Vol 2 Chapter 432: New boss in Cleveland (three / four!)

With several waves of offense, the Thunder team was either stealed or missed the ball. The shortcomings of youth were quickly exposed.

Paul misplaced Perkins 'layup after a pick-and-roll in the frontcourt, not only scoring the change in rhythm, but also causing Perkins' foul.

13 flat!

After a wave of 9-0, the Cavaliers have tied the points.

Brooks reached for a pause.

After a pause, Brooks adjusted to replace Sefolosha with Harden.

At this time Harden was still a breakthrough physical strength, European step, chasing three-pointers, strong dunks, these are his masterpieces, but only has no organizational attributes.

The scene was always firmly controlled by Paul and the Cavaliers. After the first quarter, the Cavaliers led their opponents 28-20.

James also appeared strong after coming off the stage.

In the end, the Cavaliers suppressed the Thunder's counter-attack momentum and kept the lead to the end. The Thunder defeated the Thunder with 114 to 102 and won the opening victory.

James had 22 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Yao Ming had 19 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks, Shane Battier had 9 points and 3 rebounds, Jeremy Lin had 8 points and 3 assists, and Whiteside had 8 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Of course, the best performance of the Cavaliers is Paul, who played 35 minutes in the game, he made 14 of 21 shots, scored 33 points, 9 assists and 3 steals, which directly extended the hot performance of last season's finals to the new season.

At the press conference after the game, Tang Tian was in a very good mood.

Paul's state is related to his rigorous attitude. After all, if you stop, take the original "Rain Man" Camp for example, and directly change from an All-Star to a role player. If you are not strict with yourself, it is impossible to maintain this state. of.

If Paul has this state, the Cavaliers' difficulty in completing three consecutive championships will be greatly reduced.

However, he also felt that without the off-season training and preseason adjustments, the Cavaliers are still not in the best shape overall.

"The Thunder are considered the team most likely to block the Cavaliers in the new season, but from the second half of the first quarter, the Cavaliers have taken the initiative on the court and continued this advantage to the end. It seems that the team has already achieved three consecutive championships? "

"No, this season will be a huge challenge for the team. We must go all out. As for the Thunder, they have played very well. If they are more mature, the outcome of this game is difficult to say."

Tang Tian is very modest and low-key, which is also his attitude towards the players: If he wants to win three consecutive championships, the Cavaliers must work harder.

The strength of the three giants is here, and the role of role players has also steadily increased.

The game hit December 15th, three weeks have passed since the start of the season. The Cavaliers' record is 10 wins and 0 losses, and they have not lost.

The start of a ten-game winning streak is not much weaker than last season.

And even more exciting than the winning streak is Paul's play.

In 10 games, he averaged 27.8 points, 9.6 assists and 3.1 steals per game, shooting 50.2% from the field and 40.2% from three.

Compared to last season, whether it's scoring, assisting, or shooting percentage, he has improved significantly.

It is also this strong play that made him the best in the Eastern Week for three consecutive weeks!

shining!

Before the Cavaliers formed the Big Three, Yao Ming was the fourth consecutive MVP, and James was the first player in the league, but perhaps no one expected that in a shrinking season, Paul even played the strongest performance, and even the Yao Ming and James covered One chip.

Perhaps only Tang Tian knows that this is a severe top star, what will happen during the shutdown season, and the "Rain Man" Camp is exactly the opposite.

Paul's strong play has also won him the media and fans again sought after.

Sao Paulo, a rookie who led the team into the playoffs in the third grade, and is in the top four of the regular season MVP, is finally back!

In the latest issue of TNT's MVP ranking, Paul topped Ross, Durant, James, Kobe and other superstars, ranking first on the list!

This is the glorious moment of his career!

"Iverson is getting old. Paul is wearing No. 3 jersey because of Iverson. This is a kind of inheritance. Zhong Ai's life, love Paul!"

"Now Paul doesn't have to chase that former self, he will now surpass that former self, he will become the first point guard in history!"

"Thanks to the Knight for 6 years, I thank the coach Tang Tian. Last year's FMVP was just the beginning, the Cavaliers!"

...

The media and fans have taken Paul to a new level.

Super strong personal offensive ability, stable field control ability, big heart ability at key moments, bloomed like Rose three years ago, and three years later, he finally entered his peak.

On many media websites, the cover of the Cavaliers is quietly undergoing some changes.

Originally James was at the forefront, and they were quietly replaced by Paul.

This is a deeper recognition.

And at the scene in Cleveland, there are more and more fans supporting Paul at the scene ~ www.readwn.com ~ The city is also quietly changing from James's one person and one city.

...

Nike headquarters.

James and his agent Rich Paul are sitting in an office.

Opposite them is Martin Rorty, Nike's global vice president, a capable woman.

"So from a business value point of view, do you recommend James leave Cleveland?" Paul said, looking at Rorty.

"Yes, this is indeed true from a business perspective. In my understanding, as the team ’s first core win, LeBron ’s business value can be maximized. Honestly, the current situation is not optimistic, and I do n’t even think it is as good as before. The Cavaliers have a single-core lead, "Rorty bluntly said.

Paul remained silent.

James and Nike signed a 7-year contract. After the contract expired two years ago, they renewed another 7-year contract. During this period, Nike ’s market value rose from 10 billion to 20 billion. James ’contribution was not small. .

According to the current situation of mutual benefit between James and Nike, the two parties are likely to sign a life-long contract after the end of this contract. If the contract is reached, it is expected to exceed $ 1 billion. This is even for James and his For the economic team, it is a huge reward.

So Rorty's words, he can not help but refer to.

"I know the LRMR brokerage company, and you have been working to improve the brand of James, but if James's influence in the NBA declines, this will also be very detrimental to your company's development, so this is not my or Nike's unilateral proposal, It's something you should consider yourself, too, isn't it? ”Rorty said with a smile as he watched neither James nor Paul.
