In the end, I met the Cavaliers.

At the beginning of the season last night, when Delon and Irving were traded, most people felt that the Cavaliers had made a solid profit, and they would be the biggest challengers to the Warriors, even if the Nets traded for George, they also felt that the Cavaliers had the advantage of experience and would still stand out in the East.

But no one expected Deron to have a recurrence of the injury, and no one expected that after Irving, known as the team's defensive black hole, was traded away, the Cavaliers' defense was still so bad.

Even Irving's departure is like taking away the last shield from other players, and the performance of others is as bad as it gets.

In fact, after the Cavaliers' season record was not as expected, fans analyzed all kinds of theories, such as James's abolition of teammates, teammates' CBA, and Cavaliers' management.

But these things are a thing of the past.

James played a great playoff game, and after a series of twists and turns, he still led the Cavaliers to the stage of the Eastern Conference finals.

The meeting between the two teams is also full of all kinds of topics.

First, the two teams swapped starting point guards this past offseason, which means that last season's teammates will be their opponents.

It's a wonderful feeling, and probably only two parties, Delon and Owen, can experience the five flavors of it.

Second, this is also the fourth consecutive year that the Cavaliers and Nets have met in the Eastern Conference Finals, with the Cavaliers trailing 1-2 in the series.

At the same time, this is also the fifth time that Tang Tian and James have met in the Eastern Conference Finals, except for the season when Tang Tian just joined the Nets three years ago, James won once, and at other times, whether it was in the Heat or the Cavaliers, James lost all.

Three years ago, the Nets roster was sparse, James didn't win much, and this year it looks like the Cavaliers are also at a disadvantage, and it has become unlikely that he wants to prove from Tang Tian that he can win the championship without Tang Tian.

Third, this could be James' final round of playoff games with the Cavaliers.

With a high probability of elimination, the Cavaliers' explosive salary and completely blocked recruitment space, no matter where James decides to go in the summer, the Cavaliers will basically not be his option.

Some people blame James, some people blame management, but no matter which one it is, unless the Cavaliers win the championship against the sky, the probability of James being left is 0, and if they lose to the Nets, this incident will happen directly in advance.

A variety of topics have put this series in the spotlight.

However, the two major focus figures, Tang Tian and James, look at these very lightly.

"Our goal is to win the championship and everything else is not important to us." When Tang Tian was asked about meeting James again, he said directly.

"There's no such thing as a grudge, I just want to help the team win the series, and I want to bring a fourth championship to Cleveland." James said.

The parties deliberately downplayed it, but the fans were unimpressed, and they couldn't wait for the game.

The Western Conference semifinals have been played two games by this time, and the Warriors lead the Rockets 2-0, and they are getting closer and closer to two consecutive championships.

The next day, the Cavaliers and Nets game kicked off.

The Barclays Center was packed, with fans holding signs such as "Nets Championship" and "Beat LeBron".

In the commentary seat, Barkley sat with Smith and O'Neal.

After the opening ceremony, the players of the two teams had a final warm-up before the game.

The scene gave James and Tang Tian slitted shots.

James sat on the sidelines biting his fingers, while Tang Tian watched the players warm up on the field with deep eyes.

"Do you think the Cavaliers have a chance?" Smith turned his head to look at his two partners.

"No, I think the only chance the Cavaliers have to win is in the offseason, when they at least looked like they had a chance, but right now, they're not a match for the Nets at all." Barkley showed no mercy.

"Charles, you're not humorous at all, Shaq, what do you think?" Smith turned to look at O'Neal.

"LeBron continued his great play in the semifinals, and I think the Cavaliers still have a chance, in other words, we've seen two miracles (in the first round and the second round), and I don't think it's impossible to do it a third time." O'Neill and Barkley disagree.

"Hey, Shaq, you have to pay attention to the basic law, the Nets' current strength and state are the best in the league, LeBron is not going to play against Bogdanovic, Tatum or the like, he wants to play against Paul George, can he still score 40 points? And the Cavaliers' road-like defense will be bombarded by the Nets. Barkley immediately retorted to O'Neal.

"So I say it's a miracle, after a first-round tie-break with the Pacers, who would have thought the Cavaliers would win the game against the Celtics? Who? Nobody, but he did, so when most people didn't feel that way, it might have happened. O'Neill responded.

"You're talking hooligan." Barkley disagreed.

"Okay, okay, the game starts right away, maybe we'll know who's right and who's wrong."

The three of them warmed up the atmosphere well before the game, and when the referee blew the whistle, the game between the Cavaliers and the Nets officially began.

The Nets' side is a regular lineup, with Irving and Butler on the outside, George and Yi Jianlian on the front, and Jokic at center.

On the Cavaliers' side, Delon and Korver on the outside, James and Love on the outside, and Thompson on the center.

Yi Jianlian jumped to win against Thompson, and the Nets took the lead in attacking.

Jokic's three-point line strategy, George pulled James to the bottom corner, Yi Jianlian's high post blocking, Butler and Irving's interspersed running.

The Nets' superstar system basketball is flying.

Butler gets his chance and catches the ball and flies to the basket.

However, at this moment, James predicted in advance and flew over to interfere strongly in the air.

Butler's dodge-based shot went wide of the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by James.

The Cavaliers fought back directly, and Korver missed a three-point shot after receiving the ball, but James rushed to grab a rebound and score a basket.

There was a stirring at the scene.

James is in really good shape, with a full presence at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Jokic had a three-point opportunity at the top of the arc, the ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced off the rim, and Thompson closed the rebound.

The Nets retreated quickly this time and didn't give a quick break.

James went to the front court to hit George directly with his back, and when he saw Owen coming over, he turned around and leaned back sharply directly to the baseline.

George's flying body interfered with.

"Huh!"

But after the ball was shot, it crossed a super high parabola and still went in!

4 to 0!

The Cavaliers took the initiative from the start.

"What am I talking about? LeBron! Marvel! O'Neill couldn't help but shout excitedly in the commentary seat.
