Kenny Smith smiled: "LeBron's control ability is worthy of recognition. If it were anyone else, I guess he would not simply support the ground at this moment but sit on the floor in embarrassment. But for him, this is

The scene is bad enough, especially in such a big scene, watched by hundreds of millions of people across the United States and around the world."

As Kenny Smith said, being knocked to the ground by Lin Sen in such a game in front of hundreds of millions of people around the world is absolutely unacceptable to him.

During the transition between offense and defense, Mike Bibby dribbled the ball past half-court. Artest leaned closely against James, who was one step inside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side.

Artest is not as tall as James, and his weight is not as good as James, but his strength is not worse than James.

Try your best to press your body against James, and press James's waist with your hands to stand on your lower body.

"Mike, give me the ball!" James turned his back and leaned on Artest, sticking his butt out and pushing Artest behind him as much as possible.

"LeBron wants to hit one himself. Obviously he wants to retaliate for the humiliation that Wood just brought him, but Ron is not that easy to bully."

"Kenny, to me, I like this kind of confrontation, a duel between two beast forwards. This is what the NBA should pursue, not bullshit gentlemen." Barkley once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the league's style of play.

Mike Bibby lobbed the ball to James, and James caught the ball firmly with his right hand. He held the ball in front of his chest with both hands.

With his back to Artest, James swatted the ball hard, and his whole back hit Artest behind him.

Bang!

The purest sound of muscle collision came from the place where the two people collided.

Even a top defender like Artest couldn't help but retreat a little under James' impact.

Lin Sen, who was not far from James, took a step back to the three-point line to get closer to James. However, Mike Bibby's three-point shooting ability made Lin Sen not dare to let go too much. After all, James can average 7 shots per game.

assists.

Bang!

James hit hard again, and Artest stepped back a little again. Just as Artest stepped back, James made a quick one-and-a-half turn with his left hand, and at the same time dribbled the ball directly from Artest's body with his right hand.

The left side was forcibly cut away.

Lin Sen decided to step in and help defend, but he was still a little slow and could only watch as James forcibly shook off Artest and rushed to the inside.

When he was still one step away from the reasonable collision zone, James slapped the ball hard, jumped up, grabbed the ball with both hands and threw it towards the basket.

Milicic, who came up to defend, was staggered by James, but was still unable to stop James' dunk.

Roar!

James yanked the basket hard and jumped down, thumped his chest with his right hand, and roared towards the audience.

"Oh, LeBron forcefully knocked away Ron and then knocked Darko away and pushed the ball into the basket. Just look at the swing of the basket and you will know how humiliating it was for him to be knocked to the ground by Wood just now."

Kenny Smith looked at the roaring James and said.

The fans at the Water House Center quickly booed James violently. Milicic picked up the ball on the floor and sent it to Linsen.

"Attack! Attack! Attack!"

Driven by the live DJ, the fans in the audience shouted loudly.

The camera of the on-site director was always focused on Lin Sen, who was controlling the ball. Pace Wu looked at the big screen and listened to the cheers behind her. The nervousness about Lindsay Lohan's arrangement during the half-time break slowly disappeared.

It was Larry Hughes who was responsible for defending Linsen, but Linsen did not directly fight with Larry Hughes and gave the ball directly to Billups.

"Oh, Wood chose tactical movement again. Although this can make the game very easy, I hate this style of play." Charles Barkley said with a depressed look.

Larry Hughes is less than half a body away from Lin Sen. This season, the Orlando Magic is the Cavaliers' key opponent. They usually study the Magic's play style. They also know that a tactic often used by the Magic this season is Lin Sen's incompetence.

Run the ball and catch the ball.

Even though he knew about it, Larry Hughes still failed to keep an eye on Lin Sen. Under Howard's cover, Lin Sen moved from the right side to the left corner and received the ball.

However, the moment Lin Sen caught the ball, LeBron James appeared in front of Lin Sen.

"LeBron's active defense. Cleveland did not lose control of Orlando's offense. Was Wood singles or passing the ball?" Kenny Smith said, looking at Linson on the court.

Billups is at the top of the arc at the moment. Milicic is also at the bottom line. According to the tactics, Lin Sen can find opportunities, but Lin Sen gave up such tactical cooperation in the eyes of James who wanted to tear him to pieces.

Seeing Lin Sen's gesture of wanting to play singles, the others in the Magic had no doubts.

Linsen passed the ball to Billups and then pulled it to the three-point line, and Billups passed the ball again.

The standard three-threat action tested James' defensive patience. Lin Sen looked at James' defense without any anxiety.

After thinking about it, James decided not to wait passively, and took a step forward to get closer to Lin Sen.

This time he would not accept a defensive failure under any circumstances. Watching the two confront each other outside the three-point line, the fans at the Water House Center cheered for Lin Sen with their own cheers.

