186. Competitions in December

The Cleveland Cavaliers are still at the home speed loan center in Game 19 of the new season, and their opponent is the Portland Trail Blazers in the West.

A team that has been destroyed countless times by injuries is very similar to the current situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers. If it weren't for Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard's injury, the Cleveland Cavaliers wouldn't have just achieved a record of 6 wins and 12 losses, ranking ninth in the East...

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in a bad situation now, but the situation of their opponents that night is not much better than that of them. The Portland Trail Blazers used to have a great chance to rise, but they were completely ruined by injuries.

Now the Portland Trail Blazers’ record after playing 18 games is not much better than the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they only achieved a record of 7 wins and 11 losses, ranking 12th in the West!

Due to the overall situation of strong West and weak East, the Portland Trail Blazers are better than the Cleveland Cavaliers, but in terms of ranking in the division league, they are worse than the Cleveland Cavaliers!

This is what many Western Conference teams often complain about, because in the West you want to enter the playoffs, you not only have to defeat more and more outstanding opponents, but also have much more competition than the Eastern Conference!

Because in the East, when you reach the bottom line of the playoffs, you often don’t need to even have a winning rate of more than half, but in the West, there are many teams that have won 48 games in 82 games in the season and are all turned away...

However, it is obvious that the alliance does not want to change the current idea of ​​such a partition alliance, so although there are many people complaining, it will not have any impact on the current situation.

This game will be the 19th game of the Cleveland Cavaliers this season and will be the first game after Byron Scott's expulsion crisis, so of course he will hope to win a good lottery.

I hope the team can go against the current in the dilemma, and the events will become more intensive as December enters, although this is definitely unfavorable news. But Byron Scott still hopes that the team can stop the decline at this time.

Before Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard returned, no matter how troubled Byron Scott was, he knew that he could only rely on the group of players under his command now.

Although he has not yet figured out any good way to effectively and promptly curb the team's decline, time is not waiting for anyone, so he can only take one step at a time.

However, what Michael Beasley said to himself after the training class before the start of this game tonight made Byron Scott think.

However, although Michael Beasley took the initiative to express his opinion to himself, Byron Scott did not let Michael Beasley start the game for the first time in the regular season this season.

Byron Scott still continued his previous starting lineup. Although the team's veteran was also the starting point guard Chauncey Billups of last season, he did not start in the game tonight. The team's starting point guard candidate is still Kyrie Irving, who performed well this season.

After his comeback, Chauncey Billups accepted the role of substitute with peace of mind. This is the benefit of the old players. Byron Scott was very pleased that the old players knew better than ordinary impetuous young people.

Billups did not force himself to play as the starting player, but accepted the current role of substitute with peace of mind. Although Byron Scott told Billups that it was temporary, everything depends on what the situation will be next.

If Kyrie Irving can continue to perform like this, then Byron Scott will not easily get him back to the bench. However, Chauncey Billups will definitely not be abandoned by Byron Scott. Although he is old and cannot do anything, he is unable to do anything. But if he has an old man in the family, his role in the playoffs will definitely rise by geometric multiples!

So although the team actually has the second point guard Ramon Sessions, Billups will not be abandoned anyway.

The Cleveland Cavaliers still use their starting lineup since the beginning of the new season, and the Portland Trail Blazers are the same. The starting lineup led by Lamarcus Aldridge is built around the Portland Trail Blazers in recent years.

Although there have been many changes, Aldridge has become the core of this team that seems to be plagued by the curse.

Although the Portland Trail Blazers have suffered repeated injuries in recent years, they are currently in a complete lineup. In contrast, the current lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the champion of last season, is extremely incomplete.

So for this game, the Portland Trail Blazers also came with the idea of ​​winning, and took your life while you are sick. Everyone understands and understands this principle. Without Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard's Cleveland Cavaliers' strength, you can see some clues with 6 wins and 12 losses.

In the weak East, the Cleveland Cavaliers can only achieve such results. There is no doubt that in the eyes of the Portland Trail Blazers, they are almost the same even if they are not soft persimmons...

This seems inevitable that it makes people feel a bit sad. After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers were the league champion and the final winner in the last season; but a few months later, as soon as the new season started, they immediately transformed into a role similar to the league's ATM...

Although there are the injuries of the two core players Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, in most people's eyes, the weak Cleveland Cavaliers now means weak strength, and there is nothing to say.

Who cares about why you have changed so much...

When the game started, although it was played at the home speed loan center of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the situation still turned to Portland...

The Trail Blazers quickly gained the lead, and they quickly defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers who were playing at home on the court. This situation is obviously not optimistic.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, their performance is very different from their performance a year ago. At that time, they started the ten consecutive games, and they were defeated by their opponents almost every game. They felt they wanted to win firmly when they played just one game. Now, as the game just started, people immediately felt that the Cleveland Cavaliers were hanging by the line again in this game...

Such a situation will of course make the team's head coach Byron Scott sitting on the sidelines feel extremely anxious, but he still has no way to do this. But of course, it is impossible for the only one to be anxious, Byron Scott, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard are still sitting at the end of the bench in this game.

However, compared to the opening, they were able to chat with others. At this moment, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard's wrinkled folds on their faces were no longer clearly counted...

Michael Beasley, who was sitting next to Wu Dawei, also had the same expression. He still did not get the opportunity to start in this game. Although he was unwilling to do so, after more than a month of the start of the game, he also knew that it was basically impossible for him to become the team's starter at once...

Just imagine a small forward who averages 8 points per game, but not 18 points. It is really impossible to make the team's head coach trust him immediately and push himself into the starting lineup just by just one statement...

After Wu Dawei said such a big word with Michael Beasley seriously, Michael Beasley could certainly listen to it. Although he is indeed a bit confused, he is still very good at distinguishing it.

So although he still had to start from the bench tonight, Michael Beasley had more patience than before. He was waiting for the head coach's call, and Wu Dawei, who was also anxious at this time, seemed powerless.

At this time, he was still a little envious of Michael Beasley. No matter what, he was able to play games, but he couldn't do anything because of his injury and could only sit off the court...

This also allowed Wu Dawei to learn a truth, that is, he must protect his body. The body is the capital of revolution. The saying is nothing wrong, otherwise he could only sit off the court like he is now, how frustrating it would be!

It's like I can't use it all over my body, but this feeling is extremely bad...

At this moment, Wu Dawei swore that he would never choose to play with injuries so easily next time. If it weren't for the doctor who insisted on playing with injuries in the Olympics, Wu Dawei would basically not be absent from such a long time as he has now.

When Wu Dawei heard that he had to rest for so long, he felt itchy from his bones. Especially in the current situation where the Cleveland Cavaliers performed very poorly, Wu Dawei's idea of ​​returning became even more vigorous. (To be continued...)
