Chapter 370: Waking Up Is a Big Victory (3/4!) )
Nowitzki's mid-range shot was finally wide, and Yao Ming grabbed the rebound.
The Cavaliers pushed the fast break, Jeremy Lin followed up on the right side to attract the defense, and Paul accelerated directly in the middle to squeeze Stevenson to score a layup.
The point difference is back to 10 points again.
Carlisle reached out and called a timeout.
The Cavaliers are about to get on the rise.
After the timeout, the game played for more than two minutes, and the two sides entered the regular rotation.
Tang Tian only replaced Jeremy Lin with Stephenson at this time.
"Well done." When he got off the court, he reached out and patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder to encourage him.
Jeremy Lin didn't play Stephenson in front of him, because he didn't want to break the regular rotation, Jeremy Lin not only got the 5 points in this paragraph, but more importantly, he pushed this section over.
In the main period of the fourth quarter, Jeremy Lin also continued his excellent form, contributing 2 points and 2 assists.
The Cavaliers eventually maintained their lead until the end, winning the game 123-113.
Paul had 22 points, 16 assists and 3 steals, James hit the first 30+ of the season, contributing 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and Yao Ming had a triple-double of 19 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists.
In terms of role players, Artest, Stephenson, and Anderson also scored double-doubles.
Of course, the most surprising thing is Jeremy Lin, who played 10 minutes and contributed 7 points and 2 assists, playing quite well.
Just like Tang Tian knows, Jeremy Lin has a certain amount of immediate combat power, and what he lacks is only opportunities.
Taking the Mavericks is very crucial for the Cavaliers.
Not only did it boost the morale of the team, but it also reminded the players that they are not invincible.
A wake-up call, which is crucial for a team on a winning streak.
Despite Green's absence due to injury and Jeremy Lin's play, the Cavaliers are still steady.
107-102 against the Celtics, the Green Army's Big Three tried their best, but finally lost.
James and Paul played steadily, both contributing 30+, Yao Ming scored 19 points, 20 rebounds and 7 assists, and rebounded for the first time in his career to 20.
The 102-79 win over the Magic, the Magic's strength has declined this season, and they have been mired in trade rumors and surrendered early.
Yao Ming played magic every day, scoring 27 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks in the third quarter.
With a 99-77 win over the Bucks, Millsap scored 30 points and was powerless.
……
Because of Green's injury and absence, the Cavaliers' scoring has decreased, but what is more terrifying than before is stability.
As of December 24, U.S. time, the Cavaliers have played 28 games and are undefeated!
Fans seem to have gotten used to the Cavaliers winning.
"Waking up is a big win!"
Such a description could not be more apt.
It is precisely because of this that the 28-game winning streak at the beginning of this wave is far less shocking than when the Rockets won 28 consecutive wins two seasons ago.
It's like a ripe melon, and it comes naturally.
After playing the last game before Christmas, Tang Tian will also come to his fifth Christmas after crossing.
Five years passed in a flash.
Five years ago, he was just a small assistant coach, and now he is a senior executive of the Cavaliers, and the owner of a large company worth more than hundreds of millions.
He didn't return to Houston this year, but was preparing to spend Christmas in Cleveland.
Both Swift and Hathaway stayed in town to stay with him.
In the morning, they went to buy a lot of ingredients.
In addition to the usual Christmas Western food, such as turkey, polenta, and pudding, they also bought a lot of Chinese ingredients.
According to Hathaway, it is rare for three people to spend a separate Christmas together, and they have to serve Tang Tian well.
Although these can be done for a little money, this kind of thing is about the process.
It's hard to buy a thousand pounds, and they are willing!
So, a Chinese food lover, plus a Chinese food intern, just worked hard in the kitchen.
Ping-pong, it's really a kitchen like a battlefield.
Tang Tian sat in the living room for more than an hour and didn't see them bring out a plate.
It's the one who meows at the kitchen door and doesn't dare to go in, as if it's some kind of Shura field inside.
Tang Tian couldn't sit still, so he drove Ying Short away with his feet, and looked inside, only to find that there were already several dishes inside.
It's just that...... The appearance is a bit poor.
The stir-fried pork with green peppers is black, the braised crucian carp is a bit like braised fish puree, and the sweet and sour pork ribs become sugar pureed pork ribs......
"I'll burn it." Tang Tian knew that if they continued to toss, they wouldn't have to spend this Christmas.
The two women glanced at each other, and finally consciously gave up their positions.
Tang Tian rarely went to the kitchen in his previous life, but occasionally he would make himself an egg fried rice and a meat eggplant or something like that.
It's certainly unrealistic for him to cook all the dishes all at once, but fortunately, this is the Internet age.
He turned on his phone, searched for some Chinese food cooking methods, and then burned them according to the method above.
The kitchen finally quieted down, and the smell of food began to fill the air.
The two women were curious and happy on the side, and finally ran to the living room to watch TV when they got tired.
Only the short one remained, jumping on the stove, sniffing here and there with his nose, curious.
Looking at the two people talking and laughing in the living room, and looking at the dishes in the pot, Tang Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Why do you come in by yourself, it's good to go out and eat directly if you can't burn it, this is not good for men to learn to cook!
After a busy afternoon, I finally burned a table of Chinese and Western dishes.
Hathaway made the roast chicken and pudding, and Swift baked the cake, which was the result of the three of them.
Under the warm light, the three of them held hands, closed their eyes and made a wish, and then started directly.
After eating for more than an hour, the three of them patted their stomachs, and they were all full.
The cake and roast chicken were all eaten, but half of the Chinese food was not eaten, and the main force was still Tang Tian.
As it turned out, the three of them still didn't have the talent for it.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the three of them went to the living room to watch TV.
'Our manager worked hard today. Hathaway said and kissed Tang Tian.
Swift stood behind Tang Tian and massaged his shoulders.
"Let's go out to eat next time." Tang Tian finally realized the heartfelt emotions of those housekeepers who burned a bunch of vegetables but couldn't eat them all.
"Don't, I'll improve next time." Hathaway said with a smile.
Tang Tian glared at Hathaway, this guy really planned to train him to be a chef.
"Okay, okay, look at the joke, our head coach works so hard every day, it's me and Taylor who should improve."
"Hmm." Swift nodded.
"Then how can you treat me as a hard-working man? First of all, it is stated that this kind of pressing on the shoulder and kissing it is not counted. Tang Tian said with a smile.
In fact, they also try it at Christmas, and when they have money, they just cook for fun.
Hathaway and Swift looked at each other, then proposed:
"Why don't we sleep together at night?"
Hearing what Hathaway said, Swift's hand stiffened, but then he said with a slightly red face:
"Okay."
