There was no suspense. Before the game started, LeBron James sprinkled magnesium powder on the sidelines as usual.
Seeing the former ¡®King¡¯ and now ¡®Traitor¡¯ making this signature move again at Quicken Loans Arena, Clevelanders booed even more violently.
This action seemed to seriously irritate them, causing them to be strongly hostile to James in the following time.
Because he was patted with encouragement by his teammate Wade, James seemed to look away completely. He didn't take the boos from the home fans seriously and walked to the midfield, waiting for the game to officially start.
Fang Chen was very satisfied with the reaction of the fans at the scene. Naturally, he wanted to see such a scene.
Although James and other players did not seem to be affected by such a scene, there is no doubt that the fans' reaction is definitely an incentive for the home team, and this will inevitably affect the morale of the visiting team to a greater or lesser extent.
Since the two sides in this game are facing a super team that attracts much attention from fans, and there are various topics between James and the Cavaliers, tonight's Quicken Loans Arena naturally attracted countless eyeballs. .
Whether it is domestically or locally in the United States, the response is overwhelming.
The fact that TNT broadcast this game nationally is enough to illustrate the importance of this game.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by three very famous commentators. At the same time, they were once all-powerful NBA superstars.
These three commentators are "Big Mouth" Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller. These three have achieved brilliant achievements in their respective careers.
Not only that, the partnership commentary between Barkley and Smith is also a highlight of the game.
As we all know, these two guys often bicker during the commentary process, which is quite interesting.
In fact, in the United States, many partners who commentate together will be tit-for-tat. This is already a style.
"Hey Kenny, tonight's game will probably be interesting. LeBron is back here. I believe the people in Cleveland are working hard to give him a good look." Charles Barkley sat on the left side of the live broadcast room, Reggie Miller Sitting in the middle, with Kenny Smith sitting on the right.
The reason for this arrangement is to prevent Sir Bar and Smith from disagreeing and quarreling.
"Fang, I have some questions about your starting lineup." Before the game started, Chris Janet frowned and asked Fang Chen beside him.
Fang Chen turned to look at him and asked curiously: "What's the problem?"
"I know you started Gerrard because he's a good defender and he's good on both ends of the floor. But when it comes to guarding LeBron, I think Jamario is better. You know, Jamario O's forward defense is the best in our team. Although he doesn't bring much to the team on the offensive end, since we have to defend against LeBron, I think Jamario is more reliable." Chris -Jian Te expressed his concerns.
Hearing this, Fang Chen smiled and shook his head, and replied: "Gerald will impress you, believe me."
Janet looked confused and nodded doubtfully, while Michael Malone next to him did the same.
Tonight, in addition to Fang Chen, Chris Janet and Michael Malone supervising the game tonight, the Cavaliers' newly hired Steve Clifford is also there.
In addition, Dan Gilbert, who attaches great importance to this game, naturally also came to the scene. However, he and the senior officials were all in the box, excitedly looking forward to tonight's game.
The referee on duty tonight is the famous Joe Crawford, and the two line referees are Joe DeRosa and Mark Udrich.
At this moment, Joe Crawford is walking to the center circle with a basketball and signaling to the players on both sides to stand in position.
Ilgauskas and Anderson Varejao came to both sides of the midfield line, both looking at the ball in the hands of Joe Crawford.
The fans at the scene were all excited because this most important game was about to begin.
Crawford looked at Big Z and Varejao and asked if they were ready. After receiving affirmative answers from the two, he threw the ball into the air and blew the whistle to start the game.
Almost at the same time as the whistle sounded, both big men jumped up.
Big Z and Anderson Varejao have been teammates on the Cavaliers for many years, so the two are familiar with each other's technical characteristics.
Varejao used his explosive power and jumping to compete for the ball, but Big Z had an advantage in size and experience. Therefore, in the first contest after the start, VarejaoFailed.
Ilgauskas passed the ball to his teammate, and the person who received the ball was the Heat's point guard, No. 15 Mario Chalmers.
Although Chalmers is the point guard of the Heat, most of the time, he plays the role of a shooter. The ball is basically controlled by LeBron James or Dwayne the Flash. -Wade.
Chalmers controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, and his opponent was Jrue Holiday.
Defending Chalmers is still a bit difficult for Jrue Holiday. Because Holiday is taller than Chalmers, but his physical fitness is obviously slightly worse than the latter.
But this does not mean that Holiday cannot guard Chalmers. After all, it is easier to guard a player who is similar to a shooter than a breakthrough player.
After Chalmers came to the frontcourt with the ball, he did not stick to the ball, but found James.
After receiving the ball, James leaned against Gerald Henderson, who was closely guarding him, to test the latter's strength.
What surprised him a little was that Gerald Henderson's strength was not weak, and judging from his defensive actions, this young guy's defense was quite good.
Of course, James cannot know that he is now facing the 'hacker' Sean Marion at his peak, and he also has the characteristics and abilities of Gerald Henderson.
However, Fang Chen also has some doubts. The reason why Marion is so strong in defense relies not only on his own defensive awareness, but also on his physical condition, especially his pair of arms that are comparable to those of a gibbon.
Although Gerald Henderson¡¯s physical condition is not weaker than Shawn Marion¡¯s, he does not have the latter¡¯s long arms.
Therefore, Fang Chen doesn¡¯t know how much better Gerald Henderson can play in Shawn Marion¡¯s defense.
"But what Fang Chen knows is that Gerald Henderson's defense is now at least one level better than Jamario Moon.
James was dribbling with his back to Gerard Henderson, but had no intention of passing the ball. Looking at this posture, it was obvious that he wanted to beat him alone.
In James¡¯ view, Henderson¡¯s defense is pretty good, but it¡¯s not so much that he doesn¡¯t dare to play in singles.
The moment James received the ball, the Clevelanders burst out with unparalleled energy. Of course, all of this energy was used to boo James.
Facing the boos from almost all fans in the audience, James seemed to turn a deaf ear and made a fadeaway jumper against Gerald Henderson's defense.
However, Gerald Henderson's defense was very good. Although he did not block James' fadeaway jumper, James' offense was still in vain.
"Cang Dang", when hearing this 'wonderful' music, the fans at the scene laughed happily.
