Chapter 222: James Returns

Ye Feng didn't know what to say, he originally wanted to comfort Boozer, but in the end he gave up.

Speaking of which, James and Boozer couldn't get together in the first place.

First of all, the technical characteristics of the two do not match.

What James needs is a pitcher. Boozer also had mid-range shots, but that wasn't his usual approach.

Speaking of which, Boozer prefers to use his feet or tonnage to carry the ball in singles.

But James's requirements for the ball are also very high, how many chances can Boozer get?

The second is character.

With James's personality, it is natural to be the boss.

Although Boozer is taciturn, he is also a man who is not willing to be ordinary.

In his previous life, if it weren't for injuries, he wouldn't have let Deron Williams be the boss of the Jazz all the time.

With these, it is destined that the two cannot always walk together.

So many fans claim that Boozer's departure from the Cavaliers is a betrayal, which is completely unnecessary.

Boozer can't adapt to the Cavaliers in James' power, and James probably can't tolerate this ambitious man.

Therefore, in the future, it is better to get together and disperse, at least to keep a friendship.

……

January 28th.

The Cavaliers host the Miami Heat, who have come from afar.

The Heat team has been injured in many rotations, which has attracted the attention of many Chinese fans.

Because not long ago, the Heat made a trade and got another Chinese player, Wang Zhizhi.

So this game can also be seen as a Chinese derby.

Because of the injury of his teammates, Wang Zhizhi is bound to get more playing time.

Before the game, Ye Feng and Wang Zhizhi got together.

On the other side, Wade and James also got together.

Wade, who was in his rookie season, was actually an older rookie, half a year older than Ye Feng.

Because before entering the league, Wade had just had surgery to remove part of his meniscus, so he was not very healthy.

In his rookie season, Wade was somewhat glassy, playing only 61 games in total and often being injured and out of action.

Prior to this game, Wade had just missed three games. Although he could play in this game, for various reasons, the head coach of the Heat arranged for Wade to go to the bench and play as a substitute.

However, during the warm-up before the game, Ye Feng and Wade warmly hugged and greeted each other.

The two are also old rivals, and they have been rivals since the summer league. Of course, Ye Feng has been at a disadvantage almost all the time.

And in the rookie rankings, James and Anthony are in the same class, and the two are competing for the first place.

Ye Feng and Wade belong to the second level and are competing for third.

Wade's stats are not good-looking because Wade is not as good as James, Anthony, and Ye Feng.

After all, the Heat still have Odom and Eddie Jones, and Wade can only be third, and the ball is behind these two.

In this game, the Heat's starting No. 1 position is the "street ball king" Alston.

In the field of streetball, Alston is king.

But in professional basketball, Alston didn't mix very well, and at best he was a qualified starter.

Those flashy dribbles and passes don't fit into the game and don't help him much.

But with the feel of street ball, Alstom does one thing very well, and that is to protect the ball.

Alstom's dribbling is really solid, mistakes are almost impossible, and it is even more impossible to steal him.

Of course, that's all.

In the confrontation with Ye Feng, Alstom was at a disadvantage at both ends of the offense and defense, and was suppressed by Ye Feng.

As a result, the Heat quickly replaced Wade.

After that, Ye Feng was finally restricted, and his performance declined.

But with James here, Ye Feng doesn't have to take on the responsibility of the main attack.

Run, cover, shoot, pass...... Ye Feng's task is simple.

But even so, Wade still couldn't completely limit Ye Feng.

As long as there is a slight vacancy, Ye Feng will shoot a cold arrow and pierce the heart of the Heat team.

In the end, the Cavaliers relied on a full lineup to achieve the final victory.

The Heat is really unavailable, and Wang Zhizhi played 18 minutes.

It's not that he looks down on Wang Zhizhi here, on the contrary, Wang Zhizhi showed his fantastic footsteps and ultra-long range in the game, which caused Cleveland fans to exclaim.

But to be honest, it was still difficult for the basketball circle at that time to accept this kind of big shooter floating outside.

Not every head coach is the old Nelson, and he can become a Bole for players like Nowitzki and Wang Zhizhi.

The Heat's head coach at this time is Stan Van Gundy, and he's not a head coach who is open to new things.

(Stan Van Gundy, the older brother of Rockets head coach Jeff Van Gundy, is often referred to as Big Van Gundy.) )

In the end, the Cavaliers won 96-90.

Ye Feng scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, and his performance was very stable.

……

With that, there is only one game left for the Cavaliers in January.

The opponent is not unfamiliar, it is the Bucks team that has played in the preseason, Ye Feng also fought with them, and the impact at that time was not small.

January 30th.

The Cavaliers traveled to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks.

Originally, the biggest attraction was naturally the protagonists of the last fight, Ye Feng and Mason.

But Mason was out due to injury, and only Ye Feng could play.

So the media put the propaganda on Ye Feng and T· J. Ford's comparison.

Among the rookies in the class of 2003, there are three outstanding playmakers.

Ye Feng, who averaged 18.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.

Kirk Hinrich, who averaged 10.6 points, 3 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

T· Averaging 7.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game, T· J. Ford.

Shingrich aside, Ye Feng and Ford happen to be two types of point guards.

Both of them are fast, but Ye Feng is better at scoring, and Ford is good at organizing the team's offense.

Ye Feng is second only to James and Anthony in scoring among rookies, while Ford ranks first among rookies in assists.

In any case, the two will be direct rivals in the rookie of the season for the best game.

The media seized on this as a gimmick to attract fans.

"One is the best undrafted player of all time, and the other is a speed guard praised by Iverson, who is better?"

(Iverson, after his game against Ford, said that Ford was faster than he was on the dribble.) )

In this game, both played well.

Ye Feng had 25 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and Ford had 10 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals.

It can be said that this duel between the two is a draw.

However, the Cavaliers beat the Bucks 107-95.

On the team's side, Ye Feng defeated Ford.

The point is that Ye Feng has enough helpers.

James had 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Boozer had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and Ilgoskas had 16 points and 11 rebounds...... With Ye Feng, a total of 4 people scored more than 15 points.

On the Bucks' side, except for Michael Reed, who scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, everyone else played badly.

This is also the characteristic of the jump shooting team, and the whole team is a regular thing.

At this point, the Cavaliers' January game is completely over.

The Cavaliers have a 25-21 record and are on a full team. With a wave of four consecutive wins, morale is booming!
