I stole James

Chapter 212 Regular season team?
After Christmas, the Cavaliers won all three games, while the Suns inadvertently lost to the Grizzlies, and the Cavaliers were able to sit alone in the league's first position.

After the game in December, the Cavaliers entered 12 with a record of 26 wins and 4 losses. With a new year and a new start, James had another Eastern Conference player of the month award and a player of the week award.

It's just that, although he won the award, James still has troubles. The first round of voting for the All-Star Game is almost over, and his votes are indeed more and growing faster than last year.

But there are still people with more votes than him, and that is Yao Ming and Iverson.

Iverson only got a little more votes than him. The gap between the two is not that big, just a difference of two to three thousand votes.

But Yao Ming has nearly 3 more votes than him. Will he have a chance to overtake him later?Can you complete the new task of this system?

James is a bit lacking in confidence. The number and strength of Chinese fans are too great.

……

……

Up to now, two months have passed since the start of the regular season. The Cavaliers have slapped Skip's so-called "luck theory" with their solid performance, but some people can always come up with some eye-catching points. Pu is good at this. Instead of saying "the Cavaliers are just lucky to get their current record", he said instead that "the Cavaliers are just a regular season team".

What is a regular season team is a team that can only achieve a record in the regular season, but cannot achieve a good record in the playoffs.

In fact, according to this standard, there are quite a few teams that meet this standard. The key is how to achieve good results in the playoffs?Teams that have not been able to make the playoffs for many years made it to the first round. Does the first round count?After passing the first round, is it considered an achievement to be eliminated in the second round?Can things be counted?

This really depends on individual standards, so Skip's statement is cunning. Even if the Cavaliers enter the playoffs, reach the second round, and even the East and West finals, he can say that they have no results. Maybe as long as they don't win the championship in the finals , can be said to have no results.

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

For Skip's comment, James just smiled and didn't react much. Anyway, he has long been used to Skip's face as a mad dog. That guy can say whatever he likes. Kip looked down upon him, and was slapped all the way in the face by him.

James said to his teammates, "The regular season team is the regular season team. What's wrong with it? The playoffs are still too far away. Only after finishing the regular season can we be eligible to talk about the playoffs." After finishing the regular season and getting a good record, we must first prove that we are worthy of the title of "regular season team". Don't even get the title of "regular season team". For myself, I have to start with the regular season, and only after I have played the regular season can I have a chance to face Skip."

In James' opening declaration, the Cavaliers played a wave of consecutive victories at the beginning of the year. In addition to the 2004 consecutive victories at the end of 3, they achieved another 8 consecutive victories.

With an 8-game winning streak, the Cavaliers came to New Jersey to challenge the Nets away.

This is one of 3 teams that have beaten them in the past month.

Last season, the Nets were also a strong team in the East, but they did not achieve very good results in the playoffs. They were eliminated by the Pistons in the second round.

This season they have been seeking to strengthen the team, wanting to rush out of the Eastern Conference and enter the Finals.

After the Heat traded for Shaquille O'Neal, in fact, quite a few teams are just around the corner, wanting to initiate a trade to enhance their own strength, and the Nets are one of them.

In the past month, that is, in mid-December 2004, after they defeated the Cavaliers, they announced that they had reached a big deal. They will Alonzo Mourning, Aaron Williams, Eric -Williams and two future draft picks were swapped to the Raptors for last season's All-Star ticket king Flyer Carter.

The Nets' "Troika" - Carter, Kidd and Richard - Jefferson, which is very popular with fans, was formed.

They are going to lead the team towards a higher goal, but the top priority, they still have to think about how to make the team better run-in and produce a chemical reaction, because after the big deal, the record of the Nets is not very good Satisfactory, still barely in the ranks of the playoffs, if not careful, it is very likely that by the end of the regular season, they will not even be able to catch up with the last train of the playoffs.

It was under such circumstances that the Cavaliers and the Nets met.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is still point guard Paul, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward James, power forward Randolph, and center Z.

The Nets' starting lineup is point guard Jason Kidd, shooting guard Vince Carter, small forward Richard Jefferson, power forward Clifford Robinson, and center Nenad Kostic.

The Nets took the lead in attacking. Kidd took possession of the ball across half court and gave the ball to Carter near the left horn, allowing Carter to single out Tony Allen.

After taking the ball, Carter raised the ball and swayed it, then dribbled the ball with his left hand, squeezed Tony Allen away from the left, broke through to the basket diagonally, and then jumped directly for a layup.

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

Of course, excluding some stunned youths who are so arrogant that they think they can challenge Carter to dunk.

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

With a bang, Carter completed the dunk without delay, causing the New Jersey fans at the scene to scream and cheer.

Now, compared to last season, they have got a player who can fly in the sky, and they also have a player who can pass the ball to the flying man. This picture looks good when you think about it, it’s a perfect match, isn’t it? ?
Fans chanted the name "Carter".

The Cavaliers responded very quickly. Amidst the cheers of the Nets fans, Paul dribbled the ball forward quickly. When he reached the three-point line in the frontcourt, 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 Poole got the ball, two Nets players rushed towards him.

He flicked the ball, passed it through the gap between the two, and gave it to Tony Allen who followed up. Tony Allen caught the ball and made a layup and scored the ball.

A very wonderful offensive cooperation.
