The Cavaliers scored Yao Ming's mid-range shot, and the Cavaliers did not fall behind 4-5.

Looking back, after Westbrook broke through, Yi Jianlian on the inside came to help defend.

Durant directly beckoned Ibaka to come over to block the dismantling at this time, and cut in on the weak side after the disassembly.

Westbrook jumped up and passed the ball to Durant, who hit a mid-range pull-up jumper that finally opened.

The Thunder's coaching staff is right, and this catch-and-shoot role is more suitable for Durant in regular time than in singles with the ball.

Westbrook learned to handle the bag, and the Thunder were simply reborn in the last few rounds.

Tang Tian was also overjoyed, he thought that it would take a long time for him to transition, but he didn't expect him to underestimate Kidd's role, and his performance in this first game really surprised him.

After more than three minutes in the first quarter, the Thunder led 12-6, and Westbrook alone scored 5 points and 2 assists, and the role of the tactical core was quite obvious.

This is to sweep away the haze of last season's finals and completely reverse the momentum!

Casey, seeing that the momentum was not right, reached out early and called a timeout.

"Well done, just play like this, we can win the game." Tang Tian opened his mouth to encourage the team members.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers made lineup changes, with Carter, Battier and Artest replacing Green, Butler and Yi Jianlian.

This is the first time that the lineup for last season's finals has been laid out.

It can be seen that Casey wants to win this game as well.

Westbrook's breakaway in frontcourt, Battier strikes directly from the free-throw line.

Westbrook jumped to split the ball, but Battier straightened his hands early and interfered with his pass.

He didn't see Durant, pulled the ball back in the air and shot before his body fell.

However, it was too difficult to clamp the ball, and the line of sight was blocked, so he threw a three-stick shot directly.

The scene burst into laughter.

Kidd pulled Westbrook for a while.

The Cavaliers went on offense, and Paul drew the bag to the bottom corner Battier, who hit a three-pointer.

The Cavaliers closed 9-12.

"Defend! Defend! ”

After the timeout, there were signs of momentum and the fans on the sidelines cheered loudly for the home team under the help of the DJ.

Westbrook broke through with the ball again in frontcourt, and this time Carter contracted early, and Westbrook jumped up and then split the ball.

Carter's single defense ability is not as good as Green's, but he has a lot of experience, and he was already retreating at the moment when Westbrook jumped, and this pass was halfway down the road, and he jumped up and grabbed it.

Carter broke the ball and took the ball directly to the front court to break fast, Kidd wanted to foul but didn't make a foul, chased to the backcourt to bring Kartra down, and sent him to the free throw line.

After 1 strong shot miss, 1 pass error, and the Cavaliers changed lineups, Westbrook seemed to be unable to handle the bag at once.

Kidd pulled Westbrook on the outside at this time to continue coaching.

However, what is a little different from before is that perhaps he is not satisfied with his performance, Westbrook is angry at this time, and he feels like he is about to explode at any time.

Tang Tian saw this and knew that it would take time to change a person's style of play, and when Carter's free throws were over, he got up directly to the sidelines, signaled to change tactics, and asked Kidd to organize and hit Durant's point.

Kidd dribbles to the frontcourt and to the frontcourt outside the three-point line.

Ibaka was trying to cover Durant, but Battier and Artest did a really good job of defending the front, and after a hand-to-hand fight, they didn't have a chance to make a move.

Just then, Westbrook cut inside and shouted.

Kidd hit the ball beautifully, and Westbrook caught the ball and went straight to the dunk.

Yao Ming stood up, Westbrook didn't go sideways, and directly dunked the ball to the rebound.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, Westbrook found the referee to theorize after landing, Yao Ming received the defensive rebound and played the fast break directly, and Paul received the ball in the middle of the court and directly shook off Kidd for a layup and scored.

Westbrook's complaints didn't work, and he came back with even more unpleasant faces.

Tang Tian frowned, Westbrook's temper was the most explosive among the four young men.

"Hey! Calm down! That's just a penalty! Tang Tian shouted at Westbrook, who was retreating.

Westbrook nodded, then continued to push forward with the ball.

Up front, he fed the ball to Kidd and ran to the weak side.

Seeing this, Tang Tian retreated to the bench and sat down.

Kidd's organization, this time Durant finally shook off the defense and came out to catch the ball.

He gave the ball over as soon as possible, and Durant's catch shot.

Battier jumps and covers his eyes.

"Bang!"

The ball didn't go in.

Serge Ibaka rushed to grab the offensive rebound and then distributed it to Westbrook.

Kidd reached out to reorganize, but Westbrook didn't hear it, and rushed in with the ball as if he were carrying a bag of explosives.

It's a hit on the head.

Three steps to step up to the flying buckle.

"Smack!"

Artest came out of the diagonal side and slapped the ball off Westbrook's hand.

After the break, Artest wanted to play a fast break but was fouled by Kidd early.

Westbrook blew up directly after landing and shouted at the referee.

The referee gave a technical foul with a flick of his hand.

There was boos from the audience.

Tang Tian shook his head helplessly when he saw this, this was really a "time bomb" Westbrook.

He got up and called Harden and Tucker up and put them on the court to replace Westbrook and Kidd.

Westbrook looked angry, and Kidd had been verbally signaling him to calm down as he went off the court.

Tang Tian didn't go up at this time, it was enough to have Kidd here, and learning how to control his temper was also a level he had to learn.

Before, he thought that having Kidd in Westbrook was to open up the second line of the governor, but it seemed that he was still thinking too much, and like in his previous life, this still needed a process of change.

In fact, the opening game can be like that, which is already a big improvement from last season.

The game on the field continues.

The Cavaliers played a frontcourt cooperation, after Carter and Battier opened up the space, Paul's breakthrough attracted the bag and distributed to Carter on the outside, Carter shook Tucker who made up for the defense, and then shot to score three points.

Carter Sr.'s performance was as good as last year's Finals.

The two sides played half a quarter and the game was tied at 12.

"A beautiful three-pointer, although Don has left Cleveland, the lineup and system he has built for this team is still there, and the Cavaliers have played more system and experience." The commentator on the sidelines couldn't help but sigh after watching the last three points.

"Yes, Casey is Don's right-hand man, he may not be better, but he has enough things to coach this team." The guests on the side also chimed in.
