The Timberwolves are the helpers that the emperor is looking forward to, and with Irving, can the Cavaliers' new Big Three win the championship in the future? ESPN launched an investigation on this among experts, and there were only 38. 2% of pundits believe James can win the championship with the Cavaliers.

James, who returned to the Cavaliers, became unusually low-key and did not shout championship slogans. "It's going to be a long process," he said. But I'll try. ”

In James' expectations, maybe the Cavaliers won't win a championship in the next two seasons. The main reason is, of course, Zhou Xuan and the Knicks. The Knicks kept the previous core, as well as reinforcements.

When he came out, James didn't sprinkle magnesium powder in front of the audience, which was different from what people expected.

Zhou Xuan smiled secretly in his heart: I'm afraid that this loss won't look good, and I won't even dare to put on a show? The more low-key you are, the more you prove that you are not confident.

In the last game, Zhou Xuan didn't shoot much, and he shot a few more three-pointers and mid-range shots to try his feel during the warm-up. He knows the Cavaliers' weaknesses, he is slow to switch defenses inside, and if his teammates can't open up, he tries to misplace and score.

Knicks starters: Zhou Xuan, Leonard, Parsons, Bosh, Jefferson.

Cavaliers starters: Irving, Waiters, James, Love, Vallejo.

Bosh won with a jumper, and the Knicks attacked first.

Bosh blocked in the middle to help Zhou Xuan get rid of Irving, and Jefferson covered Parsons on the left side to help him get rid of James and run to the right.

The Knicks easily formed a trio of misalignments, Zhou Xuan played Lefou, Bosh vs. Irving, Parsons vs. Vallejo. Parsons ran to 60 degrees on the right side, Zhou Xuan took a step and turned his head to look at the left, passed the ball from behind his left hand to Parsons, and then took a big step sideways.

This seemingly unremarkable step has had an unexpected effect. He attracted Lefu to move sideways, and almost collided with Valejo, who was chasing him, slowing down the latter's already slow speed.

Parsons took the ball and moved sideways and scored on a 70-degree three-point jumper! 3 to 0.

Barkley shouted: "It's Parsons' three-game again, the Knicks are too skilled in this counter-running coordination, last season it was Matthews who caught and shot by covering, the Knicks left Matthews, and there are still people who can complete this task." ”

Kenny Smith said: "Defensively, Leonard is in the center. ”

James likes to play at the top of the arc, and the Knicks are very effective at using Leonard to defend him, at least making it difficult for James to break through. Parsons, Zhou Xuan, one left and one right.

Lefu stood on the side and waited for the opportunity, from this point it can be seen that the knight's tactics are immature, and he actually doesn't block and dismantle!

Owen relied on Vallejo to cover the run, James passed the ball to the right for Owen, and Bosh changed the defense quickly and had no good shots.

Zhou Xuan chased after Owen and let Valejo go. Owen knew that the Brazilian actor's shooting ability was average, and passed the ball to Love. Jefferson followed Love to defend the three-pointer and didn't miss the position. The speed of the two strong men is about the same, if Lefu does not play the block, it is not a good choice to directly control the ball and break through Jefferson, even if it really passes, others can retract the basket.

Lefu leaned back, turned around and taught James, Bosh and Leonard both went to the basket, James saw that the time was almost up, forced a shot, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Bosh grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and passed to Parsons, who made a long pass to Zhou Xuan. He stepped to the right before winning the ball from the three-point line in the frontcourt, and then took a step to the left, and Europe stepped past Irving and scored with a basketball with his left hand. 5 to 0. When he returned to defense, Zhou Xuan gave Parsons a thumbs up.

Owen has a good body, but his defense has always been very loose, and the Cavaliers' overall defense has always been criticized, and it is very difficult for him to defend Zhou Xuan from fast attack.

The Cavaliers attacked, James took the ball in the middle and forced a breakthrough, and was caught by Bosh in the low post, the ball passed out of the periphery, and after two reverses, Zhou Xuan changed the defense in place and interfered with Irving's jump shot. Vallejo grabbed the rebound in the front court and gave it to the perimeter Lefou. Parsons rotated into place again and interfered with a successful three-point shot.

This time, the rebound was grabbed by Jefferson. In the Knicks positional battle, after Zhou Xuan and Bosh blocked and dismantled, Lefu changed defenses.

Coach Blatter is not very familiar with the number of roads in the NBA, and the arrangement of the lineup depends on the fame. Lefou's change of guard to break through is a tragedy, and he doesn't realize it at all. Zhou Xuan shook out of the space with one acceleration, and made a 45-degree emergency stop jump shot, but he didn't grasp the power ball to pop up.

James grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a fast break, a long pass to Waiters, who received the ball to get rid of Parsons and scored a layup. 5 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, both inside lines were pulled to the perimeter, Leonard cut in the air, Parsons hoisted the ball to him in the low post to hit Waiters, turned around and Vallejo made up for the defense, the interference was successful, Leonard threw a one-handed shot and missed, and Love won the backcourt rebound.

The Cavaliers counterattacked again, and this time James also went down quickly, taking the ball in the front court and distributing it to Irving. Owen received the ball and grabbed a three-point shot, dodging Zhou Xuan's block and hit. 5 to 5.

