The Godfather of Basketball

Looking back, Durant is still in a low position.

Battier then switched to Durant.

Durant turned around and hit his back, Battier jumped up ahead of time with rich experience, and the iconic blindfold defense directly blocked Durant's sight.

In addition to being unable to guard Kobe, Battier can make most of the league's scorers clear.

"boom!"

Although he is tall and has a long arm, he suddenly lost his sight, and Durant's shot still missed.

But at this moment, Perkins caught Yao Ming, and Ibaka pressed Carter to grab the offensive rebound, and then made a tip-up.

Although the old Carter can still jump, it is very difficult to meet a power forward who is stronger than himself.

When the Cavaliers went to the frontcourt, it was still Paul and Yao Ming's pick-and-roll. This time the Thunder's defense also changed. Westbrook went to cover Yao Ming, and Sefolosha used his speed to help defend Paul at the basket.

Paul flicked the ball to Carter on the outside, and Carter made a three-pointer directly after receiving the ball.

"boom!"

The ball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket, and Carter also made a three-pointer.

Battier, Carter, and Green all have a stable three-pointer. The Cavaliers' lineup is full of space, and the Thunder can't solve it all at once.

On the one hand, there is overflowing talent, on the other hand, there is plenty of space, and no one can restrain the other side very well for a while.

In the first quarter, the main players of both sides played almost the whole game.

The score on the court was 36 to 31, and the Thunder held a 5-point lead.

In the second quarter, the two sides gave the main players time to rest and replaced the full bench lineup.

For the Cavaliers, Jeremy Lin and Butler are on the outside, Hill and Artest are on the front line, and Whiteside is the center.

On the Thunder side, Fisher and James Harden on the outside, Antawn Jamison and Nick Collison on the front, and Nazr Mohammed on the center.

In the Cavaliers' offense, Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and directly organized the offense.

Hill and Butler came out of the screen and cut to the basket respectively.

Jeremy Lin flicked the ball to Hill, and Hill made a mid-range shot.

"Shua!"

The ball crashed into the net.

The Cavaliers' bench lineup, like the starting lineup, already has a mature tactical system.

Fisher dribbles upfield and hands the ball straight to Harden.

Although the position on the court is shooting guard, Harden is the organizer of the Thunder's bench lineup.

Jamison pulls to a high pick-and-roll, and Harden takes the ball and goes straight to the basket.

He is fast.

Hill's reaction was not slow, and he went straight up.

"boom!"

However, Harden was still very strong, and directly knocked Hill away, facing Whiteside with a throw.

"boom!"

The ball went over Whiteside's fingertips and hit the board high.

The ball bounced and fell into the net pocket.

Harden's shot also went in.

In the Cavaliers' offense, Jeremy Lin took the initiative to find Hill's pick-and-roll, and used his speed to throw off Jamison and insert himself into the basket.

At this time, Collison took advantage of his excellent movement speed to stand in the basket and interfered with both hands.

Jeremy Lin's layup was interfered and missed, and Muhammad used his experience to block Whiteside and receive a defensive rebound.

The Thunder played a counterattack. Harden dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, leaving Hill and Butler in a row, and rushed to the frontcourt for a layup, which caused Jeremy Lin's pulling foul.

With two free throws, Harden scored all of the Thunder's second-quarter points.

The Cavaliers' offense, Hill's high organization, and Artest's cut and layup.

Muhammad's blocking interference, Artest's shot slipped out of the basket.

Collison received another defensive rebound.

Jeremy Lin yelled to retreat at this time, and the Cavaliers did not give the Thunder a chance to play a fast break.

Harden dribbled the ball directly to the frontcourt.

"Teaming! Watch out for double-teaming!" Casey stood up and shouted at the players.

Harden and Jamison pick and roll.

Hill and Butler went straight to Harden who held the ball.

Harden gave the ball to Jamison at the top of the arc.

"boom!"

Jamison's three-point shot missed.

After rejecting Tang Tian to join the Thunder last summer, Jamison took on the role of the team's backup forward, but because of the existence of Durant and Ibaka, he didn't have much playing time, his statistics declined significantly, and his state was not good. Very affected.

The Cavaliers' offense, Jeremy Lin and Hill's cooperation cut to the basket, this time he was decisive, causing Muhammad's thug foul.

Made two free throws.

The point difference on the field is still 5 points.

"OKC! OKC!"

The fans at the scene began to cheer for the home team led by the DJ.

Harden broke through with the ball in the frontcourt, and the Cavaliers also double-teamed.

Harden did not choose to continue to rush in this time, but dribbled back to the three-point line and called for a second pick-and-roll.

This time, Collison came out of the pick and roll.

Collison is not as tall as Jamison, but he is wider than Jamison, which leaves a little space behind him.

Harden directly retreated to the shot outside the three-point line.

Artest squeezed past Collison in the next second and jumped to block the shot.

Harden was knocked and fell to the ground, and the referee immediately blew his whistle.

"Shua!"

And at this moment, the ball went directly into the net!

This is a 3+1!

"James~~Harden!!"

The cheers of the fans exploded amidst the loud shouts of the DJ on the spot.

Harden was also very excited. After getting up, he beat his chest and roared twice at the audience.

Harden's extra penalty hit, he personally scored 7 points in the second quarter, helping the Thunder widen the point difference to 9 points.

A very dangerous difference.

Tang Tian was thoughtful at this moment.

The Harden on the scene is far inferior to the "bearded" Harden in the Rockets period, but his offensive skills seem to have been polished almost, and what he lacks is experience and stability.

The Cavaliers are not easy to play as a substitute.

Harden made an extra free throw, and the Thunder played an 8-4 spurt.

The Cavaliers' offense didn't score, Harden turned around and took advantage of the containment, and gave the ball to Collison, who also scored with a cut under the basket.

46 to 35, the Thunder's lead came to 11 points.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called for a timeout.

After the timeout, Tang Tian replaced all the main players except Yao Ming, and Varejao also replaced Whiteside.

The Thunder's offensive firepower from the bench is fierce, so let the game enter the main rotation time ahead of schedule.

Paul's frontcourt organization waited until his teammates opened up the space, and then greeted Varejao's pick-and-roll.

The Thunder wanted to pinch Paul, but Varejao's body was very thick, and he blocked Fisher directly. Paul accelerated in front of Collison, and directly hit a layup with a low hand to score.

Harden's dribble breakthrough in the front court was double-teamed again, and he pulled out beyond the three-point line and then shot a three-pointer. However, Battier's defense was much faster than Artest's on this ball. The eyes directly blocked Harden's shooting sight.

"boom!"

Harden missed a three-pointer, Varejao received the defensive rebound, turned around and gave it to Carter, and the Cavaliers played a fast break.

Paul caught the ball in the frontcourt and changed direction, passing Harden and scoring a layup.

After a timeout, a wave of 4-0 came back, and the Cavaliers narrowed the point difference to 7 points.

Over there, Brooks couldn't sit still anymore, turned around and called out all the main players.

Tang Tian's adjustment was to force him to make a substitution.

Harden caused Carter's blocking foul, the game entered a dead ball, and the Thunder also replaced all the main players.
