Chapter 196: Before All-Star Weekend
"Aha." Wang Meng rose sharply, took out his mobile phone and looked at his watch with sleepy eyes, it was already past ten o'clock.
I was so happy to talk to Jeremy Lin last night, and I didn't talk until more than two o'clock in the morning, and the two of them opened. By the time Wang Meng returned to the hotel and went to sleep, it was already three o'clock.
After the Knicks, the Hornets had a short three-day break, and then there was a devilish streak.
On February 21, the Hornets played the Thunder away, and then flew to Indiana overnight to prepare for the game against the Pacers on the 22nd, and then flew to Clifforn again overnight to play the Cavaliers on the 23rd.
Thankfully, the Hornets didn't play since the Cavaliers on the 23rd, and until the end of the All-Star Weekend on the 28th, the Hornets players had five days to spare.
In the three games, the Hornets played very hard in the first game, and the entanglement with the Thunder lasted until the last moment, Wang Meng's final shot did not score, and the Thunder defeated the Hornets by one point 99:98.
The second game was a little difficult, although the Pacers did not have a particularly bullish star, but the overall strength of the team was very balanced, it was difficult to deal with, and the Hornets players did a night of plane and the state was not very good, the Hornets and the Pacers played overtime, in overtime, Wallace suddenly became powerful, scored two three-pointers in a row, and also broke into the interior to come to a violent dunk, the score of the two sides was pulled away, and the Hornets defeated the Pacers 113:108 with difficulty.
By the time of Game 3, the Hornets players were all tired.
Except, of course, Wang Meng.
As mentioned earlier, Wang Meng plays simulated games in the training space every night, but the role of the training space is more than that, Wang Meng's sleep effect is very good every night, and there is no discount at all in terms of physical strength because of continuous night flights and high-intensity competitions.
Therefore, when fighting against the Cavaliers, Wang Meng unceremoniously taught the young guard of the Cavaliers, Kyrie Irving, a hard lesson.
When the whole team was very tired, Wang Meng single-handedly provoked the offensive firepower of the entire team. 8 of 14 three-point shots, 9 of 13 two-point shots, 8 of 10 free throws, 50 points for the second time in his career, Wang Meng's assists in this game did not go to a double, only 3, all the heart and eye skills in the whole game were all used by Wang Meng to find opponents' defensive gaps to break through the score.
The knight undoubtedly lost to Wang Meng's fifty points.
The Hornets have won two of their three games, and the players are relieved that they can finally get a good rest.
After the trade, the Hornets' record has skyrocketed, and the ranking in the West has also risen to fourth, and the first place in the West is still the old carriage of the Spurs, since Duncan entered the league, the Spurs have won more than 50 consecutive years for n years, and have never stopped. The second is the Youth Army Thunder, the third is the Lakers of the luxury triumvirate, the fourth is the Hornets, who have risen in a straight line, and the fifth Grizzlies have the same record as the Hornets, but they are ranked below the Hornets because of the difference in wins.
The first place in the East is the Bulls led by Rose, the second is the Heat, the third is the Pacers, the fourth is the Hawks, and the fifth is the Celtics.
In the new round of power rankings, the Hornets have also risen to sixth place in the league, with only the Heat in first place, the Lakers in second place, the Thunder in third place, the Spurs in fourth place and the Bulls in fifth place in front of him.
After the game, Monty also saw that the players were tired, so he generously announced a holiday, which was always after the All-Star Weekend, which means that the Hornets players, especially those who had nothing to do with the All-Star Weekend, had a five-day vacation.
Everyone knows that this is the last break before the final sprint for a playoff spot, so everyone cherishes this opportunity to rest, Monty has just announced Jay, and everyone has run away without a trace.
Gasol shouted all the way that he wanted to go to Orlando for two days of rest, and then prepare for the All-Star Weekend, and he himself knew that as an interior or a substitute insider, he didn't have any tasks during the All-Star Weekend, because most of the All-Star Weekend belonged to forwards and guards, and when it was their turn to play a wonderful performance, guards and forwards were far more exciting than inside, and his playing time would not be too much.
And Oden and others are discussing with great interest to go to Miami for two days, they are different from Wang Meng Gasol, it is not good, the All-Star Weekend has nothing to do with them, they go just to be spectators, especially Oden, went to watch Durant start in the All-Star Game, must have a stomachache, so this girl simply did not plan to go to Orlando.
The players all want to rest, Wang Meng is naturally no exception, he has long been thinking about what to do in the past two days, he has the task of starting the All-Star Game, naturally he will not be so relaxed as Oden, but when the All-Star Weekend has not yet started, he can relax and relax.
As soon as he thought of relaxing, Wang Meng immediately thought of making a phone call to Taylor.
"Ah, that's it, I've had an activity these days, and I really can't get out of it." Hearing what Wang Meng meant, Taylor was surprised at first, and then said in embarrassment.
"Forget it." Wang Meng smiled and said, "I'll take a look at where to go by myself." ”
"I'm really embarrassed, don't worry, I'll go back and cheer you on during All-Star Weekend." Taylor said.
Hanging up the phone, Wang Meng was a little disappointed, sat at home bored, turned on the TV and watched. "Otherwise, I'll sleep at home for the next two days, right?"
As soon as this thought came to mind, Wang Meng's phone suddenly rang.
"Handsome guy? I heard that you have been fine for the past two days, and you are lonely and need someone to accompany you, right? Listening to this bold and generous voice on the phone, Wang Meng didn't have to think about it, this was definitely Lis.
"How do you know I'm okay for the past two days?" Wang Mengqi said.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? The old lady is the general manager of the team. Liz said unceremoniously: "At the same time, I also serve as Taylor's best friend, of course I know that you have a holiday today, and I also know that Taylor has received an advertisement and is filming an advertisement." ”
"Okay." Wang Meng wiped the sweat on his head, but he didn't expect to forget about this stubble. "What's the matter with me?"
"Of course it's a good thing." Liz said, "How's that?" Boring people? Are you interested in going out with the little girl and me for a small date? ”
"Dating?" Wang Meng smiled dumbly, "Aren't you afraid that Taylor knows?" ”
"Afraid of hair? I called Taylor just now, and it's been approved, wait......." Liz paused suddenly, "You just said that you weren't afraid of Taylor knowing, not afraid of you telling Taylor, good guy, you don't seem to be going to tell Taylor at all." ”
"Rub! Misspoken! Wang Meng was sweating profusely.
