The game on the court continued, with Harden dribbling to the frontcourt.

This past summer, Tang Tian redefined Harden.

For the past three years, the Thunder's Harden has been used as a shooting guard, but now the Thunder's new coaching staff defines Harden as a two-way guard.

The current lineup on the court is Harden, Tucker, Durant, Ibaka and Brown, and Harden is actually playing a point guard role that he hasn't tried in the past few seasons.

Harden directly called Durant's blocking, and after the disassembly, Harden burst to the basket, and Durant ran to the three-point line.

The Cavaliers didn't wrap up, Harden vs. Artest, and the European step changed in a row.

Artest got older and slower than last season, and he didn't keep up with it this time, watching Harden put the ball in the basket with a low hand.

14-12, the Thunder finally broke the scoring drought.

On the Cavaliers' offense, Paul dribbled to the frontcourt and directly signaled to pull away, and then ate Harden one-on-one.

Continuing to change direction, Harden was shaken and his center of gravity was obviously unstable.

"Smack!"

An accelerated squeeze passed, and Paul went straight to the basket with a flowing low hand.

However, Harden chased after him from behind and blocked it hard.

Paul saw it and turned around and threw the ball in.

Harden shook his head a little annoyed, turned his head to look at the bench, but saw Tang Tian clapping.

Defense, half by talent and half by attitude, not to mention how much improvement in Harden's ability, is that the attitude is much more positive than last season.

On this point, it is worthy of Tang Tian's affirmation.

Tang Tian's attitude made Harden a little happy, and when he dribbled the ball forward, his spirit seemed to be much better.

The organization of the frontcourt, Harden looked for Ibaka's blocking, and then burst to the basket after dismantling the ball.

This time the Cavaliers opted for the bag, and Artest clung to him and wrapped him to death.

However, Harden's ball speed is obviously much faster than Westbrook's, and he directly threw his hand to Ibaka, who received the ball and had a vacant opportunity to hit it from mid-range.

At 16-14, the Thunder still lead.

Although the point difference did not widen much, it can be clearly felt that in this section organized by Harden, the Thunder team played significantly more fluently.

Harden's excellent play allowed the Thunder to play the rhythm, but in the end, Paul immediately assisted Artest for an empty cut to score a goal.

The two sides are intertwined and do not give in to each other.

The game was deadlocked until the fourth quarter.

With two minutes left in the game, the score was 107-106, and the Cavaliers led the Thunder by one point.

Line-ups on both sides.

On the Cavaliers' side are Paul, Carter, Artest, Battier and Yao Ming.

Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka and Brown on the Thunder's side.

"Come on! Cavaliers! ”

The crowd began to cheer loudly for the home team.

Paul called Carter's outside block in the frontcourt, and after facing Harden, he made an accelerated stop from mid-range.

Harden struggles to jump to the distraction.

"Bang!"

Paul's shot went off the basket.

The ball was actually defended by Harden.

However, Yao Ming pressed Brown under the basket at this time to put the ball into the basket.

Although he is 32 years old, he is still dominant under the basket.

At 109-106, the Cavaliers took a crucial three-point lead.

Westbrook held the ball across the frontcourt, Harden's organization, he called for Durant's block again, this time Durant was going to the basket, and Harden stepped back to the three-point line to shoot.

"Bang!"

The shot was a little shorter.

Yao Ming picked up the defensive rebound.

Paul dribbled to the front court to start pressing the time.

When the game entered the final 10 seconds, he beckoned Green to come over and play the pick-and-roll.

The Thunder still didn't wrap up, and with Paul's passing ability, the effect of the pinch attack was not as good as the single defense.

Paul is up against Harden again.

Harden's defense is very aggressive, and the pressure is that the Cavaliers don't have much time to attack.

Paul was forced to have no comfortable space to shoot, and the last change of direction barely squeezed out a little space, and forced a shot in the face of Harden's interference.

"Bang!"

The shot was a bit short under the interference of the ball.

But the ball rolled in after a bumble!

A balloon!

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

111 to 106! The Cavaliers took a crucial five-point lead!

There is about 1 minute left in the game.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a timeout.

"Boris, Sapo, you two play, James, you and Kevin play blocking, Kevin goes to the three-point line, if the Cavaliers are wrapped, pass directly to the three-point line......"

Tang Tian arranged a three-point shooting tactic, and at this time, there was not much time, and the difference had to be narrowed to 2 points.

Coming back from the timeout, Dio and Sofrosa came on to replace Brown and Westbrook.

Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, and Dio and Westbrook opened up space at the three-point line on either side.

After all his teammates were in place, Harden beckoned Durant to block and shoot straight to the basket.

The Cavaliers didn't wrap up, and Artest defended Harden one.

Harden chose to shoot directly to the basket.

Artest sticks very tightly and does not give a mobile phone meeting.

Harden changed his pace in Europe and took a strong shot from Artest's defense.

"Smack!"

Artest slapped Harden on the hand.

The ball hits the board high and bounces into the basket.

The referee's whistle sounded half a second too late, and it was a 2+1!

Harden fell to the ground after the goal, but immediately stood up and yelled in excitement.

This ball is so critical!

There was a stirring at the scene.

There was a shout of excitement from the Cavaliers' bench.

Tang Tian also rushed to the sidelines at this time and waved his fist excitedly.

The three-point shot didn't come out, but Harden's 2+1 is actually no different from the three-point shot.

From aggressiveness on the defensive end to decisiveness on the offensive end, Harden did not focus on big-ass women this offseason as he did in his previous life, but on the training ground, and the effect was immediate and the improvement was quite significant.

Harden went to the free-throw line, the game went to dead ball, and Don replaced Soflosa with Westbrook.

Harden scored the ball against the boos from the crowd.

109-111, the difference between the two sides narrowed to 2 points.

The opening game was very intense, and the audience could no longer sit still on the sidelines.

"Come on! Cavaliers! ”

Fans stand and cheer for the home team.

The shouts of the people are all starting from the dantian, the volume after standing up is much more than when sitting, the cheers on the scene are deafening, and the players on the field are basically out of a state of semi-tinnitus at this time.

Paul held the ball to the front court and pressed the time, only this time he pressed it to about 15 seconds and attacked.

At this time, Carter, Battier, and even Yao Ming of the Rockets opened up the space.

Continuing to change direction, Paul did not choose the middle distance this time, but forced the basket.

Harden was forced to step back again and again.

When it came to the basket, Paul made a sharp turn, used excellent body control to shake off Harden, and turned around with a trademark throw.
