The Godfather of Basketball

Back from the timeout, the fans at the scene were nervous and excited.

The Rockets led by 2 points at the last moment and hoped to win the battle of the century with a high probability. This made them excited, but what made them nervous was that Tang Tian had just called a timeout.

As fans of the Rockets, they knew how terrible Tang Tian's call for a timeout was.

The Cavaliers came back from a timeout and played a strange formation.

Inside is Frye and Wallace, outside is Greena Matthews, plus a James.

This seems to tell you clearly that my attack is to hit a three-pointer.

Thibodeau reached out and called a timeout.

It can be felt that, as a former subordinate, he has a natural awe and fear towards Tang Tian.

The fans at the scene became more and more nervous.

The people who called the time-out panicked.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers' lineup remained unchanged. James dribbled the ball directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and the other four fell directly beyond the three-point line on both sides of the court.

James holds the ball directly to Battier.

The Rockets' interior is very empty.

Change of direction, dribble, cross step.

James' movements were very hard, without aesthetic feeling at all, but after accelerating and rushing up, Battier couldn't stop him, and was quickly driven to the inside lane.

In fact, since last year, he has been unable to stop James. If it weren't for Artest, the Rockets would have confessed in that game.

James reached the free throw line and was about to stage a tank layup.

McGrady waving his hands interferes with James' passing path, then retreats to the basket.

James didn't have a good passing angle, was double-teamed, and jumped out of the baseline with the ball directly.

But at the moment of jumping out, he looked back at the moon, and he threw the ball directly in the air to the bottom corner.

At this moment, Matthews had moved from a forty-five-degree angle on the right to the bottom corner.

Obviously, this is a tactical arrangement.

With four three-pointers, no matter who the Rockets shrink, there will be a three-pointer, and the person who gets the three-pointer will move to the bottom corner immediately.

Of course not shrinking, James will definitely score this goal.

Matthews received the ball, glanced at the basket and shot.

The ball crossed a high parabola in the air, with a beautiful arc.

The fans at the scene raised their hearts in their throats, and silently said in their hearts that they would not enter.

"boom!"

The ball hit the right edge of the basket, but after bouncing high, it still fell into the net bag!

The most critical three-pointer, scored!

There was an uproar at the scene.

The Rockets called the final timeout with about 10 seconds left in the game.

Matthews kept shouting excitedly.

For rookies, this kind of key three-pointer is quite a boost.

James had a chest bump with him in the past. As a team player, what he likes to do most at critical moments is not to score, but to send a second pass like just now.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers replaced Artest, and directly double-teamed Yao Ming without the ball without giving him a chance to catch the ball.

McGrady took the ball straight to the basket, and James defended one-on-one.

McGrady's back shot after the confrontation.

But at this moment, Artest, who was going to double-team, came back and used all his breastfeeding strength, jumped up and jumped from the sideways.

"Snapped!"

"beep!"

McGrady's lore shot was blocked by Artest.

The red light on the sidelines also came on.

Block lore!

108 to 107!

The fans at the scene shook their heads for a while, unwilling to accept the reality in front of them.

The Cavaliers rushed onto the court like crazy, yelling and yelling around Artest.

Most of them are rookies and rookies. This feeling of lore winning is really explosive.

Only James was calmer, standing on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, with a smile on his face.

Tang Tian smiled and sighed.

It was said to be bad.

This first game didn't work out.

But his mood was inexplicably okay.

James had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Matthews' last goal allowed him to successfully complete a triple-double.

Artest scored 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. He played extremely hard this time.

Matthews scored 17 points and 5 rebounds, and made a key three-pointer at the last moment.

Green made 3 3-pointers and contributed 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, playing steadily.

O'Neal and Rasheed Wallace also scored in double figures.

After winning the game of the century, Cleveland fans were excited, while Rockets fans were very sad, and Morey was like an ant on a hot pot.

According to a person familiar with the situation, Morey went directly to the locker room after the game and lost his temper.

The defending champions got off to a bad start.

Back in Cleveland, the Cavaliers ushered in a game against the Bulls after two days off.

Tang Tian rested O'Neal and Wallace in this game, which was obviously a loss.

However, perhaps because of the infection of the first game, the rookies became more excited and worked harder than each other.

Of course Beverly shined the most. This guy stared at Rose like a mad dog. Although the latter still scored 26 points, he only made 7 of 25 shots, which was extremely inefficient.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated their opponents 97 to 87, ushering in two consecutive victories in the season.

The Cavaliers players were full of excitement after the game, but Tang Tian felt a headache.

He suddenly felt a little envious of those field control masters who were poor in his previous life. He really didn't have much experience in how to maintain the team's confidence and lose decently.

If you have no experience, be thorough.

After two days off, the Cavaliers flew to New Jersey to play against the Nets.

The Nets rebuilt during the offseason, trading Carter to the Magic, Jefferson to the Spurs, and now Devin Harris and Brook Lopez are in charge, which is a complete announcement of reconstruction.

Tang Tian directly slapped Rasheed Wallace, Matthews and O'Neill with a ruthless hand.

As a result, he almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

James and Green had great hands. He replaced Thornton, but Thorn's thighs felt hot, killing all sides, scoring 28 points in 22 minutes of playing.

In the end, the Cavaliers were short of three of their five main players, so they beat their opponents 96 to 81, ushering in a wave of three consecutive victories.

And that doesn't seem to be the end yet.

Two days later when the Cavaliers played against the Pacers, Tang Tian rested James directly, but Thornton continued to play at a high level, scoring 27 points again, and Green made 5 three-pointers in a single game. The Cavaliers still won 91. 81 victory over the opponent, stunned to play four consecutive victories.

Tang Tian really couldn't laugh or cry.

The deal is bad, let alone the tail now, even the shadow can't be touched.

But after four games, he realized a problem that he might not have considered before.

The Eastern team is no better than the Western team, there are too many weak teams.

According to the rules of the schedule, the Cavaliers play 80% of their games against Eastern teams, so it is very difficult to lose.

This is because the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and we have to take the initiative to change.

Tang Tian remembered what James said when he chatted with him before, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the phone of Kings general manager Jeff Petry.

"Jeff, I have a trade proposal, I wonder if you are interested?"
