The older superstars of the NBA

In the first quarter, the battle between the two sides was more intense, and both the Warriors and the Cavaliers played very hard.

In the second quarter, the two sides put on their respective substitutes.

For the Warriors, Zhao Feiyang, Andre Iguodala and others appeared on the stage, as well as rookie Dennis Grant. The team almost replaced most of the players in the second team.

For the Cavaliers, Jr. Smith did not leave the field. After Kyrie Irving went down, he temporarily stayed on the field as a scorer.

Also present were substitutes such as Tristan Thompson and Joe Harris.

call out.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Dennis Grant goes half-court with the ball.

As soon as halftime passed, Jr. Smith stared at him, and the two met at the top of the arc. Jr. Smith kept reaching out to interfere with Dennis Grant.

Dennis Grant planned to break through with the ball. He waved to Andre Iguodala, who was closest to him on the wing, but Andre Iguodala ignored him at all.

The reason is not complicated. Dennis Grant has a good relationship with Draymond Green, while Andre Iguodala is not in harmony with the latter.

Helpless, Dennis Grant had to forcefully break through to the basket.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the second division, he was double-teamed by the Cavaliers inside.

Snapped.

Dennis Grant had to turn the ball away.

He could have passed it directly to Zhao Feiyang, but instead of doing so, he just passed it to his teammate David Lee, who is not in a good position.

David Lee was closely watched by Tristan Thompson at this time, and he didn't even give him a chance to play singles. When he saw Dennis Grant pass the ball to him, he was so scared that he threw the ball as soon as he took it.

Snapped.

The basketball was given to Zhao Feiyang who had already run into the corner.

Zhao Feiyang raised the basketball and shot directly.

Swish.

A three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.

Although it was an away game, there was no shortage of Asian fans in the Quicken Loans Arena. These people did not hesitate to applaud and shout when they saw Zhao Feiyang score.

Soon to the Cavaliers counterattack.

Jr. Smith made a fast break with the ball and passed the ball to Tristan Thompson after halftime. The latter pretended to enter the basket to play hard, but suddenly threw the ball to Jr. Smith who followed up. Jr. Smith received the ball in mid-air The ball was dunked directly.

The ball is in.

The Quicken Loans Center Arena erupted in cheers.

In the first half of the second quarter, the bench lineups of the two sides played back and forth, and there was not much see-saw of points difference.

However, after the second half of the time, especially after Warriors head coach Steve Kerr replaced shit-stirring rookie Dennis Grant, Zhao Feiyang finally showed his form.

After his teammate dribbled the ball across the half, Zhao Feiyang raised the basketball and hit three-pointers one after another. In just two minutes, he made two three-pointers.

Under the opponent's marking, he scored a two-plus-one layup with a fast break and pull-bar.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the scores between the two sides were separated.When the game came to the end of the second quarter, the point difference was stretched to double digits.

call out.

The referee's whistle sounded.

60:49.

11 points difference.

The Warriors took the lead.

The first-half lead pleased the Warriors, especially head coach Steve Kerr.After everyone entered the locker room, he still emphasized the team's tactics, telling the players not to stick to the ball too much while defending well.

Soon, the second half will start.

The main players of both sides made their debut again.

Because the point difference was widened, the Cavaliers sent the Big Three directly.It was their turn to serve. This time, head coach David Blatt made a simple adjustment, allowing Jr. Smith to act as the point guard, and Kyrie Irving to play the second position as the scorer.

However, problems soon emerged.

Jr. Smith just passed halftime, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving came up to ask for the ball at the same time, one stood on the left side, the other stood on the right side, and they both reached out to say hello to Jr. Smith at the same time.

This made Jr. Smith have a difficult time.

"Jr, give me the ball, what are you hesitating about?"

Kyrie Irving shouted at Jr. Smith dissatisfied.

LeBron James on the side had a slightly better attitude, "Jr, brother, give me the ball, my position here is better..."

After hesitating for a moment, "Knife Guard" Jr. Smith finally passed the ball to Cleveland's real "King" LeBron James.

Snapped.

The basketball falls into the hands of LeBron James.

Kyrie Irving on the side immediately lowered his face, his eyes were stern, and he stood still and shrugged mockingly.He didn't move any more, but stood there indifferently.

After LeBron James on the other side got the ball, he made two gestures with Draymond Green, who was marking him, and then sprinted towards the basket with the ball.

His breakthrough attracted the Warriors' inside double-team. At this time, Kyrie Irving had every chance to rush into the inside to cooperate.

