I have to say that this year's knights are really champions.

James, who is still guarding the league's No. 1 throne, has returned, and the boss has spent a lot of money to put out a luxurious Royal Foresters lineup, coupled with the best record in the league, in this case, there is nothing wrong with saying that they are the championship team this year.

In terms of record, the only team that can compete with them slightly is the Warriors who have gone crazy in the West, a team composed of a group of perverted three-pointers, and currently the only team in the league that shoots more three-pointers than two.

As for the defending champion Spurs, well, judging by the record, they can only be in Pot 2 right now.

The first gear plays the second gear, and it's not fair to look at it.

But because the Spurs have been James' nemesis for many years, they have stubbornly pulled back the grades on both sides.

This game is destined to be a battle for the dragon.

The referee signaled that the game was about to start, and the starters on either side began to enter the field.

On the Cavaliers' side, James is full of confidence, and this should be the first time in more than two years that he has been so confident to face the Spurs.

Lao Tzu now wants the outside line to have the outside line, to the inside line to have the inside line, to have a substitute to have a substitute, the soldiers are strong and strong, I can't do you anymore, I, I will bring the talent to the ......

There was a little change on the Spurs' side today, I don't know what to ask, in this kind of critical game, Popovich actually adjusted the starter, and Duncan didn't play! Jokic came up to play the starting power forward!

What the heck? Is this a hidden Duncan or what? How can a rookie start in such a crucial game?

The Cavaliers were clearly upset, especially James, who felt he was being underestimated.

I'm here with the Royal Foresters lineup, and you're actually pressing the team's main front on the bench! What are you doing here?

Of course, James' unhappiness could not affect the Spurs' decision, and according to their pre-game arrangement, in order to blatantly fall behind, they had to make a little adjustment, and it just so happened that the team also wanted to develop a combination of Jokic and Whiteside, so let Duncan rest first.

This should be one of the few substitute experiences that Duncan has been in the league for more than ten years.

Monroe and Whiteside go to the middle circle and they're ready to jump ball.

In terms of stature, the two are very close, so it is difficult to judge the victory or defeat of the jumping ball.

James glanced at Leonard next to him and Qin Yan who was standing diagonally opposite him, and then looked at him and wanted to scold a sentence or two to express his dissatisfaction, but in the end he didn't say anything, since you put Duncan on the field, then you will bear the consequences yourself!

"Tick-"

The referee blew the whistle, and the two big men jumped up at the same time and chased after the basketball.

Whiteside had a slight advantage in bounce, so the Spurs still took the opportunity to attack.

Parker drove the ball steadily, he knew that the opponent in front of him, Irving, was a very fast young man, and if Parker was five years younger, he might be able to compete with him, but for now, he just wanted to be steady.

Qin Yan was still standing at 45 degrees on the left side of the three-point line, and it was James who was defending him, and Redick's small body would never be able to stop Qin Yan, so James directly switched defenses and let Redick go to Leonard.

Jokic and Whiteside are two to go to the inside position, and Monroe and Love on the Cavaliers' side are honestly stronger than the Spurs duo at the moment, after all, Jokic is still a rookie.

There is no good opportunity on the inside, and Qin Yan and James on the outside are one-on-one, in this case......

"Kehuai!"

Parker decisively distributed the ball to Leonard, and he was the only one on the court who was relatively relaxed.

Leonard was over, and Redick was already in a defensive position in front of him.

To be honest, Redick's defense is not bad, theoretically it is at the league average, but don't forget that Leonard is a defensive professional, and Redick's defensive action of this level, in his opinion, is pediatric.

"There is a flaw!"

Accelerating violently, Leonard prepares to force his way through Redick.

Reddick knew that he should suffer in terms of strength, and the muscle lines on the black boy in front of him were obvious, and he could imagine that this thing usually soaked in the power room.

So he wisely chose to retreat, not to go toe-to-toe with Leonard, but just to block his breakthrough route.

This is undoubtedly the most correct choice to deal with a guy who can only break through, but Leonard is not, he has played very slippery in the mid-pitch this season, and some people call him the "little prince of mid-pitching".

In this case, you Reddick is not close to you, is it a joke?

Suddenly made an acceleration feint, stopped and retreated to open the distance again, and Leonard jumped on the spot when there was no one around!

When Redick wanted to defend, it was too late, he himself and Leonard were two steps faster, Leonard took a big step back, and the distance between the two was even greater, even if he had stretched out his arms and pounced, there was still no way to cause Leonard any trouble.

"Uhhh

Scoring steadily, Leonard opened the scoring for Spurs.

James's face froze, it seems that the legend that Leonard's offensive ability has improved this season is not fake, and the mid-range shot just now is very slippery.

Looking at the somewhat foolish Qin Yan next to him, James suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a pit.

"Could it be that this guy is here to contain me in this game? The real main point of attack is the kid with facial paralysis? ”

The thought crossed his mind, but he wasn't sure, it was only the first round, and it was only time to see what was going on.

In the Cavaliers' offensive round, James didn't ask for the ball, he pulled Qin Yan out and didn't let Qin Yan have a chance to go inside.

Irving was immediately happy when he saw that James didn't want the ball, and he faced Parker and began to play tricks, and at the same time motioned with his eyes to Lefu to come out to block the dismantle.

As a newcomer, Jokic is still starting for the first time, and he is naturally a little nervous when he comes up against the current top power forward in the league.

Therefore, he chose to follow Lefu, anyway, he does not seek merit but seeks no fault, and it is a very correct choice to follow Lefu no matter how you look at it.

Lefou's thick body is really the same as a bear, and his block is quite strong, and Parker can't get around it at all!

Irving seized the opportunity, drove at full throttle, soared to the top speed at once, and then went straight to the Spurs inside!

Jokic knew it was bad the moment he saw Parker crash into Lefou, and the other side must be about to break through, but he is running out now, and he can't go back to retreat for a while!

That's right, Irving flew past Jokic like an arrow, and he hit the inside and made a strong layup, but Whiteside had to dodge it in order not to foul.

"My bad, my bad!"

Jokic was so nervous that he quickly raised his hand.

But the rest of the Spurs don't matter, don't be nervous, Nikola, the game has just begun, and it really depends on you whether you can fall behind as planned!
