But this season, Lefou's is different.

Played 25 minutes and punched 23 points and 12 rebounds in the third quarter, which is the data he cut against the Knicks in the opening game of the 2016-17 regular season Cavaliers, it seems that he has been working hard to prove himself throughout the offseason, Lefu averaged 22 points and 8 rebounds per game in the first five games of the regular season, he began to attack the basket frequently, he scored a total of 41 free throws in the first five games, and he hit 37 of them, it seems that the Timberwolves Lefu ushered in a new life at the Quick-loan Arena.

Love was at the peak of his form in the previous Cavaliers home game against the Trail Blazers, where he scored 34 of the Cavaliers' 46 points on 11-of-14 shooting in the first quarter, which was more than the Trail Blazers' entire 31 points.

"I don't have to show that I don't care about the stats at all, but sometimes when you're in the mood of a game, you don't feel like it's stats or records or anything, it's just the game. It was a normal game for me, no different, just running as usual and attacking on the pitch. Love said after the Cleveland Cavaliers' 137-125 victory.

His performance returned to the elite level of the league's interior, and most importantly, Love refound his position in this championship team, he began to be used by Tyronn Lue as the offensive initiator in the opening stage of the Cavaliers' game, he can use his three-point ability to open up offensive space for James and Irving, frequent attacks under the basket make his interior kill continue to increase, James has benefited a lot from the passing comparable to the quarterback in football, and the most important thing is that he has regained his self-confidence, and if he doesn't have a touch, he can create damage through strong inside play, The Cavaliers' ability to make a stunning start to the regular season is not unrelated to Love's excellent performance.

......

Lefou's strength is still there, but it's a pity that his low position in the Cavaliers has been infinitely weakened.

Owen and James already occupy 80% of the ball, leaving him mostly with scraps.

However, Lefu has no ambition and is willing to be his third master..... In the Hereafter, everyone else is gone, but he is still there.

The Cavaliers have basically no big trades this year, and the free agency market has been mediocre.

The main thing is that they are too stressed in terms of salary.

This season, the Cavaliers are leading the way in terms of salary spending.

With a total salary of 129 million, they ranked first in the league and exceeded the luxury tax line of 16 million. Since the Cavaliers have exceeded taxes for the third consecutive season, the luxury tax that applies to the penalty multiplier means that they will pay nearly $50 million in luxury tax. Counting the basic salary, this alone costs 180 million.

180 million in wages...... In other words, if you can't win the championship, the owner of the Cavaliers will really "lose blood"......

On the free market, they only signed "Birdman" Anderson.

And in order to make room for the roster to sign Anderson, the Cavaliers also completed a small trade with the 76ers? They sent Russian center Sasha Cowan to Philadelphia along with some cash? In exchange for the signing rights of Madu Abum held by the other party.

The 38-year-old Anderson has been in the NBA for 14 seasons, playing for the Nuggets, Hornets, Heat, Grizzlies and more, and has played a total of 683 regular season games so far? Playing an average of 17.8 minutes per game? He handed over a report card of 5.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.

Anderson played in 20 regular-season games for the Grizzlies last season, averaging 4.6 points and 4.5 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game? He became a free agent this summer.

The 2015-16 season was the 30-year-old's debut season in the NBA, in which he played in 25 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 3.8 minutes of playing time, 0.9 points and 1.0 rebounds.

Why was Cowan able to join the Cavaliers? Something to do with David Blatter as head coach of the Cavaliers? In the past, when Blatter was the head coach of the Russian men's basketball team, he led the team to a brilliant performance. During his tenure as the head coach of the Cavaliers, Blatter successively added Mozgov, Cowan and other Russian player operations.

But Blatter parted ways with the Cavaliers after 41 regular-season games last season, and Mozgov and Cowen's position on the team has become less secure. Mozgov left as a free agent this summer. Cowen, who is still under contract, was sent to the 76ers by the Cavaliers.

And the renewal of the old man's contract naturally does not need to be mentioned, the new contract is 3 years and 100 million US dollars.

