knife point guard

Chapter 341 [Trade applied for by the Orlando Magic]

The Cavaliers obviously didn't expect Isiah Thomas to 'speak out' and said what they wanted to say.

Originally, they planned to tell everyone in a vague way: We didn't try our best this time, we just wanted to rest. Watch the next game, we will beat the Knicks hard!

However, Isiah Thomas actually struck first and actually said that the Cavaliers surrendered in the fourth quarter because they were afraid that Su Xi would break the scoring record!

What a vicious intention.

This is simply slander!
Do the Cavaliers need to be afraid?

kindness?
Mike Brown is somewhat arrogant and unreasonable, after all...it is a fact that he did not play in the fourth quarter, and it is also a fact that garbage time was declared after being only 9 points behind.

But should the truth be told? Should facts be ridiculed?

Isiah Thomas is so unseemly.

In contrast, Goat Suhi is more respectable. When he was interviewed, he just said: "The Cavaliers are much better than last season."

Isiah Thomas nodded, he was also a little anxious.

On the way back to New York from Cleveland, Suhi and Thomas said: "We still need to add a meat shield center."

Thomas exchanged insults with reporters at the press conference.

He said that he had no intention of giving up, but the rotation could not withstand the Knicks' impact, and the point difference widened instantly. After James returned to the sideline, he found that his groin was a little painful, so he simply gave up.

This is the argument in many basketball media.

This is somewhat different from the analysis in the basketball media.

Isiah Thomas was as excited as if he had picked up a gun. He stood up, took the microphone and roared below: "What about your chosen son, LeBron James? Without the courage of the inside man, LeBron James can even face the goat. Are they all gone? Don’t forget, in our Knicks lineup, Eddy Curry has been out for the season, Zach Randolph is also out due to injury, and Crawford has not returned yet. Why did we not give up the game? Why are we number one in the league?”

The Cavaliers have deployed two super insiders. The Knicks must at least have someone who can handle it, right? Channing Frye is not as big as O'Neal.

Although it is said that Isiah Thomas makes the Cleveland Cavaliers very uncomfortable, it can even be said that it makes James and the Cavaliers the laughing stock of timidity.

However, Isiah Thomas and Knicks fans have absolutely no such thoughts. After all, the Cavaliers have tried their luck too many times. They seem to have been trying their best and never won. Although we have O'Neal, what should we be afraid of when Suzy the Goat is here?

Thinking of this, their sadness surged wildly. Because Su Xi and James, a pair of peerless geniuses, were both players for the Cavaliers.

Hopefully it will be in place before the All-Stars arrive.

Forehead….

But in the eyes of basketball experts, the strength of the Cavaliers cannot be underestimated. Some of them are even worried that the Knicks are so arrogant now. What if they are beaten next time they meet?
After all, Ilgauskas's test report came out. It was just a slight sprain and no injuries. He just needed to rest and be fine.

It would be great if it was last season's lineup. If it was last season's lineup, the Knicks wouldn't have to worry about the Cavaliers at all.

Because he was still saying that the Cavaliers were cowardly and declared garbage time after falling behind by 9 points in the third quarter, because they were afraid that Su Xi would get a super triple-double above them.

Then why should Su Xi give them dignity.

However, Su Xi was not so optimistic.

Cleveland asked for this.

no way.

They all have superstitious trust in Su Xi, and they sincerely believe that Su Xi can do anything.

Many people are saying that if the Cavaliers keep both of them, what will happen to other teams now?
A Su Xi has won three consecutive championships, and James is not allowed to take off.

Their silence also proves the fact that even Cleveland people have begun to generally believe that James is indeed inferior to Su Xi.

Su Xi did not attend the post-match press conference. He has never liked to appear in post-game press conferences. The NBA acquiesces to his behavior. In fact, the Knicks' press conference is enough with Isiah Thomas.

This made the on-site reporter very unhappy. He directly refuted Isiah Thomas: It was because Ilgauskas was injured and it was because Shaquille O'Neal committed five fouls.

