Competition in the East this season has been fierce, and it seems that every team has the potential to make the playoffs, but the most surprising of them is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Before the start of the new season, many experts predicted the Cavaliers as a fish-belly team with no hope of entering the playoffs.
Of course, the predictions of experts also have some truth, because although there are many young newcomers in the Cavaliers, they still need time to grow, and this season will certainly not be able to realize their potential.
However, the Cavaliers' young play was shocking, Mobley contributed to the value of the game as soon as he entered the league, Garland improved rapidly, he could shoot suddenly, Osman's three-point shooting rate reached a career high, Allen showed the potential of the best blue-collar center, although Sexton suffered a meniscus tear season reimbursement, but this did not affect the overall strength of the Cavaliers, they are currently ranked fifth in the East with a 20-16 loss, and have also defeated many strong teams such as the Bucks.
In 2003, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected the chosen son LeBron James, when the old Zhan was there, the Cavaliers were basically one of the contenders for the championship, 16 years they finally realized their dream, 18 years, after helping their hometown win the championship, James chose to leave, we can not judge whether James's choice is right or wrong, but, seeing the Cavaliers' current lineup and record, we will naturally think, if James is still there, what level will the Cavaliers be?
More methodical attacks swept through the alliance like a tidal wave
James is the most comprehensive player in history, not one, whether it is scoring defense or organizing cover to grab the board, as long as he wants, he must be able to do his best, the current Cavaliers, defense has Mobley and Jarrett Allen, offense has Alan Luck, these people have proved that they can play a first-class offensive and defensive conversion, if James is here, he only needs to organize the offense with peace of mind, 19-20 season, the Lakers at that time lacked an organizer, James finally won that year's assist king with an average of 10.2 assists per game. Needless to say, Allen and Mobley have excellent athletic ability, are good at eating cakes, James's amazing passing will give them a lot of easy scoring opportunities, at the same time, James will also sort out the Cavaliers' offense in an orderly manner, maximize the potential of the Cavaliers' new stars, and the offensive tide that the Cavaliers will blow will sweep the entire league.
The attack ability has been greatly improved, and the key moments are not vain
Cavaliers, these young players have no playoff experience, the scoring ability at key moments also needs to be further improved, with James, these weaknesses will automatically make up for, although the old Zhan is 37 years old this year, but as long as the first half of the game is not over-consumed, in the second half of the game, he is still the invincible level of this league. With sufficient physical strength, his tank breakthrough is unstoppable, and when the Cavaliers' tactics encounter difficulties, Old Zhan alone is enough to solve the problem. When a goal is needed to determine the winner, Old Zhan can also stand up. Many of the games that the Cavaliers have lost this season are because they are too young, no one can attack in the moment of life and death, and the old Zhan is there, and the Cavaliers will change qualitatively at this point, from the weakest moment in the league to the strongest in the league.
Break the ceiling, the strongest team in the league
The bonus that James can bring to this team is not only technical, but also mental, and a group of young men playing around historical superstars will naturally be more confident and motivated. At present, the strongest team in the league is the Warriors, The Suns, the Nets, the Suns did not have a single person selected as an All-Star last season, but because paul is there, they have reached the Finals, James is a fully enhanced version of Paul, there is James, Garland's level will not be inferior to Morant, Mobley's level will not be inferior to Dream Green, Allen's level will not be inferior to Gobert, at the same time, James can also let these people glue together, hide their shortcomings, play their advantages, just imagine, such a knight, Is there really a team in the league that can be right? Even the Warriors after Thompson's return and the Nets Irving played, there is no way to take the Cavaliers!
Under the center of the spotlight, there is pressure and motivation
There is a team with James, must be the most concerned team, this point is no doubt, James will bring the team better results, but also make the Cavaliers in the center of the league, for the Cavaliers young people, increased exposure is of course a good thing, for their career honor accumulation has a great help, can make them quickly recognized by the public, but this exposure, for young players, there will also be a part of the negative impact, their occasional mistake may be infinitely magnified, they have to bear more pressure and questions, Even many times also need to carry the pot, which is a challenge to their psychological endurance, whether they can cross this hurdle depends on their ability to adjust, under the center of the spotlight, there will not only be prosperity, there will be a lot of pain that needs to be endured silently.
For the Cavaliers, LeBron James will always be the most special presence, not only winning cleveland's first championship trophy in history, but also giving the best years to the city. James' five personal data of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks all ranked first in cavaliers history, and no one can replace his position in the hearts of Cavaliers fans. Old Zhan chose to leave that year, but also a comprehensive consideration of all factors, after all, for the knight, he has given everything.
Maybe Old Zhan would not have thought that the Cavaliers' young people would grow up so fast, and fans would naturally have a lot of emotions when they saw the Cavaliers' current lineup of both potential and strength.
Imagination to imagination, reality to reality, reason tells us that the return of old Zhan to the Cavaliers is difficult to achieve, bless the old Zhan, stay healthy, let fans see how the historical superstars play for a few years, bless the Cavaliers new stars to continue to grow, let the Cleveland Cavaliers, a small city team, shine in the league, but also bring more surprises to fans!
