Smith explained: "The Cavaliers made lineup adjustments today, and Mike Brown mentioned Daniel Gibson to the starting lineup.
In my opinion, this choice is correct. The Cavaliers need such outside shooters to create space for LeBron. "

As Barkley and Smith analyze, the game begins.
Camby and Big Z jumped up, and Camby was the first to pass the ball to Li Yan.

Facing Drew Gooden who came to help defend, Li Yan flicked his wrist and the basketball passed through the gap and accurately found Kenyon Martin.
Li Yan attracted the attention of the Cavaliers inside and took away the defender around Kenyon Martin.
Kenyon Martin was in a small open space and was very comfortable. Martin got up and dunked for two points.

"LeBron and Cameron are facing each other, and he can't tell the difference..."
Cavaliers' offense.

"The Cavaliers have a completely new look in this game." Barkley explained: "They are holding on to the score. Daniel Gibson has already hit three three-pointers."
Smith analyzed: "The Cavaliers are very strong inside, but they have no advantage at all against the Nuggets. They can't keep up with the Nuggets' rhythm."
"In this game, the Cavaliers kept the pace very slow. They were not led astray by the Nuggets. They stuck to their own rhythm."
"However, the Nuggets still take the initiative on the court. If LeBron wants to win, this is not enough!"
