Mullin contacted the Cavaliers uniform team.

There will be a meeting right away to discuss whether to trade or not. One of the most popular players in the history of the Cavaliers, Ilgoskas, also attended, returning to Cleveland after retiring from football, and his role was reversed, from player to special assistant to general manager Grant.

The Cavaliers had a terrible season last season and are still having a poor record this year, finishing outside the playoffs. They have an outside core, Irving, but they lack an inside core, and Vallejo can't do it, so he can only be a blue-collar worker.

Grant thinks he could trade Jamison and draft picks for Stadamire, and Smalls has a lot of playoff experience and is much more famous than Jamison to attract fans.

"Big Z" raised objections. "He's injury-critical, and that's why the Knicks want to trade, and it's risky. I know that the team needs stars, and Jamison will be leaving at the end of this season, but I think it's good to have salary space, and there is no need to sacrifice the future for the present. Even if he joins, I don't think the Cavaliers can compete with the Heat and Knicks in the past two years, and it will be difficult to enter the Eastern Conference Finals. ”

"You had injuries at the time, didn't you get better after you controlled your playing time? With Vallejo and Thompson on the bench, I think he's fine. We trade protected draft picks, keep the top 10 picks until next season, and so on, and if they are willing to trade, we don't lose. Deputy manager Marquis said.

Except for "Big Z", everyone else agrees that "Big Z" has nothing to say, the salaries of the two sides are not equal, and they have to add some cash or add heads, which the two sides have to talk about slowly, and it is impossible to finalize it in one go. This is not a supermarket to buy groceries, but to buy people, and you must be cautious.

At the same time, the Knicks flew to Miami to challenge the Heat.

Last season, the Heat suffered a comeback, but Miami fans did not show complete hostility towards the Knicks, and no one gathered in front of the hotel to do anything like name-calling.

Ross Barkley said "James shouldn't have left the Cavaliers, Miami fans aren't real fans." There is some truth in this, the atmosphere at the Heat's home court is not too enthusiastic, and few fans feel that they can't live without the Heat.

The Heat currently have a 13-5 record. In addition to the Big Three, the bench players are also good. The Heat have a lot in common with the Knicks in that they have a lot of pitchers on the team right now.

The Heat's main lineup is still composed of veterans, and the pursuit of Battier failed, they brought in Mike Dunleavy for 9 million three years before the start of the season, and averaged 12 per game. 4 points 3. 7 rebounds and 2 assists, shooting 47 from the field. 7% and 40 three-point shooting. 6%。 This gives the Heat coaching staff some comfort. While the defense is average, Dunleavy does provide firepower on the offensive end and take the pressure off the Big Three.

The Heat's guard line is also alive, and the youngster Noris Cole is very good, he can shoot suddenly, but his organizational ability is poor, and Chalmers has a problem.

Psychologically, the Knicks have the upper hand. None of the Heat's big three want to hear the Knicks mentioned these days. Originally, they formed the Big Three, and even if some resisted, they were still strong and had a large group of loyal supporters. When they were leading 3-0, there were already many teams who thought they would become champions, but the Knicks' slaps in the face were very efficient, winning consecutive games, making them a laughing stock in history. Before the start of this game, the media propaganda slogan was "see if the Heat can end the losing streak against the Knicks". This made the Big Three very angry, and Shi Ke couldn't be humiliated!

What makes the Big Three even more jealous is that Battier has joined the Knicks. There are only two guards who can't play, but the Knicks have a high-quality veteran like Miller to play on the bench, and Beverley has played better than the Heat expected. The Knicks' interior is even more luxurious, and despite the injury to Gallinari, the Heat are not confident of winning.

One is the target of the public, the other is the expectation of the public, and the game between the two long-awaited teams is about to begin.

When the players played, the home audience also gave Zhou Xuan applause.

Kenny Smith said: "A Chinese with average physical fitness can score as much as James, and that alone deserves respect." ”

Barkley smiled: "Compared with Wade and James, Zhou Xuan's quality is indeed not worth mentioning, but with Chalmers and Colby, his physical fitness is not at a loss, and it is far better than Nash." Nash can win MVP for a second consecutive year, and it is not surprising that Zhou Xuan will win MVP again this year. ”

Smith laughed: "I think he still wants to be the scoring champion." ”

"It's a little bit harder because he's in the top three in the league in assists, and it's not often to get the scoring title and have high assists," Barkley said. ”

On the side of CCTV5, Zhang Li said: "Audience friends, today's focus battle is about to begin." In the previous game, the Mavericks defeated the Jazz 116-101, Yao Ming scored 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Yi Jianlian played 17 minutes and also scored 8 points and 5 rebounds. ”

Yu Jia said: "The Mavericks' current record is 12-8, which is not a good performance. The 16-2 Knicks game is even more interesting. Hopefully today they can make it seven wins in a row. ”

The two starters stood on the court, the Heat had serious expressions, the Knicks players relaxed a little, and only Zhou Xuan maintained his usual expressionless face.

The Knicks started Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Leonard, Stoudamire, Chandler.

The Heat five, Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh, Joel Anthony.

