NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

On the 24th, in addition to the game between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers, the league has 7 games scheduled.

Another matchup on this side of the West, the Cleveland Cavaliers' Big Three's trip to the Memphis Grizzlies also attracted a lot of attention.

Not only is it because the Cavaliers will be able to enjoy a three-game winning streak after winning this game, but it will also help the Cavaliers launch a further attack on the top spot in the East.

Influenced by the Blazers, the current Eagles are not as invincible as they used to be in the 2014-2015 season, and their momentum is second only to the Warriors.

The Eagles, who lost to the Blazers twice before, also affected the state of the players in the next few games. The current record is only 51 wins and 12 losses. It can rank first in the East, and it can also beat the Mosaic and the Clippers in the West. It is still in third place, followed by the Trail Blazers and the Warriors.

After nearly three hours of fierce battle, the Cavaliers finally defeated the Grizzlies at 102:89 on the road.

Tonight, Cousins ​​can be said to be shining brightly, fighting both bears.

In this regard, James enjoyed it, and even wished that Cousins ​​could play harder, so that he could take good care of himself and fish a lot.

James played 34 points tonight, contributing 19 points, 13 assists and 8 rebounds.

19+13+8, another quasi-triple-double that has made many James Jamies sad.

Idol, can you give me some strength?

No matter how bad it is, you can do 20+10!

It's not that he doesn't have that ability, he can obviously get triple-doubles, but he will die if he tries a little harder!

Especially some of Jamie's obsessive-compulsive patients.

Originally, the Cavaliers were very happy to win, but when they thought of James' quasi-triple-double, they couldn't wait to become the Cavaliers coach and slapped James hard, letting him play the full 48 minutes.

In addition, Irving felt relatively average tonight. He made 6 of 16 shots and scored the team's third-highest 18 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.

But I don't know why, Irving didn't see how happy he was in the interview after the win, but he wasn't Jamie, and he didn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Why is this?

no one knows.

Of course, apart from Irving's fans, not many media are willing to deeply analyze Owen's inner thoughts at this time.

After all, the biggest traffic player in the East is James himself. After returning to the Cavaliers, no matter whether he wins or loses, the first thing the media pays attention to is James.

Secondly, it was not Owen's turn.

It is DeMarcus Cousins, who has continued the 20+10 double-double data from last season when he first arrived.

One of all the active center players can count them. If they can get 10 points and 10 rebounds, they can count them with both hands.

On the basis of the double 10+, after going further to the field of 20 points and 10 rebounds, there is only Wang Zelin in the west and only Cousins ​​in the east.

If it continues to be divided into a higher grade, then Wang Zelin, who is ranked in the first grade with 30 points and 10 rebounds, is undoubtedly arrogant.

Cousins, with 20 points and 10 rebounds in the second gear, is a standout;

There are a few players with 15 points and 10 rebounds in the third gear, such as Dwight Howard and Marc Gasol, and the fourth gear is the other center.

Although this is only a simple division of the active centers of various grades from the perspective of player data, it is undeniable that most of the time, player data is often the evidence that best reflects the performance of players on the field.

It's no wonder that many people now think that Cousins ​​is the second center in active service after Wang Zelin!

Cousins, who has entered the top two in the same position in the minds of most people, is naturally regarded by many media as the second leader of the Cavaliers, rather than Irving, who may not even be in the top five in the same position in the league.

After the game, seeing fewer and fewer people interviewing him, and then constantly surrounding James and Cousins, Owen's face turned black, and he turned around immediately and returned to the locker room amid the confusion and confusion of the reporters.

It was also the first time they were so angry when they saw someone win a game?

Even if you win, that's not the case if you lose!

"LeBron, what's wrong with Kyrie? Are you uncomfortable? Why don't we go see him first?"

The naive Cousins ​​didn't think that it was because of his arrival that he stole Owen's limelight and made Owen like this.

At this time, his face was full of worries about his good teammate Owen.

James frowned as he looked at the back of Owen's departure, his expression gloomy.

As a human being, how could he not understand the little Jiujiu in Owen's heart, but after hesitating for a while, he made a decision.

You can leave if you want. My top priority is to win over Cousins ​​and further deepen the relationship between the two.

The Cavaliers, who won tonight's game, have a record of 48 wins and 24 losses.

They are still ranked second in the Eastern Conference, and they are only 3 games away from the Eastern Conference Hawks. There are still more than a dozen games left before the end of the season, and they have no hope of overtaking.

The reason why the Cavaliers can continue to exert their strength after the All-Star team is definitely not small.

Cousins ​​appeared in 51 of the Cavaliers' 62 games this season, averaging 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

Among the five basic data, except the score dropped by 1.7 points compared with last season, the other four data all increased.

In addition, Cousins, who joined the Cavaliers and accepted the weight gain plan, also changed the way he played in the king's era, and he was more dominated by pick-and-roll and catch-and-roll offense.

You must know that the reason why Cousins ​​continued to get injured in later generations was largely because of his sweeping style of playing that required the ball once half-court. Moreover, he also loves to show off the dribble, and often likes to go through the backcourt or make breakthroughs with the ball from the outside.

This is not to deny Cousins' offensive ability. In fact, he did serve as the league's first center in 2-3 seasons later, and his personal average data was above 25+10.

