The 76ers have not been able to recruit well, and on the other hand, the Cavaliers have made great progress in their trade recruitment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With a 19-17 record in the first 36 games of the season, the Cavaliers have a win rate of over 50 percent, and it's clear that the Cavaliers need to make a change, otherwise they won't be able to compete with the 76ers even if they have a big three.

So, with David Griffin's efforts, the Cavaliers' trades began one after another.

Because it is a reconstituted team, the Cavaliers still lack a lot of important elements, such as a big center on the inside, such as the outside shooter that LeBron James needs.

Coupled with the previous LeBron James injury, the Cavaliers suffered an embarrassing wave of 9 losses in 10 games, so change is imminent.

On January 6, after lengthy negotiations, David Griffin first announced the completion of a three-way deal for the New York Knicks and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Cavaliers sent Dionwittes, Alex Kirk and Louis Armondson as well as a future second-round pick to the Knicks' future protected first-round picks of Iman Shambaugh, J.R. Smith and the Thunder.

The Thunder sent away Lance Thomas, a future protected first-round pick, to acquire Dionwittes from the Cavaliers.

The Knicks sent J.R. Smith and Iman Shambaugh, and got a second-round pick from Lance Thomas, Alex Kirk and Louis Armondson, as well as the Cavaliers.

The deal is done, and the biggest winner is naturally the Cavaliers.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Thunder's move to trade to get Dionvites is puzzling, after all, in the Cavaliers, Dionvites's playing attitude and offensive choices have been questioned, Dionvites not only made poor shot choices, but even made a joke that LeBron James asked for the ball and he didn't give it, and was jokingly called the "dad" who is strong in his life by Chinese fans.

Therefore, from this point of view, Dionvetus, who was sent by the knight as a treasure, is actually a thorn in the strict sense.

And the Knicks, in line with the idea of cleaning up the thorn JR Smith, hitched a ride on the best 3D player Iman Shambaugh, which was also considered by many to be a huge loss.

Although JR Smith is a thorn, there is still no problem with his personal strength, a season ago he was a strong contender for the best sixth man, at this time it is only a season later, JR Smith's problem will only be a problem of attitude, there is no problem with ability, in a different environment, JR Smith can still break out.

So, in the end, the Cavaliers got a strong nerve knife JR Smith, a superb 3D Iman Shambaught, and even a first-round draft pick by sending away the thorn Dionvites, a second-round pick, and two insignificant additions, which is a perfect transfer operation.

Especially the first-round pick, which David Griffin used again two days later.

Two days later, David Griffin announced that the Cavaliers had traded Russian bears Tim Murphy Mozgov from the Nuggets for two first-round picks, so after just two trades, the Cavaliers strengthened their interior and perimeter projection issues.

On January 7, 2015, JR Smith made his Cavaliers debut, and although they eventually lost to the Rockets, JR Smith scored 27 points on 11-of-23 shooting.

Changed teams, and JR Smith became the same nerve knife JR Smith again, scoring a 27 points as soon as he broke out.

On January 9, LeBron James continued to be injured, and another new signing, Iman Shamchaomaugh, also continued to be injured, and although Timofi Mozgov also made his debut on the team, the Cavaliers still failed to win against the Warriors for the second and last time this season.

However, Mozgov performed well, scoring 9 points and 8 rebounds on 3-of-7 shooting, perfectly playing the role of the interior gate, and the Cavaliers' interior problems were solved.

Then, on January 11, LeBron James still did not return, the Cavaliers faced the Sacramento Kings, and the 76ers also faced the Pacers, who still did not have Paul George, and the result was that the 76ers narrowly defeated the Pacers 98-92 to make it seven wins in a row, while the Cavaliers lost again, they lost to the Kings 89-103.

The gap between the 76ers and the Cavaliers is gradually widening, but Cavaliers fans are no longer surprised by the loss, and they have begun to look forward to the return of LeBron James, as long as they wait for LeBron James to return, the new Cavaliers can set sail.

On January 13, the two teams played at the same time again, with the 76ers hosting the Hawks, who are currently second in the East, and the Cavaliers taking on the Suns away.

