301. Confidant
The Cavaliers came to Miami early a few days before the playoffs. Although this is conducive to the Cleveland Cavaliers preparing for the first round of the playoffs, the lives of the Cavaliers' players in the past few days have become quite monotonous.
After all, this is Miami, not Cleveland, and most players' life circles, friends and family are not Miami, so after training in Miami these few days, the Cavaliers players have almost no spare time.
Such a life is definitely quite dull for professional players who are used to being indulging in luxury every night. However, most players still have no complaints. After all, the battle is imminent, and it is not a good thing to be too relaxed.
"As we all know, the Cleveland Cavaliers flew to Miami on April 19 to prepare for the first round of the 2011 playoffs. We all know that this round of the series is the most popular round of all the first round of the playoffs this year. So what do you think about this round of the series?"
Before the 2011 NBA playoffs kicked off, big TV stations such as TNT and ESPN will do some special reports on the first round of the playoffs, inviting some leading sports commentators and comment experts to the program site, and discuss various forms of the playoffs with the host, which has become a certain model.
Because fans are happy to see these programs, everyone has their favorite teams, so they will naturally feel worried about the prospects of their favorite teams in the playoffs, and then subconsciously find evidence from others that their favorite teams have a bright future in the playoffs. In this way, these programs have audiences.
Of course, there are 16 teams entering the playoffs in one year, and there are many matchups with obvious differences in strength and weakness. Therefore, this type of program often may not satisfy everyone. Therefore, when directors choose topics, they usually ask the host to choose more popular topics to discuss.
For example, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat will encounter in the first round of this year's playoffs.
"Anyway, I only know that this round of the series will make a big profit with David Stern and his entertainment league!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, Charles Barkley couldn't wait to express his opinion, which was more like complaining than a opinion. This was always the style of Charles Barkley, but after complaining, after discovering that his cold jokes seemed to have really made the recording scene unstoppable, Barkley became serious and said: "Actually, this is a very interesting round of matchup..."
"You mean it makes David Stern feel very interesting? Just because he will make a big profit in this playoff round?"
Barkley was about to justify himself, but he was ridiculed by his partner Kenny Smith, who was also invited to serve as a guest tonight. He glared at Smith, and then continued: "You know that this summer, the Cavaliers made a deal with the Miami Heat, and LeBron James signed first and then exchanged for the Miami Heat. With Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, they formed the terrifying Miami Three."
Although Barkley has always been a lie with the three giants formed by Miami, when he expressed his views seriously, Barkley was still relatively objective.
"Then, the Cavaliers got a huge deal exception from the Miami people, as well as two first-round picks in the future, and one player. We all know that in this transaction, the big head of the Miami people was the huge deal exception, which would put huge pressure on them in funds. The two future first-round picks sent will also make it more difficult for the Miami Heat to replenish fresh blood in the next two years! How to look at this deal, all Miami people made a lot of money! Because they were the ones who had the knife from the Cleveland people were LeBron James Ye! Mr. MVP who has been in the league for two consecutive years in the past two years!"
"But after the start of this season, people found that Miami people actually lost more than money. While they got a top-level player, they missed another top-level player! And Wu Dawei is 6 years younger than LeBron James! He is only 21 years old this year, but he is already the league's steal and blocking king this season! He can contribute 18 points and 10 rebounds per game to the team, and even send nearly 6 assists in each game! He is also an All-Star player in the East District League this year! And in the All-Star Game, he broke the league's steal record decades ago in just half a game!"
"I mean, if the Miami Heat can't get through the first round of this year, then the deal they made last summer would be a complete failure!"
"interesting."
After Barkley said that, Kenny Smith couldn't wait to interfere: "I don't agree with Charles' statement, because the Cleveland Cavaliers don't just have Wu Dawei, they also have Chauncey Billups and Chris Carman. These two players are extremely important in the Cavaliers' team today!"
"Then why don't you say that in addition to LeBron James, there are Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh? It doesn't matter how many important players there are in a team. What matters is that Wu Dawei and LeBron James are the new leaders of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat today! Whoever can lead his team through the first round is the stronger person! We can tell whether the transactions made by the Miami people last summer were made or lost!"
"According to me, if the Miami Heat can't sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-0, then the transaction they made last summer would be a loss. You should know that in order to get LeBron James, in addition to giving Wu Dawei a rare genius in a thousand years, they also paid a 16 million deal exception and two first-round draft picks!"
As soon as Barkley said this, the audience was in an uproar.
"Oh Charles, you're not going to live for Miami people..."
In an ESPN program, Charles Barkley supported Wu Dawei, and the high standards of the Miami Heat were really surprising. But if you think about it carefully, the price the Miami Heat paid to get LeBron James now seems to be a bit too big.
After all, Wu Dawei has grown up, which has changed drastically from when he was in Miami a year ago. The Cavaliers lost only one LeBron James, but now they have a young genius who has never been at a disadvantage when they face LeBron James in the regular season, as well as a 16 million trade special and two future first-round draft picks!
From this perspective, the Cleveland Cavaliers suddenly changed from a joke last summer to the most enviable team this year. No team's luck would be better than the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even the Los Angeles Lakers robbed Paul Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies in 2008, the deal was far worse than this time.
"Although losing Wu Dawei last summer was indeed a loss for the Miami Heat. But we also got LeBron James, the most outstanding player in the league today! No matter how the outside world slandered James or how to raise Wu Dawei's net worth, it is impossible to argue that LeBron James is still the best player in the league today! LeBron James can contribute 27 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game to the team in the regular season this season! I think every Miami fan will believe that such an outstanding LeBron James will definitely be able to lead the Miami Heat back to the supreme glory of 2006!"
Just after Charles Barkley made a big fuss on the TV show on ESPN and joked that the Miami Heat caused an uproar, Sandley Richardson, a reporter from the Florida Sentinel, hurriedly posted an article to support LeBron James.
After all, no matter what that said, LeBron James is now the core player of the Miami Heat. No matter how outstanding Wu performed this season, it has nothing to do with the Miami Heat, because he is a player of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although he was once a member of the Miami Heat, there are even rumors that Heat President Pat Riley has plans to bring Wu Dawei back to the American Airlines Center this summer, but now, Wu Dawei is the enemy of the Miami Heat, the key point is!
As the first round of collision is about to happen, Wu Dawei is a major concern for Miami people!
When the Cavaliers came to Miami in advance to prepare for the first round of playoffs, the Miami Heat, which will be able to enjoy home advantage due to their advantage in record, is also working hard to prepare for the game.
LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh are very expectant and cautious about the first playoff trip they have together. They formed their ideal lineup in the summer. You should know that in today's society, it is difficult to plan according to their ideals. There will be too many obstacles in reality and become stumbling blocks on their ideals. Therefore, they have finally realized their ideal team formation now, so the next step is to continue to move forward according to their former ideals in the playoffs.
And they will face their first opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers, on the evening of the 23rd. They are naturally very familiar with this team, Miami players who have lost to the Clevelanders four times this season.
Of course, LeBron James and others do not think that the Heat's strength will be inferior to the Cavaliers. The huge gap in the record between the two sides can tell the problem. However, whenever the Cavaliers meet the Heat, the entire Cleveland team can always burst into extremely outstanding form! Especially Wu Dawei, who averaged 23 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks per game to the Cavaliers in four games with the Miami Heat in the regular season stage of this season!
Such an all-round performance is a major concern for Miami people!
