On January 7, the Warriors came to Cleveland and challenged the Cavaliers away.
This summer, the Cavaliers traded No. 1 pick Irving for All-Star player Carmelo Anthony, quickly completing the team's rebuilding work.
Melo's arrival gives Cavaliers fans renewed hope of making the playoffs.
In order to welcome Melo to the team, the Cavaliers replaced the iconic James poster on the streets of Cleveland with a poster of Anthony.
Some Cavaliers fans even behaved in a heartless manner, buying up Anthony's jerseys, while James' jerseys were discarded and burned everywhere like garbage.
It can be said that with the new love Anthony, the old love James was immediately forgotten by Cavaliers fans.
But the good times didn't last long. After the start of the new season, Cavaliers fans received a wake-up call that brought them back to reality.
After the start of the new season, the Cavaliers lost more and won less, only achieving a record of 2 wins and 5 losses, ranking second from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.
The Cavaliers started with such a poor record, Anthony said he would not take the blame, and he was also very depressed.
Little Melon thought that after getting rid of the restraints, he could free his hands and feet to do something big, but he didn't expect that his teammates turned out to be a bunch of noobs.
Mike, who is as strong as the basketball god, cannot lead this Cavaliers team into the playoffs at this stage.
The disastrous start made the Cavaliers management realize that single-core leadership is a thing of the past, and now it is popular to form a team.
Therefore, the Cavaliers management has been looking for a suitable second-in-command for Anthony in the free market.
Regarding tonight's game, the Cavaliers are self-aware and have never expected to win. They plan to give it a try and see if they can catch a dead mouse.
The Warriors treat any team equally and fight with all their strength.
After a series of pre-game activities, the game officially started.
Not long after the start, the Warriors players quickly entered the state, scoring consecutive points to open up the score and seize the opportunity.
The Cavaliers can only rely on Anthony's singles to chase points.
The main players of the Cavaliers such as Varejao, TT Thompson, and Sessions cannot help Melo. They are proper CBA teammates.
When the game entered the second half of the first quarter, Anthony's shooting percentage began to decline, and the Cavaliers immediately fell into a scoring drought and faced the crisis of collapse at any time.
The Warriors have a strong ability to seize opportunities and will not miss opportunities easily.
Led by Sun Yi and Curry, the Warriors launched a 15-2 offensive climax, instantly opening the point difference to double digits.
Teams that have played against the Warriors this season basically understand this truth.
If you are playing with the Warriors, you must not desert, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Because the offensive firepower of this group of guys is so strong, they can open the point difference to double digits in an instant, and they will be unable to catch up later.
Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott immediately requested a timeout and called his players to the bench to make adjustments.
Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.
After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers' offense still showed no improvement and could only rely on Anthony to score points in isolation, barely maintaining the status quo.
When the first quarter lasted about 8 minutes, the Warriors replaced Sun Yi and other main players as usual, and replaced them with Brewer and other bench gangsters.
After substitutions and adjustments, the Warriors still had the upper hand and did not give the Cavaliers a chance to counterattack and chase points.
Just like that, after the first quarter of the game, the score on the big screen was 32 to 18. The Warriors led by 14 points entering the second quarter.
The short inter-section rest is over and the second quarter begins.
As soon as the second quarter started, Sun Yi scored consecutively like chopping melons and vegetables, further expanding his lead.
The Cavaliers' bench is considered the worst in the entire league, and anyone can bully it.
Seeing that the score was getting bigger and bigger, Cavaliers head coach Scott immediately replaced Anthony, who was still hot, on the court to stabilize the situation.
Melo did achieve good results after coming on the court and solved the Cavaliers' offensive problems, but it was limited to this and was still unable to reverse the situation and narrow the point difference.
As time passed, the Warriors' main players returned to the court one after another, and the originally anxious situation immediately turned towards the Warriors.
The Cavaliers have absolutely nothing to do about this, and as the players' physical fitness declines, they cannot guarantee the success rate and thus cannot bite the score.
The Warriors took the opportunity to hit another offensive climax, widening the point difference to about 20 points.
In the following games, the Cavaliers made all-out moves on the outside and were very lucky. They hit several fairy balls and struggled to recover a few points without completely losing suspense in the game.
At the end of the half, the Warriors entered the second half with an 18-point lead.
After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half began.
After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors did not waste any more time and planned to establish a victory as soon as possible to avoid a long night of nightmares.
When the Warriors showed off their "brave three crazy" momentum, the Cavaliers were unable to resist and were instantly swept away by the surging waves.
Halfway through the third quarter, the point difference had widened to nearly 30 points, and the outcome of the game had lost its suspense.
Cavaliers head coach Scott looked at the situation on the court and shook his head helplessly.
He knows very well that the Cavaliers and Warriors are not teams of the same level at all, so this result is not surprising.
Immediately, Coach Scott replaced Anthony and other main players, replaced them with substitute players, and announced that he would admit defeat in advance.
Nelson did not rush to kill them all, and immediately replaced the main players such as Sun Yi and replaced them with rookies such as Kelai and Butler to practice.
There were no miracles in the subsequent games, and the Warriors maintained their lead until the end.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 125-96, winning their eighth consecutive victory.
Sun Yi played for a short time, only playing about 26 minutes, and scored 21 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Although the data looks good, it is far behind Sun Yi's average data.
Previously, he managed to score a quadruple-double to improve his per-game statistics, but now he is holding back. He can only make up for the loss with a few more bursts in subsequent games.

…
After defeating the Cavaliers, the Warriors rushed to Milwaukee non-stop for the last game of six consecutive games.
According to the Warriors' rotation strategy, Shane Battier and other veterans used various weird reasons to cope with the league's rotation policy and did not play in this game.
Kelai was very excited to play as a starter again and cherished this hard-won precious opportunity.
After the game started, Kelai devoted himself to the game and quickly got into the state.
Seeing Ke Lai's hot touch, Sun Yi, Curry and others turned into green leaves to deliver cannonballs to this guy.
Kelai felt the spirit of everyone's selfless dedication and was immediately moved.
After adjusting his mentality, Thompson's confidence greatly increased, and he lived up to everyone's good intentions. He seized every opportunity to take action and basically made every shot hit the mark.
The Bucks were directly stunned by the shooting. Before the game, they didn't pay enough attention to the rookie Clay Thompson, so they didn't develop an effective defensive plan.
Now it is too late for the Bucks to formulate a temporary defensive plan, and they still focus on guarding Sun Yi and Curry. They have no other energy to care about other players and can only watch a rookie shoot them to death.
Under Clay's superb performance, he made 7 of 10 three-pointers and scored a game-high 35 points, defeating the Bucks in one fell swoop.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Bucks 134-92, winning their ninth consecutive victory.
At this point, the Warriors ended their six-game losing streak with a undefeated record.
During this period, the Warriors showed strong dominance, beating their opponents by an average of 21.5 points per game, ranking first in the league.
It can be said that the Warriors are hard to beat in the new season and are dominating the entire league with their strong strength!
