The Cavaliers are currently on a trip to the West, playing a total of four games from December 8 to December 13, and the Grizzlies and Rockets are back-to-back, and the Cavaliers have lost in a down-to-back.

However, in the last game against the Trail Blazers, LeBron James scored 37 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in 14-of-24 shooting, leading the team to victory and ending a two-game losing streak.

Tonight's game against the Thunder is the last game of the Western Conference tour, and the Cavaliers are highly motivated, broadcast live across the United States, and go home after the game, these two conditions make the players extremely excited.

LeBron James, as a front-facing player with a Jordan script and the league's strong support, also performed very well in the pre-game interview:

"The Thunder are number one in the West, they have a lot of talent, Kevin, Kayce, Russell have played so well this season, they will definitely succeed in the future!"

"Of course, I'm going to give it my all tonight and try to win this game and come back to Cleveland with a win!"

Li Ze thinks that no matter what LeBron James will say behind his back, at least the other party will definitely be a qualified surface brother.

Py trades, business blows, LeBron James' talent crushes Durant and Turtles, these two are sometimes really scolding reporters, and the Thunder's press officers have reminded them several times...

ESPN's live commentators Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson were also discussing their recent results ahead of the game.

"I'll admit that I was a little wrong with my previous opinion, I underestimated the young Thunder, 18-3, which is a great record!"

"And, after watching their last game against the Grizzlies, I don't think Kayce should be considered a rookie anymore, because the Grizzlies can't limit him from the outside."

Van Gundy Jr. directly admitted that he was wrong before, and he didn't want to be frequently @ by some Thunder fans on Twitter.

"Alright, man, let's talk about this game again, do you fancy the Cavaliers to win? The combination of LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal played very well in the last game. ”

Mark Jackson once again threw up the topic to warm up for this game.

"It's up to LeBron James to play, and when he can score efficiently and drive his teammates, the Cavaliers become unstoppable, and I think the Cavaliers will win because no one can limit James."

Van Gundy Jr. gave his prediction before the game.

"Do you think Kevin, Kayce, Jeff Green can't stop LeBron James?"

"I have a different opinion on this, I think the outside of the Cavaliers can't withstand the attack of the Thunder trio, and the Thunder will win the game in the end!"

Mark Jackson began to sing about the show, and the audience didn't buy it.

"Then let's wait and see! We got the starting lineup before the game, and the two teams are still in the regular rotation. ”

"The Cavaliers have Morris Williams and Anthony Parker in the backcourt, LeBron James and JJ Hickson up front, and Shaquy O'Neal in the center."

"The Thunder have Russell Westbrook and Kayce-Li in the backcourt, Kevin Durant and Jeff Green on the front line, and Sapo Kostic at center."

"In fact, the No. 4 position in this game is also a highlight, Jeff Green's low post defense is very difficult, but on the offensive end, it can effectively open up space, I believe this will be a very interesting matchup."

Van Gundy Jr. once again threw out a highlight, a different type of power forward matchup.

"As Jeff said, it's going to be a good game indeed! Both teams have already played! The fans in the city are so enthusiastic! ”

......

The live DJ at Ford Center was shouting about the home team.

When Li Ze, Turtle and Durant played, the atmosphere was even hotter, and the fans of the Russian city sent huge cheers for their star of the house.

However, Li Ze noticed a very interesting point, when the Cavaliers' LeBron James came out, there were scattered cheers in the audience.

"It is worthy of being the future face of the alliance, and the popularity is indeed too high!"

As soon as the singing session ended, Coach Brooks hurriedly pulled the players to make a final admonition:

"Rebounding, protect the rebound, I don't want to see the Cavaliers' second offense, on the offensive end, play more pick-and-rolls at the No. 5 position, get moving, guys, do a good job of transferring the ball."

The game began immediately, and after a brief greeting from both players, Kostic and O'Neill came to the centre circle to jump the ball.

"Wow, O'Neal jumped to the ball for the Cavaliers, and it looks like he's in good shape this game!"

Mark Jackson couldn't help but let out an exclamation when he saw O'Neal actually jump to beat Kostic.

In this game, Li Ze faced veteran Anthony Parker, who averaged 10.7 points per game and shot 39% from three-point range with the Toronto Raptors last game.

Just transferred to the Cavaliers this season and became a knife guard next to the little emperor.

