The ball in the air drew a beautiful arc, and finally with a brush, it entered the net, and it was a hollow net. Seeing the ball go in, the hand raised in the air, the finger gestured to make a three-point gesture, and ran towards the half-court, the smile on his face was unobstructed.

Apparently Szebiak was very happy with his goal, maybe it was in his imagination? With this goal, the Cavaliers chased the score closer, and they are currently one point behind the Rockets, negligible.

On the Rockets' side, Maddie directly received the out-of-bounds serve from Big Ben, obviously planning to attack it himself. The speed of advancing the half is very slow, although it is very slow, but it is impossible to violate the rule in eight seconds, and this concept of time is still there.

In the half, Maddy did not pass the ball to others, but controlled the ball on the perimeter, and the defender on this court was Kyle Lowry, who had just been traded from the Grizzlies.

Lowry naturally can't have an opinion on Maddy's ball control, or has but definitely doesn't dare to show it, because now he is just a backup guard, and even Brooks starters are ignored, let alone him.

Maddie held the ball and looked at West, who had just come on the field, his eyes were full of disdain, and he didn't look at West at all.

Although West was very annoyed that Maddie looked at him, he also knew what kind of goods he was, and there was really nothing comparable with the other party, but he would not admit defeat so much, and he had to prove that he also had his own strength in front of Maddie, and he was not easily passed, so this would make West look at Maddie with the ball in his hand very intently, and his eyes were also full of determination.

This made Maddie take a look more, but it was just a little more, and he didn't pay attention to such a small one.

Looking at West, Maddie suddenly started without warning, but West, who had been paying a very serious attention, noticed it, and at the same time reacted in time.

It's just that West's defensive reaction seems very slow in Maddy's eyes, and it is not at the same level as the reaction of defensive experts like Battier.

So Maddie once again directly ignored West's defense, directly changed direction with a double, and easily gave West, it can be said that West's defense did not bring any defensive pressure to Maddie at all, as if it was a loophole.

At this time, West behind Maddie seemed very helpless, he thought that he had done a very good job, but in the eyes of the other party, there was no pressure at all, which was very helpless for him. Although he was overcome, he still struggled to catch up, although it was useless to catch up at this time, but attitude is everything, whether it is useful or not, attitude is indispensable, so he resolutely decided to catch up.

Maddie didn't care whether West, who had just passed him, would chase him next, at this time he needed to face Asik, and until now, Asik, who has come off the bench, has been performing very well, and is good at defense and rebounding.

Maddie looked at Asik, who was already ready in front of him, without any hesitation or slowing down, and increased his speed a little bit, heading straight for Asik.

And Asik's body was already tense at this time, ready to defend Maddie all the time. Maddie naturally knows that it is a superstar, although his defense is very good, but in the face of such a superstar, he has no confidence in his heart, which can be said to be a normal performance. After all, it's a superstar, that's Maddie.

Maddie jumped up directly when he was still a little away from Asik, and Asik thought that Maddie was going to block him, and he jumped high.

Just when Asik jumped high, Maddie raised his hand in order to dunk or something, but directly came to an air dodge, dodged Asik's defense in the air, and then made a pull-up layup, successfully hit the ball in, and at the same time Asik's hand also hit Maddie's arm, this is Maddie's conspiracy? Or did Asik fail to control his power and slap Maddie in the arm?

The referee naturally couldn't let go of Asik's action, and Maddie was still a superstar, so it was even more impossible to let go of Asik's action, so the referee directly blew the whistle and blew Asik's thug foul, Asik didn't have any opinion on this, because the ball was indeed a real thug foul.

In this way, Maddie has to go to the free throw line to execute the free throw, and Maddie, who is standing on the free throw line, directly raises his hand and lets go, and easily hits the ball, which is very easy.

Then it was the knight's turn to attack, Huang Jun held the ball to the half, and directly came to a very surprising pass, and it was a pass that hit the ground, and this ground pass even passed the defense of the two, and no one intercepted the ball, which was very unexpected and very incredible.

