Five days are not short, but not long.

In a blink of an eye, June 1st, and the curtain of the NBA Finals officially kicked off in New Orleans.

Although they had been resting for five days, the fans remained enthusiastic and even rose above unprecedented heights.

Good food is not afraid of being late, and no one wants to miss this kind of peak duel.

Unlike the regular season, although the Cavaliers' training was still open to the public this time, they refused all interviews after the training.

It can be seen that both the Cavaliers management and Lou are a little afraid of Whiteside's brainless comments before the game.

This is also a good thing.

Not everyone likes the pre-match verbal battle. After experiencing the exciting G6 of the Western Conference Finals, fans are also looking forward to seeing a more exciting showdown in the finals.

In the locker room before the game, the players of both teams were making final preparations for the game.

"Dang, your shoulders are okay?"

Davis asked Tang Tian that Tang Tian was doing pre-match ice compress with the help of the team doctor.

Tang Tian was pulled hard by Green, but fortunately, the previous MRI test was negative, there was no structural damage, but only a slight strain on the ligament.

But even so, for ordinary people, this is an injury that needs to be on standby for at least two to three weeks.

Now Tang Tiancai has only been resting for five days.

If it weren't for the experience of playing with injuries in the middle of the season and getting permission from the team doctor, the Pelicans wouldn't have allowed him to play in the finals.

"I'm fine, the team doctor has checked it."

Tang Tian said with a smile that he is now glad that he exchanged for the stadium fighter. The pain is much lighter than when he was just injured.

Davis nodded, and Tang Tian said so, he felt much more at ease.

Not long after, Stevens and Gentry came over to highlight some details that need to be paid attention to during the game.

After finishing his speech, he specially called Davis out of the locker room.

"Tang was injured by his right shoulder. I believe in his ability to adjust, but this will definitely affect him. I need you to take more responsibility."

Stevens said earnestly.

"I will."

Davis said firmly.

Last year, Tang Tian won the seventh title of God and finally brought him to his first career championship.

Now that Tang Tian is injured, he should indeed stand up.

That night, the New Orleans Arena was full of attendance, and there were also crowds of people outside the Arena.

This grand scene is even more exaggerated than last year.

The better the record of the football market, the bigger it will support.

Not only New Orleans, it has spread to many surrounding cities.

Moreover, the Western Conference Finals G6 was heart-wrenching, but they could only watch it through the LED broadcast screen, so they definitely didn’t feel good about it on the spot.

Not only local fans in New Orleans, but also fans from all over the world are looking forward to the finals.

The moment g1 started, the global ratings were close to the peak of last year.

Some of this is stimulated by the G6 Western Conference Finals, but it still shows that fans still like high-confrontation and highly viewable games in front of them.

After the pre-match opening ceremony, the starts of the two teams were released one after another.

Jokic still had a high-level free-to-play card, Dior replaced him as center, and the rest of the position remained unchanged, and it was still Holiday, Tang Tian, ​​Ariza and Davis.

The Cavaliers also have standard starting five Tigers, Irving, Champett, James, Love, and Whiteside.

The tactical arrangements for the last three minutes before the game were completed, and both sides appeared one after another.

A slitting shot of James and Tang Tian was specially given on the scene.

James still did not throw magnesium powder before he came on the court, and it can be seen that he was serious about what he said at the time.

He would never do that again until he won the championship for Cleveland.

Tang Tian's expression looked no different from usual, except that he wore a shoulder pad on his right shoulder.

Because the Pelicans have been hiding injuries, no one knows what happened.

When he was on the court, he greeted his wife and children on the sidelines. Today is Children's Day, but he can only spend it with his sons on the court.

Amid the cheers of fans, Whiteside turned the ball back to the Cavaliers' half from Dior's head, officially opening the curtain of the 2016-2017 season finals.

The Cavaliers hang the ball to Whiteside as soon as they come up.

If Jokic doesn't play, the Pelicans' inside line will suddenly appear empty.