The Cavaliers attacked, and after Mo Williams dribbled past half court, he immediately handed the ball to LeBron James to organize the offense.

In the face of Durant's defense, after three threats, the left-handed solid ball suddenly changed direction in front of the body, carrying Durant and began to accelerate the breakthrough.

After bursting into the penalty area, he faked a real pass to O'Neal under the basket, who faced Kostic's defense, leaned on it, and put the basket with his left hand.

"Durant has to pay attention to his defense, once LeBron James bursts into the restricted area, then the Cavaliers will score easily!"

Van Gundy Jr. briefly talked about Durant's defensive problems.

Since entering the NBA league and facing LeBron James, Durant has been very depressed, knowing that the other party wants to break through him, but he just can't stop him.

LeBron James simply changed direction in front of his body and shook off Durant by a small step, and then relied on his physical strength advantage to always block Durant at his side.

The first attack in the opening game failed to be blocked, and Durant slapped his hand in annoyance.

"Kevin, it's okay, stick to our defensive strategy!"

When serving, Li Ze comforted Durant with a loud voice, and the Thunder's coaching staff naturally knew that a single defense could not prevent LeBron James.

Therefore, the defensive strategy of this game is to put singles and cut off James from his teammates.

In the offensive round of the Thunder team, the turtle quickly dribbled through the half court, and immediately found that the outside defense of the Cavaliers was all on the three-point line, and the hand-to-hand pass was very strong.

Naturally, head coach Mike Brown and his coaching staff studied the Thunder's tactical play and started with a targeted defense.

Especially LeBron James's defense of Durant, covering without the ball, pushing Durant out and not giving him a chance to receive the ball at the waist position.

Li Ze noticed that the team's tactics did not run out, and went directly to the outside of the three-point line to receive the ball, and at the same time motioned for Kostic to come over to block the dismantle.

Accelerated with the ball in his left hand to break away from Anthony Parker's defense, noticing O'Neal's choice to crouch and dribble two long steps before making a pull-up jump shot near the free throw line.

"Whew...", a steady hit from mid-range.

Li Ze, who returned to the defense, noticed that LeBron James was constantly communicating with Anthony Parker, which should have made the other party speed up the speed of squeezing through the cover, after all, the old shark really can't come out...

After Mo Williams quickly dribbled past half court, JJ Hickson immediately stepped up to block and dismantle, while also pulling up space for O'Neal on the inside to play singles.

After being drafted by the Cavaliers with the 19th pick in the first round in '08, JJ Hickson is still playing the role of a bag boy on the team, a pure tool man on the offensive end.

Williams escaped the Turtle's defense with a pick-and-roll and immediately hoisted the ball into O'Neal's hands, which was successful in the low post.

The latter faced Kostic's defense, walked up to the line with the ball in his right hand and took a big step before immediately turning around and closing the ball, and after carrying the defense with his body, the rhythm changed, and he easily scored the ball.

After the goal, O'Neal also made a funny face at the camera under the basket before he began to slowly retreat.

"Shhhhh

This was a somewhat provocative gesture that caused the crowd at Ford Center to immediately erupt in huge boos.

"Wow! The physical Sharks still have a lot of destructive power under the basket, and the Thunder's interior defense should be careful. ”

When Mark Jackson saw O'Neal's wonderful performance, he immediately sang the praises of the old shark again.

"Russell, play more 5 tactics!"

When Turtle Turtle dribbled past half court, Li Zeah made tactical gestures to his teammates, and then loudly reminded Turtle Turtle that it was time to increase his aggressiveness.

It was still the pick-and-roll at the No. 5 position, Kostic was raised, the turtle raised his center of gravity, broke through on the left, and Williams deftly squeezed through the pick-and-roll.

But as he was on the move, the turtle suddenly changed direction in front of his body, and then made a mid-range pull-up jump shot from the free throw line.

The shot was a little stiff, but it was still steady.

After Li Ze's [Organization Core] badge was upgraded to silver, the turtle's closest mid-range projection also stabilized, so Li Ze felt that he could start from the turtle and gradually increase the pace of the game.

"Mo Williams' defense should also be vigilant, Russell has the ability to shoot from mid-range!"

Van Gundy Jr. thinks the Cavaliers have a problem with the pick-and-roll.

LeBron James felt the Thunder's defensive strategy when he was attacking, all of them were single defenses, and the Thunder's outside defense was almost infinitely changing.

