310. Evolution
After returning to Cleveland, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not get much rest time. After all, the second half of the season is much more tense than the first half of the season, not only the atmosphere of the entire league, but also the schedule is also shown in this way.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they returned to Cleveland, they did not get too long rest time. Gone are the days when they took three or four days off like the first half of the season, and the next schedule will be a very difficult journey.
If the Cleveland Cavaliers want to return to the top of the Eastern Conference, they must complete it under such circumstances. Of course, this will become a big difficulty for them, because it is simply a journey of self-abuse.
But despite this, if the Cleveland Cavaliers want to have a good performance in the upcoming playoffs in more than a month, they must perform enough to convince people.
If you can get a better ranking before the end of the regular season, it will of course be of great help to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the future playoffs.
So after 10 consecutive victories, he returned to Cleveland. The team's head coach Byron Scott still asked the players not to relax and to continue to treat every game he would die in the next game with the serious attitude he had before. No matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, he would not relax or underestimate the enemy.
After all, every game next will have a huge impact on the Cleveland Cavaliers' record this season. They must strive for victory in every game, not just to win the competition with super strong teams. The Cleveland Cavaliers have done a good job so far, but they cannot be considered very outstanding. At least their performance in the game against the New York Knicks is not overwhelming.
Of course, this is also the reason why the New Yorkers are currently in excellent condition and strength, but this cannot be an excuse for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Teams that want to win the championship are not won by making excuses!
In addition to taking the dialogue with super strong teams seriously, the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot be careless at this time. The competitions with weak teams are even more difficult, because if these victories that must be won are not able to win due to carelessness, it will be a big blow for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have 23 games left in the season. At this critical moment, especially the Cleveland Cavaliers hope to go further in the ranking, this will definitely be a big blow!
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers not only need to pay attention to the competition between the super strong teams, but also cannot ignore the games with the weak teams. Especially after returning to Cleveland, the Cavaliers are preparing to welcome these so-called relatively weak teams in the next few games...
After returning to Cleveland for two days to rest, the Cleveland Cavaliers ushered in their first home game. Michael Beasley's old club visited the Speed Loan Center for the first time this season. This game is just an ordinary regular season game for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Judging from the current gap in strength and condition between the two sides, it is obvious that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win this game easily; but for Michael Beasley, this game is of great significance.
Michael Beasley is still worried about the Minnesota Timberwolves abandoned him last summer. He originally thought he would be the Timberwolves' future plan, but obviously the situation was not the case at all. This made him feel that he was deceived, so of course he would feel like he was going to take revenge at this time.
Before the game started, the team's head coach Byron Scott announced after a training class that the team was preparing to play a small lineup in this game.
This was not a sudden decision, because on the plane back to Cleveland from New York, the team's head coach Byron Scott took the initiative to approach Wu Dawei and asked him about his thoughts about playing No. 4 position in the game against the New York Knicks.
Wu Dawei's feelings about this are still very good. Before this game, Wu Dawei had not played as a power forward. At last year's Olympics, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Bob Deng Huade, also used Wu Dawei to play as a power forward again and again.
Wu Dawei played easily at the No. 4 position. Although the rules of fiba and NBA are different, Wu Dawei also played against first-class power forwards in the league in the Olympics and was not weak at a disadvantage.
Although if Wu Dawei wants to play power forward, his height of 203 cm will make him suffer, his tonnage will not suffer. At the same time, his more agile skills will also allow the Cleveland Cavaliers to make more and greater changes on both offense and defense, and will also make the team's tactics more changeable!
The reason why Byron Scott had this idea was inspired by the use of Cameron Anthony by the New York Knicks, and he had discovered that when Wu Dawei and Michael Beasley partnered with the forward line, the team's impact could also become more outstanding at the same time.
All of this is the reason why Byron Scott wants to make a change, so after he had such an idea, he immediately came to Wu Dawei, the core of the team, and wanted to hear his opinion. Wu Dawei's view on this is of course in favor of both hands!
Because for him, this was not a very difficult transformation. Because he played very comfortably in the fourth position and did not feel bound at all. Moreover, the team's head coach Byron Scott did not ask Wu Dawei to go to the inside to play back-single more after playing the fourth position, and still maintained his previous style of playing.
After Wu Dawei plays the fourth position, the team can also allow the inside core Dwight Howard to have more personal space in the paint area. This can also give Dwight Howard more opportunities to display!
This is also a good choice for the team. After the team moved Wu Dawei from No. 3 to No. 4, the original power forward player Andre Valacho, who started the team, naturally, was going to sit on the bench. Regarding this, when Byron Scot's characteristics received Wu Dawei's approval, he immediately came to Brazilian Andre Valacho.
Byron Scott and Valazzo had an in-depth personal conversation, of course, in order to hope that the Brazilians could accept such an arrangement. Of course, Byron Scott would also guarantee that this would not touch Valazzo's personal interests, and he would still become the most important member of the team!
And when Byron Scott convinced Andre Varacho, he naturally wanted to fill the team's third position. Varacho would definitely not play in the starting lineup. As a pure inside player, he could only swing in the fourth and fifth positions. It would be a pain to let him do the outside work.
In this way, the best candidate is of course Michael Beasley, the team introduced last summer! On this point, Byron Scott did not discuss with Michael Beasley, and he directly informed Michael Beasley that the team will experiment with a new lineup in the next home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and he will become the starter.
Of course, Michael Beasley would not disagree with this. When he learned the news, the ecstasy in his heart was difficult for ordinary people to understand, and in this game where he regained the starting qualification, it was a game against his old club, the Minnesota Timberwolves!
This made him extremely excited! For Michael Beasley, he definitely hoped to have a very outstanding performance in this game, because in this way, he would have the opportunity to complete revenge on his old club!
This is the idea that has been buried in his heart after Michael Beasley was traded again! And now, he has the opportunity to realize such an idea again. This season, the Cleveland Cavaliers had already played against the Timberwolves at the home target center of the Minnesota Timberwolves. That time the Cleveland Cavaliers won the game, and Michael Beasley's personal performance was also good. However, this did not satisfy Michael Beasley. He hoped that he could have a more exciting performance.
Just like when he played 40 points in a single game last season when he represented the Timberwolves at the Miami Heat's home court. Only then did Michael Beasley feel that it was a revenge! He wanted those who abandoned him to know what an outstanding player they abandoned!
And becoming the starting player in this game undoubtedly gives Michael Beasley more possibilities! It also makes him more confident in the next home game with the Minnesota Timberwolves!
In the last game against the New York Knicks, Michael Beasley played for 29 minutes, and scored 15 points and 7 rebounds. Since Wu Dawei's return, Michael Beasley's efficiency has risen sharply. His current condition is also very good, so he feels very excited and looking forward to the next game!
And those who are equally excited and expectant are team head coach Byron Scott! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
