Long Two pulls out the hand.
Hill, who had just stopped the car, had no time to jump to interfere, so he had to watch Basketball fall into the net.
After an easy hit, Thunder overtook the score.
James took over Basketball again, and Frontcourt came. Facing the marking of Butler, he quickly dropped the ball to break through. After On the Move Contact, Three steps came up and Layup pulled the lever in the air and scored.
A smooth finishing move.
Even if Butler is already a very good player to Contact, even if he interferes immediately, even if Little Sabonis has already turned around to help defend.
But James is too fast and too strong.
The movements of Layup were not deformed at all, and the finish of Touch was also very gentle. It was still easy to complete the finish.
So Sabonis had to catch the falling Basketball, return to Baseline and send it again.
Back to Frontcourt again, still the same tactics, Chen Xi Mismatch named Hill.
But Cavaliers adopted a double team, JR actively squeezed through the screen and came back to defend, and Hill also immediately stepped up to attack.
When the inward lob was not safe, Chen Xi had no choice but to throw the ball to Butler on the wing.
After Butler received the ball, facing James's defense, he chose to hold the ball and wait.
Gordon On-ball Screen, JB took advantage of the trend to break through.
James's size limited his speed in squeezing through the screen, so he had to watch JB rush into Interior.
After Butler entered Interior with the ball, he made his signature jump step Shot Fake. After deceiving Osman's defense, a Up-and-Under little Floater took action.
Scored two points.
The two sides were fighting back and forth, and the efficiency was surprisingly high.
The Cavaliers side, under the leadership of James, was not far behind and clung to the score.
It can be seen that James is really working hard.
Whenever Chen Xi or Westbrook makes a great teamwork and seems to be able to open up the score, James will immediately exert its force, use its impact power, and hit Thunder's Interior hard to finish or cause damage to close the score difference.
Time quickly came to the first official Timeout.
Donovan took the opportunity to replace Westbrook and Gordon with Harris and Deron.
Cavaliers also made active substitutions, Hood and Clarkson replaced Hill and JR.
Love's injury put Interior of Cavaliers into a tight situation. Tyronn Lue had no choice but to extend the playing time of TT and Osman.
Plus James who doesn't dare to win at all.
This puts the Cavaliers Starting Lineup lineup in the top five of League in terms of average playing time per game.
Timeout ends and the game starts again.
After Deron came on the court, he did not immediately take over the organizational tasks, but passed the ball to Butler.
Like James, as a Wing player with excellent organizational skills, Butler became more and more proficient after being trained by Thunder.
Dribble went to the left position of Top of the Key. After stopping the ball, Hand-off passed to Chen Xi.
After Chen took the ball to attract the defense, he quickly passed the ball to Deron on the wing.
After receiving the ball, De Xiaopang quickly started to break through, attacking Clarkson's defense, relying on his body strength to squeeze through half of his body, and then stopped quickly, Shot Fake deceived Clarkson's block, and then relied on Clarkson's body to take off the shot.
Basketball pops up, but the whistle sounds.
After standing on Free-Throw Line, Deron took a deep breath and listened to the voices of Fans, the home team of Thunder.
I endured active mental activity and steadily hit two Free Throw, successfully getting off to a good start.
Although in the subsequent Possession, Deron was not able to continue to show himself, but his current mentality is completely different from when he first joined the team.
After Donovan trained with the team, he specifically talked to Deron and expressed his trust and encouragement to him. He also expressed that the team was willing to give him time and wait for him to regain his form.
After taking the reassurance, Xiaopang's impatience was relieved. After relaxing, he integrated better with the team.
Not long after, McDermott and Grant appeared, replacing Chen Xi and Butler.
Thunder was rare on the court and put up a lineup of five substitutes.
In the past Thunder, because there was no qualified organizer in Bench lineup, and most of the players were shooters, at least one core member was usually left on the court to lead the team.
But now, Deron has joined, and Little Sabonis is still present.
It was successfully done, allowing the team to maintain its original rhythm without being led astray by Cavaliers.
Moreover, the unexpected fit between Little Sabonis and Deron's Pick-and-Roll allowed the team to stabilize its offensive level.
In comparison, Cavaliers is much worse.
Seeing that Thunder and Starting Lineup were not present, Tyronn Lue tried it and replaced James in the last two minutes of the first quarter to let him rest.
As a result, in just these two minutes, Pick-and-Roll was given a beating by Thunder, and he lost points one after another.
After clinging to the score for the whole quarter, in these two minutes, it was quickly pulled to 8 points.
Tyronn Lue was so frightened that he immediately put James back on the court in the second quarter.
But at this time, the core boss of Thunder has been resting for a long time.
Westbrook is resurrected with full health and appears again, bringing Wade, McDermott, Harris, Collins, and James to continue the battle against eight hundred Possession.
Chen Xi sat on the sidelines and watched the battle on the court with great interest.
Needless to say, the current situation of James is very similar to the 16 turtles under the original trajectory.
In the 16-17 season, Westbrook was also so isolated and helpless. He fought tooth and nail to hold on to the score, lost everything as soon as the game started, and then quickly returned to the court to wipe the butts of several Teammatess.
However, things are unpredictable. Nowadays, Old Zhang still has to struggle with a bunch of scraps to hit the season, but Turtle Turtle's pressure is much less.
The current Thunder, I would like to call it, the strongest Thunder in history!!
Even if we move out those old guys from Supersonics, we can still go up and fight!
The second quarter of the game was lackluster.
After a brief high-intensity confrontation at the beginning of the festival, the two sides fell into Iron Smelting Frenzy again.
Both sides involuntarily shrank their defense lines and tilted their defensive resources towards Interior.
So they actually restricted two people, James and Westbrook, at the same time.
To put it another way, this stupid strategy restricted the five-time MVP and the three-time Scoring Champion~~
Both of them are outside shooters, not good enough, but I don't know what happened today. Judging from the second quarter alone, Touch, one is worse than the other.
However, the poor condition of the two core players does not affect the performance of several role players.
Both are players with excellent organizational skills.
The state of the offense will not greatly affect their series connection with Teammates.
In the second game after Wade joined Thunder, he felt like a fish in water.
Relying on his rich experience and excellent reading comprehension, he can always find an opening in Offensive End.