After two consecutive pick-and-rolls, he switched to Jeff Green to defend, and there were about 10 seconds left in the offensive time.

After LeBron James dribbles under his hip outside the three-point line, his left hand changes direction in front of his body.

Carrying Jeff Green's defense, he held the ball in his right hand, accelerated in a straight line, broke through to the restricted area, and then flicked his wrist lightly and picked up the ball with his right hand.

Although the dribbling action looks a little stiff, the final moment of the layup, the fingers and wrists are very soft.

"Wonderful break, LeBron easily scored the ball under Jeff Green's defensive interference!"

Mark Jackson loudly praised LeBron James' breakthrough.

Li Ze watched with envy from the sidelines, this is the tank breakthrough he has always longed for, it doesn't need too much shaking, as long as the first step of the breakthrough jams the opponent's half of the body, you can directly run it under the basket.

"This physical fitness is open, the breakthrough is like a locomotive, and it rushes in with a whin, but the end feels very soft."

Li Ze complained in his heart while encouraging Jeff Green.

"That's what we're going to do, Green, there's no problem with your defense! If you have a chance on the outside, you must also shoot resolutely! ”

"Man, noticed? The Thunder's offense, every time Kayce makes tactical gestures, and on the court, he is the one who makes a lot of noise, which is a very interesting phenomenon, and the rookie is in control of the team. ”

Van Gundy Jr. began to decipher the details of the start.

"Actually, Kayce and LeBron's style of play is very similar, they can both lead their teammates better, but LeBron's physical talent is better! Oh! Look at the ball first, wonderful Cross over! ”

Mark Jackson was just halfway through his words when he suddenly let out an exclamation.

This offense, Li Ze received Durant's breakthrough ball, and after three threats, he put the ball with his left hand, adjusted his footsteps, changed direction under his crotch, and pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand, and quickly pulled back.

The bonus effect of the silver badge [Ankle Terminator] + [Master of the Ball] is significant, and Anthony Parker is directly shaken down.

At this time, Li Ze accelerated to the penalty area with the ball in his left hand, noticed JJ Hickson's defensive retreat, faked a real pass, jumped in the air, and found Jeff Green in the bottom corner.

After the latter received the ball, he made an open three-point jumper.

"Hmmm..."A three-pointer was scored.

"Oh!! Wow!! ”

The audience at the scene first exclaimed after seeing Li Ze shake down Anthony Parker, and when Jeff Green made a three-point shot, they all screamed, it was so exciting!

"With a wonderful dribble rhythm and a wide passing vision, Kayce played around with the Cavaliers' defense, and today's top 10 balls were born!"

Mark Jackson was firing on his firepower and loudly praising Lee.

For the rest of the first quarter, LeBron James began to fire at full power, still blocking and attacking, but no matter who defended, he was extremely resolute.

Li Ze also experienced the power of the tank breakthrough, the [Ankle Pad] + [Marking Master] badges were all invalid, James did not dribble with bells and whistles at all, and his strong body was not afraid of confrontation.

You can crush and break through with your body, and Li Ze's defensive badge is completely useless.

By the end of the first quarter, 29-27, the Thunder led by 2 points, and although LeBron James scored 14 points efficiently, he only delivered two assists, and the Cavaliers shot 0 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter.

At the intermission, Li Ze, Durant, and Jeff Green on the Thunder bench were not in a high mood, and the single defense was blown up by James in the first quarter, and no one would be in a good mood.

"Shet! This guy should go to play rugby, it's useless to put a step in defense! ”

For the reason for the alignment, Durant spent most of the first quarter defending James, but naturally he couldn't prevent it, and in addition, the offensive end was also limited by James, so that he could rarely catch the ball in his shooting hot zone.

"It's okay, Kevin, we can accept James scoring alone, that's our strategy."

Li Ze hurriedly comforted Durant, there are still three quarters of the game, and the mentality must be adjusted at this time.

Jeff Green doesn't want to talk anymore, he really didn't care much about defense in the first two years, but this year's results are good, but he has become a small colander...

"Alright, boys, stick to our defensive strategy and don't get affected by James' individual offense!"

Coach Brooks was very happy with the content of the first quarter, and he believed that LeBron James alone could not beat the Thunder.

On the Cavaliers bench, head coach Mike Brown has spotted that things are not going well on the court, and the Cavaliers have too few assists.

