NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

"We will try to limit Xu Feng's performance as much as possible. He is a terrible guy, but we have found a way to deal with him!" James said still expressionlessly.

The reporter looked at Irving again and asked, "Irving, your offensive power is very good in the Cavaliers, but every time you face the Lakers, you don't perform well. Can you tell me the reason?"

With a serious expression on his face, Irving replied in a low voice, "The Lakers' defense is very good. I need to find more ways to attack. I am very confident in myself. I will definitely be able to play against the Lakers. Play well!"

"Mr. James, Love has performed well recently, and his three-point shooting percentage has reached more than 40%. Has he fully adapted to the team?"

"Yes, his role in the team is very important. We all need his rebounding and secondary offense. In addition, his touch has also recovered. In today's game, he will definitely perform well."

From the reporter's point of view, although the two of them were very tough in their mouths, in fact, they were a little guilty.

It's no wonder that for more than two years, whether James is in the Heat or in the Cavaliers, every time he faces Xu Feng, his performance is not satisfactory.

Just like Durant, seeing Xu Feng now has psychological shadows.

……

After the interviews, the players began to warm up and prepare for the game.

Today is an unusual game for Wade.

Because the relationship between Wade and James is very delicate.

In front of the media, the two have a very good relationship. They are the four banana boat brothers, and the other two are Paul and Anthony.

But during the Heat's cooperation period, James and Wade will be a little unhappy in some ways.

In order to keep James, Wade did not renew his contract with the Heat in advance, but James returned to the Cavaliers without saying a word.

This cost Wade tens of millions of dollars.

Wade has not complained about this in front of the media, but many people know it well.

When Wade and James met this time, they still hugged each other politely and chatted for a while.

Xu Feng and James have no communication other than the game, and the current competitive relationship between the two is intensifying.

This is not any personal grievances between the two, it is mainly the relationship between Feita Sports and Nike, so neither of them will bow their heads.

Eight p.m., Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland.

The Lakers challenged the Cavaliers away.

The Lakers' starters are Xu Feng, McGee, Wade, Tucker and Livingston.

The Cavaliers' starting five are James, Irving, Love, TT and JR Smith.

With a jump ball in the middle circle, McGee grabbed the first wave of the ball.

Livingston dribbled the ball past half court, and Smith stepped forward to mark it.

Since both sides are old opponents, it is the most vicious defense when they come up.

Livingston passed the ball to Wade to play Irving.

Irving's defense is average, and Wade and Irving basically exploded each other.

Relying on his body and speed, Wade rushed to the right, and Owen was missed by half, so he could only chase after him.

In the penalty area, Wade faced TT, took a stray step, and killed the basket. The moment before TT pounced, he scored a layup!
Xu Feng happily raised his fist again.

Wade is still good, and his breakthrough is still very sharp. I don't know what James will think when he sees Wade so efficient.

At the beginning, James felt that Wade's state was declining, so he resolutely left the Heat, because the Cavaliers had a healthy Irving, draft picks, and salary space.

But two years have passed, and the Cavaliers haven't won a championship, so James' heart will inevitably change.

If Wade wins the championship with Xu Feng, it will undoubtedly be another heavy blow for James.

Because you despise the old-fashioned Wade, two years later, you can win the championship with Xu Feng, and you still fight out of the Wild West, which means that Xu Feng is far stronger than you, James.

The Cavaliers attack.

James held the ball in the top arc, Xu Feng defended alone, James did not attack, but passed the ball to Irving.

Facing Wade, Irving used his fancy dribbling skills to break into the penalty area. When he was about to make a layup, Xu Feng made another defense.

Irving had to pass the ball to Love in the corner.

The Lakers' defensive formation is very good. When Xu Feng assisted in the defense, Tucker was already in front of Love.

So Love gets the ball, but doesn't have room to shoot.

He shook it twice, but Tucker was not fooled, and Love saw that the time was coming, so he had to force his shot against Tucker.

Boom!
The basket popped out, McGee grabbed the rebound and passed it directly to Wade.

Wade launched a fast break again, and James had no choice but to hug Wade with his hands, causing a tactical foul.

The Lakers fell into a positional battle, and Livingston passed the ball to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng was already at ease facing James' single defense. He first accelerated to the right, and after James pounced, he pulled the ball back.

James almost fell, and Xu Feng threw himself to the left again. James could only watch helplessly as Xu Feng passed him cleanly.

Coming to the bottom line, TT came to defend, Xu Feng glanced at the basket, TT thought Xu Feng was going to shoot, and jumped up.

Xu Feng took advantage of his jump and went straight to the basket. Before Love could defend, he dunked and scored!

This series of operations flowed like clouds and flowing water, like entering the land of no one.

Why Xu Feng is so relaxed is not all because Xu Feng is super capable, but mainly because he is too familiar.

They met in the Finals two years ago and shaved his head in the second year. Xu Feng knew what the Cavaliers' defense was like with his eyes closed.

So the Lakers Cavaliers are really a bit like blood suppression.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 31:23, and the Lakers led by 8 points.

Then the two sides played against the bench, and the Lakers still had the advantage.

Ding Yan Aerospace is becoming more and more confident, switching freely between personal offense and support.

As a Cavaliers substitute, only Shumpert can slightly restrict Ding Yanyuhang, but Xiaoding's passes can always find open teammates.

Bojan and Ellington also felt good today, scoring consecutive three-pointers.

The gap widened further.

Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue had to replace the main force in advance.

The Lakers' bench this season seems to have undergone a qualitative change. Facing other teams, almost all of them can gain the upper hand when they are hardly at a disadvantage.

After the Cavaliers' main force came back, the Lakers still played against the bench.

This is the emphasis on the substitute, but also trust.

It is precisely the opportunity to face the opponent's main players for a few minutes in each game that makes the Lakers' bench grow so fast.

After the main force of the Cavaliers came back, they were aggressive, especially James. Seeing that there was no Xu Feng, he was like a wild horse running wild, and started killing.

No one on the Lakers' bench can stop James' breakthrough.

The gap was further narrowed.

第二节战至6分34秒，双方比分45：41，湖人只领先3分了。
