The Godfather of Basketball

On April 17, the playoffs of the new season officially kicked off.

The game between the Cavaliers and the 76ers took the lead.

The Quicken Loans Arena was packed, and the fans on the scene waved various cheering slogans to cheer for the home team.

The feeling is different from last year. This year the Cavaliers are superior. They only need to happily eat burgers and ice cream and watch the team brutalize their opponents. This is a very relaxing experience.

The mood is relaxed and the interest is naturally high.

During the opening ceremony before the game, they cheered with all their strength, and the momentum of the entire arena was overwhelming.

After nearly two months of rest, the Big Three of the Cavaliers finally made their debut again.

The opening ceremony ended, and the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

For the Cavaliers, the Big Three lead Green and Anderson.

For the 76ers, Jrue Holiday and Jodi Meeks on the outside, Iguodala and Brand on the striker, and Hawes at the center.

Yao beat Hawes by jumping, and the Cavaliers took the lead in attacking.

Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, didn't call the pick-and-roll, and directly signaled Yao Ming to drop low.

The 76ers' configuration looks good, but the interior is weak. Hawes' 2.16-meter big man can shoot three-pointers. He is a replica of Okur, but his confrontation is much weaker than Okur.

At the same time, the Cavaliers are pulling other points quickly.

After Yao Ming received the ball, he turned around and hit back. Hawes couldn't find his way at all due to his continuous footsteps shaking.

A turn around shook Hawes clean, and Yao Ming easily hit the board and scored.

The cheers on the scene were loud, and this kind of playful feeling should not be too cool for the home team fans.

Holiday advanced to the frontcourt organization, Meeks came out with Brand's pick-and-roll, received the ball from the outside and directly hit a three-pointer.

But James flew over, and the interference of jumping scared him to a direct shot.

Yao Ming picked up the rebound, rushed forward and threw it violently.

James had just jumped up and blocked the block, and after running two steps forward, he had already caught the ball and left everyone behind.

"Boom!"

Rushing to the frontcourt was an iconic Zhan Ax dunk, and the atmosphere on the scene exploded again.

During the rest, the Cavaliers felt unhurried, but in the playoffs, after getting serious, they flew off the show at the beginning.

In the 76ers' offense, Holiday found Iguodala's pick-and-roll, and Meeks and Brand also made off-ball pick-and-rolls on the weak side.

Double pick-and-roll tactics, compared to the previous rounds, this tactic is obviously more aggressive.

Holiday saw the opportunity to pass the ball.

"Snapped!"

But as soon as he took the ball, Paul rushed out from behind Iguodala.

Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit!

Paul cut off Holiday's pass in one go, like a sports car at full throttle, and rushed out of the three-point line in an instant.

The rest of the 76ers didn't react at all.

Derrick Rose is known as the "Son of the Windy City", talking about Chicago, and also describing his fast speed, which is rare in the league.

But in fact, Paul, who is not injured, is really not much slower than Rose.

This time, it was flying like lightning.

When Paul reached the frontcourt, it was an easy pick and score.

6 to 0.

It's really scary when the Cavaliers get serious.

76ers coach Doug Collins rubbed his forehead vigorously.

In the two rounds, the 76ers have played out their tactics.

But once it was almost blocked, and once it was directly broken.

In front of absolute strength and experience, tactics and so on are really a ball!

The game on the court is still going on, the pressure of Paul and James has given the 76ers enough pressure on the court, a playoff team, at this time, they are playing bumps and bumps, as if they can't play anymore .

With wave after wave of fast breaks, Collins wanted to call 911 to call the police.

16 to 4, Collins called a timeout.

Tang Tian also stood up from the bench at this time.

In his previous life, he often saw fans on some forums discussing whether ordinary people could score points in the NBA.

The answer is actually no suspense.

These 76ers players are all NBA starters. Even Iguodala and Holiday are quasi-first-line star players, but facing the oppression of the Big Three, they really played very depressed.

The gap between them and the Big Three is obviously much smaller than that of ordinary people and NBA players.

Ordinary people really want to go to the NBA. They are afraid that they will not be able to dribble the ball even if they are forced to take a step, and they will not have a chance to catch the ball. Scoring is simply impossible.

After the first quarter, Yao Ming scored 14 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter. The Cavaliers led the 76ers by 20 points 32-12.

The scene was completely one-sided.

In the second quarter, the 76ers replaced Thaddeus Young, Louis Williams, Evan Turner and Maris Speights, leaving only one Iguodala in the starting lineup.

The 76ers can perform strongly in the second half of this season. In addition to helping Holiday, another important reason is that they have enough good substitutes.

Thaddeus Young, Lou Williams and Turner can all start on some teams.

Collins' eyes were piercing, obviously expecting the substitutes to win a glimmer of hope for the team.

The Cavaliers also entered a normal rotation, with Kwame Brown, Artest, and Stephenson appearing one after another, leaving James and Paul in the starting lineup.

Compared to Yao Ming, the injured Paul and James were younger, and they spent most of the first quarter playing soy sauce. At this time, physical strength was not a problem at all.

Of course there is a more important point, Tang Tian doesn't want to give the 76ers too many opportunities.

Williams advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and went directly to Speights for a pick-and-roll.

After taking it apart, he jumped out of Brown, and scored a layup with his body sideways and low hands.

As a veteran of the Cavaliers, and he was traded away from the team, he is still very excited to play.

"Pay attention to the defense!" Tang Tian stood up and shouted to the team members.

Paul went to the frontcourt, asked Brown to pick and roll straight to the basket, accelerated to get rid of Speights, and scored the same low-handed layup.

This is to directly find a place for Brown.

Williams turned back to the same tactic, the Cavaliers contracted, and he turned back to Speights.

"Snapped!"

Speights has a stable mid-range ability, but the Cavaliers didn't give him a chance to play at all. James rushed out to cut off the pass, and then accelerated straight forward.

Turner wanted to foul early, but was thrown by James with a turn.

"boom!"

Another iconic battle axe.

After dunking, James slapped the fans on the chest twice, showing a little excitement.

After Yao Ming left the field, it was finally his turn to play.

Williams was double-teamed, and the ball was given to Yang, who missed a three-pointer, Artest received a defensive rebound, and James and Paul made a two-line fast break immediately.

Paul accelerated to the frontcourt, saw James following up, and flicked the ball directly behind his head.

James followed up, like a goshawk, jumped up with both hands and smashed the ball directly into the basket.

"Boom!"

With one buckle, the entire Quicken Loans Arena was set on fire.

In the previous life, the "Janeway Connection" was talked about by fans, but the connection between Paul and James is only strong but not weak!

After playing 4 minutes in the second quarter, the scene Collins expected did not appear. After a wave of 12-2 attacks, the Cavaliers have led the 76ers 44-14 by as much as 30 points!

And this took less than a quarter and a half.

The brutal scene even made the audience a little unbearable to watch it.

"What... what..." Barkley was at a loss for words in the commentary, only laughing.
