Center first

Chapter 466 The Most Dangerous Knight

The transfer turmoil of the Cavaliers has become the biggest topic in the entire NBA these days. The head coaches and players of the Lakers, Magic, and Celtics have all expressed their dissatisfaction to the media, because no one wants to see His competitors took such a big bargain, but the silence of David Stein and the entire NBA management has already doomed that such a matter will not turn around, and everything can no longer be changed.

Although Big Z, who is at the center of the trading vortex, has not yet chosen to sign with any team, but anyone with a brain knows what he is waiting for. The rule that he cannot return to his home team within 30 days is yes. The only thing that can limit his immediate return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but after 30 days, no one can prevent this guy from returning to the arms of the Cavaliers, which is almost doomed.

The laughter of Danny Ferry and Mike Brown has already shown how good the mood of the people of Cleveland is now. As for the extra $200 million, it is really nothing to Gilbert. All the things required have been obtained, so these monetary losses are no longer a concern, and the Washington Wizards have also achieved their goals, and their huge salary space has been released to the greatest extent.

This also makes those fans who have to face the Washington Wizards to enter the reconstruction ahead of schedule start to look forward to the arrival of this summer. Maybe letting go of star players like Jamison and Butler is an irreparable loss for Washington, but with two It's not too bad a choice for a 30+ veteran to exchange for a potentially brighter future. After all, they still have a chance to recover this loss this summer, and the hope of the Washingtonians is still there.

It’s just that it involves the interests of those competing teams. A city like Los Angeles with a powerful media will not let go of criticizing the actions of the league’s top executives. Their object of criticism is that the league has too many old rules, and David. Stein's connivance to the Cleveland people has once again brought the little emperor to the forefront. Too many close relationships between him and David Stein have been dug out and criticized by angry Los Angeles people, because these loyal supporters of the Lakers have already It is determined that this is the ghost of the NBA league behind the scenes, and they are using this method to promote the little emperor.

The spread of war of words is inevitable, but the Cleveland people's attitude of avoiding and not fighting can hardly make this battle burn so vigorously. After all, the management of the Cavaliers knows how to survive in the NBA world. Don't easily make yourself the target of public criticism, otherwise even God can't save them. The care David Stein gave them won't last long. Such a very risky transaction of theirs has been to some extent The bottom line of this old man has been touched. If it is not for the purpose of preserving the competitiveness of the Cavaliers, he may not give up his temper so easily. Commercial interests are sometimes an important condition for David Stein not to use his iron fist without any scruples. one.

When will Big Z be able to return to Cleveland is no longer a question that many people care about. After getting Jamison to join, what kind of performance the Cavaliers can achieve in the battle is what those competitors need to know most. After all, the return of Big Z can only be regarded as icing on the cake, and Jamison's performance in the new team can directly determine how far the Cavaliers can go in the playoffs.

Mike Brown now understands what he needs to do. Only by allowing Jamison to quickly integrate into the Cavaliers' tactical system with the little emperor as the core, can they really make a good deal, otherwise, even if If they really signed a superstar stronger than Jamison, it might not have any good effect. The F4 corps that the Lakers worked so hard to build was already luxurious enough, but when they fought on their own How it was defeated by the civilian Pistons, this kind of lesson is not unheard, the Cavaliers don't want to repeat the mistakes of the Lakers.

The tight time and the degree of integration between the new and old players of the team are important indicators to test Mike Brown's current coaching ability. Now the entire Cavaliers team has completely completed the personnel structure required by him and the little emperor. Leading these people to the finals smoothly may be the end of Mike Brown's time with the Cavaliers. Gilbert will not allow such a coach to continue to exist.

However, it is obvious that the little emperor James is much luckier than Kobe in the F4 era. Although O'Neal entrenched next to him is no longer as fierce as before, Jamison showed his performance in the first game after joining the Cavaliers. In order to maintain a good competitive state, in the Cavaliers home game against the Bobcats, he scored a total of 31 points, [-] rebounds, [-] steal and [-] block in [-] minutes of the game.

