8. New season
The summer of 10 years was extraordinary for the world basketball world.
LeBron James spent the summer swimming from the Creek in Cleveland to the East Coast, in the arms of Miami's hot beaches. The impact is no less than the effect of sharks swimming eastward a few years ago, and compared to O'Neal, who was over 30 years old at the time, the young LeBron James is undoubtedly more encouraging to Miami people.
After gathering Bosh, Wade and James, the lazy Miamins believe they can start a basketball dynasty that will change history without having to look for the Dragon Balls!
Miami is looking forward to the new season, and so are all basketball fans. Everyone can't wait to see what kind of terrifying behemoth such a luxurious division will become on the basketball court!
The pre-season in October has become a litmus test for people's expectations. Although James, Wade, and Bosh did not do their best in every game, a wave of eight consecutive victories is enough for people to see the prototype of a hazy dynasty.
In contrast, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who suffered heavy losses, can only be described as miserable. In eight preseason games, the Cavaliers have 6 home and 2 away games, with only 2 wins and 6 losses.
"The new Cavaliers team is obviously still adapting to the rhythm of the game without LeBron James!" In the NBA's pre-season outlook program, Ernie Johnson first shared his thoughts on the Cavaliers, one of the hottest teams at the moment.
"That's right! They are like a swarm of headless flies on the court, and they play in a haphazard manner. Byron Scott is indeed a good coach who has the ability to put together a team, but his tactical system always needs a good playmaker at the back! But obviously, Maurice Williams can't do it as well as Chris Paul and Jason Kidd! ”
Kenny Smith's views are almost identical to his.
"Oh oh ~ Kenny, to hear you say that, it seems that the Cavaliers are useless?" Buckley finally makes his debut in this book, and after contributing chrysanthemums to the author, he is finally able to transform from a villain to a messenger of justice.
"Although the Cavaliers' results are a bit disappointing." Barkley admitted truthfully, and Ernie Johnson next to him added an exclamation point to him: "Very, very disappointed!" ”
"But!" Barkley was unhappy with Ernie Johnson interrupting him, saying: "This Cavaliers team is really a brand new team! They made a big change to the roster this summer after losing LeBron James! The arrival of Ramon Sessions is definitely a great idea for the Cavaliers! ”
"This young defender is a veteran player and has a lot of talent! I believe that as long as he is given time, he will be able to improve with this team! Even a return to Scott's former glory with the Hornets and Nets is not impossible! ”
"They've got a lot of trapeze guys and good rebounders. And in these preseason games, I also found that this Cavaliers team is happy to share the ball. It's a great phenomenon and it shows how united the team is! What does it mean to be united in a team sport? Victory! ”
Barkley talked about it, fully demonstrating his demeanor.
"Whoa, whoa!" Kenny Smith on the side noticed a clue: "When did you become so concerned about the Cavaliers' game?" That's not your style, haven't you claimed to have focused on big cities for 13 years? ”
"When I learned that I was going to be with you bastards to talk about the first national broadcast of the new season, the Cavaliers vs. the Nuggets. You know, I've always been a very professional basketball commentator. Before I explain the match to the fans, I have to know what is going on both sides! ”…,
"You know what? In these preseason games, I not only found the positive side of the Cavaliers, but I also found that there is a defensive genius in their team! You can't believe it, he averaged 10 minutes per game, but was able to contribute 1.5 blocks and steals! I don't think you've heard of that name, David Wu. ”
In order to get more appearances, the shameless Barkley began to film the protagonist's sycophants, intending to leave a good impression in the hearts of book fans.
"It's a mouthful, it doesn't sound like an American. But Charles, you're right, I haven't heard of him. ”
Kenny Smith dismisses Barkley's words, and he is quickly ridiculed by Lord Jazz: "Haha, you little character who will never be in the stream, of course you can't know our great protagonist!" That's why, you'll always have to be my foil! ”
"Oh~ Looks like you're pretty confident in this defensive genius." Ernie Johnson sided with Kenny Smith because he didn't believe a player who had never even heard of his name could be a defensive genius. Especially in today's world where information is so advanced.
"Of course, he's going to surprise you guys in the opener!" Barkley believes he can't be wrong.
"Oh? Is it? Kenny Smith laughed, "Let me think about who the Cavaliers are going to play against in the opener?" ”
"Denver Nuggets!" Ernie Johnson clutched.
"Then may I ask Charles, what position is your defensive genius playing?" Smith threw the question at Barkley.
"He's a Swingman!"
"Oh~" Johnson and Smith suddenly realized together, and then ...... "This genius is going to face Carmelo Anthony!?" Hahahaha......"
"Charles, thanks for the joke!" Smith and Johnson laughed back and forth, and the camera panned to the show's host Daniel, who was sitting next to Barkley, who laughed and said, "Audience friends, this is tonight's season outlook!" Don't forget the night after tomorrow, the opening game of the NBA2010-2011 season will be broadcast live from the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. the Denver Nuggets, don't miss this feast, a super matchup between a defensive genius and an offensive genius! ”
"Haha, Daniel, your eloquence has improved a lot."
"That's amazing, Daniel!"
……
"Jumping clown." Wu Dawei turned off the TV and lay on his back on the bed, his hands behind his head. Before Smith and Johnson ridiculed him, Wu Dawei saw it all clearly from the TV.
Although the current world is an entertainment world, everyone can't escape the time when they are entertained by others, I believe that most people will not be in a good mood when they are ridiculed.
However, this also proves from the side how high the exposure of the Cavaliers will be in the first game of the new season. As said on the TV show, at that time, the world will be watching what kind of strength the regular season champions from last season can show after losing LeBron James.
But it's not so much about paying attention as it is about watching jokes. Team owner Daniel Gilbert's vow, although it was a good thing for the Cavaliers to regain the world's attention after losing LeBron James, but the role has changed from the former hegemon to the clown.
In this world, there is still a belief that the Cavaliers will win the championship first than the Heat, except for the fool, only Gilbert himself is left...... Even Wu Dawei, who is the leading actor, doesn't believe it.
In this case, the time quickly came to October 26.
After two weeks of preseason play, the NBA curtain kicked off in a spectacular match between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat. …,
The much-anticipated showdown between the old and new giants has become the focus of the world. The Celtics beat the visiting Miami by eight points at home, leaving the Cleveland area completely boiling.
Team owner Daniel Gilbert tweeted several times in quick succession, ecstatic as if he had already won the championship before the Heat.
In the flash of the Heat's loss, Gilbert seemed to have forgotten that his team would face the Denver Nuggets, last season's Northwest Division champions, tomorrow.
Perhaps his joy today will turn into frustration tomorrow, as his Cavaliers will soon be back on the same starting line as the Miamins – both starting with losses.
This is an almost unanimous view from the outside world, and even the bookmakers offer an eight-point handicap, and the Nuggets' odds are still lower than the Cavaliers......
Wu Dawei was in the excitement all day before the game, especially when his old club lost, he also had a heartfelt feeling of comfort. But the reason for his excitement is the upcoming new season.
Finally! It's finally about to officially start! With the countless sweat I have put in under the Tibbetts inhuman training in the past few months, it's time to experience the results!
PS: A shift is coming, and there will be a shift at night~~~
