Lakers and Cavaliers, the earliest rivalry began in the 07-08 season. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, the Cavaliers had just reached the Finals last season, and although they were bald by the Spurs, they were already the strongest team in the East, and the original Celtics Big Three were not favored when they first formed the Big Three because of the Lakers' Big Four defeat.

At that time, the Lakers played well at the beginning of the 07-08 season because of their excellent performance at the end of the 06-07 season, ranking first in the West before getting Gasol, and then going further after getting Gasol.

Kobe Bryant vs James, 23vs24 was also promoted by Adam Silva, who was still vice president, at the league headquarters meeting as the NBA's biggest selling point.

Now, the Lakers and Cavaliers are in direct opposition to each other, and the two teams are likely to be the best teams in their respective divisions this year, and the teams most likely to meet in the Finals, Liu Ren and James have begun to compete for the league's No. 1 small forward, adding endless highlights to the game.

Coupled with the league's strong pursuit of Liu Ren and the constant promotion of 23vs24, the last meeting between the two teams in the regular season this season is regarded as a preview of the finals!

Before the game, James also said in an interview: "This season's Eastern Conference schedule is very intense, we can't easily lose any game now, try to win more wins to have a better ranking in the playoffs!" And we lost last time, and we won't make a mistake again this time! ”

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant also said before the game: "The Cavaliers have been playing well lately, but we are the strongest, I am eager to play against LeBron, I don't care much about the winning streak and any winning record." ”

Seeing Kobe Bryant's high-spirited appearance, the reporters all rolled their eyes.

The devil will believe Kobe's words, you paranoid don't care?

After the pre-match event, the starting lists of both sides were placed on the big screen.

The Lakers' starters are Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside.

The starting lineup on the Cavaliers' side is Irving, Witesse, James, Love, and Mozgov.

Gasol was put on the bench in today's game, firstly, the Cavaliers are now very powerful inside, and after adding Mozgov, they all have Tristan Thompson, who is rumored to take 85 million for 5 years, on the bench.

Second, in fact, the point is that Love and Mozgov are too strong, Green himself is very tough, but his body is too limited, and it is enough to deal with Love alone, Gasol will definitely be squeezed by Mozgov, so let the strongest Whiteside play the starter, and Gasol will bully the Cavaliers to replace the center.

Whiteside and Mozgov came to the center circle to jump the ball, and no one thought that Mozgov, a big guy, would bounce well! Whiteside actually lost the jump ball.

Whiteside looked at the seemingly bulky Mozgov with a shocked gaze, but he didn't expect this big man to be a little similar to the Warriors' Bogut, and he hadn't noticed it before.

"It's not that easy to deal with......"

The basket fell into Irving's hands, and the Cavaliers attacked first.

It was Owen who controlled the ball, and it was Liu Ren who defended him.

Although he was very unhappy with Owen's arrogance before the start of the game, and wanted to teach this champion of the same year a hard lesson, Liu Ren did not underestimate Owen because of this, but paid more attention to it.

James didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball this time, and Kobe Bryant, who defended him, did a good job, and the excellent move card cut off the space for James to run back.

James looked at the Lakers' defensive formation and made gestures for his teammates to press down the tempo.

The Cavaliers are very similar to the previous Big Three Heat, that is, they like to play fast!

Whether it is James' habit of defending and counterattacking, or Irving's style of play, the pace is relatively fast, and the Lakers' defense is obviously arranged in this direction.

As the coach of the Cavaliers on the court, James understands the opposing defense better than many head coaches, and the Cavaliers listen to him.

Irving directed his teammates to run, and the Cavaliers opened with a low-post tactic, the purpose of which was obviously to press the tempo.

Mozgov was covered by Love and went to the low post, and then Irving went over and hoisted the basketball firmly into Mozgov's hands.

Mozgov's big man looks no worse than Whiteside, the first ball is strong!

Whiteside is also ready to take the onslaught and be ready for battle.

Mozgov then took the ball and spun around, jumped and hooked Whiteside's head to give the Cavaliers the lead.

It's not a particularly powerful skill, it's just that he caught Whiteside off guard, and the center used a jumping hook, which made Whiteside a little stunned.

Whiteside lost to Mozgov on the inside in the opening game, but it was just a little careless.

Whiteside has been able to rise rapidly in the past two years, in addition to having a good mentality, but also becoming very hard-working, studying the opponent a lot, and striving to become the best center.

Whiteside also studied Mozgov, but because he was not too strong, he just looked at Mozgov's highlights.

What is a highlight is the performance of the best play, which generally highlights the toughness of the player or something positive.

With Mozgov's size, the highlights are naturally one of the few inside dunks in his career.

However, there are not many of them, and they have been playing for several years, and there are still more than a dozen strong dunks, plus the jump ball win at the beginning, which makes Whiteside think that Mozgov is a ruthless character.

But Mozgov's first attack left Whiteside speechless, what a soft guy this guy is! Jumping hook is a trick for those little people who usually don't reach 1.9 meters!

The Cavaliers don't play fast and want to press the rhythm, but the Lakers don't do this, they just want to play the pace fast, and they want to drag down the two bulky big men of the Cavaliers by fast pace.

Almost at the first moment when Mozgov's offense was completed, Green immediately picked up the ball, exited the baseline and served directly, and the Lakers, including Whiteside, all five of them countered the fast break!.

The Lakers counterattacked regardless of whether the opponent scored or not, and the purpose of playing fast was very obvious, and when the basketball came out, Clarkson immediately controlled the ball and quickly advanced to the front.

The Lakers' fast attack was extremely fast, and almost when the Cavaliers ran back, the Lakers had already bitten the opponent's ass and chased after them.

And the Lakers not only caught up, but also fell into a very scattered formation.

Tearing apart the opponent's defense at once, Clarkson passed the ball to Liu Ren on one side as soon as he arrived in the front court.

Liu Ren took the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and when he got the ball, the Cavaliers' defensive attention immediately focused on him.

At this time, Liu Ren stopped outside the three-point line, as if he was going to chase down the three points, the Cavaliers' defense was instantly chaotic, and the three people who were not familiar with each other in defense, Love and James, and Mozgov, who was difficult to chase back, were sandwiched over, at this time Whiteside cut into the middle line, and Liu Ren threw the ball to the basket......

Whiteside Violent Air Pick-up!

"Hey, big white soft, this is the offense!" This is Whiteside's heart, although he didn't say it, but the look in his eyes at Mozgov meant this!