Old Dior; Boban's shortcomings are too obvious and he has not been in the rotation before; Harrell performed outstandingly last season, but he played few times this season.

By this calculation, Whiteside can be overturned in the inside.

However, Whiteside failed to gain a advantage in two consecutive offensive attempts. Although Dior was old, his tonnage and strength were sufficient.

One-on-one, Whiteside may not necessarily gain any advantage after losing weight.

On the contrary, the continuous strong attacks did not give the Pelicans the opportunity to play defensive counterattack. Holiday and Davis each scored a goal. The Pelicans started with 4-0 and gave the Cavaliers a warning.

Even if Jokic can't play, the Pelicans are still the same Pelicans.

The fans were very excited at the scene. The Pelicans just reversed the Warriors with g6. The fans were looking forward to them working hard to solve the defending Cavaliers champion in four games.

"This time, Michael is right, the overall strength of this team is much stronger than expected."

Brynn also expressed his feelings in the commentary seat.

The Pelicans have a 15-man roster and 12-man roster. There are so many people who can play.

Everyone felt that the Pelicans had to make a big splash, but the Cavaliers quickly proved their Eastern Conference champions.

The first person to stand up was the little emperor James.

Whiteside couldn't beat Dior, he played in a misaligned manner and made consecutive games.

After all, Dior is old and can rely on tonnage and strength at a low position, but the speed disadvantage is too great when he goes out of the three-second zone.

Moreover, Love's regular season was not good, and his condition gradually recovered in the playoffs. Davis assisted with several defenses, and Love's shots were all shot.

Of course, the bigger problem is that Tang Tian feels very uncomfortable when he was in G6.

He missed Love's sudden stop jump shot several times.

Just like during the regular season, his injury still had a great impact on his feel.

And this is exactly what limits his performance the most.

For the Cavaliers, Tang Tian feels bad, just be careful of his breakthrough and passing.

Although the Pelicans relied on strengthening their defense and stalemate with the Cavaliers until the last quarter, James was in a hot state and scored 40+ triple-double in the game.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Pelicans 103-92 away and won their first victory in the finals.

James scored a triple-double with 41 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, Love contributed 20 points, and Irving also scored 19 points and 5 assists.

The Pelicans scored in double digits, and their overall performance was pretty good.

Davis contributed the team's highest 26 points and 11 rebounds, and Williams also scored 15 points on the bench.

However, Tang Tian felt average, with only 7 of 17 shots, contributing 21 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 steals.

This data is already very good for ordinary players, but as the first in the league, it is obviously a failure.

"Jokic's absence has a great impact on the Pelicans. Pachulia ruined the Spurs and also destroyed the Pelicans..."

"I think the bigger problem is Tang's condition. He feels as sluggish as g6. This is really a big problem!"

"I wonder if you noticed the shoulder pads on Tang's right shoulder? Is he injured?"

"There is no news before the game, probably not, but it is possible, otherwise there will be no reason to wear shoulder pads."

"Jokic can't play at all. If Don still plays with injuries, the Pelicans...will really work for the Cavaliers this year."

"The Warriors are really, they are still in a state of dissipation after being eliminated. Will the two main players be abandoned in one round of the series?"

"Green: LeBron, I've helped you clear the obstacles. When will the money be paid?"

"Hey, I thought the finals were as exciting as g6, but now it seems that it ended before it even started!"

"There is no way, injuries are also part of the game. If you want to blame, blame Tatm! This year, several stars have been injured!"

"Then... Cavaliers champion? LeBron is going to bring his first championship to the city of Cleveland like Don last year!"

"Cavals' championship! My emperor scored 40+ triple-double in the first game. No one can beat this state, so he must win the championship!"

"Have anyone noticed the show before TNT? Michael once again looked at the Pelicans, but the result..."

"Jordan: Sorry, last time I released less poison, this time I added more information..."

"I told you to tell me every day, and see if I'm going to make you look like I'm going to make you →_→"
