On December 23, on this day, the Cleveland Cavaliers will play against the New Orleans Hornets, a team from the Western Conference. This long game will be their last game before the start of the Christmas game. Before that, the Cleveland Cavaliers have already won two consecutive victories, so of course, they hope to win their first three consecutive victories this season in the home game tonight!

And the importance of this game is not just that. As long as they win this long game, they will be able to go to the top eight in the East District League by surpassing the New Jersey Nets who win the same game but play fewer games.

So the importance of this game is naturally self-evident. For this game, head coach Byron Scott gave the team the purpose of the team to make the team win only and not lose!

Coupled with the team's recent two-game winning streak, the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers are full of confidence.

Especially the team is not only in good condition at present, but also has many highlights in the team. Michael Beasley, who averaged 19 points and 9 rebounds per game in the last two games, is the biggest contributor to the team to win two consecutive victories.

Byron Scott was very happy that he had made his decision to re-adjust Beasley back to the starting lineup more than a week ago. Because in the five games since returning to the starting lineup, Beasley averaged 34 minutes of playing per game, and in these 34 minutes, he contributed 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists to the team!

At the same time, in these five games, his average shooting percentage reached 48%, reaching a career high, and his shooting from outside the three-point line also reached 38%! They are also extremely outstanding!

As a No. 3 player, Michael Beasley's performance after returning to the real-life technique makes people feel extremely happy. Moreover, he still has no slackness on the defensive end and is still so active. This is what makes the team's head coach Byron Scott feel most relieved.

What he feared the most was Michael Beasley's focus on the defensive end was only three minutes of popularity, and after a while, it became negative again. However, judging from the current situation, at least so far, there has been no such sign!

This is a good thing, especially in the current period of such a disaster in the Cleveland Cavaliers. If Michael Beasley can continue to maintain such a relatively high level, the Cavaliers' prospects this season will not be too dim.

Byron Scott thought so in his heart, and he also expected so. But until now, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers does not know why Michael Beasley suddenly changed so much!

Of course, this is closely related to Wu Dawei. If it weren't for Wu Dawei's words that awakened the dreamer, I'm afraid Michael Beasley is still sitting on the bench and complaining about the world...

Until Wu Dawei said that to Michael Beasley during training, he was heard by Michael Beasley. Then he began to slowly change his style and began to pick up the defense that he had never liked.

During this period, Wu Dawei must always encourage Michael Beasley. Because he has made friends for so many years, Wu Dawei naturally knows very well what Michael Beasley's nature is. So he does not dare to slacke in any way. Every time he encourages Michael Beasley after the game, he will encourage Michael Beasley, especially when the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves away, Wu Dawei praised Michael Beasley's performance and praised him all the time.

This also made Michael Beasley feel extremely comfortable. As Qiu Yan, who was once the Minnesota Timberwolves, was in the target center against his old club and was very ecstatic about his ability to score 20 points and 10 rebounds at this time!

And in addition to feeling the mind and body unobstructed, Michael Beasley also felt the feeling of stopping the opponent on both the offensive and defensive ends for the first time. It was really a wonderful feeling!

This naturally inspired Michael Beasley to be satisfied with the positive state first.

Of course he knew that he actually didn't have many opportunities in the Cleveland Cavaliers, because his good friend Wu Dawei is the undisputed core Qiu Yan of this team. Moreover, the two of them had the same position. After Wu Dawei came back, he would definitely give way.

If you want to prove yourself, you can take advantage of the time when Wu Dawei was still injured and absent, which attracted the attention of the team's head coach Byron Scott, so that you can get the opportunity to play in the same season as Zheng E.

This season is Michael Beasley's contract year. He must have a few outstanding performances to win people's respect. Only in this way can he capture the next professional contract. And Michael Beasley's goal is of course not just to capture a new contract. At the same time, he also hopes that this will be a contract with a higher annual salary, not a contract with a basic salary, which is not his ambition.

That's why Michael Beasley felt a little complacent about his current performance, because under such performance, Michael Beasley finally saw some hope.

It seems that Wu Dawei is really a good guy, he has not deceived himself~

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who have won two consecutive games, are currently taking the right path, and tonight, on the 23rd, their goal is to win the first three-game winning streak this season.

Facing the New Orleans Hornets, it seems that it is not very difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to achieve such a hope. Because the Hornets are in a bad situation, ranking at the bottom of the West, and are proud of the heroes with a record of 5 wins and 18 losses...

Faced with such a weak team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have won two consecutive victories, are of course full of confidence.

On this day's game, the Cleveland Cavaliers did play well. Especially the game was held at their home speed loan center, and the Cleveland Cavaliers still took the lead from the beginning.

