LeBron James, your house got robbed.

In their first game of April, the Cavaliers ultimately won by a large margin at home.

From the start, the Cavaliers were better prepared and implemented targeted defenses against Durant and Westbrook's offensive methods.

Although the Thunder's young trio could use their talent to create wave after wave of comebacks, the Cavaliers maintained control of the game throughout.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Brooks, eager to win this high-stakes matchup, put all three of his young stars on the court at the same time.

They tried to maximize their time and travel during off-peak hours to catch up with the score.

However, the Cavaliers' offense may not be perfect, and on the defensive end, they can field a lineup that is close to a defensive formation almost the entire game.

The defensive line of Garnett, Battier, Ariza, Green, and Lin faced off against the Thunder's strongest lineup.

Defensive assistant coach Langabaddi specifically changed the matchups.

This allowed Green, who is better at orchestrating defense, to match up against Westbrook, and through positioning, continue to drive Westbrook into traps.

Jeremy Lin then faced off against James Harden, using aggressive defensive tactics to pressure Harden's passing and playmaking.

The frontcourt duo of Ariza and Battier, with their double-teaming and front-back tactics, completely exhausted Durant's stamina halfway through the fourth quarter, forcing him to pass the ball to the still energetic Durant who had been playing all game.

Six minutes into the game, Paul brought his starters onto the court and crushed the Thunder's last struggle, bringing the score to 100-84.

A classic knightly victory.

Use top-notch defense to disrupt the opponent's offense, and use moderate offense to steadily win the game.

Aside from the occasional alley-oop, the game seemed a little dull, but the Cleveland fans didn't care at all.

As long as we can win, that's all that matters.

The shouts that erupted from Quicken Loans Arena the moment Chen Shuo stood up were enough to prove the devotion and attitude of the Cleveland fans.

After waving to the fans, Chen Shuo looked at Presti who was walking over.

"congratulations."

"I, like everyone else, didn't take what you said at the beginning of the season to heart."

"Now it seems like we were all fools."

Presti doesn't care much about winning or losing a game; his gestures and actions reveal more of his respect for his peers.

"By the way, you have a really good eye for talent shows."

Hearing this, Chen Shuo almost couldn't hold back his emotions.

"Thank you for the compliment, but when it comes to the draft, you guys are still better. It's no easy feat to draft three MVPs in three years."

Chen Shuo, wanting to reciprocate the favor he had learned from Presti, decided to lend him a hand.

Presti glanced back at the third young master he had personally chosen, a wry smile playing on his lips. Now, it was a happy kind of trouble.

As for the three MVPs Chen Shuo mentioned, he simply took it as a gesture of flattery.

Chen Shuo and Presti, having developed a mutual respect, chatted briefly before saying goodbye and then prepared to slip away to go home and rest. Chen Shuo's apartment was like a golden palace to him today.

"Chen, come and tell us about today's match."

He was immediately grabbed by Alva, who had just finished interviewing Paul.

Chen Shuo was in the spotlight throughout the offseason and even at the beginning of the season.

Dissing the traitor LeBron James, making bold pronouncements about winning the championship, spending lavishly in free agency, and even chasing down his own head coach—all these actions quickly propelled him and the Cavaliers to the top of the league in the emerging mobile internet era.

But as the team stabilized, Chen Shuo began to work behind the scenes, focusing on team affairs and rarely giving interviews.

On the one hand, he has gradually secured his position as general manager and no longer needs to be as eager to gain traffic as before.

On the other hand, it's not a good thing to raise Gilbert's threshold too quickly as the boss. After all, capitalists are ruthless and never know how to be satisfied. With a 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime.

A gradual and sustained approach is more conducive to Chen Shuo's stable coaching career. Dealing with capitalists like Gilbert is a long-term, dynamic game.

Just like walking a dog, you can't not give it a bone, but you also can't just throw the bone to the dog.

Chen Shuo looked at Alva, signaling him to begin.

"You swept the Thunder this season."

"Durant and Paul are both strong contenders for MVP. What are your thoughts on this?"

Chen Shuo campaigned for Paul without hesitation.

"Anyone who has watched the game knows that this 1.83-meter-tall guy controlled the game and surpassed himself to dominate the sport of giants."

"The last person to do this was in 01."

MVP is a media vote, which is essentially the same as the old American elected politics system. To get votes, you have to be good at telling stories.

The topic of small men dominating giants should be helpful to Paul.

After a brief chat, Alva posed his second question:

"The Timberwolves' Rubio was injured in today's game and will miss the remainder of the season, which means he has dropped out of the Rookie of the Year race."

"The most popular picks right now are all players you personally selected in the draft."

Who would you prefer to see win Rookie of the Year?

"Kyrie Irving or Klay Thompson?"

This is a question that women always ask; women all over the world are making men make choices.

Chen Shuo asked tentatively:

"They are all fantastic players, and I would say they should all be Rookie of the Year."

"Who is the better one?"

"Or, who would you like to see win Rookie of the Year?"

Damn woman.

While Chen Shuo was speechless, he suddenly saw Leonard preparing to return to the locker room, grabbed Leonard and briefly recounted what had happened.

"Kawhi, I know you guys had some private one-on-one matches in training camp."

"Tell me who scored more points against you."

His actions nearly crashed the robot, and after a while, Leonard finally spoke, his face expressionless:

"Kerry, his technique is so deceptive, I always fall for his feints."

It became.

Chen Shuo threw this answer at the camera, then quickly took Xiao Ka and slipped away.

With the season nearing its end, all the major awards for the regular season are on the agenda.

Aside from the MVP, which is the most talked-about award, the most discussed candidate is the Rookie of the Year.

Comparing the data, Irving averaged 18.5 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.1 steals.

Thompson focused more on scoring, especially after the Cavaliers sped up their pace, scoring over 20 points in a row, bringing his stats to 19.1 points, 2.1 assists, and 0.9 steals.

The data shows that the two are not much different, but the fans are not happy.

Thompson's fans believe that the scores from strong teams are more valuable, especially since Thompson, as a rookie, played the role of the second-leading scorer on a team like the Cavaliers, which speaks volumes.

Kyrie Irving's fans were naturally not convinced, and their approach was to make scoring difficult.

They believe that Irving relies entirely on his own initiative and various high-difficulty, complex skills to score, while Thompson relies on the system to survive.

Leonard's interview provided them with ample evidence to emphasize that Irving is a more capable scorer.

Barkley, a supporter of Thompson, offered a classic comment:

Are harder points on the court more valuable than easier ones?

This gave O'Neal an opportunity:

"That's why you didn't win the championship."

"In the finals, you won't get to score so many points so easily."

"In the face of the most brutal defensive environment, hard points become even more precious."

Not having a ring means always being inferior, and even after retirement, people will still bring it up.

Barkley took a deep breath and shifted the topic to Chen Shuo's eye for talent in the draft.

"In any case, the Rookie of the Year award will be chosen by Chen Shuo."

"He practically picked the two best players of the year."

As he said this, Barkley took the opportunity to vent his anger directly on the Kings' management.

"Now look back at what those idiots, the king, did!"

"JJ Hickson, whom they acquired in the trade for the 10th pick, has been waived."

"And the Cavaliers' first-round pick, which they acquired in exchange for their high draft pick, has almost locked them in the 30th pick."

"I can't even describe their stupidity in words."

Far away in Sacramento, a 63-year-old white-haired man watched television in silence.

In the quiet room, the only sound was the "sizzling" of teeth grinding together, which made one feel an unbearable, aching sensation.
