At 10:30 p.m. ET and 6:30 p.m. PT, the regular season game between the Clippers and Cavaliers kicked off at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The game was quite intense, the Clippers were in good shape at home despite the absence of Captain Brand, and the Cavaliers' double-high interior line has also been in good form recently, and the two sides played back and forth in the first quarter.

The Cavaliers dominated the game and score overall, with LeBron James playing well and Ilgoskas and Gooden constantly looking for scoring opportunities through his passes.

In comparison, the Clippers play more flexibly, but the Cavaliers defense is really good, while the Clippers shoot less from beyond the three-point line, and the Cavaliers shrink the defense, making the Clippers offensive play a little sluggish.

Leon watched the two teams on the sidelines like the teams of the 90s of the last century, attacking the inside, not shooting on the outside, and being tough defensively, and the more I watched it, the more uncomfortable I felt. Back in Boston, although the Celtics had the league's ultimate defense, their three-point shooting was second to none in the league. Good offense and defense are the characteristics that a championship team should have.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a once-in-a-decade talent like James, but their tactical choices and poor staffing are almost once-in-a-decade.

Mike Brown's lineup wasn't that bad, but Leon knew that if he started in the wrong direction, no matter how good he did, he would just go further and further down the wrong path.

He only hopes that his Phoenix Suns don't go down the wrong path.

As the game heated up in the third quarter, LeBron James began to show his power – he wasn't particularly good offensively tonight, but he could rely on his defense to help his team take advantage. By the third quarter, he had five steals.

Steals are a kind of high-value data, which is much more meaningful than rebounds that can be picked up or carded, and every steal can mean a successful defense and an opportunity to score on an easy counterattack, so when it comes to statistics, the high-level data bonus of steals is very strong.

James' back-to-back steals, combined with his unstoppable counter-attacking push, finally allowed the Cavaliers to build a double-digit lead in the third quarter and successfully halt the Clippers.

On the Clippers' side, veteran Sam Cassel is still struggling to help the team, and his offense feels good tonight, but the Clippers are not at their peak without Captain Brand after all, and their offense in the fourth quarter is starting to become lackluster.

Cassel scored 28 points on 10-of-19 shooting, and the veteran is 38 years old this year, and he has to be admired for his efficiency and contribution on offense.

In the summer, Leon also considered getting the old ball skin from the Clippers to help Nash reduce the pressure on the organization and offense, but because of his age, he didn't like to shoot three-point shots, and he was worried about lowering the average appearance of the whole team, so he finally chose Jasco Waisius, who was younger, played more in line with Leon's heart, and urgently needed to prove himself.

In the end, the score was fixed at 109-95, and the Cavaliers took a bitter and then a sweet one, crushing the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center to take a win from the West.

LeBron James scored 23 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 6 steals in the game, and was named the best player of the game, and was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines after the game.

Leon and Ayatollah Khomeenez got up to leave, Leon carefully supported his pregnant wife, Khomemenes looked at James and said, "This kid is a guy with brains, I guess he won't be satisfied with being a basketball star." ”

Leon said, "Why do you say that? ”

"He's a client of CAA, but a lot of things are decided by him instead of listening to his agent, and I've heard that he's very assertive and starts planning his future path at a young age," Khomeenes said. ”

Leon said: "That's a good thing. Among the players in the league, James's ability has always been valued by Leon, because he knows that any team that has this player can immediately pull out a team that competes for the championship, except for a few teams that are less functional.

Unfortunately, the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of those few teams, so Leon feels that James should plan for his future.

"He's got a bit of a long-term plan, far beyond basketball. ”

Leon said: "Well, isn't our planning the same as in the basketball world? How many houses have been sold? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, and I've been talking about it from my father, and he doesn't seem to approve of your plan......"

Leon had approached his father-in-law in the hope that Boston would give him financial support, and Leon wanted to play big in the financial turmoil on Wall Street. But it seems that his father-in-law is not very supportive of his son-in-law, of course, not because Leon stole his baby daughter, but because the short of real estate seems a bit fantastical.

Leon had long expected that there might be such an outcome, and it didn't matter if he didn't get the support of the Boston consortium, he himself had accumulated a lot of savings, and when the time came, he was using his three-inch tongue and empty gloves white wolf. He wants a piece of this gluttonous meal of the Americans no matter what.

And he came to Los Angeles this time, not only to see his wife, but also to watch a game between the Clippers and the Cavaliers, he has more important things to deal with.

After leaving Stamps, Leon sent Ms. Holmeniz home and drove to a bar near a hotel in Los Angeles. The night in Los Angeles is so sultry that any player who comes here to play will inevitably have fun in one of the clubs after the game.

Leon certainly didn't come to have fun, but to meet someone, none other than LeBron James' good friend Rich Paul. In 2005, the young LeBron James personally fired Goodwin, the basketball agent who once brought him more than 100 million yuan in advertising contracts. Then he began to take charge of his own basketball business, and Rich Paul was a good friend of James, a nominal assistant to James, not an agent, and of course he had some of the responsibilities of an agent.

Of course, Leon knows everything about this Paul, this guy used to be a jersey seller, and then because of a chance encounter with James, he climbed the phoenix branch and became a person in James' core social circle. After James fired Goodwin, he began to act as James' agent.

Leon easily contacted Paul through his connections, hoping to meet LeBron James tonight, but Leon was very polite, he named and said that he would meet Rich Paul first, and then let Paul decide whether to let James meet him. Leon's attitude is very well used by a black man like Paul who was born on the street, and besides, who is Fox Leon? The NBA's famous championship coach is a legendary figure.

In a sense, Rich Paul's experience is very similar to Leon's, both of them were halfway home, without any basketball experience, and went from being a fan to a man of the year - of course, Leon may not have been a fan in the past.

In the private room of the bar, Leon meets Rich Paul and several of his black friends, and in the dim light of the private room, Leon pulls a cigar out of his pocket. After coming to Khomemenez, Leon never smoked. Seeing this, Richie Paul hesitated for a moment, but still took out a lighter and stepped forward to light a cigar for Leon. 8)
