Chapter 22 The Unlucky Knight

Back-to-back victory over the Heat, on November 11th, the Nets met the challenge from Cleveland at home, a team without the Emperor, how will the Nets treat this game after a good two-day rest?
The starting lineup of the Nets sent by Thomas was once again surprising. The starting lineup turned out to be Bledsoe, Matthews, Lance Stephenson, Xiaoheng, and Pekovic.

The Cavaliers have been in a slump this season, and they are basically a team that no one pays attention to. Only when LeBron returns to Cleveland, it should be broadcast live across the United States, but is the Nets against the Cavaliers?

Still no one paid attention, but after the game, when reporters asked Thomas why he arranged the team's starting lineup like this, Thomas smiled and said: "I'm just pursuing victory. As for the process, I don't really care! (You just care, okay) !) I thought it would be good for my young Nets team, so I did it, and that’s it.” Very arrogant, right?
The Cavaliers started with JJ Hickson, a bouncer, who later went to the Blazers to play the highest level of his career, but the Blazers did not enter the playoffs. After he left, Adelaide played the regular season MVP He is an obviously overrated player, and then he was brought to the plateau by the Nuggets with a high salary. Well, unfortunately, the Nuggets with him are really bad, and the playoffs are completely hopeless.

Varejao, a blue-collar from Brazil, is one of the most famous users of flopping, but his average rebounds per game next season shocked the league. Part of the Cavaliers' civil strife, the Cavaliers always give us too many surprises in the draft.

Anthony Parker, unfortunately, without the emperor, everything about him will be forgotten, without any good advantage for the Cavaliers, he is a blue-collar, disappeared in the league in the second half of 11 to 12 years.

Mo Williams, well, he's a scorer, that's it, he's been said a lot, a lot.

Moon, an undrafted wandering player, a blue-collar striker, a very hard-working defensive player, but, that's all, he will disappear in the NBA very quickly. Finally, without James In other words, you may have never heard of these players. If you don’t believe me, let me ask you, who are the players in the Bucks now?How many can you name?What about the Lakers?
With the jump ball, Varejao won the victory. Xiao Mo's offense was against a rookie. Xiao Mo still had to perform well, especially when the Nets ignored them and sent some substitutes. It's a pity , Xiao Mo's emergency stop jumper missed.Pekovic got stuck, and Xiaoheng got the rebound.

The Nets' offense, Xiao Heng came up to cover, Bledsoe entered the penalty area with the screen, Hickson just followed, Varejao also came to help defend, but Bledsoe jumped in the air Forcibly turned around, passed the ball to Pekovic, the unguarded White Bear, and ended the battle with a dunk.

The Cavaliers' fast break, it was Xiao Mo, and another single, it was a pity that his ball still didn't score, and Xiao Heng got the rebound and handed it to Bledsoe, "the reduced version of Westerbrook "Bledsoe's speed is not slow at all. A single rider breaks through the basket and scores. Because of Thomas' teaching, Bledsoe has amazing power against teams like the Heat and the Lakers. Now he Energetic head full, has made considerable progress.

You can never treat him as a rookie, because in his eyes, with the trust of the coach, even opponents like the Heat and the Lakers are not opponents. He no longer regards the Cavaliers as an opponent. Thomas arranged This is how the bench players played against the Cavaliers. He didn't regard the Cavaliers as an opponent at all. He wanted to see the Nets' starters. This is the fact that you have grown and you are very capable.

Sometimes, Thomas is really grateful for this kind of season arrangement. After playing against a strong team like the Heat, you will be trained by a weak team like the Cavaliers. This is a great encouragement to the team's confidence.

Mo of the Cavaliers has already missed 5 shots. Now he has started to organize the offense. His organization offense is still very effective. Unfortunately, Thomas sent Tony Allen to defend him. Tony Allen was still a little entangled in the defense yesterday. In the shadow of Wade's failure, the devil Thomas used Xiao Mo to find Tony's confidence. Hey, why did Thomas lose so much!
Tony steals the ball, this is the third time Tony steals the ball, Allen's fast down, the ball is scored, Mo Williams is completely blocked, the Cavaliers' coach must think of a way.

Mo's touch is really not good (historically Mo made 12 of 1 shots in this game and of course he still had 7 assists. This is where the steal comes from!) Coupled with Tony Allen's defense, the Cavaliers no longer have The offensive player was gone, and the Cavaliers coach sent Jamison.

Well, our Thomas had a bad idea again and sent Paul George, a rookie player who was completely defeated by LeBron. After the game, LeBron still praised George well, saying that he is the best LeBron has ever met. Opponent, I hope to fight again next time.

It's a pity that George's 10 single-man defenses were blown out, and Thomas didn't say anything to comfort him. In his opinion, if he can't bear this blow, he should go home and find his mother.

It seems that George who played is still energetic, defending Jamison very vigorously, what a pity!George defended LeBron yesterday, except that his body was completely exploded, LeBron's pass and jump shot were both threats. George, who was still immersed in yesterday's loss, still defended Jamison seriously according to the action of defending LeBron yesterday, so Jamison Tragically, he's still old, well past his prime, and only has some experience to apply.

"Big hat from George, let's cheer for this year's Nets rookie. The Nets have won 8 consecutive victories at the beginning. Come on!" DC shouted excitedly at the scene.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets began to open the score with a score gap of 30:12. The two sides began the second quarter. Desperately dispatched a lineup of Sessions, Gibson, Jamison, Hickson, and Varejao.

Well, Thomas played tricks again, the Nets' offense, Jeremy Lin took the ball forward, handed the ball to McGrady in the half court, and he organized the offense. Love took a good position at the basket, and McGrady's pass followed When the pass arrived, Love began to play Varejao with his back. At the basket, he first scattered Hickson's block, and then scored a layup.

Love's temperament has also changed. In the first two seasons, due to injuries and not being the core of the team, Love's goals decreased significantly, averaging only about 2 points per game. The trend of the league's top insiders, the Cavaliers' seemingly intimidating insiders, under Love's arrogance, is nothing more than that. What's more, Thomas arranged the team's third team and told Love that he meant you Love Even relying on such a facelift can defeat the Cavaliers' desperate lineup.

Thomas's four teachers, you said, who gave him such a job? (Riley, Popovich, Nelson Sr., D'Antoni)
Then in the second quarter, the Nets' third team led by Love continued to lead with a score gap of 50:26. Love made 12 of 8 shots in a single quarter and scored 17 points and 7 rebounds with free throws. The time of the Cavaliers' quarter.

In the third quarter, the beginning of the nickname of the devil, Thomas sent out, Curry, Matthews, George, Xiaoheng, Asik.

Because of the Cavaliers' lag and the problem of the point guard's rhythm control, the two sides played a fast break. The scene was good, but the gap between the two sides was gradually widening. The Nets scored 35 points again in a single quarter. The score ended at 85:53, the confidence of the Cavaliers began to collapse, and the entire fourth quarter turned into garbage time. In the end, the Nets won with a score of 113:95, and the Nets won 8 consecutive victories.

After the game, the reporters wrote about today's game that the confidence of the Nets rookie was gradually stabilizing, and the Nets began to have the momentum that a winning team should have, and began to call Thomas "the devil of rhythm." "Praise" he has grasped the overall trend of a game very well and turned this game into his training ground.

Finally, what I want to say is that the Cavaliers won this game in history, but due to the protagonist, the Cavaliers lost one more victory from the original 19. Well, the record is probably broken by no one!
……

I hope everyone likes my work, newcomers and new works, eager to support!
