NBA: The beginning is a championship

After the game against the Celtics, the Cavaliers players didn’t stop much and returned to Cleveland that night on the team’s charter flight.

They only had one day off to adjust, but everyone was still on time for pre-race training.

All the players know that the next game is going to be a big game!

The Oklahoma Thunder, with “Death” Kevin Durant and “Turtle” Russell Westbrook, is definitely able to wrestle with the Cavaliers.

……

On December 18, at 7:30 p.m. US time, the Cleveland Quickloan Center arena was brightly lit.

Half an hour before the game began, the arena was already full of more than 20,000 fans wearing Cavaliers jerseys.

They made a loud noise in the stands, and the atmosphere of the whole stadium was extremely warm.

“The Cavaliers’ Quick-Loan Center arena is definitely home to the devil this season, look at these crazy fans, since they won the first O’Brien Cup in franchise history, I need to keep my ears safe for a few days every time I come here! Their home atmosphere is so warm! ”

Before the game began, Kenny Smith sat on the commentary stage and kept complaining.

“Hey, bro, do you know how many people are looking forward to explaining this battle of focus? Gave you such a good free viewing spot, you should thank lady luck for your blessing! ”

Reggie Miller, who was sitting to Kenny Smith’s left, spoke.

The commentary arranged for this game is still Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller, and the official has obviously found that when the three of them form a partner to explain Lynch’s game, it often causes some explosive topics, and such huge traffic and topic discussion is exactly what they need.

This time, the commentary platform was placed on the second level of the stand, which can be said to be one of the best viewing positions in the front row.

At this time, the audience suddenly began to burst into a fierce cheer, and the players on the field began to enter!

“OhShit！ These Cavaliers fans are crazy too, I even feel like the roof of the Quickloan Arena is going to be overturned by them! ”

Kenny Smith of the commentary desk quickly put on his headphones, and the cheers just now made his ears feel a pang of discomfort.

In fact, if they take off their headphones at this moment, they can’t even complete normal communication with each other.

The last two players, Lynch and Lebraun James, had arrived on the court, and the cheers of the crowd were even higher.

“This game is an inevitable match for both teams. The Oklahoma Thunder have already made a boast before the game to end the Cavaliers’ winning streak, and for the Cavaliers, they desperately need this game victory, knowing that their opponent Golden State Warriors just won 24 straight games! They certainly don’t want their winning streak to end. ”

Talking about this topic, Kenny Smith’s expression was unusually calm, as if the occurrence of this incident had nothing to do with him.

In fact, it’s not just a showdown between two teams, it’s a showdown between Kevin Durant and Lin, two of the top two players on the scoring list this season. Kevin Durant is averaging 34.8 points per game so far this season, ranking second on the scoring list, and in front of him is Lin, who can average 34.9 points per game this season, leading Kevin Durant by a narrow margin! This game will definitely have an impact on the ranking of the scoring leaderboard. ”

“Charles, I feel like you’re a little silent today! Let’s make a bet and see who scored a little higher tonight between Lin and Kevin Durant! ”

After introducing the situation on the scene, Kenny Smith once again turned the topic to Barkley.

“NO！ I will not participate in any gambling contract related to Lin! ”

Barkley rejected Kenny Smith’s offer with a serious look.

“Toot!”

The referee’s whistle sounded punctually, and the game officially began.

The starting lineup for the Oklahoma City Thunder at this time is:

Point guard: Russell Westbrook.

Shooting guard: Andre Roberson.

Small forward: Kevin Durant.

Power forward: Sergi Ibaka.

Center: Steven Adams.

On the Cavaliers’ side, except for Kyrie Irving, who is still injured, the other players have recovered from injuries, so they once again sent a regular starting lineup:

Point guard: Matthew Dailla Vidová.

Shooting guard: Lynch.

Small forward: Lebraun James.

Power forward: Kevin Love.

Center: Tymofe Mozgov.

When the referee threw the basketball high in the air, Mozgov and Adams jumped almost at the same time.

“Snap!”

Mozgov directly slapped the basketball into Lebraun James’ hand.

After Lynch ran to the front court, he immediately followed the gesture James had just given him, directly gave him a cover near the halfway line, and then quickly popped out, waiting for Lebram James’s pass.

This is a very skillful tactic that they work with.

Sure enough, when James used Lynch’s cover to instantly get rid of Kevin Durant’s defense and go straight to the basket, the Thunder made a mistake, Kevin Durant and Andre Roberson went after James who rushed into the paint area at the same time, but ignored Lynch who was ambushed outside the three-point line.

So, by the time Lynch received a split from Lebram James on the outside, Andre Roberson wanted to come back and defend, it was too late.

“Ugh!”

The basketball cuts a graceful arc in the air and drills into the basket with precision.

3:0！

“Miracle Lin ~~~”

Amid the DJ’s roar, the audience burst into deafening cheers at the same time.

“It seems that the Thunder did not listen to Coach Stotts’ advice on defending Lin, how can they all go to Le Blang and let go of Lin on the outside? What a bad defensive choice! I think three more than two should be the math problems that elementary school students do! ”

Barkley’s words were always filled with dissatisfaction with the Thunder’s defensive choices this time.

“Charles, I need to correct you a problem that kindergarten students will do with simple math problems like this!”

Kenny Smith’s voice teasing Barkley has not yet fallen,

The Thunder quickly served the ball to Russell Westbrook, who dribbed directly and accelerated through the half, and before the Cavaliers’ interior line was fully in a defensive position, Westbrook had already crossed Dellavedova’s defense, and his feet jumped high as if they were springs.

“Boom!”

Directly fry the frame!

“Wow! Russell Westbrook! What a rapid impact speed, what an explosive physical fitness! I can’t believe it, it only took him 4.3 seconds from receiving the ball from the back to completing the dunk this time! ”

Barkley’s excited voice came.
