The game on January 10 is very important to the Cleveland Cavaliers, so they naturally won't take it lightly.

Facing the Portland Trail Blazers who came from afar, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to welcome such an opponent in their best condition.

They don't want to continue to win a losing streak, so they have to defeat the Portlanders in such a home game.

However, this will certainly not become a simple task, because the sudden rise of the Portland Trail Blazers this season has indeed surprised countless people.

And now they are continuing this victory. Although their record is not as good as the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Portlanders' 25-6-loss record has climbed to second place in the Western Conference, almost at the same time as the Oklahoma City Thunder.

So although the Cleveland Cavaliers have currently ranked first in the league with 27 wins and 4 losses, they still have to be careful when facing such an opponent.

Otherwise, the Portlanders would definitely give some colors to all opponents who despise them.

What's more, the Cleveland Cavaliers are now in such a dilemma, so naturally, they need to concentrate on the next game.

They certainly would not hope to continue to face failure, so at this time they certainly would not underestimate their opponents, and they were such an excellent opponent.

However, facing such a dual-core team, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally will not be afraid from the books.

After all, whether it is Wu Dawei or Dwight Howard, they are the top superstars in this league; and although Aldridge has been in the league for 7 or 8 years, he has never been on the ranks of first-tier stars. Perhaps this is the first time this season that he has become the focus of heated discussion.

As for Lillard, although this sophomore student has a mature mentality that is different from his peers, he is just a sophomore after all.

Not to mention whether he can compete with Wu Dawei, even Kyrie Irving cannot win the opponent safely.

So before this game begins, the Cleveland Cavaliers are of course very confident. They believe that the process may be a bit difficult, but the winner of the game will definitely be the Cleveland Cavaliers who play at home.

At least the Clevelanders view the game this way, but not everyone has the same view as them.

Although this game actually had nothing to do with the Miami people, on the night of the game, Miami media flocked to the Quick Loan Center.

Obviously, the Miami Heat's recent offensive topped the league and also made Miami media show off.

These Miami media naturally came to see the Cleveland Cavaliers lose, and that's what they expected.

I hope to see the scene of the Cleveland Cavaliers being defeated. Then, they can laugh and humiliate Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers after the game.

Before the game started that night, Cleveland fans were already crowding the stadium.

The stadium was full, and most of the fans who came to cheer for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Of course, local fans in Cleveland hope that the Cleveland Cavaliers can get rid of the current dilemma as soon as possible.

After all, it was already very frustrating that their unexpected loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. So if they lose this game again, it means that the Cleveland Cavaliers will usher in a wave of losing streak...

This is completely opposite to what the Clevelanders are thinking!

So at this time, for the entire Cleveland Cavaliers, they were under tremendous pressure.

They know they have to play dominant performance in this game, otherwise it will be difficult to solve this team that currently ranks second in the Western Conference.

After all, no matter how unexpected the opponent's record this season, their achievement of second place in the Western Conference is also real.

It was achieved in the Western Conference where the strong are everywhere, and this alone is not something that the Cleveland Cavaliers can't underestimate.

The game will start at 7 pm. Players from both sides will come to the stadium in advance to warm up and train, and then after the brief opening ceremony, the game will soon begin.

The Trail Blazers' lineup is inside Robin Lopez, Lamarcus Aldridge, small forward Batum, and the two defenders are Matthews and Lillard; while the Cleveland Cavaliers' starting lineup has not made any changes.

After all, such a lineup has helped the Cleveland Cavaliers win two championships, so of course there is no need for them to make huge changes immediately because of a temporary defeat.

Because they believe they can recover. After all, that's more like an accident. The Cleveland Cavaliers still have sufficient confidence in their strength.

The Cleveland fans who came to the Quick Loan Center on January 10 also believed that their team could do this.

The competition kicked off with people's expectations. Robin Lopez and Dwight Howard stood in the middle circle at this time.

The two of them stood face to face in order to help their team and win the first ball rights to the opening game.

Although the person standing in front of Robin Lopez at this time was Dwight Howard, the former did not feel afraid at all.

