Chapter 325 Nothing is absolute
Before knowing all the inside information about anything, it is basically not suitable to make judgments lightly.
In the summer of 14, the Cavaliers were lucky enough to get the No. [-] lottery again. Although not all of them, it became somewhat of an introduction for James to return to the Cavaliers.
In the last season of the Heat, James rushed into the court to beg him to return to the Cavaliers fans, Gilbert's moderating attitude, and Wade did not want to force his friend's understanding, plus Savannah Brinson's tendency towards Cleveland, etc. Many factors mixed together contributed to James' decision to return to the Cavaliers.
Players are also ordinary people. They can't just run around for honor. Everything needs to be taken into account, which is not so easy.Of course, if Wade actively keeps him, the result may be different, but life is much bigger than basketball, and Wade sees it very clearly.
On July 2014, 7, James published a long article through "Sports Illustrated", announcing his return to the place where his dream began-the Cavaliers for whom he had fought for seven seasons.Whether it is out of public relations considerations or from the heart, this time has become a homecoming trip.
On the Xuanwei Building opposite the Quicken Loans Center arena, after four years, a huge poster of James throwing chalk was posted—announcing that the little emperor returned to Cleveland.
At the beginning of last season, the Cavaliers did not go well, and there were many turbulences during the period. Fortunately, the general manager David Griffin traded JR Smith, Iman Shumpert and Timofey Mozgov. Live the rotation.In the second half, the Cavaliers exerted their strength and rushed to the second position in the Eastern Conference.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Cavaliers easily swept the Celtics, but Celtics power forward Kelly Olynyk made a dirty move, dislocated Love's shoulder, and was reimbursed for the season.
In the second round of the series, the Bulls led by Ross met the Cavaliers, and the young Windy City Rose bloomed again. However, the two fists were hard to beat and the Cavaliers led by James and Irving were unable to stop. The big score was 2-4. disuse.
In the Eastern Conference finals, the Cavaliers faced Budenholzer's all-out soldiers and the Eagles, the No.
James has reached the Finals stage for five consecutive years.
The Warriors led by Curry rushed out of the West and joined the Cavaliers led by James and Irving in the Finals.Irving suffered a knee injury in the first game. The Cavaliers lost to the Warriors in overtime and lost the first game.
After the game, the Cavaliers officially announced that Irving had a fractured left knee and needed surgery, and he will be reimbursed for the season.The Cavaliers are down to seven players who can play regularly, dubbed the "Seven Jedi" by James fans.
The Cavaliers won all of the second and third games.
Steve Kerr made a brave change, replacing Andrew Bogut with Andre Iguodala in the starting lineup for the first time with a lineup dubbed the "Five of Death."The Warriors won in three straight sets and won the final victory, successfully reaching the top last summer.
The main goal of the Cavaliers is the Warriors. They narrowly won a game at the beginning of this season, and were defeated by the Warriors by a big score in the second match. Coupled with the accumulated conflicts in the team, David Blatt became a scapegoat and was dismissed from get out of class sadly.Tyronn Lue has been promoted from a defensive assistant to a head coach, leading this team that has returned to health and is aiming to compete for a championship.
James ended the activities arranged by Nike, drove to the Quicken Loans Center Arena, and joined the team for regular training.
Owen undertook the task of playing Xu Tian in training, trying to imitate Xu Tianqiu's style, so that the team's main defenders Iman Shumpert and Matthew Dellavedova can adapt in advance and find the best defensive method .
Dellavedova and Shumpert have a positive attitude and tough physical confrontation. They put pressure on Irving as much as possible, but they achieved good results.
Coach Lu watched carefully and gave suggestions from time to time to make Dellavedova and Shumpert pay more attention to details.
The Lakers practice facility is relatively quieter.After last night's defeat, the originally lively players didn't dare to speak out, for fear that they would touch Kobe's head and be taken out for solo practice.
Xu Tian calmly carried out routine training, repeated jump shots, and enhanced his already proficient muscle memory.
Kobe finished a group of training and took the initiative to walk to Gary Vitti, and the two chatted about some transformation.
Gary Vitti said: "I think you still need to lose weight, sacrifice a little core strength, increase agility and jumping slightly, and at the same time reduce the risk of injury."
Kobe's sore shoulders are no longer a serious problem. Holding the ball in both hands, he said: "If you lose weight, your offensive ability will decline. When it comes to the real playoffs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it."
Gary Vitti looked at the training ground, and his eyes locked on Xu Tian who was immersed in shooting training.
Kobe followed Gary Vitti's gaze to the training ground.
Xu Tian's shooting posture is very standard, the overall rhythm is smooth and coherent, and the touch is quite soft. During the time when Gary Vitti and Kobe were watching him, he only missed one shot.In the absence of confrontation, the top shooter feels extremely terrifying.
Kobe shook his head.He doesn't allow himself to have no contribution, even if he has entrusted Xu Tian with his future, he doesn't want to do nothing in the playoffs.
Gary Vitti looked at the resoluteness under Kobe's calm expression, and immediately guessed the inner thoughts of his old partner, his eyes flickered, and he remained silent for a long time.
"If I want to return to the level of averaging around 20 points per game, is there a way?" Kobe's voice was very soft, but without the slightest tremor, he seemed very stable.
Gary Vitti didn't speak for a while, and then said after a while: "If you want to restore a certain level, you need to transform. You need to increase the tempo transition on the field and play more team and smart. Only in this way can the decline in athletic ability be May be covered up."
Kobe got the answer, turned to look at Xu Tian who was still taking the trouble to shoot, and asked, "Gary, do you remember what kind of player Xu Gang was when he came to the United States?"
Gary Vitti thought of the scene last summer, and replied with a smile: "I just saw Xu last year, and I saw in him the shadow of your youth. You are fearless and a bit unscrupulous. You are not afraid of anything, full of edges and corners, Always want to protect yourself with spikes."
"I'm asking about the style of play." Kobe also thought of Xu Tian who was stupefied at that time, and changed the question with a smile.
"He is used to shooting mid-range shots and tries a lot of steals. He doesn't explain his actions clearly enough and is easily fouled. In addition, he can't speak English basically, and even communication requires various tools. It is difficult to remind him how to improve. .”
"and after?"
"After the whole summer of hell-style training, he has gradually grown to the top level of the league. The original single offensive method has become an elusive kaleidoscope."
"Since Xu can complete the transformation in one summer, why can't I complete the transformation before the start of the playoffs?"
Gary Vitti knew that Kobe was leading the team to the championship when he said this last time, so he turned his head to look at Kobe with a little surprise, and he saw unusually determined eyes.
