Chapter 471 471. Owen's Confidence

Not a little bit of defense, not a little bit of worry... Another focus battle is in front of the fans.

On February 2, the Lakers came to Cleveland to prepare for the game against the Cavaliers the next day.

James has been annoying lately.

In the past few years, due to the collapse of the Celtics, the Hulk, James dominated the Eastern Conference and was invincible. He reached the finals for four consecutive years, and other teams were opponents who sent records.

James, who returned to the Cavaliers this year, also thought so at the beginning. He is confident that he can lead the Cavaliers to rise rapidly. After all, there are two All-Star starters, Irving and Love.

However, this year was not going well from the beginning, and it finally went smoothly in December. Before the All-Star Weekend, the Cavaliers had the best record in the Eastern Conference from mid-December to mid-February.

However, after the All-Star weekend, James finally realized that the hole was a bit big!

The records of the Eagles and the Knicks are almost unshakable by the Cavaliers!
In other words, it is very likely that the Cavaliers will enter the playoffs this year as the third in the Eastern Conference, and it is very possible.

Then the team hovering at No.7 in the East this year is the Celtics.

Thinking of the Celtics team, James felt a headache. Finally, he saw the Celtics fell for a year, and they came back to life this year, especially Bradley and Crowder. Liu Ren is a very headache guy, and it also gives James a headache.

"Why are all the Celtics guys like this kind of weirdo?" James thought exactly the same as Liu Ren.

……

Many games of the Lakers this season have become no suspense. The strength gap between them and ordinary strong teams is too big. In many of their games, those bookmakers are unwilling to open the banker, and it is clear that they will lose money!
But today's Lakers game made all the bookmakers come alive.

Generally speaking, bookmakers make sure profits without losing money, because they make the odds very particular. In short, the odds they design are the ones that will not lose even if you are killed.

But today is also a gamble for the gaming industry.

There seem to be only two teams that can be called the opponents of the Lakers this season, one is the Warriors and the other is the Cavaliers.

Today, the bookmaker gave the Lakers the odds of winning at 1 to 1.9, and the odds of the Cavaliers winning at 1.

This kind of odds shows that today's game is not a game of picking a strong team to make a steady profit, but a real gamble!
对于真正的赌徒来说，他们是不会用钱压湖人队之前那些1赔1.05或者是1赔1.1都不到的胜率，而是压湖人队对手的一赔2点几甚至3点几的庄，期待着能够爆冷。

Bookmakers rely on these real gamblers to make money.

And today is really gambling. The Lakers and Cavaliers are almost 1 to 2. Although it is much worse than those odds of 1 to [-], the chance of making a lot of money today is better than looking forward to the chance of being upset. many.

The key is to see if you can make the right bet. Both the Lakers and the Cavaliers have performed very well recently, and it can even be said to be the best in their respective divisions!

……

……

On February 2015, 2, the Lakers started their last game in February at the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland as scheduled.

Liu Ren looked at the No. [-] pick in front of him with unfriendly eyes, and felt that the world is really impermanent. Maybe he will meet him in the finals this year?At that time, we will have to play several games with each other!
However, Liu Ren couldn't figure it out. As an "old" friend who entered the NBA in the same year, why does this guy in front of him always look like he wants to kill himself every time?
As "classmates and friends", it stands to reason that their 2011 players should love each other and live in harmony!
"Boss, we are sure to win today, and your winning streak will end here!" Owen said arrogantly.

"Well, I know, my opponents have told me so in 52 games before." Liu Ren confronted him unceremoniously.

Just kidding, Liu Ren is not an old fritter. In his previous life, he was also a young guy who dared to contradict his company boss. In this life, he is not an uncle, but a younger guy. How can James be like that who can turn all opponents City of friends.

When it comes to 52 wins, Irving's heart is blocked. The current record of the Lakers is 52 wins and 4 losses, an unprecedented super record.

But Irving is not afraid, he is as confident as James, confident that his team has a chance to win the championship!
This year Irving is more qualified to be proud than in previous years. In the past, it was only because of his rapid promotion to the top point guard level, and then because of becoming an All-Star starter.

Now Irving has more confidence, because his team is finally one of the teams that dominate the league!

Therefore, what makes Irving most upset is the guy in front of him who has been called the strongest player in 2011 by the outside world.

Last year, Irving was the most upset and felt the most wronged.

At that time, Liu Ren turned out to be the only superstar in the class of 2011, who stole the limelight from him. Then Thompson also emerged and became one of the candidates for the strongest player in the class of 2011. Fortunately, Thompson has a single function and cannot really shake his status, but Liu Ren is different, making him feel that the world is very unfair.

Everyone loves big planes, but it's not fair to planes... Owen's mentality is as unbalanced as the heroic bombardier Kutcher's.

Why should I come to Cleveland as the most promising rookie in 2011? Why would Liu Ren, a guy who was so bad in college, be so lucky to go to the Lakers with Kobe and Pau Gasol by his side? The three veteran players, Paul and Nash, can still have so many young players to assist, and his No. [-] pick is surrounded by players who other teams look down on, and even find it difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Owen once felt that God was too unfair to him, and the team's draft was also weird. The third pick picked Waiters, which was okay, but he couldn't help him too much. Then he got the No. [-] pick and actually picked a development player. The guy who can't even play in the league.

At the end of last season, when the Cavaliers became the most favorable winner of the No. [-] pick for the first time, Irving was devastated because he didn't know what kind of exotic the Cavaliers would choose for him.

But this life is unpredictable. Just when Irving wanted to reject the Cavaliers' request to renew his contract in advance, James suddenly returned to the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers' management was very powerful and only used one champion. The lottery and a parallel import champion brought Love back in exchange.

Although there were some problems in running-in at the beginning of the new season, after running-in, Irving found that he and James alone could dominate the Eastern Conference. One abuse, but Owen's own confidence is back!

Defeat Liu Ren, the big devil!
This is Owen's biggest dream now!
