Chapter 328: 326. End of Streak
When you come back to the home court from a place thousands of miles away, the whole team stopped playing and rested at home since arriving home yesterday afternoon. Get swept and take down your opponent.
As a result, the boss of this opponent was unable to play last night due to a sudden change in temperature and caught a cold. The second leader was put on the waiting list because of his hip soreness caused by an old injury before. The third leader was suspended for one game with pay because of a quarrel with the assistant coach , the fourth child is getting old, the place where his leg was injured before is sore in a cold place, and the fifth child is praying for peace at home because of the war in his country, and has no intention of playing in the game...
Popovich, far to the southwest in San Antonio, is probably already pointing at the sky and scolding his mother.
It's too obvious how much the king released the water.
Hawks look at starting lineup of Bobby Jackson, Martin Cliffs, Gerald Wallace, Hedo Turkoglu, Scott Pollard, Kings The four big stars sitting on the bench are here to lose!
The two leading teams in the Wild West are the Spurs with 54 wins and 15 losses, and the Kings with 53 wins and 15 losses. Win another game to return to No. 1 in the Western Conference.
As for the other teams in the West, the third Timberwolves have 44 wins and 24 losses, and the fourth Lakers have 49 wins and 19 losses.
Popovich, who received the news just after the home game in San Antonio, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Unexpectedly!
This nearly 60-year-old man is actually so treacherous!
Popovich is still considered "young" now. After all, he has only been the head coach for five or six years, and he still cares about face. Even if he wanted to lose two more games before not surpassing the Kings, he still played with all the main players.
But Adelman is different. He has been an old coach for more than ten years, and he has also led the team to the finals, twice, more times than Popovich. The key is that they all lost. , nor has he won a championship like Popovich, so he looks down on things other than championships.
Popovich has not yet reached the level of ignoring the regular season record. After all, Adelman came first when he was older, and "finally" fell to second place in the West. How could the Spurs "overtake" and go back?
No one wants to play against the Lakers prematurely!
Although the Lakers' dominance in the regular season has been mediocre in the past two years, ranking second last year and fourth this year, the Lakers were too terrifying in the playoffs last year. If it weren't for Iverson's explosion, they would have swept everything!
The regular season of this year's Lakers continues to be half-dead, but no one dares to underestimate them any more. No one wants to meet them too early. I hope to study more about how they play this year and how to play in the real playoffs. , What is the division of labor between Kobe and O'Neal in the Western Conference playoffs.
Therefore, the Lakers are basically locked in the fourth place in the Western Conference. The Lakers are very eager to rank except when they have not won the championship in 2000. In the next two years, they only need to be in the top four. The combination of Kobe and O'Neal indicates the regular season record is that useful? The playoffs haven't swept you yet.
When the Lakers have no idea of catching up with the Kings and Spurs, No. 1 in the Western Conference has become a hot potato.
The Eagles can't control that much, Popovich vomited blood, the Eagles took advantage of it, and beat the second team of the Kings to death!
Although I had studied and prepared for a whole day before, it was a bit unpleasant to punch cotton, but it was right to win!
Many players on the Kings side even started their careers for the first time. For example, the Kings rookie Gerald Wallace with the 25th pick this year has only played more than 40 games this year, with an average playing time of 8 minutes per game. The sudden start, the same is true for Martin Cliffs, the No. 14 position in the first round in 2000. He didn't have much chance to play last season, and this year he only played more than 20 games.
Except Turkoglu, who tops the power forward, and center Pollard, who are the king's main rotation, and the three outsiders are all guarding the drinking fountains...
The king pretends that he does not want to destroy the integrity of the second team. These young people are full of talents. They can be trained in this difficult time, but everyone understands that this is to avoid being fined by the league. A bunch of excuses.
In this game, the Kings didn't see their usual gorgeous offense at all. The Eagles played very hard because they felt a feeling of being humiliated. The attitude of the Kings is that if they don't let five starters , The feeling that the Eagles can't win at all, this gave the Eagles a lot of stimulation.
