With the addition of Zhou Qi, the Cavaliers' roster for the new season has increased to 12 people, which has met the minimum number of players required by the team to participate in the game.

Normally, NBA teams fill up the 15-player maximum before the start of the new season, even if it's on a short-term 10-day contract.

The Cavaliers are no exception.

Although Wang Feng has no suggestions for recruitment, the Cavaliers still signed three players according to the scout's report, one of them is a non-guaranteed one-year contract and two are short-term contracts of 10 days, all of whom are rookies who were not drafted in the draft this year.

This kind of behavior can be regarded as a prize, in case there is one of them that can be used slightly, even if it is a big profit, even if there is no loss.

These rookies on non-guaranteed contracts don't have many opportunities to show themselves, only in preseason games, and with the start of the NBA regular season, their stay will be decided.

The preseason of the new NBA season officially began in early October, and the Cavaliers' first preseason game was on October 5, and the opponent was the Charlotte Hornets.

Both the Cavaliers and the Hornets didn't get much attention last season, and their records were both at the bottom of the East, with the Hornets ranked 10th in the East and the Cavaliers 13th in the East.

The pre-season match between the two teams was originally uninteresting and should have gone unnoticed.

But Wang Feng's arrival broke this status quo.

As the undisputed strongest in the league at the moment, Wang Feng's addition has brought the Cavaliers a lot of attention, even no less than when James decided to return to Cleveland in 2.

Some people expect Wang Feng to bring some new changes to the Cavaliers, and there are also hopes that Wang Feng will overturn the car, and the Cavaliers will have a bad record in the new season, pulling Wang Feng off the altar.

In the first preseason game, the Cavaliers defeated the Hornets 109-96, and the new team made its debut.

The Cavaliers completely followed Wang Feng's first lineup concept and sent Jordan. Poole, Desmond. Bain, Otto. The starting line-up of Graham Potter, Wang Feng and Lefou.

Wang Feng actually wants to play power forward in the new season, which makes many media and other NBA teams who pay attention to this game quite stunned.

As we all know, when Wang Feng first entered the league, he mainly played small forward, and later had a brief cameo appearance at the power forward position, and after moving to the Lakers and starting to play point guard, he began to take off completely, leading the Lakers to win three consecutive championships in four years.

Now it is generally believed that Wang Feng, who mainly plays point guard, is the strongest state, and it is somewhat violent to let him go back to play power forward.

However, with Wang Feng's current level, there seems to be no problem no matter which position he holds.

Last season's average of 13 rebounds per game and his performance against Davis on the inside proved that Wang Feng is not impossible to play center, his height weakness can be compensated for with excellent bounce, and his strength is enough to support most center players in the league.

Wang Feng only played about 20 minutes in his preseason debut, and went off the game with 23 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists efficiently.

More often than not, the Cavaliers let the players on the bench show themselves. Curry, Gary. Peyton II, Malik. Munch, Marx. Strus and others have played long periods and played.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Qi, who joined the Cavaliers for less than a month, also got the opportunity to play, playing 11 minutes, getting 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block and 3 fouls, and his performance was not satisfactory, but at least he had a chance to play.

Wang Feng didn't expect Zhou Qi to transform into an NBA-level player through this opportunity at the beginning, but the NBA's scientific and high-intensity training can indeed make Zhou Qi stronger.

After the preseason debut, the Cavaliers played a number of preseason games in the next half month, and tried different starting lineups in the process, including but not limited to the two starting lineups provided by Wang Feng.

But after some testing, Cavaliers head coach Bickerstaff was surprised to find that the two starting lineups provided by Wang Feng were actually the most effective.

He also arranged several sets of tactical systems and lineups according to his sense of smell and judgment as a head coach, but the overall effect was not satisfactory, or the players' performance was slightly worse than Wang Feng's two sets of lineups.

This made Bickerstaff admire Wang Feng even more, of course he didn't know that the starting list arranged by Wang Feng was formulated with reference to the data performance of players in another time and space, and he chose the best player as the main starter.

Bickerstaff doesn't have the ability to foresee Wang Feng and has not been tested in a lot of official games, so it is naturally unclear which players on the team are stronger, and what kind of offense and scoring methods they are better at.

The preseason schedule was over quickly, and the Cavaliers had a decent performance in the preseason, winning and losing, but looking at it as a whole, it didn't give people a bright feeling.

Wang Feng is still the same Wang Feng, showing dominance on both offensive and defensive ends, but the rest of the Cavaliers seem to be doing just that, at least professional scouts and basketball critics haven't found one or two players from among them who have the ability to become All-Stars.

Jordan. Poole and Desmond. Bane is two of the best players on the Cavaliers, with Desmond being the best player. Bane was the most eye-catching, averaging 21 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in the preseason, shooting 45% from three-point range.

In the Cavaliers' first starting system, Desmond. Bane is like a fish in water, and he doesn't have to take on any responsibilities on the offensive end, and many times he just needs to stand in the bottom corner of the three-point line and wait for the ball to shoot.