Mo Williams struggled to organize an effective offense in the face of the Thunder's infinite defensive changes, and most of the Cavaliers' few assists were inside.

Faced with this situation, head coach Mike Brown directly used his ultimate tactic, giving the ball to James while increasing James' playing time.

"LeBron, allocate your energy, we need you to play more time, come on, guys, we're tired of logging!"

Coach Mike Brown first sent out a bowl of thick chicken soup, and then took out the tactical board and drew again, but the core tactical idea is to give the ball to James...

In the next game, Li Ze, who played, almost doubted his life, is this LeBron James? Is 1.0 Jen so scary?

Perhaps it was the Thunder's single-defense strategy that completely angered the opponent, LeBron James was full of firepower, scoring 12 points in the second quarter, shooting inside and out, and scoring three-pointers.

The third quarter was even more terrifying, with 4 of 5 three-pointers and 15 points, and the three quarters were over, and the two sides were tied at 80.

LeBron James exploded with 41 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the third quarter, and James who cut off the passing button was terrifying...

Coach Mike Brown was also in a mood watching from the sidelines, what is a master tactician?

"Give the ball to the best guy on the field, it's so easy to use!"

During the interval, Li Ze drank water and sighed secretly in his heart:

"Why did it become the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu? This script is not quite right, I feel like I have become a villain! ”

The Thunder trio still maintained their output, with Li Ze scoring 16 points, Durant 18 points, and Turtle Turtle 16 points, and the trio combined for 50 points, withstanding James' terrifying individual play.

"LeBron James's ultimate individual performance, today he felt hot on the outside, and he managed to resist the Thunder's trio alone!"

Mark Jackson has been singing praises for James in this game, and the Thunder have completely become villains in his mouth...

"But LeBron's fitness will be an issue in the fourth quarter, and the Cavaliers need someone else to step up and share the offensive pressure on James."

Van Gundy Jr. also began to speak for James, and the perfect individual offensive performance will always be loved by everyone.

In the fourth quarter of the game, there were some small changes to the lineups of both sides, the Thunder replaced Kostic and took Ibaka, and the Cavaliers replaced O'Neal and took Vallejo, and both sides increased the mobility of the interior.

The Cavaliers attacked, LeBron James and Vallejo's blocking, Vallejo's down, and was successfully defended by Ibaka, but he had no choice but to hand it over to the outside line and reorganize the offense.

In the end, James saw that there was not much time left for the offense, and against Li Ze's defense, he directly came to a retreat for three points.

"Bang...", iron.

Ibaka protected the rebound, the Thunder breathed a sigh of relief to everyone, and they were really a little unbearable to enter again, and the emotions of the audience at the Ford Center Arena were all beaten by James...

Li Ze felt that the boss of the team had to stand up at this time, so in the offensive round, he switched James to himself after blocking and dismantling, and at the same time signaled his teammates to open up space.

At the top of the arc outside the three-point line, after Li Ze continuously dribbled under his crotch, he suddenly started, his center of gravity dropped, and his left-handed dribble accelerated to break through, directly getting rid of LeBron James's defense.

In the face of Valejo's block, he didn't dodge, his feet jumped, his body was bent into a big bow, and the exaggerated one-armed tomahawk was heavily buckled!

Vallejo was knocked out of the air.

"Oh!! I think it's going to be the best dunk of the year! ”

Van Gundy Jr. and Mark Jackson exclaimed in surprise at the same time when they saw Li Ze's partition.

"Roar!!"

Li Ze, who succeeded in dunking, first beat his chest and roared, and then immediately came to the sidelines, signaling the audience to be restless together.

"Ahh Wow!! ”

The Ford Center Arena was completely ignited by this dunk, and this exaggerated dunk has always been a favorite of the audience.

After the successful dunk, several people on the Thunder court were also extremely excited, and the turtle and Durant also jumped on the side to drive the emotions of the audience.

In the following games, the Thunder's passion was ignited, the outside defense became more and more oppressive, and most importantly, everyone felt it, and LeBron James's physical fitness began to decline.

After the tank broke through, it also hit the iron continuously, and after leading by 6 points, Li Ze breathed a sigh of relief in his heart:

"You take the data, I'll leave the victory, the tank breakthrough is really terrifying... How the hell can I prevent this? ”
