The Godfather of Basketball

In the end, it was Tang Tian who gave Thibodeau some face and let the rookies finish the entire fourth quarter.

116 to 92, the Cavaliers beat the Rockets by 24 points in the home opener, starting in an unprecedentedly strong way.

The Big Three basically only played in the first half. Yao Ming scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, James scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Paul scored 13 points, 5 assists and 3 steals. Outside of the Big Three, Green, Anderson, Lance, and Brown all scored. In double.

This is the standard bloodless war.

"I'm thinking about whether to give the Big Three more playing time. Otherwise, the media should say that their strength has declined significantly after the season ends." Tang Tian was in a very good mood after the match. , also joked with the media.

The reporters burst into laughter.

Tang Tian's humor made the reporters laugh, but it also made the other teams a little upset.

This is a joke!

snort! Look, we will mock you to death when you lose!

After two days of rest, the Cavaliers continued to sit down to meet the Knicks.

The Knicks signed Stoudemire in the summer, and together with a group of young players, they beat the Pacers 103 to 73 in the opening game, and their strength improved significantly.

This game is also a "strong" dialogue.

121 to 93, the Cavaliers beat the Knicks by 28 points, without giving their opponents a chance.

Stoudemire scored a large double-double with 32 points and 15 rebounds, but it didn't help at all. The Knicks couldn't stop the Big Three at all.

James had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Yao Ming had 17 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, and Paul had 19 points, 6 assists and 3 steals.

Because the suspense had been lost in the third quarter of the game, Tang Tian still hadn't been able to give the Big Three enough playing time to "clear" the data.

109 to 68, the Cavaliers went further in the third game, 40 points brutal Pistons.

112 to 76, without a rest, they washed the Nets back to back.

After a week of games, 4 wins and 0 losses, with an average margin of 30+.

In the weak East, a lineup like the Cavaliers simply can't find opponents.

After a week of home games, the Cavaliers boarded a plane to Memphis for their first three-way trip of the season.

After the Grizzlies introduced "Black Bear" Randolph last year, their internal strength has improved significantly. Coupled with the growth of newcomers such as Gay and Mayo, and the signing of powerful players like Tony Allen this summer, they are currently 3 wins and 1 loss. Ranked second in the west, it has a rising trend.

Before the game, Tang Tian greeted his former disciples Gasol Jr. and Hayes, and the scene was once warm.

However, when the reporter interviewed the new Grizzlies aid Tony Allen, the defensive champion was very tough.

"We are the most unyielding team in the league. We are not afraid of any opponent. We will bite the opponent until the last moment."

After all, Allen is someone who has played in the finals, and his words are full of fighting spirit.

"But the Cavaliers are undefeated. They don't even seem to have a weakness. This is the strongest team in the league in the past ten years, or even twenty years." The reporter reminded.

"No, any team has weaknesses." Allen said.

The reporter looked at Allen suspiciously.

"Bringing in, when I was in Boston, even those three guys took a long time to get in. The Cavaliers played the Rockets in the first game. Between the two old opponents, the outcome, the point difference, everything is different. It is possible, as for the next few games, the opponents are relatively weak and have no reference value, so people ignore this point."

After listening to the reporter thoughtful, Allen's analysis made sense.

The first season of the Cavaliers' Big Three will definitely take time to adjust, and it's nothing more than the length of the adjustment.

Allen's interview took place at the Grizzlies halfcourt, and his teammates heard it all.

After the reporter's interview was over, they pulled Allen to talk, and they could see that these words had greatly improved their morale.

At the start of the game, the Grizzlies were defensive but full of energy, with Randolph and Gasol inside, Allen and Conley outside, and the defensive aggressiveness was outrageous.

Relying on their outstanding performance on the defensive end, the Grizzlies managed to limit the Cavaliers' scoring to less than 30 points at the end of the first quarter, trailing the Cavaliers by 18 points 9-27.

The Cavaliers' Big Three let the Grizzlies do their best on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, both Gasol Jr. and Randolph like to hit the basket. Once the Cavaliers shrink, they can't do much. Tony Allen has no offensive ability. This score is a bit horrible.

Although they were behind by many points, the Grizzlies were really tough. They didn't give up and fought the Cavaliers to the end.

In the end, the Cavaliers beat the Grizzlies 98 to 73, winning 5 consecutive victories.

The toughness of the Grizzlies is admirable, and the Big Three of the Cavaliers finally played their due time.

James had 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Yao Ming had 26 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, and Paul had 21 points, 10 assists and 2 steals.

The tough defense of the Grizzlies successfully prevented the Cavaliers' role players from scoring, but failed to stop the Big Three.

The crushing of pure personal strength.

At the press conference after the game, a reporter mentioned Allen's remarks before the game.

"Yes, Tony has experience in this area, he just doesn't understand the situation." Tang Tian was very calm.

"LeBron, Yao and Paul are all pass-first teams. They will find the teammates who are in the most suitable offensive position. If you watch the game carefully, you will find that many of their assists are sent. for each other."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, the reporters nodded as if they had realized something, as if it was true.

The role players of the Cavaliers did not play well in this game, accumulating 5 of 30 shots, but the assist data of the Big Three is not ugly. One can imagine how much they cooperated with each other in the game.

The three can play and pass, which is completely unmatched by other Big Three teams.

"And in fact, in September, LeBron, Yao and Paul had already started training in the training hall ahead of schedule." Tang Tian continued.

When he opened his mouth, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar.

Start training in September? !

It is not uncommon for NBA teams to train in advance, but most of them start in early October, directly in early September. It is really rare, and the core of the team takes the lead.

Not to mention that this team is still a team of James, Yao Ming, and Paul.

Just the three of them together, in fact, without training, talent alone is enough to crush most opponents.

But they start training so long in advance!

This really echoes the saying: Don’t be afraid that others are more talented than you, but be afraid that talented people will work harder than you.

"So, what is running-in?" Tang Tian finally said with a smile.

The reporters were all taken aback.

This pretending is a bit domineering!

But it seems that people can't refute it!
