Chapter 322 Cleveland
The Lakers had a rough night in Milwaukee.
The next morning, they took the team plane to another small city, Cleveland, Ohio.The team bus waited at the airport in advance and took the players to the hotel that cooperated with the Lakers.
After Xu Tian settled his luggage, he started his daily routine strength training alone.
There are as many as 82 games in the NBA regular season. Such a dense schedule, in addition to bringing greater risk of injury, also has many benefits, one of which is that the next game can be ushered in soon.If you didn't play well before, you can crush these rumors with another victory.
Milwaukee netizens posted a post on the Reddit forum last night, titled "The Los Angeles Lakers paid the price for their pride, Antetokounmpo set a new career scoring high and led the team to victory."The replies below the post are mostly criticizing the Lakers for not paying attention to their opponents, and the comment with the most likes condemns Xu Tian, claiming that he is too inflated.
Xu Tian learned this information from Nick Yang. Although this kind of remarks did not cause him much trouble, it still made him re-examine his words and deeds.He is now a public figure, affecting not only adult fans, but also countless young fans who are about to or are establishing values.What he can bring to these young fans is what Xu Tian values most now.
Tyronn Lue is the temporary head coach after the Cavaliers fired David Blatt. Although he is not good-looking, he is about the same age as the Celtics Marshal Stevens. Pass.It's just that Coach Lu's appearance is not outstanding.
The last match between the Cavaliers and the Lakers was at the end of January. In that game, James broke out and scored 1 points, 41 rebounds and 13 assists.However, 9 Lakers scored in double figures, of which Xu Tian scored a triple-double and led the team to reverse the game.
Both sides have the determination to win.
Owen once faced off against Xu Tian in the All-Star Game, and was also provoked.Now facing it again, I really want to beat the Lakers and prove myself in front of my idol Kobe.
Kevin Love used to be the boss of the Timberwolves. Frequent injuries and the dilemma of not being able to enter the Western Conference playoffs made this all-star power forward with luxurious statistics at the time put on the trading shelf.It was initially rumored that Klay Thompson and draft picks were exchanged from the Warriors for bargaining chips, but was threatened by Warriors consultant Jerry West to resign. In the end, the Warriors gave up the idea of trading and failed to make it.
The Cavaliers ushered in the fourth No. 2014 pick since James in [-], and used this No. [-] pick to select Andrew Wiggins, known as "Canadian Jordan".Later, in order to enhance the immediate combat power and help James, who returned home, the Cavaliers packaged and traded Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett to Minnesota in exchange for All-Star power forward Kevin Love.
With a height of 208 cm, Love is a rare white power forward in the league. He has good rebounding and shooting ability, but his defense is quite flawed.Because of this, it was criticized by many Cavaliers fans.
David Blatt also doesn't like players with this characteristic of Love. He often refrigerates Love in the fourth quarter of the game, resulting in a gradual weakening of his control over the locker room.It developed out of control and was declared dismissed by the management.
The NBA is essentially a league of stars. As long as the stars are not against the team owner, they can basically walk sideways.This is also the reason why Xu Tian and Kobe can win a lot of initiative.
Coach Lu was thinking hard about the tactics of tonight's game. He couldn't figure out the key points. After hesitating for a long time, he sent a text message to James: "LeBron, how long can you play?"
James and Kobe are the top brands of Nike, they are highly sought after by the media, and they are usually very busy, so they did not reply to Coach Lu immediately.
Coach Lu's best tactic is to maximize James' ability, so he needs to keep James on the court as much as possible so that he can compete with the Lakers.He watched the game between the Lakers and the Bucks last night, so he naturally didn't think he could easily beat the current Lakers.
Irving and Love are relatively more practical, focusing on the part that can be controlled, and come to the Quicken Loans Center Arena early to conduct daily routine training in advance.
There are two Eastern Conference championship banners hanging above the Quicken Loans Center arena, as well as the jerseys of several retired celebrities. Compared with the Lakers and Celtics who do not fly the division championship banners, it is a bit shabby.This is also impossible. For decades in Cleveland, the four major league teams have never won any championships.
Founded in 1970, the Cavaliers is an authentic old-fashioned team. The biggest star in team history is LeBron James.There is no dispute about this.
Love and Irving talked about tonight's game as they passed each other to practice shooting.
Irving missed a three-pointer and asked Love, "Kevin, do you think we can beat the Lakers?"
Love raised the ball with both hands, and when he heard Irving's words, he put his hand down again, leaned the ball with one hand, and said: "If you let me say it, I think I can win. We have LeBron here, the strength Not much weaker than the Lakers."
Owen can see the media talking about James every day. It is rare to see someone attribute the credit to him. Now that Love has not listed him, he said a little unhappy: "Kevin, you also think that I Doesn't it matter to the team?"
"How come?" Love is a very elegant player, explained, "You need to match up with Xu, and the pressure on the defensive end will be great, so LeBron needs to play a better offensive performance."
When Owen thought of Xu Tian, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared, replaced by burning fighting spirit.
Xu Tian is one of the hottest point guards in the league today, leading the assists list alternately with Rondo of the Kings, and ranked second in the MVP list after Curry.Now the point guards in the league want to challenge Curry and Xu Tian to prove their strength.
Xu Tian has a bad reputation in the player circle and is often excluded, but everyone has to admit that Xu Tian is a strong man, even though he just passed his 20th birthday not long ago.
Irving is not afraid of Curry.In the several matches between the Cavaliers and the Warriors this season, Coach Lu's offensive and defensive tactics against Curry are very effective, and he played very well, full of confidence in his heart.
Xu Tian is an exception.He has the figure of a small forward, and his height of 201 has an advantage in the first position. His strong body and precise shooting make the players defending him passive in most cases.
Irving's offensive ability is not bad, and his defense is at the average level of the league, not too bad, but it is absolutely impossible to become an elite on the defensive end.It is still very difficult for him to defend Xu Tian alone.
Coach Lu thought of this, in addition to reducing James' defensive tasks, he did not let Irving defend Xu Tian, and appointed Iman Shumpert to accept the most challenging task.
