187 Fisherman Nix
Of course, Chen Ming is not the only domestic fan who pays attention to Wang Xiaomu. And there are many fans of the Magic team in China, because the time of the Knicks vs. Magic game is not appropriate, Chen Xin got up early in the morning, opened his mobile phone, looked at the score of 108:86, and thought: Well, Magic is amazing, worthy of being the top four teams in the East, and it is indeed the nemesis of the Knicks. Take a closer look, huh? Isn't that right? It was Nick who won! Magic still didn't make the news.
And the Knicks fans saw the score and shouted one after another, so I grabbed it, quickly got up and watched the video, and giggled while watching. Why do you have to giggle, because the thought of the magic collapse in the back makes me happy. The Knicks, under the leadership of Wang Xiaomu this time, can be counted out as having a bad breath.
Heading into April, the Knicks are still unstoppable. They easily won the weak Cavaliers at home, and the Knicks' main players talked and laughed about the Cavaliers who lacked Kyrie Irving.
The Knicks are on a three-game winning streak at home against the Cavaliers, who were able to leave Madison Square Garden with a win between Dec. 19, 2007 and April 3, and the two teams will meet again on April 20 in Cleveland...... The two sides scored a total of 166 points, and many gambling companies generally predicted that the total score of the two sides would be around 192 points before the game, and the scoring ability of both teams in this game was overestimated by the bookmakers.
Speaking of Bo-Cai Company, now basically no Knicks win or loss handicap is opened, only handicap or over/under points. Even the wins and losses of a single quarter or two halves are rarely involved, the Knicks' recent form is too hot, and the players are like iron one by one, and there are no injuries to worry about. How does this break the other teams?
In the battle against the Cavaliers, the substitute Novak scored the highest score on the team. That excited Novak, and in his post-game interview, he excitedly said that he was made to attack: "We need to play offensive basketball. We need to find good shots in attack and play defensively. That's pretty much all you can do. ”
In the game of the day, there was another game that attracted the attention of many fans. The Lakers, who suffered consecutive defeats at home, faced the challenge of the Hornets today, and Kobe Bryant had a very poor hand throughout the game, hitting none of his first 15 shots. But he hit a crucial three-pointer in the final 20 seconds to put the Lakers up 88-85.
Before the game, Kobe Bryant met with the 105-year-old Lakers fans, and she was invited by the Lakers to watch the game.
The old lady watched Russell or Chamberlain play, and she didn't shy away from saying to Kobe, "You have to play better." ”
Here's another interesting record: from January 17, 2004, this is the first time the Lakers have played a home game over the weekend during the regular season......
Of course, no one will talk about the bad first three quarters in the future, and everyone will only remember the fatal three-point that saved the team at the end.
On April 2 and 3, the Knicks won a long-lost break. On the 4th, they are going to take on the Pacers on the road.
There are only 13 games left in the league's regular season, and the coaching teams of all teams are very nervous at the moment calculating their opponents, and the playoffs are a hard-fought battle, and many players tend to explode with incredible fighting power, so they need a report on the strength of every player in the opponent.
When Woodson informed Wang Xiaomu of the lack of manpower. Coach Wang directly sent his butler Ronaldo to Woodson as an assistant.
Soon, Coach Wu Da discovered that there was a genius who mastered data analysis around him.
"We must leave Ronaldo behind! Together, we proposed to the board that we could give him the highest analyst salary in the league. Woodson holds the thick data report in his hand. I can't wait to stand on Wang Xiaomu's desk to express my desire.
"Alright, old Wu, it's good to have this season's data. Ronaldo has his own business. Wang Xiaomu looked at the expressionless Ronaldo behind Woodson, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. This guy must have taken the analysis report of the gambling house directly, you must know that people play professionally.
Because of the need to pay attention to the playoff matchups, the top teams in the Eastern Conference are within the scope of the Knicks coaching staff, and all the Eastern giants who have a war on April 2 are sunk.
On the Bulls' side, Derrick Rose continued to miss the game due to injury, which also made this East-West No. 1 powerhouse conversation a lot of overshadowing, and the bloodless Thunder did not give the Bulls a chance, and they played 31-12 in the third quarter to turn the fourth quarter into garbage time. In the end, they won 92-78. The Thunder duo played well, scoring 53 points in the third quarter, with Russell Westbrook scoring a game-high 27 points.
