After a nine-game winning streak, the Cavaliers have a three-day break before they can continue their regular season campaign. siluke.com The current Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei are in the limelight, and people are also full of confidence in their upcoming 10th game of the regular season.

It's just because the opponent in this tenth game is a Detroit Pistons in the twilight of the day. Pistons General Manager Joe. Dumas has been a complete brain-dead in the last two seasons, bent on cultivating a hopeless Rodney. Starkey didn't say anything, and he also recently signed two junk contracts. Rodney. Starkey, "No Eyebrows" Charlie. Virenois and Ben. Gordon's core lineup has given the Pistons a 2-8 record this season, and they are a strong contender for the Eastern Conference leader......

Just as people are starting to look more and more optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, people are quite pessimistic about the Detroit Pistons with salary space locked up, which is one of the reasons why people are so confident that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win their tenth straight game this season.

In the same way, people have not only been unconfident in the Detroit Pistons who are heading to the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road, but also in the Orlando Magic, who reached the Eastern Conference semifinals last season.

The Magic lost the game again the day before the Cavaliers-Pistons game began, losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves from the West, and now their record has dropped to 5-6. It has been surpassed by the eighth-ranked New York Knicks, and is currently tied with the Philadelphia 76ers for eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

And in the eyes of many, this is not the lowest point for the Orlando Magic, their current wave of 2 consecutive defeats makes many people feel that even if they finish eighth in the Eastern Conference, they are about to die!

Recently, there has been another scandal of infighting within the team in Orlando, and it seems that head coach Stan Brown. Van Gundy with the core of the team, Dwight. Howard's contradictions are irreconcilable.

Stan. Van Gundy has been coaching the Orlando Magic for several years, and the tactics have been largely constant. Resolutely implement the core tactics of one person grabbing rebounds and four people shooting. This tactic did help the Orlando Magic reach the Finals, but in recent years it has become a bit lacking.

And this season, Dwight. Howard hasn't been in great form since the start of the game, at least compared to the past. His appearance is a little inferior. As of now, Dwight. Howard has averaged 43 minutes per game in 11 games with the Orlando Magic, the league's most minutes played, but the number is down slightly from last season.

Howard is averaging 18 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks per game. Even if you look at the current number of center players in the league, it is also one of the top number of center players, but that is only because of the extreme lack of high-quality big men in the league. Howard's numbers last season were definitely more than a notch.

Dwight. Howard averaged 21 points and 14 rebounds per game last season! This season, the average points and rebounds per game are down by three points and three rebounds respectively.

Howard's poor form represents a decline in his dominance and deterrence in the paint district. This directly affects Stan. Tactics that Van Gundy admired. No more Dwight. Howard's inside rebounding with the inside barrier is guaranteed. Naturally, the Orlando Magic's shooting opportunities are decreasing day by day!

That's why since the start of the new season, the Orlando Magic have only won five of their 11 games!

Dwight. Howard's only table xiàn, naturally was aroused by head coach Stan. Van Gundy was not satisfied, so of course Van Gundy would also talk to Howard "heart-to-heart". But the two have always been at odds, and Howard is increasingly dissatisfied with the team. Not to mention the heart of Stan. Van Gundy was even a little disgusted. Van Gundy was "talking" to Howard at this time, but it didn't happen to hit the muzzle. The two of them disagreed, and they fought when they couldn't say anything.

That conversation naturally ended unhappily, in Howard's opinion. Stan. Van Gundy's "heart-to-heart" words to himself are nothing more than reprimanding himself for his incompetence! This annoyed Howard, who only learned from Stan. Since Van Gundy joined the Magic, Howard has felt that he has never been the No. 1 core on the offensive end, but has mostly done some blue-collar hard work.

Previously, because of his qualifications, Dwight. Howard can naturally be patient, but as he has gradually become a popular signature star in the league in recent years, Dwight has become a popular star in the league. Howard naturally became angry.

The respect he wants is not just what the media says about the Orlando Magic as his team, but the respect he has for tactics!

Naturally, this "heart-to-heart talk" between the two people was extremely unpleasant, and they even quarreled over it. Of course, the top management of the Orlando Magic team tried their best to cover up such a scandal, but the team was mixed with dragons and snakes, and it was difficult to hide such a scandal, and the news spread throughout the league.

At this time, the Orlando Magic team executives still had a hint of wanting to ease the relationship between the two, and after their efforts came to naught, they began to think of other ways.

Since there is no way to ease up, it is natural that these two people can only be separated, and if they continue to partner like this, no one knows what will happen in the end. But at this time, the team's top management also made some mistakes, whether to fire Dwight. Howard or Stan. Van Gundy, it was like a multiple-choice question in front of them.

Logically speaking, in basketball, the role of a superstar is obviously not comparable to that of a head coach. Whether it's on or off the field, it's clear that superstars can bring higher benefits to the team. In the league of basketball, the real influence can surpass that of the head coach of the players. You can probably count it on one hand.

And Stan. Van Gundy was obviously not on the list, and it would have been a good multiple-choice question. However, there are still some variables at this time, and the variable is that in the last year or two, Dwight. Howard's increasingly deteriorating relationship with the Orlando Magic appears to have been following LeBron Brown's relationship with the Orlando Magic last season. After James left Miami to huddle Wade and Bosh, Dwight left Miami to huddle with Wade and Bosh. Howard also began to complain about the lack of helpers, and the team's increasingly weak strength and ranking.