Perhaps this kind of data performance is not so good compared with his high efficiency of dominating the audience when he was in the Wizards, but don't forget that this is only his first official game in the Cavaliers. Being able to play such a debut performance in an unfamiliar environment has been very successful, and under his involvement and support in the three-second zone, the little emperor fiercely plundered 39 from the Bobcats in 33 minutes of playing. With 10 rebounds and [-] assists, even O'Neal was able to score [-], [-] rebounds and [-] blocked shots in [-] minutes. This is enough to show that Jamison brought the Cavaliers The chemical reaction is strong enough, and this deal seems to be very worthwhile.

After the game, the little emperor grinned and praised his new helper to all the people who interviewed him. It can be seen that the little emperor was in a very good mood this night. And the anxiety he showed, because he finally found a partner who can help him complete his impact on the championship, especially in offense, Jamison can always provide effective help to the little emperor in the low post and on the periphery, this The rebounding ability of the big man guarantees the efficiency of the Cavaliers in the fast break, and their scoring in the second attack has also increased, and Jamison's offensive range is large enough, even extending to the three-point line. When Z comes back smoothly, the entire Cavaliers will have two big men who can fire near the three-point line, which will play an important role in completely opening up the opponent's defense zone, which is important for any team. A very valuable asset, but for their opponents, it will definitely be a disaster.

Although the Charlotte Bobcats are not a good touchstone, their strength is not very good in the East, but the Cavaliers can play such a performance in the first game after the transaction is completed, not only let the The fans of Cleveland were overjoyed, and they had begun to alert those potential championship opponents collectively. However, they could not cause any impact on the Cavaliers except that they could publicly accuse such behind-the-scenes transactions on their own media. I will start to be affected by the successful trade of the Cavaliers, but the only team that is not affected by this may be the Miami Heat. They know why the Cavaliers did this. That kid Lin Yi was in the game against the Cavaliers It gave those Cleveland people too much inside pressure, so this undoubtedly forced the opponent to make personnel adjustments, but this time the adjustment was in a way that was beyond Pat Riley's expectations, but the Miami Heat The game will not be affected in any way by such a deal.

While Cleveland continues to hail their GM Danny Ferry as their hero, Miami, who have been silent on the deal, continues their winning streak, forever hungry for wins For the Miamis, the 8-game winning streak is not the final result they want. They need more victories to increase their bargaining chips for the playoffs. After all, home court advantage is a potential advantage. In the Charlotte Bobcats Only 24 hours after surrendering under the iron heel of the Cleveland Cavaliers, those poor Bobcats were once again brutally ravaged. On their territory, they were pierced by Miami's two sharp knives back and forth. The offensive combination of Lin Yi and Iverson can sometimes appear more brutal. Man's speed on the court surpassed the Bobcats by a level.

This is completely cat abuse, and it is a very cruel collective cat abuse action. When the Miami people's offensive footsteps are galloping on the field, the poor Bobcat players can only helplessly open their hands and look at the American Airlines ball. They didn't know if they had come to hell, but the dazzling lights had reminded them that this was not hell, but it was more terrifying than hell, especially the pressure from those big hands.

You can never count on Lin Yi to be out of action in a game, so in this case, you can't expect the Bobcats to rely on guys like Tyson Chandler to stop Lin Yi on the court. One's ferocious offense, one is a 20+10 basket giant who will come to the basket every game, and the other is a basket coolie who won't attack without the "queen bee" Paul. There is no need to give such a gap. There are too many descriptions. From the moment the game started, Lin Yi played under Chandler's marking. His repeated tearing in the interior almost made the Bobcats play in the first quarter. At that time, I was feeling desperate for another night of massacres, and even started to give up.

Larry Brown, the old man, may have never been so violent when directing the game. He kept roaring loudly on the sidelines, and even Spoelstra, who has always been known for his passion when directing the game The old man conceded a three-pointer, and sometimes he even worried that the old guy would faint from suffocation because of such a passionate roar, but the progress of the game on the court did not change because of Larry Brown's roar Change, this poor old man can only vent his dissatisfaction on the sidelines, and all he can see is Miami's crimson jerseys ruthlessly raging in his team's half court, and the Bobcats are present The counterattack on the ground has never formed a continuity.

In Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena, the Bobcats lost to the Cavaliers by 11 points. They were gradually opened up by the opponent's crazy attack with 5 minutes left in the final quarter, but in Miami's In the American Airlines arena, they even struggled to resist until the last quarter. The offensive and defensive rhythm of the entire game was always in the hands of those Miami people. All they could do was struggle seemingly futilely. Constant mistakes, or direct misses, the rhythm of the entire game was never under their control, and the gap of 20 points in the score made Larry Brown slammed in the locker room after the game. Li reprimanded these poor fellows for nearly half an hour.

I can't say whether the Bobcats were affected by the previous day's loss in such a back-to-back game, but at least in terms of the scene, they seemed weaker, especially when they went inside, whether it was Chandler Guys with extremely poor offensive means are veterans like Stephen Jackson. Under the cover of Lin Yi's strong defense, they can't come up with any good ways to score points. They can only rely on their own teams. It is too reliable to shoot for a gamble, and the final outcome can be imagined. In addition to adding a few rebounds to the opponent, all they can get is a pitifully low shooting percentage, only 67 of 25 shots. In the middle, this is really not an ordinary low.

Bobcats head coach Larry Brown, who was stubborn after the game, was not present at the press conference. He would rather have the NBA give him a penalty notice than enjoy another question from the media on this terrible night. Those people want He knew very well what kind of news he got from his mouth.However, he is not too old to be confused. Simply using his team as a reference to compare the level of the other two teams is probably a method that only an idiot would come up with. Using the Bobcats' failure as a reference point for discussion, this old man is not interested in accompanying those journalists who are doing good things crazy, but this old guy did not let Lin Yi who ravaged the Bobcats after the game.

After teaching his players a lesson, Larry Brown, who chose to take a day off in Miami to continue his away trip, found Lin Yi in private, except that the old man wanted to talk to Lin Yi about why every time he met the Bobcats, the big Besides going crazy on the field, he also hopes to get the latest situation of old Chuck from this kid. The busy life of the head coach makes him have no time to see the old guy lying on the hospital bed. Only such old men can understand the importance of each other. They have fought on the basketball court for too long, and they know what it means to cherish. Only a strong opponent can promote people's continuous progress, and these two people of the same era All the old guys understand this truth.

Although Lin Yi himself didn't have much time to go to the hospital to accompany Old Chuck, Lin Xiner, Lewis, and Rogge and Harry would often visit the old man who had been in a deep coma. It has already been suggested to the family members that they can give up continuing treatment. After all, the final outcome can only be brain death, but no one will make such a decision, especially Lin Yi is very opposed to the suggestion of the attending doctor.

When he visited old Chuck before the start of the season, he heard the doctor repeat this opinion again. If Lin Yuwei hadn't held his hand desperately, no one would have been able to guarantee that the doctor could still stand. Going out of the ward, although it wasn't the doctor's fault, but old Chuck's status in Lin Yi's heart already represented too many personal feelings in it, he could resist hitting Sam directly during the press conference. Smith's miscellaneous behavior was already a very restrained expression, and now someone suggested that old Chuck should die naturally, and he would definitely not agree.

No matter how much money is spent, as long as old Chuck can continue to keep the hope of survival, Lin Yi will not be stingy about spending money. Even if Roger wanted to pay for his father's medical treatment, Lin Yi blocked him. , All the expenses are borne by him alone, which is one of the reasons why Lin Yi received many contracts in a row. He rarely consumes a large amount of money, but for the treatment of old Chuck, Lin Yi Yi never considered the issue of cost, as long as there was a need, he would immediately use the best medicine and nursing staff. He only hoped that one day the old man could open his eyes again to see the world and see that his apprentices had begun to live in the world. Conquering the NBA is just a beautiful wish, but Lin Yi never intends to give up.

