******************
At 6 p.m. on December 2, US time, the Cavaliers ushered in the Minnesota Timberwolves challenge at home Speed Loan Arena.
Of course, at noon that day, Fang Chen drew the magic box card for this game.
What surprised Fang Chen was that the player he drew was actually the 'Big Ben Wallace'.
Although Fang Chen has a lot of confidence in Anderson Valaijo's defense, if there is another big man guarding the basket, then there is no need to worry about Kevin Love asking for it in the inside.
As we all know, Ben Wallace is one of the best defensive players in NBA history. In his entire career, he has won the honor of the best defensive player four times. Ben Wallace is also the player with the most best defensive players in NBA history (Boeber has also been four times).
However, Fang Chen did not attach Ben Wallace's ability to Anderson Valaijo, but to ** Hickson.
**-Hickson is the same height as Da Ben, both 2.06 meters and weighs about the same weight. In addition, Fang Chen has decided to train **-Hickson, so he naturally has to attach his abilities to him.
Previously, ** Hickson had obtained the abilities of Chris Webber and Paul Gasol. Both of them were strong offensive and weak defense. Now they have obtained the abilities of Big Boss, which can be said to have comprehensively improved both offensive and defensive ends.
Fang Chen once learned from the self-introduction of the Magic Box system that a player who is given the ability of another player will not lose his own ability, so Fang Chen is not worried that **-Hickson will not attack in the game against the Timberwolves.
…………
"Bang", Anderson Valejo and Dako Milicic jumped the ball, and the former used his experience to ramble the ball into Joey Graham's hands.
Joey Graham leaned to his side, avoided Corey Brewer's interception, and handed the ball to Mo Williams's hands.
In this game, Mo Williams was mentioned in the starting lineup, and the Cavaliers' other four positions were the same as in the previous games, without any change.
The five players who started tonight were center Dako Milicic, power forward Kevin Love, small forward Corey Brewer, shooting guard Wesley Johnson and organizational defender Luke Reedno.
This lineup is quite young and full of vitality. Except for Luke Ridno, who is already twenty-nine years old, the other four are all under twenty-five.
Of course, in addition to Anthony Parker, who is already 35 years old, the Cavaliers' starting lineup is also relatively young.
Previously, Mo Williams was suspended for two games by the team for coercing head coach Fang Chenhe and leaving the field early. Therefore, he was holding on to his strength at this moment.
He wanted to prove to everyone that he had the strength to become the boss of the team, especially Fang Chen.
"Isn't it just that I have led the team to win a few games? What's so great? I will definitely win with the team in this game tonight. Damn Fang Chen, I want to let you know how stupid your previous actions were." Mo Williams said dissatisfied.
"Clang", Mo Williams, who was eager to show himself, took the ball and broke through two steps, and then faced the defensive player's jump shot. The Cavaliers' first wave of offense naturally ended in vain.
Although Fang Chen had expected Mo Williams to fight like this, he still frowned when he saw him hitting the iron.
The rebound was grabbed by Kevin Love and then passed it to Luke Reedno.
The Timberwolves' counterattack was very fast. Luke Reedno, who had just received the ball, flew towards Wesley Johnson, who had already rushed to the frontcourt.
Wesley Johnson received the ball and rushed to the Cavaliers' basket, and Anthony Parker had already caught up.
"Bang", Corey Brewer scored a dunk with both hands.
Anthony Parker shook his head helplessly. Just now he saw Wesley Johnson jumping up as if he was about to dunk, so he naturally jumped up as well.
But what he didn't expect was that Wesley Johnson passed the ball behind his head and directly passed the ball to Corey Brewer, so Brewer made a slam dunk.
**-Hickson serves on the sideline. Mo Williams took the ball intentionally and looked at the sidelines. He saw that Fang Chen did not look at him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
How long can he play now is in Fang Chen's hands. If he wants to play for more time, he must show off his outstanding performance.
As a star who has been selected for the All-Star Game, Mo Williams has a good comprehensive ability, but some of his playing styles are often disapproved by fans.
After adjusting his mentality, Mo Williams surprisingly cooperated with his teammates. He hooked up against Hickson, who quickly raised him up and made a pick-and-roll.
Using ** Hickson's pick-and-roll, Mo Williams went straight to the basket, and then deceived Kevin Love, who made a backup defense with a fake move, and scored a layup.
2:2, the two teams tied.
"Beautiful!" some fans exclaimed.
There are still some Mo Williams fans in the Speed Loan Arena. After all, he is also an All-Star player, although there is some moisture here.
Both teams played very efficiently in the first few offenses. Except for Mo Williams' jump shot at the beginning, the Cavaliers scored all the next four offenses.
"Bang", soon, **-Hickson got into the state and gave Kevin-Love a beautiful big hotpot.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chen seemed a little excited.
"Haha, Fang, the defense of ** tonight is really good!" Michael Malone said with a smile on the other side.
"Yes, cough cough... With **'s physical condition, you can be trained to become a player with both offense and defense. Cough cough..." Fang Chen's cold has not yet been cured, so he still coughs while speaking.
Michael Malone admires Fang Chen's illness. He has seen many capable young people, but not many young people who are serious and responsible for their work like Fang Chen.
In fact, before Fang Chen became the team's acting head coach, Michael Malone admired Fang Chen's attitude towards work. Not only him, but anyone who has seen Fang Chen's work will appreciate him very much.
The reason why he opposed Fang Chen becoming the team's acting head coach was entirely Michael Malone's inherent thinking. He believed that Fang Chen was too young and had almost no experience.
However, it was such a young man with almost no experience who led the Cavaliers to win four games in a row, including a very strong opponent.
Therefore, Michael Malone has basically recognized Fang Chen's ability now, and coupled with his extremely serious and responsible attitude towards work, Michael Malone is willing to assist him and help him rebuild the team.
After patting Fang Chen on the shoulder, Michael Malone said to him: "You are a very promising coach, and we believe this team will succeed under your leadership."
"Haha, why did you suddenly talk about this? By the way, cough cough... Where is Chris?" Fang Chen then found that Chris Jant was not present at the scene, so he asked Michael Malone in surprise.
"Haha, Fang, you can be easier next." Michael Malone laughed and said to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen touched the back of his head in confusion and asked in an unknown way: "What's wrong?"
"Did you forget? The team has been looking for an assistant coach for you!"
"Is Steve Clifford here?" Fang Chen said in surprise.
Michael Malone also nodded happily and said, "Well, he has arrived in Cleveland, and Chris has already picked him up."
Upon hearing this news, Fang Chen was so excited that he almost jumped up.
