326. The winning streak ends
When you come home from a place all the way, you start to rest at home without playing when you get home yesterday afternoon, you start studying your opponent this morning, and you're still making tactical changes before the game, just to win the opponent at home without being swept away.
As a result, the boss of this opponent was unable to play last night because of the sudden change in temperature, the second boss was put on the waiting list because of the previous old injury affecting his hip soreness, the third boss was banned by the team for one game because of a quarrel with the assistant coach, the fourth boss was sore in the cold place because of his age, and the fifth boss was praying for peace at home because of the war in his own country......
Popovich, who is far 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.
The Hawks are looking at the starting lineup of Bobby Jackson, Martin Cliffs, Gerald Wallace, Siddo Turkoglou, Scott Pollard, and then look at the four stars sitting on the Kings bench, this is the rush to lose!
The two leading teams in the Wild West are the Spurs, 54-15, and the Kings are 53-15, and the Kings will tie the Spurs if they win, plus the two teams will win and lose 2-1 with the Kings and the Spurs, and the Kings only need one more win to return to the first place in the West.
As for the other teams in the West, the Timberwolves are 44-24 in third and the Lakers are 49-19 in fourth.
Popovich, who was far away at San Antonio's home stadium and received the news just after the game, almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
I didn't expect it!
This almost 60-year-old old man is so treacherous!
Popovich is still "young", after all, he has only been a head coach for five or six years, and he still cares about face, even if he wants to lose two more games before and not surpass the Kings, he is still fully on the line.
But Adelman is different, he has been a veteran coach for more than ten years, and he has also led the team to the finals, or twice, more than Popovich has entered the finals, the key is that he has lost, and he has not won the championship like Popovich, so he looks down on things other than the championship.
Popovich has not yet reached the state of treating the regular season record as nothing, Adelman arrived first after all, and "hard" fell to the second place in the West, how can the Spurs "overtake" it again?
No one wants to play the Lakers too early!
Although the Lakers have dominated the regular season in the past two years, second last year and fourth this year, the Lakers in the playoffs last year were too terrifying, if it weren't for Iverson's explosion, it would have swept everything!
This year, the Lakers continue to be half-dead in the regular season, but no one dares to despise them even a penny, no one wants to meet them prematurely, and hopes to study how they play this year, how to play, and what is the division of labor between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal in the Western Conference playoffs.
Therefore, in the Lakers, the Lakers basically locked up the fourth place in the West, the Lakers were very eager for the ranking except when they did not win the championship in 2000, and the next two years were as long as they could be in the top four. The playoffs aren't sweeping you yet.
With the Lakers having little idea of catching up with the Kings and Spurs, No. 1 in the West has become a hot potato.
The Hawks can't manage so much, Popovich vomited blood and vomited him, and the Hawks picked up the bargain and beat the Kings' second team to death!
Although I studied all day and prepared all day before, it was a bit unpleasant to punch the cotton, but it was right to win!
Many players on the Kings' side even started for the first time in their careers, such as Gerald Wallace, the 25th pick of the Kings this year, who has only played more than 40 times this year, averaging 8 minutes per game, and then started coldly, and Martin Cliffs, the No. 14 in the first round in 2000, did not have many opportunities to play last season, and only played more than 20 times this year, and only started once.
In addition to Tecoglu, who is the top forward, and Pollard, who is the main rotation of the Kings, the outside line is guarding the water cooler......
The Kings don't want to undermine the integrity of the second team, and these youngsters are talented newcomers who can be trained in these tough times, but everyone understands that this is a bunch of excuses to avoid being fined by the league.
This game is really, the Kings don't see their usual gorgeous offense at all, and the Hawks are playing very hard, because they feel a sense of being humiliated, and the attitude of the Kings is to say that if they don't let five starts, the Hawks can't win at all, which gives the Hawks a lot of excitement.
The Hawks easily led by 15 points in the first quarter, leading 35-20 in the first quarter, and the Hawks had a lead of nearly 30 points at halftime!
