NBA: The beginning is a championship
Chapter 117
“Ugh!”
With James’ free throw, the double score came to 9:8!
The Cavaliers temporarily led by one point.
But soon the Blazers’ backcourt double guns began to work at the same time, first Lillard first made a 7-point sudden, then McCollum jumper also steadily, and Plumlee on the inside also took rebounds in succession, helping the Blazers get multiple secondary offensive opportunities.
The Blazers’ fiery performance quickly forced the Cavaliers to request a timeout.
Although Lynch on the Cavaliers’ side also hit two three-pointers from James after a timeout, Kevin Love was lost again in this game, hitting five heads and zeros from beyond the three-point line.
This also allowed the Trail Blazers to start to let go of Kevin Love, shrinking the defense indefinitely, limiting the damage caused by James’ impact on the inside.
In this rhythm of the game, the first quarter ended, and the score of the two sides reached 25:17.
The Trail Blazers temporarily ended the first quarter with an eight-point lead.
“The Cavaliers are once again in a bad start, and in the last four games, in addition to a good start against the Heat, their shooting percentage in the other three games in the first quarter can be described as miserable! Except for Lin, the average shooting percentage of the rest of their team members is only a measly 22%! Instead, Lillard played well on the Blazers’ side, scoring 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting in the first quarter! In contrast, Lin was much inferior, and Lin only scored 8 points in the first quarter! Only half of Lillard! ”
During the intermission, Barkley laughed in the commentary booth, and he couldn’t hold back the smile on his face when he saw Lynch not doing well.
Soon, the second quarter began, and the Cavaliers replaced Dellavedova, Kevin Love, and Mozgov with Mo Williams, Richard Jefferson and Tristan Thompson, and in the team’s poor first quarter, Coach Blatter had to keep Lynch and James on the bench.
As soon as the game started, the long-estranged Mo Williams directly received James to assist and hit a three-pointer, helping the Cavaliers stop the decline.
But Crabbe and Meyers Leonard, who had just come off the bench on the Blazers’ side, also hit jumpers, and then CJ McCollum also hit a three-pointer after using cover to get rid of Lynch’s defense, and the Cavaliers’ just approaching point gap was once again opened.
Coach Blatter had to call out the timeout again.
“Wow, Coach Blatter replaced the newly arrived Richard Jefferson with JR Smith, and the Cavaliers sent a five-small lineup similar to the Golden State Warriors, which took the Cavaliers’ offensive ability to the extreme, but there would be huge holes in their defense. You know, Lin and J.R. Smith are players known for their offensive ability, which also means that their defense will become their hole!”
As soon as Kenny Smith’s words fell, Reggie Miller immediately retorted:
“Like you said, this roster of the Cavaliers has a huge offensive firepower, as long as they completely tear the Blazers’ defense to shreds before the Blazers break through their defense, their purpose is achieved! Don’t forget that offense is the best defense! ”
As soon as Reggie Miller’s words fell, JR Smith, who had just appeared, found a shot on the outside, and after receiving the point after Lynch’s breakthrough, his small hand shook and he shot directly from the three.
“Ugh!”
The basketball passes through the net.
32:23。
The Cavaliers trailed by nine points.
The Trail Blazers had the ball, and CJ McCollum dribbled the ball through the halftime and hoisted the basketball into the hands of Plumlee on the inside.
The big man who preceded the game and bold that he wanted to end the Cavaliers’ winning streak here, has already scored 12 points and 6 rebounds in 13 minutes on the game, and Tristan Thompson, who has repeatedly sweetened his head, once again asked for the ball inside.
“Boom!”
Just as Plumlee pushed Tristan Thompson with continuous power from under the basket, ready to finish with a rollover hook.
Lynch slapped the rising basketball the rebound.
“GO!”
Lebraun James roared after grabbing the rebound, and then accelerated to push the fast attack with all his might.
Lynch, who had just finished blocking, quickly ran back, and just outside the three-point line, James passed the ball from the inside to the right hand.
“Ugh!”
When no one can interfere, this kind of three-point is hand-to-hand for Lynch.
32:26。
The Cavaliers are still 6 points behind!
“Wow! The Cavaliers hit two consecutive three-pointers after the timeout! See! Like I said, offense is the best defense, and the Cavaliers managed to save the situation with their offense! ”
Reggie Miller roared excitedly from the commentary booth when he predicted the game successfully.
Although the Trail Blazers were able to hit points in subsequent games, the Cavaliers were also able to respond consistently.
At halftime, the score of both sides came to 56:56!
The Cavaliers relied on the excellent play of Lynch and JR Smith in the second quarter and scored 39 points in the second quarter to tie the score.
During the intermission, the three commentators on the commentary stage did not stop talking.
In addition to Barkley, Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith both believe that the pace of the Cavaliers’ game is the same as in previous games, although the early stage is slow and hot, but when they find the right form, they become the invincible team that won the championship again.
“NO! NO! NO! Never underestimate Damian Lillard! He played only 19 minutes in the first half and already scored 29 points! Hit 5 three-pointers! What a fiery offensive performance, as long as he can continue his current hot form in the second half, the Blazers have a great chance to end the Cavaliers’ winning streak! ”
With Barkley’s loud conclusion, the second half began.
In the first half of the match, after a draw, both sides sent their respective substitutes from the beginning of the second half, so that their starting main players could get more rest.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Blazers made consecutive offensive errors, and after consecutive steals by the Cavaliers, substitutes Dellavedova and Jefferson scored three-pointers.
A 6-0 offensive campaign kicked off the second half and helped the Cavaliers overcome the score.
After Mo Williams broke through the inside again and caused a foul on the Blazers hitter, Blazers coach Stotts decisively called a timeout.
“Damian, CJ, Mason! Get ready to play! ”
Seeing that the team’s bench was easily overwhelmed by the opposing team’s substitutes, Coach Stotts could only send his starting lineup back to the field again.