Lin Sen's right foot quickly moved forward, and three consecutive probing steps failed to affect James' defense.

He leaned out for the fourth time, while tilting his upper body to James' left side and shaking his shoulders seductively.

Faced with such shaking, James was a little unsure and hesitated.

However, this hesitation gave Lin Sen an opportunity to attack. The ball quickly landed and Lin Sen quickly stepped out with his left foot.

When James retreated, he did not forget to puff up his chest, but Lin Sen had no intention of breaking through. He made a small change with his right hand and adjusted his right foot to push the ground, then moved his left foot behind and pushed hard on the ground at the same time. His whole body was directly in front of James.

Pulled it up in front of me.

He secretly thought, "Oh no!" James immediately stabilized his body and jumped high.

Seeing James rushing towards him, Lin Sen leaned back and raised his right foot habitually to maintain his balance.

"A step-back jumper, big fade!" Kenny Smith shouted.

James stretched his arm as much as possible but still couldn't stop Lin Sen's shot. The ball jumped over James' block and flew to the basket.

Whoosh!

The crisp sound of wiping the net was drowned out by the cheers of the audience.

"A beautiful shot, a very difficult step-back three-point shot, this is Wood!" Barkley said with a smile on his face.

"Wood hit three consecutive shots and scored 7 points alone to help Orlando hit all four of its opening goals. At 9:2, Orlando leads Cleveland by 7 points. Cleveland did not start well. They need to find the feeling of offense." Kenny Smith said.

said.

In the transition between offense and defense, Mike Bibby caught the ball and made a pull-up jump shot to help the Cavaliers chase the score to 4:9. However, the Magic's offense failed to succeed. Howard's hook slipped to the basket due to the interference of Igauskas.

out.

"Dwight's hook shot seems to be much better than last season. But it still needs more practice. If he can open up inside, it will have a great effect on improving Orlando's overall offensive ability."

"Kenny, you are right. Dwight can only bring more opportunities to the outside if he has restraint on the inside. On the contrary, if he cannot guarantee the offense, the defensive pressure on the outside will be much greater." Barkley continued.

Six minutes into the first quarter, the Magic made personnel adjustments. Billups and Milicic were replaced by Chris Webber and Sean Battier respectively.

"Oh, Sean and Ron brought big trouble to LeBron." Kenny Smith said while looking at James who had no choice but to pass the ball.

Artest and Battier double-teamed James. Artest was responsible for the main defense and Battier assisted the defense. The Magic originally traded Artest and Battier to deal with top outside scorers.

.

So far in the new season, Battier and Artest have caused big trouble to each other in most cases when they play at the same time. However, when they faced the Cavaliers for the first time this season, the team was not in good shape and was led by James.

The Cavaliers were defeated. Today, Artest and Battier were in good condition, and James was completely in trouble.

Mike Brown was very depressed and replaced James with two minutes left in the first quarter, while Linson and Howard left the game with smiles.

Billups brought Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Chris Webber and Mutombo to cause huge trouble for the Cavaliers' second unit.

At the end of the first quarter, the Orlando Magic, playing at home, led the Cavaliers by 8 points, 32:24.

Less than four minutes into the second quarter, the Magic extended their lead to 12 points, and Mike Brown had to replace James early.

However, this time James did not force a single but relied on Varejao's cover. Under the Brazilian's cover, James threw off Battier's defense and rushed inside.

Eddie Griffin on the inside looked at James rushing in and immediately dropped Varejao, who was guarding him, and chose to cover James.

Faced with Eddie Griffin's interference, James still took off without hesitation.

LeBron James in the air used a dodge lever to avoid Eddie Griffin's block and then pushed the ball into the basket amid the boos of 20,000 people.

"LeBron just came on the court and completed the offense with a beautiful pull-up dunk. Orlando was still ahead by ten points." Kenny Smith said while looking at James who was punching and roaring on the court.

In the next two minutes, Battier was completely unable to stop James. James, who kept relying on the cover of his teammates, played much more easily than in the first quarter. On the defensive end, James even gave Milicic a big shot.

cap.

"This is LeBron's three minutes. Stan called a timeout. Obviously he couldn't stand this situation. He was leading by 12 points just now, but now he is only leading by 6 points. This timeout can disturb Cleveland's morale and make adjustments.

"

"It's time for Ron to play, but LeBron's style of play in these few minutes did not choose to go head-on. Although I don't like this style of play, I have to praise his smart style of play."

"OH, MYGOD. You actually praised LeBron." Kenny Smith shouted exaggeratedly.

"Wood, you replace Sam. Ron, you replace Sean, and Dwight, you replace Darko. In the past few attacks, they relied more on screens, so this requires you to help defend quickly..." Stan.

Van Gundy quickly arranged, while Mike Brown on the other side also made adjustments.

When the timeout expired, Mike Bibby, Larry Hughes and Igauskas all returned to the court.