Adelman may not have imagined that his "warmth" would anger his opponent and the point difference would be stretched so wide, but the matter has become irreparable.
In the end, the Hawks defeated the Kings 129-90, with a 38-point difference, and the Hawks beat the Kings at home and won six in a row!
Liu Mang scored 28 points and 4 assists in this game, and continued to increase his average points per game in a peristaltic manner, getting closer and closer to averaging 20 points per game.
Before the game, Liu Mang drew a level 1 task to get 20 points, Liu Mang initially felt that the difficulty was a bit high, but the other party was the king team, but he didn't expect the king team to take the initiative to "help" Liu Mang complete the task, and the 1000 superstar value was easily obtained.
……
With 51 wins and 18 losses, the Hawks surprisingly continued to soar against back-to-back Western Conference powerhouses.
However, on the second day of the Kings game, the Hawks suffered a severe blow when they hosted the Mavericks at home, the last back-to-back of the season.
The Kings played too lax last night, and let go of the open bombardment, resulting in when they met the Mavericks today, not only slack, but also because of back-to-back exhaustion, the opening was blown up by the Mavericks who vowed revenge.
After the last game, Nash quickly figured out that this is his current fate, and he has no choice but to accept it if he struggles, so the Mavericks maintained the same level as they did at the beginning of the last game from the beginning, while the Hawks played poorly back-to-back, and played the Mavericks as kings casually, and were casually won by the Mavericks.
89-107, the Hawks lost at home, ending a six-game winning streak.
Liu Mang scored 12 points in this game, and when his teammates were not strong, and the Mavericks' defensive focus was biased towards him, the only player on the Hawks who was not affected by back-to-back physical fitness, or after his death, he couldn't make any waves against this kind of second-tier team in the league by himself.
Liu Mang was a little distracted, and he scored 28 points in the last game, just to average this game.
Looking at the average score of 196 points per game, Liu Mang felt that this was not as easy as he imagined! The key is that today's daily task is 5 three-pointers in a single game, and the 4-level task resulted in Liu Mang's 1,5000 superstar points in 6 three-pointers......
Liu Mang studied that if he wants to end this season with an average of 20 points per game, he has played all 66 games except for the 3 games he was banned, that is, to improve 01 points, he must score at least 27 points, that is, he must have 4 games with more than 27 points, and other games must not be less than 20 points, otherwise he will have to average 20 points like back-to-back games against the Kings and Mavericks.
This is not easy for a rookie, even Liu Mang himself, although Liu Mang used to score occasionally, and he was the team's third scorer, but he is not the kind of person who scores for the sake of scoring.
Let's take it one step at a time! Although Liu Mang attaches great importance to whether the rookie can average 20+ per game, if it will affect the team's victory, he attaches less importance to this...... !
Liu Mang began to search for the schedule.
There are 13 games left, and there are four games left this month.
No. 24 against the Timberwolves...... Liu Mang felt that it was difficult to get a high score, and then played the Pacers and Trail Blazers at home...... It's not easy to get high scores, the two teams don't hate him to death, and he is definitely the opponent's key defensive target.
The last game of the month against the Celtics......
In this schedule, why does Liu Mang think that the alliance is deliberately against him?
After looking at the schedule in April and seeing the first seven opponents, Liu Mang already wanted to throw away the 2001-2002 team season outline.
Nets, Bucks, Knicks, Celtics, Wizards, Bucks, Pacers, these seven opponents are either improving their records, or competing for the playoffs, or they have a grudge against Liu Mang!
Liu Mang is sure that the alliance is against him!
Next 11 opponents in a row! Liu Mang said that it is difficult for him to average 20+ per game in these games, and he still wants to score a few 30 points?
Although there are no back-to-backs, it is not as easy as imagined to play these opponents, from the 24th to the 30th, from the 1st to the 17th, there is a match every other day.
Finally, seeing that the last two games of the season were still home games, Liu Mang was finally about to cry, and finally there were two weak chickens to abuse! It's not easy!
