Cleveland, to be honest, is not a great place.

Heavy industrial cities, in the United States that has not signed an environmental protection agreement, are places where acid rain falls every three days. Although the level is not high, and it is not to the point of directly harming the human body, it is still scary, causing a huge state.

In the capital, the population has dropped to just over 300,000 since the heavy industry began in the 1940s.

As there are fewer people, there are fewer and fewer professional sports teams here. Although the Cleveland Browns of the United States Football Team are still in Cleveland in name, they have actually moved to Akron next door. After all, the Cleveland Browns are still in Cleveland.

Several of the Cleveland Browns' national championships were won in Cleveland.

The Major League Baseball Indians even disbanded because they had too few fans and could not make ends meet. Although they have been rebuilding, they are not in Cleveland.

However, the basketball fans here are really strong. Ever since the Cavaliers became the league's top team in the late 1980s, their fans have become very determined and firmly believe that one day Cleveland can win another championship after many years.

To the championship of the four major North American leagues.

This place probably has the most ardent basketball fans.

For example, right now, as soon as the Eagles came out of the Cleveland Airport, they saw Cavaliers fans holding signs saying "Fight the Eagles."

"Are Cavaliers fans crazy? This is just a regular season game." Liu Mang's head was made big by the noise of the fans who penetrated into the bus.

"Hey, rookie, when you get to Salt Lake City, you will be scared to tears by the fans there!" Jason Terry said disdainfully.

Liu Mang was unhappy no matter how he looked at him. Jason Terry saw that many Cavaliers fans were coming for Liu Mang, and there were also Cavaliers fans holding banners saying "Ace, come to our team." Jason Terry -

Terry was very jealous.

This has to be said about how unlucky the Cavaliers have been in recent years.

In 1997, the Cavaliers poached that year's All-Star and regular season All-NBA second team super power forward Sean Kemp in the free market. They returned to the playoffs in the 1997-1998 season and saw the formation of Shaw

The combination of three first-class players like En Kemp, Chris Mills, and Terrell Brandon wants to challenge the dominance of the Eastern Conference after Jordan retires.

Who would have known that during a lockout, Sean Kemp, who was known as Rain Man back then, turned into a fat man weighing nearly 300 pounds. The Cavaliers' championship dream collapsed directly, and even fell out of the playoffs. Sean Kemp's share

The seven-year, $90 million contract has also become a burden for the Cavaliers. In recent years, they have entered the lottery every year, and even ranked among the bottom eight and top five.

This is not the most important thing. What is important is that the Cavaliers' drafts in the past three years have been simply miserable. In 1999, Trajan Langton was selected with the fifth overall pick in the first round. This player has now been transferred to the NBA just now in April this year.

The nbdl that was formed is the Development League. After the four-year rookie contract is over, he will probably have to leave.

The 1999 rookies who were selected after the Cavaliers include the current All-Star level Timberwolves small forward Wally Szczerbiak, the successor to the mid-range shooting king Richard Hamilton, and the Suns' short super power forward Sean.

- Marion, the Hawks' quasi-first-class star Jason Terry, followed by ak47 Kirilenko, Ginobili...

In such a year that can barely be called a big draft year, the Cavaliers selected a non-NBA player with the fifth overall pick.

If the drafts in 2000 and this summer were really unlucky to select two parallel imports, then 1999 was purely unlucky. Trajan Langton was once the top three pick in 1999, but the top four pick

The team didn't dare to pick him, so the Cavaliers picked him up.

Then the Cavaliers selected Chris Mihm with the seventh overall pick in 2000... This summer, they selected Senegalese power center Diop with the eighth overall pick, the same player who later cheated out of big contracts with the Mavericks and Hornets twice.

The top ten picks in the lottery for three consecutive years, and the third year of parallel imports, Cavaliers fans are going crazy.

Look at the Spurs, they selected a French sports car with the 28th pick in the first round. With his speed and tactical awareness, the future is bright.

Look at the Warriors, who selected Gilbert Arenas with the second overall pick in the second round. With his skillful skills and excellent overall view, if he were given football rights, I don’t know what his statistics would be like.

Then there is the Hawks, who are almost at the end of the second round, but they actually drafted a "genius" player who frequently appears on the homepage of major sports news, and even occasionally makes headlines!

And the Cavaliers' own center Diop, who has been promised another Mutombo, averages less than 2 points and 2 rebounds per game. Mutombo will not be so bad at the age of 50!

Liu Mang felt a headache as he looked at Jason Terry like a kid who had his lollipop stolen. He reluctantly agreed: "Yes, yes, you are our best defender. It's normal for me to be scared."

, of course you won’t be scared, just give me two more balls when I come on the court later.”

Jason Terry was happy when he heard this, but he was still very arrogant: "Humph, of course, I am not a ball tyrant! Of course I will pass the ball to you."

"..."

…

It's easier for the Hawks to beat the Cavaliers than it is to beat the Knicks.

Complete crushing strength!

The Cavaliers are last in the Eastern Conference and have a solid record. They lost five games in a row at the beginning. The league doesn't pay much attention to them. The strength of small cities is poor. The start is purely to give wins to playoff teams. There are three games at the beginning of the season.

Back to back, the Hawks were lucky enough to be one of the teams that picked up the record.

The Cavaliers don't have any particularly good players. The one player who is pretty good is point guard Andre Miller, who has a good assist record this year. He averaged 14 assists per game in the first five games. The other player is Ricky David.

Si, who later said the famous saying "The Cavaliers chose James to be my helper", the third-rate small forward who shot a triple-double in his own basket, and the La La, who also had soaring statistics after coming to the Cavaliers.

Monty Murray is the big man in the contract year who cheated the Raptors into a 4-year, 35 million contract next season and directly dragged the Raptors to the bottom of the league and got the No. 4 pick in 2003. He averaged 25 in the first 5 games.

Divide them into pieces and blast them to the sky.

Then, in the game between the Hawks and the Cavaliers, the Hawks started with a 14-2 run, and then nothing happened.

Liu Mang got playing time in the second half of the first quarter. The Cavaliers were not defensive. Those who were trying to get assists were thinking about getting assists, and those who were getting points were thinking about getting points. Liu Mang was in the bottom corner in the second half of the first quarter.

Got several shots, and scored 6 points on 2 of 5 three-pointers in the first quarter.

Liu Mang got more playing time in the second half, but with more playing time, he could not hold the ball all the time like he did in just a few minutes of playing time before. He became a full-time pitcher and occasionally had opportunities to counterattack.

The fastest player on the Eagles, Liu Mang also got several shots in counterattacks.

In this game, Liu Mang didn't have a strong opponent like he had to face in the previous four games, so he didn't look too amazing. However, he played for more than 15 minutes for the first time. He made 6 of 11 in the game and 3 of 7 three-pointers, as usual.

Just take the ball and do it. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers have no defense and Liu Mang's ability to draw fouls cannot be used. He can easily get shooting opportunities. Who is free to draw fouls?

With 6 of 11 shots, Liu Mang played in a normal style for the first time, and got serious playing time for the first time. His efficiency was still high, and he scored 15 points, which slightly refreshed his highest score.

The Hawks didn't give the Cavaliers a chance from the beginning. The Cavaliers players only focused on improving statistics. The goals of the Cavaliers coaching staff and management were also poor. The players did whatever they wanted, and they also wanted to compete for Yao Ming.
