189. The problem of the inside line
1. Problems with the inside line
"Last night, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the visiting Indiana Pacers, the second meeting between the two sides in a week. Last time, at the Indiana Conceco's Arena, we were defeated; Undoubtedly, last night's big victory can be regarded as a hearty journey of revenge. Add to that our first meeting with the Pacers at the start of the season, and currently, the Cavaliers have a 2-1 lead over the Indiana Nationals in three meetings in the regular season.
I think such a ratio should be within the acceptable range for the Cavaliers. Because the Indiana Pacers have been uncharacteristically this season, they are no longer the underdogs of the past few years. This season, the Pacers have repeatedly knocked out the league's established powerhouses. Therefore, we should be happy to have the upper hand against such a team that is full of hope and has a strong future. โ
The day after the Cavaliers' game with the Pacers, the host was discussing last night's game with the guests on a morning talk show on local sports television in Cleveland.
The host did not hesitate to praise his favorite team, and then, he was poured a basin of cold water by the guest sitting next to him. This kind of local xing quality program usually invites some well-known professionals in the local area to discuss the local team together.
First, the locals knew them; Second, everyone likes the same team, so there will be no sudden quarrel in the live broadcast of the show.
"While the results are gratifying, there is one thing we can't ignore. That's the process. The Cavaliers did have the upper hand in three meetings with the Pacers this season, and 2:1 is also a comparison of the true strength of the two sides. But we're not invulnerable. Because our inside line is too weak, so in the game, Byron. Coach Scott had to keep the team as close to the interior as possible when defending, in order to contain Pacers center Hibbert. But that means we're an open field! If, I mean, if the Indiana's outside felt even better last night, just to their normal level, maybe the side that lost by the big score was us! โ
"Our inside line is too weak!"
Even the flat-headed people can feel the Cavaliers' weakness on the inside, let alone the Cavaliers and the executives. But reinforcements don't happen overnight, and it's not easy to find an interior player who is both right for you and willing to let go, and the terms of the trade are the same as your requirements.
At least for now, it's more difficult. Otherwise, why is it that the Cavaliers, who have huge trade exceptions and many first-round picks, have not yet become buyers in the trade market.
"Could it be that Dan. Ferry never talked to you about anything? For example, which player do you prefer, and do you want to ...... Who left the team? โ
Bonnie. Laughlin turned off the TV in the apartment, then turned his head to look at Wu Dawei sitting on the sofa. After Wu Dawei finished his morning training, Laughlin called Wu Dawei and said that there were some things to discuss with him.
But when I arrived at Laughlin's house, the sports program on TV was analyzing last night's game. As the countdown to the trade market shutdown begins, there is more and more talk of a team trade in Cleveland.
"Yes, I told him that he wanted the team to bring in Billups." Wu Dawei shrugged his shoulders, not too long after that conversation, Wu Dawei naturally remembered it very clearly. It's just that the team hasn't moved, which makes Wu Dawei feel a little disappointed.
"Billups?" Laughlin raised an eyebrow, then laughed, "You really need an experienced and capable guard to lead you through the playoffs. Billups has the key ball and the ability to control the tempo of the game. He's a good choice. But it doesn't seem to be smooth. โ
"Yes, I haven't heard anything about it from management until now. Not even the slightest rumor, I don't know if Mr. Ferry ever contacted Billups. โ
Wu Dawei couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his words, he has grown from the self-care little dragon at the beginning of the season to the rising star in the mouths of everyone, naturally, Wu Dawei's ambition is no longer just satisfied with a few games, he wants to make a name for himself in the playoffs.
Obviously, the current lineup of the Cavaliers is completely unable to help Wu Dawei achieve such an ideal.
"Heh, it looks like you're a little disappointed~" Laughlin has experienced countless things in the world, and his ability to observe words and sรจ is naturally very skilled and sophisticated. She sat down, and then said to Wu Dawei: "The management of the Cavaliers has never been very efficient, and in fact, the Cavaliers have never had many chips. โ
Speaking of this, Laughlin suddenly changed his words and asked, "Dawei, can you sue me, have you ever thought about leaving the Cavaliers?" โ
"Leaving the Cavaliers?" Wu Dawei was obviously unprepared for this question, and he looked at the smiling Laughlin with some surprise.
