CJ, I'm talking about CJ Miles.

Despite two consecutive defeats, Myers performed really well in the series, averaging 11 points per game, the most points scored outside the two of them.

At this time, the probability that Miles and Scott would agree to their proposal was extremely high.

And don't underestimate this suggestion. What Harden needs most to play is space.

His performance is completely different whether there is space or not.

Historically, whether he played well or poorly in the playoffs has little to do with whether or not he went to nightclubs as reported by the media.

It was after D'Antoni arrived that he started playing Magic Ball and paired with a group of shooters, and his performance improved.

He himself knew this very well.

"This is our home court, let's protect it together."

After Harden finished speaking, he reached out to Irving.

Irving glanced at Harden, stretched out his hand, and touched it.

His original low mood also turned into new expectations.

…

Two days later, the first-round Game 3 between the Nets and Cavaliers kicked off at Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cavaliers.

Despite the criticism, on game day, Quicken Loans Arena was still full, and there were still a large number of fans holding Harden's KT board high.

Harden is now just like their alma mater when they were students, scolding and hoping it gets better.

Seeing the support of the fans at the scene, Harden's emotions also fluctuated a bit.

He is a person who values ​​relationships, especially with fans.

At the end of the warm-up, Harden took the initiative to walk up to Irving, fist-bumped with him again, and then nodded to each other.

The scene entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams appeared one after another.

The Nets are still the same as the previous two games, Deron, Joe Johnson, Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian, Chandler.

The Cavaliers have adjusted, Irving, Harden, CJ Miles, Thompson, Zeller.

"The Cavaliers made a very smart adjustment."

When the list came out, Steve Kerr in the commentary box immediately gave his evaluation.

"Byron is the best coach after all."

Mike Breen on the side nodded in agreement.

"beep!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, Chandler moved the ball back to the Nets half, and the away team attacked first.

Like the previous two games, Deron was on the offensive in the opening game.

And he also showed his usual excellent form, hitting a trademark floater in the opening game.

Deron is definitely at his peak in this year's playoffs.

During the Cavaliers' offense, Irving advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Harden.

Harden and Thompson broke through the basket after a pick-and-roll. Seeing that Lin Ying was not flanking, the European step avoided Yi Jianlian and scored.

His current style of play is still like Ginobili's template during the draft. The European step and step-back three-pointers are his main offensive methods.

Deron's sudden layup in the frontcourt missed.

Thompson showed his misplaced defensive ability with this ball, and he was really tough. He was able to maintain his defensive position even after being hit by Deron's body bomb.

The Cavaliers were playing a fast break with the Nets. Harden caught the ball and quickly ran into the frontcourt. Seeing the chasing Johnson, he made a change of pace and easily picked up the basket and scored.

Harden scored 4 points in the opening game!

Johnson's shot was interfered with and missed, and the Cavaliers defended another wave of Nets attacks.

This time the Nets retreated quickly and did not allow the Cavaliers to directly enter the fast break.

Both sides took up positions in the frontcourt.

Thompson continued to set up a pick-and-roll for Harden. Harden stepped outside this time and then retreated directly to the three-point line to take a shot, which was very decisive.

The consecutive scoring in the opening game gave him confidence.

Yi Jianlian responded quickly enough, but he still couldn't catch up.

"Whoa!"

There was a crisp sound, and Harden's three-point shot was also there!

Harden scored 7 points in a row in the opening game!

"James Harden"

Amid the extended tones of the live DJ, Quicken Loans Arena was filled with cheers from fans.

What? Scolding Harden?

That was all yesterday, and they are now die-hard Harden fans!

As long as Harden plays well, they will find a fat-assed girl!

Even, they can be!

Some female fans raised their buttocks to the court on the spot, patted him with their hands, and then blew a kiss to Harden.

Harden couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

This is competitive sports, playing well can solve all problems.

"Defend! Defend!"

Harden's performance also aroused the emotions of the fans at the scene, and the scene soon burst into uniform cheers.

Amid the shouts, the Cavaliers' defensive enthusiasm on the field also increased rapidly.

Deron broke through and scored, and Chandler's dunk after receiving the ball was also blocked by Thompson.

As the only man in history that even Kardashian is reluctant to give up, he is tough.

The Cavaliers once again played a fast break, and Harden flew up and started another fast break.

This time Lin Ying returned to defense and blocked Harden's layup angle.

But Harden turned around in the air and handed the ball to Irving, who followed up. Irving quickly shot and scored before Johnson blocked the shot.

The cheers at Quicken Loans Arena were completely unstoppable, and the huge sound seemed to knock off the ceiling.

2 to 9!

The Cavaliers swept away the downturn in the first two games and got off to a perfect start!

This is obviously not good news for the Nets.

Miles, whom they have been paying attention to, doesn't have much chance, but Harden is in surprisingly good condition.

Sloan stood up from the bench at this time, and then made tactical gesture adjustments on the court.

And he didn't go back to the bench and sit down right away.

Obviously, the situation at hand is not what Sloan wants to see.

He didn't expect that in the third quarter, the Nets would still need to chase points.

Deron advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, extended his hand to signal, gave the ball to Lin Ying, and then took Irving away from the back.

It was at this time that fans noticed that the Nets' offensive formation was very wide.

This is Lin Ying’s solo show!

Harden was decisive enough and attacked directly.

Lin Ying passed the ball out, and Johnson took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"Dang!"

Still nothing!

Cleveland's basket has put a lid on the Nets today!

Sloan turned around and called Kirilenko up, and Kirilenko came on to replace Yi Jianlian.

Harden also played a pick-and-roll with Thompson, but after Kirilenko replaced Harden, he couldn't find a chance to make a shot.

But at this moment, Myers took advantage of Zeller's pick-and-roll and had an opportunity on the weak side.

Harden showed his passing vision and got the ball immediately.

Myers caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

However, the moment he took action, Lin Ying's interference also arrived.

He kept staring at this outside shooter.
