Perhaps no one would have thought that the Cavaliers were led by the Thunder by nearly 20 points in the first quarter.

After the opening period, the Cavaliers' offense was actually good. Especially Thomas, who relied on his speed and three-pointers to get 10 points. He was the Cavaliers' leading scorer in the first quarter.

But the so-called success is also Xiaohe and Xiaohe. Thomas' inability on the defensive end put the Cavaliers into a very passive position. You know, their defense is not good. Now that there is a little Thomas in the starting lineup, the defense is even worse. I really don’t know why I used Irving to trade Thomas over in the summer. With so many excellent offensive and defensive players in this league, isn't it true that they can't be seen!

In the second quarter, Rose and Wade came up.

Upon hearing these two names, everyone felt mixed. If it's 5 or 6 years back in time, even 2 or 3 will do, this pair might be proud of the entire league! It's a pity, now it's old, old, wounded.

However, it is an MVP level player. As soon as he came up, Wade received a pass from Rose in the middle, then turned and jumped to the basket. Hustis, who came off the bench, suffered a rhythm loss and was fouled by Wade, very upset.

Wade, who was on the free throw line, made two free throws. The knight began a long journey of chasing points.

Felton found Ferguson in the right corner while he was marching. After receiving the ball, Felton failed to make a three-pointer.

Subsequently, the Thunder failed to attack for three consecutive times and was beaten 8:0 by the Cavaliers. In fact, the problem that the Thunder has always existed and has not been solved is that the bench can't give enough help. This season, Oklahoma City's substitutes are at the mid-to-lower level among the 30 teams in the league. The impact of Kanter's injury has declined compared to previous seasons. Felton's ability is mediocre. Based on the high hopes of Grant and Ferguson, he occasionally shines, but he still hasn't played the level everyone expected. Of course, this also shows from the side how strong their starting lineup is.

However, after 8:0, the Thunder began to score. Although he couldn't return the opponent's big rhythm, he barely stabilized the situation. The point difference has been maintained at around 10 points.

"Russell, Ann, Paul, you are on!"

After half a quarter of time passed, Donovan sent his main players. Paul George benefited from the impressive scores leading in the first quarter and took a break off the court.

At the same time, on the Cavaliers side, James, Love and Thomas also played.

During the following period, the audience could clearly feel that James switched to another mode. Of course, Zhan is still a little short of the full force, but it made An Luo feel what is called the first person in the league. As for Westbrook and Paul George, they have met James like this more than once.

He first held the ball at the top of the arc and singled Paul George. Don't look at a lot of age, but the body is really abnormal. An Luo, who was not far away, could even hear the sound of the collision between the two of them. After pushing twice, James sank his shoulders and moved to the left. Paul George immediately adjusted his focus to prevent the opponent from rushing past. At this time, James leaned slightly to the right and squeezed out Paul George directly. Then against Adams, scored a layup.

It's really tough! The whole offensive process is in confrontation. Paul George, who was in his prime, couldn't hold him.

Westbrook responded immediately. He caught the Cavaliers' defensive loophole outside the right three-point line, started directly, followed the seam and hit the basket. Facing Thompson, he used a clever lever to send the basketball into the hoop.

The Cavaliers attacked again. This time, James repeated the same trick. Still singles Paul George at the top of the arc. However, this time the latter is obviously more cautious. Although the confrontation is still a little down, James has never been given a chance. After all, he is a super small forward who can play seven games against James in the Eastern Conference Finals.

But James has always been a very good passer. When he realized that he might not be able to overpower Paul George, he secretly observed the position of his teammates. In the end, he made a fake shot and sent the ball to JR Smith while attracting all the defensive attention of the Thunder.

It's a pity that JR, the guy, has dropped too much this season. Nerve Knife is not very bright anymore.

Of course, before joining the Cavaliers, he was no longer the flying New York star that year. But in the case of almost empty positions, it is too ridiculous to throw three non-sticks!

The result is self-evident, Westbrook got the basketball from Adams. There was wind under his feet, and he directly launched a counterattack. And assisted Paul George and dunked.

Seeing that it was finally forced to get closer to the score, he once again pulled away ~lightnovelpub.net~ James decided to come by himself.

He was one step away from the three-point line and suddenly shot a cold arrow, hitting a three-pointer. Then he grabbed the rebounds surrounded by Adams and Westbrook, and advanced himself with the ball, carrying Paul George to score two plus one.

After scoring 6 points in a row, James finally showed a smile. To the fans of Quicken Loans Arena, he showed off the muscles of his arms. Looking at the thick arms, An Luo felt that he was simply too ordinary.

James' performance is not over yet. Westbrook then overtook Thomas Jr., speeded up the change of direction and flashed into the free throw line. At this time, James is still on the right elbow, at least three meters away from him. But just as Westbrook flew to the basket, a dark figure rushed out behind him and shot the basketball he just picked out to the backboard.

Chase the nail board big hat!

"TMD! Abnormal!" An Luo shook his head again and again, is this still a 33-year-old guy doing it?

LeBron James' signature move. All along, James' defense has been very characteristic. He didn't want Leonard to use death coils to block the opponent's shot and pass space. He often follows his opponents or even behind him. But as long as the opposing player relaxes a little, he is likely to steal, or like Westbrook just now, he will be sturdyly chased by him.

Subsequently, under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers launched a very tenacious counterattack. In the end, at the end of the first half, the Cavaliers trailed the Thunder by 8 points 60:68. They won the Thunder by 11 points in this quarter, and James delivered 15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Even Westbrook kept shaking his head, James is too strong!
