The game started. In the jump ball, Adams took the lead in getting the ball, and the ball flew into the hands of Westbrook, and the Thunder started the first offense of the game.

The Thunder's starting lineup revolves entirely around Durant and Westbrook, which has proven to be a very powerful combination.

At the beginning of the game, Durant came out of the bottom line, received a pass from Westbrook, and made a mid-range jumper, but failed to hit.

JR-Smith got the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Paul George.

After the start of the new season, the combination of George and James has become more sophisticated.

George did a lot of practice on his shooting in the summer to improve his three-point ability.

Playing next to James, if you can't make three-pointers from the outside, then you are almost useless.

George passed the ball to JR-Smith who cut in from a high position, and Smith caught the ball and killed the basket with his left hand for a layup!

As a result, Robertson interfered from behind, missed a layup, and the Thunder still had the ball.

Robertson's long arm interference ability is really very strong.

For any team facing the Thunder, the first thing to consider is how to deal with their outstanding physical talents.

Collison at the fourth position may be the only point that can be targeted.

Westbrook got the backcourt rebound and pushed the fast break directly!

Without Li Liang, Westbrook has always regarded himself as a striker.

One ride is like a thousand, straight to Huanglong!

Drive Dellavedova all the way for a layup!

not in...

Dellavedova blocked the ball in front of Westbrook and kept interfering with him, causing Westbrook to use most of his strength to push the defender away, and the last layup was soft.

In the end, the ball was knocked out of the baseline and the ball was given to the Cavaliers.

Li Liang shook his head while watching from the sidelines, and said, "Doesn't he know how to make a jump shot? Does he have to rush by himself?"

Donovan said: "He has already picked up his speed, he can't make an emergency stop, his knees can't stand it...not everyone is as good at timing the emergency stop as you are."

Donovan explained, and at the same time quietly patted Li Liang's ass.

Mike Brown needs to feel the crisis. Donovan, as a college-educated coach, has not been an NBA head coach for long.

Then, Mozgov missed a low-post singles at the basket. He circled repeatedly, but still couldn't get around Adams' defense, and made a three-point hook.

This time Westbrook did not rush to counterattack, and settled down to attack the position.

After passing the ball a few times from the outside, it was given to Durant who came out of the high position. Durant caught the ball and made a quick three-pointer, hitting the first goal of the game!

The task of defending Durant fell on the shoulders of Paul George. George followed the ball very tightly and in place, but Durant just threw it directly on your shot. The advantage of height and wingspan is indeed too great.

Mike Brown applauded when he saw the goal, and Li Liang, who was sitting next to him, said, "It feels like you made a three-pointer."

Li Liang sat on the bench, Brown on the left and Donovan on the right. He asked questions, spoke up, and followed suit.

James didn't touch the ball in the first two rounds. After Durant made a three-pointer, James finally took the ball and started to attack.

When his teammates had no chance, he made adjustments with continuous crotch dribbles. Facing Durant's defense, he forced a three-pointer from the right and hit it!

James' three-point shooting is different from Durant's. Durant can go out, don't dribble, catch the ball and throw it directly, and his shooting percentage is quite high.

James doesn't have this ability. He has to dribble to make rhythm changes and adjustments, and then make shots to guarantee his hit rate.

But no matter what, the result was the same, and both sides scored their first goals.

Durant does have a unique advantage in scoring. His basketball skills and talent are born for scoring.

James made a three-pointer on his head, and Durant immediately rushed to the basket with the ball, causing Mozgov to foul and go to the free throw line.

Made two free throws.

The pressure on the Cavaliers is considerable.

Head coach Blatter had carefully prepared before the game. Knowing that Li Liang was on the bench, the Thunder's lineup was almost 24/7 with strong oppressive force.

Durant and Westbrook don't need to stay strong in the starting lineup, and it's OK to attack with all their strength from the beginning.

If the Cavaliers want to win the game, they must establish a sufficient advantage in front, and then the second team will not die too badly against Li Liang.

In this way, there will be more games to play. At present, this is the basic consensus of all teams.

