Chapter 595: Truce

The two consecutive sounds of "......" and "bang......" sounded in the most luxurious team training room in Cleveland. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I only saw that Carter was sitting on the sidelines with his knees covered at this time, but judging by his appearance, he should not be seriously injured.
"How? Did you hurt your bones? "Seeing Carter sitting there, all the players came over, and Byron Scott was more concerned that if the players were injured in training at this time, it would be really too much trouble.
"Let's take it to the infirmary first!" Seeing Carter lying there, the team doctor next to him said first, so Zhang Kong and they became porters this time, and took Carter to the infirmary, and after receiving a more systematic examination, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it should be a little tired in the knee, but it is not a big problem, and it will not affect it after resting for a while."
Although it is said that it will be fine after resting for a while, everyone knows that Carter's small injury this time is not an accidental phenomenon.
"It looks like the injury problems that have accumulated this season have finally exploded." Byron Scott looked at Carter in the infirmary and the other players who were chatting with Carter there, and he also had a vague sense that something was not right.
In fact, the Cavaliers are a team with more rest in the league, after all, Byron Scott's surname is very good.
So he often gives the players holidays, but even if they often take holidays, the players don't go out to mess around, but after a long time, this body will still be unbearable, just like now, Carter's injury this time is just a small injury, and it will be fine in a while.
But one day, his injury will be reimbursed this season, which is not what they want to see.
The NBA's schedule is really very tiring, continuous games and back-to-back are very special, plus the usual training, plus the playoffs, a full eight months, half of which is spent in the field, and the remaining half is also training and games locally.
Because their bodies are recovering well and have reached the peak state, but if they are not in the peak state, it is only their physical strength, and their bodies are still those in their thirties after all, which is not a joke.
This season, the playing time of several main players is very high, Zhang Kong has an average of 38 minutes of playing time per game, which is not much compared with the iron man in the league, plus Zhang Kong is young, he is rarely injured! Maddie's playing time is basically about 35 minutes, which is not too much, plus Maddie mainly responds to and shoots on the outside side, and rarely breaks through, so Maddie is considered to have better physical strength here, Jamison's playing time is basically about 33 minutes, but his physical consumption is very large, because he not only has to shoot three points on the outside, to break through, but also to carry the opposing player on the inside to grab rebounds.
So Jamison's problem is also more serious, and in the end, Vince Carter's problem is even more serious, Carter is the sixth man of the Cavaliers, playing time of about 30 minutes, leading the offense of all bench time, and also participating in the time of the main players, counting the five All-Star players of the Cavaliers, in addition to Zhang Kong, the most tired is Carter, although he has the least playing time, but this does not affect his play in the bench time, and his offensive means, eighty percent of them are breakthrough dunks, So it's very detrimental to his knees, and the injuries to the players, very few of them are the kind of direct injuries.
Basically, it will be injured after accumulating for a long time, and this accumulation period is much more important than that trigger point.
"It's been 23 consecutive wins...... Forget it, let's take a break for now! Looking at the players in the infirmary, Byron Scott made a decision after seeking the opinion of the team doctor, that is, to rest in rotation, the current Cavaliers record is 61-7, and the record has passed 60, leaving the Celtics, Bulls, and Heat behind him most of their positions.
They take the first place in the East, which is almost a matter of internal certainty, and the Spurs in the West and their own wins are also a lot of gaps, in this case, the players' bodies are obviously the top priority, and the last five games have been played on the home court of the Cavaliers, in this case, it is the best time to rest and prepare for the playoffs.
Byron Scott is not one of those old coaches, old coaches may think more, and Byron Scott knows that as long as he wins the championship this season, no one will say anything about himself, and he is very right.
After this small incident, the Cavaliers stopped training and played the Magic at home that night.
Amid the crowd's incredulous incrimination, the Cavaliers put on a strange starting lineup, with the rest of the four All-Stars sitting off the court except for Gerard Wallace, with Zhang Kong, Maddy, Jamison and Carter all wearing team uniforms and becoming bench players.