With five positions all-round three-point shooting, the Cavaliers have quite a lot of shooting space, and they can get open shots by running and cutting the basketball.

Bane got a lot of opportunities with the Grizzlies last season, averaging 22 minutes per game, but his stats were only 9.2 points and 3 rebounds.

The Grizzlies value Bane's potential more, but the Cavaliers give too much, and Bane, as a two-way guard, has a slight overlap and conflict with Morant, who is supported by the Grizzlies.

On top of that, the Grizzlies simply couldn't have imagined that Bane would grow from averaging 9.2 points per game to an excellent guard averaging 18.8 points per game in just one season, otherwise they would never have chosen to trade Bane.

Regardless, Bane's preseason performance made the Cavaliers' coaching staff shine, and they were pleasantly surprised to find a man with scoring ability no less than Jordan. Poole, and a more accurate offensive player with three-point shooting.

As for Jordan. Poole, last season with the Lakers, Jimmy. When Butler was injured unexpectedly and reimbursed for the regular season season, Poole, who temporarily took Butler's position, has proven his ability, and in the Lakers team with players such as Wang Feng, Ingram and Kuzma, Poole, as a starting point guard, can still provide a good scoring output stably and become one of the Lakers' main scoring points in the regular season.

Coming to the Cavaliers, Poole has more balls and shots, and after two seasons of growth and tempering, he has become more and more calm on the court.

"The situation...... It doesn't seem that bad. ”

Before Wang Feng could make a move, Bane and Poole's performances were beyond Bickerstaff's expectations, and this was without taking into account the performance of the rest of the Cavaliers.

After carefully reviewing the Cavaliers' preseason performances, Bickerstaff was stunned to find that the current Cavaliers seemed to be the richest game he had ever fought since he took charge of the Cavaliers.

But in the eyes of the outside world, the new season of the Cavaliers is not particularly worth looking forward to.

Bane and Poole's preseason scores are certainly eye-catching, but what does that mean?

Everyone knows what the preseason is like, but when the regular season comes, when the teams increase their defensive intensity, will they still be able to play as efficiently as they did in the preseason?

At that time, there is a high probability that Wang Feng will support the Cavaliers alone.

Therefore, after the preseason, the Cavaliers can only rank outside the top ten in the power list given by the league, ranking 11th in the league.

From top to bottom, the league power rankings are top-ranked Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, New Orleans Pelicans and Denver Nuggets.

The Cavaliers can rank eleventh in the league, or it is entirely up to Wang Feng, the first person in the league, otherwise in terms of the team's lineup, such as the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have three champions, and the Utah Jazz are also stronger than the Cavaliers.

And even if the league gives such a power ranking, there are still many people who don't buy it.

"Can the Cavaliers be in eleventh? That's a high ranking, right? In this way, if you put it in the East, the Cavaliers can reach fifth or sixth in the East in the regular season? The Cavaliers finished the regular season at most about seven or eight places in the East. ”

"Wang Feng is very strong, but the Cavaliers lineup is too scummy, except for Wang Feng, there is not even an All-Star, and even Poole, Bane, and Otto Jr., who started in the preseason. Porter is a substitute rotation player for other teams, how can this squad play so well in the regular season? ”

All in all, most people aren't optimistic that the Cavaliers will have a good performance.

And Wang Feng is already gearing up, and he can't wait for the regular season to come, and he will slap the faces of these guys!

Unlike them, he has a lot of confidence in the strength of the Cavaliers in the new season.

This set of the strongest lineup without All-Stars has strong competitiveness in the East, not to mention Wang Feng, a monster with a total rating of 99.

Don't forget, Wang Feng has activated the two core badges of the organizational core and the defensive core, and these two core cards can even forcibly raise the strength of the players of the Huaguo men's basketball team to a higher level, not to mention these NBA-level players?

Wang Feng even felt that with the blessing of the core of the organization and the ten-cent badge, like Jordan. Both Poole and Bane could have a chance to be All-Star selected.

Therefore, if you want a system mission, this season is the best opportunity, and if you fail to do it, wait until next season, and the current lineup of the Cavaliers may not meet the conditions for the system upgrade mission.

……

On October 20, the preseason season will be over, and on October 26, the regular season of the NBA2021-22 season will officially begin.

And before the start of the regular season, there was another big event that caught everyone's eye.

The 2021-22 season is the 75th anniversary of the NBA, and to commemorate the 75th anniversary, the league will officially select the 75 greatest superstars in NBA history by combining the media, current and retired players, coaches, general managers and team management.

The 75 superstars will be officially recognized as the 75 greatest basketball players in no particular order.

On October 22, the league officially announced the list of players in the top 75.

Wang Feng's name appeared on the list of the top 75 superstars without any suspense, and caused heated discussions.

After all, although the official 75th National Congress of the alliance specially indicated that the rankings were in no particular order in order to avoid war, this did not prevent the majority of melon-eating people from reverie on their own.