And this season, Dwight. Howard's own state has also been affected by some of the old injuries in the past. Over the past few years, Dwight. Howard has always been the league's premier center. With Yao Ming gradually withdrawing from the game due to injury, it is almost impossible to find Dwight in the league anymore. Howard's opponents.

And in the last year or two, I was able to work with Dwight. Howard competed on the inside, but gradually increased. Dwight. Howard is no longer as invincible as he once was.

Plus head coach Stan. Van Gundy has also been on the Magic team for a few days. His tactics have also gradually become popular with the Orlando Magic, and the players have become accustomed to Stan. Van Gundy's tactics and on-the-spot command style.

So, the Orlando Magic's top brass came up with such an idea.

January 16 is the day when the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Detroit Pistons, although the Cavaliers will usher in the game on the night of the 16th, but at 4 o'clock on this day, Wu Dawei still got up from the bed as usual and went to the training hall to train.

When he arrived at the training gym, he found Danny. Green was already waiting for him on his scooter. For this "classmate" who entered the alliance at the same time as himself, but has not yet mixed up some of tomorrow's "classmates". Wu Dawei's relationship with him is getting better and better.

After all, we train together every day. Even strangers will become familiar with each other. It's like Wu Dawei and Beasley's two goods, due to the separation of the two places, no matter how good the relationship was, it will be more or less divided. It's never like it was when the two first separated. There are often phone calls to and fro chatting with each other and farting.

"Hey!" Wu Dawei got out of the car and walked straight up to Danny. Green said hello, glanced at his little electric donkey, and said, "I didn't expect you to run so fast on two wheels!" ”

"That's it!" Green laughed out loud when he heard this. He patted the donkey seat and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." Then I'll drive you back......"

"This mention yì is good!" Wu Dawei hugged Danny. Green's shoulder, said, "Then you can give me another $500,000!" ”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, and then walked into the training hall together. There have been some times when they have been training together, and the relationship between Wu Dawei and Green is naturally a lot closer, and these jokes are often teasing each other.

Speaking of which, Wu Dawei still admires Green for being able to get up so early every day to train with himself. You must know that the nightlife of professional players is extremely rich, and the people who can enter this league are basically high-income people in the United States, and most of them are in their 20s, which can be described as young and golden, and such men are naturally treasures in the eyes of women.

Almost every professional player is surrounded by Yingying Yanyan, and to be able to be strict with himself in such a life, in addition to requiring high self-discipline, is to have a determination to really want to go up! This is also the reason why, no matter where you are, there is always a distinction between high and low status.

Just as Green admires Wu Dawei's experience, Wu Dawei also admires Green for having the same willpower as himself...... It's a bit like a boast to say this, but it's also true~

The two walked into the training hall side by side, changed their clothes, and began today's training. Wu Dawei's current focus on training is still his own shooting touch, since the start of the new season, Wu Dawei has tasted a lot of sweetness in projection.

Naturally, the more sweet he is, the more he must strengthen his practice in this area. In addition to the three-point shot, Wu Dawei is currently focusing on his ability to shoot in a pull-up jumper. As he became more and more terrifying in the new season, Wu Dawei found that his opportunities to shoot in the open position became less and less.

The importance of various teams to him is not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end, Wu Dawei, as the league's leading scorer, has to impress everyone with an average of 31 points per game, which has attracted considerable attention.

Therefore, Wu Dawei found that not only did he have fewer and fewer opportunities to shoot in the open position, but he also often encountered the opponent's bag! This is a situation that Wu Dawei has never encountered last season, and the pull-up jump shot has solved a lot of problems for Wu Dawei.

This kind of shot under the opponent's surprise can always make it difficult for the opponent to react and catch the opponent off guard! At the same time, the difficulty of the pull-up jump shot is also greater than the usual shot, and mastering the strength and adjusting the feeling of the shot in the fastest time are all necessary for the stop-up jump shot.

The so-called practice makes perfect, Wu Dawei had to practice desperately.

Like David Wu, Danny. Green focuses on his projection skills. And in the repeated comparisons with Wu Dawei, Danny. Green's projection ability is not much worse than Wu Dawei's. This also made Wu Dawei a little aggrieved for Green, how could he find it difficult to get even a minute of playing time with such a method.

Green signed a one-year contract with the Cavaliers, which means that if he doesn't have any good performances and opportunities in the year, it is very likely that this will be the last contract of his NBA career.

If the Cavaliers don't give him a chance to play or renew his contract, then imagine what team would give an unfamiliar player a chance who basically hasn't shown himself in the game?

The two men practiced until 8 o'clock in the morning, when Cleveland Cavaliers players came to the training gym one after another. Today is game day, and the Cleveland Cavaliers must have a training session in the morning, but the team's general manager, Dan, came to the training hall today. Mr. Ferry.

In the beginning he was just in a relationship with head coach Byron. Scott discussed something, and then Dan. Ferry in with Byron. After Scott finished speaking, Wu Dawei, who was training on the court, was called aside.

Then the general manager of the team, Dan. Mr. Ferry was on the sidelines and said a piece of news to Wu Dawei that made him feel ecstatic!
