Chapter 47: A Guest in Cleveland

On January 11, the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers, now known as the Gunde Arena, is actually the Quick-Loan Arena that Chinese fans later became familiar with.

The streets of Cleveland, with a population of only 500,000, are sparsely populated, and there is no huge poster of the little emperor sprinkling magnesium powder on the other side of the street.

The Cavaliers, who are currently at the bottom of the East, will be able to wait for their The Chosen One next year.

The Cavaliers' support rating in Cleveland is also not very high, which is related to the team's lack of decent results. The Cleveland Indians baseball team is a Cleveland citizen favorite.

This can also be found at the Gunde Arena, where the 20,000-seat stadium attendance is about 70%, and there are few Cavaliers jerseys, with the occasional few No. 11 "Big Z" jerseys and No. 31 Ricky Davis.

That's not as many spectators as the No. 23 Bulls Jordan jersey, and Chicago is only an hour's drive away, the equivalent of Chicago's Radiant City.

Speaking of the current Cavaliers, Ricky Davis is also a god, first in a game between the Cavaliers and the Utah Jazz, in order to make up a triple-double data, with only 6.1 seconds left in the game, seeing that there was only one rebound left before he got a double-double, he actually dribbled and threw it to his own basket and then grabbed his own rebound, which quickly became the laughing stock of the league. After the game, Davis received an internal punishment from the team, and he was nicknamed "Wrong Rim Ricky" in Cleveland.

If that doesn't make Ricky Davis famous, then when the Cavaliers beat the crowd to select LeBron James, Ricky Davis told the media: "I think the team drafted LeBron to play for me." However, after three games, the paranoid was traded away by the Cavaliers without mercy.

---

The opponent was the league's underdog, and the Wizards' old hooligans caught the attention of all fans during the warm-up. This can only show that most of the fans at the scene are buying tickets for the Wizards players.

Taizu has a sentence that Hu Qingniu has always remembered in his heart, strategically we must despise the enemy, but tactically we must attach importance to the enemy.

Although the Cavaliers are at the bottom of the league, Hu Qingniu still attaches great importance to this game, and he needs to be responsible for every player and fan and do his coaching job well.

His arrangement is still so puzzling to the Wizards, and the focus of the Wizards' main defense is not Ricky Davis, the current biggest player on the Cavaliers.

Hu Qingniu's defensive focus is on Rookie Power Forward Boozer, the 6th pick in this year's 2nd round. Rodman was very puzzled, and he was instructed to defend the short man in front of him like he would defend Karl Malone.

Boozer should be the most hated player among the old fans who are familiar with the Rockets, and Boozer relied on his steady shooting to eat Yao's name, which led to the Rockets' first-round loss to the Jazz for two consecutive years.

The Wizards' players are not very clear about Boozer's strength, and there are not many players in the current Cavaliers roster who will play in the future. Boozer is one of the most successful, an All-Star in his prime, and a member of the American Dream Team.

The rest is the big Z, but the big Z before LeBron James didn't have that perfect shot. The reason is that the Cavaliers don't have a stable playmaker, and Big Z doesn't have a chance to pull out and shoot after the pick-and-roll.

From the start, Boozer was heavily guarded, and he didn't have the slightest chance to hold the ball head-on to the basket.

Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas can only be regarded as a basically qualified NBA head coach, and he is very confused about Hu Qingniu's strategy.

It's just a rookie with a bit of strength, it's necessary.

If Hu Qingniu heard it, he could only say that it was very necessary. In Hu's opinion, Boozer is the only consistent scoring point for the Cavaliers. Boozer's 54 per cent shooting percentage this season seems to be proof of this, with his scoring double-doubles only due to playing time and ball possession limitations.

Without Boozer, Hu Qingniu only saw Ricky Davis making various awkward singles attempts throughout the game.

Directly opposite Michael Jordan, he can only be said to be courageous. In order to save physical strength, Jordan stood far away and did not let go of the shot. After Ricky, who had a shooting rate of only 41%, hit the iron a few times, the Cavaliers' position was completely messed up.

There was no suspense for the Wizards to win, and Hu Qingniu ensured another game in which the whole team played an even game. Tim Hardaway, who played the longest, also played only 31 minutes, and the rest of the time was Tyronn Lue playing around. The lack of organizational skills is the limit of Tyronn Lue's career.

At 106:79, the Wizards won by just 20 points without a force.

No one on the Cavaliers could score 20 points, with Ricky Davis scoring 18 points at the cost of 25 shots. "Big Z" Ilgoskas played a normal 16 points and 8 rebounds.

Boozer was taken care of without a penny, eating duck eggs and only 3 shots. The alternating friction between Rodman and Barkley has made the young "anti-bone boy" doubt life.

The Wizards were also evenly scored, with the selfish Barkley scoring a whopping 33 points.

Hu Qingniu thought in his heart, it seems that it is necessary to set up a selfish line, this fat man is too unruly.

The second place is Ewing, he just picked up a little bit of rebounds in the front court, and Big Z's bamboo pole figure was no threat to him on the inside, with 26 points, 18 rebounds, and 8 front boards.

Third place went to Jordan, who scored only 22 points, perhaps because he was too comfortable last night, and he was habitually weak. After this game, Jordan's average has dropped to 29.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists.

This kind of data is a bit low for MVP contenders, the current MVP ranking Jordan has been hovering around 10th, after all, the Wizards' record is too bad, winning this game is only 11-14, and the winning rate is still less than half.

Kobe, who is currently ranked third, averages 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game, not only crushing the team's record, but also leading the team in terms of data.

What's more, Duncan and Garnett, who are ranked first and second, Duncan's Spurs are firmly in the first place in the league, and no one can shake it. The data of 23.3 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game is also desperate.

The second-ranked "Wolf King" Garnett not only has an excellent record, but also has more powerful statistics, ranking first in the team in all five major statistics, averaging 23.1 points, 13.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

The current NBA is no longer the NBA that Jordan is familiar with, young talents are emerging in an endless stream, it is not easy for Jordan to compete for MVP, the data are all explosive, it is impossible to have a clear advantage, and starting from the record is the only possibility.
