190. The weakness of the inner line is magnified

After taking out the Pacers, the Cavaliers took a few days off before welcoming their last opponent of the month in the final stages of January. Memphis Grizzlies. A team that has also been slowly rising this season, after the experience of Paul. After a few years of low cháo after Gasol's departure, the Memphis finally restructured their twin-tower roster.

Zack. Randolph & Mark. Gasol brings perhaps the strongest interior combination in the league to this team, with both offensive and defensive and basketball IQ, and a good group of outside players.

At the same time, they also have a well-qualified point guard and a core forward player. Rudy. Although Guy is not a superstar, he is also a repeat of lore kills at critical moments.

This team has almost all the weapons on the offensive end and is just as strong on the defensive end. Tony. Allen's arrival has left them with an outstanding defensive sapper in the squad. Throughout the history of the league, many teams have had a strong defensive player in their lineup to contain the superstar of the opposing team.

It can be said that although the Grizzlies are not currently ranked high in the Western Conference, their roster structure is full of championships. They have the best candidates in every position, and if there is one flaw in this team, it is that their star is not at the top of the league.

If Rudy. Guy for Kevin. Durant, LeBron. James and even Cameron. Anthony, Paul. Pierce is one of them, and I believe that this team will have a more reborn performance and results!

However, despite the current Grizzlies team, it is also a rather difficult opponent for the Cavaliers. Just like now, as the season progresses, while the Cavaliers' table is amazing, their shortcomings are also slowly starting to be magnified.

That's why they've gone from the top three in the East at the start of the season to the point where they're now struggling to keep seventh in the East.

Their lineup is flawed, and it's not the slightest flaw. Morris. Williams even in LeBron. In the James era, he also did not prove himself to be a No. 1 player who could control the rhythm, more often than not, he was more of an attacker and a fixed-point shè.

And the Cavaliers' current interior line, after losing Ilgoskas and Shaquille. After O'Neill, he was as capable of doing whatever he wanted like a young girl in a skirt but no leggings.

These two issues are the biggest weaknesses that the Cavaliers need to solve at the moment, but you must know that wanting to strengthen the roster is not as simple as signing a No. 1 star and a No. 5 star.

Now that everyone thinks that this Cavaliers team will be Wu Dawei's team, then the management of the arena naturally needs to have a center when it comes to making trades. For the past seven years, they've been around LeBron. James came to buy the draft, and now, undoubtedly, they need to build the lineup according to Wu Dawei's own characteristics.

Wu Dawei's explosion this season has made him distinctive. A player who can defend and freeze the opponent's super perimeter on the defensive end, and at the same time, he has a good ability to defend and counterattack quickly; On the offensive end, Wu Dawei is a player who is very sure of his mid-range shots, and at the same time, his aggressive running and good blocking characteristics always allow him to find many open shooting opportunities on the offensive end.

Wu Dawei's distinctive merits are an important reason for his success this season. At the same time, Wu Dawei, who was placed in countless spotlights, also had his own shortcomings. On the offensive end, his ability to hold the ball and play alone is insufficient, that is, his ability to attack independently needs to be improved. Whether it is a frontal single with the ball or a back-to-back single, Wu Dawei needs to improve. Although he has practiced his own back-body singles, after using it for a while, Wu Dawei obviously found that with his height of 203 cm, there is still a big disadvantage in the inside back-body singles.

As a member of the team's future plans, Wu Dawei's strengths and weaknesses are undoubtedly something that the Cavaliers must prioritize when trading. Finding a player who is a good fit for Wu and can play with him on the court is the main goal of the Cavaliers management.

That's why, the Cavaliers haven't been revealed to be traded. And the Cavaliers, who still have no changes in the lineup, will use such a lineup to face an opponent who is far more difficult than the Indiana Pacers.

The two sides will meet twice in a row in the last two times, with the Cavaliers playing home and away. Three days after beating the Pacers, they welcomed the Memphis Grizzlies on their doorstep. Just seeing the opposing lineup made Cavaliers coach Byron. Scott had a headache.

Rudy. Guy has been famous for a long time, but now, there is no doubt that he is not the object of Scott's priority at all, because Scott has the card Wu Dawei in his hand. An ace that can even overwhelm James, Anthony, Durant and others, not to mention Rudy, who is inferior to these people. Guy is up.

As I said earlier, Rudy. Although Guy was a player who was selected for the American Dream Team, he was never a top-level star in the league. He's got a bit of a trait with Granger, both offensively and defensively, but they've never proven themselves to be buggy on the offensive end.

So Scott is more worried about the team's interior problems, as long as he thinks that he has to use an interior combination like Vallejo and Jamison to face Zach of the Grizzlies in the game. Randolph & Mark. Gasol, Scott is one head and two bigger......

In the last game against the Pacers, the Cavaliers were turned upside down by the Pacers' Hibbert alone, not to mention the Grizzlies they were about to face. by Mark. Gasol and Zach. The twin-tower lineup formed by Randolph will undoubtedly be a more destructive save!

In fact, when the two sides met for the first time, the problem left Scott's troubles unavoidable. On the penultimate night of January, the Cavaliers face the Memphis Grizzlies at home at the QuickLoan Center.

Scott made a change of formation in this game, facing Marc Murphy. Gasol and Zach. Randolph's Grizzlies team, Scott put Schickson, who had been playing off the bench, to replace Jamison.

Obviously, this move is to be able to curb the Grizzlies' interior twin towers. The 206-centimeter Hickson is about the same height as Randolph and is a sturdy interior player, so naturally, he has become a lifesaver for Scott to stop the opponent's interior in this game.

But obviously, this change of formation did not help the Cavaliers to have more chances of winning the game. Although Hickson is very skillful, he is far inferior to Zach in terms of technology. Randolph, Randolph's feints and footsteps have reached the level of perfection this season.

