Time came in early October, and the preseason of the new season officially opened.
After nearly 2 months of training, this brand new Cavaliers team will also welcome their first show of the season.
Although it is only a preseason game, the rookies of the team are also eager to try, after all, this is the first time they have entered the NBA arena.
The Cavaliers' preseason first match was the Miami Heat.
The Heat basically maintained the lineup of last season. O'Neal, Wade and Beasley are still the team's three-man core group. If the biggest signing of the summer is that they signed Alstom on the free market. .
Both sides are interested in training, Wade and O'Neal both chose to suspend the game, while the Cavaliers are all wearing suits on the sidelines.
The Heat's starters were Chanmoos, Quentin Richardson, Beasley, Haslem and Joel Anthony.
On the Cavaliers side, Beverly, Danny Green, James, Ryan Anderson and Channing Fry.
The game soon started. The Heat attacked first. A ball-free pick-and-roll was picked up. Beasley leaned against Matthews and digged directly after receiving the ball.
Although Beasley has played consistently, he averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds last season, and his personal offensive ability is very good.
At this moment, he beat Green back hard, but he didn't push in a few times. When he was about to turn, James shot from the slant side and broke the ball in his hand.
The Cavaliers played fast break, James took the lead, and the other four also quickly followed.
Tang Tian's tactical system for the Cavaliers is the defensive counterattack he used in the Rockets playoffs last season.
This set of Heat's main tactics in the previous life is tailor-made for James, which is completely seamless.
James broke the dribble to the frontcourt. After attracting the attention of the defensive midfielder, he gave up the ball to Green on the weak side to follow up. Green took a three-pointer with the ball open.
"Oh!"
The three-pointer dropped his sword.
Green itself is a stable pitcher, and summer training kept him on a very good shooting rhythm.
Chalmers dribbled to the frontcourt, signalling his teammates to run while dribbling.
Beasley knew that Green couldn't move, and now he was picking up the ball to catch the ball.
Chalmers watched the ball out of Beasley's position.
"Snapped!"
He felt light as soon as he raised his hand.
The ball was cut off by Beverly!
The Cavaliers played a defensive counterattack directly, and James was like a Hummer who filled the throttle and rushed out from the half.
Beverley slammed the ball for a long time, and James rushed to the front to get a slam dunk.
The Cavaliers opened the Heat with a bit of a shit.
Tang Tian was also a little surprised.
The Cavaliers started with the smoothness he wanted.
He had thought these rookies would make mistakes, but he found that he might have underestimated his players.
The game continued. The Heat never expected that the Cavaliers' defensive pressure would be so great. Even if they were careful, they would still be intercepted by all kinds of balls.
And the Cavaliers' fast break is Feng Shui Qi, Mercury.
Except for James himself, the three points of the other four points are very sure, and he throws in 5 in the first quarter alone.
After the first quarter, the Cavaliers have led the Heat by 15 points.
This game, not only Tang Tian was very surprised, the Heat fans at the scene watched.
Why the Cavaliers rookie is so good!
This is not reasonable!
This shouldn't be!
In addition to James, two second-round picks, one who played badly last season, almost no bamboo pole inside, and a white inside defense dregs.
This lineup is much worse than the Cavaliers last season.
But playing is so easy.
And this is not the end. In the second quarter, Matthews and Thornton appeared, and they fought with the Heat for a while, completely blinding each other.
At halftime, the Cavaliers have led 25 points.
The Heat coach Spoelstra looked at the scene and went directly to the marginal players in the second half.
Tang Tian also finished the second half with a substitute.
In the end, the Cavaliers beat the Heat to the ground with 102 to 79 in the first game of the preseason.
James only played 15 minutes and contributed 10 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
The Cavaliers made 15 3-pointers.
The best performer was Matthews, who threw five of them alone and scored a game-high 20 points.
Green threw in three and scored 12 points.
Frye 2, Budinger 2 and Thornton 2.
This three-point rain was a bit exaggerated.
And this surprise has not stopped.
After winning the first game, the Cavaliers played preseason games with seven other Eastern teams in the remaining half of the month. In addition to losing to the Spurs, the remaining six games were won.
Matthews averaged 16.6 points and 5.4 rebounds, a 52% field goal percentage and a 47% three-point field goal percentage. He played the most beside James, where he looked like a drop draft and performed even better than most lottery shows.
Green also scored 10.8 points and 3.5 rebounds, shooting 51% from three-point range, the team's highest, of course, better than the statistics is his solid defense.
Thornton averaged 11.6 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. He is an absolute substitute and a master.
Although Budinger and Beverly did not score much, they also performed well.
Although the preseason record is irrelevant, the record of 7 wins and 1 loss still illustrates a problem.
The Cavaliers rookie played very well, better than Tang Tian imagined.
After the preseason game, the Cavaliers completed the final layoffs, Bobby Brown and Jawad Williams were laid off, and the 15-member squad for the new season was released.
Point guards: Jason Williams, Beverly
Shooting guards: Michael Finley, Danny Green, Matthews, Marcus Thornton
Small forwards: James, Artest, Budinger
Power forwards: Rashid Wallace, Ryan Anderson, JJ Hickson
Centers: O'Neal, Fry, Ben Wallace
After the lineup was confirmed, the team also assembled, preparing for the regular season.
The Cavaliers' opening match, EbookFREE.me, turned out to be the Rockets.
The schedule for the new season was decided in August in the offseason, when Tang Tian had already made a decision to join the Cavaliers.
The league's schedule is obviously intentional.
But the effect is very deep.
It can be said that at the end of the preseason, the fans had completely quarreled on social media.
Some Rockets fans are still betraying Tang ’s departure, while Cavaliers fans ridicule the Rockets management as a German dictatorship, driving Tang Tian, ​​Keith Jones, and even Artest all old away.
The game has not yet started, and the comments of various bull, ghost, and zombie gods have built up the momentum before the game.
In fact, not only the fans, but also the media, are also propaganda for this game.
"Whoever is right and who is wrong may be qualified to say." Buckley described this in TNT's program.
