Provocation!

Red. Bare. Naked provocation!

The reporters were stunned, but their eyes burst with undisguised excitement.

This is simply the news material they have been dreaming of!

Now, the game will be even more lively!

Tang Tian's response added fuel to the "bath water" turmoil.

When the reporter threw this question to Durant, Durant's face turned green and he refused the interview directly.

The 23-year-old hairy boy, this is really provoked.

After this report came out, the finals, which had been highly anticipated, made enough gimmicks perfectly.

On June 10, U.S. time, the NBA Finals came a little later than usual, but it still came as scheduled.

At the Oklahoma Ford Center Arena, the scene was crowded, and the fans wore blue T-shirts distributed by the home team, a sea of blue.

The SuperSonics changed their name to the Thunder in '08 and relocated from Seattle to Oklahoma, and it took only 4 years for them to reach the Finals, which brought shock and impact to the home team fans.

At this moment, basketball is the top priority in this small city, and fans frantically pour into the streets and bars to witness the birth of history in this moment.

At the Ford Center, the opening ceremony set the arena on fire.

In the passionate cheers of the fans at the scene, the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

Both teams maintained their previous starting line-ups.

On the Cavaliers' side, Paul and Green on the outside, Carter and Artest on the front, and Yao Ming on the center.

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook and Sofrosa are on the outside, Durant and Ibaka are on the front, and Perkins is at center.

Ibaka and Yao Ming's jump ball.

Amid the explosive cheers from the audience, Serge Ibaka jumped high to flick the ball back into the Thunder half, and the home team had the opportunity to take the lead.

Westbrook dribbled to the front court and went straight to Paul.

On the weak side, Durant and Ibaka made a simple pick-and-roll, and Westbrook flicked the ball over.

During the "Four Less" period, Westbrook was still a good organizer.

However, the forward combination put up by the Cavaliers has a strong ability to move, and Artest directly reaches out to interfere.

"Bang!"

Durant's first attempt to make a shot jumped out of the basket, and Yao Ming pressed Perkins to collect the defensive rebound.

The Thunder's retreat was fast, and the Cavaliers' fast offense couldn't be played.

Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it directly to Yao Ming in the low post, who sat on his back and played Perkins just as he did when he played the Celtics during his time with the Rockets.

However, Ibaka was very fast in defense and came over as soon as possible.

Yao Ming gave the ball to Artest.

Ibaka straightened her long arm and went back.

Artest's three-point shot was disrupted and his shot was deflected wide of the basket.

The Thunder's offense, Durant came out to catch the ball and then shot.

It's a ball that Ibaka's broad shoulders blocked both Artest and Carter.

"Bang!"

However, it can be clearly felt that Durant is a little rushed to shoot, and the ball is out of the basket again.

It seems that Tang Tian's remarks before the game still worked.

The Cavaliers' offense, Yao Ming still fell low, Ibaka also shrunk the bag, and he divided Artest again.

Artest shook Ibaka at this time, and distributed the ball to Carter, who received the ball and shook it past Durant, breaking through to the basket with a low hand for a layup.

"Bang!"

But at this moment, Durant arrived and used his excellent arm span to cover Carter's shot directly to the rebound.

The Thunder counterattacked, and Westbrook scored a layup directly from the frontcourt.

From receiving the ball to dunking, the whole process took less than 4 seconds.

Tang Tian frowned slightly.

Although Durant's offense is not open, from Durant's chasing block to Westbrook's rapid layup, this is a talent that can be seen with the naked eye.

He got up and made a tactical gesture to Paul.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, reached out to organize, and the Cavaliers played a 2/3 pick-and-roll strategy.

Carter took advantage of Battier's block and took a pass from Paul.

"Bang!"

At that moment, Ibaka squeezed past Battier and jumped up and slapped Carter's shot straight out of the field.

The cheers at the scene rose again.

This reaction and bounce speed is no longer an invisible talent, but a talent overflow!

The Cavaliers' sideline ball, Paul borrowed Yao Ming's mid-range shot after blocking and dismantling, and he didn't score.

The two risks in a row fanned the Cavaliers' hand.

Westbrook carried the ball to the frontcourt, and this time he motioned directly to Durant to drop low, then threw the ball in.

Carter defends closely, but the height difference between the two is a lot, and the focus of his defense is to prevent breakouts.

Durant turned his back and leaned back.

"Huh!"

Durant's shot finally hit.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The emotions of the fans at the scene were aroused and they began to shout and cheer for the home team.

Paul handed the ball to Yao Ming in the high position, and he was still the calmest one.

Yao Ming has his back to Perkins, which is the Cavaliers' most advantageous strong point.

Carter and Paul cut left and right, and Paul shook off Westbrook.

Yao Ming reached out and prepared to pass.

"Smack!"

At this moment, Westbrook burst out and saved the pass in Yao Ming's hand.

The referee did not blow the whistle.

Westbrook took the ball and rushed forward, but it was already unguarded.

He slowed down a bit and took a step inside the free-throw line to split a one-handed dunk.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, and the rebound was smashed into the basket.

After landing on the ground, Westbrook burst into the sky with a heart-rending roar.

The entire Ford Center was in a state of boil.

6 to 0.

The Thunder carried over their form from the Western Conference finals to the Finals, giving the Cavaliers a kickoff in the opening stanza.

The home dragon lives up to its name.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a timeout.

Although the game only lasted about 3 minutes, the Thunder team used pure talent to completely play the momentum in the opening game.

"Sean, you replace Ron." Tang Tian directly stretched out his hand and motioned for Battier to play.

The Thunder's talent exploded, and the Cavaliers are now not only difficult to defend, but also constrained offensively, and they have to pull out the space on the court first.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers made a substitution, with Battier replacing Artest.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, Green and Battier landed directly into the bottom corner, and Durant and Ibaka were pulled to the sides.

Battier's offensive means are much more singular than Artest, but his role is also obvious, and the Cavaliers' sense of space on the court comes out at once.

Paul beckoned Yao Ming's pick-and-roll to the basket.

Dismantling Yao Ming and going high, Paul broke through the basket.

Perkins and Westbrook retreated to the basket, and Yao Ming made a crotch pass directly to Yao Ming in the high post.

Yao Ming catches the ball and shoots a jumper from the free-throw line.

"Huh!"

There was a crisp sound, and Yao Ming's shot landed steadily.

After adjusting the lineup, the Cavaliers finally broke the scoring drought.
