In the Cavaliers' home game against the Mavericks, both Lin Yu and James were in poor condition. The Cavaliers lost 79:92, ending their previous two consecutive victories.
But in poor condition, the personal performances of Lin Yu and James once again formed a sharp contrast.
"In a poor state, LeBron continued his rationality. He kept passing the ball for his teammates throughout the game, but he only took 14 shots, hit 6 goals, and scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 10
Assisted, 2 steals and 1 block.”
——Cleveland Candide.
"Although he is in poor condition, China Lin will still take shots at critical moments when the team is in urgent need of scoring. In the whole game, he took 27 shots and only scored 10 goals, scoring 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. 2
A steal, he really has a big heart."
--Willoughby News Chronicle.
To further describe it in Amanda Gray's words: LeBron James is playing more and more like himself, while Lin Yu is playing more and more like Kobe.
David Alexander also edited the Cavaliers-Mavericks game and pulled it out for Lin Yu to analyze.
"Lin, you shouldn't shoot this ball. In this position and with such defensive intensity, unless your hand feels hot, otherwise, no matter how you dodge the defense and take a shot, the basketball will definitely hit the frame."
"And this ball..."
Lin Yu kept nodding, seeming to agree with David Alexander.
But after talking about seven or eight very unreasonable shots, Lin Yu said: "I would rather make 0 for 30 shots than 0 for 9 shots."
David Alexander was stunned for a long time without responding, and finally gave Lin Yu a thumbs up.
Lin Yu also wanted to give David Alexander a thumbs up, because the other party reminded Lin Yu of something remarkable, and an opportunity for improvement appeared again.

After playing the Mavericks, the Cavaliers stayed in Cleveland for one more day before setting off for Detroit the next day.
Also around the Great Lakes, the former automobile city is experiencing a storm at this moment. The three major automobile plants are facing difficulties, a large number of employees have been laid off, and the streets of Detroit are in depression.
The knight's bus was going from the airport to the hotel. When passing by a square, he saw a group of poor and low-income Americans wearing black or gray work clothes, sitting in protest.
There were probably thousands of people. Seeing this scene through the glass of the bus, Lin Yu suddenly remembered: the 2008 financial crisis was coming.
He immediately began to think about whether his industry would be affected.
After staying at the hotel and taking a short rest, he headed to the Auburn Hills Arena to prepare for the upcoming battle. Lin Yu sorted out all his current properties.
There are seven or eight houses, but there is only one in the United States. The luxury houses in Los Angeles are just-in-time housing, so even if they are affected by the financial crisis, the impact will not be significant.
In terms of personal profit-making industries, a player agency company has just been launched not long ago. In Lin Yu’s memory, the financial crisis in 2008 had little impact on the NBA. It only changed a few bosses, and the overall industry value was even higher.
has been improved, so the brokerage company does not need to worry.
He does need to worry about his advertising endorsements, because most of Lin Yu's advertising endorsements are about to expire, and renewal after expiration may be a big problem.
Domestically, Lin Yu also owns an online media company. As an emerging industry, it will not be affected by the financial crisis in traditional industries.
Finally, there are various investments in Anderson Investment and Financial Management. Fortunately, after Lin Yu established his personal team last year, he tightened the authorization for Anderson Investment and Financial Management. He does not have much funds in Anderson Investment and Financial Management.
Overall, the financial crisis of 2008 had little impact on Lin Yu.
He breathed a sigh of relief and brought his thoughts back to reality. Lin Yu was already in the locker room of the Palace of Auburn Hills.
This game with the Pistons can be considered a back-to-back. They had just beaten the Mavericks the day before. They were in poor condition and did not expend too much physical energy. They gave up the game early. The back-to-back on the second day still had a battle.
Powerful.
Lin Yu had already turned his mind back to the game itself. After Mike Brown briefly emphasized the key points of the game, he let the players go out to warm up.
The depressed Detroit also gave birth to a deserted Auburn Hills Palace. The stands on both sides were completely empty, and the original Devils' home stadium suddenly became a little quiet.
The Cavaliers began their warm-up in silence, and the Pistons also came out to sparse cheers.
In the new season, although the city where they are located has been hit hard by the financial crisis, the Pistons' record has improved compared to the previous season.
They didn't make any signings, they just maintained the original team, and relied on the experience and cohesion of the veterans to get off to a good start.
Before facing the Cavaliers, the Pistons had a record of 10 wins and 5 losses, ranking second only to the Cavaliers (12 wins and 3 losses) and the Celtics (11 wins and 3 losses) in the Eastern Conference.
Before the game started, Chauncey Billups came over and gave Lin Yu a high-five, which was considered an opening greeting with his opponent.
Immediately afterwards, the referee blew his whistle and the starters of both teams took the stage.
The Cavaliers still have the regular starters, center Big Z, old Pistons power forward Darko Milicic, small forward James, shooting guard Lin Yu and point guard Delonte West.
The Pistons' starting five are interior twin towers Antonio McDyess and Rasheed Wallace, small forward Tayshaun Prince, shooting guard Richard Hamilton, and point guard Chauncey Billup.
S.
In the jump ball duel between Roaring Tianzun and Big Z, the two veterans were quite like noobs pecking each other, but Big Z still relied on his height advantage to grab the ball in the opening game.
Delonte West controlled the ball in the frontcourt and then handed the ball to James.
The Cavaliers usually give James the first goal in the opening game, allowing James to try a single to test the opponent's defensive quality. The same is true for this game against the Pistons.
"LeBron's breakthrough, he was flanked, and he chose to pass the ball outwards. China Lin, who was moving without the ball, received the ball. He further attracted the Pistons' defense on the wing and made a sudden pass!"
Lin Yu took two steps and suddenly sent the ball in.
Darko Milicic leaped high and with a bang, pushed the ball into the unguarded basket.
"Antonio McDyess and Rasheed Wallace were attracted by LeBron and Lin, who were huge outside threats. The Serbian who received the ball faced an unguarded basket and dunked."
"The Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a great start!"
After one round of offense, the Cavaliers' experiment was over. Lin Yu discovered that the Pistons had lost their base and the overall defensive hardness had declined significantly. James' breakthrough threat was huge, and when the ball was given to Lin Yu, the opportunity in front of him was also very huge. The Pistons
We can only continue to expand our defense.
"The strength of the Pistons is still a bit lacking. The regular season really doesn't mean anything. Some teams are just good at bullying, or they are good at playing in the regular season."