After coming to the Portland Trail Blazers this season, Robin Lopez welcomed his heart, a true heart!

He was reborn perfectly and came to a team that was perfectly in line with himself. Robin Lopez's explosive performance this season is also one of the important reasons for the rise of the Portland Trail Blazers this season.

He acted as an important part of the meat shield in the interior, and also relieved the pressure faced by Lamarcus Aldridge in the interior, completely releasing the latter's potential and state on the offensive end.

This is one of the reasons why he has received great praise from the beginning of the new season, so at this time, Robin Lopez was not afraid of Dwight Howard standing in front of him.

But no matter whether Robin Lopez is not afraid of Dwight Howard at all, at this moment, when the referee threw the ball into the sky, Robin Lopez jumped up with all his might, but still could not help the Portland Trail Blazers who were playing away. He won the ball into his hands.

Dwight Howard easily landed the ball back to the half of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kyrie Irving got the ball, and the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately launched their first wave of offensive in the game.

Kyrie Irving dribble quickly passed the half, and Lillard quickly matched Irving at this time, and the two began to get entangled at the three-point line.

However, Kyrie Irving usually rarely chooses individual attacks in the first offense at the opening. After all, Wu Dawei is the core of this team's undisputed team.

So at this moment, when he found that he didn't have a good chance, Kyrie Irving chose to hand the ball over Wu Dawei next to him.

In fact, Wu Dawei had been holding it in for a long time at this time. After all, the series of losses before this really made him feel embarrassed.

Especially in recent times, the media have commented on the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers, which made Wu Dawei feel even more uncomfortable.

He naturally hopes to perform the best in this game, after all, he doesn't want to continue to be questioned by people.

Wu Dawei hopes that he and his team can have a good memory this season, so at this time, he is increasingly reluctant to see such a thing happen.

So at this time, when Wu Dawei got the ball and faced Batum's defense, Wu Dawei was not worthy of the latter. After all, no matter from which aspect, Batum is far inferior to Wu Dawei.

The two of them are not stars of the same level at all, so when Wu Dawei held the ball, it was not just Batum who was watching Wu Dawei. In fact, other players of the Portland Trail Blazers were also staring at Wu Dawei in a hurry at this time.

Now everyone knows the person who is the most threatening to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Moreover, even if Wu Dawei's performance this season is astonishing as the previous period of hind legs, his current performance is still very amazing.

At least Batum is definitely not comparable!

So when Wu Dawei got the ball, he immediately launched an attack on the opponent's half.

Without any hesitation, Wu Dawei was not afraid of his defense at all when facing Batum's octopus-like defense.

He launched an attack directly, without even calling in the pick-and-roll.

Because Wu Dawei didn't think this was a problem, he believed that he could solve the other party, so at this time he directly tried to attack the other party's defense line.

Batum's thin body could not resist Wu Dawei's rush, after all, the gap between the two people in tonnage is very huge.

The moment Wu Dawei rushed up, he could directly knock out his opponent by relying on his tonnage. Then, he used this to tear open some of the Portlanders' flaws in defense.

With such a flaw, Wu Dawei quickly found a gap to shoot. This is very important. Before the opponent's defense is made, he threw the ball into the basket, and used a way to make him feel very comfortable.

This left the Portlanders with no choice. Wu Dawei defeated his opponent Batum, who was responsible for defending him, one-on-one, and then the ball drilled into the basket!

The Cleveland Cavaliers scored a goal at the opening, which meant they had a leading edge, which made it a good start for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

2:0, the Cleveland fans in the Quick Loan Center also gave great cheers for Wu Dawei's goal at this time.

Needless to say, this was a great offense. The Cleveland Cavaliers scored at the opening game, which would certainly disappoint some of the Miami media who came to the Speed ​​Loan Center tonight.

Although it was just the first shot at the opening, Wu Dawei threw the ball into the basket after all, and it seemed so light, so naturally, those who don't like the Cleveland Cavaliers feel a sense of crisis.

After all, if Wu Dawei is in shape, that would be a great thing!