The starting salary for this contract will be $31 million? This is also the first time in LeBron's career that he is the highest-paid player in the entire NBA league.

In the 2017-18 season, his salary will reach $33 million, which will also make him surpass Jordan as the highest-paid player in NBA history in a single season.

Except for the old man, Irving and Love's contracts have not reached the renewal time...... Or when it comes, they just don't want to renew their contract early.

However, the contract extension of another veteran, Richard Jefferson, was quite surprising, Jefferson had already announced his retirement, but then he changed his mind and chose to continue playing. And now that he is renewing his contract with the Knight, it is a logical thing. He will continue to serve as a substitute for LeBron and play the role of locker room leader for the new season.

This two-year contract is worth $5 million, which is not high, but it is much better than the veteran's base salary.

Born in 1980, Jefferson is now 36 years old and was drafted by the Rockets with the 13th pick in the first round in 2001. But Houston then traded him to the Nets, where he played for the Nets, Bucks, Spurs, Warriors, Jazz, Mavericks and Cavaliers in a 15-season career. Jefferson, who switched to the Cavaliers last season, finally realized his dream and won the championship.

In the regular season, Jefferson averaged 5.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. In the playoffs, Jefferson averaged 5.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. During the Eastern Conference Finals, Jefferson averaged 24 minutes per game, contributing 5.7 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 51.6 percent from the field, making him an important piece of the team's puzzle.

......

Cleveland Quick Loan Center Arena.

James is still the same, but Xu Xuan looked at his hair volume obviously a lot less, although the hairstyle he cut will make it difficult for people to find out how much hair he has, but if you look closely, especially from the top down, you can definitely find something amazing......

Since ancient times, bald heads have come out of big guys.

The old man is bald, and he is getting more and more powerful.

It is said that Manu is a demon knife, but what should the old man of later generations call it when he led the team to win the championship at the age of 36?

"Demon Bald ????"

Well, that doesn't seem like a good name?

So change one?

......

The fans of the quick loan center don't like Xu Xuan very much......

No way, who let Xu Xuan be the culprit who eliminated them last season?

In other words, if they lose in the finals, the Cavaliers fans may not have so much complaint, but they lose in the division finals......

I'm the Big Three, the first person in my alliance, what do you think I'm making trouble?

The Cavaliers really didn't want to lose last season...... It's a little bit inexplicable.

It can be said that I lost without knowing why...... In addition to a grudge against the players on this team, they hated the Pacers and Xu Xuan...... If you list the people who hate the most in the hearts of Kecun people, then the first must be Xu Xuan...... There is no suspense.

Curry, Durant, Popovich have to step aside......

It was Xu Xuan who killed their dreams with his own hands......

The amount of hair is a little small, but the old man's beard has grown....... I don't know what the idea is, not enough hair, beard to make up?

Well, even the first thing Xu Xuan saw was the old man's well-groomed beard, not the top of his head that he wanted to cover......

"Hey, Xu."

"Hey, James."

"How's it going?"

"It's good, we've won a lot of games, what about you?"

“......”

The relationship between the two is actually not bad...... The kind on paper.

But I have to mention that James has a high emotional intelligence, and he has a good relationship with everyone.

But there is a point.

When I was president of the players' union, Irving was vice president, but James didn't have any official position...... But on the contrary, Lao Zhan's words are very effective, no matter how he can't stop this chairman......

"James, I heard that you have invested in a new hair transplant company? How, how effective is their company's approach? ”

"......" The old man didn't want to speak.

Choked.

"Xu, you've gone bad." The old man said resentfully.

You weren't like this before, didn't you go to the west to study?

"I'm just concerned about my friend's personal life...... You think too much about James. Xu Xuan patted him on the shoulder seriously: "If you need it, you can contact me, I have a lot of home remedies in China, I can introduce them to you to try." ”

The gradual thinning of hair volume is an indescribable pain for no man......

Rao is Xiaobei can be heavy in the end, and James because of the "early discovery" and the "huge capital chain" invested every year, so he looks a little thin from the outside, but it has not yet reached the point of falling off in pieces.

