Chapter 366: chink.in.the.armor (3/4!) )
The two giants represented in the previous life.
Because the three Celtics are all experienced veterans, it took half a season to run in completely, and finally won the championship that season.
After that, the Big Three of the Heat, because the three of them needed to explore both experience and playing style, and it took a season and a half to succeed.
And now the big three of the Cavaliers, because of the three-man style of play is extremely compatible, coupled with the coaching staff's perfectly matched tactical system.
Running-in, it really only took one summer.
It may seem incredible, but it's true.
The Cavaliers didn't stop their winning streak, starting the season with a seven-game winning streak after knocking out all of their opponents in a three-game winning streak.
This kind of start is very similar to the original Rockets, the only difference is that it is easier to win.
The team has won a streak, and the atmosphere in the Cavaliers team is quite relaxed.
Even the Big Three do not have priority problems, James and Yao Ming are the kind with more shy personalities, although Paul is harsh on the court, but with Wallace, an old guy, there is no locker room problem at all.
After three consecutive visits back to Cleveland, after training, the players talked and laughed in the locker room.
Tang Tian took Cassel and prepared to talk about tomorrow night's game.
"Hey, coach, we're going to the bar to relax in the evening, are you going?" As soon as he entered, Wallace said with a smile.
The team will not be constrained in the nightlife of the players after the game, as long as they do not violate the league and team rules.
"I'm not going, but you should come back sooner." Tang Tian, as a coach, still opened his mouth to remind.
"Okay, Coach." Wallace smiled.
Tang Tian explained some details of the next game, and then left the locker room with Cassel.
"I'll go with them and watch them a little bit." Coming out of the locker room, Cassel thought for a moment and said.
Tang Tian nodded, unlike him and Casey, Cassel had just retired, and since he was single, it was easy to mingle with the team, and if he went, he would indeed feel at ease.
After Kassel nodded, he walked back to the locker room, and Tang Tian went back to the coach's office.
After more than ten minutes, there was a shout of excitement in the locker room, and the players were obviously about to leave.
Tang Tian tidied up his things, and then left the office.
"Coach, you're really not going?" James walked at the end, and saw Tang Tian stretch out his hand and greet again.
"No, you go." Tang Tian waved his hand.
Because of his previous life, he was a little sensitive to alcoholism.
Seeing Tang Tian's reaction, James waved hello, put on the headphones, and then followed the team.
"These guys."
When he walked to the door of the locker room, he found that the door was not closed, and Tang Tian was about to stretch out his hand, but saw that Paul was still inside.
"Chris, you're not going?" Tang Tian was a little surprised.
"Yes, I'm not going, I'll have to go to the training gym to find out how I can be." Paul said and stood up.
Only then did Tang Tian notice that he hadn't taken a shower yet.
"Okay, don't practice for too long, protect your knees." Tang Tian didn't expect Paul to take the initiative to practice, and he said unexpectedly.
"Yes, I know."
Tang Tian nodded, and then went directly to the underground garage.
Hathaway had a catwalk show today, and he wasn't in Cleveland, he stayed alone at night and drove directly to a nearby restaurant for a bite to eat.
After eating, he remembered that the tactical manual had left the office, and he drove back to the training hall.
I parked the car and was surprised to find that the lights of the training hall were still on.
He picked up his phone and saw that more than an hour had passed, and Paul was still practicing?
That's too yourself, isn't it?
He walked into the training hall curiously, and then unexpectedly found that in addition to Paul, there was Jeremy Lin inside.
Paul was coaching Jeremy Lin through various trainings, and both of them were sweating profusely.
Seemingly, he had a misunderstanding.
It seems that Paul is not practicing for himself, but for Jeremy Lin.
He stood outside and watched for a while, and Paul spotted him.
"Coach, why are you still here?" Paul smiled and came over to say hello.
"I should have asked that, right?" Tang Tian said with a smile.
"I'll stay and guide Lin, he's a very hardworking guy." Paul said with a smile.
The two chatted for a few words, and Tang Tian knew that Jeremy Lin had been practicing more, and he was also playing away, and he was bumped into by Paul before, so he deliberately stayed to guide.
Tang Tian was full of relief when he knew the situation.
The team's point guards are abundant, and Jeremy Lin is difficult to play at other times except for garbage time, and it is rare to be able to maintain such a positive mindset.
It seems that Jeremy Lin listened to what he told at the beginning of the season.
He looked at Jeremy Lin as he walked by.
To be honest, Jeremy Lin's situation is a little different from Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, he has a certain amount of immediate combat power, but he lacks opportunities to perform.
"Be patient, your opportunity will come." Before leaving, he patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder and said.
The next night, the Cavaliers host the Washington Wizards.
The Wizards have traded away Jamison and Arenas this season to build a team around Wall, and have not won a single game so far.
In the face of the weak team, the Cavaliers were bloodless, leading the opponent 96-66 in the third quarter.
With just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, Jeremy Lin came off the bench.
There was a burst of cheers from the audience.
After that, as soon as Jeremy Lin received the ball, there was a commotion on the scene.
And Jeremy Lin made a mistake or didn't score, and the heckling turned into laughter.
Tang Tian frowned slightly.
In his previous life, Yao Ming retired from the NBA, and his attention to the NBA gradually decreased, and he only watched Jeremy Lin's games a little, so he didn't know much about the situation.
However, the experience of Chinese player Ding Yanyuhang made him remember deeply, when he was the MVP of the CBA league, he went to the NBA alone to play in the summer league, which was almost the case, and when he made free throws, the scene even shouted MVP.
This is obviously not a compliment, but more like watching a circus performance, and when you see the wonderful performance of the "monkey", you will cry out.
When I was in the Rockets, because of Tang Tian's training, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian had a stable rotation and excellent performance as soon as they appeared on the court, and that phenomenon was not obvious, but Jeremy Lin was different, his starting point was very low, and now it was garbage time.
It's uncomfortable.
It's not a reaction unique to Cleveland fans, it's all American.
Just like the origin of the word chink, because in the turbulent era of war, Chinese people came to the United States to seek a living, because of their hard-working character quickly made a fortune, attracting the jealousy of white people, and the word was derived.
In fact, in 2012, the official media ESPN still used the phrase "." Such words to insult Jeremy Lin.
Even Yao Ming, who has already made a name for himself, has not been discriminated against by the media and commentators.
The uproar continued, and the ball did not pass Jeremy Lin's hand in the attack, and even received boos from some fans.
Tang Tian was a little unhappy and replaced Jeremy Lin in half.
A few rounds after that, there were a lot of shouts of "we want Lin" at the scene.
It wasn't until Tang Tian got up to communicate with the technical station that such a wave gradually disappeared.
