Chapter 209: March Schedule

The field was quiet, as if there was no fan, Wang Meng wore the Hornets away jersey, and stubbornly stood up to the opponent holding the ball in front of him.

In front of him, stood a much lower player, who was wearing a golden jersey and a big number three could be seen if you looked from behind him.

Chris Paul, Lakers starting point guard!

He looked up at the time for a moment, and then unhurriedly raised the ball to West, who immediately attracted Gasol's attention with the ball, and this guy's projection ability was too good to be defended.

At this moment, a golden figure ran past West, West stuffed the ball to this person, this person directly made a low-handed layup, sent the basketball into the basket, behind him, although Tony Allen chased with all his might, but could only helplessly watch him score.

Kobe bryant.

Wang Meng gritted his teeth fiercely and looked up at the scorer, 102:96, the Hornets were 4 points behind, and there was only 1 minute left.

Sighing helplessly, Wang Meng shook his head, "It's still not good." As Wang Meng said to himself, the Lakers' court instantly turned white, and the players in front of him disappeared one after another.

Wang Meng stood alone in this blank world, his face full of worry. "Lost again, are the Lakers really that strong?"

That's right, Wang Meng is simulating the games against various strong teams in the playoffs in the playing space.

The Spurs, Thunder, Lakers in the West, the Heat, the Bulls, and the Celtics in the East are all in Wang Meng's simulation, but the result makes Wang Meng very uncomfortable.

Of these teams, Wang Meng simulated and simulated, but none of them could take advantage.

No matter which team it is, it seems to be able to eat the Wasps.

"Why is that?" Wang Meng was extremely depressed, but he didn't know what was going on, compared with these teams, the starting lineup of the Hornets was not weak at all, and even much stronger, but they always had the upper hand in the confrontation.

Monty's tactical arrangement is not too problematic, and his temporary scheduling ability is not too bad, but he still can't win, even if he wins a few times occasionally, it seems very small in the playoffs with 4 wins in 7 games.

More than a dozen games have been played since the end of the All-Star Weekend, and the Hornets have played as well as expected, winning nine of their 13 games and almost confirming a playoff spot.

As the team such as Oden, Wallace and others adapted, Wang Meng gradually reduced the number of shots and increased the number of tandem assists, and his ranking in the scoring list continued to decline, averaging 24 points per game, but his number of assists continued to rise, averaging 11.3 assists per game close to the 11.9 assists of Rajon Rondo, the first place in the assist list.

In the league's regular season MVP list, Wang Meng's ranking has risen again and again, from fifth to second, and is currently second only to Heat's James. And up to now, Wang Meng's efficiency is very high, and he is still one of the members of the "180" club with an average contribution of 20+10 per game.

The 180 club means that the sum of a player's shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, and free throw shooting percentage is greater than or equal to 180. Wang Meng's two-point shooting rate this season has reached 51%, and the three-point shooting rate is as high as 45%, which is the highest in the league, and the free throw shooting rate is 92%, which is completely a qualified 180 member.

Not only that, Wang Meng's average assist-to-turnover ratio per game is also very rare among point guards. Wang Meng's efficiency rating ranks fourth in the league and he is the only guard in the top 10.

By now, his voice in the league has become higher and higher, and he has the meaning of surpassing Paul, Rose and others to become the league's No. 1 point guard.

But Wang Meng didn't have much happiness in his heart. It's not enough, no matter how hard Wang Meng tries, it is still difficult to defeat strong teams such as the Spurs and Lakers in the simulated game.

Without championships, no amount of these accolades is of any use.

Wang Meng knows this very well, he also knows that when he comes to a new team, the first season is undoubtedly unrealistic to win the championship, most things are new in the Hornets, the coach is new, the team owner is new, and there are not many players before the Hornets now, it can be said that the entire Hornets team is equivalent to a new team, such a team is still in the exploration period for itself, and it is undoubtedly unrealistic to go further in the playoffs.

The method of using the Magic Medical Kit to treat an injured player and signing him to the Hornets to increase his strength is useless, because by now, the free agency market is closed and no team can sign a player until the playoffs are over.

Before the market closed, Wang Meng hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to save this medical kit, because he didn't know when the reward points would appear next time if he used this medical kit.

