The third game of the Cleveland Cavaliers' Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat officially kicked off at 8 p.m. local time in Cleveland.

When the players from both sides walked onto the basketball court, the referee who was about to enforce the law tonight's game also walked onto the court with the ball.

Dwight Howard and "Birdman" Anderson had already walked into the middle circle at this time, and each was ready to jump the ball.

The referee walked onto the basketball court with the ball, and after indicating to the players on both sides, he immediately threw the ball into the basket with a whistle!

The moment the ball was thrown onto the layup, Dwight Howard and Anderson, who were standing in the middle circle, jumped up at the same time!

Although Anderson is very different from Dwight Howard in terms of height and bounce, even if he tries his best, it will be difficult for him to jump and beat Dwight Howard.

But at this moment, he still jumped up and tried to fight for the ball thrown by the referee.

This is why Anderson can win the start in this round of the series. He desperately tried his best. This made him the best player among the Miami Heat to fight Dwight Howard.

So the team's head coach Pat Riley chose to let Anderson start without hesitation.

In the first two games, Anderson's performance was also very good. He did a good job of limiting Dwight Howard on the defensive end. Dwight Howard scored 19 points and 17 points in the two games.

Dwight Howard's performance in these two games is not very good, at least compared to his average score in the playoffs this season. It is definitely not a good one.

So it can be said that at least in the previous two games, Anderson did a good job of limiting Dwight Howard.

This also won him more praise, but Anderson himself knew it. This was just the beginning. Although the Miami Heat won the game in the previous two games, Anderson knew very well how hard he worked.

The victory of these two games is far from enough to make him feel excited. He is of course happy that the efforts he has made in the past two games have paid off.

And now, for Anderson, he hopes that his efforts will continue to be rewarded fully on the basketball court, for example, the victory of this game.

The Miami Heat need to win this game, so in this game, Anderson will still try his best to try to defend Dwight Howard's attack in the inside.

However, no matter how hard Anderson tried to compete with Dwight Howard for the opening jump ball, he still couldn't jump to Dwight Howard, who was higher and better than him.

Because the gap between the two people in terms of physical conditions is still very huge. Dwight Howard still easily helped the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, get the opening ball rights in this game tonight.

The Cleveland Cavaliers still got the ball right at the beginning, just like in the past two games. Kyrie Irving controlled the ball, and both sides began to move towards the Miami Heat's half. The atmosphere in the entire Speed ​​Loan Center was very boiling at this time!

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers had never won the first two games in this round of the Eastern Conference Finals, even so, at this time, Cleveland fans still cheered loudly for the Cleveland Cavaliers players on the basketball court.

Because Cleveland fans all hope that the Cleveland Cavaliers can sweep the previous haze in this game, re-play the state they should have, and win the game in this game.

This is the result that everyone hopes to see, so at this time, when the Cleveland Cavaliers got the opening ball rights, the fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally hope that the team can seize such an opportunity to get the ball rights at the beginning, and in this game tonight, they will sweep away the previous haze and quickly establish a leading advantage in the game!

Cleveland fans don’t want to see the Cleveland Cavaliers at a disadvantage in the game anymore. They watched the previous two games on TV. This time they watched the game on the spot, so naturally they hope that the team can also sweep away the previous haze after returning to home court.

This is the most important thing. So at this time, when the Cleveland Cavaliers got the ball, everyone was eagerly looking forward to it. At this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers also hoped that they could win the game themselves.

So at this time, the advantage at the beginning will become particularly important. The Cleveland Cavaliers hope to win the game, so naturally they also need to play an advantage at this time.

So when Kyrie Irving carefully dribbled the ball through the half, he did not rush to attack, but waited for Dwight Howard, who was in the inside, to put the ball in.

Although Dwight Howard did not perform well in the previous two games, the Cleveland Cavaliers were still sticking to the inside strategy in this game tonight.

After all, this is a strong point for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the weakest point for the Miami Heat. Although Dwight Howard did not perform well in the previous two games, nor did he even get his average performance in the playoffs this season.

But the Cleveland Cavaliers know that if they want to defeat their opponents, they still have to stick to the strategy of playing in the inside. Otherwise, the Miamis will not shrink at all, which will make the Cleveland Cavaliers' outside difficult line.

