As the star of the Bobcats and the Cavaliers, although Roy and James did not play against each other, both showed their characteristics in the first offense. When the four eyes met, there was a faint burst of fire in the air.

While James is obsessed with winning, Roy is not left behind, and they both know that they have to beat each other to win. It was more difficult on the Bobcats' side, and although Roy easily broke through Hughes's defense in the first round, that didn't mean the Cavaliers couldn't do anything about him, for example, they could let James defend.

When Roy dribbled again past halftime, it was James who rushed up to defend first, and Hughes went to switch to Ariza. Coach Mike Brown sees clearly, Ariza is just a catch-and-shoot point on the outside of the Bobcats, and letting James defend is equivalent to wasting resources, since Hughes can't prevent Roy, it is better to let James try, Brown is naturally full of confidence in his number one star, in his opinion, as long as the Cavaliers can limit Roy, then this game can be said to be devastating.

Seeing James come up to defend himself, Roy's face became a lot more solemn, he has always been a young man, and he rarely writes his mood on his face, but now he is changing color for James, obviously a little jealous.

Previously, Hughes let Roy take half a step, but he was broken through in a blink of an eye, and since he had learned from the previous car, James naturally had to be close to him. Regardless of height, weight or arm span, James is much stronger than Roy, when he opens his arms, Roy's figure is not visible from behind, Jackson clenched his fists, staring at the court, he doesn't know if Roy can handle James's close marking, in fact, there are very few players in the league who can do this.

Roy isn't stupid enough to go up and hit hard, even if he can barely make a few feints in such a small space, he still has to keep an eye out for James' steals. He decisively asked Marc Hill to come up and make a cover, which caused boos from the audience, and in the eyes of the fans, Roy did not dare to one-on-one or coward, and they naturally booed them who admired individual heroism.

Not daring to boo didn't make Roy change his mind, and in his opinion, he just chose the right tactics, which was understandable. Mark Hill's cover kept James firmly behind him, and by the time the latter forced his way through, Roy had already ridden inside and helped the Bobcats score again with a light small throw, and neither O'Neal nor Gooden were in place.

Chang Wei almost applauded Roy's performance. In the eyes of Cavaliers fans, Roy's behavior is cowardly, but Chang Wei thinks it is extremely clever, if Roy wants to use his skills to break through James in one-on-one, then nine times out of ten he will make a mistake, even if he does not make a mistake, he will not be able to score so easily inside.

This is also a big factor in the recognition of Roy as the leader of the team by the other Bobcats, who doesn't look like a rookie at all on the court, and his mental age is much older than his actual age. Perhaps other rookies would want to win applause by single-handing James on a stage like this, but Roy is clearly more focused on winning the game, and it is normal to summon pick-and-rolls.

Before the two sides changed their main lineups, Roy and James almost contracted most of their respective teams' scoring. Roy blocked and dismantled, and he still shouldered the responsibility of the top scorer very well, and he did not fall behind against James. James had 14 points and three rebounds, while Roy had 12 points and four assists as the Bobcats took a 27-25 lead. However, for either side, the two-point gap can be ignored and they will all need to work harder.

Fortunately, the Bobcats' bench is better than that of the Cavaliers, although the Cavaliers' benches are relatively experienced, but the Bobcats' benches are all masters of chaos, and Raheem and Lee are frequently successful in singles on the inside. At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats led 35-30, much to Jackson's surprise, and he didn't expect to take the lead to end the first quarter.

However, he also knew that the opponent would not give up, and the Bobcats took the lead in the first quarter and undoubtedly swept away their face, and the team will definitely face a tougher challenge in the second quarter. So during the break, in addition to arranging the tactics of the second quarter, Jackson mainly asked the players to stabilize their mentality and not be complacent because of a little lead.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, James turned on the passing mode, and he hit consecutive breakaway shots to create a lot of opportunities for his teammates. Gibson and Hughes on the outside also hit consecutive shots vigorously, and the Cavaliers had already overtaken the score in just a few rounds. In fact, James also considered passing inside in the past, but O'Neal was caught in the bag of Milicic and Marc Hill, and it was difficult for Gooden to score in the three-second zone, so he could only occasionally show his mid-range shooting, and it was better to pass to the outside!

Roy, of course, couldn't let James dominate, and Jackson uncharacteristically let him play at the beginning of the second quarter, apparently hoping that he could help the team further widen the gap and maintain a slight lead. Now that the Cavaliers have completed the comeback, he must hurry to regain the advantage on the court with his teammates, and disrupt the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm by the way.

Under Roy's command, the Bobcats players sped up the rotation, and Roy got quite a few opportunities to single Hughes and even Gibson. Although he suffered a lot against James, Roy still had an advantage in the face of these two, and what was even more surprising was that he was still able to maintain a good shooting percentage and not cool down at all because of rest.

But it was impossible for the Cavaliers to give up the lead, and Roy couldn't just let the Bobcats bite the score, no matter how hard he tried. In the opinion of the commentators on the field, this was already very good, and they all thought that the Bobcats took the lead in the first quarter just a fluke, but Jackson felt helpless, and it seemed that the Bobcats players still needed to continue to sharpen their skills, and lost their previous advantage less than two minutes into the second quarter, which must be avoided for a team that wants to achieve more.

Chang Wei thinks it's nothing, with the strength of the Cavaliers, the possibility of the Bobcats completing the Black Seven is close to none, and the most important thing now is to let the young players learn from the experience, and at the same time feel the atmosphere of the playoffs, so as to lay a solid foundation for further progress in the future. Of course, this does not mean that Chang Wei wants his team to lose, he has always wanted to win.
