Chapter 693 Little Emperor Vs Legendary Liu
Yao Min once again left Dallas depressed. He didn't have to win Liu Han, but just wanted to get better statistics, but obviously, he couldn't take advantage of a team like the Mavericks.

What made Yao Min even more depressed was that he could hardly run in the fourth quarter of this game. The Mavericks' quick offensive and defensive transitions were not something a big center like him could keep up with, but even so, Van Gundy still Let Yao Min play, this is what puzzled Yao Min the most. He felt that it was useless to let him play in this way, even though the Mavericks were on the bench for the entire fourth quarter.

The Rockets finally lost to the Mavericks 88 to 117 in the away game. Yao Min only scored 12 points and 10 rebounds in the game. Although it is a double-double data, such data does not match his reputation at all.

The Mavericks' schedule after the All-Star break is relatively unfavorable. Although there is a home game, an away game and a back-to-back home game still consume a lot of players.

But after the end of the game with the Rockets, the Mavericks will have a two-day rest, after which they will go to Cleveland, and their next opponent is the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers have actually received a lot of attention from the league this season, after all, they have a "little emperor" in their team.

This season's draft is a draft that the league values ​​quite a lot. Some players in the rookies are the "cornerstones" that the league regards as the future. If the league needs to develop, it must have enough talented players to join and grow up continuously. It is the experience that David Stern has summed up after these years of leadership. Compared with the star players trained by the previous "free-range" method, this "domestic" method has a significantly higher success rate, and it is also easy to operate.

In David Stern's plan, Liu Han needs to be wooed. At least within five years, Liu Han will become the "Nanbo Bay" of the alliance, and after that, emerging superstars will replace Liu Han's position and continue The glory and attractiveness of the league, as for where the emerging superstars come from, Stern is optimistic about this year's rookies, especially LeBron James.

In fact, at the beginning of the draft, the league and the media were more optimistic about Anthony. After all, he looked more comprehensive, capable inside and outside, and had a more positive image. Yes, but his personality flaws have also been detected by everyone. In contrast, James appears to be more mature. The potential of the "boss", so now the league values ​​James more, and as for Milicic, who is second in the list, well, the fate of that kid has been a "tragedy" in the past six months.

Although the Cavaliers' 20 wins and 33 losses so far can't squeeze into the top eight in the East, there is no doubt that their situation is improving. LeBron has received a lot of support after encountering some problems at the beginning. His superiority makes it easy for him to get the support of some people. From the initial Ricky Davis being quickly traded and the referee's intentional or unintentional care, these all show that many people are optimistic about LeBron.

As for the regular season between the Mavericks and the Cavaliers, although it is an ordinary game, in the eyes of some fans, the real strength of this rookie can be seen in the duel with Liu Han. After all, the media called Liu Han before. Han is the "experience instrument for rookies in the 03 class", and the Mavericks have not played against the Cavaliers this season. This will be a good occasion for James to show his true strength. Of course, it may also be a place for LeBron to experience the top level of NBA strength. Good occasion.

Before this game, the Chicago media, who have always had a lot of "resentment" with Liu Han, once again heated up this game. They said that Liu Han will "educate" LeBron how to really play in the NBA. In fact, their purpose is very clear. , It is to create more enemies for Liu Han, and at the same time deal a blow to the Cavaliers, the direct opponents in the East who entered the playoffs. Although the Bulls seem to have no hope of getting ahead, they still have to do this.

As for the Cleveland media, they are much more low-key. They are well aware of Liu Han's strength, and they also know that it is impossible for LeBron to confront Liu Han head-on. Moreover, the current lineup of the Cavaliers also has obvious flaws. It is obviously unwise for the core of the future team to establish an enemy like Liu Han.

But LeBron himself has shown a maturity that does not match his age. In an interview with the media, he clearly pointed out that the most important thing for him in this game is to learn from Liu Han how to play correctly. As for the result of the game, LeBron said that he Will try my best.

Although his speech was somewhat official, at least he respected Liu Han very much, which was in stark contrast to Anthony.

In fact, Liu Han himself wants to really verify LeBron's strength. He has watched the opponent's game video, and Liu Han is quite optimistic about LeBron James' physical fitness. In Liu Han's opinion, the "bulldozer" layup Although the technical content is not high, the dominance is still strong. After all, there are few outside players who can withstand LeBron's strong attack head-on, and Liu Han is more optimistic about LeBron because of his positive attitude. Through the game video, he found that LeBron is in the The improvement in the past half of the season is very obvious, and LeBron is not the kind of single-minded player. People who are too paranoid may have achieved greater achievements in the past, but now that the confrontation is becoming more and more fierce, they will either become superstars. , or self-destruction, LeBron has an innate advantage, which is enough to keep him from going too far.

After the All-Star Game, the league is actually worried that the following regular season will not be attractive enough. After all, the season has come to an end. It is an indisputable fact that some teams are poor. Therefore, the No. The head-to-head confrontation has become the key to speculation.

Therefore, this matchup between the Mavericks and the Cavaliers has become a hot spot in this round of the game, and it has won the opportunity to broadcast live across the United States.

The Mavericks rushed to Cleveland one day earlier. This is not because they paid too much attention to the Cavaliers, but because Nelson didn't want the players to be too tired. After crossing more than half of the United States, it was actually a game against the opponent on the same day. There is a risk of injury, so if possible, the next Mavericks away game will try to arrive one day in advance. This is the suggestion given to Nelson by the Mavericks' medical team.

Although Cleveland's media and fans are very low-key, most fans still want to see their team compete with the Mavericks, who are now number one in the league.