Owen also coolly came over and bumped his fist with Xu Xuan - now there is no doubt that the No. 1 point guard in the East has no communication.

There were a lot of fans and stars at the scene today, including Zhan Huang's iron fan "diva" Rihanna, and now she is cheering for Zhan Huang who sprinkled magnesium powder with excitement on her face......

Margo, how come I don't have such a diva fan?

It seems to feel pretty cool...... The most important thing is that you can choose from a variety of poses for free......

The Cavaliers' current record is only 18-6, which is far worse than the Lakers, but it can't stop the enthusiastic fans in the field.

At the very least, Xu Xuan had heard no less than 10,000 or 20,000 people clamoring for the Lakers to stand up and come in......

"Beep!"

The warm-up is over, and the game is about to begin.

The three referees began to clear the field.

The list of starters from both sides was shown on the big screen at the scene.

Playing the Cavaliers Frank naturally can't play the same as the last game against the 76ers, putting on a new set of starters, and today is the regular starting lineup of Xu Xuan, Russell, Ingram, Randle and Yi Jianlian.

On the Cavaliers' side, Irving, JR, James, Love and TT are also the main lineup.

Coach Lu is ambitious this season, nothing else, Old Lu wants to be the first in the East this season, or even the first in the regular season...... However, the current momentum of the Lakers and Warriors is too strong, and his small goal is to be the first in the East.

So, every regular season game, the Cavaliers want to win!

What does Coach Lu say, although the tactical arrangement is like "playing", but this guy is smart.

Last season, although the Cavaliers failed to qualify from the East, the outside world praised Coach Lue.

Especially in the opening stage, after leading the Cavaliers to a 9-1 all-time best start, it pushed the evaluation of Ty Renlu to a new level. What people are talking about is what kind of historic coach Tyronn Lue can compete with in the future.

However, there is no smooth sailing, there has never been a winning general in competitive sports, and after a 13-2 start, the team suffered three consecutive defeats, although the Cavaliers have maintained a top-five record in the league since then, but compared to the stability of the Lakers, Spurs and Warriors, the Cavaliers are relying more on James' personal ability to win many times.

In the time when James was off the court, the team instantly changed from a top supercar to a classic car in 1980: this season, the Cavaliers, as a famous three-point team in the league, relied on the most relied on tactics to ambush shooters outside the three-point line, and then through James to break through the basket to attract the bag and choose the opportunity to divide the ball outside, or from the inside line at the top of the arc for James to block and dismantle, James feints to attack the basket and then splits the ball down to complete the basket attack, which are the two attack modes with the highest success rate of the Cavaliers this season, And once James is gone, these two tactics will not be able to be carried out at all.

Faced with this situation, Tyronn Lue did not find a good solution, and more often he could only give the ball to Owen to rely on his individual ability to play individual singles.

Although the Lakers also rely on Xu Xuan's personal ability, the Lakers and the Cavaliers lineup are different, the Lakers are a single-core team and must rely on Xu Xuan, while the Cavaliers are a Big Three team, in addition to James, there are two star players.

......

At the beginning of the game, the first ball was attacked by the Cavaliers who grabbed the ball.

The first attack is simple.

Irving flanks the ball across half court.

After James used the block at the top of the arc, he received a pass from Irving and made a "tank-like" breakthrough, directly crushing Russell, who had switched defenses, to complete the score.

Handicap "2+1".

In the commentary seat, every time Kenny Smith saw this scene, he sighed: "Seriously, it's hard for you to imagine that this old guy is now 32 years old." ”

The golden age of players is between 26 and 30 years old, and 32 years old has already started to decline.

But James was so ruthless, crushing Russell to complete the score.

0 to 2.

Xu Xuan gestured to his teammates, and Yi Jian lifted it up step by step.

JR, who was defending Xu Xuan, was still struggling, but at the moment when he moved sideways, Xu Xuan had already completed his shot-

A three-point jumper from a step back - comes with a picturesque BGM.

The ball arced in a beautiful arc in the air—

"Huh!"

Direct hollow access to the net.

Three-point hit.

3 to 2.

It's an unreasonable three-pointer - a cannon!
