Link and James are the two players who have averaged the most points per game this season.

They rank second and third in the league in assists and points scored per game combined.

Ahead of Link and James is Harden, who has completed his transformation this season, but because both James and Link have beaten Harden this season.

As a result, Link and James are considered two of the best performers this year.

And this game undoubtedly gave the two a chance to share their superiority.

They don't settle for being one of the best, they just want to be the only one.

Just now, both have already shown their excellent passing ability and vision.

Now, it's your turn to score!

After the Cavaliers played back, James aggressively took the basketball from Irving.

But he didn't break through right away, and the rampage-style style of play was not suitable for Link.

James waited for Love's cover to be in place before activating, however, a mere pick-and-roll couldn't stop Link.

Link quickly chased after him, but as he approached James, James did not speed up, but stopped and paused.

I saw James deliberately leaning on Link with his back, leaning back sharply, quite a feeling of back-to-back punching.

James' sudden pause disrupted Link's rhythm.

Of course, Link knows that when breaking through, occasionally taking the initiative to fight can have a very good effect.

But James simply stopped to confront, which is indeed something Link has never seen.

After forcing Link to a halt, James accelerated again. At this time, it was difficult for Link, who had already disrupted the rhythm of the pursuit, to catch up again.

In this way, in the face of Gasol Jr.'s supplementary defense, James jumped up directly, avoided the Spaniard's block sideways in the air and scored a dunk.

After continuing the assist just now, James continued to score with a beautiful dunk.

McLeod had already opened his arms and shouted, James was very strong today.

This is not the same as the game where Harden avoided Link, and although both sides scored high points in that game, there were not a few rounds in which the two actually faced each other.

And James is going to score directly on Link's head today, and not to force those who are false.

His offensive firepower was as fierce as a machine gun!

This kind of picture of the strongest against the strongest is naturally what fans like to see.

The atmosphere of the scene has been fully mobilized, and James and Link have pushed the game straight into the climax as soon as they came up.

I have to say that James was in excellent form today. The kind of flying buckle just now even made people travel to the James 1.0 period in a trance.

In this league these days, there are very few players who can complete a dunk in a one-on-one situation with Link.

Link must admit that James is also very technically complete right now. If you think that he is still the reckless man who only relies on his body to rush, you are very wrong.

After James scored, the Cleveland fans in attendance collectively shouted "defend".

The Cavaliers players are certainly full of strength right now, especially James, who just hit a great offensive shot and he's in high spirits.

This high morale combined with the shouts of the fans made the Cavaliers' defense impregnable!

The Cavaliers are very tough defensively right now, although the league has now entered an era of emphasis on offense. But without great defense, it's impossible to be at the top of the league.

Everyone waited for Link to continue to respond, but it was very difficult to dunk under such defense.

"Link couldn't even get the ball, LeBron did a fantastic job defending today! I've always felt that the league owes him an award for the best defensive player! ”

As soon as McLeod finished speaking, Link ran back against James' body and cut into the basket.

Link is not only top-notch with the ball, but his off-ball offense is also quite masterful. A true top superstar, there is no shortage of attacking means.

Conley, who was outside the three-point line, saw Link cut in and threw the ball into the air.

It's easiest to play with Link in the air, because Link doesn't require as much passing accuracy when he is in the air.

You just need to get the ball into that approximate range and let Link do the rest.

He's sure he'll be able to catch the basketball and dunk it into the box.

James bites so hard that Link can't jump enough.

But it was clear that Link wasn't going to be deterred by this distraction.

Once, there were many players who hung directly on Link, and they still couldn't stop him from scoring!

Link soared into the air in the confrontation, and James originally grabbed Link's clothes, but after seeing that Link could still jump vertically, he could only let go in a hurry.

If you really drag Link down and pay for one foul, it won't be worth it.

Link managed to catch the basketball in the air, but by this time one side of his body had already flown out of the rebound.

Link can only temporarily change hands in the air, change the ball to the side that is still inside the rebound, and complete the dunk!

The whole hand-changing action was done in one go, and Link seemed to really pause in the air for a second.

MacLeod was dumbfounded instantly, he didn't expect Link to really return a violent dunk from James. Moreover, it is such a magical action as an empty hand-changing dunk!

"Oh my God, the two sides are almost exchanging punches, it's amazing! It's going to be a close fight, and Link won't give in easily in Cleveland! "Next to McLeod, Reggie. Miller was very excited.

He's always liked Link because he could see his own shadow in Link.

That guy "doesn't respect" anyone, and he doesn't care if you're the chosen one or not, or if it's your home turf.

As long as you're his opponent, he'll find a way to take you down.

The three championships of the Grizzlies in the past all came about like this!

First the assist, then the dunk. After two rounds of tricks, James and Link were temporarily tied.

But if you thought it was going to be another star showdown, you would underestimate Link and James.

Their defense, too, will suffocate each other!

James immediately countered after being dunked by Link, and the Cavaliers sent a quick baseline ball, just to play the shortcomings of Jokic and Gasol, two European giants, who were too slow to retreat.

James received a long pass from Love near the halfway line and ran wildly! Sure enough, Jokic and Gasol were thrown away in an instant.

But from start to finish, Link was bearing the onslaught of James, forcing James to slow down.

It's still the first quarter of the game, and both sides are full of energy. So the physical confrontation was very intense, and for a moment, Reggie. Miller even felt like he was dreaming back to that rugged '90s.

James carried Link all the way to the basket and then forced a layup.

But Link didn't back down at all, he almost left the ground with James, and gave James a big blow in the face!

With his face covered, Link forced LeBron to miss for the first time in this game! It's so exciting, every offense and defense of both sides has brought us top-level enjoyment! ”

In front of Link's big risk, MacLeod no longer dared to say that Link didn't value his opponent anymore.

He could see that Link was actually trying his best today. Maybe for him, that's the best way to respect his opponents.

However, so far, James and Link's "exchange of punches" has not ended.

When Link attacked the Cavaliers' basket after completing the block, James not only resisted Link, but also did everything the moment he jumped to the basket, cutting the ball steadily, accurately, and ruthlessly!

The defense of NBA players is terrifying, and the speed and accuracy with which they cut the ball is completely unimaginable.

The basketball hit Link's leg and bounced out of bounds, the Cavaliers got the ball, and James returned Link a beautiful defense!

"Wonderful matchup, just a few rounds, probably the most exciting star matchup this season so far! We've seen Link and LeBron play and their quality as true leaders in the league! ”

After James cut the basketball from Link's hand, McLeod also put aside all preconceptions and watched the game that was destined to be great.

Although the game has only just begun, it is still the most energetic period for Link and James.

But McLeod believes that with the character of Link and James, they won't let this game go wrong.

Seeing that the referee ruled that he was out of bounds, Link, who was forced by James to make a mistake, shook his head.

James today is stronger than he thought!

He couldn't help but glance at James, only to see that James was also looking at him.

In the end, somehow, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

It was the first time Link and James had been rivals for so many years that they had smiled at each other.

The game between the strong and the strong is beginning to have an internal taste.

"Damn, do you see their smiles?" On the sidelines, Dave. Georgel folded his hands around his chest solemnly, his brow furrowed.

"See, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? This shows that both monsters are having fun! It's going to be a tough game for either of us. ”

As he spoke, James rolled over and hit a jumper from the middle distance on the right side to attack Link.

And there is no doubt that Link will continue to torment the Cavaliers' defense as well.

The show between two great players will continue to bombard everyone's eyes.