Although the New Orleans Hornets once played very well under the leadership of Davidson, who is known as the No. 1 pick in the team and is known as the Big Brow. It caused a big problem for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their strength is really not good.

The Cleveland Cavaliers soon began to slowly widen the score gap in the second half of the game, and thus established the basis for winning tonight's game.

In the end, although Davidson, the No. 1 pick of the New Orleans Hornets, scored a game-high 29 points and 16 rebounds, his team was still defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers who played at home.

The Cavaliers defeated the visiting New Orleans Hornets with 109:98, 11 points at home in their home.

In this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally won their first three-game winning streak this season! After a month or two, the Cleveland Cavaliers finally saw hope for the first time this season. The momentum of the three-game winning streak has regained their long-lost confidence and improved their record to 12 wins and 16 losses.

In addition, the New Jersey Nets did not play on this day. So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers overtook the New Jersey Nets with the advantage of losing one less game and squeezed back into the top eight in the East District!

Returning to the top eight in the East that had been missing for a long time also made the whole Cleveland Cavaliers feel extremely excited. At the same time, it also made Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard breathe a sigh of relief. When the team lost repeatedly, they felt the same entanglement as most people.

At that time, I really wanted to go back to the basketball court immediately to fight for the team.

But now, the team has temporarily solved the crisis. Although the ranking is only in the middle of the East District League, it at least gives the Cleveland Cavaliers a cushion, allowing them to breathe a little relief.

This is a gratifying thing. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, but after winning this three-game winning streak, the Cleveland Cavaliers ushered in this year's Christmas battle after a day off.

The opponent was their opponent in the finals last season... This is not a good bone to chew. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Oklahoma Thunder with a total score of 4:1 in the finals last season. But at that time, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard were among the team.

Now, both players will not represent the team for the time being, which has brought great difficulties to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although they are playing at home, it is still a very difficult game.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are in excellent form at present. Durant is currently ranked first in the league in scoring list with a 30-point average. It seems that he is going to regain the scoring title he lost last season! In addition, he can contribute 8 rebounds and 3 assists to the Thunder in each game.

Russell Westbrook, another of the Thunder's Gemini stars, can contribute 22 points per game to the Thunder, and can also give the Thunder 9 assists and nearly 2 steals in each game.

It is precisely because the two stars' performance is too shining that the Oklahoma City Thunder was able to achieve a record of 19 wins and 3 losses, and is currently awesome in the entire league!

If the Thunder, like the Cleveland Cavaliers today, without Durant and Westbrook, then their record might be a few points worse than the Cleveland Cavaliers today!

However, although this is a tricky game, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have to face it on Christmas Day. Although the three consecutive wins of i are likely to end in this game, this is also a helpless thing.

You can't tell the league that you won't compete...then this is even more ridiculous. Escape is the most useless choice, not only useless, but also just laughing at it.

However, although the Cavaliers will definitely not be too high in this game, the team's head coach Byron Scott still attaches great importance to this game. After all, this is a live game across the United States, and it is a grand festival like Christmas, so how can you handle things hastily?

As the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron Scott does not want to leave a degenerate image of the defending champion for the audience across the United States, so even though he knows that the winning rate of this game will not be too high, Byron Scott wants the team to compete!

After all, even if their strength is not as good as the Oklahoma City Thunder, after all, they have achieved three consecutive victories. It can be said that when the momentum is in full swing, no one is suspicious that they are willing to stop this consecutive victories. Although the strength of the two sides is quite different in this game, the Cavaliers can still take advantage of the team's current condition to attack their opponents.

And now they don’t need to worry too much about physical fitness issues, because after the Christmas game, the Cleveland Cavaliers will rest until December 31 before they will welcome their next opponent!

And when January next year comes, the Cleveland Cavaliers are getting closer and closer to welcoming the team's inside core Dwight Howard! It can be said that as long as you survive this game and the Cleveland Cavaliers will be back to light, it will be about to come.

So, Byron Scott has no reason not to pay attention to this holiday battle. The willingness I didn't pay attention to before was because before the Christmas game, the Cleveland Cavaliers still had three games that were most likely to win in front of them. Of course, the important thing is to win these three weak opponents first. Now, the team has won three consecutive victories. Of course, Byron Scott will hope that the team can perform in this game.

This game is a national live broadcast and a festival game. Of course, it is not only the Cleveland Cavaliers that are valued. The Oklahoma City Thunder also came to Cleveland on December 24th. Brooks, the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, also attaches great importance to this game. Although the current strength of the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot be compared with the last season's finals, they are currently in the midst of a three-game winning streak, so naturally Brooks will not take them lightly.

Moreover, since the current second-ranked San Antonio Spurs are chasing closely behind the Thunder, Brooks naturally won't let go of any game that can improve the team's performance.
