NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

As the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, both teams sent their centre-forwards to jump the ball in the midfield. However, since the Spurs made Sochan the team's starting center, they have basically given up the first-round possession through the jump ball.

When Sohan saw Aaron, who was a head taller than him, he didn't jump with all his strength, but only stretched out his hand symbolically.

Allen easily got possession of the ball for the Cavaliers and tossed the ball into Mitchell's hands.

Mitchell, who received the ball, did not pause, taking advantage of the gap between the Spurs' defensive formation and suddenly accelerating, and went straight to the Spurs' basket.

Vassell, who was responsible for defending him, was caught off guard and could only watch Mitchell easily enter his own box, then leap high and dunk the ball into the basket before Sochan could make up his defense.

The visual effect brought by this ball was extremely explosive, which also made the audience at the scene enter a boiling state at the beginning of the game, and stood up from the audience to cheer for Mitchell's dunk.

Mitchell enjoyed the sensation and raised his hands twice to signal the audience to shout louder. The cheers of the fans mixed with the cheers of the fans, forming a wave of sound, allowing the Spurs players to experience the opponent's home field advantage.

Chang Tiancheng took Sochan's serve and began to dribble the ball to the Cavaliers' half. This time, the Cavaliers didn't adopt the previous Hawks' defensive strategy, allowing one guard to lead the whole game. Of course, the main reason is actually that the Cavaliers' two outside defensive abilities are really average, since Murray, the former best defensive team player, has nothing to do with Chang Tiancheng, then letting Mitchell or Garland defend Chang Tiancheng like this is just simply consuming their physical strength, it is better to let them leave all their physical strength on the offensive end and fight against the Spurs.

In fact, after two games after the trade to get Chang Tiancheng, almost all teams have reached a consensus that it is impossible to limit Chang Tiancheng on the defensive end, and if they want to win against the Spurs, it seems that there is only one way to go against them.

However, even if the Cavaliers' outside line doesn't focus too much on defending Chang Tiancheng, their interior line can still cause a lot of problems for the Spurs.

The Spurs' current starting lineup can be said to be a lineup that takes offense to the extreme, but at the cost of their double interior is too short. Although in the current era of small ball, facing most teams' interior lines will not seem so disadvantaged, but the Cavaliers' two interior lines are tall and arm monsters, which makes the Spurs have little way to instigate offense through the interior.

Chang Tiancheng lowered his center of gravity at the top of the arc, slowly dribbled the ball to the three-point line step by step, and was about to find a breakthrough angle, but found that McDermott suddenly used a false running position without the ball to confuse LeVert, who was responsible for defending him, and ran from the bottom corner to the 45-degree three-point line.

After McDermott received the ball, LeVert made a decisive shot in the face of the chasing defense, and the basketball gently crossed LeVert's fingertips and entered the basket steadily, without even bringing the net flower, which is enough to show how accurate this shot is.

At 2:3, the two teams each kicked off the offensive battle with an iconic goal.

Garland came to the Spurs' half with the ball, and then called Mobley to block for him, so as to shake off Chang Tiancheng's defense and go directly to the Spurs' interior.

Although Keldon, who switched over, was much lower than Mobley, he was fortunately relatively fast, and quickly stepped forward to stick to Garland and block his breakthrough route.

But by this time, Mobley was already standing under the Spurs' basket and raising his hand to ask for the ball. Seeing this, Garland immediately hoisted the ball over.

At this time, Mobley faced Chang Tiancheng behind him, turned around directly, played high, and put the ball into the basket lightly.

And Sochan originally wanted to go over to help Chang Tiancheng help defend it, but he was stuck on the other side of the basket by Allen, and he could only watch Mobley score two points.

Chang Tiancheng advanced to the Cavaliers' half with the ball, his eyes constantly swept around several of his teammates, trying to find an offensive opportunity like the assist McDermott just now, but this time the Cavaliers' defense was very focused and did not give Chang Tiancheng the angle of passing.

In desperation, Chang Tiancheng had to call Suo Han to block and dismantle for himself, and after bypassing Sohan's defense, facing Aaron who changed his defense, Chang Tiancheng first broke through in a straight line like the left front, and then shook off Aaron with a change of direction, and hit the basket with the ball.

Although Allen was left behind by Chang Tiancheng, Mobley's sense of assistance defense was very in place, and the moment he saw Chang Tiancheng pass Allen, Mobley was already standing under the basket waiting for Chang Tiancheng's breakthrough.

Seeing that Mobley had already stood in a defensive position, Chang Tiancheng jumped first, pretending that he planned to continue to rush the frame, causing Mobley to raise his hands and try to block.

Then, Chang Tiancheng threw the ball down and accurately found Keldon, who was standing on the left side of the basket and staggered a short distance from Mobley.

After Keldon received the ball, he jumped directly, intending to use Mobley's attention to complete the dunk directly at the moment when Chang Tiancheng was on him.

But Allen, who had been shaken by Chang Tiancheng before, had returned to the defense, and after Kelden jumped, Allen stretched out his big hand and pressed Keldon's dunk directly on the rebound.

Mobley picked up the rebound on Chang Tiancheng's head, and then made a long pass with both hands and threw the ball towards the Spurs' halfcourt.

Mitchell deserves to be the team's leading scorer, and after seeing Allen complete the block, he keenly spotted this scoring opportunity, so when everyone's attention was still focused on the rebounding ball, he had already begun to move towards the Spurs' half, ready to play a fast break at any time.

After receiving Mobley's pass, Mitchell took a deep breath and then jumped straight near the free-throw line to complete another crisp, stretchy dunk.

The audience also gave bursts of applause and cheers to Mitchell, and the fans loved to watch this kind of offensive battle the most, not to mention that their own team still had the upper hand at this moment.

6:3, the Cavaliers showed a completely different competitive state from the two teams the Spurs had encountered before from the beginning, giving the Spurs a dismount.