The Knicks attacked, Irving pressed in the frontcourt, and Bosh gave Zhou Xuan to cover in the backcourt. Zhou Xuan brought it to the frontcourt, dribbled the ball under his hip continuously, and observed the running position of his teammates with the peripheral vision of his eyes. Jefferson gave Leonard an off-ball cover and cut inside, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball to the left.

Leonard received the ball with a 60-degree pull-up jump shot and scored on a mid-range shot. Love didn't come out again, and went back to the inside with Jefferson. Wetters is only 193CM tall when he wears shoes, and he can't even seal his eyes after being blocked. 7 to 5, Zhou Xuan's second assist.

The Cavaliers attacked, James asked for the ball on the right side, turned around and swayed a little, shot in the middle, and scored in the face of Leonard's interference. 7 to 7.

The Knicks attacked, Bosh went to the bottom corner of the right side, Zhou Xuan cooperated with Jefferson in the middle to block and dismantle, and the attack that the Cavaliers were more afraid of came.

The players all pulled away, Lefu was forced to change defenses, Zhou Xuan got rid of Owen and immediately pulled the ball up, jumped and Lefu opened the distance, picked up the basket with his right hand, dodged the block on the high board, and the ball fell into the basket. 9 to 7. Zhou Xuan's personal 4th point.

The Cavaliers attacked, Leffle pulled to the perimeter to cover his teammates without the ball, and it was James who was in charge of organizing in the middle, and he saw the right time to pass to Waiters, who missed a pull-up jump shot from inside the three-point line, and Jefferson grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

Vitesse's shooting has been shaky, and his shooting percentage was not high last season, he just dared to shoot.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan passed Parsons' jumper and missed, and James grabbed the rebound. After a few rounds of being shot by the opponent from the outside, this time Lefu went out to interfere with the shot, and once he got out, it was impossible to grab the inside rebound, unless he would move forward.

James grabbed the rebound and threw it to the frontcourt, Waiters received the ball and singled out Parsons, the shot was missed, and Parsons turned and took the rebound.

Owen was a little dissatisfied with this ball, just in the opening Waiters shot more times than him, and missed in a row, and played too quickly.

James and Zhou Xuan have a bit of similarity, passing does not look at the fame of teammates, only depends on the position and opportunity, and passes when the opportunity comes out. He thinks that it is advantageous to play fast Waiters, but it is not easy to play in the positional battle, and he knows very well that Bosh has a strong ability to change defenders.

The scores of the two sides alternately rise, and the weaknesses are very similar, there is a strong man who is not good at defending breakthroughs, and the offense is strong and the defense is weak. The advantages are the same, there are superstars, there are three-point shots, and star power forwards who can pull away.

In the last attack of the first quarter, Zhou Xuan didn't wait for Lefu to come out after blocking and dismantling, and made a horizontal stop jump shot, and stepped on the three-point line on the right side, which was counted as two points. This ball seems unreasonable, but it is actually more certain, because it can be calmly shot without anyone interfering.

The Knicks led 30-27.

Zhou Xuan scored 8 points and 5 assists in a single quarter. The best person in the Cavaliers table is James, with 6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, very well-rounded. Lefu was not so good, shooting 1 of 4 and scoring only 2 points and 3 rebounds. That one is still a rebound in the front court and a second offense. Irving scored five points and dished out just one assist.

In the second quarter, both sides sent substitutes, and the score continued to be scorching.

TNT Barkley said: "This season may be very frustrating for Irving and Love, who have to sacrifice their numbers and change their style and habit of playing to match James, just like Wade and Bosh did with the Heat. Judging from the first quarter, James still used the style of play he was most familiar with, arc top organization, heads-up, and passing. The other two giants are different. In the first two years, Irving had absolute possession of the ball in the team, and he could break through the ball after blocking and dismantling, and shoot unlimitedly. It's the same with Lefou, the Timberwolves' tactics are all around him, Rubio can't shoot after blocking, the offense is poor, the ball is generally passed to Lefou, so that he can attack in a misplaced position, and almost every offense has to pass through his hand first. Now he, like Bosh, can only wait for opportunities on the periphery, instead of creating opportunities himself. ”

"They have to adjust," Smith said. Of course, there is another way, that is, James, like Zhou Xuan last season, personally reduces shots and focuses on assists, only ensuring efficiency and having a good chance to shoot again. Zhou Xuan maximized his teammates, and the Knicks all played their strengths, and they were more like giants. But would James do that? ”

Barkley smiled: "He just can't do it if he wants to, no one can imitate Zhou Xuan's way of playing, he must have superhuman passing skills and passing awareness, if it was so easy, no one would have averaged 15+ assists per game before." Of course, there are also advantages to being teammates with James, role players are more relaxed, James himself likes to take on a lot of tasks, he can do it in terms of organization, rebounding, and scoring, and everyone else just needs to watch and pull away from opportunities. ”

Smith asked, "Which team do you think will win today?" ”

"The Cavaliers cooperate too little, and they can't win the Knicks led by Zhou Xuan with the individual ability of the stars." Barkley said dryly.

After the Heat formed the Big Three, more and more people asked a question - is James really selfless?

Could it be that the so-called selflessness is to grab Bosh's backcourt board? Back then, Bosh was a 20+10 star, not the current Bo Yiban, can't James make his teammates better? Why did James's numbers change little, while Bosh and Wade declined across the board, making their teammates better, and what's good?

Sacrificing a few jù is something that Love and Owen have to do, because James won't do it. I believe that after this season, there will be more doubts about James's "selflessness".
