The fourth opponent on the Warriors' Devils schedule is back-to-back games against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are currently 12-3 and second in the East.

Many experts think that this season LeBron? James is likely to claim the first MVP title of his career, and his popularity has been on the rise.

Of course, there are also people who hate James, "Grandstand Sports" columnist Andrew? Cafuri thinks James is not a perfect player and gives reasons. The first is the "crab step", many of James's violent dunks are completed after walking, and the disgusting thing is that the whole country has not raised strong doubts about such blatant steps. In the first round of the 2006 Eastern Conference playoffs, he even beat the Wizards. Then there was the Cavaliers being swept by the Spurs in the Finals, perhaps the most tedious Finals ever seen.

Of course, it cannot be denied that James is very capable of being a person and has a non-human physique.

Some people will say that although James is strong, his strength is still worse than Ben Wallace and O'Neal, right? It's a bit worse, but James is more well-rounded. You can imagine that there is such a tank, which can drive faster than ordinary sports cars, even if it is not as fast as supercars like TJ Ford and Iverson, but it is almost the same. What's even more terrifying is that this tank is also equipped with wings and can fly, which is definitely more than other tanks. It can be said that James's body is the most perverted in NBA history, and when the league allows wild gorillas to play basketball one day, they may be able to completely suppress him, not in the zoo.

The Cavaliers have also been very united this year, and James has some good helpers.

Ben Wallace, although reduced to a high-paid and incompetent representative, can at least be blocked; Szczebiak can at least shoot three points despite being reduced to a high-paid and low-performance representative; Mo? Although Williams is nicknamed "Mo Buchuan" by Jianghu people, he is not very competent in terms of organization, but at least he can break through; "Big Z" Ilgoskas, although he can only walk and play, at least he still has his height; Although Valejo can't resist people in the low position, at least he will fake falls; Delonte? Although West has a strange and unsociable personality, he still has ability, and the most fortunate thing for the coaching staff is that he gets along very well with James, the leader of the team. The two are like brothers, West went to James's house twice in three days as a guest, and even James's mother praised West for being a wonderful man......

Things have been a bit bad for the Warriors lately, Stephen? Jackson and Zach? Randolph was a little unpleasant.

Jackson was unhappy that Randolph was too slow to return to defense, and in the joint defense system, he knew how to grab rebounds, and he didn't know how to turn to defend people. Randolph was frustrated that Jackson had taken too many shots and didn't give him a low drop from the side.

If there is a locker room conflict between the two main scorers, the Warriors will definitely be finished. Fortunately, Jackson had the consciousness of being the boss and didn't say it, but just complained when he sat with Zhou Xuan on the plane. Randolph didn't have much status in the team when he first came, so he didn't dare to vent his dissatisfaction publicly, and complained to Zhou Xuan during breakfast. Therefore, Zhou Xuan is the only person who knows the inside story of the Dao, and his position is also awkward.

Jackson has just become the boss of the Warriors, he needs the ball, and it is impossible to feed his teammates the ball all the time and let Randolph shoot infinitely, so that everyone will think that Randolph is the core of the Warriors. On the defensive end, it is impossible to expect Randolph to be a blue-collar worker wholeheartedly, and even if he is willing to work hard defensively, he will not be able to become a top player.

There are also problems in the dressing room with Randolph and Biedlings. Ever since the fat man came, the days of Biedrins were gone.

It is said that the big center should be sitting under the basket, but Randolph can't prevent it, and Biedlings can only go out like a big forward to block and dismantle, which is the most thankless job, and it is not easy to grab rebounds when leaving the three-second zone, and it is easy to be fouled if the guard is not good. Biedrins' stats have started to decline. He had just signed a big contract, and he also wanted to prove himself by playing beautiful statistics, and now he looks at Randolph very unpleasantly, but he just didn't say it. But the two usually didn't communicate, and Zhou Xuan still paid attention to the signs of bad luck.

The Warriors are in desperate need of a win to ease the bad mood within the team.

Against the Cavaliers, the Warriors played well in the first quarter, and in the first two minutes of the opening game, the Warriors launched a 10-2 attack wave, shooting all 4, and Morrow and Jackson each hit three-pointers. Randolph seems to have become a "defensive expert", killing the opponent because his opponent is Ben Wallace, a god who can't even shoot free throws but can get tens of millions of dollars.

How to defend James is an important issue for all 29 teams in the league, he is too strong, he runs fast, and he jumps high. As long as the first step of the defense is not followed, it is over, and he takes a big stride and jumps to the basket for a layup or a dunk.

The best candidate for the Warriors to defend James is, of course, Margety, but he can't play, and the heavy responsibility falls on Jackson. Jackson defense doesn't like to fight for muscle, which makes it easier for James to start. Unluckily it was Biedrins, who pulled back and out to block the pick-and-roll, and he ran into James as soon as he misplaced.

Thankfully, apart from James, the Cavaliers didn't play much. The Warriors' Jackson and Randolph played well, scoring 9 and 10 points respectively to give the team a 32-25 lead.

