The Fifth Point Guard

　　 Just as the teams were gearing up to prepare for the new season, the much-watched Lakers made an explosive news.

　　 On the night of June 30, 2003, Bryant took his private jet and arrived in Eagle County, Colorado.

　　 He will go to the local famous Hawkins Clinic the next morning to undergo knee surgery.

　　 The arrival time that night is about 10pm.

　　 "Hey, hello, give us a few rooms, we need a good rest." Kobe said to the cute receptionist girl.

　　 "Wow, Kobe, it's an honor to meet you." The girl at the front desk smiled like a flower.

　　 Maybe it was the youthful breath that attracted Kobe, or maybe he was in a good mood recently.

　　 Kobe asked: "Hey, what's your name?"

　　 The girl replied: "Caitlin, Caitlin Phoebe."

　　 When checking in at the front desk, the two talked happily.

　　 Then, Kobe entered the room accompanied by bodyguards.

　　 A few minutes later, Phoebe was invited into the room.

　　 About 20 minutes, the girl walked out of Kobe's room.

　　 Then, the famous "Eagle County Incident" happened.

　　Although Kobe went to the clinic for surgery the next day as scheduled, and nothing seemed unusual, but in the early morning of July 2nd, the Eagle County police rushed to the resort and took Kobe away.

　　 Two days later, the Eagle County Police issued a formal arrest warrant against Kobe.

　　 This incident caused an uproar, you know, Vanessa was pregnant at the time.

　　 After discussing with his agent Pelinka, accompanied by Vanessa, Bryant held a press conference and made some statements and explanations on the case.

　　 In order to obtain his wife’s forgiveness, Kobe gave Vanessa a $4 million diamond ring to restore the beauty.

　　 Unfortunately, due to the extremely depressed mood and poor physical condition, the child in Vanessa’s belly was not saved in the end.

　　 Kobe left tears of regret.

　　 I knew so long ago, why bother.

　　 What's more, there is still a knee injury, so I can't kneel.

　　 For this case, Kobe is so exhausted, it seems that the whole season will be running back and forth between the court and the court.

　　 Kobe’s accident has made other competitors in the West very happy.

　　 At least one corner of the Lakers' F4 combination has collapsed.

　　......

　　Although there is constant news from the outside world, under the leadership of Paul Silas, the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers have always focused their attention and energy on the team itself.

　　 The team almost changed a whole coaching team this summer.

After Silas became the team’s head coach, he brought his sons Stephen Silas, Mark Ossos, and Jim Boylan to the team. These three will become the team’s new assistants this season. coach.

　　 There are two strength and fitness coaches, Steve Spiro and Derek Miranda.

　　Spiro is in charge of strength training, while Miranda is in charge of physical fitness.

　　 Unlike Derek Allen, Spiro and Miranda's attitude towards strength and physical fitness is not a devil-style training, but an emphasis on self-discipline, persistence, and accumulation of improvement over time.

　　 "I don't ask you to achieve what kind of results in one day, two days, or one week or two weeks, but I ask you to continue to complete the required training and exercise volume every day and keep it going."

　　......

　　 After the summer training in September and the summer league in October, the team has determined the 15-man squad for the new season.

　　 The fans can’t wait to see the Cavaliers’ new players gallop at Gund Arena in the new season.

　　 The 15-man roster of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2003-04 season:

　　 Center: Zaidrunas-Ilgauskas, 2.21 meters, No. 11; (captain)

　　 Center: DeSagana Diop, 2.13 meters, No. 52;

　　 Center/Power Forward: Tony Barty, 2.11 meters, No. 4;

　　 Power forward: Carlos Boozer, 2.06 meters, No. 1;

　　 Power forward: Michael Stewart, 2.08 meters, No. 13;

　　 Small forward: LeBron James, 2.03 meters, No. 23; (rookie, deputy captain)

　　 Small forward: Eric Williams, 2.03 meters, No. 55;

　　 Small forward: Ira-Newbell, 2.01 meters, No. 14;

　　 Small forward: Jason Kapono, 2.03 meters, No. 24; (Rookie)

　　 Shooting guard: Shen Tong, 2.00 meters, No. 25; (Deputy Captain)

　　 Shooting guard: Kederick Brown, 2.01 meters, No. 5;

　　 Shooting guard/pointing guard: Dajuan Wagner, 1.88 meters, No. 2;

　　 Point guard: Jeff McGinnis, 1.93 meters, No. 0;

　　 Point guard: Kevin Ollie, 1.93 meters, No. 12;

　　 Point guard: Martin Chris, 1.88 meters, No. 8.

　　......

　　 After the run-in before the regular season, the team's starting lineup has also been determined.

　　 The choice of center is undisputed, and Ilgauskas from Lithuania locked the starting spot.

　　 Since being selected by the Cavaliers with the 20th overall pick in the first round in 1996, Ilgauskas has been playing for the Cavaliers for the seventh year.

　　 Loyalty and strength, Ilgauskas is honored as the "Big Z" by Cleveland fans.

　　 Since Ilgauskas’ English spelling is Zydrunas, and he is tall, it is more appropriate to call him “Big Z”.

　　 After all, his name is too long, even longer than Dikembe-Mutombo’s name...

　　 Big Z averaged 17.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game last season, making him an excellent inside player.

　　 The power forward's starting lineup was sophomore Carlos Boozer.

　　 In last season, Boozer averaged 10 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

　　 Constrained by the disadvantage of height, Boozer's ability to block shots is not strong, but his strength and muscles are enough to fight against other opponents in the same position, and he can keep opposing players away from the penalty area.

　　 is the same violent power forward as Kenyon Martin of the original Nets ~www.ltnovel.com~ except that Boozer's shooting ability is much better than Martin, and Martin's jumping ability is far better than Boozer.

　　 There is no suspense about the positions of small forwards and shooting guards.

　　 The young pair of James and Shentong are highly anticipated.

　　 The point guard is the weakest link in the Cavaliers lineup.

　　 After reviewing the summer league, Silas chose McGinnis as the team's starting point guard.

　　 In the 01-02 season, McGinnis, who was the Clippers' starter at the time, averaged 14.6 points and 6.2 assists per game, making him a qualified point guard.

　　 In addition, McGinnis has a height of 1.93 meters and a relatively sturdy body. He has a certain physical advantage in defense.

　　 For McGinnis, Silas didn't have high requirements.

　　 I don't expect McGinnis to shine, as long as he doesn't make a mistake, it is enough.

　　 This requirement is no problem for McGinnis.

　　......

　　 Everything is ready, just owe the game.

　　 On October 28, 2003, the regular season of the new NBA season will officially start.

　　 In the first game of the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will challenge the Western powers, the Satramento Kings on the road.
