January 7, Cleveland, Quicken Loans Arena.

At this time, the stadium was already full, and the fans were patiently waiting for the game to start.

This focus game attracted so much attention that it was not only broadcast live across the United States, but also sports channels also obtained the broadcast rights, bringing exciting games to domestic fans.

At the same time, NBA Commissioner David Stern turned on the TV to watch the game.

He was very satisfied with the publicity of this game.

After the "Gungate" incident occurred, Stern couldn't sleep at night and tried every means to minimize the impact.

Therefore, the league deliberately promoted this game to divert fans' attention.

"I hope these two little guys won't disappoint me!"

After muttering to himself, Stern looked at the TV screen intently.

Back at the game site, players from both sides have completed their warm-up activities.

The starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen at the scene.

Cavaliers starting lineup: Anthony Parker, Mo Williams, James, Hickson, O'Neal.

Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Ellis, Maggette, Sun Yi, Randolph.

Not long after, the referee blew his whistle, signaling the starting players from both sides to come to the center circle and prepare for a jump ball.

James came to the technical stage and made his iconic opening move, holding a handful of magnesium powder and throwing it into the air, triggering cheers and shouts from some fans at the scene.

On the bench of the Warriors, Sun Yi watched James' domineering moves and complained silently in his heart.

"You're so pretentious!"

Immediately, he stood up, took off his training clothes, and followed his teammates towards the center circle.

At this moment, the system prompt voice sounded in Sun Yi's mind.

"Ding! A random mission is triggered: compete with the little emperor!"

"Goal 1: The host successfully breaks through James 3 times in the game against the Cavaliers; reward: 1,5000 training points in white wristbands."

"Goal 2: Host blocks James twice in the game against the Cavaliers; reward: green sneakers and 11,000 training points."

"Goal 3: In the game against the Cavaliers, the host will limit James' rebound data to no more than 5; reward: 11,000 training points in green shorts."

"Goal 4: The host will limit James' assist data to no more than 5 times in the game against the Cavaliers; reward: green headband and 11,000 training points."

After the system's prompt voice ended, Sun Yi quickly walked towards the center circle with a happy mood.

In the jump ball session, Randolph easily defeated the elderly O'Neal, touched the basketball first, and moved back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the first opportunity to attack.

Curry quickly dribbled the ball forward and came to the top of the arc to organize the attack.

With the help of Sun Yi's cover, Xiao Gongju ran to the mid-range area on the right, received the pass from the primary school student, stopped suddenly and took off to shoot.

James quickly came to help defend and interfered with the shot.

Bang!

The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!

Under the basket, O'Neal used his huge body to block the position and collect defensive rebounds.

Although the old O'Neal cannot fly into the sky and escape, he relies on his rich game experience to do a very good job of blocking defensive rebounds.

The Cavaliers' rebounding this season is very good, ranking among the top in the league.

Anthony Parker quickly dribbled the ball forward and passed the ball to James just after halftime. After fulfilling his duties as a ball-handling tool, he ran to the bottom corner to ambush.

James received the pass and made a three-threat move. Seeing that Maggette was indifferent, he released the ball and quickly started to break towards the basket.

Maggette was already prepared and moved quickly to block the ball.

The Warriors' strategy to defend James before the game was to make shots rather than bursts, and decisively attack James when he broke into the penalty area.

James' tried-and-tested tank-style breakthrough failed to squeeze away the muscular man Maggette, so he could only carry Maggette and rush inside.

Randolph, who was near the penalty area, quickly came to help defend against double teams.

Seeing this situation, the little emperor gave the ball away with difficulty.

Mo Williams received the pass, raised his hand to fake a shot, then released the ball and stepped back to the left for a jump shot.

Ellis was not shaken away and immediately rushed to interfere.

"when!"

The basketball hit the front edge of the basket and bounced out, missing the target.

Randolph stuck O'Neal tightly, denying him a chance to grab offensive rebounds.

Sun Yi quickly rushed back to the penalty area to grab the backcourt rebound, and then rushed towards the frontcourt to launch a defensive counterattack.

"Damn! I hate run and gun!"

When O'Neal saw this, he cursed secretly in his mind and quickly turned back to defend himself.

On the other side, Sun Yi quickly dribbled the ball across the half court. Seeing his teammates running out of opportunities, he immediately passed the ball over.

Outside the three-point line on the left, Curry received the pass, raised his hand and faked a shot. After shaking off the defender, he took a step to the right and took off to shoot.

A swish sound!

Hollow into the net!

3:0!

"Good shot! The Warriors counterattacked very quickly and hit a three-pointer!" Yu Jia explained.

"The Warriors played very smartly. They knew that positional offense would not gain any advantage, so they played fast and made O'Neal exhausted and unable to form an effective defense. The effect was very good." Director Zhang analyzed with a smile.

Back on the court, the Cavaliers launched an attack.

O'Neal quickly ran to the right and got in the low post to get the ball.

The Fathead Shark was obviously a little unhappy. He believed that the failure to defend against the previous attack was mainly due to himself, and wanted to make up for his mistake by returning the ball.

After James saw O'Nealka in good position, he immediately passed the ball.

O'Neal received the pass, sat back with his butt raised, and pushed his back two or three times before reaching the edge of the penalty area.

Randolph was very active in defending, but he really couldn't resist.

O'Neal took a breath, suddenly used his strength to squeeze Randolph away, turned around and came to the penalty area, stood up from the ground, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

3:2!

The audience burst into applause, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.

After scoring, O'Neal ran to the baseline and made a muscular celebration in front of the camera.

At the same time, the Warriors quickly sent baseline kicks.

When the fat-headed shark saw this situation, his mood suddenly lost its beauty. With a drooped face, he turned around and ran back quickly.

The Warriors didn't formulate a special defensive strategy for O'Neal at all. As long as they kept playing fast, the old shark would be exhausted.

In this attack, the Warriors still only took seven or eight seconds to end the attack.

Ellis stepped outside the three-point line, received the pass, and immediately took off to shoot.

It's a pity that the basketball rolled around inside the basket and then rolled out.

The Cavaliers protected the defensive rebounds and James dribbled forward.

At the same time, O'Neal, who ran near the free throw line, was dumbfounded.

Co-authored, his trip was in vain!

Seeing the Cavaliers attacking, O'Neal twisted his huge body, turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.

James has a very high emotional intelligence and did not launch the offense quickly. He waited for O'Neal to get inside before launching the offense.

The fat-headed shark did not actively seek the position this time. He wanted to take a lazy break and recover some physical strength.

Running back and forth is absolutely excruciating!

James, who was controlling the ball at the top of the arc, saw that his teammates had no chance to escape, so he had no choice but to end the attack himself.

He quickly called a pick-and-roll, and with the help of Anthony Parker's screen, he got rid of Maggette's defense and mismatched Curry.

Seeing Curry's weak body, the little emperor showed no mercy and continued to break through to the basket.

Seeing this situation, the elementary school students rushed forward to block the situation, but were mercilessly squeezed away by James.

"It really hurts. It's more powerful than Sun's impact."

Curry rubbed his chest, muttered something under his breath, then turned around and ran toward the basket.

In the penalty area, James had a physical confrontation with Randolph, who stepped forward to help defend, and then scored the ball forcefully.

3:4!

Randolph picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly retreated to the baseline, and sent the ball out.
