The whole world is paying attention to this unprecedented battle, and everyone is looking forward to the match between the two sides.

The Golden State Warriors and the Portland Trail Blazers, before last season, these two teams didn't have that many intersections and grievances.

Although the Warriors of the Cannon Beast Era are also one of the Blazers' formidable enemies, the two sides have not yet reached the level of rivals.

But now, because of last season's tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals and because of all the regular season events this season, the relationship between the two teams has been turned upside down.

Known in history as dog brain diplomacy, a massacre caused by a piece of dog brain.

At this time, the Warriors and Trail Blazers are definitely the most jealous rivals in the West.

The first game of the series will start in the Rose Garden. Before the start of today's game, the Trail Blazers also held a very grand MVP award ceremony.

With the cheers of all the fans in the audience, Wayne took the regular season MVP trophy from Stern.

Stern smiled so sweetly, and the old Jewish man was very happy that Wayne won the MVP.

This is Wayne's fifth regular season MVP in his career, tying the records of Jordan and Bill Russell. It is part of the god-making plan.

In history, he is second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who won the MVP six times.

Although Wayne is not yet the first in history in the total number of MVPs, five MVPs is already very impressive.

Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only retired in 1989, he won all his MVP awards in the 1970s.

As a basketball player in the 21st century, Wayne has been able to win 5 MVPs. This number is very astonishing.

The announcement of the MVP results made yesterday's DPOY look more like a warm-up.

As long as Wayne comes back, it's all his!

The selection of MVP is actually not that complicated. As the core of the team with the best record, as long as your personal data is not too impressive and other people's data is not too explosive, then generally the MVP is stable.

What's more, Wayne's data compares favorably with others.

Watching Wayne lift the MVP trophy, Green became even more excited on the sidelines.

What better way to prove yourself than beating an MVP?

As for James, watching Wayne win the MVP trophy, he felt extremely heartbroken.

Although the finals have not started yet, even the finals matchups have not been determined yet.

But in this King vs. King war, James, who lost the MVP, is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

Wayne suddenly appeared with a "whoosh" sound and took away the trophy, leaving Lao Zhan standing there with a confused look on his face.

This wave of steals made Lao Zhan very helpless.

Think about it, it took a lot of effort to win the championship last season and become the number one player in the league.

As a result, the old leader came back before his butt was still hot and the first person had not had enough of his addiction: "Xiao Zhan, that's my position, please give way."

Who the hell can stand this?

This time Wayne stole the MVP, which shook James' dominance.

On this lively MVP night, according to the previous script, Wayne will definitely lead the team to turn the tide at home and get the series off to a good start.

But today, the Golden State Warriors ruined this otherwise beautiful night.

They stole the victory on MVP night!

"Livingston passes the ball to Green, Green gets the ball in the high post, what does he do? Give it to Thompson?

No, he gave the ball to Livingston who cut in. Livingston hit a layup due to McGee's interference. Good shot!

Today, the Warriors' role players made the difference!"

Livingston hit a layup, and at this time he had already scored his 20th point in the game!

As a substitute, with 20 points in a single game, Livingston had a huge impact on the victory today.

The Warriors did not have a particularly high-scoring player today, but they flourished across the board. Everyone's shots and scores were very average.

And this is exactly what Cole expects, to use as many role players as possible to wear down his opponents.

Then, when the opponent is exhausted, use the Death Five to boost the rhythm and completely end the game!

Livingston completed this task very well today. His precise mid-range shooting and excellent finishing at the basket made the Blazers' defense difficult to cope with.

After Livingston scored, the Warriors already led the Trail Blazers by 6 points.

Today, generally speaking, both sides played evenly matched. Moreover, both sides spent a lot of energy on the defensive end.

Butler's pressing made Thompson's scoring no longer so arbitrary today.

It took a lot of effort for him to get rid of Jie Bao during the ball catch.

