"In the new season, our lineup has changed, but no matter what, we have retained our winning core lineup, so in the new season, we are the defending champions, there is no doubt about it!"
On the first day of preseason training, Mike Brown emphasized the concept of "defending champion."
"We are the team of champions. We should not be afraid of any opponent. In the new season, before the next championship is decided, we will be the strongest team in the league!"
"So, starting our pre-season training as a champion team, we must do our best in everything!"
If Lin Yu's incident hadn't happened, and if Rashard Lewis hadn't left, Mike Brown's pre-season speech would have definitely made the entire Cavaliers excited and devoted themselves to pre-season training.
But now, the 15 players on the team have their own thoughts and don't take Mike Brown's words to heart at all.
Mike Brown's speech ended, followed by the pre-season physical test, the makeup photo shoot before the start of the new season, and the first media open day that will start in the afternoon.
In the pre-season physical test, Lin Yu naturally did not have any problems. Not only was there no problem, some of his physical test data even increased significantly.
"Lin, can you tell me what training you did in the summer?"
After the entire physical test session was over, Phil Handy found Lin Yu holding a statistical table.
Lin Yu smiled: "What, Phil, is there any problem?"
"Your 3/4 sprint time improved from 3.22 seconds last season to 3.05 seconds, and your bench press increased from 78kg 10 times to 84kg 10 times. Both of these data have improved significantly. You..."
Phil Handy looked at Lin Yu with a hint of doubt.
In the NBA, many young players will use the offseason to swallow some banned drugs and use drugs to forcibly improve their physical fitness.
Lin Yu shook his head: "You are wrong, Phil. My body did not suddenly become stronger this summer, but it has improved so much after a whole year."
If it took one year to improve so much, Phil Handy thought it was understandable. He nodded and had no doubts.
Lin Yu wanted to laugh, because at this time, his physical improvement had just begun.
The bench press is equivalent to strength, and there is not much room for improvement. Wiggins' strength talent is basically at its peak.
However, it is equivalent to 3/4 of a sprint in terms of speed and agility. Lin Yu still has a lot of room for improvement. Wiggins's talent attribute should be able to reach within 3 seconds at the highest.
Finally, the jumping data has not been improved yet because Lin Yu has not practiced much.
To use the media's later evaluation of Wiggins' dynamic talent: Wiggins has the speed of Chris Paul and the jumping of James.
In fact, Lin Yu felt that it was a pity that he could not get Wiggins' static talent after successfully stealing the plot, because compared to the dynamic talent, Wiggins' static talent is even more historical.
(Dynamic talents refer to talents that are variable such as speed, jumping, and strength. Static talents refer to talents that are difficult to change such as height and wingspan.)
"Breakthrough, I really need the bonus of breakthrough attributes now. With such outstanding dynamic talent, coupled with top or near-top breakthroughs, even if I don't have the ability to score at the basket, it is enough for mid- and long-range singles."
It's a pity that Lin Yu has nothing to steal now.
The poisonous milk meme can be regarded as a meme creation. At present, it is still far away from the completion of meme creation. Some other memes, such as "Talent is brought to the South Coast", "I am here to teach him to win the championship", and other such memes,
He needs to leave the knight to steal it.
Therefore, Lin Yu is now very eager to leave Cleveland, and he also has some reasons to improve himself. It is really difficult for him to go further by staying in the Cavaliers and partnering with James.

In the new season's final makeup photo, Lin Yu, who thought about changing his jersey number, finally decided to continue using the No. 0 jersey because he thought that the Cavaliers might retire his jersey. If he changes his jersey number, it may affect the probability of retiring his jersey.
.
After all, with all his plans, he would only be playing in Cleveland for just over a season, if he left Cleveland in the middle of the season.
Lin Yu, who had not changed his jersey number, took his makeup photos and was immediately pulled aside by several reporters he knew well. They chatted for a while and asked a few questions.
Willoughby News-Chronicle reporter Bob Finnan asked Lin Yu what he thought about the prospects, goals and plans for the new season. This is a somewhat universal question, but it is placed in the context of Lin Yu's current unhappiness.
, which is quite meaningful.
Lin Yu's answer was quite satisfactory: "I won't set any goals for myself now, because the season has just begun. I can only say that every season, I will make myself improve a little bit, and the same will be true for the new season."
In contrast, Dave McMenamin, an ESPN reporter who is not a local media in Cleveland, did not have so many scruples. He followed Finnan's question and asked: "As the defending champion, what do you think about the O'Brien Cup in the new season?"
, don’t you have even the slightest idea?”
Lin Yu shook his head. His style changed from the normal one in the previous question to an honest man mode. He told the truth: "Everyone knows that I am not happy in Cleveland, so I can't guarantee that I will be happy by the end of the season."
As a Cavaliers player, I will naturally not think about the championship. I can only guarantee that as long as I am still a Cavaliers player, I will go all out to help the team win every game."
Although the second half of the sentence was still a bit formulaic, several reporters who interviewed Lin Yu were a little surprised by the first half.
Everyone speculated that Lin Yu might be unhappy, but Lin Yu did not strongly ask to leave, nor did he ask the Cavaliers to give any apology or way to make amends. It seemed that the contract renewal did not have much impact.
Most people don't think Lin Yu will leave Cleveland because of a trivial matter.
But now, obviously, they still underestimated how important Lin Yu's respect was to him.
"So, you might be leaving Cleveland in the middle of the season?"
Zach Lowe also appeared at the Cavaliers' media open day today. He followed up with a question. Lin Yu shook his head: "I was just talking about a possibility. If I had not left, I would not be disappointed because
The combination of me and LeBron has a bright future, which will make me forget some unhappy things."
With this answer, Lin Yu gave James a little face, and James would be very happy to hear it.
But Lin Yu knew that James, who had already put on smelly sneakers, would soon become dissatisfied with his designated teammate, Lin Yu, because of some trivial matters.
The plan to leave Cleveland is already being implemented. Lin Yu's inner voice told him that if everything goes well, he will leave here after half a season.
