Chapter 251: Time is unforgiving, friends come and go! (Kneel down at the end of the month and beg for a monthly pass!) )
In November, in the absence of Paul, the Hornets were beaten by the opponent in the away game against the Heat on the 17th.
Over the years, as soon as he played the team led by Wang Shuo, Anthony would be extraordinarily energetic.
According to ESPN statistics, in the past five years with Wang Shuo, Anthony has averaged 30.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
On the Internet, some Heat fans even complained about this, if Anthony can have such a state in every game, then even the peak Jordan can only exchange one with him.
In this game against the Hornets, Anthony unsurprisingly ushered in another big outburst.
In the game, facing Leonard, Butler, and Klay sent by the Hornets in turn......
Holding Fang Tian's halberd, Anthony, who rode on the red rabbit horse, was stunned and killed seven in and seven out in the hinterland of the wasp.
In the game, Anthony shot 18-of-31, including 5-of-12 three-pointers and 9-of-10 free throws, totaling 50 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists for the Heat.
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo was helpless about Anthony's outburst in this game.
Because a player like Anthony, how can he reason with you when he doesn't want to reason with you?
In this life, although Wang Shuo only instructed Anthony when he was coaching the U.S. men's basketball team, Anthony's fate was indeed quietly changed by Wang Shuo.
Not only did he maintain a certain amount of mobility on the court, but the change in shooting structure also made Anthony a more efficient singles player on the court.
In addition, after noticing that the good brothers' hands were hot in this game, Wade also wholeheartedly focused on how to defend Curry.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, as a long-underrated outside defender, Wade has always had a very strong individual defensive ability.
On this night, because Anthony's firepower was too terrifying, Wade, who didn't have to take care of offense, successfully incarnated Curry into his big brother Kobe. (Bryant:?) )
In the whole game, Curry, who was entangled by Wade, only made 5 of 19 shots, including 2 of 9 three-point shots, and only saved face with 12 of 12 free throws.
After the game, Kuhei once again ushered in the climax.
Because in the eyes of Kuhei, no matter how many games Curry uses to prove how efficient he really is, he is also a seriously overrated outside star.
"As long as you can't shoot three points, Curry is completely negative on the court!"
"The NBA is still the world of those swing guards, and Curry can play famously, but it just depends on the league's hard support!"
In the NBA, "one game" is always a repertoire for a popular team and a popular star after they win or lose.
Wang Shuo knows very well that even Curry can't be on the spot.
Therefore, he is unlikely to take Curry's occasional iron game or two to heart.
And, in order to wear the crown, Curry also has to learn to withstand pressure from the outside.
……
On the 18th, the Hornets, who suffered their first defeat of the season in Miami the night before, returned home to face the Celtics back-to-back.
In front of his hometown fathers, Curry, who was eager to rebound strongly, gave everyone a hard job as soon as he came up.
In the first quarter of the game, he lost all seven shots, and he was so tough that Wang Shuo even wondered if he had been rewarded by Ayesha recently.
In this game against the Celtics, Curry still had a bad hand, but James, who was born in Akron like him, successfully seized the opportunity.
James, who shot 14-of-25, 1-of-5 from three-point range and 3-of-6 from the free-throw line, scored 32 points, nine rebounds and seven assists for the Celtics.
No blowing, no black, James did his best in this game.
However, it is regrettable......
On this night, neither he nor Curry was the main character.
Because after being cut by Anthony in the last game, Leonard, who vowed to prove himself to the world, ushered in a big explosion in this game.
Throughout the game, Leonard, who played the Celtics forward circle, was like Jordan playing on his behalf.
In the game, he shot 17-of-23, 1-of-3 from three-point range and 8-of-8 from the free-throw line for the Hornets, totaling 43 points, seven rebounds and three assists.
And, it is worth mentioning that this game is also the first time in Leonard's career that he has cut "40+".
After the game, in an interview, Jordan personally put on the crown for Leonard and said: "Those goals he hit on the court prove that I still have successors in this league!" ”
In Wang Shuo's previous life, he was nicknamed "the card frame version of Jordan" by fans, which is enough to show Leonard's strength.
Although, throughout Leonard's career, his average points per game per season is not outstanding.
But the more pivotal the game, the more you'll realize how important Leonard's ability to consistently score on the pitch is to a team.
In the end, with Leonard's explosion in this game, especially his performance of 18 points in the final quarter......
The Hornets managed to avoid a losing streak with a win at home.
And the Celtics......
Despite not leading the team to an away win and scoring only four points against the Celtics in the final quarter, James, who was flawed and sharp, was once again determined to flee Boston after this night.
This season, so far, the Celtics are only 10th in the East.