After all, whether it is LeBron, James, Dwayne and Wade, they are both good players in the outside defense. So if they are not attracted to the inside, then there will still be a lot of pressure on the outside of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

At this time, when Kyrie Irving hung the ball into the inside, the Miamis did not choose to shrink the inside to double-team Dwight Howard. This is because Dwight Howard did not play as due in the past two games, which made the Miamis so unscrupulous.

Byron Scott insisted on playing inside at this time, not only because the Miami Heat's weak inside strength was another reason. It was that Byron Scott believed in Dwight Howard's strength.

He believes that his players are capable of playing as good as he deserves. Although Dwight Howard's performance in the previous two games was not good, there are reasons why Anderson's defense, but more reasons are of course because Dwight Howard himself is not in such a state.

As long as Dwight Howard can produce the average performance in the previous rounds, the Cleveland Cavaliers will still have a huge advantage in this round of the series!

That's why Byron Scott seems so persistent at this time!

Dwight Howard, who performed very poorly in the previous two games, also gave a good answer at the beginning of this game tonight.

Faced with Anderson's single defense, Dwight Howard showed no mercy. After holding the ball, he leaned directly on the opponent and relied on his excellent strength. He directly crushed into the inside.

The Miami Heat still did not have any double-teams at this time. Obviously, these were the previous two games, which made the Miami people make such a choice. In such a situation, Dwight Howard turned around directly, and then he threw the ball towards the basket!

In the first two games, even with such an easy shot, Dwight Howard was not very sure. In this game tonight, at least at the beginning of the game, Dwight Howard threw the ball into the basket!

2:0, the game started less than 20 seconds later, Dwight Howard scored a goal from the inside, which also gave the Cleveland Cavaliers the lead in this game tonight.

Such a goal made the entire Quick Loan Center boil at this time, and Cleveland fans were of course very satisfied with such a result.

The goal was scored at the beginning, causing Miami Heat coach Pat Riley to frown. Of course, it was not just because the Cleveland Cavaliers scored at the opening. It was because the person who scored was Dwight Howard.

Dwight Howard's performance in the first two games cannot be described as good, which is why the Miami Heat were able to win games one after another with a disadvantage in the lineup.

Of course, it is not that the reason why the Miami Heat were able to win those two games was entirely due to Dwight Howard's poor performance.

Of course, there are also reasons why the Miami Heat performed well. However, when Pat Riley saw Dwight Howard performing like this, he still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Although it was just the first goal at the beginning of the game, Pat Riley, as the team's head coach, has many things to think about when standing on the basketball court.

After all, he must be responsible for the team, so naturally he needs to calculate all possibilities!

Otherwise, if Dwight Howard really explodes, then he will only feel even more anxious at that time!

So at this time, when Pat Riley saw Dwight Howard score the first goal, he frowned. But it was also because it was just the first goal Dwight Howard scored in this game, so Pat Riley did not make any adjustments to the team.

If you make adjustments just because of a ball, it would seem a bit too much. So Pat Riley, of course, still needs to observe Dwight Howard's performance in this game tonight.

There must be more references before Pat Riley can make a judgment. Otherwise, his decision will appear to be too hasty, and this game tonight is crucial for the Miami Heat.

It is also an excellent opportunity for the Miami Heat. Of course, even Pat Riley did not dare to easily draw conclusions and make changes in the face of such an opportunity.

After all, the Miami Heat have relied on such a lineup and strategy, but in the past two games, they have easily won the game.

Under such circumstances, the Miami people are naturally even more afraid to take it lightly. They need to be more cautious, and the Cleveland Cavaliers also need to appear more cautious and cautious in this game.

Because they also know that if they lose this game tonight, they will likely be thrown into a state of doom.

So when they got such an advantage after the game started, they naturally hoped to maintain such an advantage. After Dwight Howard scored the first goal at the beginning of the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately completed their retreat.

They quickly retreated into the half and then were ready to wait for the arrival of the Miami Heat.

Of course, they hope to defeat the Miami Heat in this game tonight. If they want to win this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely be more eager to win than the Miami people.

Because compared to Miami people, they have no way out!

0:3 basically means the end of the series, so the Cleveland Cavaliers won’t want to see such a thing happen. Of course, they have to play their strongest offense and best defense in this game tonight!

Otherwise, the Miami people are still extremely likely to win the game in this game tonight.
Chapter completed!