In the current league status rankings, Joe is still the undisputed No. 1, with six championships and FMVPs, five regular season MVPs, and ten scoring titles.

The second-place roster is quite controversial, with most people generally believing that Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar, who also has six championships, six regular season MVPs, and is the all-time scorer, is the second-most all-time.

However, some people believe that Wang Feng, who also has six championships and has four consecutive regular season MVPs, has completely caught up with Abdul-Jabbar, while James also has the qualification to compete for second place in history by relying on three championships and four regular season MVPs, as well as a long, stable and efficient career performance.

In the case of different arguments, Abdul-Jabbar still has a slight upper hand, after all, the gold content of Wang Feng's first three championships is slightly insufficient in the eyes of many people, and the number of James championships is a bit small.

As for the third to sixth, it is Wang Feng, James, Magic Johnson and Lord of the Rings Bill Russell.

I have to admit that although James is full of black spots and extremely controversial, he can always occupy a high position in the media in terms of personal honors such as historical rankings.

Even if the fourth championship that should have been won by the Lakers is still far away because of the butterfly effect, it still has the reputation of competing for the best in history.

It's just that this ranking is obviously very dissatisfied with James himself.

Durant sees Wang Feng as the nemesis of his career, and the same idea applies to James.

He has worked hard in the league for more than ten years, but he is not as good as a hairy boy who has played less than seven seasons, and the number of MVPs in the regular season is comparable, and the number of championships has been more than doubled by the opponent, and anyone will feel unhappy.

Wang Feng's birth directly affected James' great career.

But many James fans still can't hate Wang Feng, after all, James' most important championship, that is, the championship of the Cavaliers, was won with the help of Wang Feng.

It is reasonable that if there is no Wang Feng, it would be impossible for the knights with the triumvirate configuration to defeat the five-star warriors alone.

Of course, Zhan Huang has a lot of black fans, and there are also a lot of brain-dead fans, many of which are unreasonable, and can say that the white is black, Wang Feng assisted James to win the championship In their mouths, Wang Feng hugged James's thigh to get the championship, even if there is no Wang Feng Knights, they can win the championship.

In the face of such unreasonable brainless fans, there is no point in reasoning, and often a debate will soon become Zu'an's output, and the two sides begin to quarrel and abuse fiercely, so that they forget their original purpose.

In any case, at least in the evaluation of major local media in the United States, Wang Feng has relied on more than twice the number of championships won by James, and is firmly above James, including the efficient and luxurious data that James is proud of for more than ten years, which is also overshadowed in front of Wang Feng's exaggerated data of averaging triple-doubles and even 40+13+10 for two consecutive seasons.

Regarding the controversy of the 75 major, not only Wang Feng, James and other superstars, but also many other controversies, such as Lillard was elected to the 75 major, Howard, Maddy, Ginobili and others were not selected.

Brother Davis was not selected because he did not go to the Lakers to win the first championship of his career, but Westbrook benefited from it, and he should have been selected for the top 76 Westbrook should be directly squeezed out of the list because of Wang Feng's selection, but because of the loss of Brother Thick Eyebrow, it is still the same as another time and space, and he was also selected for the list of 76 superstars in the same way as the same vote.

Amid all the heated debates, the NBA finally ushered in the regular season opener of the 2021-22 season.

On October 26, 2021, the NBA regular season officially began.

The Lakers' first regular-season opener was against a modest opponent who finished bottom of the East last season, the Orlando Magic.

The Magic team was also unlucky last season, the bottom of the East and the second-to-last record in the league, but they only got a No. 5 pick, but the Cavaliers got the No. 3 pick and became an important bargaining chip to get Wang Feng in the trade.

Facing such a team that was even worse than the previous Cavaliers, the new Cavaliers did not have any pressure and struck hard at the Amway Arena in Orlando away, easily winning 112:94.

In the official debut game, Cavaliers head coach Bickerstaff continued to use the first set of offense-oriented small-ball tactical lineup provided by Wang Feng, that is, Wang Feng served as the team's starting power forward and Love served as the center.

In the first quarter alone, the Cavaliers' small-ball lineup used offense to crush the Magic.

Wang Feng scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, leading the Cavaliers to 34 points in the first quarter and establishing a double-digit lead.

In the next few quarters, the Cavaliers maintained their lead until the end of the game.

Wang Feng, who clocked out at the end of the third quarter, finally got 27 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists tepidly. Poole 23 points, Desmond. Bane scored 17 points, and Kevin. Love scored 18 points, and all six members of the Cavaliers scored double-doubles, and it was not too easy to win.

No one took the Cavaliers' first win to heart.

After all, with Wang Feng, who is recognized as the first person in the league, facing the Magic team that only won 22 wins last season, isn't it a matter of course to win?

But the next two games made people start to realize that something seemed to be wrong.

On Oct. 28, the Cavaliers won 110-99 at home against the Indiana Pacers.

On October 30, the Cavaliers faced the Chicago Bulls away and won 118-111 again, winning three in a row!
