The reporter watched the whole training from the sidelines, and when the training was over, he immediately rushed forward.

All the team members were asked by Tang Tian not to be interviewed, and asked them to go to the locker room early to take a shower and change clothes.

Then he reached out and beckoned all the reporters to his side......

"Coach, will the team win tomorrow night's game?"

"Coach, how is the team going to deal with the Knicks' star forward?"

"Coach, Jeremy played well in the regular season, will he get more playing time in the playoffs?"

……

Journalists' questions are one after another.

Playing at home, the Cavaliers are naturally the more popular team.

"Yes, we'll take it."

"We'll find a way."

"We decide the playing time based on the form of the players."

……

Tang Tian also answered patiently one by one, but his principle was not to reveal any useful information before the game.

"Coach, on the TNT show, Charles said that the Knicks have a chance to beat the Cavaliers, what do you think about this?" The reporter who had interviewed Smith before finally grabbed the opportunity to ask questions.

Tang Tian smiled, he had expected that someone would ask this.

"No, they don't have a chance." Tang Tian's answer was very simple, but it made all the reporters stunned.

Tang Tian, this is really not low-key at all!

"Smith said the Knicks didn't play well because they had suffered a lot of injuries, and he thought the Knicks would win the series." The reporter rushed to say that what he had interviewed with Smith had finally come in handy.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help laughing.

Smith is really ...... It's exactly the same as he remembered from his previous life.

"No, they don't have a chance." After laughing, Tang Tian repeated his previous words.

In the last game of the regular season, because the season was almost over, the Cavaliers expanded the rotation in order to avoid injuries, and Paul didn't play yet, but in the end the Cavaliers still won by more than 20 points.

It is one-sided to say that Jeremy Lin won because he felt good, and Anthony and Smith did not feel bad in that game.

The real reason is that the two teams are too different in terms of teamwork and tactical system on the court, and the Knicks really don't have a chance to play the series.

"But we noticed that the team's training today was serious and formal, wasn't that because we were worried about the game?" Some reporters put forward different opinions.

Tang Tian smiled.

"No, we will value every opponent in our actions, but at the same time, we will also despise our opponents psychologically, because there is no need to pretend to be modest in the game that must be won." Tang Tian said lightly.

“……”

A group of reporters were dumbfounded.

Okay, you're still pretending to be skilled!

The boiling off-court heat, the-for-tat pre-game interviews, this round of the series between the Cavaliers and the Knicks definitely earned enough eyeballs before the start of the game.

The next night, under the watchful eye of the two teams, the series between the two teams finally began.

The commentary of the game happened to be Barkley and Smith, and as soon as the two sat on the commentary table during the game, they had already attracted the attention of everyone on the scene.

Although they are betting on a series, in fact, the question of whether there is a chance or not, can already be seen in one game.

In the passionate introduction of the live DJ, the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

On the Knicks' side, Bibby and Shampert on the outside, Anthony and Stoudemire on the front, and Chandler at center.

Woodson didn't put Smith in the starting lineup, and it seems that he still wants Smith to hold on or pull away from the bench.

On the Cavaliers' side, there is a regular lineup, with Paul and Green on the outside, Butler and Battier on the front, and Yao Ming on the center.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yao Ming turned the ball back to the Cavaliers half.

Paul held the ball to the front court and directly beckoned Yao Ming to block and dismantle.

The Knicks have a strong defense and pinched the Cavaliers' offense well in the regular season, but there is obviously a big difference between the Cavaliers with Paul and without Paul.

One gear and one dismantle, facing Chandler's pull-up jump shot.

"Huh!"

The Knicks didn't wrap it up, and directly watched Paul send the ball into the basket from the middle distance.

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

Although Paul didn't play a few games after recovering from injury, your uncle is still your uncle.

Bibby dribbles to the front court and hands Anthony in the low post.

Anthony had his back to Butler ready to hit the back.

But before he could start, Green went straight to the basket and wrapped it up.

Anthony saw that the bag was coming, and went straight to the basket to turn around.

Butler was already stuck in position.

Anthony didn't turn around for a moment, and was already caught in the bag when he turned again.

"Bang!"

The shot under the bag was out of the basket, and the rebound was accepted by Yao Ming.

Paul advanced in the front court with the ball, and when he arrived in the front court, he also played blocking and dismantling cooperation.

The Knicks shrank their defense this time, and Paul split the bottom corner directly into Green.

Paul's shot was timely, and Green had a chance with a huge open space.

"Huh!"

Green got up and down, and the three-pointer landed steadily.

The Cavaliers hit back-to-back shots.

Woodson shouted from the sidelines to remind his players to pay attention to the defense.

The Knicks' offense, Bibby went to the front court and gave the ball to Anthony.

Green also contracted, this time earlier.

Anthony saw Green's help defense, but still didn't choose to pass the ball, but held the ball high, turned and leaned back directly to the bottom corner.

"Bang!"

Butler was close enough to interfere, and Anthony's hasty shot still didn't go in.

Yao Ming added another defensive rebound.

Paul and Yao Ming also played blocking and dismantling, and this time the Knicks players on the court used all their strength to shrink and retreat, and finally did not let Paul play as simple as the last round.

Seeing that there was no chance, Paul directly returned the ball to Yao Ming at the free throw line, and while running out, he stretched out his hand to signal the air cut tactic.

Butler cut straight to the basket, and Green came out to cover Paul for the pick-and-roll.

Yao Ming's free throw line response, directly scored Paul who ran back to the three-point line.

Butler's open cut drew most of the defense, and Paul was again on the pick-and-roll, and this time the catch was another open space.

"Huh!"

Paul's three-pointers aren't a conventional weapon, but his open three-pointers have been just as bad.

The Knicks' offense, or ...... Anthony's singles, this time from the low post to the free throw line.

The Cavaliers also shrink the bag clip.

Shampert kept reaching out on the outside, and Bibby was shouting to remind Anthony.

Anthony finally passed the ball this time, and Shampert received the ball and made a quick three-point shot.

"Bang!"

The three-pointer still didn't go in, and Yao Ming collected the third defensive rebound after the opening.

This time he didn't dump Paul again, but threw it straight into the midfield.

Butler had already played a fast break.

Defense and offense complement each other, with defense leading offense and offense driving defensive enthusiasm.

The continuous shooting failure obviously made the Knicks' defensive enthusiasm down, and this one was not careful, and Butler seized the fast-break opportunity.

Butler rushed to the front court with the ball, saw that no one was chasing behind him, jumped directly from the free throw line, and pressed the ball into the basket with a heavy two-handed dunk.

"Bang!"

Butler swings his feet around the basket.

The entire Quick Loan Arena was directly ignited.

The Cavaliers opened with a wave of 10-0!
