I'm going to make a three-pointer this offense.

Thibodeau reached out and called a timeout.

I could feel that as a former subordinate, he had a natural awe and fear of Tang Tian.

The fans at the scene became more and more nervous.

The pausers panicked.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers' lineup remained unchanged, with James dribbling directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and the other four falling directly outside the three-point line on either side of the court.

James holds the ball directly at Battier.

The Rockets' interior line is empty.

Change of direction, dribble, cross step.

James's movements were hard and not aesthetic at all, but after accelerating, he rushed up, and Battier couldn't stop it, and he was quickly pushed inside.

In fact, since last year, he has been unable to stop James, and if it wasn't for Artest, the Rockets would have confessed that game.

James hit the free-throw line and looked like he was about to make a tank layup.

Maddie waved her hands to interfere with James' passing path before stepping back to the basket.

James didn't have a good passing angle, was caught in the bag, and jumped out of the baseline with the ball.

But at the moment of jumping out, he looked back at the moon, and threw the ball directly into the air to the bottom corner.

At this moment, Matthews had moved from the right forty-five degree angle to the bottom corner.

It is clear that this is a tactical arrangement.

Four three-point points, no matter who the Rockets shrink, there will be a three-point opportunity, and the person who gets the three-point opportunity will move to the bottom corner as soon as possible.

Of course it doesn't shrink, James can definitely score this goal.

Matthews catches the ball and glances at the basket.

The ball crosses a high parabola in the air, and the arc is graceful.

The hearts of the fans at the scene suddenly raised their throats, and they silently thought in their hearts.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the right edge of the basket, but it bounced high and landed in the net!

The most critical three-pointer is in!

The scene was in an uproar.

The Rockets called a final timeout with about 10 seconds left in the game.

Matthews shouted excitedly.

For a rookie, this kind of crucial three-point is quite a rally.

James has had a chest bump with him in the past, and as a team player, his favorite thing to do in crunch time is not to score, but to deliver a second pass like the one he just did.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers replaced Artest, directly doubled Yao Ming without the ball, and did not give the ball a chance.

Maddie took the ball and went straight to the basket, and James defended one-on-one.

Maddie throws a shot backwards after the confrontation.

But at this moment, Artest, who had gone to the bag, came back, used all his strength to feed, jumped up and jumped from the oblique side.

"Smack!"

"Toot!"

Maddie's lore ball is covered by Artest.

The red lights on the sidelines also lit up.

Cover lore!

108 to 107!

The fans at the scene hugged their heads for a while, unwilling to accept the reality in front of them.

The Cavaliers, on the other hand, rushed onto the court like crazy, yelling and screaming around Artest.

Most of them are newcomers and rookies, and this feeling of winning is really explosive.

Only James was calmer, standing on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, with a smile on his face.

Tang Tian smiled and sighed.

Said good to rot.

This first one didn't happen.

But his mood was inexplicably okay.

James had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and Matthews' final shot gave him a triple-double.

Artest scored 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, and he played extremely hard this time.

Matthews finished with 17 points and five rebounds, hitting a key three-pointer in the final minute.

Green hit three 3-pointers and contributed 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, playing steadily.

O'Neal and Rashid Wallace also scored in double figures.

Winning the battle of the century, Cleveland fans were excited, Rockets fans were very sad, and Morey was like an ant on a hot pan.

According to a person familiar with the matter, Morey went directly to the locker room after the game and was furious.

The defending champions got off to a bad start.

Back in Cleveland, the Cavaliers had a two-day break to play against the Bulls.

Tang Tian rested O'Neal and Wallace in this game, which was obviously a loss.

But perhaps because of the infection of the first game, the rookies are more excited and harder than the other.

The brightest one was of course Beverley, who stared at Rose like a mad dog all over the court, and although the latter still scored 26 points, he only hit 7 of his 25 shots, which was extremely inefficient.

In the end, the Cavaliers won 97-87 and ushered in a two-game winning streak of the season.

The players of the Cavaliers were excited after the game, but Tang Tian had a headache.

He suddenly envied the masters who were bad in his previous life, how to maintain the team's confidence and lose decently, he really didn't have much experience.

I don't have any experience, so let's be thorough.

After two days off, the Cavaliers flew to New Jersey to play the Nets.

The Nets rebuilt in the offseason, trading Carter to the Magic, Jefferson to the Spurs, and now Devin Harris and Brook Lopez are in charge, and they are completely announcing a rebuild.

Tang Tian directly made a ruthless move, directly so that Rashid Wallace, Matthews and O'Neal were all gone.

As a result, he almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

James and Green had excellent hands, and he replaced Thorton, but Suo's thighs felt hot and he killed all sides, scoring 28 points in 22 minutes.

In the end, the Cavaliers lacked three of the five main players, and defeated the opponent 96-81, ushering in a wave of three consecutive wins.

And that doesn't seem to be the end of it.

Two days later, the Cavaliers played the Pacers, and Tang Tian took James off directly, but Thorton continued to play hotly, scoring 27 points again, and Green scored 5 three-pointers in a single game, and the Cavaliers still won 91-81, and they won four in a row.

Tang Tian really couldn't cry or laugh.

said that it was rotten, but now don't talk about the tail, even the shadow can't be touched.

However, after four games, he realized a problem that he may not have considered before.

There are too many weak teams in the east that are not better than in the west.

According to the schedule rules, the Cavaliers play 80 percent of their games against Eastern teams, which is difficult to lose.

This is because the plan can't keep up with the change, and it has to be actively changed.

Tang Tian remembered what James said when he chatted with him before, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the phone of Jeff Petri, the general manager of the Kings.

"Jeff, I have a deal proposal for this, I wonder if you're interested?"
