The Cavaliers' sideline ball, after the ball was sent out, it still went to James.

After Jefferson Jr. was fouled on the back, his defensive aggression was obviously much weaker than before, and James pressed him to score a basket after the inside confrontation.

Unlike the previous games, James came up and scored first for the Cavaliers on consecutive strong attacks.

The Nets' offense, Jokic's three-point miss, Love received the defensive rebound, Irving advanced to the front court with the ball, and waited for James to drop the ball and then gave the ball over.

The pre-game media reported that the reason for the quarrel between James and Blatter in the last court was the issue of the former's number of shots, and judging from the Cavaliers' current selection, they have already dealt with this issue internally.

Jefferson Jr. suffered too much in the confrontation, and Butler on the weak side recovered the defense, and James distributed the ball to J.R. Smith, who hit an open three-point shot.

The "guards with knives" are carrying knives tonight.

The Cavaliers started the game 5-0.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench, such a start was by no means good news for the Nets.

Delong borrowed Yi Jianlian to block and hit the middle distance in the frontcourt, and finally the home team opened the pot.

But looking back, it was still James, who suppressed Jefferson Jr.'s breakthrough goal in the frontcourt.

James didn't shoot a few times in the first few games, but this game has been attacked three times in a row since the opening.

Tang Tian turned around and called Gordon to his feet.

James' back-to-back wins boosted the morale of the Cavaliers, and the defense stopped the Nets' offense.

James went to the frontcourt and played Jefferson Jr. with his back.

Jefferson Jr. was a little anxious when he was continuously attacked, and at this time he saw Gordon standing on the technical table, and his defensive movements were not small, and he was blown a defensive foul by the referee.

The referee's penalty scale tonight is indeed tight.

There was news that Blatter complained about the penalty scale for both games after the game, and it seems that the league has responded.

The game went into a dead ball and Gordon replaced Jefferson Jr. with two fouls.

"Be patient." Tang Tian was a little frustrated when he saw little Jefferson go off the court, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

Although Jefferson Jr. is excellent defensively, he is only a rookie after all, and he played against James, and his performance in the last game was good enough.

Gordon's presence has enriched the Nets' offense, and his movement has pulled up a lot of the Cavaliers' defense.

Yi Jianlian's air cut shook off Lefou, and received Jokic's pass and scored a direct dunk.

The dunk drew cheers from the audience, and the momentum that had been suppressed by the home team after the opening game recovered a lot.

Looking back, Butler played against James, James still played hard, Butler tried his best, but in the end he couldn't block it, James hit the basket to attract Jokic and then distributed it to Thompson, who scored from close range.

After Gordon played, the Nets' firepower on the offensive end increased a lot, but the quality on the defensive end naturally declined.

The two teams changed the style of play from the last game and played a big battle on the field.

Gordon hit a three-pointer here, and Irving scored a basket over there.

Butler's layup was blocked, and James turned around and made a hitter who hit both free throws.

Jokic scored on a breakaway from the middle, and Love responded with a three-point shot from the bottom corner.

……

The two teams come and go, and it's not lively.

However, the Nets' offensive grasp and individual scoring ability are obviously weaker than the Cavaliers.

At 10 minutes into the first quarter, the score was 30-22 and the Cavaliers held an eight-point lead.

Tang Tian's expression was not very good off the field.

That's why he didn't choose to play against the Cavaliers during the coaching staff's regular meeting, because there was a gap in offensive firepower, and it was a slow death process.

At this time, the two sides entered the rotation one after another, and all he could look forward to was the team's performance in the rotation transition.

On the Nets' side, Jokic and Jefferson Jr. took three benches, but the rotation on the Cavaliers' side was different from the past few games.

The Nets have ferocious firepower off the bench, but the Cavaliers are not at the same level with and without James.

The two teams traded in the final minute to give the Cavaliers a 38-28 lead to end the first quarter.

The game is getting worse and worse against the Nets.

James was still on the court in the second quarter, and looking at this posture, Blatter was ready to let James play the whole game.

Such a choice is understandable, on the one hand, James himself has the ability to play the whole game, and on the other hand, the Cavaliers do not want to be dragged into the tiebreaker.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Oden flew Frye for a dunk under the basket, but James' rebounding layup caused Jefferson Jr.'s personal third foul.

The young man's expression was depressed, and his mentality looked a little broken.

Tang Tian hesitated for a while, then got up and called Maddie up.

Maddie had been squeezed out of the rotation by Jefferson Jr. before, but now that he is on the verge of elimination, he can only fight.

Maddy hasn't been in great shape and shape since he recovered from injury, and falling out of the rotation is more because the Nets need to develop a future.

James made the first free throw.

Maddie comes on for Jefferson Jr.

When the fans saw Maddie appear, there was a burst of cheers.

35 seconds and 13 minutes, MVP, FMVP, dynasty core, even if the injury is old, but last season in the Nets also played well, and now on the edge of the cliff, such a player is naturally their new hope.

James missed his second free throw, and Oden picked up a defensive rebound.

The Nets went to the frontcourt, and West had his back to Frye in the low post, pulled away and chiseled in.

Frye's defense has always been a problem, and with a back-to-back master like West, his ability to parry is really limited.

However, James was quick to help defend and arrived when West was about to make a move.

West was also quick to react, throwing his hand to Maddie at the top of the arc.

Maddie catches the ball and shoots.

"Bang!"

The ball deflects off the basket.

He's still a little cold when he comes up.

Thompson picked up the defensive rebound, and James went to the frontcourt to organize the offense.

James can play the whole court, but no matter how iron-clad he is, he can't play the whole court alone at NBA intensity, and his role in the transition is more about organization and containment.

Jefferson's open cut, James sees the opportunity to throw his hand and pass.

However, just as he hit the ball, Maddie suddenly saved.

This time it was very sudden, it was completely a prediction, James was a little unexpected, and was forced to adjust the angle when he played the ball, but the direction of the ball was deviated, Jefferson reached out and didn't catch the ball, and the ball went straight out of bounds.

A mistake from James!

There were whistles on the spot, and although a good chance to score was missed in the last round, the successful defense made up for it.

The Nets' frontcourt offense is still West's back play in the low post.

The Cavaliers took it directly early this time, and Jefferson went over to help defend.

West gave the ball to outside Booker, who was helped by James.

"This way!"

Just then, Maddie shouted and beckoned again.

Booker found an angle and flicked the ball at Maddie.