Chandler jumped ball and was organized by Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan just kept the ball and put Chalmers under pressure, and if he blocked and dismantled, he would face two stars, Stoudamayre and Zhou Xuan. Wade went to defend Matthews, who is averaging 14 points per game this season. 2 points is also a scoring point that cannot be ignored. He was physically strong, and Chalmers prevented him from suffering.

Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Matthews on the right side, covered with Chandler in the middle, and ran to the bottom left corner, at this time Leonard stood in the bottom corner of his most accurate right side, and Xiao Si was in the low position on the right side, and the three formed a triangle. Matthews hoisted the ball to Stadamyre and let him single out Bosh.

Xiao Si took the ball and dribbled to the middle to turn and shoot, Bosh interfered with all his might, the ball was deflected, and James entered the basket and won the backcourt rebound. This offense is to find the state of Xiao Si, if he is in good shape, the Knicks will be easier to play. Last season he had the advantage of single-handedly taking on Bosh.

The Heat attacked, James took the ball in the middle, and Leonard defended alone. The coaching staff focused on James' characteristics and put him in the starting lineup. He is faster than Battier and has a strong counter-attacking ability, especially good at defending breaks.

James saw that it was the rookie who defended himself, and chose to break through with the ball, but was blocked in the first round. Zhou Xuan told Leonard about the methods of looking at his hips and blocking people with his legs, these experiences are very important for rookies, and with his physical fitness, they will get twice the result with half the effort.

James took the ball and retreated, Leonard did not step forward, kept a distance of more than one step, and did not shoot at all. If it had been last season, James might have made three points, but this season he has taken fewer three-point shots and barely shots.

A 60% shooting percentage on a 2-pointer shot is equivalent to a 40% shooting percentage on a 3-point shot, and James couldn't shoot 40% on a 3-pointer, so he didn't shoot. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to his own efficiency. But against people like Leonard, you have to rely on jump shots. Breakthrough is what Leonard likes, and it is difficult to train Zhou Xuan in the team to pass him. With his physical gifts, he has the shadow of Marion in defense this year.

James passed to Wade, who cut in the air after covering on the side and Bosh, and Chandler switched and moved with Wade. Chandler doesn't jump, he doesn't reach out, but he's tall and like a wall, and Wade can't find a good shot and passes to Bosh. Bosh missed a distracting jumper from Matthews in the middle, and Chandler grabbed the rebound.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Leonard, ran to the bottom corner of the weak side to receive the ball, and faced Bosh. The Heat attached more importance to Zhou Xuan than Xiao Si, and Xiao Si faced Chalmers in the middle.

Zhou Xuan chose to pass the ball to the middle, Xiao Si squeezed Chalmers to get the ball, and made a quick stop to shoot the ball. 2 to 0.

The Heat attacked, James was very smart, no longer heads-up, got rid of Leonard by covering, held the ball on the right side to Chandler, dribbled under the crotch and moved a step sideways, Leonard stepped forward to wrap up, and he distributed the ball to Bosh in the middle. Xiao Si defended the interference, and Bosh passed Joel Anthony. But after this pass, Chandler returned to the basket and stood up to Anthony. Anthony had no choice but to pass the ball again. Seeing that the 24-second time was up, Wade forced a jumper and missed it, and the rebound was won by Chandler again.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan gave Chandler after blocking and dismantling to attract the defense, this time Chandler cut in the air, and missed the board shot under the interference of Joel Anthony, and he grabbed the rebound in the front court, causing Joel Anthony to foul.

Barkley said: "The Heat's interior line is really bad, Joel Anthony is too short, Chandler has a clear advantage in playing him. After arriving at the Knicks, Chandler was much more aggressive on the offensive end than he was on the Bobcats. ”

"Anthony doesn't have much to do on the offensive end, he can only score on the basket because his Knicks can wrap up James, Wade and put the defensive focus on the perimeter," Smith said. It's a big weakness and it's hard to make up for it, and I don't think the Heat have room to bring in an interior player who can shoot. ”

Chandler hit one of two free throws to make it 3-0.

Wade and Bosh blocked, jumped past Stadamyre and scored a cricket kick from the right. 3 to 2.

The two sides fought hard to defend, especially the core players were very strict, and neither Zhou Xuan nor James had good shooting opportunities. And both sides also have a center forward who can relax their defense.

The advantage of the Knicks is that Chandler is better, tall enough, and has a better ability to cut and grab rebounds after blocking and picking than Joel Anthony, and can still provide some help on the offensive end.

After playing 8 minutes, Joel Anthony only covered Matthews with a cap, and all other statistics were zero, and he was replaced by Haslem. The Knicks also replaced Chandler with Battier for a cameo at the No. 4 spot. The two are of the same height, so there is no need to worry about problems on the inside.

Under the targeted adjustment, the Knicks added a three-point shooting point, opened the air when Zhou Xuan began to heads-up, first dribbling under the crotch to change direction to score a layup by Bosh, and then relying on the cover to receive a pass from Battier, jumping into the basket to cause Haslem to foul, two free throws, the Knicks gradually took the initiative.
