Chapter 417 417 Test each other!Zhuang Shen kneels down!
Lillard had possession of the ball for halftime, and it was still handed over to McGrady to support him in the center.
After a while of running, Lillard got the ball!
Tyronn Lue on the sidelines showed such an expression as expected.
The Blazers' current lineup on the field except Lillard's autonomous offensive ability is relatively weak, so he has arranged a lot of defensive tactics against Lillard!
After Lillard changed direction and broke through Irving, he continued to kill in the penalty area!
Compared with the defenses of Rondo in the first round, Lawson in the second round, Beverly and Thompson in the Western Conference Finals, Irving is at least two grades behind them.
On the left side of the penalty area, Adelaide directly assisted in the defense.
Adelaide is famous as a pretty guy in the mid-range shot. Although his defense can't reach the level of a defensive gate, it is actually above the league's average defense.
Lillard, as Adelaide's former teammate, obviously knew this, and instead of continuing to rush, he gave it to McGrady at the top of the arc on the right!
McGrady didn't stop the ball, and directly passed it to McGee under the basket!
"Bangdang-!"
A dunk from McGee!
There were bursts of cheers!
2: 2!
"The Blazers played very patiently!"
"Yeah, the Cavaliers' defense is still an issue.
Although Drummond defended well, his attention was completely distracted by the continuous tearing of the Blazers. "
Kenny Smith and O'Neill analyzed.
The Cavaliers attacked, Irving controlled the ball for halftime, and after taking advantage of Adelaide's cover, he took the opportunity to drop a three-pointer directly!
"boom!"
No!
McGee protected the rebound and handed it to Lillard to advance.
Two steps before the arc top three-point line, Lillard made a super-long three-pointer directly.
"boom!"
nor!
"Today, both sides' attacks are relatively simple!
On the Cavaliers' side, Irving and Alder first attacked, and on the Trail Blazers' side, Lillard was the center.
mistake. "
Kenny Smith hadn't finished his analysis yet, and Irving's singles pass from James was not stable and slipped out of the baseline.
The fans at the scene have a feeling.
Both sides did not enter the state at the beginning of the game today!
Lillard dribbled the ball for halftime, and the Cavaliers still had Irving as the main defense.
Facing Owen, this time Lillard did not attack again, but moved to tear up space for his teammates.
McGrady's low position on the right is the axis!
The handsome one-handed ball turned around, and then hit the ground to the air-cut Millsap!
After receiving the ball, Millsap jumped forward and jumped up for a layup!
Drummond, who assisted in the defense, directly extended his arm to interfere!
Consecutively not entering from the outside, Drummond has predicted that the Blazers may open from the inside, and the oppression given by the defense this time is full!
Millsap, who is usually gentle, showed a stern look on his face, and he made a layup against Drummond in the air!
"Shh-!"
"Bi~Bi~Bi!"
Scoring, plus penalty!
The cheers exploded at the scene!
Leonard on the bench bent his arms, showed off his biceps, and praised Millsap for his tough play!
In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley finally spoke.
"The Cavaliers' defense really sucks.
There is not enough pressure on people and on the ball!
They can't even match the Warriors in jump shots!
If they defend with this intensity today, they will lose next week.
Just watch it if you don't believe me. "
Kenny Smith nodded, then analyzed:
"The way of the Cavaliers is indeed not as good as that of the Warriors, but they certainly didn't expect the Blazers to let Tracy do the pivot today.
The Blazers also made up for Zhou's absence to some extent! "
"Shh!"
Millsap made a steady free throw.
2: 5!
The Trail Blazers, which the media predicted before the game would be easily defeated, took the lead in the opening game.
On the Cavaliers side, it was finally no longer a duo between Irving and Alder, and James asked for the ball on the left.
The sound of "Defense——!" sounded everywhere!
Zhou Si is no longer tonight, James' performance is critical!
The TNT team in the commentary stopped talking, they wanted to see what would happen to James taking over the game for the first time today.
This season, James is more on the defensive end, and the offensive end does not take over many times. There are even statistics showing that James is the least sticky James and the strongest defensive James!
Facing James, it is impossible for McGrady to limit one-on-one.
So McGrady had no choice but to choose to put a defensive distance and let James shoot from the outside.
Compared with three-pointers, James' breakthrough is obviously more lethal.
The Blazers are also betting that as long as James' three-point shooting percentage does not exceed 50%, they are completely acceptable. Considering that James' three-point shooting percentage has dropped to 37% this season, this strategy is completely fine.
Boom!
James dribbled the ball to the front right and then pulled up and threw a three-pointer.
The Blazers' defense is so tight, how could he, who has experienced many battles, fail to see it!
"Shh!"
Against McGrady's defense a little later, James scored a strong three-pointer!
5: 5!
"Beautiful, LeBron's goal is very determined!"
O'Neal praised his old teammates.
The Blazers ran off the ball and Courtney Lee missed a three-pointer.
On the Cavaliers side, Adelaide has no mid-range.
In the first quarter, the two sides did not have a big physical confrontation, and everything was being tested.
The Cavaliers tried out what the Blazers wanted to do this time, and the Blazers wanted to test out the Cavaliers' main offensive line in the first three games.
It is expected by everyone that the Cavaliers will play the Big Three, but James does not seem to intend to completely take over the game when Zhou Si is gone, but to control the field more.
On the Blazers' side, Lillard's main attack and McGrady's support are combined internally and externally.
The hit rate of both sides is not high, the score has been anxious!
But coach Stotts on the sidelines frowned slightly. James of the Cavaliers can turn on the unparalleled mode at critical moments. Although they also have Lillard, they are obviously almost meaningless.
As soon as Zhou Si was gone, he felt that he had no idea.
Zhou Si in front of the TV was not anxious at all. While watching the game with his friends, he thought about the Cavaliers' backs.
The best moment of the first quarter came at 6 minutes and 21 seconds.
After playing for almost 6 minutes, the score on the court was only 10:11, which is really not high.
In this Trail Blazers offense, Lillard and McGee got the chance to play small and big after the pick-and-roll!
Zhuang Shen defended very forward, but because he had an attack on his back before, he didn't dare to make big moves.
Although Lillard has failed to make two shots before, Zhuang Shen still dare not take too much.
"Wow~"
Lillard did not break through the dribble, but made a tentative step to make a fake shot.
Zhuang Shen's reaction was great, he stepped back diagonally, then slipped his foot and knelt down on one knee, losing his defensive position!
Lillard will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He is confident and shoots a three-pointer directly!
"Shh-!"
Got it!
10: 14!
It was as if a switch had been turned on at the scene, and there was thunderous applause!
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue quickly called a timeout!
This is the rhythm to rise!
