189. Things get better
The Cleveland Cavaliers' schedule in December is still dense, which is certainly not a good thing for them, but they still have to bite the bullet and finish these games.
Given the team's current winning rate, everyone doesn't know what the Cleveland Cavaliers' performance will become after playing in December, but it won't be said that their performance is no longer a drop...
However, after losing to the Portland Trail Blazers at home, the Cleveland Cavaliers felt a little brighter in the next game. The good news came frequently, at least the frequency was much more frequent than in November before!
After losing to the Portland Trail Blazers, the Cleveland Cavaliers took a day off in Cleveland, and soon welcomed another opponent. This time, the Charlotte Bobcats, which can be said to be one of the several teams in the league that specially sends warmth...
So far, this boss is Michael Jordan's team's record is 4 wins and 18 losses, which is a terrible scene. After playing 22 games, he only won 4 games. It is really a fate to compete for the No. 1 pick every year...
However, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not much better than the Charlotte Bobcats. They have played 19 games so far, but they are only 6 wins and 13 losses...
However, these two more games won make the Cleveland Cavaliers ranked much higher than the Charlotte Bobcats...
It also shows that the competition for the last few positions in the East District Alliance is also very fierce...
However, although the gap in record is not big, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers are full of confidence and even confident in this game to be played at home.
Because the opponent is the Charlotte Bobcats. The biggest bottom in the league in recent years. The Cleveland Cavaliers have almost never lost to them since Wu Dawei joined.
In the confrontation in recent seasons, the Cleveland Cavaliers have won every battle!
These are the players and coaches of the Cleveland Cavaliers. For them, facing the Charlotte Bobcats is undoubtedly the best game to curb their decline.
Although they are very down and out now, they are still very confident in defeating a perennial fish like the Charlotte Bobcats. When this game started, things did not deviate from the track.
Although the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers this season was shocking, they proved with practical actions that the lean camel is bigger than the horse. Especially when facing the Charlotte Bobcats, the Cleveland Cavaliers made them see what the background is...
The Cavaliers still haven't changed their starting lineup. Although the team's head coach Byron Scott has a clear mind about Michael Beasley, it is not so quick and easy to make him make a decision.
After all, Michael Beasley is a player with a lot of past records. If Byron Scott believed him so, then he would have lived in this world for so many years in vain...
The Cavaliers still used their starting lineup since the beginning of this season, but when the game started, they changed their appearance and took the lead all at once, and naturally established a leading advantage.
This season, with Wu Dawei, Dwight Howard and Chauncey Billups missing, the team's official starting point guard Kyrie Irving continued his highlight performance.
At the beginning, he scored 8 points in a row, showing the potential of a superstar, and also letting the general manager of the team, Dan Ferry, who was sitting on the sidelines, nodded frequently, which was worthy of his use of the first pick in the first round to bring him to Cleveland.
Dan Ferry believes that as long as Kyrie Irving can continue to play like this, the team's dream of forming the Big Three is not empty talk!
After the Bostonians formed the Big Three in 2008, the league launched a round of X-Giants. Many teams like the super luxurious lineup. The Miami Heat is obviously the best among them. Naturally, the Cleveland Cavaliers are no exception. Although they already had two first-class super stars, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, no one would dislike the many super stars in the team.
Although forming the Big Three will put the team in a huge salary space, after the team won the first championship trophy in team history last season, Daniel Gilbert, the always stingy team boss, was abnormal at this time and said that it would be okay to spend more money.
But the premise is to be able to compete for the championship like last season. Anyway, it is necessary to have a very high exposure rate to Daniel. The reason why Gilbert lets go of money is that in addition to winning the championship last season, the team also has a surge in exposure, and off-field income is also rolling.
Even surpassed the LeBron James era, so this is why Daniel Gilbert was able to make up his mind to make the team spend more money in order to retain the current championship team
The Cleveland Cavaliers rely on Kyrie Irving's outstanding performance in the opening game and quickly established a leading advantage, and then they did not quickly let such a leading advantage fall into the hands of others.
The Charlotte Bobcats have been sluggish since Larry Brown was fired, but their decay is reasonable. They played like a group of high school students.
Everyone seemed to want to be the savior, and they were basically deducted when they got the ball...
The Cleveland Cavaliers quickly established a considerable advantage, and the game was unexpectedly smooth. From the beginning to the end, the Charlotte Bobcats did not cause any difficulties to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cleveland Cavaliers easily won a game from the Charlottes, which made people feel very satisfied. At least the whole Cleveland Cavaliers were very satisfied with this game.
After defeating the Charlotte Bobcats, the Cleveland Cavaliers' record has always improved to 7 wins and 13 losses, and is still ranked ninth in the East. The Milwaukee Bucks, ranked 6 wins and 15 losses, and the team in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers is now the Nets, who ranked 9 wins and 11 losses, ranked eighth in the East.
Although the current record of the Cleveland Cavaliers is really disappointing, fortunately, they have not been scored too much by the top eight opponents in the East, and there is still room for recovery.
Even if the current Cleveland Cavaliers cannot reverse the current situation in the ranking in a short period of time, if they can maintain such a position and wait until Dwight Howard or even Wu Dawei returns, then it will be just around the corner to return to the top eight in the East.
However, in Byron Scott's opinion, it may not necessarily be necessary to wait until Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard returned to the top eight in the East after returning from injury. A victory washed away the Cleveland Cavaliers' previous depression. It not only improved their record, but also warmed up morale.
Although they only defeated a bottom team, the team's two stars in the backcourt are now young, and they need to win to enhance their confidence. How can they care whether the opponents they defeat are strong or weak?
And what surprised Byron Scott the most was Michael Beasley, who stood out from the bench in this game, was used by the entire Cleveland Cavaliers as Wu Dawei's substitute. He played for 21 minutes in the game tonight, and scored 11 points and 4 rebounds in the whole game.
However, Byron Scott is not concerned with Michael Beasley's data, but his performance and attitude on the defensive end Beasley's talent can ensure his performance on the offensive end, while Beasley's performance on the defensive end is completely dependent on his own ideas.
What made Byron Scott feel relieved was that Michael Beasley still performed very positively on the defensive end in this game.
This made Byron Scott even more want to re-arrange the starting lineup. After all, Moon's performance on the offensive end is indeed relatively poor. Although his physical fitness is very explosive, even more powerful than Michael Beasley, his skills on the offensive end are not satisfactory.
The average shooting percentage is only 39, and the shooting percentage of three-pointers is even scary, only 21...
Such low efficiency is simply terrible
So in Byron Scott's view, if Michael Beasley can continue to devote the same energy on both offense and defense, then he should indeed consider getting him back into the starting lineup.
Obviously, after experiencing a trough of more than a month at the beginning of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers' performance is continuing to slowly warm up. This is of course good news. At least it can help Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, who are still recovering from injuries, don't have to be so anxious anymore.
