NBA beast center

The victory or defeat in the preseason doesn't mean much. Even if they win all, it doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't count in the record of the regular season.

But the preseason can see the characteristics of a team's starting lineup, chemical reaction and so on.

The performance of the Cavaliers in the preseason was mediocre, which disappointed the fans who were expecting this team to kill in the new season.The chemical reaction of the Big Three is still not enough, Irving and Waiters played too much in their own way.

Shou Ye is also very puzzled. It is said that the Mamba spirit is indeed to allow players to be more themselves, and they will be a little independent on the offensive end. However, the black Mamba is a guard who has been defending for many years in the league. The investment in the defensive end is not much less than the offensive end. .People are not submissive on the defensive end and punch hard on the offensive end.

It is very difficult for a team with poor defense to win the championship. This has been confirmed too many times in the history of the NBA over the past few decades.

On October 10, the Cavaliers ushered in the first game of the new season against the New York Knicks.

The Knicks ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference last season and missed the playoffs.This season, they renewed Melon's contract with a maximum salary, and acquired Dalembert and others, and their strength has increased.

This team has a lot of players who can play, but it's always a bit of a mess, and it's not easy to line up a starting lineup.And obviously Melon is going downhill a bit, Stoudemire is no longer at his peak, and there are JR and other thorns in the team, the team seems not so united.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is the same as the preseason, or Irving, Waiters, James, Varejao, and Shouba.

Nothing counts in the preseason, but basically the starting lineup is of great reference value.

After the start of the game, the offensive efficiency of the two teams was very low. The Cavaliers' side was still the same as in the previous playoffs. Irving, James, and Waiters held the ball, Shou Ye opened up the space, and Varejao ate the cake to steal the chicken.

Irving and Waiters still play their own games, no one agrees with the other, and whoever gets the ball will do it.James is in a poor state, with almost no touch from outside long-range shots, and his impact on the basket is also affected by his back injury, and he has lost his previous explosive power.

As an insider, Shouye has very little possession of the ball, except that James will pass the ball to him. Irving and Waiters completely regard him as an insider like Ryan Anderson, which is to open up space for them after the pick-and-roll, and occasionally catch the pot and throw a 3-pointer. .

The Cavaliers' offensive efficiency is extremely low, and there is almost no coordination. They play their own way, not like a team with the goal of a championship, but like a rebuilding team.

Cavaliers coach David Brandt looked sad. He has been standing and coaching, and has been shouting to pass the ball more, but Irving and the others still go their own way.

James was also a little angry. He didn't get mad, but his desire to attack was also low.

Seeing that they didn't treat him as a human being, Shou Ye stopped silently being a tool man.If you don't pass the ball to me, I'll grab it myself.

The Knicks' fighting power was also limited. Facing such a messy Cavaliers, they didn't even open the score, and the game went to the last quarter.

In the end, the Cavaliers lost to the Knicks 90:95 at home and ushered in a black opener.

The Cavaliers fans who came to the Quicken Loans Center Arena to watch the game looked very disappointed. They thought they could see a big victory, but the result was no different from last season.Fortunately, they have experienced the poor state of the team in the past few seasons, and they are already immune, even if they are disappointed, they are not unacceptable.

Shou Ye did not get many chances in this game. Relying on fighting and second offense, he scored 10 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. Compared with his performance last season, his statistics have shrunk seriously.

James was also in poor form, scoring only 15 points.

The highest scorer for the Cavaliers was Irving with 22 points.

In the press conference after the game, neither Shou Ye nor James pointed out the problem that the team's two guns in the backcourt were too independent. This was only the first game, and neither of them wanted to tear their faces.

Back at the house he rented with Bu Bowa, Shou Ye was obviously not in a very high mood.

"I said Tom, Kyrie and Dion really don't pass the ball!" Beaubois was also complaining about Shou Ye. The good friend was a center forward in the first team last season, but he was so ignored by the two younger players here.

Shou Ye lay on the sofa with Ge You, sighed and said, "Let them chatter for a while longer!"

Beaubois didn't understand: "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Shou Ye smiled: "Why am I in a hurry? Someone will be more anxious than me, and then I just need to add a fire!"

Beaubois quickly understood: "LeBron is the boss, he should be the most anxious, and now everyone outside wants to see his jokes!"

"Yes, if there is no accident, one of these two independent players will be traded in the near future. Remember that our goal this season is the championship, not to accompany these two guys to collect statistics!" Shou Ye calmly said.

Beaubois nodded with a sudden realization. He felt that Shou Ye was very mature when he was in the Mavericks. Now it seems that this good friend is thinking too far, and he doesn't care about the sharp drop in his short-term data.

Of course, Shou Ye doesn't care about the decline in personal data in a short period of time. His efficiency has not decreased, and the decline in data is only due to the sharp drop in ball possession.After one of the tumors is traded and the other is obedient, it will be a matter of time before the ball returns and the data returns.There's no need to quarrel with the team because of this now. In this way, all the conflicts will be brought to him, and no one will pay attention to the toxicity of the two cancers.

Most people in the NBA circle know the ball and know what happened to his Shou Ye's data decline. He doesn't need to explain, the facts speak louder than words.

calm down!
On November 11, the Cavaliers played away against the Bulls.

In this game, the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency has improved, but their defensive performance is too poor, especially the outside defense. Irving and Waiters seem to have reached a tacit understanding. The outside line is not defended, and the pressure is completely placed on the inside line.

Shou Ye still didn't get any ball rights, and many of his ball rights were won back by himself.He wasn't slacking off on the court, but he certainly wasn't working his ass out either.

The result of the game still ended in the Cavaliers' failure. They have ushered in a two-game losing streak this season.

After the game, the locker room of the visiting team was very quiet. James did not speak. He was still a very cheerful person in the past.He didn't accuse anyone, but those who knew him well knew that this was a sign of his displeasure.

Cavaliers coach David Blatt tried to comfort everyone and cheer everyone up, but the effect was not very good.

Shou Ye didn't say much, all of this was within his expectation.

Irving and Waiters left early, neither of them willing to stay here with these big brothers.

Shou Ye and Bu Bowa also left together, and they went back to the hotel.

Shou Ye played well in this game, scoring 12 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Except for a few points and assists, other statistics are normal.

The lack of scoring and assists is due to the lack of possession of the ball. In fact, his shooting percentage is good, but he doesn't take many shots.
