56. War of words

On November 12, this is the second day for the Cavaliers to reach Detroit. After a day of rest, they come to Auburn Hills Palace and will compete with the Detroit Pistons tonight.

The two teams met in the playoffs last year. The Cavaliers easily swept the Detroit Pistons in the first round under the leadership of "Little Emperor" LeBron James.

Now both teams have a new look, but their strength has declined significantly compared to last year. Since the Pistons traded Billups, they have completely lost the tough momentum of entering the division finals for eight consecutive times; not to mention the Cavaliers, who were still champions last season, have become the bottom of the people's mouths.

Even though they are now ranked eighth in the East with a record of 5 wins and 4 losses, they still cannot escape the fate of being despised. Because people firmly believe that the Cavaliers will eventually reveal his true face as the season deepens.

Fighting for the No. 1 pick next season is the real destination of this team this season.

But the Cavaliers players and coaching staff do not want to be part of a team that is bad. No one can tolerate endless failures because it will gradually get lost and even eventually fall into depravity.

Perhaps the Washington Wizards, which are in trouble in the past few seasons, is the best example. This team that once played a major role in the East during the peak of Arenas has become the birthplace of jokes.

Javier McGee's "worry" IQ has made a lot of jokes, and the failure of the new No. 1 pick John Wall to lead the team out of the mud pond makes people sweat for him. You know, at his age, it is the easiest thing to get lost in a team that seems to have rotten even its roots.

So, in the game against the Detroit Pistons that night, the Cavaliers tried their best after seeing the dawn of victory.

The two sides were evenly matched in the first quarter. Prince Ji, who was trained by the Pistons in recent years, unexpectedly did not score his stunning epic hit rate. Instead, he made three shots from outside the three-point line, which became an important reason why the Pistons were not pulled away by the Cavaliers in the first quarter.

However, in the second quarter, he was "exposed" and Rodney Starkey, who made 0 of 4 shots, did not resist the impact of the Cavaliers' substitute lineup on the game in the second quarter. The Cavaliers also used this to make a 8-0 climax and finally entered the second half with an advantage of 8 points.

The team was behind in the score and looked lifeless. When Wu Dawei and other Cavaliers players returned to the Auburn Mountain Palace Arena, they suddenly realized that the stands, which were already deserted, were at the point of being deserted.

Scattered fans were scattered in every corner of the stadium, but they didn't seem to be cheering for the Pistons. Because in the second half, when the Pistons scored a goal, the Auburn Mountain Palace was still deserted.

It even made him feel more deserted than when the visiting team Cleveland Cavaliers scored. At least after the Cleveland Cavaliers scored, there would be a small cheer in the stadium. Tonight, some Chinese fans appeared in the Auburn Mountain Palace Arena. Of course, they were not here to cheer for the Cavaliers, but for Wu Dawei, a compatriot in the motherland.

Perhaps it was the cheering of his compatriots. In the end, in this unsurprising game, Wu Dawei scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 steal. While the Cavaliers also won two consecutive away games, they continued to consolidate their eighth position in the East and have tied their record with the seventh place.

Although the Cavaliers were not as amazing as they had won four consecutive victories at this time, their record of 6 wins and 4 losses still surprised many people. Because before the start of this season, everyone felt that the Cavaliers were absolutely hopeless in the playoffs this season.

Although the current ranking is not enough to say everything, after all, there are 82 games in the entire season, and the middle and final stages of the season are the critical time to compete for next year's playoff qualification. However, a glimpse of the Cavaliers' current state can still make people realize that this is not a team that everyone is bullied.

However, criticism is still inevitable.

The Akron Lighthouse is not like Cleveland's sports media at all, because they acted like a scammer whore in the season when LeBron James left, constantly slamming the Cavaliers and his players on large pages of their newspapers.

"Although the Cavaliers have escaped the trouble of three consecutive losses and have won consecutive victories recently, the schedule is difficult to believe that such a performance is not a flash in the pan. In the Cavaliers' Eleven games in the new season, they have not encountered a truly strong team except for the Denver Nuggets."

This article was signed by James Matthews, and at the end it said something that looked more like a complaint:

Wu Dawei, a new member of the Cavaliers this season, contributed 15 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 blocks and 2 steals during the two consecutive victories. The data is so beautiful that it is not the same level as the three-game losing streak. So through the observation of these more than ten games, I discovered a rule, that is, whenever the Cavaliers win, Wu Dawei can always produce good data, but when the team fails, he disappears like an invisible person. So we have to have such a doubt, whether he can only add icing on the cake to the team's victory, but cannot help save the team's failure! But the most surprising thing is that such a flashy player dares to laugh at James's great achievements in this league!

In fact, the reason for this last complaint was entirely because of the seeds planted by Wu Dawei in an interview in the locker room after the Pistons game.

When James Matthews' face that hated Wu Dawei appeared in front of him and explained to him James' response to him: I don't know who this girl is at all, Wu Dawei said with a cold face: I don't need him to know him.

Then this sentence was slightly modified by James Matthews. Before the Heat game started the next day, he turned to LeBron James: Wu Dawei said that his success does not need to be confirmed.

"Success?" At this time, the good engine oil Wade, who was standing beside James, stood up and said with a smile: "I have been teammates with Wu Dawei for a year, and I have never seen him have any success..."

Then LeBron James looked snuggled, and the woman sang and said with a smile: "Didn't you tell the Lun family that he is very diligent in running errands..."