After the game. Bulls coach Thibodeau explained with a tongue twister: "We had problems at the beginning of the game, we found problems at the end of the first quarter, we had problems at the end of the second quarter, we still had problems at the beginning of the third quarter, and against such a quality team, we were knocked down by our own problems. ”
The Heat, who were originally ranked second in the East, overturned in the gutter in this game and gave up the second place to the Knicks.
The Celtics, whose main point guard Rajon Rondo recorded a luxurious triple-double of 16 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists, led the Celtics to tear apart the opponent's defense again and again, and the Heat's shooting percentage hovered around 30% throughout the game, and finally the Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 91-72. Rondo has a double-double in assists for the 13th consecutive game, the longest in the league since Nash, who had double-doubles in assists in 14 consecutive games in March-April 2005.
Of course, James is also a statistician, he has scored in double figures in 407 consecutive games, and he also has one statistic that is particularly dazzling tonight: zero assists in the whole game.
The fourth-ranked Magic also put down their catch-up, with Howard missing for the first time of the season after spraining his back in the last game against the waist. The Nuggets used slam dunks to bully the interior without Warcraft. Historically, Magic April Fools' Day has a 5-11 record, with only one home win......
The Nuggets, on the other hand, are insiders this season, with a 15-2 record against Eastern teams.
After the game, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said that Howard's absence had a fundamental impact on the quality of the Magic's defense, "You watched them score, we couldn't stop them, it was a very frustrating night, I kept saying that we needed to defend better, we had a leaky defense today. ”
In addition, not bad news, the Knicks' next opponent, the Pacers, had two free throws from Dragic to send the game into overtime and beat the Rockets in overtime, and the team's morale was high.
On April 3, the resting Knicks received another piece of good news: "The Bulls lost again." ”
The Bulls at home had 19 turnovers in a single game, including 10 steals by the Rockets, who were also back-to-back. This is the first time the Bulls have suffered a losing streak since Feb. 7, 2011, and their record of 86 games without a loss streak has since been set to an end, the second-longest in NBA history.
Bulls head coach Thibodeau was annoyed after the loss: "We lost the last two games because of mistakes, you must know that Rockets guard Lowry missed 14 games because of a bacterial infection, Kevin Martin missed 11 games in a row because of a shoulder injury, and we almost lost to half a team. ”
The Bulls' 42-win streak means that the Knicks have narrowed the gap to the top of the standings. The Knicks currently sit in second place in the East with a 37-win streak ahead of the Heat, which means the Bulls must lose more than seven games if they have to continue their winning streak in the next 13 games.
Logically speaking, this is basically only a theoretical possibility, but what excites fans is that on April 9 and April 11, the Knicks will play the Bulls twice, and if they can win these two key games, there is a real possibility that they can catch up with the Bulls.
With the end of this week's games, the NBA's weekly power list is released. The Knicks, who have won 31 games in a row, undoubtedly occupy the top spot, the Thunder with three wins, the Bulls with two wins and two losses, and the Spurs with three wins are in 2-4 places, followed by the Heat and Lakers.
Interestingly, Kobe Bryant can almost certainly surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar this season - not in total points, but in total iron counts. Bryant shot 38.7 percent from the field in March, including a game that was "as rare as 81 points" in the first three quarters of 15-of-0 shooting.
The only thing that can match the Knicks this week is the Thunder. As one of the key battles in the West this week, the Thunder's away game against the Lakers is the most interesting, and the two teams that hope to win the Western Conference championship have tried all kinds of brain-dead mistakes on the court, unbelievable shooting options, and shocking tactical runs, which are breathtaking. Maybe it's a shrinking season, and you can't be too demanding of the content of the game when training is almost canceled.
The battle for the best coach in March, which fans are most concerned about, has also come to an end.
The league today announced the results of the March Coach of the Year awards. The best coach in the East was produced between Knicks head coach Wang Xiaomu and Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau, and the results speak for themselves, although Thibodeau's Bulls had a 13-3 record in March, including a six-game winning streak on the road, the Knicks' all-win record was as glaring as a nuclear bomb explosion, and if this did not win the best coach again, the award should be canceled.
And in the West, Spurs head coach Greg **vic. Vicky's Spurs were 12-3 in March.