The Eagles easily led by 15 points in the first quarter, leading 35 to 20 in the first quarter. After halftime, the Eagles had a lead of nearly 30 points!
Adelman may not have imagined that his "send warmth" would anger his opponent, and the point difference would be so large, but the matter has reached this point and it is irreparable.
In the end, the Eagles defeated the Kings 129 to 90, with a 38-point difference. The Eagles beat the Kings at home and won six consecutive victories!
Liu Mang scored 28 points and 4 assists in this game, and continued to creep up his scoring average, getting closer and closer to 20 points per game.
Before the game, Liu Mang got a level 1 task to get 20 points. At first, Liu Mang thought it was a bit difficult, but the opponent was the Kings. Unexpectedly, the Kings took the initiative to "help" Liu Mang complete the task, and easily obtained 1,000 superstar points.
...
With 51 wins and 18 losses, the Eagles unexpectedly continued to triumph when they faced the strong teams in the West.
However, on the second day after playing the Kings, the Eagles suffered a severe blow when they ushered in the just-beaten Mavericks at home for the last back-to-back of the season.
Playing against the Kings last night was too slack, and he let go of the wild bombardment. When he met the Mavericks today, he was not only slack, but also because of back-to-back exhaustion, he was blown away by the Mavericks who vowed to revenge at the beginning.
After the last game, Nash quickly figured out that this is his current life, and he has no choice but to accept his own struggles, so the Mavericks have maintained the level from the beginning of the last game from the beginning, and The Eagles played poorly back-to-back and played the Mavericks casually like a king, but they were casually won by the Mavericks.
89 to 107, the Eagles lost at home and ended their six-game winning streak.
In this game, Liu Mang scored 12 points. When his teammates were not good enough, the Mavericks' defense focused on him, the only Eagles player who was not affected by back-to-back physical fitness. The second-tier teams can't afford to make waves.
Liu Mang was a little bit stuck, and he scored 28 points in the last game, just to give this game an average.
Looking at the average scoring rate of 19.6 points per game, Liu Mang felt that it was not as easy as imagined! The point is that today's daily task is to score 5 three-pointers in a single game, a level 4 task, but Liu Mang made 1 of 6 three-pointers, and his superstar value of 5,000 points flew away...
Liu Mang did some research. If he wants to end the season with an average of 20 points per game, he has played in all 66 games except for the 3 games he was suspended for. That is to say, he has to score at least 27 points in order to improve by 0.1 points. , That is to say, there must be 4 games with more than 27 points, and the other games must not be less than 20 points, otherwise it will have to average 20 points like back-to-back games against the Kings and Mavericks.
For a rookie, even Liu Mang himself finds it quite difficult. Although Liu Mang has occasionally exploded in scoring before and is the team's third leading scorer, he is not the type to score for the sake of scoring.
Take one step at a time! Although Liu Mang attaches great importance to whether he can average 20+ per game in the rookie game, but if it will affect the team's victory, he will not pay that much attention to it...Fuck!
Liu Mang began to search for the schedule.
There are 12 games left and three more in the month.
Playing Timberwolves on the 24th...Liu Wei felt that it was very difficult to get a high score, and then played against the Trail Blazers at home...it was not easy to get a high score.
The last game of the month against the Celtics...
With this schedule, why does Liu Mang think that the alliance is deliberately against him?
After looking at the April schedule and seeing the first seven opponents, Liu Mang already wanted to throw away this broken team's 2001-2002 team season outline.
Nets, Bucks, Knicks, Celtics, Wizards, Bucks, Pacers, these seven opponents are either improving their record, competing for the playoffs, or have a grudge against Liu Mang of!
Liu Mang is sure, the alliance is against him!
Next 10 opponents in a row! Liu Mang said that it is difficult for him to average 20+ points in these games, how many 30 points are he still thinking about?
Although there is no back-to-back, it is not as easy as imagined to beat these opponents. From the 1st to the 17th, there is a game every other day.
Finally, seeing that the last two games of the season between the Bulls and the Cavaliers were still home games, Liu Mang finally burst into tears. Finally, there are two weak chickens to abuse! It's not easy!