Larry Brown felt gratified that old Chuck was able to teach such a little guy in his last days. Not only was this kid already strong enough on the basketball court, the most important thing was that this kid hadn't forgotten who he was. Give him this opportunity to show his ability, maybe his old buddy should feel satisfied, this kid did not embarrass the disciples of CD, and he has already started to raise the banner for his teacher again in this basketball kingdom, The iron-blooded temperament of the Pistons still survives in this league, and the desperate spirit of Old Chuck has never really died.

"Boy, I don't want to answer the questions that the reporters are going to ask after the game, but I can give you a piece of advice. Those Cleveland people are very difficult to deal with. Stronger, but you will know when you meet them, one Jamison can't shake the whole world, but the changes he caused in the Cavaliers can shake the balance of this league, must remember to be careful with that A guy who can play inside and out, and what he brings to the Cavaliers is a fatal change, especially for you potential opponents."

Larry Brown gave his advice to this little guy before the end of his conversation with Lin Yi. This old guy has a keen sense of smell and has already smelled the changes in Cleveland. Although he doesn't think his team has no chance, he I still hope that this apprentice of my old buddy will not start to underestimate the enemy because of a kind of blind self-confidence. When his team has little chance to bring down the top four in the Eastern Conference, he doesn't really want to see people who have something to do with him. The boys were plotted against by a group of opportunistic guys, at least Miami still has Lin Yi and Big Ben, while Cleveland only has the Danny Ferry he hates so much. Maybe this kind of change is caused by those who think they have succeeded People in Cleveland didn't expect it.

Larry Brown's advice to Lin Yi has been fulfilled in the past ten hours, but this time the unlucky one is not the Miami Heat, but the Orlando Magic with Howard. The team that had passed the Cavaliers stumbled at their own home. They faced the newly traded Cavaliers at their home court and lost 95:110. This is not the worst thing. The advantage of insider control that he has relied on most since then.Completely crippled by Cleveland's crazy attack, Howard was directly confused by a wave of fierce impact. He only played the whole game for less than 10 minutes and had already received the price of six fouls.

In addition to O'Neal using his rich experience in the interior to cause a lot of trouble for Howard in both defense and offense, the even more terrible Jamison fired continuously in the area between the three-second zone and the three-point line. After a big striker like Turkoglu, few people can keep up with Jamison's attack frequency. Lewis is even more embarrassed by this guy's continuous impact. The score of 25 rebounds washed away all Cleveland people's doubts about him. He used this method to tear open the inside defense of the Magic. The proud defensive system completely collapsed.

Although the people in Orlando insisted that it was because the Cavaliers opened up the gap after Howard went off the court, the entire Miami team watched the video of the game, but they already got too much information from such materials, just like Larry. As Brown said, Jamison may not be able to move the earth, but his involvement in the low post has opened the door for the Cavaliers to attack the inside. His shooting is not just as simple as scoring consecutively. The density of the opponent's inside defense was widened, which made the Magic team, which was trying to double-team the little emperor, lose the opportunity to encircle.

Now no one in this league dares to pat his chest and say that he can stare at the little emperor with his own power. Even the Heat, they all rely on continuous blocking and rounding up to kill that guy's impact, but now Jamison The emergence of the siege is to make your encirclement lose the formation you can rely on. Either you divide a person from the inside to defend him, or you wait to see this guy has been shooting and bombing continuously near the three-point line. The Magic team at the end of the game It started to crash, also because of the existence of this guy, especially when Jamison's hand felt hot.

"It's a fucking cheap one, it's really a big choice..." Spoelstra squeezed out a sentence after watching the video.

It seems that the joining of that guy has become a big trouble for all teams, and the Miami Heat are not immune. . .

(When the referee plays the leading role in the finals, no matter how skilled the players are, they can’t play a wonderful game. Today’s Ray Allen is very handsome, but the most speechless is the referee. Is it true that now the NBA Is the salary of referees still very low? These guys are forced to use such performances to earn attention? You have a problem with David Stein and don’t harm our fans? Call a foul in the finals in 40 seconds, and what? It's really weird, and your mistakes are so outrageous! Do you dare to let us watch a more comfortable game?! Copy!)
