Chapter 764: More Powerful!

Actually, people don't care much about this game. The next game is what the fans and the media want to see! In last season's preseason, the Brooklyn Nets were upset and advanced to the second round as dark horses, and the opponent eliminated was the Cleveland Cavaliers, one of the three teams that made fans feel the most likely to win the championship that season.

After a long summer, the team has changed somewhat. First of all, they feel that one of the issues that has arisen in this team is who will be the main point guard in the field of organizing guards.

Is Thomas Jr. or Wade or more biased towards Smith and Iman? Last season the team had a lot of problems to solve. And the media's expectations for them are still high! The team also felt that at least there was no problem in reaching the Finals, and they were eliminated by the Nets in the first round.

Head coach Lue has been questioned by the media and fans that season. Rose's departure, Wade's frequent time off, and Thomas Jr.'s limited playing time made fans a little confused about how the team was going to operate.

Until the end of the season, the Cavaliers have time to think about these issues early, and there is still a lot of time. Thomas Jr. was traded to the Lakers in exchange for Nance and Clarkson. Hill of the Kings also joined in with a high salary.

The team's cooperation from the preseason to the first game of the regular season still needs to be honed, but the mental state is quite high! The salary distribution of the team is more interesting, and the high salary is very high! And the salaries of players who have not received tens of millions of contracts are also relatively small.

It's a bit like the Rockets' salary distribution a few years ago. At present, there are three people with a single annual salary of 20 million, namely James, Love and Hill. There are three people with a salary of 10 million+! In other words, there are 6 people in the current Cavaliers team with a salary of more than 10 million a year!!

And other players, including Wade, are basically on a salary of 1 million to 3 million a year. Korver isn't far from that either, signing the Cavaliers to a guaranteed $4.09 million contract this year.

Korver could have chosen to leave, and two teams agreed to pay him a high salary. One team can offer a salary of $8.7 million a year, and another team offers a salary of $11.65 million a year! The contracts of both teams are guaranteed.

But maybe it's because I still have more confidence in the Cavaliers! James is older, but he can still play for a certain amount of time. And the rest of the team is starting to develop.

Among the issues, some of the older players in the Cleveland playoffs may be more physically dangerous for the team. Because of this, the team has to recruit some teams that are neither too young nor too old to be the team's offensive backbone at a certain time!

......

At the end of the second quarter, the Nets ended with a 63-51 lead over the Thunder! However, in the third quarter, the opponent's state immediately recovered, and finally ended 81:86! The difference has also narrowed from 12 points to 5 points!

"The third quarter was all about playing at the rhythm of the other side. In this case, it will be difficult for us to win against each other. Play at your own pace. In this way, the opponent will not be tied or even overtaken by the other party......"

No matter how they adjusted in the third quarter, the Nets didn't play like they did in the first half.

The opposing lineup in the final quarter of the game was Adams, George, Grant, Willis, Alex. On the Nets' side are Okafor, Egypt's Deyous, Williamson, Crabbe and Jeremy Lin!

Lin dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and Williamson was blocked by three players on the other side after taking over the basketball! Egypt's Diyus misses a jumper after getting his pass! Adams quickly got the basketball and went to the frontcourt, and Wei Shao took the basketball and hit a three-point shot directly! 86:84!

"The other side has always been very serious, so there is nothing to say about such a result. Just like the last game, we have done a lot this season" Chen's expression at this time was still a little lost.

117:110! In the fourth quarter, the opponent went crazy! The Nets also struggled to cope with such a team and lost to the Thunder in the end.

Adams 12 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists! George 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists! Grant had 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Westbrook had 24 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists! Alex had 16 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.

These two are the ones who are very efficient on the field! Pickled pepper and Wei Shao combined to score 54 points!

Mozgov of the Nets had 6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Okafor had 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and 3 assists! Williamson 33 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists! Burke had 15 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, and Jeremy Lin had 11 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists!

Brooklyn's performance in the first and second halves changed quite a bit. Even they themselves don't know why this is happening. The Thunder also felt a little strange, and in the third quarter of the game, the Nets were like a different team, so they still quickly found a way to close the score difference.

In the end, the Nets could only watch the game they should have won come to naught.

The pace was fast, and the team that didn't have time to think about it came to Cleveland. The knight has been waiting here for a long time. In the first game, the Cavaliers won 98-83 against the Orlando Magic. The last game won 102-91 against the Indiana Pacers!

Game 3 they finally welcomed the Nets! Both teams have changed a lot right now. Sooner or later, you're going to run into it. When I arrived at the Quick Loan Arena, I could obviously feel that the atmosphere inside was relatively depressing.

"It's good to play normally." That was the last thing Chan said in the locker room.

When they came to the arena, the fans didn't seem to have any kindness towards Brooklyn. The players on the other side of the knight looked at it from time to time. But it's been a long wait.

According to the news, James didn't have much of a good vacation this summer. His personal training hours seem to be the highest in the team!! Wade didn't spend much time with LeBron in training, and the Cavaliers were relatively low-key when interviewed.

"The opposing center, Okafor from the 76ers is a good guy. Watch out for the opposing Williamson, their defenders still have an advantage in the organisation, so don't follow too closely and be careful to cut off the contact between the players as much as possible when defending! Smith remembers ......"

Perhaps infected by the atmosphere of the scene and the players around him, Lu's speech speed was a little faster. But every word he said, the players were listening attentively!

"When Wade and James are on the court at the same time, don't defend Wade or James too much, one defense and one defense, and the attention around you will be good to help defend at some times. Once they do that they can attract our defense, then the opponent's burst will be fast, and despite the fact that they have just added some new players, Hill and Clarkson are both good players......"