For the 76ers, this game still looks tough, after all, the Hawks have been ferocious this season, and their current 28-9 record is on par with the 28-8 76ers.

Although the Hawks have an excellent regular season record, from the perspective of strength, the 76ers are a championship-level team, and the Hawks are only Eastern Conference Finals teams at most.

The Hawks' outburst this season has benefited from the tactical maturity of Mike Budenholzer, but against the unreasonable Anxi, Mike Budenholzer's tactics are of little use.

In the face of Demarare Carroll's defense, Anxi broke out with a wave of three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter, scoring 15 points in a row, and opened the originally anxious score in one fell swoop, and then, there was no suspense in the game.

The 76ers won again, extending their winning streak to eight games, and their record improved to 29-8, 1.5 wins ahead of the Hawks and continuing to sit first in the East.

On the Cavaliers' side, LeBron James finally returned, the Big Three were all there, plus new signings JR Smith and Mozgov, the Cavaliers were almost the main force in this away game against the Suns, but the final result was a little disappointing.

At 100:107, the Cavaliers lost again, and they lost by 7 points to Jeff Hornacek's team.

Kevin Love and Kelly Irving performed badly, the only consolation is that JR Smith did spark with LeBron James, JR Smith made 8 three-pointers and scored 29 points, plus LeBron James, who scored 33 points, the two combined for 62 points, but still failed to lead the team to win.

A day later, both teams were on back-to-back games at the same time, with the 76ers taking on the Raptors back-to-back on the road, while the Cavaliers arrived in Los Angeles to take on the Lakers on the road.

However, at this time, the media did not pay much attention to the results of these two games, and more media began to hype the second matchup between the 76ers and the Cavaliers this season.

The Cavaliers beat the Lakers, the 76ers beat the Raptors, and then, the two teams will meet again.

This game will be the second meeting between the two teams this season, the last game was at the home of the 76ers, so this game was changed to the home court of the Cavaliers.

Compared with the last time against the Cavaliers, the situation before the two teams started this time has changed, the 76ers have won consecutive battles, it is already 8 consecutive wins, if they win the Raptors again, it will be 9 consecutive wins, and the Cavaliers will be the last obstacle for the 76ers to achieve 10 consecutive wins.

And the Cavaliers are the opposite, because LeBron James has been absent continuously, the Cavaliers have lost 9 out of 10 games during this time, and recently ushered in a wave of 6 consecutive defeats, which can not be more miserable, LeBron James came back in the last game or lost, it seems that the situation is still not improving, and now, Cavaliers fans can only hope that the Cavaliers beat the Lakers and improve morale a little.

The different circumstances of the two teams made the public opinion before this game also different.

"The 76ers will play with all the main force, they are fierce at the moment, and they have a good chance of winning the next game, and the Cavaliers, who are still in the run-in period, will not be the opponent of the 76ers." ESPN expert Mark Stein made the above assessment.

As for the Cavaliers, Sam Amic of the United States Today also has something to say: "Actually, the 7-point loss in the last game is not the end, the Cavaliers' state is obviously improving, the next game against the Lakers, Iman Shambaugh will also return, the Cavaliers will return to a completely healthy state, under the new lineup, they will not lose to the Lakers again, but one thing must be said is that they must not lose to the 76ers, if they lose to the 76ers again, it will be the real end." ”

Zach Lowe disagrees with Sam Amik: "I think the Cavaliers will definitely lose to the 76ers, because the Cavaliers are still grinding, they can't beat the 76ers, and now the only team in the league that can beat the 76ers with pure strength is the Golden State Warriors." ”

Zach Lowe mentioned the Warriors, so some reporters also mentioned the Warriors after looking through the 76ers' schedule: "Don't worry, the 76ers will meet the Warriors for the second time in the near future, and there will be a result between the stronger and weaker ones, and now we need to focus on the big battle between the 76ers and the Cavaliers." ”

