346. I really dare to write news

Cavaliers fans are going crazy tonight: Is this team really a championship contender?

Looking at the record, 13 wins and 4 losses, yes!

It depends on the strength, yes!

Otherwise, there is no way we can still play like this under this outrageous defensive strategy.

But the opponent's choice of play style, why...

…

The Trail Blazers' method of defending James - as long as James holds the ball and attacks, the Trail Blazers will have Liu Xiu as the top defender, small forwards to attack, and centers to protect the frame, a three-pronged approach to limit James' scoring. In addition, the power forwards and point guards

The guard went to restrict James from passing the ball.

This defensive strategy is full of loopholes, but the statistics of encircling and suppressing James are very effective, and James never expected such a thing at first.

The first time caught James off guard, and the second time made James, who just didn't believe that the Trail Blazers would be so defensive, collapse in faith.

After James reacted, he began to seize the opportunity and counterattack the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers have a clear advantage in strength. When both teams perform normally, the Cavaliers have little chance of winning.

But the Trail Blazers' endless defensive strategies against James greatly narrowed the strength gap between the two teams.

The Cavaliers are a team with a 50% winning rate, which means they have a stable ability to win. Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers have competed with the Trail Blazers.

When the rivalry lasted for a period of time, the Cavaliers players collectively became angry when they discovered that they really had a chance to defeat the Trail Blazers!

Not every player on the Cavaliers has the confidence to win. When they play against a strong team, their first reaction is - it's normal for us to lose against this opponent.

After staying on a bad team for a long time, no matter how tough a player is at heart, he or she has this kind of mentality.

This is the lack of a winning culture.

After the Cavaliers players got excited, they went on a 12-5 run from the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter, going from 19-22 behind to a 31-27 lead, stopping the Trail Blazers!

James was very excited. Although he played for 15 consecutive minutes and only made 1 of 5 shots, only got 3 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 turnovers, the Cavaliers overtook the score and his 'containment' was the main contributor!

However, after the score was overtaken, the Trail Blazers players also became excited and played even harder - the little Cavaliers, the little emperor, how dare they struggle in the face of the warden's bullying?

It is necessary to suppress James. As much as the league and sponsors praise him, other players in the league will hate him. The same is true for most of the Trail Blazers players. And it can be seen that if you don't bully James now, you will have no chance in the future.

If you continue to bully me like this, your progress will be too fast.

Also, what James just thought was right. He chose to complete the 'handover of the boss position' when playing against the Trail Blazers, which angered the Trail Blazers stars.

The Trail Blazers still surrounded James on the defensive end, and played harder on the offensive end! They also played a stronger and more ferocious offense!

It was also an explosive performance. The difference in strength between the two teams was as big as the difference in record. This was mainly reflected in the fact that when the Cavaliers needed to score in singles, when the Cavaliers needed to rely on singles to stabilize the situation, James couldn't even beat him.

; And the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu, Randolph, Raheem, and the Flying Squirrel can take turns...

Also, even if the Trail Blazers defend like that, they still have routines and defensive coordination, and have a very clear defensive effect - restricting James.

The Cavaliers' defense is really bad.

Ever since, a game that made Cavaliers fans collapse occurred - the Trail Blazers' outrageous defense could still rely on their physical strength to lead the Cavaliers 105 to 94 with 1 minute and 33 seconds left in the game.

Team 11 points!

When the Cavaliers attacked, James was defended by Liu Xiu, who was one meter away from the three-point line. He stepped back and made a three-point shot that flew out of the basket. The Cavaliers coach surrendered and replaced the main players. The Trail Blazers also replaced the main players.

In the end, the Trail Blazers steadily defeated the Cavaliers 108-96!

“Game Rating…”

"Heritage:

Host data: 10 of 19 shots (including 2 of 5 three-pointers), 10 of 11 free throws, 32 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists; LeBron James data: 4 of 21 shots (including 1 of 6 three-pointers), free throws

4 of 6, 13 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists. (Goal 1 completed)

The host leads the team to win the game. (Goal 2 completed)

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Successor (BUFF)."

After the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu received a reminder that the task was completed.

After having a clear plan, everything went so smoothly. The feeling of being crushed by the lineup was naturally very satisfying. Liu Xiu has always enjoyed the benefits brought by the strong lineup of the team. Looking at the envious eyes of James on the opposite side, it was even more satisfying.

.

James' inner OS at this moment: If I had reacted at the start, if I had caught the ball better those few times, if I had made several open three-pointers, if Boozer had not left... Tonight, from my son's

Age reached the competition, completely defeated!

As for Liu Xiu, he admires James very much.

When the game reached the middle of the fourth quarter, James had already got 8 rebounds. In the remaining half of the quarter, James didn't bother to grab the rebounds. He was still thinking about it when there was one and a half minutes left.

To create a comeback opportunity, he threw a three-pointer from the outside. If the little emperor is more persistent in triple-doubles, the gold content of triple-doubles per game may be lowered in advance, and it will not be Guigui's turn...

