Chapter Ninety-Three: The Regular Season Ends
The losing streak came unexpectedly, losing to the Wizards and the Magic, and the Cavaliers as a whole were a little confused.
Against the Magic team, the Magic team scored double-doubles for seven people, it was almost against the sky, Qin Yang was a little speechless, and the Cavaliers lost in both games.
With the playoffs just around the corner, the Cavaliers are clearly distracted.
James didn't set a good example at this time.
This is also a kind of championship temperament, and Qin Yang only had a trace of worry about the playoffs at this time.
After the losing streak, the Cavaliers' original nervousness slowly eased. Sometimes it's just like that, when the team has a good result, the players are under too much pressure and the performance is getting worse and worse, and after relaxing, they are getting better.
It was like that with the Wizards before, and so was the Cavaliers.
On April 5, the Cavaliers host the Spurs.
The Spurs are as old fritters as ever, and with the playoffs already clear, the Spurs have no intention of fighting the Cavaliers at all.
Popovich only allowed the GDP pair to warm up, playing less than 30 minutes, and the Cavaliers comfortably won on the road.
Zhuge Vic is conserving the strength of the three veterans.
On the 8th, the Cavaliers host the Wizards.
The team, which had just slaughtered the Cavaliers, came to the road and finally got back to normal, and James played less than 30 minutes before the Cavaliers won the game.
Qin Yang came off the bench to organize the offense, and the Cavaliers scored six double-doubles, and finally won by more than 25 points.
The Wizards are still that belly.
On the 10th, the Cavaliers played the 76ers away.
The 76ers are a fantastic team.
At the time of Allen Iverson's time, the 76ers were the hottest superteam in the league, and all teams wanted to watch the 76ers play because they had Allen Iverson, the league's most famous fighter.
Allen Iverson is the shortest player in history and has incredible breakout and finishing ability among shooting guards, and it's a pleasure to watch Iverson play.
The short Allen Iverson is in the inside line of the strong forest, like a butterfly through a flower, a leaf does not stick to his body, and he scores a layup.
This, of course, is the propaganda of the Alliance.
Alan Iverson is at the forefront of the league in terms of fighting spirit, and Alan Iverson is also the top in the league in terms of ball skills, but tactical flaws and technical flaws have inevitably made Allen Iverson a cancer.
When Allen Iverson left the 76ers, it was because the 76ers were too weak to make the playoffs, let alone win the championship.
But...... Later, whichever team Allen Iverson went to, which team was unlucky.
From the Nuggets' backcourt double guns, to the current Pistons leaving Allen Iverson idle as a substitute, it all shows this, and the 76ers without Allen Iverson...... Entered the playoffs.
This is a great irony.
This season, the little AI Iguodala performed very well, although his ability to lead the team was not recognized, but the tactics of 76 played out.
The players of the team worked together with each other and had a good chemistry.
The 76ers still got a playoff spot this season. 、
In this game, the 76ers are full of energy and are ready to play their momentum before the playoffs, which is important for a young team that is growing up.
But when he met the Cavaliers, James led the team to teach the 76ers how to behave.
James played 37 minutes and had 27 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds, Qin Yang had 21 points and 6 assists, and Mo Williams had 19 points, and the Cavaliers won easily.
The 76ers are not weak, but they lack superstars who fit the system.
Iguodala did not have a strong desire to shoot, and could not hold the ball to score at critical moments and control the situation. Willie Green qualified as a substitute, and the start was a little reluctant, and the shooting rate of less than 25% in this game really pitted the 76ers very badly. Andre Miller is a good player, that's all, and it's clear that Miller doesn't fit well into the 76ers' system.
The other starters, Hellam Porter and rebounding maniac Reggie Evans, can only be regarded as having their own characteristics, a qualified starter with an annual salary of 10 million, and an interior player who has no role other than rebounding.
It's good for such a team member to enter the playoffs, but if you want to go to the Eastern Conference Finals, it's impossible.
Whether it meets the Cavaliers or the Magic, the 76ers are bound to lose.
After a weightlifting win over the 76ers, the Cavaliers returned home to face the Celtics.
The Celtics are likely to be opponents in this year's Cavaliers playoffs, having been a bitter host for the Cavaliers in previous seasons, knocking out the Cavaliers twice in a row in the playoffs.
Before the playoffs, the Cavaliers were united.
Qin Yang is very similar to saying to his teammates...... It's all going to be a playoff game soon, and this game has a yarn for it.
Is winning the playoffs good?
What if you lose?
But...... The boss of the team is James, and James looks serious when he meets the Celtics, and the players naturally value this game.
Not long after the game started, Qin Yang was stunned.
Because the Celtics' Big Three played less than 30 minutes, and Rondo played less than 20 minutes, the Celtics did not exert any strength at all, so they admitted defeat.
The Cavaliers didn't mean anything about winning this game.
No. 13, away against the Pacers.
This game is the penultimate game, and the record has been cleared, so the game is quite boring. In the first quarter, the Cavaliers took a slight lead, and in the second quarter, Qin Yang played a wave to open the score. With an 18-point lead in the first quarter, the game was decided.
When encountering this kind of team, the Cavaliers are the best at solving battles in waves, opening up the score and slowly grinding the opponent to death.
On the 15th, the Cavaliers, who returned to their home court, ushered in their final battle.
This time, most of the main players of the Cavaliers were rested, James, Qin Yang, Mo Williams, and Big Z did not play, and Delonte West became the core of the court.
But in this game, the Cavaliers did not admit defeat easily, and the substitute Tangier Gibson became a surprise player.
Daniel Gibson is interesting, having been with the Cavaliers since he entered the league in '06 and was also the MVP of the Rookie Challenge. Last season with the Cavaliers, he averaged 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game, which is very good.
But this season, after Daniel Gibson was injured, Qin Yang got the opportunity to play...... Then quickly occupy the main position.
Even Mo Williams and Delonte West came close to being substitutes, not to mention Daniel Gibson.
This season, Daniel Gibson averaged 4 points, 0.5 assists and 0.8 rebounds per game, and the statistics were unacceptably miserable. But in this game, Gibson was 12-of-24 from the field, with 28 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, and once helped the Cavaliers equalize.
In the end, though, the Cavaliers lost the game.
In this way, the 08-09 regular season is over.
