NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

The first three-pointer of the new season belongs to Stephen Curry!

Looking back, Kidd continued to organize on the outside in the Mavericks' offense, but after a few runs, he didn't have a good chance.

Although it is only half a year later, the Mavericks seem to have lost the stability of last season on the offensive end.

They couldn't play a good teamwork, and eventually had to hand the ball to Nowitzki to handle.

"Bang!"

There was another sound of striking iron, and Nowitzki's second shot still failed to hit.

You must know that the positions of these two shots are his favorite points. If it was in the last season, a ball like this was almost sure, but at this moment, it doesn't feel like last season at all.

After the Cavaliers received the rebound, they launched a counterattack again. The shrinking lineup made their impact on the offensive end stronger.

When they fully pushed up the speed, the slow defensive movement of the Mavericks could not match it at all. All kinds of flaws were fully revealed, and the Cavaliers easily scored points.

In the first 3 minutes, the Mavericks only scored two points, and that was because of a technical foul sent by Long Rui.

In other words, except for Vince Carter's two free throws, they didn't get any points, and this trend seems to continue.

Coach Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout to adjust. Fortunately, after this timeout, the Mavericks finally scored the first sports goal of the game.

Although they broke the scoring drought, their team's offense still hasn't improved much, and they can only rely on some open opportunities to score points sporadically.

Halfway through the first quarter.

8:16
In 6 minutes, the Cavaliers were about to get a double-digit lead, and this was based on the fact that they did not use their full strength.

"Compared to last season, the state of the Mavericks has dropped significantly."

"Whether it is offensive or defensive, it is difficult for them to match this Cavaliers."

In the Huaxia CV-5 live broadcast room, the Christmas battle is being broadcast.

I thought that these two teams could present a wonderful matchup to the fans like last season's finals.

But so far in the game, it was much worse than the fans expected.

Under the rapid offensive of the Cavaliers, the Mavericks' defense was defeated steadily, and it was completely gone from the toughness of last season.

With more than two minutes left in the first quarter, the two sides entered the rotation stage.

The Cavaliers only left Jimmy Butler alone, and replaced Jeremy Lin, Paul George and others.

The Mavericks also replaced Nowitzki, Kidd and others with their substitute players.

The old main players have been unable to support the long game, they must get more rest time, the age of the players is the biggest problem for the Mavericks this season.

After the personnel change, the Cavaliers' offense did not seem to have declined much. Jeremy Lin and George joined forces to help the team continue to perform efficiently.

It is worth mentioning that after a season of training, Jeremy Lin's various abilities have also improved significantly.

Especially when organizing the team's offense, he can sort out every offense in an orderly manner. Although he can't compare with the top point guards in the league, he is definitely above the average level.

Paul George has also improved. His scoring on the offensive end has become more stable, and his various skills have matured. With him, the Cavaliers' second team will not lack scoring points.

On the bench, Long Rui kept observing the performance of the second team and found some shortcomings.

But I have to say that the strength of the second team of the Cavaliers is stronger than the starters of those big teams, which shows how terrifying the depth of their lineup is.

On the other hand, the Mavericks couldn't find any reliable scoring points on the field after Nowitzki left the field!
There was Terry who could support last season, but this offseason, after Terry was traded, they no longer have a second person who can continue to attack.

The gap in strength cannot be made up. Even if the Mavericks really want to win this game, it is too difficult for them now.

At the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks were beaten helplessly.

'Nuo Tianwang' sat on the sidelines, looking at the opponent's flashing scoreboard, feeling very uncomfortable.

17:35
Less than 5 minutes into the second quarter, the point difference has been widened to as much as 18 points.

Paul George showed his strong scoring ability, with all kinds of breakthroughs and jump shots!
In addition to him, Jeremy Lin can also provide a certain amount of firepower output. These two completely blow up the Mavericks' second team!
And Jimmy Butler enjoys making his own contributions on the defensive end. He enjoys the thrill of using defense to suppress opponents, and is willing to do all kinds of dirty work.

Although he doesn't score many points, every coach will like such a player.

Butler's physical fitness is still very good. After playing for so long, he has not shown fatigue at all. He devoted himself to the game and enjoyed this feeling.

"The Mavericks are really failing now. It's less than one and a half quarters, and they've been beaten into garbage time..."

"It's true that their strength is worse than last season, but the more important reason is that the Cavaliers are stronger than last season. Under the circumstances, the Mavericks can't win."

The fans have already started to discuss, their attention is no longer on the game, because there is almost no suspense in this game.

"Maybe the Cavaliers can really successfully defend their title this season!"

"From the perspective of the lineup, how many can win the Cavaliers now?"

"Don't say that, the Heat are also very strong, and they have made reinforcements this season, so they have the strength to fight."

"That is, in addition to the Heat, there are many strong teams in the West, so don't talk too early."

"..."

Halfway through the second quarter, the two sides switched back to the main force, but at this time the Mavericks had fallen behind by as many as 20 points.

When Nowitzki and others came back, the Mavericks' offense improved, but they were still suppressed by the Cavaliers, and there was nothing they could do.

The performance of the Cavaliers on the offensive end is like a torrent of water. No matter how the Mavericks defend, the Cavaliers can always smash their defense to pieces.

The camera was shown to the two head coaches, with two diametrically opposed expressions on their faces.

Byron Scott's eyes reveal a smug color, which is no wonder, after all, the Cavaliers played such an outstanding performance.

Coach Carlisle, on the other hand, had a serious face and looked worried. This was the first game of the new season, and they played so badly. For the team, this is by no means a good thing.