If it weren't for the NBA's official introduction of the playoff system this summer, Celtics fans would even doubt that the Horford team, which will not be able to return until at least next February, would be able to make the playoffs.
Without Horford, the Celtics' interior strength has been severely damaged.
In addition, as the years have passed, Pierce is now not as good as he used to be in deciding the outcome of the game.
James, who has always been quick-witted, knows that there is no way to stay with the Celtics.
James intends to opt out of his final year with the Celtics after next summer and choose a team with a promising future as his next home.
Perhaps, at this moment, no one in this world believes that he can be crowned in the future.
But James remained convinced......
If even Paul could turn over, why couldn't he?
……
On the 21st, after a two-day break, the Hornets officially started the team's first wave of the Western Conference tour of the year.
That night, in Phoenix, the Hornets defeated Wang Shuo's old club, the Suns, with a score of 135-110.
In this game, after two consecutive games of silence, if Curry, the backcourt combination of Beal and Irving, still can't rebound strongly, then Wang Shuo may really doubt his life.
Fortunately, Curry didn't give Wang Shuo a chance to doubt his life.
In the game, Curry shot 14-of-20, including 8-of-10 three-pointers and 10-of-10 free throws, in Phoenix with a 46-point scoring feast in the third quarter, successfully turning the Suns into the home of the Hornets on this night.
Over the years, due to the poor record of the home team, Suns fans have already started a collective swing.
Anyway, it doesn't matter which team comes to Phoenix as a guest, as long as they play well, it will be their home team in the eyes of Suns fans.
This season, the Suns, who have won two championships and one list in three years, have rushed directly to the bottom of the West after the start of the regular season, as Wang Shuo had expected.
As an extremely efficient singlesman, Irving's style of play dictates that he is destined to play the role of an output second-in-command on the court.
And Bill is even less to say......
Even after completing the training in the future, he is not the kind of player who is good at leading the team.
Fortunately, the favorable environment of the sun provides a good space for the growth of the "alphabet brother" they just selected this summer.
Because the team has no record pressure, and he is a young player that Wang Shuo is optimistic about, "Brother Alphabet" not only got more playing time in his rookie season than Wang Shuo remembers, but at the same time, the Sun also showed extraordinary patience in him.
In fact, at the beginning of his career, Brother Alphabet's shortcomings were very obvious.
Because of his lack of confrontation ability, Wang Shuo remembers that he has been able to give full play to his model advantages on the field by getting the third season of Brother Alphabet's career.
In addition, his position in the NBA during this period was also awkward.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, because his height continued to grow to "211" cm in the future, even if his projection ability was mediocre, Brother Alphabet could turn over the river and the sea on the inside.
But at this moment, he is only more than 203 centimeters tall......
Therefore, such a height also determines that it will not be very comfortable to play the third or fourth position at the moment.
Playing the No. 3 position, he can only watch the play on the court most of the time without projection ability.
can play the No. 4 position, and his confrontation ability and height are not enough to compete.
Tell the truth.
If it weren't for the fact that he was favored by Wang Shuo before he ran for the election, then based on his performance so far......
He has long been named the "champion of parallel goods".
On the 23rd, after beating the Suns, the Hornets defeated the Spurs 124-101 in San Antonio.
This season, Lefou's form is still brave.
As of the start of the game against the Hornets, Love was averaging 25.8 points and 17.4 rebounds per game for the Spurs this season.
As a humanoid double "20+" machine, Lefu will cut down the double "20+" in the competition at every turn over the years, and its personal data is even better than the same period in Wang Shuo's memory.
As for the reason......
Because, of course, after losing Duncan, Popovich has been "getting revenge" on Duncan through his means.
Because he knows that it is difficult for the Spurs to hit the championship again, in the past two years, in addition to positioning the team to keep the playoff spot, Popovich's biggest fun is to help Lefu brush up on statistics in the game.
Take, for example, this Hornets vs. Spurs game......
Although the Spurs lost, Popovich didn't care at all.
Because of this game, Love scored a total of 24 points and added 21 rebounds.
In order to help Love brush up his stats on the court, all of the Spurs' players will help Love in the game.
This season, Larry Sanders, with whom the Spurs signed an early extension on a four-year, $40 million contract just this summer, averaged 7.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game under Popovich's tactical tilt.
If you don't watch the Spurs game, you would think that Sanders is an interior player who can't rebound.
But in fact, before he faded out of the NBA as a poet, Sanders was known for being good at fighting for rebounds and blocks.
I have to say that Popovich in this life has been completely stunned.
However, for Lefu personally, he is likely to benefit from this.
After all, no matter what era it is, you can't deny the gold content of Excel.
On the 24th, the Hornets challenged the Mavericks back-to-back.