And Jiebao knows Thompson very well. They played together last season and faced each other countless times on the training field.

Because he has been in the same dressing room for many years, he even knows exactly what color pants Tom likes to wear.

As soon as he came on stage today, Jiebao smiled and said in Thompson's ear: "It's pink today~"

Tom glanced at Jibao in surprise, you actually remember my preferences!

This is to remind Tom, I know you very well, and you can't even think of scoring an easy score on me.

Today, Jiebao did what he did to make Tom difficult. First of all, he did not let him catch the ball easily. Once Thompson received the ball, Jiebao immediately pressed forward.

You're lucky. If you can make three moves without making a mistake, I lose!

As long as there is a confrontation, Tom will definitely lose the dribble.

After all, Tom couldn't arm-wrestle a girl during his trip to China. Do you expect him to push Jie Bao evenly?

On Paul's side, after a serious injury, his ability to attack tough situations is not that strong. Coupled with Curry's desperate defense, it is also difficult for Paul to play.

After all, Pao'er, who suffered a serious injury, has never been the kind of player who can score points.

As for Green, he is originally a system player and has limited ability to score independently on the offensive end.

Therefore, today the Trail Blazers did not let any one Warrior perform particularly eye-catchingly.

But the Warriors' ball-playing ability is really strong. Everyone can pass and make plays, and their offense runs extremely smoothly.

With smooth passing, opportunities can always be generated.

Livingston, Barbosa, Iguodala, these role players all scored a lot today.

The Trail Blazers were also tightly guarded by the Warriors.

Paul roughly defended Curry alone, Thompson made Butler uncomfortable on the offensive end, and Green and Iguodala attacked Wayne, which contained the Blazers' offense to a certain extent.

He was also double-teamed, but Wayne's scoring difficulty was completely different from the previous round.

Iguodala and Green are both strong defenders, and their pace and confrontation are not inferior.

In addition, Green's defense is so fierce. If you cut out the shots of every Wayne Green matchup today, you will find that even when Wayne does not have the ball, Green will not give Wayne a second.

Breathing time.

He was fighting against Wayne all the time, fighting for position.

The two of them flanking Wayne are more threatening than Ibaka + Robertson.

As a result, both sides relied on defense to fight inextricably.

But because the Warriors' role players performed better, they gained a 6-point advantage.

After this ball, Curry originally planned to attack Paul, but was embarrassed by Paul's rough defense.

Pao'er occupies a spot in the defensive first team all year round, and it's not because he's lucky.

After being entangled by Paul, Curry chose to hand the ball to Tony, who was supporting in the high post. Tony was just a transfer point. The moment he caught the ball, he shot the ball again, targeting Wayne.

But just when Wayne was getting ready to catch the ball, Green, who had been guarding him, suddenly pushed Wayne away, stretched out his arm, and got the basketball!

This steal was very crucial. Green directly passed the long ball to Iguodala.

Iguodala jumped up and scored a one-handed dunk.

This break and pass gave the Warriors an 8-point lead at the last moment!

The moment the Warriors scored, Green grabbed his jersey and shouted at the fans on the sidelines: "Best Defensive Player, Best Defensive Player!"

He was venting his dissatisfaction for not getting the DPOY.

This key defense gave Green the confidence to vent.

Although Wayne and Curry teamed up to score 7 points at the last moment, it was too late and there was not enough time.

In the end, the Warriors relied on the strength of everyone, seven players scored in double figures, and the team's outstanding performance of shooting 49% to win the first game of the series 112 to 109!

Thompson scored 26 points, Green had 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Paul had 15 points and 9 assists.

Iguodala had 12 points, Livingston had 20 points, Barbosa had 11 points, and Ezeli had 10 points.

Who can withstand such offensive efficiency?

For the Trail Blazers, Wayne had 28 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, Curry had 26 points, and Butler had 17 points.

If the game time could be extended by even one round, the ending might be different.
