On the ESPN commentary bench, Bill Wharton and Drexler analyzed the game.

Drexler highlighted LeBron's recent form: "He looks like he's on a different level, and if the Cavaliers want to win this game, then he has to play like this!"

Bill Wharton agrees.

The two of them also gave a detailed analysis of the entire lineup, focusing on why LeBron James' play would be so important.

It could even be said that the Cavaliers had the only win point of the night.

The discussion between these two people can be described in two words:

Specialized!

Compared to them, TNT's side is much more lively, Kenny Smith and Barkley did not do any pre-match analysis of this game at all, but they focused on a certain point of view that was more popular a few days ago:

LeBron James could have played better team results than Woody only because his teammates weren't as good as Woody.

Woody was luckier than LeBron.

In this regard, Barkley directly and without hesitation retorted:

"Compared to being the champion in '03, is the 5th pick in the first round lucky?"

"Compared to the whole team entering a rebuilding period, the core of the team is a 'prostitute' that other teams are not willing to accept, and it is lucky to have an All-Star player and a teammate who averages 20 plus per game?"

"I would say that when Woody played, everybody was looking at his teammates and saying, 'This guy's strong, this guy's great, but there's one thing that no one thought they could play like that at the start of the new season last year. Instead, all the praise was on someone else, and if I'm not mistaken, according to the pre-game rankings of some media outlets, last season's Cavaliers should have made the playoffs in the top four in the East, but they didn't do it! ”

"When Pat Riley made a decisive decision and completed a very amazing operation, this is when we saw it, and the controversy came!"

"Let's see why it's like this!"

"Ricky Davis is a good ball-handler, but this team needs another guy to practice the ball, so he left, and before he left, this guy never said anything nonsense, and the media said he thought LeBron was here to help him!"

"Then there is the departure of Billy Davis, and the loss of personnel that is even more laughable, Boozer's departure is actually the third year that the Cavaliers management voluntarily gave up his rookie contract, and after Boozer left, he had the shot he wanted in the Jazz and became a high-quality power forward with 17.8 points and 9 rebounds, and we can't even say that his choice was wrong!"

"Is this just because Woody is luckier than LeBron?"

"We should know that Woody's style of play is completely different from last season's style of play, and that's what I want to say!"

"You can be the absolute core in the eyes of the team management, but when your teammates don't want to cooperate with you, you can't be the absolute core, you have to conquer your teammates, it's a process, but with the Cavaliers, we can see that the management interfered in the process too early! Now LeBron James' stats are gorgeous, but don't overlook his average of 42.3 minutes per game and 21.5 shots per game...... What would it look like if that data were Woody's? ”

He was still saying that Kenny Smith next to him was stunned.

He wasn't surprised that Barkley had such a view.

After being a colleague for two or three years, he wouldn't be surprised that the guy next to him now has any genius ideas. But he didn't expect that when was Barkley, was he already "poisoned" so badly?

I don't know, I thought it was Woody's "die-hard fan" who was speaking!

However, thinking carefully about what Barkley said, Kenny Smith couldn't find any reason to refute it, and Woody was indeed in a worse situation than LeBron at the beginning.

If there's one advantage, it's probably that the general manager is Pat Riley.

But as far as he knows, the Cavaliers' departure of Ricky Davis at the beginning actually has a lot to do with the strength of LeBron James's team.

After all, you can't say that Salt Lake City is a better place than Cleveland......

Boozer's departure must be for money, and then the status of the team, and he knows very well that in the Cavaliers, he can only be a foil to LeBron James. It's just that LeBron James's play in the 03~04 season obviously didn't conquer him.

Not up to the height of a team core.

"However, LeBron has been in very good form lately, he should have gotten used to the new scale of this league, and the Cavaliers have won three in a row recently, so maybe he will surprise us in this game......"

As soon as Kenny Smith's words ended, Barkley let out a strange laugh.

In fact, when he was just backstage, Kenny Smith said that LeBron James was going to hang up today, because the Heat team was still very restrained in terms of configuration. As a result, as soon as he came on the court now, he actually said that the Cavaliers might have a surprise in this game.

Really......

Money is hard to earn, is hard to eat!

Always say something insincere.

Fortunately, he had a showdown, and he was "Woody's diehard".

The big screen on the scene gave the lineup on both sides at this time.

The Heat team is the main force to the fullest, and the Cavaliers are LeBron James at the No. 1 position, Jeff McGinnis at the No. 2 position, Ira Newbell at the No. 3 position, Drew Gooden at the No. 4 position, and Big Z at the No. 5 position!

At the beginning of the new season, there were voices that LeBron James could move to the No. 3 position, and the Cavaliers management's acquisition of Snow from the Philadelphia 76ers trade seems to indicate this.

But in the end, LeBron James stayed at the No. 1 spot and didn't move to the No. 3 spot.

Since the beginning of the new season, LeBron James has improved significantly, averaging 27.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game, shooting 42.4% from the field.

Compared to the stats of his rookie season, the average score per game is a full 7 points higher!

Of course, he also averaged about two or three more shots per game, making 21.1 shots per game.

That's almost 10 more than the team's second-most shot-winning big Z!

From these statistics, it can be seen that LeBron James is now the absolute boss of the Cavaliers, in any way. It's just that while the data has skyrocketed, LeBron James has not brought any significant changes to the Cavaliers' record, even after the recent three-game winning streak, the Cavaliers are only ranked tenth in the East, 2 wins away from the ninth in the East, and 4 wins away from the 8th place in the East, compared to the current Heat team that is the first in the East, the gap is even greater, and it has exceeded 7 wins.

So just looking at the rankings of the two teams, the suspense of this game is not very big.