Just based on his weight, combined with this style of play, it is doomed that injuries will come to him sooner or later, which is the same as Rose's suicidal breakthrough back then.

It's cool to use it for a while, and use the crematorium all the time!

The choice to join the Cavaliers this time may become the wisest choice in his career.

On the one hand, this guy's character is somewhat similar to the former Howard, the difference is that Howard likes to play, he just likes to be angry.

But one thing is the same, neither of them is a good leader, and they did not meet a good leader during their peak period, which eventually led to the two withered early within a few years of their peak period.

Howard's back injury is doomed that he will never be able to return to his peak, and the monsters are gone forever.

However, Cousins, who escaped from the King of Bad Team a few seasons in advance and joined the Cavaliers, has embarked on a path completely different from the original history.

Here, as long as James is still in Cleveland, the Cavaliers will always have only one king, and no player can encroach on his unique status.

However, under such extremely favorable conditions, James would also be a thief, and he would not be too slippery to play this trick together. He easily subdued the big and small babies of Cousins ​​and Owen, so that they could be on the court. Play hard for the Cavaliers.

No, in order to compete with Wang Zelin and enhance the lethality of the basket, Cousins ​​first accepted the team's suggestion to gain weight;

Later, under the continuous feeding of James, Cousins, who tasted the sweetness of easy scoring, accepted the suggestion of reducing a large number of singles rounds with the ball, and increased the high-level pick-and-roll and catch-and-shoot;

Now, Cousins, who has tasted the victory and has been widely recognized by local Cavaliers fans and the media, has actually put down the arrogant figure of the past few seasons, abandoned the poor defensive choices of the past, and began to seriously think about how to contribute on the defensive end. , to help fans win.

Like a rebellious bear child who obviously has a good talent but likes to be naughty on weekdays, after being guided by a good teacher, his academic performance is like riding a rocket, and his progress is amazing!

Despite the decline in scoring this season, Cousins ​​shot a career-high 52.4 percent from the field.

Entering the fifth year of the league, as an insider, Cousins' shooting percentage has finally exceeded 50%, no longer the sluggish efficiency of 44% and 43% before.

The Kings expressed tears.

And all of this, it's hard to say that it's not because of the benign changes after playing more reasonable after arriving at the Cavaliers.

Compared with Cousins, he also received special training from Mr. Zhan. Although Owen's average score is not much different from last season's 20.5 points, this season is 20.2 points, but the efficiency has made great progress. .

Not only did he shoot 46.8% from the field, the highest since his rookie season, but he also hit a career-high 41.5% from three-pointers, and his average shots and hits per game were also career highs.

It has to be said that for the thorny players, as long as they can get the guidance of Teacher Zhan, they will have the opportunity to improve their strength.

If you can still develop the ability to make three points, then congratulations, the chances of earning a lot of money will be far greater than before.

However, if James is asked to choose one of Cousins ​​and Owen, he will most likely prefer the former.

It's not just because both of them have a Struggle, the main reason is that although Cousins ​​and Owen both have the attributes of giant babies, they are fundamentally different.

James can see clearly what Cousins ​​is thinking when he looks at it, and after getting along for the most part of the season, he is sure that he can develop a good brother relationship with Cousins.

As for Owen?

To be honest, James always feels that he has never seen through Owen!

For him, this is a very scary thing.

After more than ten years of professional career, Zhan Chao will only encounter this kind of situation in a few people.

Moreover, the previous peaks were, without exception, top players of the same level as him... Only Irving can sometimes make James completely confused.

As long as I think of Owen's more than one black-faced situation after Cousins' excellent performance this season, it's the first time I've been interviewing directly and leaving the game before it's over...

There was a brief flash of anger in James' eyes.

But he quickly restrained himself.

On the one hand, the trade deadline has ended, and this season's trade reinforcement situation has been determined; on the other hand, because the team is in good condition and has a tendency to overtake the Eagles.

At such a critical juncture, the Cavaliers cannot be in chaos, and James will never allow this to happen.

Alas~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Isn't it just that you can't grab a toy, but you can't grab someone else? I don't know how hard it is to strike iron! Who can you rely on if you can't grab it?

James shook his head helplessly. When the interview was over, he had to help Owen find a reason to allay Cousins' worries.

But in the end, Owen was like a child in his heart, just go back and coax him.

After they figured it out, James and Cousins ​​continued to stay on the scene for interviews, and then the two heard the news that Wang Zelin scored a 60+ triple-double.

"What? You said that Wang broke the records of the Warriors' home court, the highest score and the highest rebound in a single game at Oracle Arena?"

"With two blocks short of even breaking the record for the highest blocks in a single game?"

A series of news was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which shocked Teacher Zhan to be stunned.

At this moment, he has no mood to think about Owen's affairs, there is only one thought left in his mind:

How many "surprises" will Wang Zelin bring to him?

Then, he heard someone next to him constantly chanting "60+ triple-double!" and "60+ triple-double!".

Turning his head and looking, it was Cousins ​​who was in a daze, repeating over and over again.

Obviously, Cousins ​​was also hit by this surprise.

Come on, it looks like someone has to get rid of Rivers again.

After quickly dealing with the media, James hurriedly dragged Cousins, who had not recovered for a long time, and left the scene.

Just kidding, if he continued like this, he was afraid that Cousins ​​would be ruined.

No, I have to quickly let my little brother make a bowl of chicken soup!
