Chapter 486: Wizards Have Strange People
Mike Woodson let out a sigh of relief, straightened his suit, and walked up to shake hands with Jim O'Brien. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They almost cornered the Hawks, and if it weren't for the explosive breeding of Ruan Erniu and the Twin Stars of Embarrassment, who combined for 80 points, plus Salmons' fatal blow at a critical moment, it would have been the Pacers who would have won the game.
In this game, Ruan Erniu contributed 55 points, 26 boards, and 10 blocks of an alternative triple-double, which was naturally a great achievement.
Embarrassed Sen scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists efficiently, and also did his best.
Salmons scored just 12 points in the game, but his final shot was invaluable.
The rest of the Eagles players should review this game, because apart from the above three, there is actually no fourth player on the team to score in double figures.
On the other hand, the Pacers have blossomed more, with 6 double-doubles, and Danny Granger alone scored 35 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.
In general, the losing side played more aggressively, only the winning side, and the superstars were too individual to end up hating at home.
After the game, Pacers head coach Jim O'Brien attended the press conference as usual.
"We were better overall, but it's clear that the Eagles have the character to dominate the game," he said.
I'm happy with the players, Granger played really well, but the Eagles were really the better team.
I don't think Kraft Nguyen is talking big, he does have what it takes to challenge for this season's MVP. ”
After O'Brien left the court, Woodson and Nguyen Erniu attended the press conference together.
Before Woodson could ask a question, he took the initiative and said: "I don't think we were the winners today, the Pacers were the better team, we just got a fluke win." ”
A reporter retorted: "But in the end, it was you who won the game, Kraft Nguyen also won an unprecedented 55+26+10!"
Ruan Erniu on the side said with a smile: "On the surface, it is indeed unprecedented, but who knows if Wilt Chamberlain has ever won such data? After all, in his time, the cap has not yet been put into the technical statistics!"
Erniu's words, on the surface, seem modest and cautious, but in fact, it is not a strategy to market yourself.
The stars in active service are no longer enough to compare with him, and as far as his eyes reach and where he stretches his hand, they have slowly become those ancient giants in history.
Indiana Star reporter Mike Wells asked, "The Hawks have won 10 in a row, how long are you going to extend that win?"
"It's not something we care about, no matter how many games we win in a row, we're going to lose, and no one is going to win all 82 regular-season games," Woodson said. Maybe it's a good thing for us to have a defeat sooner!"
Ruan Erniu said: "I agree with Mike, we will not pursue a one-sided winning streak, and it is our highest priority to get enough records and gain a greater advantage in the playoffs. ”
In the middle and late part of the press conference, some people naturally talked about Erniu's data and MVP.
At this stage, starting from the team's record, Erniu's data is the best in the league, ranking first in both points and rebounds, and the only thing that can threaten Erniu's MVP status must be a better team record.
In this regard, the 9-3 Cavaliers this season have given the Hawks a lot of threat, and LeBron James's average data per game this season is 28.4+7.6+7.2, which is the most dazzling in the league except for Ruan Erniu.
If the Cavaliers' final regular-season record can surpass the Hawks, it is really unclear who will be the MVP in the 08-09 season.
At the beginning of the season, it will take enough time to verify whether the glorious Eagles can hold on all the way to the end of the season.
After beating the Pacers, the Hawks flew back to Atlanta overnight.
Next, they will have two home games to play against the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Bobcats.
On November 18, 2008, the Hawks first hosted the Wizards, the capital team of the United States.
Don't look at the Wizards capital team, their attention in the NBA is quite average, just look at the annual all-meter live broadcast schedule, you can know that they are like stepmothers.
Worse still, Gilbert Arenas, the biggest player on the Wizards' team and who signed a six-year, $110 million extension this summer, continues to be sidelined indefinitely due to injury.
Arenas' work ethic is not a problem, but his injury has seriously affected his quality.
Even if Agent 0 returns to the team in time, no one can say how much his state will recover.
Now the Wizards can only rely on a duo of Caron Butler and Antoine Jamison to support the entire team.
In fact, they did the same for most of last season, as Arenas also played just 13 regular-season games last season.
This summer, the Wizards dared to use a big contract to get Arenas, and it can only be said that the general's performance in previous seasons was too good, so that the Wizards were willing to gamble on him.
The Wizards had a 1-7 record before the Hawks, and if nothing happens, they are destined to be the bottom team in the league this season.
Maybe the Wizards management still has this idea in their hearts, it doesn't hurt to lose a little bit this year, get a good signing next year, and with Arenas paying, the Wizards may be able to directly impact the championship!
Since there is no desire for results, the Wizards are not afraid to send newcomers to hone their skills, especially at the center position, where JaVale McGee, who was selected by the Wizards with the 18th pick in the first round this year, was pushed to the starting position.
Speaking of this summer's '08 draft, there is such a strange phenomenon. That is, the tall center with outstanding physical talent is becoming less and less popular, but the super offensive point guard and the strong interior line have become the hamburger for the teams.
Whether it's Javier McGee or DeAndre Jordan, their draft picks are far below the experts' expectations, and McGee is not bad compared to Jordan Jr., after all, he was drafted in the first round and mixed up as a starter.
Jordan Jr., who is far away in Los Angeles, is still on the fringes of the team.
At the Philips Arena, Nguyen Er Niu and McGee jump the ball in the center circle.
McGee managed to hook the basketball, and then ......
The basketball was directly hit by McGee on the sideline, Ruan Erniu was stunned for half a second, and then couldn't help laughing.
What's the situation?
How easy it was to get the ball?
Ruan Erniu ran to the front court and said to McGee, who was defending him, "Rookie, take it easy!"
McGee just wanted to reply, but Ruan Erniu suddenly stepped forward and shook off McGee to cut the basket.
Embarrassment Sen comprehended the ball and sent an empty pass, and Erniu lightly stretched his ape arm in the air, and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand, giving the Eagles the first goal.
"You liar!" McGee said to Erniu with some unhappiness.
Ruan Erniu shouted at McGee while returning to the defense: "Welcome to the NBA!"
This is how the old bird greets the rookie, McGee has a good talent, but sometimes he can get distracted.
Some Celestial Empire fans later had an interesting comment about him: "All below the head are superstar level!"
