Regarding this contradiction between Ricky Davis and the Cavaliers, Ye Feng still has some vague memories.

In the end, Ricky Davis was packed and sent away, and the Cavaliers determined a lineup with James as the core, which also affected Ricky Davis' entire career.

I just vaguely remember that the contradiction mentioned in the news at that time was not so serious, and it was only said that Davis and James could not coexist before being traded.

Now it seems that the reality is very different.

There was a conflict between Davis and Paul.

It was a long time before Ye Feng heard the inside information.

It is said that Paul wants Davis to play less possession and more off the ball, and let James be the first playmaker. And hopefully Davis will change his defensive attitude and do a good job defensively.

This angered Davis, who always thought that he was the boss of the team, and James was just chosen to be his assistant, so why should he give up the ball?

No matter what, the days still have to pass, and the game still has to be played.

At 8 p.m., the game officially began.

The New York Knicks, from the world's largest city, were the first to play.

Centre-forward: Dicambe Mutombo.

This year, Uncle Mu is 37 years old, averaging only 5.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, and he is no longer the four-time best defensive player.

Power forward: Kurt Thomas.

Later, the Suns bombarded Shenfeng, the defense was very tough, and the one-handed shooting made the traditional center a headache.

Power forward: Keith Van Horn.

Van Horn was the 1997 No. 1 pick, and without Duncan, he would have been the undisputed champion. Even so, he is still known as the second Larry Bird.

19.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1 block in his rookie season, and 21.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks in his sophomore season, even compared to Duncan, it is not far behind.

Unfortunately, injuries have caused him to decline and sink since his second season, and he has not even been selected as an All-Star in his entire career.

Shooting guard: Alan Houston.

After Patrick Ewing left, the Knicks went from bad to worse. Alan Houston is the only big-name star who can get it.

With a career shooting percentage of 44.4 percent from the field, 40.2 percent from three-point range, and 86.3 percent from the free-throw line, Houston is a perfect shooter, but perhaps not the right team leader.

Defender: Charlie Ward.

Overall, the Knicks are a deformed lineup of 3 inside and 2 outside, continuing the style of the 90s, with the inside line being king and the outside line being the supplement.

After that, it was the home team, the Cavaliers, who came into play.

The first to play turned out to be the Chinese guard Ye Feng, but his position tonight was the No. 2 position, which caused heated discussions among the on-site commentators and fans, is the Cavaliers going to play a double point guard lineup tonight?

Anyway, Ye Feng's start made his fans very excited.

In the 7th game, Ye Feng finally mixed into the starter.

No! It shouldn't be mixed, with the data of the previous 6 games, fans have no doubts about Ye Feng's start, which is appropriate.

The second to come out was Darius in the No. 3 position.

This appearance made fans cry out that they couldn't understand, Ye Feng and Dalius occupied the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, what should James and Davis do?

The third player to come out was Boozer, who was still the power forward at the No. 4 position.

The fourth to appear is Ilgoskas, who is naturally the number 5 center.

At this time, the fans were stunned.

There is no one left at the No. 1 position, but the Cavaliers are still the main team of James, Davis and McGinnis, what is this for?

The last one, James came out in the finale, playing the No. 1 position tonight, organizing the role of defender.

"Wow, tonight's Cavaliers have a big facelift, it's worth looking forward to!"

"It's just that I can't figure it out, Davis was actually squeezed out of the starting lineup?"

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and they were all very interested in the new lineup of the Cavaliers.

James is also suitable for the No. 1 position, both in terms of breakthrough ability and organizational ability. The disadvantage is that there is no medium and long range casting.

Ye Feng played the No. 2 position, which made fans a little worried. Ye Feng still has a height advantage in the No. 1 position, but the No. 2 position suffers a lot. Will he be able to defend against the 198cm Alan Houston?

However, everyone is still looking forward to the youngest guard combination formed by the two rookies.

Honk~

The competition has officially begun.

Big Z beat Uncle Mu in the jump ball and took the lead for the knights.

James dribbled forward, and when he got to the frontcourt, facing Charlie Ward, who was 188 centimeters, the 15-centimeter height difference was like an adult beating a child.

Without suspense, James easily broke through the defense and smashed into the paint.

Knicks players can only be forced to make up defenses to prevent James from continuing to penetrate the basket, and everyone knows how dangerous James is under the basket.

But tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall is not a good choice, and someone in the Cavaliers will eventually be emptied.

James had a good vision and passed the ball to Ye Feng in time for the vacant position.

Ye Feng raised his hand and threw the ball before Houston returned to defense.

Swish!

Goal in, 3:0.

Ye Feng opened the scoring for the Cavaliers.

Offense and defense transition, Knicks offense.

Van Horn was the first point of attack, but he was entangled by Darius.

If Van Horn is intact, of course, he will have no problem playing Darius, but injuries have eroded too much of his ability.

The chances weren't good, and Van Horn passed to Houston.

But as soon as Houston received the ball, James pressed up.

The Cavaliers switched defenses.

James defends Houston at the No. 2 position, and Ye Feng defends Charlie Ward at the No. 1 position.

"Mid-range shooting king" Houston is naturally extraordinary, a scoring guard from the 90s, who can't go head-to-head?

It's a pity that James's height, speed, bounce, and arm span are all superior, which makes Houston very uncomfortable.

After forcing the shot, the basketball smashed out of the basket.

Ilgoskas took the rebound and immediately organized a fast break.

At this moment, James, Dalius and Ye Feng have rushed to the Knicks' half.

And how can the Knicks, who are mainly veterans and insiders, outrun the Cavaliers' trio?

It is also that the two defenders are faster and can return to defense in time.

James received the pass, 3 to 2 in the front, and it was 206 cm, 203 cm, and 188 cm of three people to play 198 cm and 188 cm of two guards, which was completely the advantage of crushing.

After a couple of passes, Darius put the basketball in the hoop over Charlie Ward's head.

The veteran could only stand in place and watch, quite helpless.

And these rounds have become a microcosm of the whole game.

For the Knicks, on offense, Van Horn and Houston were suppressed. Defensively, the Knicks players suffered too much, except for Van Horn, who had a height advantage of 2 centimeters, everyone else was shorter than the opposite and couldn't defend at all.

James plays guard, and whoever he plays is misplaced.

In the first quarter, at 32:20, the Cavaliers led by 12 points.

In the second quarter, at 24:19, the lead was extended to 17 points.

In the end, at 108:80, the Cavaliers won a big victory, which was also a two-game winning streak.

Knicks side.

Alan Houston shot 9-of-25 from the field and 2-of-7 from three-point range; Van Horn shot 3-of-13 and 0-of-2 from three-point range.

The two cores played this kind of shooting rate, and it was not unjust to lose at all.

On the knightly side.

James slashed 15 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists, Ye Feng 19 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Ilgoskas 15 points and 7 rebounds, Boozer 16 points and 11 rebounds, Darius 11 points and 8 rebounds, and Meme 10 points and 5 rebounds.

The Cavaliers scored in double figures with six players to claim a team victory.

But Davis sat on the bench for the whole game and didn't play for 1 minute, which attracted the attention of fans, who speculated whether Davis was injured.

The Cavaliers ushered in a wave of 2 consecutive wins, and their regular season record became 2-5.