In fact, other reporters don’t know what to say?
Because no matter what they say, the one who gets hurt in the end is James.

Mike Brown always has a reason.

Later, Mack Brown explained why he gave up in the fourth quarter.

But why was it that James was so good in the first three quarters and Su Xi got groin pain after scoring 60 points?

Thomas is a bit of a villain.

Thomas's voice was loud and harsh.

He is equivalent to adding nine tins in front of little King James.

Isiah Thomas left the post-game press conference arrogantly. He performed his arrogance and domineering to the fullest, and no one in the audience dared to refute him.

The New York media has always been acrimonious, and the result of this game made them sarcastic and sarcastic about Cleveland. James almost became a buffoon in the New York media, and the Cleveland Cavaliers were also regarded as a wishful toad who gathered a few losers to try to overthrow the rule of Goat Suzy.

Because Cleveland reporters don't want to be decent themselves.

He was asking the question 'How much better is a lot better' in the Cleveland Cavaliers? ''Are you afraid of the next encounter? "Are you preparing for future failure?" he said harshly.

The reporter was speechless.

"Much better means you finally didn't give up the game in the first half. Why should I be afraid of a team that has never defeated me? The team that needs to prepare for failure should be you."

Su Xi said forcefully.

Although young players such as David Lee and Channing Frye have made great progress this season, the offense is like mercury pouring down. But I have to admit that without insiders, it is still very passive.

Many people even think that Isiah Thomas's irony is just for a short time. The Cavaliers will definitely take advantage of this and play stronger next time, and then double the money will come back.

The competition continues in January.

The Knicks are still racing all the way, and their running and gunning is even more extreme than the Phoenix Suns.

Instead, the Cavaliers began to make more tactical attempts after their winning streak was interrupted.

For Mike Brown, since he has already been mocked by Isaiah Thomas, he might as well study new tactics. What if Ilgauskas gets injured again in the playoffs?

There must always be records.

When O'Neal arrived, some experts were worried that O'Neal and James would not be a good fit.

But in fact, for superstars who are still in their prime, cooperation is not a problem at all as long as they are willing.

O'Neal likes to play singles inside, and James likes to attack inside. This seems to overlap. But it can also be a double impact, not to mention, once O'Neal starts eating pie, he will be the strongest pie king in NBA history!

It's not like James doesn't have the ability to shoot mid-range jump shots.

Plus Mike Brown gives them a circle of shooters.

The Cavaliers are getting better.

In the eyes of authoritative experts such as Larry Brown, the team is increasingly looking like a dominant player in the Eastern Conference.

However, when the Eastern Conference hegemons entered February, O'Neal was snatched away from first place in the All-Star voting list by Zach Randolph.

Randolph began to prepare for a comeback, and Su Xi also began to canvass votes for him.

"Why can't the Knicks have three All-Star starters?"

Su Xi's words caused the votes of David Lee and Zach Randolph to soar rapidly.

This caused dissatisfaction among many Eastern Conference players, who were unconvinced. But what can you do if you are not convinced?

The Knicks are so strong, even if Zach Randolph doesn't play, they still have the first record.

...

This year's All-Star Game is held in Las Vegas. This is the second time that Las Vegas has hosted the All-Star Game.

Las Vegas has always wanted to own an NBA team, but has been unable to do so for various reasons. Including the owner who acquired the Kings, he once wanted to bring an NBA team to this entertainment capital.

However, the alliance has too many concerns.

All-Star voting data is fixed one week before the All-Star Game.

Susie, David Lee, and Zach Randolph got their wish to get the three starting positions in the Eastern Conference, and Isiah Thomas was also elected as the All-Star head coach again.

For a moment, the momentum was overwhelming.

Many teams are saying privately: Let them be proud, let them be arrogant. Later in the playoffs, they were beaten.

Many people are waiting for the Knicks to suffer a setback.

They felt that the Knicks were acting too domineering and arrogant.

At this point, Zach Randolph returns.

