The NBA's Christmas game this year did not have the desired effect, and the main reason was that O'Neal was injured and could not play.

Wang watched the whole game at home tomorrow.

It's true that the Heat don't have much competitive fighting spirit, but the Lakers are even more absent-minded.

Wade made a big splash with the home court bonus, scoring a game-high 40 points and 11 assists, and the Heat team's shooting rate was as high as 48 percent, while the Lakers on the other side scored three double-doubles, namely Kobe Bryant with 16 points, Turiaf with 13 points, and Luke Walton with 10 points.

On the first day after Christmas, the 76ers kicked off their last tough game of '06.

West Away Match.

They will play against the Warriors, Kings, Trail Blazers, Lakers, Nuggets, Jazz and Timberwolves.

The Pacific Division and the Northwest Division took a big turn, and they didn't return to Philadelphia until January 5 after playing the Minnesota Timberwolves, which is equivalent to playing from 06 this year to 07 next year, and by the way, it will be New Year's Day.

There are two of them back to back.

Since the schedule is all away games, the goal of Wang's coaching staff tomorrow is to win half of the games.

As a result, in the first game, the Warriors suffered a big defeat.

Because it was not very humane to call people out to play on the road at Christmas, the 76ers flew to Oakland early in the morning and played the Warriors that night.

The Warriors were able to beat the 76ers 124-101 with a three-pointer finish over the game.

Then back-to-back games against the Kings, the 76ers lost again.

The two-game losing streak has cast a shadow over the entire Western Conference road trip.

Fighting the new army Trailblazers, the 76ers finally won.

But then on December 31, the last game of '06, they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, and the last round of the schedule in December turned out to be 1-3.

Some American media angrily criticized the 76ers for being infected with the quality of "home dragons, away bugs", and such a team will not go far in the playoffs.

In the end, the 76ers only won 2 games in this wave of Western Conference road trips, namely the Trail Blazers and the final Timberwolves, suffering a wave of two consecutive losses and a wave of three consecutive losses.

The record changed to 13-19 and dropped two places in the Eastern Conference to be overtaken by the Charlotte Bobcats and the New York Knicks.

The New York press burst into cynicism.

"The 76ers' victory after the change of coach was only temporary, and it was a Chinese tactic...... Oh no, it should be a routine, and when it is recognized by the league's true tacticians, the 76ers are obviously not far from capsizing. ”

The criticism from the outside world will come out tomorrow!

He has a good mental adjustment ability, and in the face of so much pressure, he is still able to remain calm, basically unaffected, and the team's affairs are also able to proceed steadily.

Back in Philadelphia, Billy King invites King to dinner tomorrow.

This dinner was served at the famous "Geno's Steak" restaurant in downtown Philadelphia, which is open 24 hours a day and only accepts cash transactions.

The decoration of the environment belongs to the upper floor, and after walking in, there is a separate waiter standing at the table for two people, serving the two of them.

Billy King tipped and dismissed the waiter.

"Coach Wang, does the team seem to be in some trouble?"

Billy King said straight to the point.

Wang expected Billy King to talk about the team, and he actually wanted to hear Billy King's opinion, after all, he is the general manager of the team.

"I watched the losing game, is there anything that needs to be strengthened in the team's squad?"

As a result, Billy King didn't have any opinion at all, and directly asked Wang if he needed a trade tomorrow to strengthen him.

'There are a lot less rumours from Allen, although the team lost, but our spirits, all aspects of our form are good, the dressing room is very united, and when we come back at home, we should be able to sprint back to 10 or even within 10 places. Instead of answering Billy King's question about the trade head-on, Wang Tomorrow said some of the team's latest developments.

Billy King nodded frequently, expressing his approval of Wang's coaching level tomorrow.

"As for the transaction........ Wang Mingming showed a hint of hesitation, "Actually, because I coach the players in the team, I am very familiar with every player, and I have become a mentor and friend with some of them, if there is a trade, then some players in the team will definitely leave......."

If the media were here, they would definitely laugh at Wang Mingming's naivety.

But after listening to Wang Mingming's words, Billy King only showed a trace of surprise, and then fell into deep thought, and said to Wang Mingming seriously: "If from a personal point of view, I don't want any deals, but helping the team better is the job we should do, putting aside the business and competitive point of view, I think you should have a more professional professional attitude." ”

After listening to Billy King's words, the king was silent.

He knew he was a bit emotional, but he couldn't talk about the players as if they were commodities on the table.

Wang Tomorrow struggled for a moment, and then calmed down.

Professionalism prevailed and he said, "Add to the center position." ”

"Center?"

Billy King doesn't quite understand Wang's thinking tomorrow, there is already a big man like Durham Porter in the center position, why do you need to add it?

"Samuel Delham Porter rebounds well and is very aggressive on the defensive end, but the defensive awareness is really not strong, and he is prone to shaking, encountering some technical interior lines, and often being plagued by fouls. Smaller lineups can sometimes work wonders, but there are some major problems. ”

"And the backup center Steven Hunter is too thin and can't move fast, and the number five has been a loss."

"Hunter's defense should be okay, right?" Billy King thinks that Hunter can always contribute blocks in a game, and the guy's jumping power and arm span are very good, although he is a little thinner, but he is not so thin that he can't be a substitute, right?

"In my system, people who can't shoot accurately and run slowly will be eliminated more and more." Wang Mingming said his vision for the team, "In the offense, Hunter has no way to make high-quality covers, no mid-range shooting, average rebounding ability, relatively high blocking level, and can't save because of the problem of foot movement in defense, and there is no way to rotate defense." ”

"I want a center who can switch to the perimeter on the defensive end and can open up space or make high-quality pick-and-rolls on the offensive end, even if the rebounds are a little bit worse."

"If you don't ask for it, forget it, if you ask for it, why is it so difficult!"

Billy King said with a wry smile that Wang Mingming's special reinforcement suggestion is very targeted, but I'm afraid it's hard to find such a center.

"If not, don't force it, Hunter is only 25 years old, I can still nurture him and tap his potential."

Wang Mingming was afraid that Billy King would "sell" some of his key players, and after finishing speaking, he also listed some players who could not be moved for the time being.

Billy King gestured with an "OK" gesture.

At this time, the waiter brought the steak to the table.

A classic filet mignon from North America, with tender meat and a delicate taste......