The Olympics are about to start, if you want to get a good result in the Olympics, Wang Meng must have a powerful helper, Yao Ming is the only one Wang Meng can choose, so this medical kit must be booked for Yao Ming. The playoffs are held every year, but the Olympics only come once every four years, and if this opportunity is missed, Yao Ming will not be able to play.

"Go as far as you can." Wang Meng gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart: "System, simulate the Heat playoffs." ”

In March, the Hornets' play continued to heat up, No. 15 against the Lakers, Gasol broke out, broke out the West who defended him, led the Hornets to defeat the invincible Lakers 103-100, No. 25 against the Spurs, Wang Meng suppressed Parker to death, and the Hornets used their youth and vitality to defeat the Spurs with old arms and legs. Consecutive wins have taught the All-Union Hornets just how strong.

Before you know it, the time has come to the end of March. To the cheers of the audience, the Hornets welcomed the challenge of the Trail Blazers at home.

The Hornets' order of appearance was decided before the All-Star Weekend, and excluding the benches, Tony Allen was the fifth from the bottom to play, followed by Oden, then Gerard Wallace, Pau Gasol, and finally Wang Meng.

It is worth mentioning that when Auden was on the field, the audience erupted in very violent cheers, and in this cheer, there were several loud shouts, "Pioneers, thank you for sending Oden!" ”

Although the general manager of the Trail Blazers did not come to New Orleans with the team, it is estimated that this Portland is also angry enough.

When Wang Meng came on the court, the cheers of the audience reached their peak, "King of New Orleans!" The fans on the pitch shouted loudly.

Wang Meng smiled and nodded, but he always felt strange in his heart, whenever he heard New Orleans, he always unconsciously thought of roasting wings.

When the players were warming up, Aldridge, an All-Star power forward who has been teammates with Oden for a long time and is now the boss of the Trail Blazers, came over to catch up with Oden and Wallace.

"How? Greg, how are you doing in New Orleans? Aldridge is an introvert and not good at words, but as a leader in '06, he has a very good relationship with Auden in '07, and he asked on Oden's shoulder as soon as he came over.

"Wonderful." Oden smacked his lips and almost wrote the word happiness on his face. "Don't look at me as the No. 4 guy in New Orleans, but I'm definitely much more comfortable than the best in the Trail Blazers, and it's really great to be able to play on the court!" Since being able to play, Oden is simply a full-time blue-collar worker, and he will do any dirty work, which is something that no champion would usually do, and Oden still said, "I want to make up for all the games that I didn't play back before." ”

At the same time, Oden also increased his physical recovery training in his usual training, and his time on the field also increased greatly. So far, he has played an average of more than 38 minutes, and he can get 16 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks in that time, which is so good that the whole league is jealous.

"Okay." Aldridge sighed and said, "Fate is really tricky, if you were as healthy as you are now, with you, me, and Brandon, we will definitely be able to lead the Trailblazers further, but it's a pity"

Oden was silent, he was indeed fine now, and he could enjoy basketball to the fullest, but Roy would never be able to play on the court again, and he lost his meniscus, which was completely different from his own injury.

Thinking back carefully, although he entered the league as a champion, he was soon injured, and at that time Roy was still one of the strongest scoring guards in the league, but he did not have the posture of a first-class star in the league, not only usually asking questions about himself, but also paying great attention to his injury.

"Brandon is a good boss! Marcus, you must be a good boss like him at the Trail Blazers! Auden said in a deep voice.

Aldridge didn't speak, just nodded.

The game officially began, Oden and Okafor jumped the ball, the result is naturally undoubted, Okafor is now celebrating the New Year with Wang Xiaoer, a year is not as good as a year, compared to his hot performance when he first joined the league, the current Okafor's physical fitness has declined to varying degrees, explosiveness and bounce are also plummeting, and Oden is not at the same level at all.

Wang Meng received the jump ball, looked at Felton, the little fat man, and couldn't help laughing. "Fatty, did anyone tell you should lose weight."

Fattaon was stunned and was about to speak, Wang Meng launched instantly, broke through from Felton's left and entered the inner line, Okafor saw the Wasp's old acquaintance come in, and immediately greeted him, as if he wanted to give this guy who had been his boss for a few days a hot pot to taste.