Directly Huang Jun's pass just now, first hit the ground through the crotch of an outside defender, that is, Lowry's*, and then passed through the armpit of another defender, and was almost stealed when it passed through the defense of the second defender, and it was almost stealed.

In the end, the ball passed to Asik on the inside, and at this time, Asik no longer had any defenders defending him, and Asik received the ball and directly came to a one-handed dunk.

The ball was not tackled, which made the players and fans on the scene look at Huang Jun in disbelief, could it be that this ball was already designed in his mind? The fans at the scene couldn't help but think in their hearts.

However, Huang Jun did not take all this to heart, but turned around and ran towards the half court, re-engaged in a new round of defense.

The final minute or so passed quickly, and when the first quarter ended, the Cavaliers trailed the Rockets by two points at 28-30.

But this is only the first quarter, and it is only two points behind, so the Cavaliers players don't have any pressure on their faces, and some are just a little embarrassed, after all, they have rarely fallen behind in the first quarter since they started playing in this game, so they will put an embarrassed look on their faces.

"Barkley, see no, at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Cavaliers, although it was only the first quarter, but the Rockets proved that they have the strength to defeat the Cavaliers, what do you think?" Kenny Smith finished speaking, looking at Barkley with a smile.

"Hehehe, didn't you say it all, this is only the first verse? And it's only two points behind, in history, more than ten points behind in the third quarter can be reversed, let alone two points at the end of the first quarter, so I don't think the Cavaliers will have any idea about this at all, after all, it's only two points behind" Barkley shot back, clearly unimpressed or dissatisfied with Kenny Smith's statement.

Kenny Smith just smiled at Barkley's words, obviously not surprising at his statement, which was completely expected by him, so Smith's best counterattack was to smile slightly.

Neither of them spoke again, but shifted their gaze to the field, because the game was about to start at this time.

How will the two coaches compete on the court in the second quarter? There was no doubt that Adelman won the first quarter, but Brown didn't take it seriously.

The second quarter begins.

Huang Jun has been replaced, but Brown has also replaced James on the court, and the Rockets do have a full bench lineup, which is obviously a very good opportunity for the Cavaliers to overtake the score or even pull the score away, so during this time, the Rockets did not have Yao Mai present, which was a bold decision.

Obviously, whether the Cavaliers' bench can withstand the Cavaliers with James on the court will be very important, but it is obviously not easy to withstand James with the Cavaliers.

Huang Jun was not on the court, James ran directly over to take Asik's baseline serve, and Gibson next to him did not have any opinion on this, because this has been taken for granted, in the past when there was no Huang Jun, James was like this, so it is not strange, but this is the first time this season, and it has not been like this before.

James, who controlled the ball to the halfcourt, scanned his eyes everywhere, looking for teammates to see if there were good opportunities, although the Rockets were all bench players, but I have to say that their defense is still very good, there are not many defensive holes, and Morey's vision and shrewdness cannot be ignored when this happens.

Seeing this, James had no choice but to break through to see if he could create a good chance, or if he had a chance to score.

James, who hit the basket, faced Big Ben's defense, directly clicked Big Ben up with a false shake, and leaned on him and threw the ball in his hand. At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded, brushed, and the ball went into the net at the same time, two plus one.

Big Ben is helpless about this jadeite, but he is helpless. I could only watch James walk to the free throw line.

James calmly walked to the free throw line, but James had a very bad shooting percentage in terms of free throws, can this ball be scored?

James adjusted, then bent his knees to shoot, boom, the ball smashed directly on the neck of the basket, bounced out and missed, and the rebound was snatched by Ben, who had already been stuck in position under the basket.

This season, as Yao Ming's first substitute, Daben's performance is quite good, completely solving Yao Ming's outside defense and rebounding when he is not on the court, which can be said to be very perfect.

So the trade between the Rockets and the Cavaliers can be said to be a win-win situation, and Big Ben not only completed the task given to him by the coach perfectly, but also gave Yao Ming a lot of rest, which is a very good thing for Yao Ming, which is conducive to getting rid of the bad news of the wonderful injury
