The Cavaliers beat the Magic 108-91 to claim their 44th win of the season.

The day after that, Tang Tian met Iverson in the arena.

Compared with the last time we met, although I still looked a little haggard, my mental state was much better than before.

"Aaron, welcome to the Cavaliers, Sam, come and say hello to your old rival." Tang Tian greeted Kassel with a smile.

"Hey, Aaron!" Cassel entered the league 3 years earlier than Iverson, and the two played as opponents for more than ten years, so they were quite familiar with each other, and although they had different identities, they quickly chatted.

"Sam, take Allen to get acquainted with the team."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he called Casey over.

Iverson hadn't played for a while, so he had to ask the coaching staff to arrange a special recovery session for him.

Although Iverson has many problems, one thing that is better than other veterans is that Iverson is more durable, and even now, ordinary injuries have not affected him.

The next day, the Cavaliers welcomed the rival Bulls game.

The Bulls have improved by leaps and bounds this season after bringing in Boozer, Korver, and Brewer, and under the leadership of Rose, the current record of 39-9 is second only to the Cavaliers and the second highest in the league.

The game was very anxious after the start of the game, and despite the excellent performance of the Big Three, Rose was very difficult to defend after practicing a good three-point hand, and the Bulls also clung to the score under his leadership.

At the end of the game, Yao Ming stepped up, he took James's pass and hit Noah to 21, and finally took away the game.

Yao Ming was the MVP of the game, with 30 points, 12 boards, 4 assists and 3 blocks, James 26 points, 7 boards and 6 assists, and Paul 16 points and 12 assists.

The performance of the Big Three is still stable.

Iverson didn't play.

After winning the Bulls, the Cavaliers ushered in back-to-back games against the Hawks non-stop.

Because it was a continuous game, Tang Tian appropriately reduced the playing time of the Big Three, and the game was more intense.

It wasn't until the second half of the fourth quarter that the two sides finally decided the winner.

The Cavaliers won 107-101 to claim their 46th win of the season and their second 12-game winning streak.

Iverson still didn't play.

After a three-day break, the Cavaliers had a game against the Raptors.

Although the Raptors kept Bosh, the overall strength was weak, and the Cavaliers led by 20 points in the third quarter.

Iverson finally came on the floor in the fourth quarter, playing eight minutes and scoring four points, one assist and two turnovers.

performance, Tang Tian felt that it was not bad.

It seems that Casey still has a hand, and if he continues to practice like this, Iverson can really help in the playoffs.

As with Tang Tian's judgment, after two days of rest, the Cavaliers faced the Nets.

The Nets were on par with the Cavaliers leading by 25 points at halftime and going into garbage time early.

Iverson also got 12 minutes of playing time in the second half, scoring 8 points, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

The Cavaliers' streak continues, and the All-Star Game is getting closer.

There are still 3 days left before the All-Star break, and the Cavaliers also welcomed the last opponent before the All-Star break, the Thunder.

After the Thunder drafted Harden, he rose to prominence under the leadership of Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Jeff Green and Serge Ibaka, and is now ranked fourth in the West.

A group of young newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the Cavaliers have been winning, and the players are a little casual on the court.

In the end, the Cavaliers lost 102-110 and swallowed their fourth loss of the season.

In the locker room after the game, Tang Tian lost his temper in the locker room and asked the players to go back and reflect.

He is really a little angry, he plays every day with preventive shots, and loses because of the light enemy, this mentality plays in the playoffs, if he finally becomes the same as the Warriors in the previous life, "73 wins and runner-up", it will really be "famous".

Back in the office, after thinking about it, Tang Tiansi still felt that he should go back and talk to Wallace.

This kind of thing, it is not enough for him, the coach, to take vaccinations, but also rely on the players to remind each other.

Just as he was about to ask Cassel to call Wallace in, there was a knock on the office door.

"It's me, Sam."

This said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Kassel actually knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, but Cassel was not the only one who entered, followed by Iverson.

"Don, Aaron said he wanted to talk to you alone." Cassel opened his mouth as he entered.

"Well, when I'm done talking here, you can call Rashid for a moment." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Cassel nodded, then went out and closed the door with him.

"Aaron, are you looking for me?" Tang Tian looked at Iverson suspiciously.

Iverson walked over to the table and sat down, hesitating for a moment, as if he didn't know how to speak.

"Just say it, it's not like your character."

"Coach, that's right, I've been feeling good lately, can the team arrange more playing time for me?"

"Playing time?" Tang Tian looked at Iverson suspiciously, no wonder he hesitated, it turned out to be a rehash of the old matter.

"Yes, my team wants me to get more playing time, and I won't tell you anything, I lied to them that the team promised me a guaranteed playing time, but now I can't hide it."

Listening to Iverson talk about the team, Tang Tian suddenly remembered some things that Kassel had talked to him about in his previous life and before.

In his previous life, Iverson was so miserable in the later stage, and even broke the news of bankruptcy, which has a lot to do with his inability to manage money and being cheated by the economic team, and judging from the information provided by Kassel before, Iverson's agent team managed by his uncle.

This is simply a model of cronyism and pit yourself.

"Allen, I don't think there's any need to talk about it, I told you a long time ago, this is a championship team, playing time is a competition, not just me or someone on the coaching staff, and that's going to never change." Tang Tian said politely.

Iverson hesitated.

He has talked to Moore a lot, from concealment at the beginning to shirk, and now Moore said that he wants him to give the Cavaliers an ultimatum and not play if he doesn't guarantee playing time.

But he still has a shred of sanity, and if he says such a thing, the most likely result is for the Cavaliers to fire him directly.

Tang Tian saw Iverson hesitating and continued: "In your current situation, I can give you a suggestion. ”

"What advice?" Iverson looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"Fuck off your agent, whoever he is." Tang Tian said directly.