The mood of the Nets players is a bit complicated and changeable right now, on the one hand, they are quite curious about the Cavaliers' lineup this year, and on the other hand, they feel that this team lost to Brooklyn with a lineup like last season, so this season the Nets have also adjusted and strengthened......

After coming on the court, the opposing starters were Love, Tristan, James, Smith, Wade. On the Nets' side are Okafor, Allen, Williamson, Jeremy Lin and Crabbe.

From the last game, Mozgov thought in his heart, that is, his performance seemed to have gone down after his playing time was reduced. And this Okafor, although he doesn't have much time, is quite efficient personally.

At the beginning of the game, after Lefu took the lead in getting the basketball, LeBron immediately asked for the ball and scored three points into the net without defense!! Immediately the scene erupted in shouts! Chen thought that the other party would be in such a state, and the little emperor was in the same state as playing the playoffs with the Nets!

Lin held the ball to the frontcourt, the opponent's defense was very strong, and Crabbe was rushed out by Tristan when he took the basketball and jumped for three points! Smith was fast, got the basketball and passed the ball to Wade, who was just over halftime.

The latter slowed down more calmly, and Lefu came over to take his basketball at this time, but after a few dribbles, he jumped up and hit the board directly into the basket! 6:0! The other side is not ready to give the Nets any chance!

At this time, the players felt that Coach Chen Yinan did not assign tasks to them very passionately, but quietly said the places and tactics that should be paid attention to, and it was over. Is it because you haven't gotten out of the mood of the last game? It can't be this even if you think about it.

In fact, what Chen is worried about now is that the Nets players are injured in such a situation! It's worse when a new player gets injured. The opponent has such momentum, Chen would rather lose a game than let the team's players get injured!

Crabbe slowly went to the frontcourt, Wade cut off the basketball directly after a few rounds with him, and then went to the frontcourt to hit a 2-point shot without defense! Chen quickly asked for a pause!

"It's a little too fast, not so fast. The Nets played well in the first half of the last game, and lost to the Thunder in the latter games. Pass more often and slower to ensure ...... efficiency"

Lue said to the players as soon as he saw them return. After all, the game has just begun.

"Burke replaces Crabbe, remember what I said, don't play with their rhythm like this. As long as you keep up with the opponent's footsteps when defending, don't use too much force, and don't imitate them when attacking with a similar rhythm to attack. We have to play at our own pace as we usually do in training......"

Clarkson came on after the timeout. His salary after coming to the Knight is still 10 million+ per year! This is a great boost to his confidence. Such a team is still the favorite team in the current league!

Both with the Kings and with the Los Angeles Lakers, who didn't make the playoffs last season, Cleveland maintained a lot of respect. I didn't haggle when I negotiated the price. And the players didn't say that they would raise their salaries, after all, this is the Cavaliers!

So both sides were happy, and they both got what they wanted. Trey took the basketball, swooped past the opponent in front of Clarkson and passed to Williamson. LeBron knew he was drawn to Trey! Williamson jumped up and hit a 2-pointer when he got his chance! 8:2! Burke came up and got 1 assist!

Wade went to the front court and passed the ball directly to Tristan under Lin's defense, who received the ball and dunked to score! 10:2!

Lin slowly got to the front, and Trey took his pass and used his rhythm to get past Clarkson and Tristan and immediately threw in to score! 10:4! Trey gave the Cavaliers the feeling of Thomas Jr. to the Nets.

The player is only 1.8 meters tall, but he has a good feel in terms of technique. And the body does look quite similar to Iverson. After returning from a timeout, the Nets also ended the embarrassment of a one-point bar.

However, the players on the scene can feel the aura of the opposing team and their defensive strength! Burke is not tall, so he has a certain advantage when it comes to breaking through.

James went to the frontcourt and hit a three-point shot under the bag of Williamson and Allen! 13:4!

Lin's movements were fast, and Williamson immediately rushed over after receiving his pass, and was slapped away by LeBron in the air! This hat may be in the top 10 goals of the week!!

"Boy, you're still tender," James said quietly, looking at Williamson.

"Of course, how can you be so old~" Williamson suddenly smiled and said to the little emperor. These words choked James all at once. This kid! It's pretty fast to pay it back! And it's not that hostile feeling.

This shows that the mentality is still quite good. So after knowing this, LeBron became silent. This kid does have a lot of advantages. If there is a fight, there are basically not many players in the league who can fight with him. But he's not the kind of guy who always wants to fight.

After Burke got Williamson's ball, he was accidentally cut off by Clarkson! The latter is a three-pointer directly to the frontcourt! 16:4! The Cavaliers are proving that they are back!

What is different from last season is that the players are very united and try to find a feeling on the pitch. There are more new players in this aspect.

Chen took a step forward, and the referee immediately noticed him, but the next second Chen withdrew again. Lin went to the front court and managed to make it 2+1 after getting past Clarkson and finding a quick foul from Tristan! 16:7!

If you don't break out again, the game will be played soon! It's not even 5 minutes, and the Cavaliers have already scored 16 points! Clarkson slowly went to the frontcourt, and Wade ran over to pick up the basketball and hit a three-point shot directly! 19:7!

It seems that the Nets stimulated the Cavaliers last season...... Burke didn't have a three-pointer after receiving the pass, and Williamson jumped up and dunked the ball in when he saw it! 19:9!

James went to the frontcourt, faced Allen and Okafor's bag and forced a shot to make Okafor receive a foul and hit 1 of 2 free throws! 20:9! Burke dribbled the ball and didn't take a few steps in the direction of the frontcourt, and Chan called a timeout again.
