The Cavaliers won another game without bloodshed. //// In their home fast loan center, facing the Minnesota Timberwolves who came from afar, the Cavaliers did not leave any opportunity for the opponent to take advantage of.
Finally, when the whistle sounded, they defeated the visiting opponent with a big score of 90:118.
Wu Dawei performed well enough on both ends of the offense and defense in this game. His data of 26 points, 12 rebounds, 5 blocks, 2 steals, and 6 assists made him look extremely versatile.
Whether it was offense or defense, Wu Dawei's performance ran through the entire game. Michael Beasley, who faced him, had a bold statement before the game and he only scored 18 points and 7 rebounds.
Such data is actually not much different from Beasley's average data, but he is still very frustrated because he admits that he was beaten up by Wu Dawei...
"But you won't be so lucky next time!"
After the game, Wu Dawei and Beasley had a brief conversation while walking off the court. It was just that Beasley's "threat" Wu Dawei never cared about his heart because...
"You said so the last time."
After winning the ball, Wu Dawei was in a good mood, so he naturally had to make fun of Beasley; but obviously Beasley was not in such a good mood. He knew that at this time, he would be easily angry and would be pissed off the court.
Wu Dawei naturally wanted to stay on the court and accept interviews from the scene. As the player who performed the best tonight, Wu Dawei was named the best player in this game. Not only did Wu Dawei get such an honor, but at least he has experienced it many times, so he is naturally very destined.
There are undoubtedly only a few questions about the on-site interview. Wu Dawei's answer is very old about the rhythm of the game, how to win the game, what kind of pre-match preparations have been made, etc.
Winning this game has improved the Cavaliers' record to 22 wins and 19 losses, while the Knicks, who are behind them, have 21 wins and 23 losses. The gradually widening gap is something that Cleveland people like.
Of course, the New Yorkers don't think so. So, after getting Cameron Anthony in the trade, they not only did not slow down the idea of continuing to perform surgery on the roster, but instead they were increasingly hoping to continue to introduce new players.
Especially in the point guard position, after buying out Billups' contract, the New Yorkers' desire for Chris Paul began to gradually reach an unprecedented level.
But the mess of the New Yorkers is not what Clevelanders should worry about now. All they are worried about is how to maintain the current momentum until the end of the regular season.
Of course, it would be better if we could go further. No one would want to move forward. People would go to the high places and water flowed to the low places.
The game is over, and the so-called opponents on the court are friends off the court. This sentence is the most appropriate thing to describe Wu Dawei and Beasley.
The day after the game, the Timberwolves had to do some rest in Cleveland, so the entire team was still in Cleveland. Beasley naturally wanted to come out to play. According to his personality, Ski was uncomfortable without moving.
Of course, one night of resentment from the game last night was naturally difficult to eliminate. Especially Beasley felt that he was very embarrassed last night because he had promised to beat Wu Dawei in front of the beauty of Raflin. But the reality was completely reversed. Beasley no longer hoped that his performance would win the hearts of the beautiful woman with such a embarrassed performance. Of course, he could not be so willing to let Wu Dawei perform perfectly in front of the beautiful woman.
Since I can't get into a single shot, I'll be this messenger!
"Hey Wu, to be honest, you're in such a good state recently, is it because of Emma Roberts's chick?"
When everyone gathered for dinner in a Chinese restaurant, Beasley suddenly started a conversation. Suddenly, Ramon Sessions and others showed resentment. There was a sexy and enchanting shu girl sitting next to her, and there was a pure and lovely beautiful woman far away in Los Angeles. How come all the good things in the world were taken over by this guy!
Everyone's expression of indignation was naturally attracted by Laflin.
"Emma Roberts?" Raflin showed a curious expression, and Beasley became excited and said to Raflin: "What, Miss Raflin, don't you know that our big star likes Roberts very much? Ramon told me that he even asked someone for a phone call."
"Yes, yes! I can testify!"
"So can I!"
"Well...and me..."
Almost everyone on the dining table raised their hands, and obviously, no one wanted to miss this topic.