Instead, those substitute players were put into the starting lineup, seeing this lineup, the Magic team was stunned, and others were also stunned, but with the ESPN report, saying that Carter sprained his knee today, everyone understood, Byron Scott is going to start playing rotation, today's game, it is estimated that these players of the Cavaliers are on the court, that is, they will go through the motions and shoot twice, but until the end of the game, they have not been seen on the court, and Gerrard is the protagonist on the court today.
After all, he had just come to the Cavaliers, and his physical strength was not greatly affected, so Gerard began to rush and fight violently from the beginning, and with Gerard alone, he caused a lot of trouble to the magic that came tonight.
However, the game was still in the hands of the Magic, who went on a 30-15 offensive wave in the first quarter.
Since the beginning of this season, the Cavaliers have not scored 15 points in a single quarter, and the audience is naturally dissatisfied.
Even if you want to take a break, you have to play beautifully, hearing the boos of the audience, Byron Scott had no choice but to put Maddy, who has relatively good physical strength, on the court, and then matched Gerrard with the forward line.
In the second quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' offense really worked, in the second quarter, the Cavaliers narrowed the gap to 13 points with a wave of 28-26 attacks, and in the third quarter, the Cavaliers' benches also played comfortably, Gordon Hayward, who has always been valued, performed extremely eye-catching today, in the cheers of the audience, he scored 11 points alone in the third quarter, the Cavaliers tied with the Magic 24-24 in a single quarter, and in the last quarter, the Cavaliers still lost by 13 points, and the bench players saw that the situation was already like this, Then let it go...... This let go of a game and it was really right, and the Magic team suddenly became dumb in the last quarter.
This is also the reason why Byron Scott dares to play the Magic now, that is, he does not regard the Magic team as a league powerhouse at all now.
Although his ranking is not bad, the current Magic seems to be less competitive in the Cavaliers.
Just look at their game in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers haven't messed up yet, they've messed up first.
In the last quarter of the game, the Cavaliers 28-17, the benches won the Magic by a full 11 points in a single quarter, although they still lost the game 97-95 in the end, but the Cavaliers players and fans are very satisfied.
In such a situation, they still only lost to the Magic, which shows that the current lineup of the Cavaliers is quite terrifying.
Although the 23-game winning streak was ended, the evaluation of the Cavaliers in the league has obviously risen one level again.
The Cavaliers ushered in their eighth loss of the season, and in the next 13 games, the Cavaliers are not ready to release the water, after losing to the Magic on the 21st, the 23rd Cavaliers all the main forces returned, at home with a score difference of 124-72, 52 points, a big victory over the incoming Nets, the whole game, the Cavaliers' defense and offense, strong outrageous!
When the game ended, there was a sad song in the league, and the owner of the Nets, Prokhorov, was even more angry.
You know, they just invested a lot of money to buy Deron Williams, an All-Star player, the league's No. 1 point guard in Barkley's eyes, what? Zhang Kong? Buckley has never thought that Zhang Kong is a point guard, fans who like Zhang Kong have given Zhang Kong a nickname, called PC, which is not the meaning of the computer, but to say that PG to C, there is no Zhang Kong can not play, no matter how Niu X's point guard, at most is a pg, SG can play a dual-purpose guard, no matter how Niu X's scoring guard is at most SG, SF can play a swing man, no matter how Niu X's small forward is at most SF, PF can play no three, no matter how Niu X's big forward is at most PF, C can play the inside all-round, And Zhang Kong is a PC, and there is nothing he can't play in the five positions on the field.
Amid a wail from the league, the Cavaliers were at No. 25, 117-81 at home, with 36 points, bloodied the incoming Pistons.
Maddie is very powerful every time he plays the Pistons, and Zhang Kong also got a lot of assists on Maddie.
In these two games, Zhang Kong scored 30 points per game, and there are not many people in the league who are willing to play against the Cavaliers now.
Then on the 27th, the Cavaliers won the incoming Hawks 113-99 at home, 14 points, and in this game, Carter was suspended, and Zhang played 28 minutes, scoring 27 points, 13 assists, 6 blocks, 8 rebounds and 2 steals, and won very easily.
However, the next two games finally moved, and it didn't look so easy to play, and after playing these two games, the Cavaliers' March schedule was officially over, with the 29th home against the Heat, and the 30th away against the Bobcats.
