For players, full training will make people feel that time passes quickly.

But for the fans who don't watch the game, the off-season is always long and boring. Especially when the dust of big deals and signing is settled, the fans are more eager to see the start of the season as soon as possible and meet their favorite stars on the pitch as soon as possible.

Summer trading and summer training always fall into the regular season.

Time, whether fast or slow, will eventually reach that point.

The 2004-2005 season is about to begin.

Before that, there were several warm-up preseasons, which not only helped the players who had been out of battle for a long time to find the feeling of the game as soon as possible, but also allowed the team to better run in the lineup and play a good state at the beginning of the new season.

For Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas, he has a lot of work to do. Originally, in James's previous life, he had long been out of class and failed to keep the position of Cavaliers head coach. However, in this life, James led the team into the second round of the playoffs unexpectedly. The results really surprised the top management of the Cavaliers, so Silas also successfully kept his job.

The first thing Silas needs to do is to find a suitable starting lineup and substitute rotation lineup in these preseason games.

At present, he can determine only three starting positions, that is, James's small forward position, which is impossible to shake, the most iron and stable position, the other two are power Z in the center position and Zach Randolph in the power forward position.

The substitutes behind these three positions are also certain. Ariza can play as a substitute for James, Valerio as a substitute for big Z, and drew Gooden as a substitute for Randolph.

What bothers Silas is the position of point guard and point guard.

McGinnis is the main point guard of the Cavaliers in the second half of last season. From the data, it is also unsatisfactory and barely.

Does the new season start with rookie Paul to replace McGinnis to play master?

This makes Silas a little uncertain. Yes, Paul showed good talent in training, but Silas can't be sure whether the real situation on the field will still be like this.

Because there are always some training players who perform very well in training and wither as soon as they arrive on the field.

For example, some Qi, many people say that he performed well in NBA training, but he couldn't play at all.

Will Paul be the same? Silas has to see it again.

Then there is the position of point guard. Last season, this position was the weakest position of the Cavaliers. Several players were used successively, which could not satisfy Silas.

Wagner can attack occasionally, but he can't defend. Using him is tantamount to opening the door in this position and allowing the opponent to score points against him.

Newbell has no offensive ability and can defend. Now there is another Tony Allen who is a little similar. Silas has a headache.

According to his idea, he shouldn't have chosen Jr Smith in the eighth place and Kevin Martin in the nineteenth place. It's good to be used as a point guard all of a sudden.

In fact, the selected rookies are not very in Silas's mind, but he can't say anything about it. As far as he knows, even the general manager of the Cavaliers seems to be speechless, which was directly pressed down by the boss.

Why did the boss make such an arrangement? It is said that it was made after a secret talk with a privileged player in the team.

It is not difficult to infer that the team's draft decision is inextricably related to the privileged player, even Boozer's deal seems to be the same.

It is precisely because we can infer these causes and consequences that Silas is in a dilemma. Should we consider the face of the privileged player and replace Paul and Tony Allen in the starting position?

He couldn't help but want to sigh. Alas, being a head coach is a very difficult job. It's difficult. I'm too south.

His idea is to use the preseason to try out different starting lineups as much as possible to see that the effect is better.

After all, it can make your decision easier on the premise of facts and data.

In the first preseason game, he put McGinnis and newbell in the starting position to cooperate with the other three players who have determined the starting position.

Then McGinnis only sent three assists in this game, less than half of James's 10 assists. Newbell's state is relatively better. Although he has made no great achievements in the offensive end, he is still conscientious in the defensive end, sending out two blocks and two steals.

In the second game, Paul and Tony Allen came to the starting line-up. In this game, James and Paul were present at the same time. The Cavaliers played a lot more smoothly in attack, and Tony Allen tried his best to lock his opponent at the defensive end.

In this game, the Cavaliers won by 17 points.

Then Silas disrupted and used it. Sometimes he put McGinnis in the starting lineup, and then built Tony Allen to form the guard line. Sometimes, in turn, he used the combination of Paul and newbell, and even built the double control backcourt of McGinnis and Paul.

Not to mention, when the Cavaliers played double control, they played really well.

Paul is not as tall as McGinnis, so he focuses on position 1 at this time. McGinnis goes to position 2, and then catches James. The Cavaliers' ball transfer speed is faster. He runs on the court and plays for several rounds, and the scoring efficiency is quite high.

With the advance of the preseason, Paul's performance on the court is getting better and better. He and James complement each other. When Paul is on the court, James attacks more resolutely, and Paul also shows a good attack power, which shows that he can become a good attack choice for the Cavaliers, So you can help contain your opponent when James attacks.

In addition, don't forget Randolph's strong eating in the low position and accurate mid-range shooting, as well as big Z's pick and roll cover in the high position and happy eating cakes.

The cooperation between Cavaliers players seems to be slowly finding a feeling, that is, the chemical reaction is slowly producing.

When James, Paul, Randolph and big Z can attack, it doesn't seem to matter that the attacking ability of the point guard in the starting lineup is weaker.

So at the start of the last preseason, Paul Silas finally determined the Cavaliers' starting lineup for the new season: Paul, newbell, James, Randolph and big Z.

(it's double eleven tonight. Has anyone started to rush to buy it? After coding this chapter, I'm going to grab a desk and chair to make myself more comfortable when coding, hehe.)