It is even more difficult for powerful insiders to contain this fat head, let alone **.Hickson, who will always be a potential jumping man.

In desperation, on the defensive end, Scott could only ask Wu Dawei to participate in the work of assisting Lan Fat Man as much as possible. The addition of Wu Dawei quickly made Hickson feel a lot less pressure, because the pressure was all on Randolph and Wu Dawei.

Although Randolph has fully exploded on the offensive end this season, and his average of 20+10 per game is also dazzling, his shooting point on the inside is really not very high.

It seems that with such an effect, Wu Dawei's assistance defense is successful. But then comes the problem, Zach. Randolph is no longer the ball bully of a few years ago, and after being repeatedly pinched by Wu Dawei, he began to gradually look for opportunities to pass the ball. Guy gets more shots from the outside.

Although Wu was able to rely on the advantage of anticipation and dismiss the moment Randolph intended to pass the ball, it was not always possible for him to get back in front of Guy before he could shoot.

This puts the Cavaliers in the last game, and in order to prevent the Grizzlies' twin towers from blowing themselves up on their home court, the Clevelands have to shrink inside when defending, so that the Memphis can find a lot of space on the outside!

And the key problem is that the opponent's touch on the outside doesn't break down every night, just like tonight. It's not the best of both worlds, and when the Cavaliers were forced to face such a situation tonight, they looked a little out of touch in the game.

And this problem that needs to be solved urgently is the head coach Byron. Scott is currently the most powerless. Because there are very few cards that can be played on the inside in his hand. The stretch has been going on for almost half a season, so it looks like the Cavaliers are increasingly in need of more interior reinforcements.

The loss was only expected, as the Cavaliers suffered a defeat immediately after winning at home. The Memphis Grizzlies, just like them in the last game, defeated the Cavaliers in a bloodless defeat at the Quick Loan Center.

It can be said that the Grizzlies blossomed inside and outside in this game, and the inside and outside complemented each other, allowing them to continue to accumulate the advantage of winning in the end.

Zack. Randolph had 16 points and 14 rebounds in the game, and while his scoring looks like he was averaging more than his average per game, it couldn't be ignored that he had six assists tonight. And the Grizzlies' two core players on the perimeter, Rudy. Gay and O.J. Mayo scored 22 and 24 points, respectively.

Gay surpassed his points per game average in this game, but Scott, as the head coach of the Cavaliers, was still very happy with Wu's defense tonight. He understands that Guy's loss of points cannot be left on Wu Dawei's head alone.

Because Wu Dawei has to defend the opponent's outside attack arrows alone, he also has to frequently shrink the inside line to help his teammates defend the opponent's interior core. The distance between the basket and outside the three-point line is at least 7 meters, and Wu Dawei's lack of skills can be regarded as a portrayal of his game tonight.

With 19 points, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks and 4 steals, Wu Dawei is still the opponent's nightmare on the offensive end.

At 116:90, the Cavaliers lost the game. But they don't have time to grieve, because they have to fly to Memphis right away and play the Grizzlies again at the Memphis' FedEx Arena.

David Wu flew to Memphis with the team the day after the game, while Lashlin boarded the plane the day after watching the Cavaliers play the Grizzlies at the Cavaliers' home court.

But her destination wasn't Memphis, but Los Angeles. Now that Wu Dawei has agreed to her filming for the public service announcement, it is natural that Laughlin will have to go to Los Angeles to coordinate all aspects of the matter first. Wu will travel to Los Angeles to meet with Laughlin after the Grizzlies on the road.

After playing two games in a row against the Grizzlies, the Cavaliers will get a four-day break, and Wu Dawei also took advantage of this time to go to Los Angeles to shoot a commercial.

While the Cavaliers' back-to-back games with the Grizzlies weren't back-to-back, they were only one day apart.

The game kicked off on Feb. 1, and Cavaliers head coach Scott put Jamison back into the starting lineup after the last lineup didn't work out spectacularly. Because he found that when he put Hickson in the starting lineup, then the Cavaliers' interior line will also become very weak in the discussion time.

Although on the bench he also has a 7-foot-long man Ryan. Hollins, but this thing really doesn't have much strength to speak of. He is only a little better looking than a telephone pole, and his role in the inner line is just a-stirring stick......

You can't expect Ryan. Hollins can hold up the Cavaliers' interior line, even in rotation time, against second-rate interior players on opposing teams. Because Hollins himself is just an unruly horn.

But with Vallejo and Jamison on the inside, the problem is still obvious. That's when Jamison has to face Zach, who is much taller and stout than him. Randolph. The imminent explosion of the No. 4 position seems to have become the biggest headache for Scott again.

Don't say Antoine. Jamison's small body, just because he is over 34 years old, is enough to make people sweat for him.

As the season progresses, game after game continues. The Cavaliers are constantly suffering setbacks on the inside, and their weaknesses in the paint are slowly being amplified under the microscope.

But in the face of such a dangerous situation, Cavaliers coach Scott is helpless because he can't find a quality interior player from within the team; Naturally, everyone's hopes are pinned on the trading market.

Therefore, it is not only the Cavaliers who are worried about the problem of the Cavaliers' interior line being too weak, but also Cleveland fans are gradually realizing this. But fans apparently thought more because of LeBron. The scene of James expelling Miami is vivid, and the Cleveland people are afraid that their newly discovered team's new star Wu Dawei will also follow in James's footsteps.

After all, Wu Dawei's contract will expire this summer, and although Wu Dawei has never expressed the idea of leaving the team so far, the Cleveland people can't afford to gamble. It's not every year that another superstar is discovered after a superstar leaves. (To be continued.)
