Chapter 1096 Ending the battle? (3/5!)(1/2)
In the Quick Loan Arena, fans have been looking forward to it.
With half an hour left before the game, players from both sides entered the stadium one after another.
Tang Tian looked up and looked around.
"Stop them!", "34 consecutive victories? No!", "Terminator!"...
Signs like this can be seen everywhere.
Although James has never been able to bring a championship to Cleveland, the enthusiasm of fans here remains.
Tang Tian also saw Xiao Hua in a conspicuous position on the stands.
The league president has been a little busy recently, and after running Oakland with the Pelicans, he ran to Cleveland.
And the key is that not only physically suffer, but also mentally.
Thank you so much.
After the players on both sides completed the warm-up, they soon entered the opening ceremony.
The starting lineups of both sides have been released one after another.
Except for Rose, the Pelicans, who continues to recover from injuries, all 14 of them play.
Walker and Tang Tian from the outside, Butler and Davis from the front line, and Dedmont from the center.
No one was injured on the Cavaliers, and all the players went to play.
Wade and George on the outside, James and Love on the front line, and Whiteside on the center.
The game begins soon, and both sides start one after another.
At this moment, the live camera followed Tang Tian.
Tang Tian has been throwing magnesium powder in every game since the season.
But I don’t know if he will continue to do this in this game, because the originator of magnesium powder is on the other side.
Tang Tian was the last to appear. He walked to the technical table, wiped his palms with magnesium powder, and then took it up.
Amid the restlessness of the fans at the scene, they threw them out into the air.
He still threw it away!
The restlessness reached its peak, and Barkley, O'Neal and others in the commentator's seat were already laughing.
The photographer on the sideline did not give James the shot, but the fans who looked at James found that the little emperor looked very bad.
Perhaps only James himself knows his mood at this moment.
From "the.silencer" to throwing magnesium powder, Tang Tian is snatching away what originally belonged to him little by little!
Butler and the others were excited that could not be hidden.
Originally, the chicken soup before Tang Tian’s game had already made them feel high, and this magnesium powder was further stimulated to them.
I snatched your food and didn't give you any soup.
This is the purpose of the Pelicans this season!
Magnesium powder isn't it? It's all mine!
Little Emperor, right? They all stand on the side!
Davis put the ball back to the Pelicans' half, officially opening the curtain of the Pelicans' battle in the new season.
Walker took the ball and pushed forward. After making tactical gestures, he played pick-and-roll with Davis.
Love is a defensive loophole for the Cavaliers, and Wode's pick-and-roll will have a big effect tonight.
After blocking it, Davis went to the basket and Walker walked out.
Wade and Davis followed well, but Love's speed of changing defenses was a bit slow.
Walker seized the opportunity and made a three-pointer from the outside.
"Swish!"
A crisp sound from the ground, the basketball hollowed into the net!
Walker's opening touch was very exciting!
There was a turmoil at the scene.
Before they could recover from the fact that Tang Tian threw magnesium powder, Walker gave them a warning.
For the Cavaliers' offense, James held the ball on the right.
Wade is a shooting guard. Although he plays as a point guard, after Irving left, the team's real organizational guard was James.
George took advantage of the continuous pick-and-roll opportunity to catch the ball and make a three-pointer.
"Bang!"
But the basketball hit the frame.
George's shooting stability has never been very high.
Whiteside grabbed the ball with rebounds at the basket and turned around and shot.
"Bang!"
Davis assisted the defense and gave a big hat, and took advantage of the situation to catch the defensive rebound.
The Cavaliers' offense returned in vain.
The Pelicans played a defensive counterattack, Walker received a long pass from Tang Tian in the backcourt, and his fast break to the frontcourt layup caused Wade to foul the thug.
After making both free throws, the Pelicans started 5-0.
James held the ball in the frontcourt and played pick-and-roll with Whiteside, then broke it out and broke into the basket.
Davis assisted in defense, and James passed the ball to Love.
The Pelicans' assisted defense was quick, and Butler interfered before Love took action.
"Bang!"
Love's three-pointer hits the iron again!
Dedmont protected the defensive rebound this time.
The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt position, and Walker played pick-and-roll with Davis.
This time Walker walked in, accelerated to shake off Love and scored again for a layup.
Walker was in a state of great shape and scored 7 points in a row at the beginning!
The scene was restless.
It's completely different from what I expected before the game. The Cavaliers' state after the opening game is much different from that of the Pelicans!
Or, the Pelicans' condition after the opening game is too good!
At the critical moment, veteran Wade stood up and broke through to the penalty area to hit the board, breaking the scoring drought for the Cavaliers.
"Swish!"
But immediately, Tang Tian broke through on the right and threw away George's emergency stop and hit him back.
Back to the defensive end, Wade used his old trick again, and Dedmon snatched the ball in advance this time, slapped the ball directly back!
After all, the Flash is old, so if this kind of ball would not be exposed at its peak.
The ball was grabbed by Butler, and the Pelicans defended the Cavaliers' offense again!
Excellent state is not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end!
Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt, and George was 100% focused this time.
But Tang Tian raised his hand and directly gave the ball to Butler who cut the gap. The latter took Davis' pick-and-roll and took the ball to the close range of Love after receiving the ball.
Love just raised his hands high, but Butler saw a side-length layup in the air and put the ball in.
Butler played more with the Mavericks, but when he arrived at the Pelicans, he said he would play Tang Tian as a deputy, and he mainly played without the ball this season!
11 to 2!
Unlike playing against the Warriors, the Pelicans have an amazing energy game and they hung up the Cavaliers at the beginning!
And this state continues for a whole section!
After the first quarter, the score on the field was 39 to 19!
The Pelicans took a 20-point lead!
"Man! Let me now, what are the top spots for the ESPN pre-game predictions for the Cavaliers and Pelicans?"
In the commentary seat, Barkley couldn't help laughing and said.
“First and Third.”
O'Neal replied in seconds.