Jackson's pick-and-roll offense can attract Ben Wallace's reinforcements, the ball passes out of the perimeter and into the inside, and Randolph can single Ilgauskas in the low post. "Big Z" is approaching the age of retirement, and his defense is getting worse and worse.

In the second quarter, the Warriors continued to dominate, with the Cavaliers' bench players playing poor outside defense and attacking mainly on the interior Vallejo and JJ Sickson, with the Warriors leading by 14 points at one point.

The turning point of the game came near the end of the second quarter, when Jackson broke down the right and made a layup, and Ben Wallace slapped him the hand. This is a bench press of 200 kilograms, a guy who can resist O'Neill, Jackson's face changed at that time, and his expression covered his wrist in pain.

The referee interrupted the game. Jackson's wrist was already a little injured, and the injury was in his right hand, which would directly affect the shot. The team doctor checked his wrist and shook his head and said he couldn't play this game. Jackson made a left-handed free throw and went off the bench.

The Warriors, who were already short of defensive players, were suddenly hit hard, and Azubuke was ordered to defend James in danger. As a result, James began to exert his power in the second half, and the game entered the pace of the Cavaliers. James made three assists in a row and then hit two three-pointers, the Warriors defended poorly, and Biedrins was also plagued by fouls, and the Cavaliers overtook the score in one fell swoop.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors still couldn't organize an effective defense, and in the last 4 minutes, the difference widened to 17 points and entered garbage time.

95-110, the Cavaliers have been winning comfortably lately, and James is spending more and more time on the bench, which also affects his scoring stats, but as long as the team can win, James won't mind that. Today was another big win as the Cavaliers got through comfortably, winning 12 of their last 13 games.

Zhou Xuan added breakthroughs and individual offenses in the second half, but he couldn't save the team, but he looked a little sticky, shooting 5 of 13, 12 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal The data is not pretty. Jackson had eight points, three rebounds and three assists in the half, Randolph had 15 points and eight rebounds, Watson came off the bench with 14 points and Azubuke and Morrow each had 11 points.

James had 23 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds, Ilgoskas had 21 points, and Morsera Williams and backup guard Daniel? Gibson scored 16 points each.

The Warriors suffered four consecutive defeats, and now the Eastern Conference can be regarded as raising eyebrows. Since Michael? Jordan retired, and the league was a pattern of strong in the West and weak in the East, and the Warriors, who had previously led the West, were cleaned up by the Eastern teams.

At the press conference, Nelson Sr. still said that the reason for the loss was poor defense. Cavaliers head coach Mike? Brown praised James' leadership skills without anything new.

Zhou Xuan attended the press conference, and the reporter focused on interviewing him. "You've been down in stats for the last few games, do you feel like you've hit the rookie wall?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I don't know if I hit the wall, but I regret that I lost this game again." Personally, I don't really care about the stats and I want the team to win. ”

The reporter asked, "Zach?" Randolph's arrival changed the Warriors' offensive and defensive system in the past, is that why your assists have dropped? ”

"No, I think the arrival of Zach has increased our offensive firepower, the biggest problem now is the defense, as long as we strengthen the defense, we can win, but unfortunately these games are not good enough."

As for how to do a good job defensively, let alone Zhou Xuan, the old Nelson can't answer, unless there is a trade, this question may plague them all season. Not only Randolph, but Biedrins is not a good pick-and-roll defender.

In the evening, the results of Jackson's examination came out, and the wrist was an old injury that had recurred, and there was nothing to do but recuperate, and the return time was to be determined. Jackson has been playing this year with an injury to the team's record, not only in his wrist, but also in the bone spur in the big toe of his left foot. It was a bone spur born last year, and he thought it didn't matter in the summer, but after this year's examination, it was found that it had passed through nerve tissue, and it needed surgery to heal, and it needed at least six weeks of recuperation after surgery.

Team Doctor and Medical Director Robert ? "I would recommend that Stephen [Jackson] have a big toe spur removal surgery while he is recovering from his wrist injury, and although he will be out for six weeks, the playoffs will not affect his form," Dr. Alber said. If it drags on like this, no one knows how much strength he can play in the playoffs. Donald (Nelson Sr.), what do you think? ”

Dr. Alber was born on May 8, 1932, and spent more than 40 seasons with the Warriors. Back in the 70s, he became the team's team doctor, and in 1999 he was appointed the team's head of medical care, a position he held for 12 years. His words carry a lot of weight in the team because he is older than Nelson Sr. and is the oldest qualified.

"I'll have to think about this, and I'll talk about it when I get back to Auckland." Old Nelson sighed, depressed. Margeti hasn't come back yet, and Jackson has gone down again. The competition in the West is too fierce, and he is not sure if Jackson will be able to make the playoffs in Jackson's long-term absence, after all, he will have to win about 50 to be safe.

—————————————— Split ———————————————

In the book review section, some people questioned the Warriors' losing streak, a team with poor defense, even strong teams, and the absence of Margety, which is too normal. Does anyone really expect the Warriors to win the league's No. 1 record......