"That's right. You know, people always like to run to the big city. Because there is more exposure, more money, fragrant cars, beautiful women, and you can get closer to the coveted championship faster! โ
Wu Dawei raised his eyebrows, and Laughlin's words made him a little moved. Big cities, metropolises, big ball cities, not only players, which ordinary person will not yearn for a drunken dream in the metropolis. But now, for Wu Dawei, who has already stayed in the big city, Cleveland, an inland city far inferior to Miami Beach, has given Wu Dawei more.
Much of that is due to his own hard work and his godly abilities, if Cleveland didn't give himself a chance in the first place, he wouldn't have succeeded at all.
Wu Dawei will not forget jรฌ last summer, himself at Wright. Coach Tibbetts conducted a hard training session with Ramon. The scenes of Sessions and others training are still vivid. Although money is always the ultimate thing that most people chase, Cleveland has Wu Dawei's teammates, coaches and friends, not to mention that it is not impossible to give itself money, but Cleveland can't be as dizzy as Los Angeles.
Wu doesn't know what the future holds, but at least for now, he has no intention of leaving the Cavaliers before the transfer trade door closes.
"But here are my coaches, my teammates and my friends!"
"Hmm~" Laughlin was very emotional about Wu Dawei's words, she said: "It seems that I signed a good man with a lot of feelings." It is said that Chinese care about feelings, and now I may understand why the Lakers can't sign Yao~Cleveland is really lucky~"
It's not so much that Lashlin is praising Wu Dawei, it's better to say ** him, although he has known him for a long time, Wu Dawei is sometimes not very accustomed to his female agent. In any case, this is a mature hot girl who is nearly 30 years old, and it is difficult for any man to resist the temptation.
"You didn't call me here just to tease me......" Wu Dawei spread his hands helplessly, causing Laughlin to laugh, she coughed her throat, and then said seriously: "Okay, since my players are such affectionate and righteous people, then maybe I can help you in the matter of Billups." โ
Havelin's words surprised Wu Dawei, and he spread his hands to obviously want to know why Laughlin said that.
"I have a good relationship with Billups' agent, Clem."

It was already afternoon when he came out of Laughlin's house, and Wu Dawei tasted the lunch cooked by his agent at Laughlin's home. It tasted good, but what made David more enjoyable was not Laughlin's lunch, but what she told him about how she could help Billups.
Although Billups is no longer the FMVP he was when he won the championship in '04, and his level may be declining as he gets older, there is no doubt that he can still rely on his experience and big heart in key moments of the game to bring great help to the team.
And more importantly, in the current transfer market, Billups, while not the best point guard, is undoubtedly the most realistic and suitable target for the Cavaliers. Chris. Paul is worth too much, and the league will certainly not trade him from one city to another. Big cities such as Los Angeles and New York are the most likely places for CP3 to go.
Billups is different, if you can ziyou sign Billups, then it means that the Cavaliers get a good playmaking guard without compromising any chips, then Cleveland will be able to be confident when looking for an inside line!
Such news undoubtedly excites Wu Dawei, although it is still unknown, but Wu Dawei can't help but think about the scene when he and Billups teamed up in the playoffs.
Of course, Laughlin's promise of a favor to Billups was not the main purpose for her calling David Wu to her house today. In fact, she hoped that Wu Dawei could participate in the filming of a public service announcement. The reason is that Wu Dawei is now popular and influential enough.
As a person who is passionate about public welfare and philanthropy, Lovelin has always been committed to this contribution. Naturally, this was a personal request of hers, but Wu Dawei readily agreed to her. Because Laughlin told Wu Dawei that charity and public welfare are the most positive things to do, and in the United States, many advertisers like to invite athletes with a sunny image and a positive image to shoot their advertisements and covers.
In the U.S., TV advertisers prefer to look for athletes to shoot their commercials because athletes tend to be positive and energetic. (To be continued.)
