Of course, with James leaving the team in this way, the Cavaliers players must be holding their breath.
In this case it is possible to achieve good results.
But their strength doesn't allow it.
Because this is not a complete team at all!
Is a Rolls-Royce still a car with its engine removed?
If you insist on saying it is, that's fine, but it won't start!
A Wuling Hongguang can run very fast if you step on the accelerator desperately, but a Rolls-Royce with its engine removed cannot run!
Even if you find a Changan Benben engine and install it reluctantly, this Rolls-Royce can't outrun the original Wuling Hongguang!
Because these accessories outside are not designed for you and do not match you!
After James left the team, the Cavaliers' boss became Mo, but he was forced into the position.
Only he can play this role!
But the Cavaliers are not built around Mo Mo!
Although the team can be considered to have a core, the team has fundamental problems!
So the Cavaliers' record plummeted.
It doesn't take any effort to deal with a team like this!
However, Deng Fang did not want to be cruel.
After watching the Cavaliers for so many years, Deng Fang also has some emotions.
Deng Fang feels very sorry for the Cavaliers players.
A group of younger brothers were betrayed by their boss and had to be humiliated in front of the whole world. What a feeling...
The Warriors currently rank first in the league and are far ahead in record, so Deng Fang doesn't care about winning or losing one or two games.
As long as it's not a strong team like the Spurs, Mavericks, Heat or Bulls, it doesn't matter if you lose a game against any opponent you may encounter in the playoffs!
And Deng Fang doesn't want to break the Bulls' record of 72 wins.
One reason is that Deng Fang did not want to be too high-profile.
Shoot the first bird!
Be low-key!
If you are too pushy, you will be easily targeted by everyone.
It’s not a good feeling to have no friends!
Secondly, because later generations of warriors broke this record!
Deng Fang didn’t want to do it before that season!
Anyone loses anyway, so it’s not bad to give the Cavaliers a favor!
But losing is not that simple!
If another team wants to let loose, it's easy, just sit out the starting lineup and come on as a substitute!
If that doesn't work, then the player at the end of the bench comes on!
For most teams, there is still a big difference in strength between the substitutes and the starters!
Not to mention the players on the verge of elimination at the end of the bench.
But the Warriors don’t have such a player!
The Warriors' bench is better than most teams' starters!
Even the bad lineup that Deng Fang often uses recently is better than the substitutes of most teams!
The Warriors' bad lineup is Jeremy Lin, Livingston, Kirilenko, Yi Jianlian, and DeAndre Jordan.
Livingston, Kirilenko, and DeAndre Jordan are sure to start no matter which team they get!
Kirilenko can also serve as the second or third boss of most teams!
Even Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian performed very well under Deng Fang's careful training!
Jeremy Lin already has the strength, otherwise the popular Lin Crazy will not appear in future generations!
The fact that Yi Jianlian was selected in the lottery also shows his strength!
As long as these two people are given enough playing time, as long as they are not injured, and as long as they are equipped with a suitable lineup, Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian can play very well!
The reason why these five people were used by Deng Fang as a bad lineup was not because they were not strong enough, but because the others were more powerful!
There was nothing Deng Fang could do.
In addition, these five people are the worst three-point shooters on the Warriors. Livingston and DeAndre Jordan don't shoot at all, and Jeremy Lin, Kirilenko and Yi Jianlian are not very accurate.
That's why Deng Fang let them play in garbage time.
It is better to shoot three-pointers in a real game with an opponent by your side than to shoot three-pointers in practice!
Deng Fang doesn’t want to win this game, but no matter who he picks from the current lineup, the Cavaliers can’t beat him!
Deng Fang can't let his players lose on purpose, right?
That would be bad for the team's atmosphere.
Fortunately, Deng Fang made preparations in advance.
Every team has its own Development League team, and the Warriors are no exception.
The NBA allows each team to sign two-way contracts with Development League players, and such contracts are very cheap.
Deng Fang also instructed Tim to sign three good players in the Development League.
Before the game against the Cavaliers, Deng Fang sent DeAndre Jordan, Livingston and Tucker to the Development League, allowing these three players with two-way contracts to come to the team.
Of course, Jordan and the three are just going through the motions, they don't have to play in the Development League at all.
In addition to these three, the five players who played in the game against the Cavaliers were Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian.
This is already the worst lineup Deng Fang can come up with...
If the Cavaliers still can't win, there is nothing Deng Fang can do...
Fortunately, the Cavaliers were very competitive and after a fierce battle, they finally beat the Warriors by 12 points!
These five people played the whole game!
Unsurprisingly, this game made headlines in major media that day:
The Warriors lost again!
Third loss of the season!
The loser is still a weak team!
The mortal enemy of the warrior - the knight!
Last year when James was here, the Cavaliers couldn't beat the Warriors, but now that James is gone, they actually win!
Last year, the Cavaliers and Warriors played a total of 6 games in the regular season and playoffs, and the Cavaliers did not win a game!
In just one game this year, the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors!
It seems that James is a cancer!
Deng Fang capsized!
Deng Fang dared to test newcomers in official competitions!
The Development League players played the entire game as soon as they came on!
What is this operation?
Careless and lose Jingzhou!
Deng Fang also has today!
…
Deng Fang didn't care about these external voices.
Anyway, I don’t want to break the record. Who is losing to?
It’s good to make James feel sick!
It’s hard to say if you want to win!
It depends on whether I want to or not...
Sure enough, the Warriors showed their true strength and won another 12 consecutive victories!
The game with the smallest point difference was against the Bulls. The Warriors won by "only" 18 points!
Curry only played 24 minutes and scored 35 points, 6 assists, and 8 rebounds!
On the opposite side, Rose was once again surrounded by the Warriors. He played for 43 minutes and only scored 12 points, 7 assists, 10 rebounds, and 6 turnovers!
The Warriors didn't win much against the Thunder, winning "only" by 25 points!
In the last game, Durant, Westbrook and others felt hot and performed like crazy. This time the luck is not with them!
Being lucky all the time is no longer luck, it is strength!
The current Thunder are not strong enough. Except for Durant, who is very capable of scoring, Westbrook and Harden are still very immature.
After another 12-game winning streak, the Warriors' record reached 51 wins and 3 losses, still ranking first in the league, and far ahead!
