"Fresh, I'll abuse vegetables when I ride."

Although it is a ridicule of online fans, the state of the Cavaliers is out.

With Vitesse's precedent, James is more concerned about the condition of his teammates, and Smith is not stunned and willing to listen to James's instructions.

It can be said that the knight's previous two problems were basically solved.

Next up against the Hornets at home, the Cavaliers led by 35 points in this game and won five consecutive victories.

After the game, Hornets center Jefferson said, "JR Smith has definitely greatly increased their shooting threat on the perimeter, and the big man (Timofey Mozgov) keeps them in shape. They look a lot different from the last time they met and I think the trade has made them even better. ”

Next up for the Cavaliers is the Thunder, which is a game of suggested strength.

Vitesse vs. his old club is also a place where some media hope to produce a breaking point.

The Thunder started the season hampered by injuries and haven't finished in the top eight in the West so far, and they desperately need a win more than the Cavaliers.

And worse than injury, when the pair is on the court, they don't have the efficiency of previous seasons, and the team is always struggling between losing and winning.

That's why they're willing to take over Vitesse, and it's said they're still looking for a trade to bolster their game.

In fact, the Thunder's offense and defense are not afraid of the Cavaliers, if you want to divide the victory or defeat, you can only see who does a good job in the details, and it can also be said that the opposite star can perform better.

Among them, James and Durant are the focus of everyone's attention, and the battle for the strongest forward.

Once the game started, both teams put a lot of effort into the defensive end.

The Thunder have Robertson and Durant in front of them, and Ibaka to help defend them, and it is not so easy to rely on the ability of the stars to play them.

The Cavaliers' defensive ability is a little worse, but now it has improved a little through trades, and with Zhang Xiaotian and James, the defense is also very good.

Also, the Cavaliers' lineup has a stronger scoring ability.

However, entering the rotation period, the knights had some problems.

JR-Smith is a bit iron, but Waiters plays very hard.

Fortunately, after hitting two goals, Vitesse's bad shooting problem came out again, and the key was to play iron.

However, after JR Smith adjusted, he reduced his ball handling and his shooting percentage went up a bit.

Iman Shampert also got a chance to play, he doesn't have the offensive power of JR Smith, but he has a good defense, and if he practices the basket again, he has no problem getting into the rotation.

In these two trades of the Cavaliers, the player sent out, that is, Waiters, is the main rotation, and it is still good if three regular rotation players are exchanged.

James started the second quarter with a strong force, and the outside always provoked the topic of him and Durant, although the players will not say how much they care on the surface, but in the real matchup, there will definitely be a little more strength.

Durant's performance is not far behind, but Wei is less and more iron, and Irving is half a catty.

And Lefou's scoring ability is slightly stronger than Ibaka, and Zhang Xiaotian has completely exploded Roberson on the offensive end.

Although Roberson defended well, Zhang Xiaotian was only the fourth point on the court at this time, and the Thunder felt that they couldn't draw it, so they simply replaced him, and they needed to attack now.

It's just that other players, whether it is Morrow or Vitesse, can't help much on the defensive end, but the offensive end is seriously hit by Zhang Xiaotian's interference.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks is also frowning, and if the team continues to sink, it is estimated that he will be the scapegoat, and the management is already unhappy that the team cannot go further in the playoffs.

They've made it to the finals, they've got talented players, so both the team and the outside world are asking of them to compete for the championship.

There is a lot of pressure on the players and the coaches at the moment.

By the middle of the second quarter, the Thunder went from leading to falling behind.

Their style of play is too reliant on the duo and lacks a coordinated shooter, and James has always needed a shooter around him, which is basically a necessary configuration around the player who occupies a lot of possession.

Thunder's current configuration is not very reasonable.

In the first half, the Cavaliers went to rest with an 8-point lead, and the winning streak after the losing streak, plus the trade, may not have the team's tactics to improve substantially, but the mental outlook has been completely different.

In such a situation, the Thunder must not be satisfied.

At the beginning of the second half, they strengthened their defense against James, and the help came faster.

On the offensive side, Shuangshao began to mobilize teammates, the most important thing is the echo between the two people, which is the aspect of the Thunder's strength, and it is also the aspect that limits them, and the interaction between the two and other players is too little.

Westbrook felt a little better than in the first half, which made the Cavaliers' defense a bit passive.

Durant is powerful, but how can there be James on top.

Wei Shao rushed in and had to rely on the help defense, and Owen definitely couldn't withstand it, so the defense of Westbrook had to be divided into two stages, and it was not difficult for him to do it when he felt bad, and he also needed a certain pinch attack when he felt good.

The Thunder also wanted Vitesse to play to his strengths, but Vites' shooting was really unpredictable.

This guy can shoot sometimes with high difficulty, but many times he can't shoot in the vacant position, and the Thunder is also a gamble to replace him, and his instability has made them anxious.

In fact, it is also the Thunder who is in a hurry to go to the doctor, Vitesse is the type who must have the ball, and it is a little unclear, and it will definitely be difficult to cooperate with Shuangshao.

The Thunder pinched James in advance, and the Cavaliers got a lot of opportunities on the outside, with Zhang Xiaotian and Love both winning.

So although the duo played better than in the first half, the two teams were also half-hearted in the third quarter, and the Cavaliers were in the lead before.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Thunder was Vitesse's strong attack, and Zhang Xiaotian's pace was still slower than the opponent's when defending Vites, but Vites's style was much better and more restrictive than Wade's.

Because this guy basically goes all the way to the dark, and when he gets to the position, he pulls it out, as long as he has a certain understanding of him, it is not difficult to predict.

So Vitesse was interfered with by Zhang Xiaotian on both attacks, and when the Cavaliers attacked, Vitesse took a risk steal and let Zhang Xiaotian score easily.

But to score at this time, the Thunder can't let Waiters go down, and there is nothing wrong with Roberson in the lead, and they have no choice when they are behind.

In less than three minutes, the Cavaliers' lead came to double digits, and the Thunder could only improve to the main lineup, and Ibaka went to the fifth position, using a big and four small attack lineup.

Just fight to attack the Cavaliers are not afraid at all, especially in the fourth quarter.

By the half-quarter, the Thunder hadn't narrowed the gap in the score, and they began to let the double play again.

Playing against the Thunder, every time it comes to this time, the form is very clear, unless it is a miracle.
