After signing the contract, Ye Feng got the Cavaliers' squad for the new season.

Centre: Ilgoskas; Chris Meme; Jeraney.

Power forward: Carlos Boozer; Darius Myers; Lee Nailong.

Small forward: LeBron James; Ira Newbell; Jason Capo.

Shooting guard: Ricky Davis; Kadric Brown; Kevin Ollie; Leaf wind.

Playmaker: Jeff McGinnis; DaJuan Wagner.

Purely looking at the strength of the Cavaliers on paper, it is actually very strong.

LeBron James, the future No. 1 in the league, needless to say.

"Big Z" Ilgoskas, the perfect system center, an All-Star level player.

Carlos Boozer, All-Star level, peak 20.9 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3 assists, known as Yao Ming's nemesis, Carl Malone's successor.

(Regardless of whether the name of Yao Ming's nemesis is accurate, but the strength is undoubted.) ）

Ricky Davis, the team's boss last year, averaged 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and he also has strength.

Dajuan Wagner, last year's lottery pick, averaged 13 points per game, and is the team's most important development target besides James.

In addition, Meme, Darius, and McGinnis are all good role players.

However, for various reasons, in the end, this Cavaliers team did not even make the playoffs.

At the beginning of the season, the players were constantly conflicting with each other and eventually fell apart.

However, these have nothing to do with Ye Feng.

What he's thinking about now is how to stand out from the shooting guard position.

Ricky Davis was originally a swingman at guard, but when James came, he would definitely have to stay at the shooting guard position.

Cardrick Brown is not to be feared, he has not played well and has been cut in recent seasons.

Kevin Ollie is a veteran, slow, and already in retirement status, and won't take too long.

Therefore, Ye Feng basically shares playing time with Ricky Davis, but Ricky Davis, as the main player of the team, averages at least 35 minutes per game, Ye Feng is very embarrassed and basically has no playing time.

So Ye Feng must perform in training camp and preseason games in order to win playing time for himself.

On the first day of the training camp, Ye Feng, Capono, and Gerani, as the team's marginal people, naturally did not dare to slack off and arrived at the earliest.

The fourth is the core of the team's future, the "little emperor" LeBron James.

As a reborn, Ye Feng knows that James has a lot of controversy, but there is one thing that is undoubted, that is, his training attitude.

He's the only star who can match Kobe's phrase "Los Angeles at four in the morning."

Sure enough, success depends not only on talent, but more importantly, on acquired efforts.

This is the first time Ye Feng has seen James, 18-year-old James, very young, no beard, and his body size is not as exaggerated as that of later generations.

Ye Feng remembered the physical test data he got last night, James was 201.3 cm barefoot, 203.2 cm in shoes, 213.4 cm in arm span, and 111.1 kg in weight.

After all, only 18 years old, James is still developing.

Other stats such as fat content, bounce, bench press, box switchback runs, 3/4 sprints were not tested.

James' speed has always been a mystery.

However, someone once broke the news that James tested 10.4 seconds in the 100 meters in high school. And Flash Wade is 10.82 seconds.

In other words, running without the ball, James is even faster than Wade.

Of course, in the state of holding the ball, because James is too high, the center of gravity cannot be pressed, and the speed is definitely slower than Wade.

But even so, it stunned Ye Feng.

The sport of basketball is really unfair to people other than black people.

Think about the fact that many people have practiced sprinting all their lives, but they can't reach James's casual running results.

Ye Feng couldn't help but turn on the system to James.

Height: 203 cm, weight: 111 kg.

Speed: 92

Strength: 91

Bounce: 96

Ball control: 80

Passing: 70

Three points: 40

Overall: 78.2 (85.8) The data in parentheses does not include three-point shots.

Wade is 76.7 (82) and Ye Feng is 71.3 (65.6).

Ye Feng was stunned, he really deserved to be the "Chosen Son"!

Even Wade was crushed by James.

This is still Wade is 20 years old and basically fully developed. James is only 18 years old, and he can still develop a lot.

Once James is fully developed, he is simply a monster.

After James arrived, other players arrived.

At half past eight, the time of the assembly, the coaching staff also appeared, and everyone greeted each other and got to know each other.

After all, in the new season, everyone has to fight together.

James behaved very politely, whether it was to veterans, role players, newcomers, and marginal people, he was polite, and there was no arrogance at all.

I don't know, I thought he was an ordinary rookie.

But at this time, there was still one person who did not come.

The heart of the team last season, Ricky Davis.

It wasn't until half past nine that Davis slowly appeared in the arena, still wearing casual clothes, and his jersey was not changed, as if he was on vacation.

Head coach Paul Silas criticized him twice, and Davis said yes, but he didn't really care.

He walked over to James, stared at him, and then reached out and patted James on the shoulder.

"He deserves to be the champion of this year, and he is in good health. Assist me well, and I'll take you to the playoffs. ”

Ricky Davis looks like the boss of the team.

The corners of James' mouth, who has always been kind, twitched, and the other players didn't dare to speak, and the coaching staff all frowned.

This Ricky Davis doesn't seem to have figured out the situation yet.

Ye Feng stood at the back, almost not laughing.

The Nike contracts that James casually signed were all higher than Ricky Davis' lifetime salary. In order to get James, the team spent a bad season, changed two head coaches, and countless assistant coaches.

It can be seen from this how much the team values James.

The selection of James is to make James the boss, and the whole team is estimated to be unclear about the situation by Ricky Davis.

Seriously, Ricky Davis is not the kind of person who wants to be the boss of the team.

It's that his IQ is really a bit ......

The first day of training ended early, and everyone was thoughtful.

Head coach Paul Silas told everyone: "Tomorrow is the team's press day, there's going to be an intra-squad game, so get ready. ”

Silas then pulled a couple of teaching assistants and left.

And Ye Feng and Gerani also followed Capono out to find a place to live.

Ye Feng and Jeraney are both the lowest contracts, and they don't even have agents, so they can only follow Capono at this time.

********

In a café near the Quicken Loan Arena.

Head coach Paul Silas, first assistant coach Brandon Malone and second assistant coach Mark Osszski sit across from each other.

(Former first assistant coach Stephen Silas has been thrown into the dispensable scouting department by Paul.) ）

"What do you guys think about James and Davis?" Paul asked.

"We selected James to make James the cornerstone of the team, and since there is a problem between the two, it is better to trade Ricky Davis as soon as possible, and the team can still be strengthened." Brandon spoke his mind.

Mark Ossowski didn't speak, he had been listening to Paul all along.

Paul frowned: "But Davis was still the boss of the team last season, wouldn't it be good to do that?" ”

"If you continue to interrupt, you will suffer!" Brandon said an old Chinese saying.

But what if James can't take on the responsibility of the core of the team? The Kwame Brown and Michael Olowokandi thing, you all know. Kwame Brown is still Jordan's hand-picked champion, and he still can't escape the fate of parallel goods. ”

Paul was torn.

Kwame Brown and Michael Olovokandi are famous parallel imports in recent years, and they were known as how powerful they were before entering the NBA, but as soon as they entered the NBA, they became parallel imports.

"In that case, it's better to keep James and Davis on the team first, there is no obvious conflict between them, and maybe they can still get along harmoniously. This way the team also has a double insurance! ”

Mark Ossowski understood what Paul meant, and of course supported Paul.

"But ......"

Brandon disagreed.

But before he could argue, Paul made the decision not to make any trades and let it be.

Brandon looked at the backs of Paul and Mark, his eyes were full of disappointment, these two guys are constantly making decisions, and the other is only sloppy, and the Cavaliers will have to suffer sooner or later.