But Kyrie Irving didn't move, and LeBron James didn't expect that he didn't move. When LeBron James broke through to the inside to pass the ball, he found that there was no one on the other side of the vacant inside.

"Kerry?"

boom.

In desperation, LeBron James forcibly threw the ball, but was interfered by Draymond Green. The basketball failed to score and bounced off the basket.

Andrew Bogut at the basket quickly took off the rebound.

Snapped.

A long pass was thrown into the hands of Stephen Curry.

Stephen Curry rushed across the half court under the double-team of two Cavaliers players. In the chaos, he first dribbled behind his back and swayed, and then took advantage of the opponent's surprise and directly opened a three-pointer.

In the eyes of everyone, it is impossible to score such a hasty shot, but in the next second, Stephen Curry's three-pointer fell into the basket "unreasonably".

Swish.

A crisp three-pointer caused the Warriors' bench to exclaim.

Even Zhao Feiyang couldn't help standing up and sighing.

"I rely on... this three-pointer is somewhat unreasonable..."

In addition to lamenting that Stephen Curry's three-pointer is excellent, Zhao Feiyang also keenly captured the situation of the Cavaliers on the court.

Judging from the performance of the ball just now, LeBron James, the core of the team, and Kyrie Irving, the core of the team, don't seem to be dealing with each other very well.

At least, they are not as harmonious as they seem from the outside world.

Otherwise, this situation would not have occurred because of a problem with the ball.

Zhao Feiyang's conjecture was correct. In the following time, the "mismatch" between Kyrie Irving and LeBron James caused the Cavaliers to continue to have problems.

Although their individual singles are effective, the Warriors have raised their defense to a new level under the guidance of coach Steve Kerr, which is completely different from last season.

It also makes the Cavaliers less effective in isolation.

beep.

The moment the on-site timer stops, the game is declared over.

The Cavaliers eventually lost to the Warriors 119-128.

After the battle, Kyrie Irving looked very unhappy. He didn't communicate with anyone, and walked straight into the player tunnel.

LeBron James' complexion is not much better!

After greeting the Warriors players, he also left in the direction of the player tunnel.

From this point of view alone, the Cavaliers' road to the Big Three is not as smooth as imagined.

For the Warriors, the joy of winning can cover up many problems. Even some small conflicts between players will be temporarily hidden because of winning.

As long as they can keep winning, such problems can even remain hidden.

Zhao Feiyang played 17 minutes in this game and scored 19 points, which can be regarded as the best performance of the second team, even higher than Klay Thompson's score.

As a rookie, Dennis Grant played 21 minutes, but only scored 13 points and made two mistakes that should not have been made.

The best performer is undoubtedly the engine of the team, and that is Stephen Curry, who is the core of the team's tactics. He played a total of 24 minutes, scored 26 points, and sent 7 assists and 1 steal.

The overall performance is the best in the team.

After winning the first game, the Golden State Warriors are very happy. Although the players still don't agree with the lineup arrangement, under the coordination of head coach Steve Kerr, everything is moving in a good direction for the time being. .

Soon, the Golden State Warriors ushered in another game.

This time their opponent is the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs were the champions last season, and it is not an easy task to face them.

In order to defeat this powerful opponent, the Golden State Warriors can be said to have done enough homework. Head coach Steve Kerr continued to emphasize the opponent's weaknesses before the game and gave various instructions to the players.

As a result, when the game officially started, only the first half was fairly stable, and in the second half, the Spurs were directly defeated.

The Warriors players were surprised to find that the Spurs' tactics were different from the past. Now the entire team system is built around Kawhi Leonard.

Kawhi Leonard is of course an excellent player, but the Spurs have a more important problem, that is, these veterans are too old.

Among them, Tim Duncan is 39 years old, Manu Ginobili is 38 years old, and Tony Parker is the youngest, but he is also 33 years old. This age has severely reduced the physical fitness of this team. It is no longer comparable to the younger Warriors.

Therefore, under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Warriors, the Spurs were completely unable to resist in the second half, especially when GDP was on the court, as long as the Warriors played a fast break, the Spurs' defense would inevitably have problems.

beep.

When the sound of the game timer stopped, the game between the two sides finally ended, and the score was tied at 120 to 113.

7 points difference.

The Warriors won another game.

The victory in this game also greatly increased the Warriors' confidence.

Before, they were very afraid of these super teams, but now they really played against each other, only to realize that the era of super teams seems to have passed!

In other words, they are also among the ranks of super teams invisibly.
