Chapter 147: Offense and defense are unfavorable

The bearded man hit a free throw, and the score became 5:0.

The Cavaliers were not dominant offensively and defensively, and this almost became a microcosm of the whole game.

In the entire first quarter, James shot 1 of 5, Ricky Davis shot 1 of 3, Ilgoskas shot 4 of 7, Ye Feng shot 2 of 4, and Kapono shot 0 of 1, but only got 1 shot.

In this quarter, the Cavaliers shot 8-of-20, 1-of-3 three-pointers, and 2-of-4 free throws, scoring a total of only 19 points. It was almost Ilgoskas who held the game alone.

At 19:23, the difference between the two teams was not large, and the Hornets only led by 4 points.

However, in the second quarter, after Ilgoskas got off the break, the Cavaliers' offensive end collapsed directly, 13:20, which was the score of the second quarter, and 32:43 at halftime.

In this quarter, James, who was targeted, made 0 of 2 shots, and Ye Feng only shot 1 of 3.

In the third quarter, James shot 2 of 7 in the whole quarter, Ye Feng only scored 2 points on free throws, and the whole team still relied on Ilgoskas to support.

At 17:24 in the first quarter and 49:67 in the third quarter, the game entered garbage time early.

"The Cavaliers are a very talented team, but they are still a little bit worse than the Hornets."

"That's right, defense wins. In this day and age, a team without defense can't go far. The Cavaliers' defense is in dire need of reinforcement! ”

The live commentary analyzed the two teams and came up with a very pertinent answer.

That's right, the Cavaliers lost to the Hornets' strong defense.

This season, from the preseason to the regular season, the Cavaliers have played many strong teams, the Lakers, Pistons, Pacers, and Timberwolves, but none of them lost so badly.

To say that the Hornets are better than these teams, no one will believe it, but why did the Cavaliers lose even more?

The answer is that the Hornets' defense can't find obvious holes.

Playing the Lakers, you can use Fisher as a breakthrough point to play the Pistons, the veteran Campbell is too old, Big Ben can't prevent the Pacers, Reggie Miller's defense is only trash talk Timberwolves In addition to the wolf king and the madman, there are many holes

Therefore, there is no suspense that the Cavaliers will lose this game.

At 68:86, with the Hornets releasing water in the final quarter, the Cavaliers still only played the lowest score of the season so far, and the record also came to 5-10.

Although it is not the bottom one, it is also the bottom few teams.

And as the game continues, the Cavaliers' record will be even worse. Because next, their opponents are the Pistons, Grizzlies, and Nuggets are all playoff-level powerhouses.

In this game, Dakong cut 20 points and 7 rebounds, James 15 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, but the shooting rate was less than 30 Richie Davis 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, but Kapono took 10 points and 2 rebounds, including 3 of 6 three-point shots, and performed well Ye Feng 13 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, and 1 of 3 three-point shots.

After the game, the major media did not have a good evaluation of the Knights.

Los Angeles Times: "They may have a future, but they don't belong now!" ”

"When encountering a real strong team, the knights are revealed. And this is just the beginning, in the next game, against the league's No. 1 defensive powerhouse Pistons, the Cavaliers may be even worse. ”

Hoop: "They're still young and need to wait. ”

Huaxia's slam dunk: "The Cavaliers are full of hope, but at the same time there are many problems that continue to be solved. ”

In short, the media does not doubt the potential of the Cavaliers, but this season, everyone still thinks that the Cavaliers are just a belly team.

November 28th.

The Cavaliers arrived in Detroit, the "Motor City", for their penultimate game in November.

Previously, the Pistons were 10-6 and ranked third in the East. The Cavaliers are 5-10 and sit third from bottom in the East.

People don't doubt the outcome of this game, all they are interested in is how many points the Cavaliers can score in the end, whether they will hit a new season low, and they can't even score 68 points.

There are even spinach stations that offer bets based on the Cavaliers' final score.

The odds of a first gear of less than 60 points are 1 to 15, the second gear is 60 to 75 points is 1 to 05, the third gear is 75 to 85 is 1 to 2, and the fourth gear is 1 to 10 for 85 points or more.

Obviously, most people don't think the Cavaliers will score more than 75 points, it will be difficult to reach more than 75 points, and it is impossible to score more than 85 points.

Before the game, Ye Ni called Ye Feng and scolded the odds of the spinach station, feeling that they looked down on the Cavaliers too much.

Ye Ni even wants to spend $1,000 to buy a four-block Cavaliers who can score more than 85 points to support Ye Feng, but as a practitioner in the financial industry, Ye Ni herself is not very convenient.

But Aunt Chrissy didn't say a word, and directly helped her daughter buy a $1,000 fourth gear.

In addition, Avril directly bought $100,000 for the fourth gear, as a super newcomer in the music industry, $100,000 is really not a lot of money.

As for Long Zaifei, he said that he meant it, and directly bought the fourth gear for 1 million US dollars.

Ye Feng wanted to give Long Zaifei a hug at that time, and he meant that he spent three times Ye Feng's annual salary at once. The world of rich people is really unimaginable, and poverty really limits Ye Feng's imagination.

Ye Feng's annual salary is 330,000 US dollars, plus the 1.5 million US dollars for the three-year endorsement contract for coconut water, a total of only 1.83 million US dollars, most of which are just contracts, and I haven't gotten them.

But in any case, for Ye Feng, what he wants most is to win.

Even if it is the Detroit Pistons, Ye Feng wants to take away a victory from here, even if the difference in strength is very large, even if the Cavaliers are not complete, even if everyone is not optimistic about the Cavaliers.

Towards 8 p.m., both sides started the game.

On the Cavaliers' side, the starting lineup of the first two games continued: Ilgoskas, James, Davis, Capono and Ye Feng.

On the Pistons' side, there are also the regular five starters: Campbell, Big Ben, Prince, Hamilton and Billups.

The veteran Campbell is 36 years old, 127 kilograms, and his only role is to fight O'Neal when he plays the Lakers. And most of the time, he can't defend himself against other center forwards, after all, he is slow and old.

And only a stubborn coach like Larry Brown, who has a strong preference for veterans, will keep Campbell in the starting line-up.

Of course, some people are favored, and some people are naturally prejudiced.

Daco Milicic, the 2003 star of the class, has appeared in six of his last 16 games, playing three minutes in three shots, two shots, one another, four minutes, one and five minutes.

In other words, Milicic averaged only 27 minutes per game, made 05 shots, and scored 0 points, 017 rebounds, 0 assists, 033 steals, 033 blocks, plus 083 fouls and 017 fouls.

The last time he saw Ye Feng, Milicic didn't even care who this guy was.

But this time, the eyes he looked at Ye Feng were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

He doesn't expect to have James' chances, but even if he becomes a draft loser, he doesn't care, as long as he can get enough opportunities to play, he is willing to exchange draft picks with Ye Feng.

Perhaps, he just wanted to escape Larry Brown's control.

Regardless, the game will still start on time.