At the same time, Jerome James returned to the Knicks' lineup, and the Knicks really did not find a suitable human shield.

So, Isiah Thomas sets his sights on James.

Jerome James is LeBron James’ nemesis.

What people didn't expect is that Jerome James' body shape didn't change much after he retired. He began to adjust his condition after receiving the call from Thomas, and then he walked into the Knicks training facility a week before the All-Star Game and told everyone: I am ready.

After a training session, he certainly did not perform as well as last season. This is unrealistic and inconsistent with scientific laws.

However, he clearly still had gas in the tank. In the playoffs, it takes a few minutes to hold on.

It would be nice to give the players a breather.

The Knicks lost in their first game back with Zach Randolph and Jerome James.

Lost to the New Jersey Nets.

The Nets have now completely become a second-tier team in the Eastern Conference, but the Knicks still failed to win.

Because, the Knicks started Jerome James and Zach Randolph at the same time.

Bold or not?
And Jerome James was beaten until he couldn't move at all. He played for 23 minutes. During the halftime break, he lay directly in the locker room and never wanted to get up.

He told Su Xi: "I feel like it's hard to breathe."

Su Xi smiled and said, "Just wait, your test has just begun."

Randolph didn't play Jerome James for as long, but at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, Suhi put Randolph on the court and let Randolph play in singles.

Give him all the key balls.

Randolph shot poorly, and then the Nets won.

Subsequently, the Knicks lost to the Wizards and Trail Blazers.

The Wizards are now a little bit better under the leadership of Arenas.

Su Xi has a very good relationship with Arenas, and he is happy with what Arenas has achieved so far. Of course, Arenas is even more happy. He didn't expect Su Xi to reach this position.

After losing to the Wizards, the Knicks lost to the Trail Blazers.

This hurts.

Because the Knicks hold the Trail Blazers' unprotected draft picks this season, the Trail Blazers are completely ruined. They have devoted themselves to cultivating two rookies, Brandon Roy and Aldridge.

These two are definitely immature.

However, the Knicks are also wholeheartedly cultivating two big fat guys, Randolph and Jerome.

So, the Trail Blazers won.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers are still the deputy squad leader of the league. In theory, they have the greatest possibility of getting the first pick.

Now, as the Trail Blazers' record gets worse and worse, many people in the league are saying: If the Knicks get the No. 1 pick, it will be over.

Because the Knicks are already at their peak, Susie already dominates the league.

If you give him Greg Oden who can dominate the NBA for 20 years, how can he dominate the league for the next years?
Now the American basketball circle is hyping up Greg Oden. Oden is called the next ruler. People say he is a combination of Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and his concrete dominance is even more amazing than O'Neal.

The worst can be Russell.

This kind of praise made Su Xi feel like he was back in 2003, when he praised James with the same strength.

But there are more business reasons for touting James.

Now, experts always praise it from the perspective of basketball.

This made Susie and Isiah Thomas hesitate, especially Isiah Thomas, who was a little confused and obsessed.

He watched Greg Oden's college tape, and he also thought Oden was extraordinary and worth betting on.

However, Su Xi said: "The league is not so kind. They may not let the Blazers get the first pick. Moreover, the hot one will die."

Now, the Knicks are hesitant.

Are they going to make another deal?

This deal is actually what Su Xi is inclined to do.

Trade Millsap to Milicic.

Milicic went to the Magic in circles, and he completely failed to fulfill his talent back then. As the youngest player in the 2003 class, he is not very old now, younger than some rookies.

However, he doesn't have many opportunities with the Magic.

Magic is all about mobility.

The Magic took a fancy to Knicks rookie Millsap.

Millsap's draft pick is completely incomparable to Milicic's.

However, Millsap is having a great season and is very efficient in his minutes. As the season went on, his playing time increased.

He and David Lee have very similar styles. Both are good at pick-and-rolls and both have mid-range jumpers.

The Magic are lacking this.

Therefore, they took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the Knicks.

Now everyone knows that the Knicks lack a seven-footer, otherwise they would not let Jerome James return.
