Chapter 359 Dallas Mavericks University Alumni Association
On November 11, the Cavaliers continued to sit at home against the Washington Wizards.
The Wizards ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 44 wins and 38 losses last season.Under the leadership of No. 5 pick Wall and No. [-] pick Bill, this team has a bright future.
On July 7 this year, the Wizards announced the formal signing of Paul Pierce, with a two-year contract worth $18 million.
Although Pierce is 37 years old, he is still in good condition. As a well-known floor player in the league, his career will be longer than that of the flying player.
Since the start of the season, the Wizards have a record of 9 wins and 4 losses, and are currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.
In the locker room of the home team before the game, James stood in the middle of the locker room, clapped his hands and said: "Brothers, we ended our losing streak in the last game. We will continue to be aggressive in this game. As long as we defend well and attack Share the ball, no team can beat us! Come on, Cavaliers!"
After James finished speaking, James Jones, the leader of the locker room, also began to cheer everyone up.After a while, assistant coach Tyronn Lue also brought chicken soup.
For a while, the players in the Cavaliers locker room were baptized by waves of chicken soup, and they all became passionate and heroic.
Shou Ye lamented how important a good locker room atmosphere is. A championship team must have a stable locker room.As the team leader, James has been with such an excellent team as the Heat and knows the importance of team stability, so he brought in the locker room leader James Jones.
James Jones doesn't have much fighting power, but he has a very high emotional intelligence and is a very professional player. Even if he doesn't do anything, as a leader of the locker room, this signing is definitely not a loss.
Coach Brandt has an advantage. He is very generous. He doesn't care that assistant coach Tyronn Lue robs his lines. He is willing to let Lue communicate with the players.The players trust Lu more and he has no objection. He is a humble person. He is a rookie coach in the NBA, so he doesn't necessarily ask the players to do what he wants.
The Quicken Loans Center arena is full today.Since James announced his return to the Cavaliers, the team's season tickets have been sold out.You must know that the attendance rate of this team can be described as dismal in the four seasons that James has left.No one bought season tickets, no one bought peripheral products, and few merchants were willing to cooperate with sideline advertisements. The market value of this team evaporated hundreds of millions of dollars at once.
Cavaliers owner Gilbert is certainly not short of money, but no NBA owner is afraid of having too much money.There is absolutely no NBA owner who would like his team's market value to continue to evaporate.
Pre-match practice stage.
There are several former teammates of Shou Ye in the Wizards, like Drew Gooden and Kardashian's ex-husband Humphries.
They and the current Cavaliers Shou Ye, Beau Bois, and Marion are all former teammates. Everyone exchanged pleasantries, as if they had a sorority at Dallas Mavericks University.
The Mavericks team that won the championship back then seems to be the only one who is still in the team.
The game was broadcast live on Tencent, and the host Wang Meng and the guest Yang Yi were responsible for the commentary.
Wang Meng looks very similar to Thomas Jr., I wonder if they are related.Besides, Wang Meng doesn't like to grow his hair, which makes them more alike...
"Does Teacher Yang think that the Cavaliers' big victory in the last game means that their situation has reversed?" Wang Meng asked.
Yang Yi babbled and replied: "It's hard to say, why? Because the Magic is a rebuilding team. Just because you beat him doesn't mean that the Cavaliers have returned to the championship team. This team still has a lot of questions to ask." Solved, there is no problem with the ability of the Big Three of James + Shou Ye + Irving, but winning the championship is not a simple 1+1. Running-in is the most important thing. After running-in, this team has no opponents in the East. Running-in Not good, maybe another wave of losing streak is not out of the question."
The starting lineups of both teams were announced.Since Shumpert was injured, and JR also played as the sixth man in the Knicks, the Cavaliers coaching staff still arranged for Beaubois to start this game.
The Cavaliers' starting 5-man team is Shou Ye, Varejao, James, Beau Bois and Irving.
The Wizards' starting lineup for the away game is Gortat, Humphries, Pierce, Bill and Wall.
The grievances between Pierce and James are well known, and now one has left the Celtics and the other has left the Heat.
Kotobuki and Gortat prepare the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
At the start of the jump ball, Shouye lost the jump ball to Gortat, and the Wizards won the first wave of offensive balls.
Wall dribbled the ball across half court.
Gortat came up to cover.
Owen was covered all at once!
Shou Ye briefly defended against two. His strategy was to give Wall a certain chance of mid-range and long-range jump shots, and then followed Gortat's roll.
Wall rushed in with the ball!
Here Varejao comes to help defend!
Humphries on the other side of Walfen!
Shou Ye turned around and frightened his former teammate, who shot the iron!
Shou Ye leaned against Gortat and received the backcourt rebound.
Irving dribbled over, crossed consecutively at the top of the arc, singled Wall, made an emergency stop jump shot and hit the iron!
Varejao offensive rebound, handed over to James.
James and Shou Ye pick and roll, the latter cuts outside!
James rushed in to attract a pinch attack, and distributed it to Shouba outside the 3-point line!
Shou Ye shot a 3-pointer, but he didn't!
But Varejao still has rebounds!
The ball is divided into Shouye again!
Shou Ye made a 3-point shot-this time!
The Cavaliers lead 3:0 in the opening game!
Wang Meng laughed and said, "Varejao's rebound really completely suppressed Humphries!"
Shou Ye sighed that his former teammate had divorced Kardashian, but he still felt like his body was being hollowed out, with slow steps and slow reactions.
The Wizards attacked here, Pierce hit James in the low post, and scored the ball after a feint!
Bill caught the jumper and was shot by Beau Bois-no!
Shou Ye received the rebound from the backcourt, came over with the ball himself, faced Gortat, turned around and swayed violently, flew the opponent, took another step up and down, and scored the ball!
5:0, the Cavaliers lead at the start!
The cheers in the Speedy Loans Center arena immediately rose, the atmosphere in the arena was excellent, and the fans felt that the team was on the right track.
The Wizards attacked, Wall was emptied in the high position after the pick-and-roll, and the jumper still didn't work!
James closed the board, and a dragon came over, Pierce could only foul!
Yang Yi explained: "The Wizards are at a disadvantage in rebounding. If they can't shoot better than the Cavaliers, this game will be difficult for them."
The Cavaliers sent the ball out of bounds, Irving got the ball, dribbled over, made a strong burst after consecutive fancy dribbles, and there were also emergency stop jumpers!
7:0, the Wizards timeout!
Shou Ye lamented that Owen's dribbling is really picturesque, it is really practical and beautiful.This guy is indeed talented to be the No. [-] pick. Not all defenders can have this kind of dribbling ability.
