Sure enough, every promising team has its own intelligence network so that they can always understand the trends of other strong teams.

The typical representatives are the Celtics and Lakers, the two most powerful players in the NBA.

Especially for the Celtics, during the period of "Cardinal" Auerbach, his eyes could be said to be all over the league. Sometimes, a word from Mr. Auerbach could influence the management of other teams, even more than the league president David.

Stern's words are quite reliable.

For those in charge, the presence of Auerbach undoubtedly affects Stern's management and control of the entire league.

This is also the reason why Stern refused to sign the No. 1 pick in the 1997 class to the Celtics.

You know, under Auerbach's instructions, the Celtics management, the greatest powerhouse in history, actually put down its face for the first time, and did not hesitate to compete for the No. 1 pick in the 1997 class by performing crazy stunts, just to win the senior Tim.

·Duncan, rebuild the glory of the Green Army!

If Stern hadn't stopped him in time, relying on Auerbach's original power in the league and getting Duncan as he wished, the Green Army's dominance of the league would have been almost certain.

This is the last thing Stern wants to see, so even if the Celtics have an 82-loss record in the regular season and a 99.99% probability of getting the No. 1 pick, Stern will let the 0.01% probability appear.

Because the Green Army is already brilliant enough, he doesn't want to see an Auerbach-like figure appear in the league.

This led to Auerbach's silent exit and the Celtics' 10-year trough, until the deal in August 2007...

Ahem, the topic has gone too far, let’s get back to the topic.

In the knowledge of Coach Terry, Wang Zelin realized that Cousins ​​was actually injured because he gained too much weight in a short period of time and his body could not handle the long and cumbersome schedule.

Well, that guy Cousins ​​​​doesn’t want to win so much that he works so hard for me!

After understanding the whole story, Wang Zelin couldn't help but sigh.

Why is Cousins ​​working so hard to gain weight? It's not to deal with someone like him.

So, to a certain extent, the reason why Cousins ​​was injured has something to do with him...

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

That guy's injury was obviously due to his own physical inability to bear it, so what does it have to do with me, the king?

…

…

At 7:30, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Cavaliers officially started.

As of now, the Cavaliers have a record of 25 wins and 8 losses, leading all the strong teams in the Eastern Conference. Looking at the league, they are ranked fourth and are absolutely the top team.

It's a pity that the Cavaliers not only lost one of their generals before the game, but also the main center Cousins, the core inside player!

The absence of Cousins ​​not only makes the starlight of Quicken Loans Arena, the home stadium tonight, a little dim, but the key is that there is one less person who can barely talk to Wang Zelin in the paint.

The three giants of the Cavaliers are indispensable, because only the complete Cavaliers have the ability to compete with the powerful Westerners to make a living in a real sense.

But if during the regular season, one giant must be missing due to unavoidable reasons, Cavaliers fans would probably prefer Irving to be sitting off the court at this moment, rather than Cousins.

Especially when playing against the Trail Blazers, who have the strongest inside combination in the league, without Irving on the outside, James, Jr., Dellavedova, Shumpert, Jones and others maintain offensive firepower.

But the one player they lacked tonight was indeed Cousins. Now, they couldn't guard Wang Zelin and Aldridge in the first place, and now they don't even have anyone who can come out and attack them.

At the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers took a 15-point lead and beat the Cavaliers 58:43.

If Jr., the sword-wielding guard in front of the court, hadn't suddenly taken a shot and scored three three-pointers from the outside, the score would have been stretched to 20 points by the Trail Blazers.

However, the Cavaliers barely managed to resist for two quarters in a broken formation, but eventually fell in the third quarter.

Entering the second half, the Trail Blazers made a strong effort. Wang Zelin scored a crazy 18 points in a single quarter, plus 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, which completely stunned the team.

After three quarters, the score was stretched to 36 points. The Cavaliers' home court was silent and fell into a deathly silence.

As expected, the game completely entered garbage time.

In the final quarter, the two rookies pecked each other, and the score difference increased instead of decreasing. In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Cavaliers by 135:91 in the away game by 44 points, winning the last game of the December schedule!