Then the rotation must be tighter, and James' appearance time will definitely be extended.

The Thunder's subsequent defense almost pushed the Cavaliers to 24 seconds, but JR-Smith made a forced three-pointer from outside the three-point line at the last moment, and the Cavaliers overtook the Thunder by one point 6:5.

Then, the Thunder had a pass error in the offense. Paul George fell to the ground to save the ball, snatched the ball and gave it to Dellavedova.

James rushed to the basket, Dellavedova threw a long pass, James made an alley-oop, and dunked with both hands!

Quicken Loans Center came to the first climax after the start of the game. The Cavaliers' morale is indeed very strong tonight.

Facing the league's most powerful Thunder team, the Cavaliers really want to win this victory and further consolidate their position as the number one in the Eastern Conference.

James lost to Li Liang in the playoffs for three consecutive years, which is really miserable.

And this year, Li Liang has walked such a difficult road. Even if the Cavaliers make it to the finals, if they face the Thunder, it is estimated that there will be bad luck.

But James still didn't want to give up. It was a mule or a horse, so he pulled it out for a while.

In the summer, James further improved his three-point shooting level and spent a lot of time to stabilize his touch.

This season, James' three-pointers are quite stable and have become an important means of scoring.

Of course, before challenging Li Liang, the Cavaliers still have to deal with Westbrook and Durant first.

Westbrook immediately hit a pick-and-roll zombie jumper, 8:7, 1 point behind.

After that, Mozgov and Adams each wasted an offensive opportunity, and neither made a catch and layup at the basket.

James got the backcourt rebound, dribbled the ball halfway, faced Durant's defense, dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, adjusted his feeling, pulled out a 45-degree three-pointer on the left side, and hit it again!

James hit the second three-pointer and scored 8 points in a row.

After scoring the goal, when passing the Thunder bench, James said to Li Liang: "How is my three-point shot, Super Sixth Man?"

James is provoking Li Liang. James is a hundred "dissatisfied" with Li Liang's switch to the Thunder in the summer.

He said many times on different occasions, "I think this is an evasive behavior, which is not a good thing for the competition of the entire league."

Li Liang, of course, fired back via Twitter, using only an old Chinese saying, "The one who started the evil has no successor."

Talking about talking, the relationship between the two off the court is still very good, but on the court, as James loses year after year, his mentality is a bit exploded.

Facing James' provocation, Li Liang picked his nose, but did not express anything.

Li Liang's idea is that if I ignore him now, I will lose.

Lost to me three times, what else can I say.

I'm on the bench because I want to play with the best sixth man.

More than half of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Thunder by 3 points at 15:12, and the two sides entered an official timeout.

The two sides still played very smoothly, and the offense was very simple and neat. It can be seen that the players are quite well prepared.

After the timeout ended, Li Liang was still sitting on the bench waiting for the chance to play.

Sitting on the bench is a grind, especially for a player like Li Liang.

When he first entered the NBA in the past, he couldn't sit still when it came to the game. During that time, the hair dryer was almost all used on Mike Brown's face.

Blowing Mike Brown's head black and shiny.

Now that he is in this coffee position, being able to sit on his butt like this may have something to do with how much he recites scriptures on weekdays.

James played even more fiercely after the timeout. He knew that he couldn't keep his strength.

After he broke through the middle, he gave the ball to George on the wing. George caught the ball and made a three-pointer and made a hit!

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers have scored 4 three-pointers.

The TV cameras kept showing Kyrie Irving who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game. If Irving was there, the game would definitely be more intense.

Immediately afterwards, James successfully interfered with Durant's fallback jumper in defense, and the Cavaliers quickly counterattacked.

After Dellavedova received a pass from James, he broke through with a small throw, and Westbrook fanned out with a big cap!

As a result, the ball interfered with the ball.

Li Liang felt a little tired watching, and poked Donovan and said, "Billy, if you can't stand it, let me play."

Donovan was quite arrogant, "No, I can watch it for a while, just wait a little longer."

Li Liang had no choice but to wait, thinking in his mind how to fight with the second team later.
