Super Heavy Artillery

The fighting spirit and competitive state displayed by the knights are indeed surprising. Before the finals, few people were optimistic about the Cavaliers. In fact, no one was optimistic about them all season. The Cavaliers collected a lot of veterans in the summer trade, but they failed to produce good results. Although the blood was changed in time in the middle of the season, there was no earth-shaking change. In a sense, James, like him in 2007, led the team to play in the finals alone.

Subsequently, the Thunder finally responded. Westbrook pushed the ball across the center line and handed it to Anlo. After the latter received the ball, he faced JR. After dribbling the ball continuously under his crotch, he suddenly shook his shoulders and made a false move of breaking to the right, withdrew a big step back, pulled up and threw the ball. Although JR rushed forward for the first time, An Luo moved too fast, and he hardly gave An Luo any interference.

"Huh~"

The orange-red ball traversed a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell into the net bag.

4:3, An Luo opened the scoring for the Thunder.

In an instant, the Chesapeake Energy Arena burst into cheers. An Luo also felt the joy in everyone's hearts, and he was also very happy. This is his first goal in the finals! A very historic moment. He doesn't know if any Chinese players have scored in the NBA Finals before, but he feels that he will definitely set many records tonight.

An Luo waved to the fans, then retreated to the other side of the center line to defend. The surrounding fans all sat down and shouted in unison:

"Defence!"

"Defence!"

"Defence!"

...

Hill handed the ball to Love at the top of the arc, who was beaten by Robertson, who turned over in the right elbow and hit a long two-pointer. Although he was injured and retired in the tiebreaker with the Celtics, it seems that Love is in good condition tonight.

However, Westbrook didn't want to see himself, a classmate friend, show off on his own territory. He held the ball beyond the three-point line and drove in from the left under the cover of Adams. His speed was very fast. After misplacement and TT, the latter retreated obviously a little unable to keep up with the rhythm. Westbrook seized this opportunity and scored a layup. And also caused the opponent's foul!

The Cavaliers' defensive strategy is similar to that of the Thunder. They still want to rely on their single point defense to limit the Thunder players. Donovan also saw clearly that his strategy was to mobilize the opponent's defense through constant screens and find opportunities for misplaced singles.

Amidst the cheers, Westbrook stepped to the free-throw line and took the ball easily.

6:6, the two sides drew.

Looking back, James grabbed the ball from the baseline and hit the basket directly. Paul George was sturdy under the cover of Love. Robertson, who had changed defense, rushed over quickly, but at this time James was about to take a shot. He could only give birth to his hand and jumped up sideways. Finally, the two collided.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and Roberson was awarded a defensive foul. I have to say that after James rushed up, he really couldn't stop it. After James got to the free throw line, he made two free throws. Up to now, whether it is sports shots or free throws, his hit rate is 100%!

For a long time that followed, both sides have been in a stalemate. The score rises alternately, and no one can get a clear lead. At the end of the first quarter, both sides began to rotate their lineups. But James once again played the entire quarter. Since the playoffs, James' playing time has increased a lot. Especially in the last two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, he only took a total of 2 minutes of rest! In this game, James' playing time should not be low!

The Cavaliers have always kept James on the court, and Donovan can only keep Paul George on the court. However, in these few minutes, the Thunder did not maintain the previous balance of power and fell into a disadvantage.

In these few minutes, James is more vigorous than before. Whether it is a long shot from beyond the three-point line or a breakthrough to the inside to score, his efficiency is very high. Paul George's defense didn't seem to play a big role. Of course, this is not his problem. There is not much that other Cavaliers players can do on the court. One is to grab rebounds; the other is to screen James to create a chance for him to score; the other is to catch the ball in an open position after James draws the defense away. In short, everything is going on around James.

The most exciting round happened one minute before the end of the game. After Paul George missed a three-pointer, Nance Jr. grabbed a rebound on Kanter's head. Then the ball was passed to James. The latter pushed the ball beyond the three-point line and suddenly accelerated towards the basket. Grant couldn't stand James~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and was pushed all the way to the basket by the opponent. Everyone thought that James would make a layup, but what he didn't expect was that when he pushed to the basket, he directly applied force, his body rose into the air, held the ball in his right hand, and dunked it into the basket.

This ball, James dunked too domineering! Grant seems to be weightless, even if he is already hanging on James, he still can't stop this dunk. Even a foul was paid.

After the dunk, James showed his muscles to the Chesapeake Energy Arena fans. But the response to him was a mixture of cheers and cheers.

Standing on the free throw line, James steadily shot the ball.

At 29:24, the Cavaliers led by 5 points!

The Cavaliers' performance in the first quarter exceeded everyone's expectations. No one thought that the Cavaliers would be defeated immediately, but few thought that they would keep pressing the Thunder. Although James' performance plays a huge role in it, the other Cavaliers are also very good. Although Love scored only 5 points in this quarter, he grabbed 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Especially the cooperation with James is an important reason why the Cavaliers can gain the upper hand. Hill and JR's defense also gave the team enough help.

In the last minute, although Paul George made a three-pointer and won two free throws, the Cavaliers did not let the Thunder recover their lead. James used his best performance to extend his dominance of the game to the end of this quarter.

During the inter-junction break, An Luo looked at James, who was sitting on the Cavaliers' bench, breathing heavily, admiringly. I have to say that the first man in the league is still James. Although the strength of the Cavaliers has declined a lot, but the more so, the more outstanding James's ability.
