Chapter 1002 I Believe In You

After Meng Yun's three consecutive triple-doubles, the Heat ushered in a very important game, encountering the Eastern Conference powerhouse, the opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the Cavaliers led by LeBron James.

This season, the Cavaliers lacked Irving, and the strength loss was not small. The previous record was also somewhat unsatisfactory. The current record ranks fifth in the Eastern Conference, which is not as good as the young 76ers.

This made the fans a little dissatisfied, and there were constant criticisms. After all, even without Irving, there were still James and Love, which logically shouldn't be like this.

But the Cavaliers obviously don't care. For them, the regular season is not their goal, and the playoffs are the real starting point.

As for whether they can enter the playoffs, the Cavaliers are not worried about this, because with James, he is the guarantee of the playoffs. In almost is.

But for the Heat, the Cavaliers dare not take it lightly.

Six o'clock in the afternoon, Quicken Loans Arena.

The audience is full of Cavaliers fans. Last season, the Cavaliers lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals.

They desperately want revenge.

"Kill the Heat, kill the Heat."

"The Cavaliers must win, the Heat are trash."

In the auditorium, the fans were shouting, they don't care whether James has been with the Heat for a few years, let alone you Meng Yun, they are Cavaliers fans, they only serve the Cavaliers, everything else is rubbish.

It's very direct, very unreasonable, but also very pure.

The audience booed and cursed, Xiang Long frowned slightly, Meng Yun patted him with a smile, and said: "We and the Cavaliers are old enemies, and we have many grievances. This kind of treatment is normal. If the Cavaliers arrive at American Airlines The arena, it won't be much better than what we have now."

"Yeah." Xiang Long nodded.

Soon the Cavaliers players also played one by one.

James took the initiative to come here, hugged Meng Yun, and said with a smile: "You have played very well in these few games. I believe the future belongs to you."

Meng Yun immediately rolled his eyes, and said speechlessly: "Is there a second part of the sentence called 'but it's still mine'? LeBron, how many people have you fooled with this sentence?"

James froze for a moment, then laughed: "Haha, no, I guarantee you are the first. Really, I am optimistic about you, the future of the league is definitely yours."

"I believe you are a ghost." Meng Yun cursed.

Although the relationship is now hostile, Meng Yun and James are still friends in private, and this time Meng Yun obviously feels that James' attitude is different from before.Although I was warm and enthusiastic before, I always felt that something was missing, but now I have that little thing.

That is the recognition of strength.

For Meng Yun in the past, although he was a friend, James would treat him warmly and even appear very close, such as treating JR and TT, but it does not mean that he recognized their strength.Because closeness is related to closeness, but this kind of recognition is only related to strength. JR and TT do not have that kind of strength.So treating them is always less than James not treating Wade, Paul, Anthony and others.

The same is true for Meng Yun before.

However, after last season's Eastern Conference finals and Meng Yun's performance this season, James recognized Meng Yun's strength and put Meng Yun on the same level as himself, so he treated Meng Yun more and treated Wei The same thing as De, Anthony and others.

Even if Meng Yun is only 22 years old, it has nothing to do with age.

China, City S.

Yao Ming and Zhang Mingji were also watching the game.

"Dayao." Zhang Mingji asked: "I remember that the Heat played almost [-] games before, and you only watched one game, which was against the Warriors, and you didn't watch the rest. Why did you suddenly remember to watch the game today? Because today the Heat are playing against the Cavaliers?"

"Yeah." Yao Ming nodded and said, "If the Heat can reach the finals again this season, I think most of them will still meet the Warriors. As for the Cavaliers, I think the Cavaliers will be the biggest factor in whether the Heat can reach the finals again this season." stumbling block."

"Oh?" Zhang Mingji raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "You value the Cavaliers so much? You must know that the current record of the Cavaliers is not very good, and without Irving, Thomas Jr. was sent away, and Clarkson was traded from the Lakers. And Nance, but I don't think Clarkson and Nance can help the Cavaliers much."

Today is different from the past. Last season, the Heat's lineup was not as good as the Cavaliers, but now the Cavaliers have no advantage in the lineup. If James and Meng Yun are removed, the current lineup of the Cavaliers may not be as good as the Heat, even if they are still there. There is happiness.

That's why Yao Ming said that "the Cavaliers will be the biggest obstacle to whether the Heat can make it to the finals." weak.

"But the Cavaliers have James." Yao Ming said: "Some people are indeed very different. They can change the entire team. James is such a person. Not only because of his strength, but also because of his leadership. Someone said , James can turn any team into a championship team when James arrives. This may be a bit exaggerated, but to put it another way, James can turn any team into a championship team immediately To be a playoff team, I agree with that statement."

"So don't look at the current record of the Cavaliers as if they are not very good, but they will definitely not fall out of the top eight. And don't forget, the James in the playoffs is the real James."

Saying that, Yao Ming concluded: "I don't think there is any team in the East that can beat the Cavaliers in the playoffs except for the Heat."

Zhang Mingji shook his head and said with a smile: "Your conclusion is a bit arbitrary, and I won't argue with you. Let's watch the game."

Yao Ming spread his hands together: "I didn't fight for anything? Didn't you mention this first?"

Zhang Mingji stared, Yao Ming laughed, and said no more, just looked at the TV screen.

This game is the first time the Heat and the Cavaliers have played against each other since last season's Eastern Conference Finals. Yao Ming doesn't really care about the outcome. This is the regular season, and the outcome of a game doesn't matter much.And it's just a game, there are many factors that affect the outcome.

If it comes to the playoffs and there are several games to play, some factors that affect the outcome will be gradually eliminated, and in the end it will depend on strength.

But now, it is a process of testing and testing.

For example, the lineups of both sides have changed. How will they be sure to be different from last season when facing each other?Observe the opponent during the game, summarize the research, and wait until the playoffs to meet in order to deal with it in a targeted manner.