The main reason why the gimmick is full is because of the strong dialogue between Woody and LeBron.

In addition, there are some fantasies of a group of "royalists" led by the Cleveland media:

If LeBron James keeps up with the previous games, he might be able to pull off a miracle on his home turf.

They dare to say it, and so do the Cleveland people!

Of course, last season's game against the Heat was a real disgrace, losing by almost 150 points in three games, and the Cleveland people now regard the Heat as a "mortal enemy". In addition, LeBron James and Woody have always been competitive, so right now, they are even more eager for LeBron James and the Cavaliers to pull back a game and make them happy.

Thinking about LeBron James' recent form, they feel like this is a time like this that is likely to happen tonight.

Big Z successfully snatched the first attack for the Cavaliers.

made a good start, attracting cheers from the audience one after another.

LeBron James took the ball to the frontcourt, faced Alston and opted for a direct strong attack.

The 19-year-old LeBron looks stronger again, and standing in front of Alstom, you can't even tell which of these two people is 19 years old and who is 26 years old.

"Phew!"

As soon as it bounced off, LeBron James rushed straight to the Heat's interior like a "tank car".

In the past, LeBron rushing to the interior with a top defender was a violent dunk.

No one could stand in his way.

But that's the old ......

Tonight looks a little different.

As soon as LeBron James rushed to the free throw line, a "mountain of meat" in front of him blocked the way.

Shaq O'Neill stood in front of him early, waiting for him to bump into him and have a confrontation.

LeBron James has always been confident enough in his matchups, but looking at Shaq O'Neal, he ......

Cowardly!

Turning around, he found his teammate and passed the ball.

But what he didn't notice was that there were a pair of eyes next to him that had been watching his movements, and when he just made a movement to throw the ball, the figure immediately moved sideways, cutting off his pass.

It's No. 95 for the Heat, Woody!

"It seems that the Heat have carefully studied LeBron's passing habits and passing routes!"

Woody made a steal as soon as he came up, and Bill Wharton made a guess.

Drexler next to him nodded.

In fact, it can be seen not only from here, but also the position of Shaq O'Neal just now, as well as the beginning of Alstom and LeBron's confrontation, and the Heat's failure to arrange timely defense, it can be seen that the Heat team has done enough homework on LeBron.

I'm afraid this game is going to target LeBron James's nutritious meal.

LeBron saw that his pass was intercepted and hurried back to defense.

The historic physical talent was activated, and the whole person bounced back like a cannonball, keeping up with Woody at a very fast speed.

Woody turned his head as he slack, taking in the movements of LeBron James, but he didn't back down, but quickened his pace even more.

This is to ......

A showdown of physical talents?

LeBron, who didn't want Woody to take the lead, chose to fight to the death.

His explosiveness is truly terrifying.

Even Woody failed to open the gap with him, and at the moment when Woody jumped, LeBron James jumped up and defended in time.

But in the next second when Woody and LeBron were in the air, Woody "didn't look at the return pass", and the other side, which never touched, threw the ball behind.

As if it was equipped with a locator, the ball spun and bounced, and landed behind LeBron with a little curve.

There......

It's the Heat's No. 3 Wade!

With the ball in hand, Wade looked at LeBron's back, he had been chasing the animal just now, but he couldn't catch up.

But now with the ball in his hand, he knows very well that the buddy is going to create a big scene!

"Phew!"

With both hands together and his feet bounced up, Wade's whole body flew high, like a gliding bird, holding the ball with one hand, in front of him, LeBron's body began to fall without success in Woody, and at this time, he raised his hand to hold the ball just enough to have space close to the basket.

LeBron James also felt that there was some "black cloud overwhelm", the chrysanthemum was not guaranteed, and the thoughts in his heart were left:

When you hit the ground, you will flash to the side.

Pity......

Before he could land.

"Phew!"

Wade has already completed all kinds of "buckles" above his head!

The Cleveland people at the scene became quiet in this impactful picture, they never expected that the first goal of the day would be such a goal.

Whispers filled the entire Quickfinance Arena.

LeBron James, who was "* Ju", landed on the ground because of Wade's impact, and his steps staggered and looked embarrassed.

Wade, who followed the landing, excitedly took the "overlord step".

Then he immediately ran towards Woody and high-fived him.

Refreshing!

It's so cool!

Shaq O'Neal looks like he's got a hell of a face, and if it's a slam dunk contest, he's going to let someone else go home again.

The Heat bench was all on their feet, making such a fuss that they almost stepped on the line and fouled, ate a technical foul, and Stan Van Gundy was quick to stop them.

The atmosphere of the scene became extraordinarily quiet because of the noise of these people.

Their silence was deafening.

Some Cleveland people who aren't in a good state of mind have recalled three nights last season when they were dominated by the Heat.

No......

As soon as we came up, we made our "Tianjiao" like this, and our "Tianjiao" didn't want to lose face?

LeBron James stood in place with a slight pain and waited for his teammate to serve, while throwing a resentful look at Wade.

Isn't this guy not talking about "brotherhood" at all?

He and Wade got along well with the national team this summer, and he thought he had a good relationship with Wade?!

How to ...... now?

Buckle it up, don't talk about it at all?

Thinking about the appearance of Wade as soon as he scored a goal in the national team, he really felt that his formation was fed to the dog.

In a trance, he seemed to hear Wade shouting at him:

LeBron, push it, my Woody husband has no strength.

LeBron James wants to get back on the court, just look at where the Heat stand.

Shaq O'Neal is always ready to go to the "reasonable collision zone", while Woody and Gerald Wallace are "one left and one right", ready to follow Shaq O'Neal at any time.

Under this basket is a big net called "Please enter the urn"!
