In the November game, the Cavaliers have been playing smoothly.
After defeating the Timberwolves, they defeated the Washington Wizards for the second time in back-to-back away games.
In this game, Gilbert Arenas fulfilled his promise. He was indeed not guarded by Lin Yu, but Lin Yu also defeated Arenas' defense.
Arenas scored 45 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Lin Yu also scored a single-game high of 33 points since joining the Cavaliers. He made 7 three-pointers, which also set a record since joining the Cavaliers.
Lin Yu and Arenas competed against each other, and LeBron James reaped the benefits, scoring 30 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, leading the Cavaliers to victory in this game.
Then back at home, the Cavaliers defeated the Grizzlies, who were in dire straits due to Pau Gasol's injury.
The winning streak has expanded to 9 games, and is only one game away from achieving ten consecutive wins.
But in the tenth game, they lost to the Raptors on the road.
Following the match in the international arena, Lin Yu and Andre Bargnani met in the NBA. In the end, Lin Yu lost the game.
But the reason why the Cavaliers lost this game was because Lin Yu and LeBron James were in such poor condition.
One made 7 of 17 shots, and the other made 8 of 22 shots. Both were out of form, and they hit a total of 24 shots. The Cavaliers' role players were unable to stand up, and the winning streak was ended.
Moreover, the Raptors won the game not because of Andre Bargnani, who came off the bench and scored 9 points and 4 rebounds, but because of Chris Bosh, who is in hot form this season.
In this battle, Bosh performed extremely well, scoring 26 points and 11 rebounds on 11-of-18 shooting, leading the Raptors to a crucial victory.
After the winning streak ended, the Cavaliers only lost their second game this season. This loss is completely acceptable.
After beating the Raptors, the Cavaliers returned to their home court and defeated the Indiana Pacers, who were getting worse and worse, without a losing streak.
Then, in the away game, the Cavaliers defeated the Bobcats and regained their winning streak.
Finally, on November 29th, Eastern Time, the last game of November, the Cavaliers faced the Knicks again, this time at home.
Despite the losing streak, Isiah Thomas' position as coach is still stable, but there are some adjustments to the Knicks' lineup compared to half a month ago.
David Lee and Jamal Crawford, who performed well, entered the starting lineup, Steve Francis was pushed to the end of the bench, and Nate Robinson and Renaldo Backman were reused.
After adjustments, the Knicks' lineup is more competitive.
Compared with the game half a month ago, the Cavaliers played a little harder this time. The explosive Jamal Crawford and David Lee, who can always score in isolation in the post, created some threats for them.
But in the end, the Cavaliers successfully won the last victory in November with 108:91.
Throughout November, the Cavaliers only lost two games, one to the Spurs due to the sinkhole dug by Larry Hughes, and one to the Raptors due to the team's overall poor state.
the match of.
He won all other games, including direct competitors in the Eastern Conference playoffs such as the Wizards, Bulls, and Raptors.
But overall, the opponents the Cavaliers encountered in November were not strong. Eight opponents have already locked up a lottery seat. Opponents like the Bulls and Pacers are promising for the playoffs, but they are not that stable and may happen at any time.
Falling into the lottery zone.
The only opponent who could really compete for the championship only met the Spurs, and ended up losing.
It seems that the addition of Lin Yu has improved the Cavaliers mainly in their ability to abuse opponents. This Cavaliers' ability to abuse opponents is very stable and they only lost one game to the Raptors.
But for the Cavaliers, whether they can join the championship ranks is the key, and this depends on the next games, especially those games with the Celtics, Mavericks, Suns, and Spurs.
Overall, the Cavaliers' record in November was 12 wins and 2 losses. Counting the opening game against the Rockets in October, as of early December, the Cavaliers' record was 13 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.
It is also number one in the entire league.
Judging from the team's record, the Cavaliers are satisfied.
LeBron James won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month by averaging 30.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks per game in November.
When being interviewed and delivering his acceptance speech, LeBron James said: "We have the first record in the Eastern Conference, and we are also first in the league. This is a good start, and I hope this is a good start.
It can turn into a good ending.”
A reporter asked why the Cavaliers have made such huge progress this season. James' answer mentioned Lin Yu: "Obviously, Lin's arrival has given us a second stable scoring point, as well as a defensive gate on the outside. Many
Every game, we relied on his three-pointers and defense to win the game, and he improved the team's overall strength."
Then, a reporter inquired about Lin Yu's average game data so far and raised another question related to Lin Yu: "In the opening game plus the November game, China Lin averaged 21.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.7 assists per game.
A steal, this kind of data is enough to be selected as an All-Star, so LeBron, now that Cleveland also has an All-Star level combination, how do you think of the combination of you and Lin?"
"Actually, I am very satisfied with the combination of Lin and I. We are both young. He is only 24 years old and I have not yet reached 22. We are a young combination with a bright future. I hope we can become Cleveland's
ok group, I have even thought of a group name, ll brothers group!"
At the beginning of December, Lin Yu looked through the newspapers and magazines of major media and saw the "LL Brothers Group". After LeBron James' official announcement, "LL Group" became a hot word, and everyone was discussing it.
The combination of Lin Yu and James has begun to look towards the future.
Some talented netizens on reddit believe that ll can be misinterpreted as the abbreviation of loli, because Lin Yu and James are both young and can be regarded as loli in the NBA.
Some media experts and reporters believe that ll can be misinterpreted as l-link, which means that two players starting with l are linked together.
Various discussions have formed a new hot spot...
Then what surprised Lin Yu was that the "ll combination" was actually prompted by the system, and the joke was successfully created!
[Congratulations: The host has successfully created a meme, and the system will reward you with a gift pack of your choice.]
"What? Is it okay to create memes? Isn't this a joke-stealing system?"
Lin Yu was confused all of a sudden. Not only did he not understand the structure of the system, he even found that the rewards given by the system were different from the rewards for cheating.
[Self-selected gift pack: The reward given by the system after successfully creating a meme, including three rewards: self-selected permanent attribute bonus (according to the level of the gift pack, the number of attribute points obtained ranges from 1 to 29 points), a self-selected time-effective prop
(The system gives multiple choices, and the host chooses one from them), and one self-organized characteristic (the system will form a unique characteristic based on the characteristics of the stalker, ps: the effect of the characteristic is related to the level of the gift package)]
Lin Yu didn't think much about the three completely different rewards. Anyway, as long as there were rewards, no matter what!
Just making memes can also get rewards, but it reminds Lin Yu that he can try to create some unique memes of his own.
