Chapter 166: The Battle Situation in the East
After the game against the Pacers, the Hawks took a break and embarked on another back-to-back road trip. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time, their target will be Dallas, where the Mavericks, who had the best regular season record last year, suffered a defeat in their first road game of the season.
And their opponent is none other than the Eagles.
Back on their home turf, the Mavericks are bound to fight back.
Since the two teams are in different halves, there will only be two matches in a season.
If the Mavericks don't get revenge in this game, then they will have to trouble the Hawks again next season.
On Dec. 29, the Hawks arrived at the American Airlines Arena, home of the Dallas Mavericks.
Before the game, Mavericks owner Cuban also personally ran over to ask Ruan Erniu if he had any plans to join Dallas.
Although Cuban was a good boss, Ruan Erniu politely declined his invitation.
Nguyen Er Niu said he still wants to make his dream come true in Atlanta.
As his performance gets better and better, as one of the few stars in this league whose strength and commercial value are among the top, it is only natural that Nguyen Er Niu will be welcomed by various teams.
Superstars must learn to enjoy and refuse, and Ruan Erniu is going through all this.
For the Hawks, today's game is destined to be difficult, and the Mavericks, as a Western giant, will not allow themselves to lose to their opponents in a row.
The game was uneventful, with the Atlanta Hawks losing to themselves.
Maybe the long-haul flight is too tiring for them, or maybe the players themselves are too lax.
Except for the first quarter, the Hawks had a brief lead in the opening period, and the Mavericks were in control of the game for the rest of the game.
Nowitzki had a great game, scoring 28 points, nine rebounds and three assists on 11-of-19 shooting and 5-of-6 free throws.
The 28 points were also the highest individual scores for both teams in the game.
Josh Howard and Devin Harris each scored 19 points and provided enough firepower for the team.
The Mavericks, whose lineup is gradually getting neat, are starting to slowly exert their strength, and they are finding the feeling of a strong team.
Ruan Erniu and Embarrassing Sen did not play well in this game.
The former got 26 points and 17 rebounds, but the shooting rate was only 44%, which doesn't seem too bad just by looking at the data.
But as soon as you look at his opposing defender, Eric Dampier, who is known as the "second center in the league" (self-proclaimed), this guy has a double-double data of 12+10, you can imagine what the state of Erniu is in this game.
Embarrassment made 6 of 18 shots, relying on free throws to kill, barely got 17 points and 5 assists.
Neither leader found his form, and the Eagles' losses were being cleaned up.
92:97, it was a game that lacked suspense, and the reason why the score was pulled closer was because in the second half of the fourth quarter, the game went into garbage time.
Atlantan's road trip didn't go well, as they suffered a defeat at the starting stop.
It was also the Eagles' last game of the month.
After a two-day break in Dallas, the Eagles will be on their flight journey again, with their next stop being Cleveland, Ohio.
Flying from the east to the west, and from the west back to the east, if it weren't for the loose schedule, the Hawks would have really scolded their mothers.
Regardless of whether the league's schedule is reasonable or not, it must be admitted that the Hawks do have the right and spirit to complain this season.
If it was in the usual season, they would have pretended to be dead and waited for the draft picks, so it didn't matter if the schedule was reasonable.
With the end of the game day on December 31, the latest regular season standings of the NBA teams have also been released.
In the East, the teams ranked 1-8 are: Celtics, Pistons, Hawks, Magic, Raptors, Wizards, Pacers, Nets.
Celtic's big3 is still huge, with an impressive 26-3 record since the start of the season, and they have only lost three games in more than two months.
Who will stop this terrible team in the playoffs?
The Pistons, who won 23-8, as a veteran powerhouse in the East, can be said to have played poorly this season, and the aging of the lineup and the lack of interior strength are their old problems.
However, with the advantage of three more games and a 2-1 record advantage against the Hawks, they still beat the fast-rising Atlanta Hawks and ranked second in the East.
The Hawks' record so far this season is 22-6, which is not easy for the young Hawks.
What made this team reborn was naturally Ruan Erniu, a native of the Celestial Empire.
It was because of his outstanding play that the Eagles, a salted fish team, turned over.
The Magic team, which welcomed Mr. Lewis, has also made great strides from last season. And they are also one of three teams to have beaten Celtic.
The Sparks are entering the peak of his career this season, and without the Celestial Empire, he would be the best choice for the Eastern Conference All-Star starting center. Well, well, it's a pity that there are no ifs......
The Magic have a 20-13 record, which is a good result, but they definitely want more.
The Raptors' 16-16 record keeps their winning percentage at 50 percent, and Bosh remains in Toronto, but he and management remain at odds.
It's chilling that he thinks that the Italian champion Baryani has too many privileges and doesn't show the strength to match them.
It's amazing that the Wizards are still in the top eight in the East. The 15-14 record may seem mediocre, but it was done without Arenas, and Jamison and Caron Butler have been good enough so far that no one can ask them to do more.
The Pacers' 15-17 record is not ideal, but in the East, it is enough to finish in the top eight. Danny Granger has a promising future, and he is the hope of the Pacers' revival.
The Nets are only 14-17 and eighth in the East, and it is unknown if they will be able to make the playoffs this season.
Kidd's forehead lines deepened a little more.
The teams ranked 9-15 in the East are the Cavaliers, 76ers, Bulls, Bobcats, Bucks, Knicks, and Heat.
James has reason to cry, although he can still maintain 30+7.9+7.2 stats efficiently this season, he has always lacked teammates who can give him enough support.
Aking must lead the team back to the playoffs in the next game, and James, who is gradually stepping into the middle generation of the league, is eager to prove himself with results.
Of the remaining teams, the ones that should be criticized the most are the Bulls and the Heat.
The Bulls also won 49-33 last season, which should be a team with higher aspirations, but at present, the goal of the Windy City has basically become a lottery show in pursuit of high picks.
The Heat naturally don't need a majority, last season's championship, last season's fourth place in the East. One of the league's strongest duo with O'Neal and Wade. It is actually ranked first from the bottom of the East with 8 wins and 23 losses.
Not only did most of the media in the United States not expect it, but I am afraid that even they themselves are a little mistaken.
If D. Wade's injury is an unavoidable problem, then Shaquille O'Neal's laziness is an act that cannot be forgiven.
The aging shark is just eating his old book, and his lazy style also makes the management of the Heat team see no hope.
If Pat Riley in November is still hesitating, then the God Operator in December has made up his mind to kick some hopelessly fat man out of the team, even if the price is lower. (To be continued.) )
