Chapter 265: All-Out War!

The Cleveland Cavaliers lineup has changed a lot this season, and of course James' return is the biggest change. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Four years ago, a "decision" made James an enemy of the whole league and a traitor in the eyes of Clevelands. However, four years later, he found everything he wanted in Miami, and he won the championship gold trophy as his compliment, but "home" is such a thing as pulling him all the time. He began to rethink it all: he seemed to realize that where he was was more important than what he achieved. Therefore, he left the place where he had made a name for himself. Yes, there's a tactical system tailored for him, a coach who works well with him, and a championship ring. But LeBron decided to change all that, and everything in his life changed again, leaving behind not only the mansion in the coconut grove and the warm climate in January, but also the rookie general manager (David Griffin), a coach who was in the NBA less than a month ago (Blatter), a group of teammates who didn't dry up, and only one person over 23.

James didn't visit many teams or even listen to many offers, because the choice he made was not rational, it was a decision that followed his feelings, and such a choice is very rare in today's professional sports. He knew that this decision could take the greatest player away from the championship, but he still chose to return to the town where he grew up, and he firmly believed that the same trophy, planted in the land of his hometown, would produce more fragrant flowers.

In order not to live up to James again, the Cavaliers exchanged two champions for Love, and the Cavaliers formed a new version of the Big Three of Irving + James + Love. Around the Big Three, they invited a group of guards with knives, such as Shambaugh, Smith, Miller, and Marion. Suddenly, the Cavaliers were back to the good old days.

"As long as you're willing to wait, good things will happen." David? Blatter said. After coaching Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel, the European coach came to the American continent to take up the reins of the young Cavaliers. It can be said that Blatter was also part of the plan. The Cavaliers back then, if there was a famous coach to support the scene, there might be no back story.

Quick Loan Center.

This is where the story of the Bulls and Cavaliers begins.

The Cavaliers held a grand entrance ceremony for James at home, and when the familiar figure of No. 23 ran out of the home team's tunnel again, there was a deafening shout. More than 20,000 fans came to the stadium, and some fans even paid $5,000 for tickets just to catch a glimpse of James.

"Do you hear the shout? Do you remember what it was four years ago? ”

"Of course I do, you know? How much the people of Cleveland loved him then, how much they love him now. ”

James habitually walked to the technical table again, and yes, there was magnesium powder specially prepared for him on the technical table. At this time, the fans sitting behind the technical table also stood up, and they looked at James.

James poured magnesium powder into his palm, let him open his arms, and sprinkled it into the sky, the action was so familiar. A large audience behind the tech desk threw magnesium powder into the sky as if premeditated, as if premeditated.

"Since the Cleveland Browns won the championship in 1964, the Cleveland people haven't tasted a championship. The city's economic downturn has brought the city to a bit of a slump, and the city's total population has fallen to its lowest point since 1900. Elites from all walks of life have brought their talents to other cities. At such a point in time, James returned with honor, not only for the team, but also for the city. He was the man here, and the most gifted of the prodigal sons who had returned from exile. If he can bring glory to Cleveland, then it will be a perfect script. That's how local Cleveland media described James' return.

------------

On this night, the Bulls were destined to be a supporting role. All the spotlight is on James alone, but successfully disrupting the situation is what Sun Xiaotian wants to do the most. Although it is the first game, neither of the two teams that may meet in the Eastern Conference will easily admit defeat.

The starting lineup of the Bulls is: center Noah, power forward Gasol, small forward Butler, scoring guard Sun Xiaotian, and playmaker Rose.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is: center Mozkov, power forward Love, small forward James, scoring guard Shambaugh, and playmaking guard Irving.

James and Sun Xiaotian are destined to be linked by fate for a long time to come. Sun Xiaotian led the team to eliminate the Heat on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals in his rookie season, and finally won the championship. Last season, although the Heat team led by James avenged with one stone, it is undeniable that Sun Xiaotian vs James is still the mainstream in the East this season.

From the perspective of the lineup, there are similarities in the lineup configuration of the two teams. They all have an offensive guard, they all have an all-around super swingman, and they all have an all-around big man.

Tactically, both teams may also be similar. It may be because Blatter is still just a rookie NBA coach, but throughout his coaching experience in Europe, he strongly values the supremacy of defense, which coincides with Thibodeau. In Europe, whether in Israel or Russia, he coaches teams that are extremely slow in attack, often rotating seven or eight players. But now he's coaching the Cavaliers, who have one of the best basketball players on the planet right now, and it's unclear if he'll change.

It is not known whether Blatter will be able to change it, but Thibodeau has changed. He has been interviewed more than once about the importance of increasing the pace of attack and defence, especially with the current trend of small ball, and it is only fitting to make this change.

Of course, either way, Blatter and Thibodeau will be among the coaches in the entire league who don't have to worry about their team's record, because they both have an ace in their hands, and this trump card is the envy of other coaches.

With Mozkov and Noah jumping the ball in the middle line, the game officially began.

"I've already smelled the season, it's so familiar, come on! Let's have a great season! This sentence was said by Sun Xiaotian before the game, and for him, new teammates and new opponents made him excited! (To be continued.) )
