No one expected that the Cavaliers, who had just been traded, would perform so well. Even some of the Cavaliers' die-hard fans were a little surprised when they saw the Cavaliers easily slaughtering the Pistons.
Although the Pistons are also a team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, they also have some bright spots this season. The situation of the Cavaliers is not much better than that of the Pistons. Moreover, they have just completed two transactions and their lineup has not had time to adjust. Therefore, it is really impressive that the Cavaliers can win without any blood.
After this game, all the teams in the Eastern Conference began to pay more attention to the Cavaliers, especially those teams that were hopeful of making the playoffs. They did not want to be interfered by the Cavaliers and overturned in the playoffs. outside the gate.
After the game against the Pistons, Fang Chen praised his players at the press conference, especially young players like Jrue Holiday.
Tonight, Jrue Holiday performed outstandingly. Not only did he score the second-highest 24 points on the team, he also sent out 9 assists and 3 steals. He can be called the most valuable player of the game.
? **-Hixon contributed 18 points and 12 rebounds in the game, and was the only player on both sides to score a double-double.
The two players who have just transferred over, Stephen Jackson and Gerald Henderson, performed very well. The former scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and the latter scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. The rate is as high as 66%.
Since the Cavaliers have many players on the forward and defensive lines, Jason Kapono, who was traded from the 76ers, only got 5 minutes of playing time in this game. He made one of two shots from outside the three-point line and scored 3 point.
It can be said that the Cavaliers played almost flawlessly tonight, and even some harsh experts could not find any problems with them.
And what a few fans were worried about was that the Cavaliers' bench didn't have enough firepower, but it didn't appear in tonight's game. Gerald Henderson perfectly replaced Antoine Jamison and became the most reliable scoring point on the Cavaliers' bench.
Not only that, Gerald Henderson¡¯s defense in this game is also satisfactory. Of course, only Fang Chen knows that most of the reason is that Gerald Henderson got Ron Artest's ability.
In fact, Gerald Henderson is a young player with excellent defensive ability. His excellent physical fitness is also his advantage on the defensive end, and Henderson also has good defensive awareness, so he can become a player with top defensive ability among the younger generation.
Because of this, Fang Chen decided to add Ron Artest¡¯s abilities to him.
Fang Chen¡¯s intention is obvious. He wants to make Gerald Henderson a weapon on the defensive end. Obviously, the latter has this potential.
In addition to his excellent defense, Gerald Henderson is also quite good on the offensive end. His scoring methods are diverse and he can score from various positions on the court, especially mid-range shooting to a very high level.
Speaking of which, Gerald Henderson and Jrue Holiday were rookies in the same class, but the former was the twelfth pick in the first round, while the latter was the seventeenth pick.
However, Jrue Holiday¡¯s current reputation and potential are greater than Gerald Henderson.
Of course, this phenomenon is not surprising, because such examples are also common in NBA history.
For example, Kobe Bryant, one of the league¡¯s signature figures today, was only the 13th overall pick in the first round in 1996. But no one expected that this rookie who was ranked second to last in the lottery would continue to be the leader of the league a few years later.
There are countless such examples, such as ¡®General¡¯ Arenas, ¡®French Sports Car¡¯ Parker, ¡®Devil Sword¡¯ Ginobili, etc.
On the day after defeating the Pistons, the Cavaliers appeared in major newspapers and media, and their transactions and performance yesterday became the talk of many fans after dinner.
These fans are all talking about whether the Cavaliers can make the playoffs this season, because they all know that judging from the current form, the Cavaliers have not given up on this season.
From the thirteen-game losing streak at the beginning of the season to the subsequent five-game winning streak, the Cavaliers completed a short period of counterattack.
After five consecutive victories, they won one more and lost one, and now have a record of six wins and fourteen losses.
Although the Cavaliers are still only ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference, most fans know that if the Cavaliers can continue to maintain their current form, then their hope of reaching the playoffs will be great.
What's more, judging from the last game, the Cavaliers' current lineup is obviously better than the previous lineup, and no one knows whether the Cavaliers will make bigger trade moves in the future.
If there is, no one can guaranteeWill they turn things upside down in the East?

"Hi, dear Fang, are you feeling better?" Dan Gilbert greeted Fang Chen cordially.
Fang Chen was a little flattered because he didn't expect Dan Gilbert to call him personally.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gilbert, my health is great now." Fang Chen replied.
Dan Gilbert on the other side of the phone laughed and said: "Well, that's good. You are now the head coach of the team and our soul. Without you, no one knows what the team will do next." What a depravity.¡±
"UhMr. Gilbert is serious. I'm just doing my duty." Fang Chen was a little confused about Gilbert's purpose of making this call.
"Haha, young man, I believe you will achieve brilliant achievements here. By the way, if I remember correctly, tonight's opponent should be the Miami Heat, right?" Dan Gilbert changed the topic and asked Fang Chen asked.
When Dan Gilbert said this, Fang Chen immediately understood the purpose of his call.
As we all know, the person Dan Gilbert hates the most right now is LeBron James. By the way, the Miami Heat have also become his enemies.
And Dan Gilbert once made a bold statement in front of the media that he must win the championship before the Heat.
Therefore, when the Cavaliers meet the Heat tonight, Dan Gilbert is naturally very concerned.
"Yes, my boss, our opponent tonight is indeed the Heat." After figuring out Dan Gilbert's intentions, Fang Chen relaxed and replied with a smile.
"Well, then are you sure you can defeat them tonight?" Dan Gilbert was also a little nervous at this moment. After all, this battle is also related to his reputation.
Although Dan Gilbert is so old and has been ridiculed by others, he still attaches great importance to his own face.
"Of course! Don't worry, my boss, we will stop them tonight. They have won seven games in a row now, and we will make their winning streak end at Quicken Loans Arena. Trust me and our players. , Cleveland will be a sea of ??joy tonight."
