Chapter 85: Preparing for the Denver Nuggets, Emperor vs Melon (Two Changes)
The only good news is that the next game is on November 5th.
The Cavaliers have 4 days of rest for the whole team, which is very critical for the Cavaliers players who have been fighting 3 games in 4 days, and it is a valuable rest time.
As a rule, the whole team should take 2 days off to allow the players to get enough rest.
But Paul only took one day off and kept talking to the players.
The team has lost three times in a row, and the pressure on Paul's back is too great, Ye Feng looked at this white-haired old handsome man who was over 60 years old, and his mentor, and felt distressed.
********
The Cleveland Daily News: The skies are still dark in Croatia, when will we see the dawn of victory?
The New York Times: What about the top pick? The fish belly team can't turn over after all, please return James to the Big Apple!
Los Angeles Daily: Gram City Twins = 0-3?
"Washington Post": The champion has 8 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, a 25% shooting rate, and a serious shooting problem! Does he deserve the position of the top show?
......
In the face of the media's downfall, the morale of the whole Cavaliers team is low, the training of the players has begun to deteriorate, and many people even cheat and play tricks, just to complete the attitude of the task.
Of course, in the whole knight team, there is one person who is particularly comfortable, and that is Ye Feng.
In the three games of the regular season, Ye Feng played an average of 27.2 minutes per game, scored 15 points, 2.3 boards, 2.3 assists and 0.7 blocks, and averaged 6 three-pointers per game, hitting 5, reaching a perverted shooting rate of 83.3%, and did not miss an open three-pointer.
What's even more exaggerated is that all of Ye Feng's scores come from three-point shots, which makes many media call Ye Feng a three-point killer, a cold-blooded shooter, the strongest scorer in 2003, and the first pitcher in the 21st century.
The wonderful performance also ushered in more benefits for Ye Feng.
Nike's senior management finally began to contact Ye Feng to discuss the signing.
In China, Ye Feng's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and there is even a tendency to be on an equal footing with Yao Ming.
It is said that CCTV broadcast a three-day documentary filmed by Ye Feng before, and the ratings exploded directly.
Many big domestic brands also began to contact Ye Feng to discuss endorsements.
All of a sudden, Ye Feng became popular.
Of course, Ye Feng will not deal with these things personally, after all, he is also a player with an agent, and these things will naturally be handed over to Zhang Mofu.
In addition, Ye Feng also explained one thing about Zhang Mofu, about the Cleveland Huaxia Martial Arts Association......
The harassing phone calls from this association have already annoyed Ye Feng and want to call the police directly.
********
And Ye Feng himself, in addition to browsing entertainment news at night, all his focus is still on basketball every day.
On the day of the team's holiday, Ye Feng accepted James's invitation, lived directly in James's mansion, and started a one-day closed training.
After a regular warm-up, basic training, the two began to go head-to-head again.
Fighting, Ye Feng suddenly felt that James was in a very strange state today, he was fighting very hard, and he shot with all his strength, without any reservations.
At night, the two were lying panting on the floor of the court.
"Ye, next game, I want to win!"
Suddenly, James said something that didn't make a head.
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, but then reacted.
"I want to win too!"
No one wants to lose, even if it's a professional player, and who likes to lose?
Jordan, Kobe, James...... Probably all paranoid guys, eager to win, will succeed.
"Nope! I'm saying I want to win, not I want to win! ”
However, James said another sentence, which made Ye Feng confused.
"You should know that Cameron [Anthony] guy is on the Nuggets and will be my next opponent."
James didn't let Ye Feng think for himself, and directly said the reason.
I see!
No wonder James is working so hard today and sparing no effort at all.
James and Anthony were the two brightest stars in the 2003 rookie class.
Don't look at Milicic, Bosh, and Wade are not small in fame, but they don't deserve to be compared with these two people at all.
In that era, the most popular player was the traditional center, and the second was the swingman, and James and Anthony could both be swingmans.
Of course, this is not the upper limit of the two of them, and if you calculate it carefully, these two can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, and only when they play as a cameo center, their height suffers more.
Milicic and Bosh are both inside, but not traditional centers, but a new era interior that moves well. Wade is tall and has a lot of limitations.
So as long as the discerning person looks at it, they will choose James and Anthony.
Milicic can surpass Anthony in the draft pick, one is young, the other is the interior, and the third is the Pistons roster needs......
James and Anthony, the fatalistic enemies in the hearts of fans, the lifelong enemies arranged by the league, although the two of them have a good relationship privately, they must also have competition.
James has never been so desperate to win.
"Ye, will you help me?"
James asked.
Ye Feng didn't speak, but silently got up from the floor, picked up the basketball, and stood in front of James.
"So what are you waiting for?"
Ye Feng asked coldly.
"Uh...... Hahaha! You bastard, you dare to provoke me, I'm going to blow you up! ”
James was stunned for a moment, then laughed and jumped up.
Ye Feng: "......"
********
The next day, the Cavaliers went straight to tactical lessons, studying the Nuggets' lineup.
Centre-forward: Marcus Camby, (29 years old, 211 cm, 107 kg), defensive centre-forward, poor in attack.
1-time Defensive Player of the Year, 4-time Block King, 5-time All-Defensive Team...... Although Camby's Defensive Player of the Year award was controversial, no one doubted Camby's defensive ability.
Power forward: Nene Hilario, (22 years old, 211 cm, 113 kg), offensive and defensive inside.
A sophomore rookie, he entered the NBA in the same year as Yao Ming, and scored 10.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks in his rookie season and was selected for the 2002 Rookie of the Year team.
Nene is a very passionate player and if it weren't for the injury, his achievements are immeasurable.
Small forward: "Melon" Carmelo Anthony, (19 years old, only 7 months and 1 day older than James, 203 cm, 104 kg).
Guago, a kaleidoscope in small forwards.
Unlike James's single technique, Guago's ability to do so when he first entered the league.
Three-point shots, mid-range shots, breakaways, low-post back-to-back singles...... Guago is probably the strongest threat in the NBA, not one of them.
I think the reason why James can beat Guago to become the top champion is because he is young and talented.
But this doesn't mean that Gua Ge's talent is not good, it's just that it can't be compared with a pervert like James, and Gua Ge's talent is also top in the NBA.
Shooting guard: Voshán Leonard, (30 years old, 193 cm, 93 kg.) A decent starting point guard who averaged 11.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in his career.
That's what a standard shooting guard is.
Defender: Andre Miller, (28 years old, 188 cm, 91 kg).
He has been in the Rookie of the Year team, won 1 assist title, has a good offense, and has excellent passing, but has averaged only 0.7 three-point attempts per game in his career, hitting 21.7% of three-pointers.
Overall, Miller is an excellent No. 1 and is the brains of the team when attacking, but on the defensive end, the pace is too slow, and the defense can only rely on experience.
In addition, the Nuggets also have a series of powerful rotation players such as Boykins, Joan Barry, and "Birdman" Anderson, and the overall strength is relatively strong.
The Cavaliers challenge the Nuggets, and it will be a serious challenge.
But facing Miller and Boykins is a sweet journey for Ye Feng.
one is 188 cm and has a slow pace; One is 165 cm, and the height difference is too obvious.
Ye Feng was full of anticipation.
Bibby, Marbury, Flying Squirrel, Miller, and Boykins...... Ye Feng's luck was very good.