…

After the game, Liu Xiu attended the press conference for the game against the Cavaliers. After the reporter asked two questions about the game, he began to inquire about Anne Hathaway and her children. Liu Xiu did not disclose any more information.

Details, he wanted to announce this matter in a high-profile manner, but the specific details did not need to be announced to the world in a big way.

After lunch the next day, Liu Xiu left Cleveland with the team and flew to Minneapolis.

After checking into the hotel, Liu Xiu called home to report that he was safe. He also estimated that his parents should be in Portland and called to check.

As a result, he arrived, but the cheap parents he was thinking about completely forgot about his son. After arriving, they gathered around the grandchildren and didn't even think of calling him to say a few words.

Anne Hathaway said it very implicitly, but Liu Xiu already felt that his family status was -1... No, even his girlfriend who called after the game yesterday and couldn't bear to hang up first, was busy staying in front of his parents.

I made a good impression and hung up the phone in a hurry.

The warden's heart was hurt...

…

The next day, at 8 a.m. on December 10, Liu Xiu followed the team to the Target Center to prepare for the competition.

On the bus, Liu Xiu sat in the last row and continued to read the scouting report. As usual, his teammates were chatting, but today seemed to be particularly enthusiastic. Liu Xiu also heard James' name and curiously asked about the one who was most excited.

Randolph, got the answer.

It turns out that an NBA column on ESPN’s official website went viral last night.

The content is also directly related to the Trail Blazers. It was written around the game between the Trail Blazers and the Cavaliers the day before yesterday. The specific content is not important, what is important is the meaning of the expression - James's kingly appearance is fully displayed, and he encounters the Trail Blazers.

The team's 'Jordan Law' defense.

Liu Xiu felt that ESPN really dared to write about it!

Isn't this the early version of the runner-up surpassing Kobe, the first championship surpassing Jordan, and the unbeatable history of consecutive championships...

Even Liu Xiu, who was not surprised by such news, felt unhappy with James. Who among the other stars would be comfortable with ESPN's way of promoting them? And they can't do anything to ESPN as a media. Those stars

You can only target James crazily when you are beating him.

If James wasn't really talented and improving very quickly, he wouldn't be able to withstand the love that ESPN gives him.

However, the Trail Blazers will just complain and discuss this matter. They have already played against the Cavaliers twice this season and have no chance to continue to play against each other. Even if they are lucky enough to win the first place in the Western Conference after the OK group disbanded.

If they advance to the finals as the top pick, they won't be able to play against the Cavaliers again. It will be difficult for the Cavaliers to even make the playoffs.

Although James has won countless attention and made a lot of money outside the court with the support of ESPN, on the court, Liu Xiu mourned for James. James may suffer a little when he encounters powerful players from all walks of life, but for

Liu Xiu was not worried that this opponent would be defeated at all. This was James.

After arriving at the target center, Liu Xiu put James' matters aside and devoted himself to preparing for the war.

The Timberwolves have played 20 games so far, with 12 wins and 8 losses. They are a very good, 50-win team. They are not a soft persimmon like the Cavaliers that the Trail Blazers bullied the day before yesterday. But the Timberwolves' performance this season

, there is still a huge gap compared to last season. This season's Timberwolves, let alone stand out among the Western Conference, are only ranked fourth in the newly divided Northwest Division.

Currently, the Trail Blazers have 14 wins and 4 losses, ranking first in the Northwest Division and second in the Western Conference; the SuperSonics have 14 wins and 6 losses, ranking second in the Northwest Division and fifth in the Western Conference; the Nuggets have 13 wins and 7 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

Third in the Northwest Division and seventh in the Western Conference; the Timberwolves have 12 wins and 8 losses, ranking fourth in the Northwest Division and eighth in the Western Conference...The Jazz have 3 wins and 17 losses, ranking 15th in the Western Conference.

Although the Timberwolves are only ranked eighth in the Western Conference, the Trail Blazers have not underestimated their opponent.

A week ago, on December 3, Garnett scored a super triple-double of 17 points, 22 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks against the Suns. In addition to the Madman's 23 points and the Alien's 22

With 6 assists and Szczerbiak's 15 points, the Timberwolves defeated the Suns 97-93.

Szczerbiak is in excellent comeback form, the Wolf King is at his peak, and the aliens and madmen are getting older and stronger. The Timberwolves could have become stronger than last season, but their record is much worse than last season. The reason is

Cassel suffered injuries this season and missed 10 of 20 games. He played 10 games with 8 wins and 2 losses, and 4 wins and 6 losses in no games.

Therefore, as the season progressed, Garnett's ability to lead the team was questioned. Under the guidance of the media, many people felt that Garnett was a loser and thought that Garnett would not be able to win without Cassell.

The Timberwolves are weak…

But this is not important in the eyes of the Trail Blazers players. It does not matter whether Garnett's ability to lead the team is strong or weak, because Cassel is not injured in the Timberwolves they are about to face!