"I don't know that you have such a relationship with Emma." Raflin's surprise was obvious. Because she had not paid much attention to Wu Dawei's private life, this was the first time she heard this news. But the more important aspect was that she knew Emma's aunt Julia Roberts.
Laflin's words made Wu Dawei a little embarrassed. Of course, it was not because he had any thoughts about Laflin, but because he didn't know how to tell one woman about her admiration for another woman...
Beasley was an annoying idea, and the impression left in Wu Dawei's heart became deeper and deeper after the meal.
Fortunately, Beasley had no intention of staying in Cleveland for a long time... the next day, he followed the team to the destination of the next game. Beasley's departure also made Wu Dawei's days begin to become more leisurely, of course, that was relative to going out to play.
Wu Dawei began to shift most of his energy to training. His outstanding performance this season made Wu Dawei understand the importance of persisting in training and ensuring that training a strong team is in the game state.
During this period, the situation in the league is still changing every day. The transfer gate has not been closed, which makes many players on the team panic. No one knows who will be the next person to leave, but no one will like the news that they are suddenly notified to leave the current city.
Therefore, most players will try their best in the game at this time, in order to perform well and change their minds.
Of course, Wu Dawei is naturally not in this ranks. As a young player who has fully exploded with strong abilities this season, Wu Dawei is definitely a life-saving straw in the Cavaliers, a team that has just lost its core player in the summer.
Therefore, the Cavaliers will never change the idea of trading Wu Dawei in any case. On the contrary, the Cavaliers will make all their efforts and homework to complete the renewal of Wu Dawei this summer.
After listening to Wu Dawei's opinion, Dan Ferry found the team's coach Byron Scott. Of course, he was discussing whether Billups was the player Scott needed, and discussing the current situation of other players in the team.
Obviously, Scott clearly expressed his agreement to introduce Billups. Although Billups is old, his shooting ability at critical moments, his tactical execution ability and his back-to-single ability at low posts are all urgently needed by the Cavaliers. And most importantly, Billups has countless playoff experience!
This is also indispensable for the current Cavaliers, although half of the players in the Cavaliers are in LeBron and James Times have followed the team to compete in many playoff games, including the Finals.
However, the playoff experience of role players and key players is incomparable to the team!
So, after being recognized by the head coach, General Manager Ferry immediately began to pursue Billups' actions. Although Billups was unable to join any team in the league within a month after he was bought out.
But which team won't make any small moves behind their backs, such as contacting Billups in advance to discuss the possibility of joining and the details of the contract with him. After all, the situation is close to the water and getting in touch with him means a greater opportunity.
Unfortunately, Ferry was treated coldly for his first invitation. Obviously, Billups was not very interested in joining the Cavaliers. Maybe he still prefers to play in Denver, but because he had some unpleasantness with Denver senior executives before being traded, Billups' chances of returning to Denver are also very slim.
Fortunately, Ferry was mentally prepared for the rebate. As a team general manager, he had already made preparations for emergency needs before he invited Billups.
Billups is the team's important contract renewal this summer. Wu Dawei named the person he wanted. Naturally, Ferry would not give up on the plan to introduce Billups. After all, people's intentions are not always so firm.
In addition to Billups, the Cavaliers have other goals. After all, the team still has many shortcomings. After losing LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal and Ilgoskas this summer, the Cavaliers not only lack a strong core player, but also become empty in the interior.
Although they also have Brazilian Valaijo and the ** Hickson who has gradually grown up this season, such an inside line is obviously far from enough.
Ferry already had several candidates in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to contact the team because he still wanted to get a result from Billups first. If the team really successfully introduced Billups, it would not only be an additional core point guard for the team. At the same time, Billups' arrival will undoubtedly squeeze the appearance share of other defenders in the team, and some people will become unnecessary.
In this way, they will also have an important chip in the trading market and hold it in their hands. No matter from any perspective, this chip will undoubtedly be the team's star point guard Morris Williams!
Although this Eastern Conference All-Star guard's performance this season has declined compared to last season, his youthful age and not-so-bad contracts will make him a relatively high-quality bargaining chip in the hands of the Cavaliers (to be continued.
