Chapter 690 Against the Big Three
The process of the game was still uneventful. The tenacious Grizzlies couldn't change the fate of losing, but they were slightly better than those teams that lost miserably, with fewer points lost.

After defeating the Grizzlies, the Raptors' winning streak came to 11 games, continuing to create the best record in the league this season, and also continuously creating the regular season opening streak in team history.

On November 11, the Raptors continued their seventh consecutive home game against the Milwaukee Bucks.In this game, they won easily. They beat their opponents by 22 points at home and ushered in a 7-game winning streak.

So the topic of "who can end the Raptors' winning streak" will continue.

On November 11, a focus game in the NBA is about to start.Naturally, the game was broadcast live across the United States and attracted the attention of the entire league.

The two sides of this game are last season's championship Raptors who challenged the Cleveland Cavaliers, who formed the Big Three this summer, in an away game.

The Cavaliers have not been in a good state recently, which doesn't match the high expectations they have been placed on.The chemical reaction of the Big Three is not good. As the team leader, James is not in good condition. Whether it is on-court performance or statistics, he does not look like a top 3 star in the league.

In this game, facing last season's championship, the Toronto Raptors, who have won 12 consecutive victories without a loss, are a test for the Cavaliers with the "new Big Three".

In this game, the starting lineup of the Cavaliers at home is: center - Anderson Varejao, power forward - Kevin Love, small forward - LeBron James, shooting guard - Sean Marion, point guard — Kyrie Irving.

The starting lineup for the Raptors on the road has remained the same throughout their 12-game winning streak.

The commentators for this game are Marv Albert and Jeff Van Gundy.

"Jeff, I'm very glad to accept such a focus competition with you." Mafu Albert greeted with a smile.

"Groom, hello! I am also very happy to explain with you." Jeff Van Gundy also responded with a smile.

"Cleveland has been in a bad state recently. What do you think is the reason?" Mav Albert asked.

"There are many reasons, and the most direct one should be the running-in aspect. New teams are like this. They will go through the painful period of running-in at the beginning of the season. After this stage, it will be much better." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"Do you think the Cleveland Cavaliers will end the Toronto Raptors' winning streak?" Marv Albert asked a question.

"This... I don't know, after more than 2 hours, reality will tell us the answer!" Jeff Van Gundy said slyly.

The Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cavaliers, was full of people, and the attendance rate was quite high.Since their "chosen son" LeBron James announced his return this summer, this team seems to have a soul again.From the rebuilt team competing for the No. [-] pick, it quickly changed its appearance and became a strong team competing for the championship.Those fans who cursed James back then accepted him again, and everyone moved towards the goal of the championship together.

Even if the Cavaliers have played poorly in recent games, it has not affected the popularity of the ball market in the slightest.The attendance rate of the Quicken Loans Center arena this season showed a completely different trend from last season.

In this game, someone pointed out before the game that the two sides can make up an All-Star starter: point guard: Kyrie Irving, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, small forward - DeMar DeRozan, power forward - LeBron James, center-Kevin Love.

Varejao and Valanciunas prepare for a jump ball near the middle circle and the game is about to begin.

Cavaliers fans have mixed feelings about Xiong and his Raptors.They are very grateful to Ying Xiong, because Ying Xiong led the Raptors to break up the Big Three in Miami, gave them a bad breath, and indirectly helped them win back the "son of the chosen one" James; but they are very jealous and dislike Ying Xiong is that now the two sides have become competitors, and it seems that the strength of the other party is still higher than that of their own, which is the biggest obstacle for their own side to break out of the East.

Varejao can rebound and dive, but jumping the ball is not his strong suit, so the taller Valanciunas grabs the spot and hits the ball to his teammates.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over, and Kyrie Irving came up to defend.

The Cavaliers defending Yingxiong was his teammate from the Mavericks, Sean Marion, known as the "hacker".

Of course, hackers are no longer the hackers of the past. No matter how strong a player is, with the passage of time and the erosion of time, he will eventually take away his athletic ability.

Ying Xiong received Jeremy Lin's pass from the side without the ball. After a fake move, he suddenly scored Valanciunas under the basket. The latter hooked under the basket-missed!
Love accepted the rebound and gave it to Irving to advance.

Irving's dribbling ability is unique in the league, not only fancy, but also quite lethal.In Ying Xiong's view, if it comes to the ability to combine man and ball, Owen can be ranked in the top 3 in the league.

Irving picks and rolls with Varejao at the top of the arc, and then crossovers to the inside.Jeremy Lin's defense is very tough, and he was not easily passed by the opponent. He has been fighting the opponent with his body to prevent the opponent from cutting to the basket.

Irving didn't stop the ball, and directly shot a mid-range shot after pulling the ball from one crotch-nor!

Amir Johnson grabbed the rebound and gave it to Ying Xiong to advance.

"For Kyrie's ball just now, Sean in the bottom corner has already had a chance, and Cleveland missed a good opportunity." Mav Albert said.

"Kyrie is very capable of holding the ball in singles, but when it comes to the speed and ability to play the ball, he still lacks some heat." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Ying Xiong made a 3-point shot from the off-ball side—none.

Love received James' point and missed a follow-up 3-pointer!

The two sides had a tacit "ping ping pong pong" at the beginning of the game.

Jeremy Lin dribbles over, picks and rolls with Amir Johnson on the left wing, and then takes advantage of Irving and Love's unclear explanation when defending the pick and roll, directly rushes to the basket, avoids Varejao's block, and the master layup succeeds!
"Kevin and Carey, there is still a problem with the tacit understanding!" Mafu Albert said.

"It's not just a matter of tacit understanding. These two people have always had problems in defending against pick-and-rolls. Kevin is too slow, while Kyrie is always easy to get confused when facing the opponent's screen." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Irving came over with the ball and gave it to James on the right wing.

James faces the opponent, picks and rolls with Varejao, and then breaks through with the ball himself.He broke through to the vicinity of the penalty area and gave the ball to Marion in the bottom corner. The latter made a 3-pointer-missed!
Ying Xiong received the rebound, pushed forward by himself, cut into the inside line with the help of a cover, Eurostepped Varejao who was about to dive, and easily made a throw in front of the indifferent Love!

"Kevin's frame guard is really..." Albert the groom shook his head, hesitating to speak.
