The 76ers were unable to fight back in the second half and eventually lost to the Cavaliers 91-106, suffering a wave of five straight losses.

Iverson made 5-of-21 shooting and scored 16 points from the free-throw line, while Williams was even worse with 2 points and 3 assists on 1-of-11 shooting.

The day after the tournament, the league officially announced the trade.

The Cavaliers sent Bardinger and an unprotected 2010 first-round pick, as well as a 4 million trade exception (a split from the 20 million trade exception originally traded to the Clippers) to get a 2010 second-round pick from the 76ers.

The deal was mixed.

Some people think that the Cavaliers gave away their first-round pick for the sake of an unstable outside shooter, and they also took a potential rookie, which is not cost-effective at all.

Some people feel that the value of the Cavaliers' first-round pick is constantly decreasing, and trading for an outside scorer is a good supplement.

However, only Tang Tian himself knows what Louis Williams can bring to this Cavaliers team.

When James goes off, the Cavaliers need to have a breakout point and a point of possession, and no one on the team can do that right now.

Louis Williams was called "Daddy Road" by fans in his previous life, because he could shoot suddenly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a weakened version of Kyrie Irving.

And this player just signed a 5-year 25 million contract with the 76ers last summer, which means that the Cavaliers can still use 5 million a year for 4 years!

However, the only regret is that Tang Tian's favorite Ty Gibson played well with the Bulls.

After contact, I knew that unless I used the first-round pick of the Clippers or the Kings, I couldn't trade it.

And those two signings are what he has prepared for next summer, and obviously can't be moved.

If you have an inside rebounding problem, you can only develop it in-house.

During training on this day, Tang Tian deliberately put Ben Wallace into the bench lineup.

He knew that Wallace returned to the Pistons this season in his previous life, and he could theoretically play in the Cavaliers.

The confrontation was played for a while, and sure enough, although the presence on the offensive end was basically zero, the top man, card position, and even blocking were all done very well.

At the end of the training, Tang Tian called Wallace aside.

"Ben, I'm going to play you as a substitute center forward in the next game, is there a problem?" Tang Tian asked very directly.

"Of course, no problem, I'm always ready." Wallace said without hesitation.

Tang Tian nodded.

Big Ben is 35 years old this year, and it is quite incredible that he can survive in the league as a short insider.

But there is a saying that the old man is determined to be thousands of miles away, and many veterans can always play a key role in some cases.

Big Ben is gone, and I'm having a good chat with Matthews.

Both of them lost the draft, and there must be a lot of common topics between them.

The next night, the Cavaliers sat at home and welcomed the Magic, a fierce rival in the same district.

The Magic eliminated the Cavaliers 4-2 last season to reach the Finals and were the Cavaliers' sufferers.

They also traded All-Star player Vince Carter in the summer, further detonating the ball market and once again attacking the championship.

What's more interesting is that Howard, the core of the Magic team, attaches great importance to this game, and not only does he work hard in pregame training, but also keeps urging his teammates.

Anyone who watched last year's finals knows that "Warcraft" is still haunted by last year's finals, he can't beat Yao Ming, this is going to take revenge on Tang Tian's team.

This seems strange logic, but Howard's temper is always so unpredictable.

The attendance rate of the quick loan arena that night was also very high, and the Cavaliers after the big trade had a new look, although there were many veterans, but under the command of Tang Tian, they played more momentum than last season, and now they met the bitter master who eliminated them last season, and they also held their breath.

After the passionate opening ceremony, James habitually threw magnesium powder into the audience, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

After the two sides started the game, the game began.

On the Cavaliers' side, Tang Tian made some adjustments to the starting lineup, he replaced Danny Green as the starting point guard with the excellent Matthews, and the other four positions remained the same, which were still O'Neal, Rasheed Wallace, James and Beverley.

The Magic, for their part, maintained their regular lineup for the season, with Nelson and Petrus on the outside, Cartega Lewis on the front, and Howard on the center.

Howard jumped to win over Wallace, giving the Magic a chance to attack first.

Nelson went to the front court and called the ball straight to Howard.

Although Carter was traded this season, Stan Van Gundy's tactical system is still the same as last season.

Howard took the ball and chiseled O'Neal, and then turned around and hit the board hook.

O'Neal's footwork and reflexes didn't keep up a bit, and he watched Howard score on the board.

The Cavaliers attacked, James found Wallace to block and dismantle, and after disassembling it, he went straight to the basket.

The Magic didn't shrink, James didn't score a pull-up layup on Howard, and the rebound was picked up by Howard.

Nelson didn't break fast after getting the ball, and continued to signal his teammates to pull away when he got to the frontcourt.

O'Neal sank his weight and pushed Howard near the free-throw line.

Nelson was about to ask Carter to come over to block the pick-and-roll, but at this moment, Howard suddenly turned around and shook off O'Neal and rushed directly to the basket, pointing his hand to the sky as he rushed.

Nelson understood and threw the ball directly into the basket.

Howard jumped forward, took the ball in the air, and went straight down to the gods, smashing the ball into the basket.

"Bang!"

The explosive force of that body, the basket seemed to explode.

Howard was also excited after the dunk and yelled at the Cavaliers' bench.

There was a stirring at the scene.

A few years ago, O'Neal beat Howard was like abusing a child, but after this old age, he was unable to do it on both ends of the floor.

Now Howard beats O'Neal Sr., just like Yao Ming beats Howard, a bit of a bully.

Tang Tian called Ben Wallace from the bench at this time.

"Ben, don't let him into the box." Tang Tian opened his mouth and admonished.

Big Ben nodded, stripped off his training clothes and walked briskly towards the technical table in midfield.

The game on the court continued, Howard was dominating on the inside, the other outside players of the Magic team did not shrink at all, and James' layup after breaking through was interfered with by Howard.

Nelson advanced to the frontcourt, played blocking and dismantling with Howard, and hit the ground after the dismantling, Howard took the ball and wanted to dunk it, but was directly pulled down by O'Neal Sr.

It was at this moment that a short whistle sounded from the sidelines, and Ben Wallace came on to replace O'Neal Sr.

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

In an unfavorable situation, people will always find some spiritual sustenance.

Old O'Neill was replaced and replaced with the boss, which was Tang Tian's change of tricks, and naturally it became the expectation of fans.

Tang Tian also looked at Ben Wallace on the court at this time.

Although Lao Ji is in charge of the long distance and has ambitions for thousands of miles, he is quite old and can still eat, only if he really fights.
