NBA: The beginning is a championship

After being defeated by the Spurs, the Cleveland Cavaliers returned home to face the Minnesota Timberwolves and Chicago Bulls.

While Lynch remains on hold for both games, Tristan Thompson, another Cavaliers starter, is back on the court.

But the Cavaliers still have a one-win and one-loss record in those two games.

It wasn’t until Jan. 21 against the Nets that Lynch, who was suspended for four games, made his return.

Facing such a weak team, the Cavaliers who returned to the position of the Big Four attacked wildly, and the score on the court was 97:72 in the third quarter, directly breaking the score difference to 25 points.

“Wow! The Cavaliers led by 25 points into the fourth quarter! What a familiar plot! In their previous game against the Mosaics, the Mosaics also led them by 25 points into the fourth quarter, but in the end the Cavaliers completed the turnaround! Will today’s Nets complete a comeback like the Cavaliers? ”

The commentator in the commentary booth was emotional, but the game apparently did not go as he expected.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, with Lynch and JR Smith hitting three-pointers, the Cavaliers directly widened the gap to more than 30 points, and in the face of such a difference, the Nets did not have the same desire to win as the Cavaliers team at the time.

The Nets head coach called a timeout in the final 7 minutes and 28 seconds, replaced all the substitutes, and announced that he had abandoned the game.

After Lynch’s return, on the one hand, the Cavaliers had a full roster, on the other hand, they had basically played all the strong teams they needed to play throughout January, and the rest of the schedule was very sweet, so they easily won another wave of eight consecutive wins after the winning streak was ended.

And on January 31, the last game of January, the Cleveland Cavaliers were at home and faced the San Antonio Spurs, who ended their winning streak.

“I’ve been looking forward to this game since the Cavaliers’ last trip to San Antonio! I kept wondering if Lin and Tristan Thompson hadn’t been suspended in that game, the Cavaliers might have had the potential to set their winning streak to a level that would be unattainable by anyone else. ”

“You know, after the San Antonio Spurs, the Cavaliers don’t have as many opponents as these teams! And after Lin returned, they did get 8 consecutive wins! ”

“So, if Lin is not banned, maybe they can set their winning streak to more than 40 wins!”

The game had not yet begun, and Reggie Miller had already begun to use his imagination on the commentary stage.

“Reggie, stop your unrealistic delusions, even if Lin was not banned by the league for that game, they may not be able to say that they won 100% against the Spurs, don’t forget that the Spurs are the best at limiting James!”

“Charles, I really don’t understand why you chose to explain this game, have you forgotten that you lost the bet again! Why do you have to come to explain Lin’s game! ”

Reggie Miller directly tore open Barkley’s scar!

“It doesn’t need to be said, it’s because he wants to see Lin lose, he didn’t explain the last game between the Cavaliers and the Spurs, and now it’s the second match between the two sides, he will definitely come to watch it!”

Before Barkley could answer, Kenny Smith, who was sitting in the middle, had already helped him with the answer.

“Wow! Charles, do you think the Spurs will win the Cavaliers tonight, how about another popular gambling session? ”

Reggie Miller said with a wicked smile.

“Please don’t talk about these non-game-related topics in the commentary box!”

Barkley, with a black face, brought the topic straight back to the game.

Soon, the players from both sides had completed a simple pre-match warm-up, and to the cheers of the live DJ, players from both sides began to enter.

As in the last matchup, the Spurs are still the original starting lineup:

Point guard: Tony Parker.

Shooting guard: Danny Green.

Small forward: Kawhi Leonard.

Power forward: LaMarcus Aldridge.

Center: Tim Duncan.

The Cavaliers, on the other hand, are fully back this time, and are directly the Big Four starters:

Point guard: Kyrie Irving.

Shooting guard: Lynch.

Small forward: Lebraon James.

Power forward: Kevin Love.

Center: Tristan Thompson.

“Toot!”

At the referee’s whistle, Tristan Thompson and Duncan hit the jumping ball, and although Tim Duncan was close to retirement, he still beat Tristan Thompson in the jumping ball.

The Spurs’ first offense in the opening game was still exactly the same as the last, with Tony Parker dribbling the ball and then directly to Aldridge, who was reaching for the ball with his back to Kevin Love, who dribbled twice and then easily turned back to jump shot.

“Ugh!”

Kevin Love has no good way to limit Aldridge’s move.

The Cavaliers had the ball, and Irving dribbled through the half.

The Spurs are still a staring defense, and Danny Green, as the Spurs’ outside defensive gate, chases Lynch closely from the beginning, not giving him a chance to catch the ball.

But Tristan Thompson quickly went to the top of the arc to block Irving, who directly accelerated away from Parker and went straight inside, and a small throw streaked past Duncan’s handtip.

“Ugh!”

Basketball is easy to get into the net.

Looking back, the Spurs continued their last offensive pattern, with Aldridge once again turning and jumping into the net.

But after Love got the basketball, he directly threw a long quarterback pass into James, who rushed directly to the basket, Lynch in the bottom corner of the ball.

As Lynch received the basketball, Danny Green quickly pounced from under the basket. Lynch did not hesitate in the slightest and directly completed the shot.

“Ugh!”

Three points to score!

“Lin still continues his three-point feeling, and outside the three-point line, you can always trust Miracle Lin!”

As soon as Reggie Miller’s excited voice fell, the Spurs immediately helped Danny Green find a shot through a series of passes, and the latter directly returned a three-pointer.

“Haha, outside the three-point line, you can also trust Danny Green, after all, they all carry Lin characters!”

Seeing that the Spurs immediately gave an AnswerBall, Barkley immediately said happily.

Throughout the first quarter, both sides played extremely high shooting percentages, and when the Cavaliers could start shooting from the outside, the power of the pass after the breakthrough of Nale Braun James would be infinitely amplified, and the Spurs relied on the smooth team offense to constantly complete the score, and the Cavaliers also did not limit the Spurs.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 41:37, and the Cavaliers led by four points into the second quarter.