Hearing such a voice, Zach Lowe also immediately played his role as a data emperor: "If it is the 76ers and the Cavaliers, I think that the Cavaliers at this stage are not the opponents of the 76ers, because they are still running in, LeBron James has been injured for a long time, and he also needs to find a state, so a Cavaliers who are not at the peak are definitely not the opponents of the 76ers, not to mention that the next game The Cavaliers will face the 76ers who have won consecutive games and are in good shape." ”

"For the future, I think that if the run-in is in place, the Cavaliers have a chance to compete with the 76ers, LeBron James has his own system, new signings JR Smith and Iman Shambaugh are a perfect fit for his system, and Timmurphy Mozgov on the inside will also make up for the shortcomings of LeBron James's team, at that time, the Cavaliers will be a perfect Cavaliers, as long as David Blatter can play all the roles of the Big Three, the Cavaliers will be one of the two strongest teams in the East, of course, they are not yet."

Zach Lowe's words received a lot of recognition, but his last sentence was dismissed as empty words.

Let the role of the Big Three be brought into play, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, the biggest problem of the giant team was originally the question of whether 1+1+1 can be equal to 3 or even greater than 3, and the Big Three of the Heat back then were 1+1+1 less than 3.

Therefore, many people are not optimistic that David Blatter will be able to fully exert the power of the Big Three.

On the contrary, the 76ers, who do not have too many giants, will be more powerful, because Anxi and Pau Gasol can be perfectly adapted, and the role of both can be maximized, such a team is the most powerful.

In Toronto, before the start of the away game against the Raptors, Anxi was caught by the reporter on the scene and asked a few questions, except for the first question related to the Raptors, the other two questions were related to the Cavaliers.

"Can we win the next game? Actually, I'm saying I'm just focused on the moment, but I think with the state we have at the moment, we can win all the games, the next games, the next games, and the next games. ”

"A knight's deal? I figured it out, both trades are good, and the Cavaliers will be our biggest opponents, but that's okay, we're not afraid of any opponents. ”

Two questions, one is about winning or losing in the next game, Anxi showed strong self-confidence and expressed his determination to win, and the other question, Anxi's answer was more decent, and finally showed his self-confidence.

And in the subsequent game, Anxi and the Raptors' garbage brothers spewed trash talk because of the three problems in the opening game.

Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan think that too much hype of the Cavaliers and the 76ers before the game ignores the existence of the Raptors, and they want to give Anxi a good look.

But after the game started, it was Anxi who really gave them a good look.

If Anxi wants to extend his winning streak, he needs to extend his 8-game winning streak to 9 consecutive wins, and then beat the Cavaliers for another 10-plus game winning streak.

Therefore, Anxi played very seriously in this game, and under the all-out offense, Anxi scored an 18 points in the first quarter, and the garbage brothers only scored a total of 17 points in the first quarter.

In the first half of the second quarter, Anxi didn't play, the garbage brothers took turns to play, Kyle Lowry first brushed a 9 points, and then DemardeRozan and Anxi played together, and then, Anxi exploded.

As soon as he came out in the second half of the second quarter, he directly shot three points against DeRozan's defense, made three three-pointers in a row, and successively defended DeRozan's mid-range shots, Anxi scored 9 points in a row, and it exploded all of a sudden.

In the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, Anxi finished by constantly high-ranking singles, and finally scored another 17 points in the second quarter, helping the team establish a 16-point lead at halftime.

At this time, Anxi had already scored a 35 points, and on the garbage brothers, Kyle Lowry scored 17 points and DeMar DeRozan scored 14 points, and the two combined only 31 points, which was 4 points less than Anxi's score alone.

In the third quarter, the Raptors had their last chance, but in this quarter, Anxi continued to exert his strength and scored another 15 points, and the difference was stretched to 20 points, and the game ended in the third quarter.

Anxi scored 50 points in the whole game, and the garbage brothers combined to score 48 points, which was 2 points less than Anxi's score alone.

Since Anxi's comeback from the brawl ban, Anxi's condition has been so good that it has exploded, not only scoring a five-double, but also breaking a triple-double record, and scoring another 50 points in this game.

It's not terrible to lose, but if you lose and be cut by Anxi at the same time, it will be embarrassing.
