Chapter 132: Those Opponents, Those Challengers

What are the opponents the Cavaliers will face in the next five games?

The five teams of the SuperSonics, Bulls, Mavericks, Suns and Lakers, these teams are not short of people in point guards, among them, the Mavericks and Lakers, there are Steve Nash and Gary Payton respectively.

And on the SuperSonics, Bulls and Mavericks guard line, there is no shortage of talent.

It is not easy for Cao Jian to get past these opponents.

However, does Cao Jian have a choice now?

Cao Jian had no choice but to roll up his sleeves.

……

Although the Cavaliers lost four of the five games in a row, Cao Jian's performance was excellent, averaging 21.5 points per game, which also allowed him to rise from the ninth place in the rookie ranking to the sixth place in the rookie list.

In the first place is Cao Jian's teammate LeBron James, in the past five games, LeBron James's performance is also extremely powerful, averaging 24.5 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game, the data is remarkable.

LeBron James also won his first career Weekly Award.

Followed by the second place is Carmelo Anthony, the first rookie ranking last week, Carmelo Anthony's performance last week was also remarkable, averaging 25.5 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and the data is also stable, with no major changes.

Third to fifth places are Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, and one is Hinrich.

There was no controversy in the top four, but the problem was in fifth and sixth place.

The fifth place went to the Chicago Bulls' Hinrich, while the sixth place went to the Cleveland Cavaliers Cao Jian.

In the past five games, Hinrich has started for the Chicago Bulls, averaging 17.8 points, 11 assists, 2 steals and 3 rebounds per game (3 turnovers per game), and under his leadership, the Chicago Bulls have also won 3 of the 5 games.

Three wins, that's a winning streak, and it's a long-awaited victory for the Chicago Bulls.

On the other hand, Cao Jian, Cao Jian also started the game as a Cavaliers, averaging 21.5 points, 8 assists and 2 steals per game, without a single turnover.

There is not much difference between Cao Jian's data and Xinliqi's data, and even Cao Jian is much better than him, but Cao Jian is ranked behind Xinliqi in the selection.

This made Cao Jian very unhappy.

The official version is that the Cavaliers failed to win the game, and scoring is not a criterion for judging the quality of point guards.

Of course, Cao Jian would not believe this nonsense. Is this clearly not optimistic about oneself, and is it clearly racism?

Cao Jian was looked down upon again, and he didn't feel any discomfort in his heart, on the contrary, now he was faintly excited, and he could give them a slap again.

One of Cao Jian's phased tasks is to enter the first team of the best rookie, and now Hinrich is ahead of him, which means that he is the factor that hinders him from completing the task.

No way! Hinrich must be outdone. Cao Jian thought so.

Heaven favored Cao Jian.

Three days later, the Cavaliers have a head-to-head game against the Chicago Bulls.

At that time, Cao Jian will have the opportunity to compete with Xinrich.

But before that, the Cavaliers have a game against the Seattle SuperSonics.

The Seattle SuperSonics in the 03-04 season are a very competitive team in the league, and before the season even began, some experts predicted that the Seattle SuperSonics would finish third in the Western Conference this season.

It is not without reason that experts predict this.

This season's Seattle SuperSonics have brought together three-point sharpshooter Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis to form the supersonic laser missile, and in addition to the above two, there is also a rebounding machine Danny Fortson.

And in this year's draft, the Seattle SuperSonics selected Luke Ridno with the 14th pick in the first round to be the overall engine to control all this.

Of course, this is just a prediction.

There must be uncertainties in forecasts, and Luke Redno is one of them.

Once the season begins, the onus of starting point guard will fall to Luke Redno.

From Luke Ridnow's first day to the Seattle SuperSonics, fans were optimistic that he would be a good fit for the team for no other reason, because the team presented a style similar to that of the Seattle SuperSonics when he was the head receiver at the University of Oregon.

However, Luke Ridnow's NBA career didn't start well, averaging just 16 minutes per game, scoring just 5.5 points and 2.4 assists in the team's starters.

Luke Ridno didn't take advantage of the opportunity and went straight from the starting position.

Since Luke Ridnow's dismissal, the SuperSonics have gradually returned to the right path, and they are also making steady progress towards the pre-game pundit to give them a third place in the Western Conference.

So far this season, their record has also been steadily improving, and recently they have hit a wave of three consecutive wins, with a 0.5 win gap between them, and the SuperSonics can blow up the defending champion San Antonio Spurs in front of them and enter the top three.

This battle against the Cavaliers has also become a pedal for the SuperSonics to rank among the top three in the Western Conference, and if they defeat the Cavaliers, they will be among the top three in the Western Conference.

For the supersonic players in this game are also full of ambition, and the supersonic also call this game a must-win game, and supersonic fans still play the slogan of victory.

In an interview before the game, Ray Allen was more low-key, he didn't say anything, just said: I will play well.

And the other members of the supersonic team are quite high-profile.

Among them, the most prominent representative is Luke Ridnow, who has been relegated to the bench.

I wonder if Luke Ridno was stimulated by the drop-off from starting to bench for the team, or what?

In an interview, he said: I'm ready for the game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The implication is that knights have never been taken into account?

So arrogant, so arrogant, but that's exactly what the media needs.

The media continued to ask him what he thought of the rookie rankings in the last week. This topic is also the hottest topic in the rookie circle.

Luke Ridno thought for a moment and said seriously: "I think the top four are fine. ”

"And what about the fifth? Do you think Cao is more suitable? ”

"No, no, no, no!!" Luke Ridno shook his head and denied it, and then continued: "I never thought that we had a better point guard than me in this class, not at Hinrich, let alone the Chinese. ”

For Xinrich's answer, the reporters at the scene were also in an uproar, and they also sighed that they had not heard such crazy remarks for a long time.

found out the selling point, and immediately interviewed Cao Jian, knowing what the situation was, Cao Jian, who had just finished training, held the ball in his right hand, and at the same time, wiped the sweat on his forehead, cleared his throat, and said, "No, he said it was wrong." I'm the best point guard in 03. ”

(The second update will be sent.) Kneeling and begging for everything. ）
