Cleveland, if you really want to say it, isn't a good place.

Heavy industrial cities, in the United States, which has not signed an environmental protection agreement, this kind of place is a place where acid rain falls twice a day, although the level is not high, and it is not to the point of directly harming the human body, but it is always scary, resulting in the capital of a large state, the population has dropped from the beginning of heavy industry in the 40s to only more than 300,000 now.

With fewer people and fewer professional sports teams here, the Cleveland Browns have actually moved to Akron, next door, despite the fact that the Cleveland Browns have won several national championships in Cleveland.

The Major League Baseball Indians even disbanded because they had too few fans to make ends meet, and although they have been rebuilding, they are not in Cleveland.

But basketball fans here are really strong, and since the Cavaliers became the top team in the league in the late '80s, their fans have become very adamant that one day Cleveland can win the championship of the four major North American leagues after many years.

It's probably home to some of the most avid basketball fans.

For example, right now, the Hawks have just come out of the Cleveland airport and see Cavaliers fans holding signs that hit the Hawks.

"Cavaliers fans are crazy? It's just a regular season game. Liu Mang was so frightened by the noise of the fans who penetrated into the bus that he was so loud.

"Bah, rookie, when you get to Salt Lake City, you'll be scared to cry by the fans there!" Jason Terry said dismissively.

No matter how you look at Liu Mang, Jason Terry saw that many Cavaliers fans were actually coming for Liu Mang, and there were also Cavaliers fans holding the slogan "Ace come to our team", which made Jason Terry very jealous.

This has to talk about how unlucky the Cavaliers have been in recent years.

In 1997, the Cavaliers poached Sean Kemp, the All-Star starter and the second team of the regular season team in the free market, and returned to the playoffs in the 1997-1998 season.

Who knew that a shutdown, Sean Kemp, who was known as the Rain Man back then, became a big fat man of nearly 300 pounds, the Cavaliers' championship dream collapsed directly, and even fell out of the playoffs, Sean Kemp's 7-year 90 million contract has also become a burden for the Cavaliers, and in recent years, he has entered the lottery area every year, and even the top eight and top five ranks.

That's not the most important thing, the important thing is that the Cavaliers' last three years of draft have been bleak, in 1999 with the fifth pick in the first round selected Trajan Langton, this player has now been sent to the NBDL, which was just formed by the NBA in April this year, that is, the Development League, and the four-year rookie contract is expected to expire and leave.

The 1999 rookies drafted after the Cavaliers include the current All-Star level Timberwolves small forward Wally Szczebiak, the successor to the mid-range shooting king Richard Hamilton, the Suns' short superpower forward Sean Marion, the Hawks' quasi-first-class star Jason Terry, and AK47 Kirilenko and Ginobili in the back......

In a year that barely counts as a draft year, the Cavaliers selected a non-NBA player with the fifth pick.

If the 2000 and this summer's drafts really didn't have to pick two parallel goods, then 1999 was pure bad luck, Trajan Langton was once the top three picks in 1999, but the top four picks didn't dare to pick up, and the Cavaliers picked it up.

Then the Cavaliers drafted Chris Meem with the seventh overall pick in 2000...... Senegal's big center Diop, who was drafted with the eighth pick this summer, was the one who later cheated out of a big contract twice with the Mavericks and Hornets.

The top 10 picks in the lottery area for three consecutive years, and the selection of parallel goods for three years, Cavaliers fans are going crazy.

Look at the Spurs, the 28th pick in the first round chose a French sports car, that speed, that tactical awareness, the future is bright.

Look at the Warriors, who selected Gilbert Arenas with the second pick in the second round, with his skillful skills and excellent big-picture vision, if you give football rights, I don't know what the data can become.

There is also the Eagles, who are almost at the end of the second round, and they have actually selected a "genius" player, who has frequently appeared on the front page of major sports news, and even occasionally made headlines!

And the Cavaliers' own center Diop, another Mutombo, said that he averaged less than 2 points and 2 boards per game, and Mutombo would not be so bad at the age of 50!

Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry's sense of sight and headache when he looked at the child who was robbed of a lollipop, and reluctantly responded: "Yes, yes, you are our best defender, it's normal for me to be scared, of course you won't be scared, I'll give me two more balls when I play in a while." ”

Jason Terry was happy when he heard this, but he was still very arrogant: "Hmph, of course, I'm not a ball bully!" Of course it will pass you the ball. ”

“……”

……

The Hawks beat the Cavaliers more easily than the Knicks.

Complete strength crushing!

The Cavaliers' record in the bottom of the East is a solid beep, the opening five consecutive defeats, the league does not pay much attention to them, the strength of small cities is poor, the beginning is completely to send victory to the playoff team, the beginning of the season is three back-to-back, the Hawks are lucky to be one of the teams to pick up the record.

The Cavaliers don't have any particularly good players, if you want to say that it's not bad, it's Andre Miller on the point guard, who has a good hand in assists this year, averaging 14 assists per game in the first five games, and the rest of Ricky Davis, that is, the third-rate small forward who later said the famous phrase "The Cavaliers chose James to be my helper", the third-rate small forward who brushed a triple-double to his own basket, and Ramon Murray, who also came to the Cavaliers. It is the contract year big guy who cheated the Raptors next season and got a 4-year 35 million fat contract, and directly dragged the Raptors to the bottom of the league to get the No. 4 contract in 03, and averaged 25 points per game in the first 5 games.

Then, in the game between the Hawks and the Cavaliers, the Hawks started with a 14-2 run, and there was no more.

Liu Mang got playing time in the second half of the first quarter, the Cavaliers didn't have defense, those who brushed assists thought about brushing assists, and those who brushed points thought about brushing points, Liu Mang got several shots in the bottom corner in the second half of the first quarter, and scored 6 points in 2 of 5 three-pointers in the first quarter.

In the second half, Liu Mang got more playing time, but with more playing time, it was impossible to keep holding the ball like just a few minutes of playing time before, becoming a full-time pitcher, and occasionally having the opportunity to counterattack.

This time Liu Mang has nothing like the first four games with a strong opponent he had to face, so it doesn't look like much amazing, but it is the first time he played more than 15 minutes, 6 of 11 in the game, 3 of 7 three-pointers, as always, holding the ball is dry, but unfortunately the Cavaliers have no defense, Liu Mang's ability to make fouls has not been able to be used, and he can easily have shooting opportunities, who is idle to make fouls.

In 6 of 11 shots, Liu Mang played with a normal style of play for the first time, and for the first time he got serious playing time, and his efficiency was still high, scoring 15 points, which slightly refreshed his highest score.

The Hawks didn't give the Cavaliers a chance from the beginning, the Cavaliers players took care of brushing data, and the goals of the Cavaliers' coaching staff and management were also rotten.

97-84, the Hawks beat the Cavaliers to improve their record to 4-1.
