Chapter 212

After Christmas, the Cavaliers won all three games, while the Suns inadvertently lost to the Grizzlies. The Cavaliers were able to sit alone in the first place in the league.

After the game in December, the Cavaliers won 26 wins and 4 losses and entered 2005. At the beginning of the new year, James won another player of the East Month award and player of the Week Award.

However, although he won the prize, James still had trouble. The first round of voting in the All-Star game was coming to an end. His votes were indeed more and growing faster than last year.

But some people have more votes than him, that is Yao Ming and Iverson.

Iverson has only a little more votes than him. The gap between the two is not big. With a gap of two or three thousand votes, he may be able to surpass in one day.

But Yao Ming has nearly 30000 more tickets than him. Can he have a chance to surpass behind him? Can you complete the new task of this system?

James is a little lack of confidence. The number and strength of Chinese fans are too great.

……

……

Up to now, two months after the start of the regular season, the Cavaliers have beaten skip's so-called "luck theory" with strong performance. However, some people can always put forward some eye-catching views. Skip is good at this. He no longer holds that "the Cavaliers are just lucky, so they get the current record", Instead, say "the Cavaliers are just regular season teams".

What is a regular season team, that is, a team that can only make achievements in the regular season, but can not make good achievements in the playoffs.

In fact, according to this standard, there are many teams that meet this standard. The key is how to achieve good results in the playoffs? The team that has been unable to enter the playoffs for many years has entered the first round. Does the first round tour count? After the first round, is it a success to be eliminated in the second round? Can we never get anything?

It really depends on personal standards, so skip's statement is cunning. Even if the Cavaliers enter the playoffs, play in the second round, and even things can be said to have no results by him. Maybe as long as they don't win the championship in the finals, they can be said to have no results.

After all, not winning the championship is a failure for the team determined to win the championship.

James just smiled and didn't react much to skip's comment. Anyway, he had long been used to skip's mad dog face. The guy said whatever he liked. Anyway, he was looked down upon by skip all the way, and then slapped in the face all the way.

James said to his teammates, "the regular season team is just the regular season team. What's wrong? The playoffs are too far away. Only after playing the regular season first can we be qualified to talk about the playoffs. After playing the regular season and achieving good results, at least prove that we deserve the title of "regular season team". Don't even get the title of "regular season team", it will make people laugh. So to prove yourself, we must start from the regular season. Only after playing well in the regular season can we have a chance to hit skip in the face. "

In James's opening declaration, the Cavaliers played a wave of consecutive victories at the beginning of the year. Together with three consecutive victories at the end of 2004, they achieved another eight consecutive victories.

With the momentum of eight consecutive wins, the Cavaliers came to New Jersey to challenge the basketball nets away.

This is one of the three teams that beat them in the last month's game.

Last season, the nets were also a strong team in the East, but they didn't get good results in the playoffs. They were eliminated by the pistons in the second round.

This season they have been seeking to enhance the strength of the team and want to break out of the East and reach the finals.

After the heat traded Shaquille O'Neal, in fact, many teams are ready to move. If they want to launch a trade to enhance their strength, the basketball nets are one of them.

In the past month, that is, in mid December 2004, after defeating the Cavaliers, they announced that they had reached a big deal. They exchanged Alonzo Monin, Aaron Williams, Eric Williams and two future draft rights to the Raptors and won the All-Star ticket King flying man Carter of last season.

The "Troika combination" - Carter, Kidd and Richard Jefferson, which is very popular among basketball fans, was formed.

They want to lead the team to a higher goal, but it's urgent for them to think about how to make the team run in better and produce chemical reaction, because after the big deal, the record of the basketball team is not very satisfactory, and it's still reluctantly retained in the playoffs, It's likely to miss the last bus of the playoffs by the end of the regular season.

In this case, the Cavaliers and the nets met.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is still point guard Paul, point guard Tony Allen, little former James, big former Randolph and center Z.

The Nets' starting lineup is point guard Jason Kidd, point guard Vince Carter, little former Richard Jefferson, big former Clifford Robinson and center nenad costic.

The nets led the attack, Kidd controlled the ball over the half court, gave the ball to Carter near the left corner and asked Carter to pick Tony Allen alone.

After Carter took the ball, he raised the ball and shook it falsely, then ran the ball with his left hand, squeezed Tony Allen away from the left, crossed obliquely to the basket, and then took off directly for a layup.

No, it's not a layup, but a one handed break. For Carter, dunking is definitely his specialty. If his dunk is second in the NBA, I'm afraid many people dare not say first.

Of course, it doesn't include some people who are arrogant enough to think they can challenge Carter's dunk.

Dunk has become a pleasing art in Carter's hands, and Carter has been elected the All-Star vote King many times, largely due to his dunk stunt, which is loved by countless fans.

With a bang, Carter finished the dunk without delay, which made the New Jersey fans scream and cheer.

Now, compared with last season, they have got a player who can fly in the sky, and there are players in their team who can pass to the flying people. It's a good picture, isn't it?

The fans shouted the name "Carter".

The Cavaliers responded quickly. In the cheers of the nets fans, Paul pushed forward quickly with the ball. When he came outside the front three-point line, he hit the ground with both hands and passed the ball to James, who cut from the right to the basket. As soon as James Pu took the ball, two nets players rushed to him.

He picked the ball out of the gap between the two and gave it to Tony Allen who followed up. Tony Allen caught the ball, laid up the basket and scored the ball.

A wonderful attack.