As one of the few head coaches in the NBA who is recognized as one of the few in the NBA in the early days of Wang Shuo's career, Carlisle has had a somewhat unsatisfactory life over the years since he led the Mavericks to realize his dream.
This season, the Mavericks, like Wang Shuo's memory, successfully recruited Carter to join in the summer.
But at this moment, Carter is no longer the demigod who dominated the alliance back then.
With the disintegration of that year's championship-winning roster and Dallas' difficulty in recruiting a strong player for Nowitzki in the free agent market......
At this moment, Carlisle has fallen into the dilemma of a clever woman who has no rice to cook.
According to ESPN's relevant technical statistics, this season, the Mavericks, who can only use Sean Larkin, a player whose name Wang Shuo has not even heard of, as the main point guard, can be described as a low success rate in tactical launches.
Wang Shuo knows very well that this is not because of Carlisle's coaching ability......
It's just that now this Maverick team can't play too high-end tactics.
On the evening of the 24th, the Hornets defeated the Mavericks on the road without much effort.
And after this game, Carlisle also felt that it was time for him to say goodbye to Dallas.
Because as one of the few head coaches in the NBA who can fight with Wang Shuo on the court, many relatives and friends around Carlisle have recently persuaded him to leave Dallas and start a new business.
In this life, if it weren't for Wang Shuo, Carlisle might have stayed in Dallas as the Mavericks' meritorious coach.
But when Wang Shuo has made it clear to the public that his coaching career has entered the countdown, Carlisle hopes that he can seize the opportunity before Wang Shuo's retirement and play with him on the field again.
Just like when Jordan just announced his comeback......
There was a group of stunned young people who rushed to join the league to catch up with Jordan's career before the end of his career......
As the apex of the NBA coach, Wang Shuo's peers also have many people who want to compete with him.
For example, on the 26th, in order to ensure that the team could face the Hornets in the best condition, he even did not hesitate to rest all the team's main players the night before.
In Oklahoma, the Hornets were hit head-on by the Thunder, who finished runner-up in the NBA last season.
The Thunder, who finished their battle, showed the attitude of playing in the finals to play against the Hornets this time.
As a result, after the start of the game, the players in the Hornets team were clearly not comfortable with the rhythm of the game.
This season, the Thunder, who traded with the Lakers in the summer, have successfully strengthened their bench roster.
The addition of Thomas Jr. has greatly improved their bench problem.
In addition, Jordan Jr., who has been playing as a substitute in Los Angeles, has also cashed in on his talent in Oh City, averaging 11.4 points and 13.8 rebounds per game for the Thunder this season.
Although compared to last season, the Thunder have less Ibaka's interior clearance......
But with Dragic, Rose, and Durant on the outside, Jordan Jr., who can eat steadily on the inside, is more suitable for them.
In this game, the Thunder, who had a more balanced offense and defense, dominated from the beginning of the game and managed to lead to the end.
In the regular season, Wang Shuo didn't expect that a team would be so desperate to win against the Hornets, so despite losing on the road, Wang Shuo didn't take the loss of the game to heart.
It's just that in his own small notebook, Wang Shuo still made a note for Stevens.
As we all know, Wang Shuo will never wait for ten years for revenge.
On this night, after being bullied by the Thunder away from home, Wang Shuo immediately made up his mind that the next time the Thunder visited Charlotte, he must give this Thunder a wave of intensity.
Isn't it the intensity of the finals?
Scold!
It's as if only the Thunder are the team competing for the championship!
On the 28th, after setting a record for the biggest loss in the history of the Kings at 141-74 on the road, the Hornets ended their first Western road trip of the year in the regular season with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss.
And on the 30th, the Hornets, who returned to the East, defeated the Pacers 114-109 on the road.
In this game against the Pacers, Mike Conley once again proved that he can go all the way with any super guard.
In the game, Curry scored a total of 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists for the Hornets.
Conley, on the other hand, had 27 points, four rebounds and eight assists for the Pacers.
In the game, when Curry was completed by Conley, the key to the Hornets' victory was that Leonard and Butler teamed up to suppress Granger and George.
In addition, this season's average data per game has dropped to 16.4 points plus 7.1 rebounds, and Xiao Si has also become an undercover agent on the Pacers' side.
On 4-of-13 shooting, he not only missed two key offenses in a row in the final quarter, but also helped Jefferson finish the game for the Hornets on the defensive end.
In the NBA, the years are really unforgiving.
This night, recalling the Xiao Si who was on the field ten years ago, Wang Shuo found out in a trance at this moment......
It turned out that he was a bad old man who was almost forty years old.
That's the NBA......
Friends come and go.
Only the flag of the championship is fluttering in the wind!
