As soon as the league's trade deadline passed, most of the teams were settled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
For a lot of players, the job is too uncertain and no one likes to toss around unless they're really disappointed in one place.
Yang Di now also believes that in such an alliance.
There will always be two kinds of people, traditional athletes who are hungry for more victories and filled with dreams and competitive sportsmanship, and those who are eager to earn more money just as a job or a means of survival.
Yang Di feels like he's doing both, and now he's stable at sixth or seventh in the rookie rankings, and his goal is to improve his overall ability rating to an A grade after the end of the season.
In the West, after Yao Ming knocked the Lakers, he led the Rockets to defeat the Timberwolves, the top in the West, again, and it is commendable that this time it was still away, Yao Ming scored 27 points and 6 rebounds, and his skills were astonishing. Then he returned to his home court the next day and defeated the Mavericks, a strong opponent in the same division, Yao Ming had 29 points and 10 rebounds.
So, after this week, Yao Ming averaged 29.7 points and 8 rebounds per game, and won the first Western Conference Player of the Week in his career.
"Congratulations." Yang Di was happy for Yao Ming from the bottom of his heart, and in the second year of his career, Yao Ming gradually showed the color of a super center, and the Yao Shark duel became a landscape for publicity and packaging in the league.
"You're great too." Yao Ming is always very humble, and Yang Di also has a good performance on the East Coast, averaging more than 7 rebounds per game, and he has played less than 20 minutes, which can be called the rebounding monster of the new generation in his rookie season.
And recently, Yang Di's offensive end has gradually found a feeling, and his average points per game have slowly improved.
On March 9, the Heat defeated the visiting Magic team at home, and after this game, the Magic team was 18-48 and ranked first in the East.
The Heat also have a game the next day, traveling to New Orleans to play against the Hornets.
And on this day, the Magic faced the Wizards back-to-back home games, Tracy McGrady against Wizards General Arenas.
Maddie scored a career-high 62 points and single-handedly took the Wizards away.
Maddie only scored 2 points in the final five minutes, and with the win in hand, he didn't score points on the court, which was a record night for him, and if he wanted to, he could have scored more than 70 points in a single game, or even higher.
Yang Di later learned that Maddie had scored such a terrifying score, which was something he couldn't even imagine.
The last time he scored 26 points, he already felt that he got enough opportunities in the whole game, but what is the situation of these 62 points, is it possible that he is in control of the whole offense?
In fact, Arenas also performed well in this game, scoring 40 points, but compared with Maddie's anti-sky performance, it was instantly overshadowed.
Maddie increased her average points per game by nearly one point in this game alone, and instantly opened up the scoring gap with Peja, Garnett, Kobe and others.
It is worth mentioning that this year's scoring list is also a new low in recent years, in addition to Maddy, Garnett, Kobe Bryant and other scoring masters are averaging about 24 points per game, most teams in the league are very slow to play the pace, and most coaches like to focus on positional battles.
After three days and two ends, Yang Di returned to Miami.
At this time, Nancy received an assignment from the company to go to New York to shoot a new work, and Tang Xinran also told Yang Di that he had been busy writing a new report about the Heat and him recently, which was very long and overtime.
"On April 9th, the comedy film "Magic Cinderella" that I shot before will be released." Anne and Yang Di shared what happened to her work.
"Isn't it "The Princess Diaries 2"?" Yang Di remembers very clearly the name of the movie that Anne has been busy shooting not long ago.
"No, "Princess Diaries 2" is a movie that has just been completed, how can it be released so soon. I don't think it will be released until the second half of the year. "Enchanted Cinderella" is a movie that I made the year before last, and it has not been scheduled to be released until now. ā
"Why did you have to wait in line for so long?" Yang Di was a little surprised.
"That's right."
"And what's next for you?" Yang Di asked casually.
He just asked casually, but Anne Hathaway suddenly became a little distracted as if she had thought of something.
"What's wrong?" Yang Di thought that Anne had not yet been invited to make an appointment, so she was a little sorry and was ready to say something to comfort her.
Anne's face was a little strange, and she shook her head: "It's nothing. ā
Yang Di didn't think about it either, and then continued to ask Anne about other things, "By the way, didn't you say before that your sister wanted to see me?" Chicago? The away game against the Chicago Bulls is in the late part of the year, do you have time? We'll go together when the time comes. ā
"No, I don't need to see you now, my sister has other things to do, so it doesn't matter anymore." Anne shook her head and denied Yang Di's proposal.
"Oh? That's right. Yang Di shrugged, he didn't care, but what Anne said at the beginning was so important, and he had always taken it to heart, and when he saw that Anne was on vacation, he deliberately mentioned it to her.
......
After a season of slow recovery, Caron Butler has recently returned to form, averaging more than 15 points per game in the past month.
The Heat won consecutive battles, and their record caught up with the Nets.
By late February, the East-West landscape had become clear, especially in the East, with the Pacers and Pistons in the first group, the Nets and Heat in the second group, and the remaining playoff contention teams, with the Hornets and Bucks leading the way, while the other Knicks, Cavaliers, Celtics, 76ers and Raptors all have a chance to compete for tickets.
In the West, the Timberwolves, Lakers, Spurs and Kings are indistinguishable, followed by teams built by new cores such as the Nuggets and Rockets.
So in this situation, Wade's call for winning the best rookie is also very high, not under James and Anthony.
On March 29, the penultimate game before April, the Heat came to Chicago, which was also the first time that Yang Di returned to the city since leaving Chicago last year.
Finney knew that Yang Di was coming, and he had already shouted to invite Yang Di to dinner and drink.
Yang Di pulls Wade and Odom, and the three of them go to one of Finney's rundown little bars, and then they happen to meet Uncle William, who had previously worked in the villa he managed.
"I really didn't expect you to have this thing, so you're really a chef?"
"It's like a fake!" Yang Di said, "When I have money, I want to open an authentic Chinese restaurant by myself, and then every once in a while I will launch the dishes of my own chef, which will definitely be very profitable." ā
Wade, Odom, and Finney nodded in unison, "That's a good idea, it's a good idea to make money." ā
