The All-Star Game came to an end, and Tang Tian also returned to Cleveland.
The league was turbulent on the trade deadline, but because of Tang Tian ’s intervention, Kevin Martin remained with the King and Antoine Jamison also remained with the Wizards. Most of the trade was small.
To say that the only big deal is that the Rockets used Dragic and the future first-round picks, made a three-way deal with the Suns and Bulls, got John Salmons, and finally the bench Strength has been a major addition.
The Cavaliers also spent the day calmly.
For the first time after Tang Tian joined the league, he had a good night's sleep.
And Hathaway.
Hathaway participated in the Victoria's Secret Show and officially entered the ranks of top-level supermodels. The price has skyrocketed. Basically, she only participated in T-shows a few times a year.
Most of the time, she was with Tang Tian.
A woman is a flower. Self-maintenance is not enough. It must be moisturized by dew to bloom more beautifully.
Hathaway is more charming every day.
Thanks to Tang Tian, the coach is not a player, otherwise playing on the field will definitely be greatly affected.
The Cavaliers are also playing steadily. As of early March, the record of 41 wins and 23 losses, although not particularly eye-catching, has always remained in the forefront of the East.
Everything is moving in a favorable direction.
The only slot is Novak.
The Cavaliers traded Novak to the team before the All-Star game, but because of the depth of the small forward, they have not played so far.
This attracted a lot of fans.
"We are not a big city like New York and Los Angeles. 3 million is a big expenditure for the team. This transaction is completely unnecessary."
"I don't understand what this deal is for. We have so many three-point shooters, and Novak's defense is very general. Just because it is a former disciple, we have to trade?"
"Novak is no longer the Rockets' Novak. He didn't get playing time on a junk team like the Kings. He can't even play NBA-level games."
"The Cavaliers' goal is the championship. We don't need a junk contract or a waste."
...
These rumours have more or less spread to the Cavaliers.
Because Novak traded soon, his teammates were not familiar with him. When asked similar questions, most people chose to avoid it.
"No one is waste."
When a reporter finally asked Tang Tian one day, he gave the other party a cold face.
Cleveland is a small city. If Gilbert asked him such a question, he might analyze it for the other party, but for reporters and fans, this is too boring to find trouble for the team.
This night the Cavaliers took home the game with the Atlanta Hawks.
The fame of the Hawks is much worse than that of the Magic and Celtics, but in fact from the 07 ~ 08 season, the team traded Mike Bibby and selected Al Horford, then promoted to the east Strong and strong, the record is getting better each year, and this year it has reached a peak.
43 wins and 21 losses, ranked third in the East, better than the Cavaliers.
In other words, this game is a card battle for both parties.
Although everyone has to play in the playoffs, but no one wants to fight against the No. 1 Celtics in the semi-finals in the semi-finals. In that case, the other team is completely profitable.
So this game is crucial for both parties.
The game is played at the Cavaliers' home stadium of the Cavaliers.
After the game started, the two sides fell into anxiety.
The hard power of this Cavaliers is still much worse than that of the Rockets in the previous two years. If they play well with a strong team like the Hawks, if they play normally, it will be at most six or four.
The Hawks are particularly excited tonight. Horford and Smith are not high in the inside, but their athletic ability is quite good. Old O'Neal and Rashid Wallace can't run. Upper Brown was also suppressed by Horford's technical inside.
The Cavaliers suffered a loss inside, but fortunately there are James and outside shooter groups, the two sides have been deadlocked from the first quarter to the fourth quarter.
There was a final minute before the end of the game, "Eagle King" Joe Johnson succeeded in playing Matthews in the low post, helping the Hawks to overtake 110 points by 108 points.
The Cavaliers called a timeout.
"We made a three-pointer." Tang Tian pointed to Rashid Wallace.
Back from the timeout, the Cavaliers' small lineup, inside Rashid Wallace plus Artest, outside Grimma Matthews, plus a James.
James dribbles to the frontcourt, finds Artest to pick and roll, and after breaking open, he makes a layup and Artest moves to the top three-point line.
At the same time, Matthews asked Rashid Wallace for a ballless pick-and-roll. After the disassembly, one moved to 45 degrees, and the other moved to the base three-point line.
And Green also fell to the bottom corner of the other side early.
Four three-point opportunities, the Cavaliers excellent execution, played a perfect tactic.
James scored the ball to the right wing at a 45-degree angle, and Wallace received a free three-pointer after receiving the ball.
This shot is very positive.
"boom!"
However, the force is greater, and the ball bounces out after entering.
Horford pressed James to defensive rebounds.
Wallace patted the thigh annoyedly.
There was a restless scene.
This ball tactic was completely played out, it was Wallace's last shot that was a bit of luck.
After all, a three-pointer is not a dunk. Even for a veteran like Wallace, a critical open three-pointer cannot be guaranteed.
Bibby dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. After the others pulled it away, the ball reached Joe Johnson. Seeing that the Cavaliers weren't wrapped up, he continued to sink back.
In 10 years, Johnson was the "Eagle King". His back is almost unsolvable. Even Matthews is difficult to prevent.
Chisel, turn around, turn around again, turn around again and walk towards the bottom line, Matthews' stiff body didn't keep up.
However, at the moment when Johnson took the layup, James rushed out of the diagonal side, and the flying body of the cover broke Johnson's choice of a difficult air tie rod to make a layup.
"boom!"
The ball went out of the basket and James took off for the second time and received a defensive rebound.
Tang Tian called the Cavaliers the last timeout.
With 20 seconds left in the game, James pulled the Cavaliers back from the edge of the cliff at a critical moment.
Fans on the scene were agitated.
Two points behind, the Cavaliers have multiple options.
Either play 2 points, and then both sides play overtime.
Either press the time to hit 3 points and directly kill the opponent.
Of course there is also a kind, playing fast 2 points, and then against the opponent's lore ball, looking for opportunities to counter lore.
It depends on how Tang Tian chose ~ EbookFREE.me ~ called the team members together, looked at the breathless Wallace, and Artest and Matthews who were all in sweat, Tang Tian knew This game consumes a lot of players' physical strength.
Playing overtime is not necessarily a good thing for the Cavaliers.
But if you want to score 3 points, you have to make sure you hit it.
But Wallace's shot just explained the problem.
The veteran is still the same at the critical moment. Matthews and Green are rookies, and certainly not completely sure.
3 points.
Complete grasp.
Tang Tian thought of suddenly turning his attention to the team's bench.
"We make a three-pointer."
He continued.