Countless people still understand this very well. Even if they don’t admit it, they still know it very well in their hearts.

So at this time, of course, they hope that Wu Dawei's performance would be just a flash in the pan. And at the same time, they hope to see the Portland Trail Blazers be able to retaliate against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the next attack!

When the ball rights were changed, the Portlanders did not disappoint these Miami media. After Lamarcus Aldridge, who was in a very popular state this season, returned to the offensive end, he perfectly demonstrated his personal strength!

He used a turnover jump shot to make Valazzo, who was responsible for defending him, also powerless, after all, he was too high.

With such a height, it will naturally leave Valazzo completely helpless.

The score became 2:2. Although the Portland Trail Blazers conceded the goal first, they were not at a disadvantage. Aldridge well stabilized the situation on the basketball court.

Next, the ball was naturally back to the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although they scored a goal at the beginning, they obviously would not be willing to play back and forth with the Portlanders like this.

After all, their hope is to defeat their opponents in this game. And it is best to win a hearty game.

So the Cleveland Cavaliers played a bit open and close at the beginning of this game. When Kyrie Irving got the ball again, he improved the pace of the game, ran through the half-time frantically and quickly, and tried to attack the inside.

As a result, a little problem suddenly appeared in the Portlanders' inside line, and they were shocked and seemed a little panicked. So, the flaws followed.

Although the Portland Trail Blazers have risen this season, they are not a team with excellent defensive strength. They are not well prepared for the Cleveland Cavaliers' style of playing.

After all, no matter what, this is just the regular season, so the preparations of each team in the regular season are definitely far less important than those of important games in the playoffs.

Kyrie Irving's role was very obvious when disrupting the battle, after all, his speed was extremely fast. So when he saw a flaw, Kyrie Irving rushed in quickly and successfully helped the Cleveland Cavaliers score two more points.

The Cleveland Cavaliers took the lead again, 4:2, and they regained the lead, while the Portland Trail Blazers naturally fell into a passive position again.

They were behind again, but fortunately, Lamarcus Aldridge's performance during the start of the game was also extremely amazing.

He also used the turn-around jump shot again, leaving Valacho helpless. At the same time, he threw the ball into the basket.

In this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers were tied again before they were even ahead of the score, 4:4.

However, when the ball rights returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers' side, Kyrie Irving passed the ball to Wu Dawei after halftime.

At this time, Wu Dawei did not plan to fight in position. When he received the ball, he did not hesitate at all. He also launched an attack like Kyrie and Irving before!

Then he attracted countless defenses, but Wu Dawei still chose to throw the ball into the sky!

But the ball did not go to the basket at this time, but the entire Speed ​​Loan Center still heard a violent scream!

The ball was caught in the air by a pair of big hands, it was Dwight Howard!

He grabbed the ball in the air, then ignored all defense, and then dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!

With a bang, the score was rewritten again!

6:4, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who play at home, are still on the leading side.

Although he was still only 2 points ahead, it was obviously not so good for the Portland Trail Blazers, because the three superstars in the Cleveland Cavaliers all scored points at this time.

They all got the first point in the opening game, and the three of them looked very good, so this is naturally very bad for the Cleveland Cavaliers' opponent Portland Trail Blazers.

This made many people understand that it is not only the Portland Trail Blazers, but also the Miami media on the sidelines.

They came to Cleveland's Quick Loan Center to see the Cleveland Cavaliers fail again, but obviously judging from the opening performance, the Cleveland Cavaliers' performance is not only better than the Portland Trail Blazers, but at least it is better.

They have always been the advantage, and the Portland Trail Blazers seem a little tired of dealing with it, if it weren't for Lamarcus Aldridge's two-pointer in the opening game...

The Portland Trail Blazers don't just need Lamarcus Aldridge's outstanding performance at this time, and as their core outside, Lillard must show his strength at this time.

Whether on the offensive or defensive end, the Cleveland Cavaliers are likely to slowly expand from this little advantage at the beginning until they cannibalize the Portlanders' fighting spirit.
