Chapter 261: The regular season is coming to an end
In fact, on April 2, the Los Angeles Clippers played away against the San Antonio Spurs, after the game, at the post-game press conference, reporters asked Coach Bill Fish, everyone knows that Tiger has followed the Los Angeles Clippers to San Antonio, but in the end he did not appear at the scene of the game, which made everyone a little imaginative. Training Injury? Recurrence of an old injury?
"Tiger left at noon, and he asked me for leave, saying that a very important friend had passed away and that he needed to go on a final ride, so I agreed. As for when he will return, there is no definite news on this, he was in a bad mood at the time, and I think maybe he needs time to calm down. ”
Coach Bill Fitch did not hide the reason for Tiger's leave, Tiger's itinerary will soon be picked up by reporters, and there is no need to hide all this at all, deliberately avoiding it is a bit of a cover-up, but it is not given, the exact time of Tiger's return to the team is not given. After listening to Coach Billfish's explanation, the reporters also said that it was understandable, but soon, some media picked up Tiger's itinerary, and some newspapers reprinted Tiger's photos in Xiangjiang.
The profession of a reporter, sometimes he is like a female cousin, he will hold you to the sky, and he can trample you to death for a while, but sometimes, you have to admit that they are really powerful, just one day, about the life of his brother, and the photos of Tiger attending his brother's concert in the United States, all of them were pulled out, because the name Tiger Washington is known all over the United States, and a superstar in China has passed away.
On April 6, Tiger was in Denver, and after the game with the Denver Nuggets, he was blocked by reporters in front of the players' tunnel, which was the first time Tiger appeared in the game after disappearing for a few days, and the reporter asked too many questions that needed to be certified by Tiger, such as why, Tiger deliberately tied a black strap on his arm in today's game?
"I want people to focus on the court, now the regular season has reached a critical moment, and I'm a basketball player, you are professional basketball reporters, as for where I went before, and what this belt represents, it has nothing to do with basketball, and I hope this matter can end here. In this regard, I just want to say: please maintain respect for the deceased. Thank you! ”
Tiger only left this sentence, and left directly, now he is not in a very good mood, I don't want to entangle with reporters, after returning to the United States, Tiger knows, some recent media reports on him and his brother, although most of the media reports are positive, but there are always some sensational, no professional ethics tabloids, will be in order to attract people's attention, and make some specious reports, if it was before, Tiger would not care about these, but this time, Tiger was really angry, facing reporters' questions, Directly and forcefully refused.
The 20022003 NB regular season is coming to an end little by little, and some rankings in the East and West, as well as playoff matchups, have also been released.
East: Detroit Pistons s Washington Wizards, Detroit Pistons have performed well this season, and now they firmly occupy the first position in the East, their first-round opponent in the playoffs is Michael Jordan's Washington Wizards team after his return, in fact, it stands to reason that the Washington Wizards' lineup is not bad, especially after Jermaine O'Neal joined, but their record is only ranked eighth in the East, which is a bit unbelievable.
New Jersey Nets Milwaukee Bucks, Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin led by the New Jersey Nets, in recent seasons, have performed very eye-catching in the East, especially Jason Kidd's passing and organization, which helped the team rank second in the East. The Milwaukee Bucks made a very stupid trade this season, they traded Ray Allen for Gary Payton, they traded a three-point killer for a 34-year-old veteran, I wonder what went wrong with the management's head?
Indiana Pacers s Boston Celtics, in recent seasons, the Indiana Pacers have begun to decline, the former boss of the East, with the gradual aging of Reggie Miller, the team's state has also been up and down, this season can be ranked third in the East, in fact, it has been beyond many people's expectations, one of the giants of the Boston Celtics NB, after sinking for a few seasons, under the leadership of Paul Pierce, began to recover.
Philadelphia 76ers s New Orleans Pelicans, this season Deacon Bemutombo left Philadelphia, Allen Iverson replaced with a new helper Keith Van Horne, the team is still Allen Iverson alone team, but their record is still in the fourth position in the East, when the league pays more and more attention to team basketball, the strength of one person begins to seem, so thin, New Orleans Pelicans, is the former Charlotte Hornets, this season they moved to New Orleans, the name of the team has been changed, The lack of big-name players is still their biggest problem.
This season's situation of the West being strong and the East is weak, it is even more obvious in the NB, when the regular season is not completely over, the top eight in the East have been discharged early, and the Washington Wizards, who are eighth in the East, only have a 40-39 record, and they have a winning rate of 50, but this record, if placed in the West, cannot enter the playoff sequence at all.
There are still the last 3 games in the regular season, the Houston Rockets in the West, the Utah Jazz, the Phoenix Suns, the three teams are still in the for, the last playoff spot is in a hurry, the victory between the three teams is only one game gap, and it is normal for any result to occur, the old powerhouse Utah Jazz, the Phoenix Suns, the regulars of the Western Conference playoffs, and the Houston Rockets with a recovery atmosphere, none of them are easy to mess with.
Whether Yao Ming can lead the team to the playoffs in the first season is still a question mark, but there is no suspense about the first place in the West, compared to the first in the East, the Detroit Pistons' 49-31 record, the first in the West, the Los Angeles Clippers, has achieved a 71-8 record, and in the last 3 regular season games, the Los Angeles Clippers still have suspense for everyone.
The Chicago Bulls' all-time record is 72-10, and now the Los Angeles Clippers have three games left, as long as they can win two games in these three games, they will set a new regular season record, and their next three opponents are the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, and Utah Jazz, these three teams who are desperate for the playoffs, which also makes everything suspenseful. To be continued.
