Big Ben came on the court and had a habitual high-palm slap with Rasheed Wallace.

Big Ben left the Pistons four years ago, and four years later, the two appeared on the same team, and everything was as if it were the same as before.

The Magic send a sideline ball.

Howard habitually wanted to go low, but Big Ben kept pushing him with his body, and he didn't go in.

Seeing this, Nelson gave up the idea of putting the ball in and turned directly to Carter.

Carter took the ball to Lewis to block it, and after dismantling it, he broke through to the basket, and Rasheed Wallace couldn't keep up.

Carter broke through to the basket and saw Big Ben coming, and threw the ball directly into the air.

This is an empty catch!

Howard understood, and jumped but didn't get up.

Big Ben faked it just now, and he had already shrunk back the moment Carter passed the ball in the air, and at this moment he stuck Howard with his body to prevent him from jumping!

The ball flew over Howard's head and was grabbed by James as he rushed in.

Direct Miss!

Experience!

The audience was delighted.

James got the ball and threw it to Matthews, and the Cavaliers pushed the defense to counterattack as soon as possible.

Matthews was fast, squeezing Nelson in the front court and scoring a layup.

In addition to the three-point range, Matthews' matchup ability is also above the league average.

Tang Tian nodded at this time.

With Howard in his presence, the Cavaliers are not suitable to play against the Magic, which is a big reason why the Cavaliers lost last season.

The most effective way is to play defensive counterattacks, let Howard run with both ends, and make the Magic's three-point shooting unable to play.

Of course, the premise of such a fight is that someone can guard against Howard.

The first round after Ben went up did well.

Howard was a little upset that the ball was Carter's mispass, and this time he reached for the ball even though Big Ben pushed him to the free-throw line.

Nelson puts the ball in.

After Howard motioned for his teammates to pull away, he directly sank his weight and chiseled.

When he was young, he didn't have an advantage in playing big books, but now that he is at his peak and old years, he doesn't believe that he can't stand up to an old guy.

"Bang! Bang! ”

There was a dull thud of muscles colliding, like a hammer pounding against a solid mud wall.

The big book didn't move.

As a representative of the league's stout interior line, a solid bottom line and terrifying power are the foundation for him to stand in the league and become a top interior liner.

Footsteps and speed will degrade significantly with age, but strength and deterioration are much slower than imagined.

Howard pushed it up for a while, but he didn't go in half a step.

He finally realized this, but he was not reconciled, and turned around again, dribbling the ball and preparing to go inside.

"Smack!"

It's a pity that he is not Yao Ming, and his dribbling skills are not skilled, and he was slapped off by Big Ben as soon as he dribbled.

James reacted strangely, rushed out to grab the flying ball as soon as possible, and then buried his head and rushed forward.

Nelson reacted quickly and went straight to the top.

James started to dribble from the backcourt, almost tank-like all the way to the free throw line, rushed up and hit Nelson, it was a trademark arm dunk!

"Bang!"

The entire Quick Loan Arena was boiling.

The Cavaliers used to beat the Magic 4-0! Tie the score in an instant!

Tang Tian was smiling at this time.

Sure enough, Daben is really cheap, and he can fight when he is old!

To put it more bluntly, Big Ben is now a court old man, and he can't play a quasi-professional game on a wild court like Yao Ming, but he can't play a young man like Howard who likes to fly away, and he plays obediently.

Howard is the core lifeblood of this Magic team, and he can't open it, just like last year's Finals, the whole Magic team is also difficult to open.

In the end, the Cavaliers won the revenge battle with a 108-93 victory over the Magic.

On 41-of-73 shooting, the Cavaliers shot an exceptionally high percentage and played defensive counter-attacks almost the entire time.

Williams also played well in his debut, scoring a bench-high 16 points and six assists on 7-of-12 shooting.

Howard, on the other hand, played erratically in the face of Big Ben, shooting only 4-of-16 from the field and scoring 12 points from the free throw line.

Winning the Magic is a huge confidence boost for the whole Cavaliers.

And Big Ben's performance also solved the team's interior defense problem with a pause.

In this wave of games at Christmas, the Cavaliers did not have major injury problems, and the team successfully improved their record from 13-4 to 19-5, beating the Magic to rank first in the East.

Because of being in the East, this first place is much easier than the previous first place of the Rockets.

But that's the reality, and that's why teams that won more than 60 in the East last season will be vulnerable to the West.

It's Christmas.

This year's Christmas, Tang Tian decided to spend it with Swift, and speaking of which, this is also the first time that the two have spent Christmas.

Swift's house is in Los Angeles, and she's running around the room at this time, like a busy elf.

Tang Tian originally wanted to help, but found that he couldn't help, so he could only sit in the living room and watch TV.

"Meow~"

As he was sitting, there was a shout behind him.

He turned his head to look and saw that it was the one he had bought a year earlier.

Probably.

He remembers that when he bought it, it was only about the size of a slipper, but now, it was a big ball, a small lion.

"You were an orange cat in your last life, right?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Meow!" The cat let out a low cry, clearly protesting.

It seems that although this guy is as fat as an orange, his IQ has not dropped much.

Tang Tian tried to stretch out his hand, but this guy jumped away directly, and it seemed that he had already forgotten about him.

"Don!"

Swift came out of the kitchen and shouted.

Tang Tian turned his head, but found that Ying Short "poof" ran towards Swift quickly, and jumped directly onto Swift's chest.

"Don't do that, baby." Swift smiled and hugged Hide.

Looking at Ying Short with his head and constantly squeezing Swift's chest, Tang Tian smiled bitterly.

Looks like Swift was calling this guy just now.

It's also a shame that this cat is a female cat, otherwise he would have to be jealous.

"The cake is ready, and it will be ready to be baked in two hours." Swift sat down beside Tang Tian with Ying Short in his arms.

Since making a cheese championship cake for Tang Tian before, Swift has taken it as a hobby, and now it is getting better and better.

"Good work." Tang Tian grabbed Swift's shoulder and kissed her on the face.

"Meow!" At this moment, there was a strong protest from the cat's arms.

Tang Tian glanced down at Ying Short, reached out and touched its hind legs, and said with a smile: "This tendon meat is very solid, let's add another meal of cat meat in the evening." ”

"Poof!"

Before he could say this, Ying turned around and disappeared from Swift's arms.

This guy is really not ordinarily smart.
