56. War of words

On Nov. 12, it was the second day the Cavaliers arrived in Detroit. After a day of recuperation, they head to Auburn Hills Palace to face off against the Detroit Pistons tonight.

The two teams met in the playoffs last year, when the Cavaliers, led by LeBron James, comfortably swept the Detroit Pistons in the first round.

Now both teams have a new look, but their strength has dropped greatly compared to last year. Since the Pistons traded Billups, they have completely lost the toughness they had when they reached the division finals eight times in a row; Not to mention the Cavaliers, who were championship contenders last season, have become what people call fish belly at this time.

Even though they are now in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with a 5-4 record, they still can't escape the fate of being slighted. Because people firmly believe that the Cavaliers will eventually slowly reveal the true face of the abyss that he should have fallen into as the season progresses.

Competing for the top pick next season is the real destination of this team this season.

But neither the Cavaliers players nor the coaching staff want to be part of a team that is a mess, and no one can afford to lose endlessly, because that will lead to gradual loss and even self-degradation.

Perhaps the Washington Wizards, who have been in trouble for several seasons of civil unrest, have become a source of jokes for a team that was once a major player in the Eastern Conference during Arenas' prime.

Javier McGee's "worrisome" IQ has made a lot of jokes, and the failure of new champion John Wall to lead the team out of the mud makes people sweat for him. You know, at his age, it's the easiest to get lost in a team that seems to rot at all its roots.

So, in the game against the Detroit Pistons that night, the Cavaliers saw the dawn of victory after the three military lives.

In the first quarter, the two sides were evenly divided, and Prince Ji, who had been cultivated by the Pistons in recent years, did not play his amazing shooting percentage in tears, but instead made three shots from outside the three-point line, which became an important reason why the Pistons were not pulled away by the Cavaliers in the first quarter.

However, in the second quarter, he was "exposed", Rodney Starkey in 4 shooting 0 did not resist the impact of the Cavaliers' bench lineup on the game in the second quarter, and the Cavaliers also took advantage of this to play a wave of 8-0 mini-climax, and finally entered the second half of the game with an 8-point lead.

When Wu Dawei and other Cavaliers players returned to the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, they suddenly realized that there were no people in the stands at this time.

Scattered fans scattered around the arena, but it didn't seem like they were there to cheer the Pistons on. Because in the second half, when the Pistons scored, the Auburn Hills Palace was still deserted.

It even made him feel more deserted than the away Cleveland Cavaliers scored, at least after the Cleveland Cavaliers scored, there was a small cheer in the arena, and there were some Chinese fans in the Auburn Hills Palace Arena tonight. Of course, they are not here to cheer for the Cavaliers, but to Wu Dawei, a compatriot of the motherland.

Perhaps it was the cheers of his compatriots, but in the end, in this unsuspenseful game, Wu Dawei scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 steal, and the Cavaliers also won two consecutive games on the road, while continuing to consolidate their eighth position in the Eastern Conference and have tied their record with seventh place.

While the Cavaliers weren't as impressive as they had been when they won four straight games, their 6-4 record at this time surprised many. Because before the start of this season, everyone felt that the Cavaliers had absolutely no hope of making the playoffs this season. …,

While the current standings aren't enough to tell the story, with 82 games in the season, the midway and late stages of the season are crucial in the fight for qualification for next year's playoffs. But a glimpse of the Cavaliers' current form can still make people realize that this is not a team that is bullied.

However, criticism is still inevitable.

The Akron Beacon isn't at all like Cleveland's sports media, as they have been like a bitch on the inside and outside of LeBron James' season, constantly lashing out at the Cavaliers and his players on the large pages of their newspaper.

"While the Cavaliers are currently on a three-game losing streak and have won back-to-back games recently, it's hard to believe that such a show isn't a flash in the pan. In the Cavaliers' eleven games of the new season, with the exception of the Denver Nuggets, they have not encountered a real strong team. ”

The article, signed by James Matthews at the end, also ended with a sentence that looked more like a complaint:

Wu Dawei, a new member of the Cavaliers this season, contributed 15 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 blocks and two steals during the two-game winning streak, which is not at all on the same level as the three-game losing streak. Therefore, through the observation of more than ten games, I found a pattern, that is, whenever the Cavaliers win, Wu Dawei can always come up with a good number, but when the team loses, he disappears like an invisible man. So we have to wonder if he can only add to the team's victory, but can't save the team's defeat! But the most surprising thing is that such a flashy player dares to laugh at the great achievements that James has done in this league!

In fact, the reason why there is the last complaint is entirely because of the seeds planted by Wu Dawei in an interview in the locker room after the Pistons game.

When James Matthews's disgusting face appeared in front of him, and explained to him James's response to him: I don't know who this girl is, Wu Dawei said with a cold face: I don't need him to know.

Then this sentence was slightly modified by James Matthews, and before the start of the Heat game the next day, he turned to LeBron James: Wu Dawei said that his success does not need you to affirm.

"Success?" At this time, Wade, who was standing next to James, stood up, and he said with a smile: "I have been teammates with Wu Dawei for a year, and I have never seen him succeed......

Then LeBron James snuggled up, and the woman sneered and said, "Didn't you sue the Sùlun family that he was very diligent in running errands......
