chapter 42. Take the knight lightly
Cleveland, it ’s really not a good place to say.
Heavy industrial cities, in the United States that have not signed environmental protection agreements, this kind of place is a place where acid rain falls at both ends of the three days. Although the level is not high, and it does not reach the point where it can directly harm the human body, it is always scary, resulting in a state In the capital, the population has dropped from the beginning of heavy industry in the 1940s to the current population of just over 300,000.
Due to the lack of people, there are fewer and fewer professional sports teams here. Although the Cleveland Browns are still nominally in Cleveland, they have actually moved to Akron next door. Several Cleveland national championships were won in Cleveland.
The Major League Baseball Indians even disbanded because they had too few fans. Although they have been rebuilding, they are not in Cleveland.
However, the basketball fans here are really strong. Since the Cavaliers became the top team in the league in the late 1980s, their fans have become very firm. They believe that one day Cleveland can take it again after many years. To the championship of the four major leagues in North America.
Probably the most avid basketball fan here.
For example, when the Eagles just came out of Cleveland Airport, they saw the Cavaliers fans holding the slogan hitting the Eagles.
“The Cavaliers fans are crazy? This is just a regular season.” Liu Mang was made loud by the noise of the fans who penetrated into the bus.
“Oh, rookie, when you get to Salt Lake City, you will be scared by the fans there!” Jason Terry said disdainfully.
It does n’t matter how Liu Mang feels. Jason Terry saw that many Cavaliers fans actually came to Liu Mang, and the Cavaliers fans holding the slogan “Ace to our team” let Jason- Terry is very jealous.
This has to talk about how bad the Cavaliers have been in recent years.
In 1997, the Cavaliers dug into the free market in the All-Star starting year, the regular season second team super power forward Sean Camp, and returned to the playoffs in the 1997-1998 season. The combination of three first-rate players like Sean Camp, Chris Mills and Trier Brandon wants to impact Eastern Hegemony after Jordan retires.
Who knows a lockout, when Sean Camp, who was known as the Rainman, turned into a big fat man close to 300 pounds, the Cavaliers championship dream collapsed directly, and even fell out of the playoffs, Sean Camp The 7-year 90 million contract has also become a burden for the Cavaliers. In recent years, they have entered the lottery area every year, and even ranked in the top eight and bottom five ranks.
This is not the most important thing. What is important is that the Cavaliers have been bleak in the last three drafts. In the first round of 1999, Trajan Jan Longton was selected at the fifth overall pick. This player has now been transferred to the NBA in April this year. The formed NBDL is the development alliance, and it is estimated that the end of the four-year rookie contract will have to leave.
The 1999 rookie selected after the Cavaliers includes the current All-Star Timberwolves small forward Wally Szebiak, the CIC successor Richard Hamilton, and the Suns ’short super power forward Shawn. -Marion, the eagle’s quasi-first star Jason Terry, followed by AK47 Kirilenko, Ginobili …
In such a year that barely can be called the draft year, the Cavaliers picked a non-NBA player in fifth place.
If the 2000 and this summer’s drafts really didn’t have to pick two parallels, then 1999 was purely unlucky. Trajan-Lonton was once the top three picks in 1999, but the top four picks The team didn’t dare to pick it and was picked up by the Cavaliers.
Then in 2000, the seventh pick Cavaliers selected Chris Meme … This summer, the eighth pick selected Senegal’s power center Diop, who was later cheated on the big contract twice by the Mavericks and Hornets.
For the third consecutive year, the top ten picks in the lottery area, three years to choose parallel, Cavaliers fans will be crazy.
Look at the Spurs. In the first round 28, I chose a small French sports car. The speed, the tactical awareness, and the future are bright.
Look at the Warriors and select Gilbert Arenas in the second round of the second round. The skilled skills and excellent overall view. If you give football rights, you do n’t know what the data can be like.
There is also an eagle, which is almost the end of the second round, and actually chose a “genius” player, frequented the homepage of major sports news, and even made headlines occasionally!
And the Cavaliers’ own center Diop, said another good Mutombo, averaging less than 2 points and 2 rebounds, Mutombo 50-year-old will not be so bad!
Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry ’s child with a lollipop being robbed. He had both a sense of vision and a headache. He reluctantly responded: “Yes, you are our best defender. I was scared to be normal. Of course, you wo n’t be scared, I ’ll give me two more **** in a while. ”
Jason Terry was happy when he heard this, but he was still very arrogant: “Well, of course, I am not the ball tyrant! Of course I will pass you the ball.”
“……”
……
Eagle playing knight is easier than playing the Knicks.
Complete strength crushed!
The Cavaliers’ penultimate record in the Eastern Conference was steady, with a five-game losing streak in the beginning, and the league didn’t pay much attention to them. The small city’s strength was poor. The start was entirely for the playoffs. The beginning of the season was three Back to back, the Eagles were fortunate to be one of the teams that picked up the record.
The Cavaliers do n’t have any particularly powerful players. The good point is Andre Miller at the point guard. This year, he has a good assist. He averaged 14 assists in the first five games. The other Ricky David Si, who later said the famous saying “The Cavaliers chose James to be my helper”, the third-rate small forward who shot three double-doubles to his own basket, and the same data that came after the Cavaliers. Mongolian-Murray ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ is the next year’s big man who got cheated by the Raptors for 35 years and got the contract of the contract signed by the Raptors for 35 years. 5 games, averaging 25 points per day.
Then, in the game between the Hawks and the Cavaliers, the Hawks started a wave of 14-2, and there was no more.
Liu Mang got playing time in the second half of the first quarter. The Cavaliers do n’t have defense. Those who brush assists think of assists and those who score points. Liu Mang is in the bottom corner in the second half of the first quarter. I got a few times to get out of the phone, and I got 6 points in the first quarter.
In the second half, Liu Mang got more playing time, but with more playing time, it is impossible to hold the ball like the previous few minutes of playing time and become a full-time pitcher. Occasionally, he has the opportunity to fight back. The Hawks’ fastest player, Liu Mang, has also fought back several times to fight back.
There was nothing like Liu Mang in this game that had strong opponents that had to face in the first four games, so it didn’t look much stunning, but it was the first time he played 15 minutes, 11 of 6 in the game, 3 of 7 in 3 points, as always Holding the ball is to do it, but unfortunately the Cavaliers have no defense, Liu Mang’s fouling ability can not be used, easy to have a shooting opportunity, who is idle to make fouls.
6 of 11 shots, Liu Mang played for the first time in a normal manner, and for the first time he got eight minutes of playing time. The efficiency was still high, scoring 15 points, and slightly refreshed his highest score.
Hawks did not give the Cavaliers a chance from the beginning. Cavaliers players care about the data. The goals of the Cavaliers coaching staff and management are also bad. The players love to brush. They also want to compete for Yao Ming.
97 to 84, the Hawks took the Cavaliers lightly and improved the record to 4 wins and 1 loss.
