Chapter 259: 5 wins and 1 loss

After the game against the Lakers, the Cavaliers' next game is on the 16th, and they have a few days off to play the Mavericks in the next game away from home against last season's championship.

The Mavericks are in full swing at this time, and after winning the championship for the first time, they have won all four games in the preseason, and the next game is easy for them, and the Cavaliers are nothing more than a restructured veteran combination in their eyes, except for Howard, of course.

When they were asked how they felt about this year's No. 1 show, Stevenson, who was doing well in the finals, waved his hand and said, "A guy with good bounce." And that's it.

Huang Xiang didn't say anything about the opponent's contempt, for him, defeating the opponent in the game is the king.

Huang Xiang has been soaking in his father's hotel for a few days of rest, and with the rise of Huang Xiang's fame, the business of the hotel has become more and more prosperous recently, and the income of the day reaches more than 10,000 US dollars.

Ouyang Xiang was also surprised to integrate into the life of the United States at this time, Ouyang Xiang, who had experience in American campus life, was very uninterested in American style, and after the school slowly spread the relationship between her and Huang Xiang, Ouyang Xiang won the title of "Oriental School Flower".

The business is getting better and better, the girlfriend is around, the team's record is getting better and better, how can such a life be cool.

After a few days of break, the plane drove directly to Dallas, and the game was also watched by a lot of people, although it was just a preseason game, but fans who had been away from the NBA for a few months still sold out the Mavericks' home stadium before the start day.

Before the summer league, Chandler of the Mavericks was also a target for the Cavaliers, but when Howard was in their hands, the Cavaliers management rationally put an end to this idea, you know, the monster Howard is the top existence in the NBA at this time.

In the last game against the Lakers, Huang Xiang and Howard were worthy of the title of their core, the two teamed up to score 61 points, Huang Xiang personally 36 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 blocks and 4 steals, and the gorgeous data pressed Kobe's 31 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds to death.

And Howard, in the hands of the Lakers twin towers, got 25 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists, you know, Bynum and Gasol only got 14 rebounds in the last game, which means that Howard's energy is far stronger than the two, and it is the wisest decision that the Cavaliers management did not exchange him for the Lakers.

At this time, the Cavaliers can be said to be perfect, and West, another big man on the inside, was also an important offensive responsibility during the Hornets period, and West scored 13 points and 8 rebounds in the first game of the Cavaliers.

On the outside, in addition to Huang Xiang, Jones and Iverson have performed very well, even if Petrus and Carter, who came off the bench, have done their duty, perfect lineup, perfect statistics, and perfect results.

For Scott, the most important thing to improve at this time is to slowly release Huang Xiang's offensive power, for a rookie, it is unfair for him not to score more than 30 points per game, and similarly, it is even more unfair to his body.

So in this game with the Mavericks, Scott's arrangement is to run more, Huang Xiang try to shoot as little as possible, and other players to shoot more, but to seize the opportunity.

The game on the 16th came as scheduled, and both sides were full of the strongest lineups, the Mavericks Kidd, Terry, Marion, Nowitzki, and Chandler.

The Cavaliers are still the old lineup, Iverson, Huang Xiang, Jones, West, Howard.

At the beginning of the game, Howard gave the racket to Jones, who handed the ball to Huang Xiang, who took half the court and then handed it to Iverson, who assisted West for a layup.

Kidd, a veteran in his 40s who helped the Mavericks win a championship last year, is still a member of the top presence, and he assists Nowitzki for a three-pointer when he turns around.

In fact, Huang Xiang is very headache for Nowitzki to shoot three points, a big forward, or even a person who plays the No. 5 center, always runs outside to throw three points, such a freak is really rare.

In the opening game, the Cavaliers started from the inside, and Huang Xiang and Iverson all sent shells to the inside, and Howard and West combined for 16 points in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers 25:27 Mavericks, really in response to the coach's arrangement, Huang Xiang did not score a point in the first quarter.

The game started on time in the second quarter, and Huang Xiang's performance in the first quarter was scolded by Scott, yes, and he was scolded severely.

Not scoring a point is not to say that Huang Xiang didn't shoot, but this guy didn't shoot a single shot, Huang Xiang made zero shots in the first quarter, and only got 4 assists and 2 blocks.

For Huang Xiang, Scott's order is not to let you score, but not to score like crazy, and return to normal mode in the second quarter.

Huang Xiang, who got the order, came back with a three-point shot in the second quarter, and the accurate three-point jumper reminded people of Ray Allen's shadow, and the perfection of the posture made people think directly of Maddie, the handsome three-point move.

