NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

When Chen Tian saw the starting lineups of the two teams, his eyes brightened.

Nothing has changed on the Cavaliers side.

It is the Big Four with a Tristan Thompson.

The Raptors are very interesting.

In addition to the outside double guns and Carroll, they put Motel and Varan on the starting lineup.

This is also ready to play the twin tower lineup.

In fact, the Raptors' lineup is really not bad.

Especially during the offseason, the Raptors can be said to have strengthened the bench a lot.

Rose, Scola, Joseph, Patterson and Biyombo are all titans.

It can only be said that the Raptors can't beat the Cavaliers, except for the superstar role.

It's just that DeRozan is really bad.

Chen Tian still remembered the previous life, the Raptors were after this season, and James completely became the demon of the Raptors.

To be more precise, it is DeRozan's demon.

In the next two seasons, the Raptors met the Cavaliers in the playoffs, and the results were all 4:0.

Later, the combination of Lowry and DeRozan was also known as the garbage brothers.

Much of that is James' responsibility.

But this is the rule of this court, if you can't win, it's trash.

Winning is naturally all praise.

But Chen Tian wanted to see if the butterfly effect had reached the Raptors.

After all, the Raptors also completed a deal with the Rockets last season.

Motel is also playing pretty well on the Raptors' side.

This season also shared the starting power forward position with Scola.

Soon the game between the two teams began.

After the game started, the Raptors' offense was obviously well prepared.

After the opening, the Raptors focused on the inside.

It is no longer based on dual guns.

This made Chen Tian, ​​who was watching the game, brighten his eyes.

Did this effect really reach the Raptors?

Soon the game between the two teams gradually entered the state.

Motel obviously played well in this game.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams even tied at 28:28.

In the first quarter of the game, Motel and Varan played really well on the Raptors side.

This score, let alone Chen Tian.

People who watched the game were shocked.

After all, no one is optimistic that the Raptors will compete with the Cavaliers.

Soon after returning from the second quarter.

The shortcomings of the Raptors came out.

DeRozan once again lost his mind in this game.

When it's time for him to score, he can't stand up.

As for the Cavaliers, as soon as the time of the Big Four was staggered, the four of them immediately exerted their full strength.

This makes it difficult for the Raptors' role players to fight against them.

Although many people are giants, but the team's leading star can't stand up, how can it be possible to expect role players to stand up.

As a result, at halftime, the game was gradually opened by the Cavaliers.

In fact, at halftime, the Raptors' role players played really well.

Especially for Biyombo, he sent three caps in the first half.

It can be said that it has really boosted morale.

It can only be said that DeRozan is really embarrassing.

This made Chen Tian, ​​who was watching the game, shake his head.

It seems that the effect still hasn't changed the Raptors.

Soon the second half of the game also came back.

The Raptors seem to have suddenly found a way in the third quarter.

Lowry broke out here.

Chen Tian looked at the little steel cannon that walked out of the rocket.

Who would have thought that this guy could hit it.

He even became King of the North in the end.

It can be said that Lowry is not false when facing Owen.

After all, Irving's defense is indeed not very good.

Lowry used his big butt to hit Owen on the back.

Not to mention, this trick really works.

The Raptors once caught up with the score.

But after that, Owen was also rushed.

Immediately, the firepower was fully fired, and the two of them confronted Lowry.

If the two were to compete against each other, then Lowry would not be an opponent.

After all, Irving's offense is at the level of a scoring champion.

Owen broke out here, and James and Wade were not idle.

After the Cavaliers improved their defense, the Raptors made a lot of mistakes.

This allowed the Cavaliers' defensive counterattack to play a role.

James, Wade, and Irving are all players who are best at playing defensive counterattacks.

As a result, in the second half of the third quarter, the score was once again opened by the Cavaliers.

At the end of the third quarter, the two teams also played a similar game.

But the hole dug by the Raptors in the second quarter was not filled at all.

Chen Tian knew that there was basically no suspense in this match.

After all you let the Big Four lead so much going into the fourth quarter.

If you want to catch up, you really need a miracle.

Sure enough, everything did not go beyond Chen Tian's expectation.

After the start of the fourth quarter.

The Cavaliers are still firmly in control of the situation on the field.

Although DeRozan seems to be awake at this time.

But it was too late, and he couldn't improve his shooting percentage in the face of Wade.

The twin towers on the inside were also restricted by James and Thompson.

In the score of the fourth quarter, the Raptors not only failed to catch up.

On the contrary, the difference is getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, Coach Casey had no choice but to replace all the main players.

Announced abandonment of the game.

In the end, the Cavaliers easily won the Raptors 115:97.

The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals also ushered in a good start.

The big score became 1:0.

But the Raptors were not without surprises in this game.

Chen Tian felt that it was impossible to end the battle 4:0.

After all, this is the first time the two teams have met in the playoffs.

James hasn't been DeRozan's nightmare yet.

So no surprises, Chen Tian felt that after 2:0, he returned to Toronto.

The Raptors can still win by using their home court.

After watching this match, Chen Tian was still very satisfied.

In fact, what Chen Tian really wanted to see was the strength of the Raptors.

Not surprisingly, judging from Tatum's thoughts, they will have to play six games in the Western Conference Finals.

Then it depends on the Eastern Conference.

Chen Tian didn't want the knight to wait for work in the end.

So not surprisingly, the Eastern Conference Finals will also be a score of 4:2.

In this way, the Lakers will definitely enter the playoffs one step earlier than the Cavaliers.

This is not Chen Tian's arrogance, because the current Warriors want to fight against the Lakers, but they are still a bit short.

If Durant goes to the Warriors next season.

This team may also play against the Lakers.

So now Chen Tian has started to think about the finals.

After all, the Big Four teams are not talking about.

You must know that when the Cavaliers played against the Cavaliers for the second time in the regular season, the Cavaliers were already different at that time.

So Chen Tian spent the entire playoffs studying the Cavaliers' tactics.

And the third game of the Western Conference Finals is about to start.
