Chapter 62 The Best Touchstone
If which team is the best touchstone after the Cavaliers' deal, then there is no doubt that it is the opponent they will face tonight - the Miami Heat.
First of all, the Heat is strong enough and its overall strength is enough to rank among the top four in the league; second, James transfers to the Heat, so the Cavaliers are basically equivalent to a battle of old enemies; third, both the Cavaliers and the Heat are currently attracting the attention of fans, so the attention of these two teams will expand infinitely.
Therefore, if the Cavaliers want to test their own level, improve morale to the top, and make most people pay attention to them, then the game against the Heat will be their best chance tonight.
The Heat have two problems that have not been solved yet. The first is the cooperation between the Big Three.
This season is the first season of James, Wade and Chris Bosh, so there are big problems with the cooperation between these three at the beginning of the season, which can be seen from the average turnovers of James and the three average games.
Although their cooperation has become increasingly tacit as the season deepens, it seems that the chemical reaction between the three giants has not reached a satisfactory level.
The second problem of the Heat is the inside. Although they got Chris Bosh, their inside is still weak.
In the fifth position, the Heat never found a suitable candidate.
In fact, there are five centers in the Heat's lineup, but all of these five are embarrassed.
Joel Anthony is too short, Big Z, Eric Danpier and Jamal Magloil are too old and in a very unstable state, while the remaining young players Dexter Pittman are also very powerful.
Therefore, the Heat's No. 5 position is their biggest weakness.
In addition, Chris Bosh has done almost nothing on the defensive end, so as long as he encounters a team with a strong inside line, the Heat's inside line will basically be exploded.
It just so happens that the Cavaliers' inside line is slightly stronger than the Heat's inside line.
Anderson Valecho has good defense and dares to fight. Although he doesn't score much, it doesn't mean he won't score. And after winning Chris Weber, Paul Gasol, and Ben Wallace in succession, Hickson has become one of the leaders of the new generation of power forwards.
On both sides of the offense and defense, **-Hickson has made a lot of progress.
The most important thing is that **-Hickson is now very confident and proactive in playing basketball.
In recent games, **-Hickson has basically scored a double-double performance. On the defensive end, he has blocked no less than 3 blocks in several games.
However, Fang Chen is more worried about it. If Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra arranges LeBron James to defend **-Hickson, then **-Hickson's performance may be greatly reduced.
Although LeBron James has always been well-known to fans for his comprehensive offensive skills, there is no doubt that LeBron James' defense is also very strong.
In recent seasons, James has become one of the best defenders on the front line.
Even from No. 1 to No. 4, LeBron James can defend.
Therefore, if this happens, Fang Chen will have to take targeted measures.
…………
With half an hour left before the start of the game, the Quick Loan Arena was already full.
About 20,000 fans sat in the audience, shouting slogans or holding cheer sticks in their hands, and a sea of joy was born.
However, as Miami Heat players walked into the stadium from the player channel, the fans in the audience stopped cheering and booed them.
Especially when the "Little Emperor" LeBron James came on the court, the booing in the Speed Loan Stadium suddenly became even more intense.
It seemed that this would happen long ago, so LeBron James did not react much when he heard these crazy boos.
However, from the slightly awkward expression on his face, it can be seen that he still finds it difficult to accept such a scene.
After all, James has been here for seven years, and during these seven years, as long as he appears on the court, there will be excitement in the audience, including countless calls from ‘MVP’.
And now...
Dwyne Wade patted James on the shoulder, and the embarrassment on the latter's face quickly retreated.
In fact, it’s not the fault of Cleveland fans, because they never thought that James would leave here and “defect” to Miami.
They have always regarded LeBron James as the "king" here, how could they think of their "king" escaping from their kingdom?
Like the previous few games, Fang Chen drew the Magic Box Card before the game.
What made Fang Chen excited was that the player he drew today turned out to be Sean Marion.
As a star who was selected into the third team of the All-Star Team twice and four All-Star Football, Sean Marion was rated as a superstar by the Magic Box system.
Although it has not reached a superstar, in Fang Chen's view, Sean Marion is infinitely close to a superstar.
Although she looks a bit alternative and her shooting posture is also weird, there is no doubt that Sean Marion is an all-round fighter, especially her ability to defend from No. 1 to No. 4 on the defensive end has made the coaches more favored.
Therefore, Fang Chen, who had no idea how to defend James and Wade, two superstars, was very excited when he drew Marion.
Although it is very difficult to defend James, Fang Chen believes that Sean Marion at the peak will definitely cause some trouble to LeBron James. At least, one of James and Wade will always be restricted.
Because he drew Sean Marion, Fang Chen temporarily adjusted the starting lineup before the game.
Fang Chen put Joey Graham on the bench and replaced him as a young player Gerald Henderson, who had just traded from the Bobcats.
Obviously, Fang Chen has decided to attach Sean Marion's ability to Gerald Henderson. After all, the latter is younger, has greater potential, and is more worthy of the team's training.
So, the Cavaliers' starting lineup tonight became: center Anderson Valejo, power forward ** Hickson, small forward Gerald Henderson, shooting guard Stephen Jackson, and organizational defender Ju Holiday.
The Heat's five starting points are: center Ilgoskas, power forward Chris Bosh, small forward James, shooting defender Wade, and organizational defender Mario Chalmos.
This game is not only a battle between James and his old club, the Cavaliers, but also a battle between the Cavaliers to verify the team's chemistry.
So the Heat will be the Cavaliers' best touchstone tonight.
