"The Thunder's inside defense has really encountered a test today. O'Neal has scored in the Thunder's three-second zone twice in a row, and James has not started to attack the inside yet. When James also started attacking, An and their defensive pressure will only be greater!"

After O'Neal scored that goal, all commentators were worried about the Thunder's once indestructible interior defense. O'Neal was too active today, completely different from his previous "lifeless" performance on the offensive end.

However, now, the Cavaliers also have to consider how to curb the Thunder's offense. Durant, who ranks No. 1 in the league per game, is not a big deal.

Westbrook is still in possession of the ball. Although Westbrook has not scored more than ten in two consecutive games, he dare not do anything wrong today.

Cavaliers point guard Anthony Parker tangled Westbrook very uncomfortable. Although this guy has very limited personal abilities, his rich experience helped him make up for this shortcoming.

Whether in nBa or European League, Parker has left his own footprints. Such a veteran who has been through the battlefield is particularly experienced in defense.

Although Westbrook stumbling, he still safely pushed the ball to two meters outside the three-point line. He began to look for someone, Durant was slid from the bottom line, and James was delayed by Angel's unball pick-and-roll for a while.

"Just take advantage of the moment!" Westbrook made a quick pass, and Durant, who had been out of pocket, arrived in a millisecond and caught the ball.

As soon as Yi received the ball, James also quickly rushed forward. At this moment, Anjie, who was originally in the three-second zone, also came out to pick-and-roll for Durant again. Now the entire Thunder's offensive system is completely serving Durant.

After Durant received the ball, he did not give James a chance to adjust. He immediately broke through the inside. James moved his steps without thinking. As soon as he took a step, he collided with An Jie who was pick-and-roll.

"An's pick-and-roll is not leaking! KD breaks through, O'Neal goes up to make up for defense!"

James was blocked again, and O'Neal had to face the young scoring champion by himself.

Just when Durant was about to bump into O'Neal's "meat mountain", he suddenly jumped up, scaring O'Neal to feel his arms raised.

Unexpectedly, Durant's ball was not about to hit the frame, he jumped just to pass the ball. Durant used a nearly hooking move to pass the ball, who would catch it?

"An! He cut in time for KD pick-and-roll! Now O'Neal has been caught by Durant, and there is no one in front of An!" McBrien applauded for the tacit cooperation between Anger and Durant.

"Damn it!" O'Neal saw An Jie flashing past him. If it were ten years ago, he could keep up with him and return to defense in time, and then use a rough block to win applause from home fans. But now, O'Neal can no longer take steps.

Now, only James Yi is following Angel. However, the chance of this ball being able to defend itself is slim.

Angel received a pass from Durant and directly started three steps to the basket, jumped with one foot, and dunked with both hands.

James also jumped up after Angel jumped, but he was still a few centimeters away from blocking Angel's ball.

"Pay attention to Shaq!" After the dunk landed, An Jie smiled and patted the shark's fat butt, and then high-high with Durant who gave him a second pass.

"My fault Shaq, you just defend the inside and leave it to me." Although Angel scored the goal, James knew that it was because he let Durant go.

"It doesn't matter. Next time that guy Durant breaks through, I'll go to make up for defense. Don't relax your vigilance against An. And..." The two of them started to communicate, and this scene was not common.

"A strong response, I bet this tactic was not drawn by Coach Van Gundy, at least in the second half. But don't forget that these guys are called Thunder Third Young Master. Their talent on the offensive end is the second best in the league!"

After that, the Cavaliers and the Thunder had offensive and defense, O'Neal did not take another shot after scoring the opening two goals. It was because James had made two consecutive breakthroughs by KD and the offense became strong and he started to fight. The second was because O'Neal was replaced by Mike Brown early, and O'Neal, who is almost forty years old, can no longer play thirty or even forty minutes like before.

Not long after fighting against Anjie, the "Sharks" after the game were already sweating. What about Anjie? It wasn't easy. Although the Cavaliers power forward J.J. Hickson had an average mid-range shot accuracy, it was still a bit threatening, so Morris was completely pulled out. So from the beginning to the end, Anjie was just fighting O'Neal, and he couldn't even take a breath.

After that, the second-hand plastic surgery between the two sides was difficult to solve. The Cavaliers' bench depth was criticized by the outside world, and the situation on the Thunder was not much better. Ibaka does have great potential, but he can't cause any storm now. Livingston? That guy has long since no halo bonus of "genius".

It was not until the last twenty seconds that James made a three-pointer, and finally allowed the Cavaliers to lead the Thunder three-pointer. This advantage was maintained until the end of the yi quarter.

23-26, the Thunder fell behind just because of James' three-pointer in the last moment.

"In the yi quarter, you defended James well! But KD, your own shooting percentage was also very low by James! Don't fall into singles and run the ball. Sevorsa got a lot of opportunities today, but none of them got the ball rights, so I hope you can share the ball with more people!" Van Gundy did not waste time. As soon as the players got off the court, he sat in the middle of the players with a tactical board and a small bench.

"How is it? Are you going to play singles for you in the second half?" Mike Brown's situation is very different from Van Gundy. He is asking for James's opinion, just like James is the head coach of the Cavaliers.