In the second quarter, under the leadership of Huang Xiang, the Cavaliers slowly pulled the score away, and Terry, who performed well in the finals, slowly muted in front of Huang Xiang today, and the end of the game was over, this guy only scored 5 points, while Huang Xiang scored 12 points in a single quarter.

In the second half, the Cavaliers pulled the score away even more at the Mavericks' home court, and the defending champions may have rested too well during the holidays, and none of them felt very good, so the Cavaliers also got the opportunity to frantically plunder each other's scores.

Until the end of the game, the Cavaliers' bench was also quite hot, and in the end, the Cavaliers defeated the defending champion 99-76, making the Cavaliers' rise even more convincing.

The defeat of the Mavericks has made many people understand one thing, when people's wishes are achieved, the motivation to fight for it will be weakened a lot, and it can be seen from this game that whether it is Nowitzki or Terry, or Marion, they are not very in shape.

After this game, the Cavaliers will play the Bulls at home on the 19th, with the Bulls of Rose and Boozer.

When the Cavaliers return to Cleveland, they will be greeted by thousands of crazy fans, who have won over the defending champion Mavericks, defeated the runner-up Heat, and this year's Cavaliers, they are quite expected.

During the rare break, Huang Xiang and Iverson Carter and others came to flyHX to continue to fulfill Scott's agreement, of course, the main thing is that these guys like Chinese food, and the team pays for it.

After a few days of rest, the No. 19 ushered in the final preseason game against the incoming Chicago Bulls.

The figure of Huang's father and Huang's mother on the sidelines of this game was frequently close-up by the camera, after all, they are also celebrities in Cleveland.

The conversation between Huang Xiang and the second elder before the game also indirectly told people the relationship between the second elder and Huang Xiang, okay, the parents of the savior of the Cavaliers, of course, have been adored and respected by the Cavaliers fans.

At the beginning of the game, Huang Xiang scored a three-pointer in front of his parents, and the first shot was played outside, which also aroused Rose's fighting spirit.

Rose responded to Huang Xiang with a three-point shot, but he didn't score, the rebound was won by the Cavaliers, and it was handed over to Iverson Everyone hit a shot in the half, the opening 5:0, not a big gap, but the Cavaliers fans were comfortable watching it.

Rose didn't get into the groove until 3 minutes and 45 seconds in the first quarter, received Boozer's pass and hit a three-point shot, and then rushed into the inside to dunk and score, showing his fangs Rose aroused Huang Xiang's fighting spirit, Huang Xiang assisted Jones to hit a three-point shot, and then assisted Iverson to hit a shot, and the two sides made each other's killing moves to start their game time.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers 33:24 Bulls, the Cavaliers' outside firepower was fierce today, and they hit 7 three-pointers.

Before the start of the second quarter, Scott rearranged his tactics and replaced Williams and Gibson.

After returning to the game, both sides still showed their ability to see, both teams are considered strong teams in the East at this time, and they will definitely compete for the position of the Eastern champion together in the future, so they both want to find out the strength of their opponents at this time.

In this quarter, Boozer opened the situation for the Bulls first, received the ball and turned around and dunked at the same time causing Williams to foul, but fortunately, the ball did not go in.

The rebound was won by Huang Xiang, who quickly led the half-court layup and hit it, and the Cavaliers still maintained a fast offensive rhythm next.

This tactic is specially for these young and multi-mile players, and the tactics studied by Huang Xiang and Scott have a very loud name: run and bomb.

This is what Scott is going to do, the last preseason game, to show this tactic and let the rest of the league take a good look, the Cavaliers are now applied to different people, there are a lot of tactics.

At halftime, the Cavaliers played a perfect first half, 55-41, leading their opponents by 14 points.

In the second half, Howard led the others into another tactical mode, the inside-based Princeton tactic.

Warcraft is very accustomed to this kind of interior tactics, of course, this is a tactic improved by Scott, an interior tactic specially prepared for Howard, Warcraft began to go crazy in the second half, frequently winning interior offense, and the defense is also very deterrent, destroying the Bulls center Noah's offense twice in a row, and the Cavaliers finally extended the large double-digit advantage to the fourth quarter.

In the last quarter, Huang Xiang Howard sat on the bench and drank drinks, watching the substitutes struggle in the court, which was very relaxed and appropriate.

"Victory, it seems, there is no suspense." When the fourth quarter was 4 minutes and 22 seconds, the Bulls also replaced the main force, Huang Xiang said with a smile to Howard next to him.

Howard nodded, the preseason is over, and now, it's time to prepare for the regular season.

In the end, there was no suspense for the Cavaliers 102:80 Bulls, with a 100-point score, and they were still very strong.

After this game, the Cavaliers ended all their preseason games, and this series, the Cavaliers are 5-1, and their results give everyone hope for this year.