"No! We have to give Shaq more opportunities! Only when Shaq suppresses the Chinese can we play more easily!" James did not make O'Neal decide this way, because this is indeed the only way to solve Anjie's troubles on the defensive end.

"Very good, then let's fight like this. Listen..." Mike Brown immediately formulated tactics according to James's request. His coaching style was often ridiculed by others, but leading the Cavaliers to the throne of the Eastern Conference is the bottom line!

The head coaches of both teams are taking the time to arrange the tactics of the second quarter. The more intense the game is, the more problems the two sides have exposed. All coaches hope to stuff all the problems they have in the game to the players, so the break between the festivals will always seem very hasty.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder indeed implemented Van Gundy's arrangement, and the number of times they passed the ball increased significantly.

"Durant held the ball again, he broke through! But James never left his step!"

Durant could feel that James had increased his defensive intensity, but he did not intend to attack and break through the ball by himself, just to shrink the Cavaliers' defensive lineup.

Meanwhile, Westbrook bypassed Angel's unball pick-and-roll to the bottom corner. Durant raised his hand to pass the ball, and Westbrook became the offensive player as expected.

"Ann's pick-and-roll without the ball is very timely, but Anthony Parker's pace of repairing defense is also not slow! This ball has a bad chance!"

Westbrook made a shot and went to the scene when everyone was focusing on him, suddenly passed the ball and the basketball shifted across the board. Seifrosa received the ball at the top of the three-point line.

"Sabor Sefrosa! Everyone forgot about him, the Swiss were leaked!"

Facing the opportunity of large open space, Seferosa did not waste it. He shot slowly, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell straight into the basket.

"Brush!" The beautiful voice made Seferossa very excited. He raised his right hand and made three fingers.

At the beginning of the game, the Thunder responded and tied the score!

The subsequent games feasted the fans of the Loan Arena. The excitement of this game was no less than that of the Christmas battle.

"Ann shook O'Neal with his footsteps. The big shark is too slow now! Oh! He did it, God! The one-handed dunk after turning around was on O'Neal's head!"

"Shak tank-like propulsion, small hook! Basketball scores, and extra penalty! Anjie shouldn't have reached out."

"Russell Westbrook! The ball is in! A wonderful trolley layup, who dares to underestimate the attacking ability of the Thunder No. 0 defender!"

"LeBron James! Tomahawk-style slam dunk, this steal dunk yi dragon will definitely be selected into the top ten goals!"

The Thunder Cavaliers don't give in to each other. If you score a goal, I will still get one. The scores of both sides have climbed alternately, but the gap has not appeared.

Until three minutes and fifty seconds left in the second quarter, Van Gundy replaced all the overly consumed Thunder three young masters. Except for Morris, the other four were substitutes.

But the decision made by Mike Brown made Van Gundy nervous.

The Cavaliers also only left 1 player on the court, but that player was the Cavaliers No. 23, LeBron James.

"It seems that Coach Mike Brown is planning to let James play the whole quarter."

"Is it really okay? After all, the confrontation between the two sides in the second quarter is too fierce, and the consumption must be very huge."

"Others certainly have problems, but for James, it's OK!"

And James' first attack fulfilled the sentence he understood.

He easily broke through the defense of Thunder substitute guard Eric Meno, who went straight into the inside, ignored Morris's backup defense, and forced a layup to score the ball.

Although James was knocked out of the bottom line by Morris, he did not hesitate at all. He quickly got up and returned to defense quickly.

"No, Meno cannot defend James, Livingston, Idon Thomas? No!" McBrien shook his head. In terms of substitution strategy, Van Gundy was defeated by Mike Brown this time.

Although the Thunder's inside strength has greatly improved this season, the depth of the outside players' bench is even worse than last season in some aspects.

Livingston can occasionally play good balls, but more often he is like sleepwalking. Idon Thomas has a long-dressed dreadlocks, but his skills and degree do need to be improved. Eric Meno is indeed good at scoring, but his body is a little thin. Kyle Wiffle, he exposed the shortcomings of a second round pick, and the upper limit is too low! After the flash in the pan last season, this guy has gradually faded out of the rotation lineup. The rookie season is at its peak, so it is about players like him.

Although Ibaka and Morris were in the inside, with James' shot combination, these two big men did not have much to limit the "little emperor".

More than three minutes seemed to be short, but it allowed the Thunder players to go through a journey to hell.

"It's eight points, James Yi personally made the Thunder fall behind by eight points in an instant! Coach Van Gundy still doesn't want to substitute people. He wants to save the strength of the Third Young Master of Thunder until the end!"

Finally, when the whistle at the end of the half-time sounded, the fans of the Loan Arena were delighted to see that the game that was originally difficult to solve had already been widened by James!

45-56, the Thunder collapsed in the last three minutes of the second quarter, falling behind the Cavaliers!

James is in power, and this is really the country he has built up by himself!

With 9 points in the first half, James' terrifying dominance was revealed again!

It’s just that James consumed so much physical strength in the first half. In the second half, can he still guarantee that he can swing at a high level for a long time?
