Chapter 365 [The media is looking down and chasing the Nets]
On the 5th, the Wizards defeated the Clippers back-to-back, and on the 7th, they easily defeated the Bucks at home. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Carter called Yang Rui and said that he had figured it out and would stay with the Raptors.
It was a smart choice, he won two championships for the team, and if he had started from the beginning, he would have become a legend for the team if he had retired his jersey with the Raptors in the future.
Yang Rui's words made Carter dismiss the idea of going to other teams, and he remembered Marcus Camby and Damon Stoudeyer, who was not confident of winning championships unless he played under Yang Rui, and he was not a self-righteous person.
On the 9th, the Wizards defeated the Knicks 107-96 on the road.
The Knicks are very inconsistent and can win against the top teams and lose to the underdogs. The Star's record began to decline after the break, as small forward Grant Hill suffered a serious ankle injury and was again out for the season and was ready to undergo surgery.
Yang Rui arranged for Jordan to play 43 minutes, shooting 13-of-22, 1-of-2 three-pointers, and 13-of-15 free throws, scoring 40 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.
Yao Ming played 22 minutes in this game, got 4 points and 9 rebounds, and without Hill, he was still responsible for covering and rarely received the ball back.
Larry Brown, a stubborn old man, without Hill, let the "madman" Sprewell be the core of the team, and the statistics are good, averaging 17.5 points, 4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.
The "madman" shot only 40.3% from the field, 37.2% from three-point range, and Yao Ming shot 51.2% from the field and didn't have a chance to shoot.
Manager Scott Rearden communicated with Brown several times, hoping that Brown would reuse Yao's name to attract Chinese fans and develop the Chinese market. He signed a contract with the Knicks until 2004, and owner James Dolan was already very dissatisfied with him, and Redden wanted to rely on Yao Ming's turn this season.
However, Brown arranged his tactics according to his own ideas, and then let Yao Ming adapt to him and use him as a blue-collar worker. At the press conference, Brown also said that he hopes Yao Ming can become the Mutombo of the Knicks.
Mutombo, your sister, the Chinese media have expressed their dissatisfaction with Brown.
"Yao Ming doesn't only defend, shoot under the basket, he shoots accurately, can Mutombo shoot?"
"Even if you're looking for a template, it's going to have to be Ilgoskas. Is Brown bad with Iverson in the 76ers? Why do you have to come to the Knicks to scourge Yao Ming. ”
"It is recommended that Yao Ming propose a transfer, even if he goes to a weak team, he can't stay in the Knicks, playing under Brown, he can't become a star."
If they knew what happened to Yang Rui in his previous life, Milicic, they wouldn't have thought it was strange. At the time of the draft, Milicic was modeled by Garnett and Nowitzki, and then he was groomed by Brown to be a fringe man, and after retiring from the NBA, he switched to free shooting and became a standout ...... Move sandbags.
The only thing that made the Chinese fans happy was when "Big Mouth" Barkley commented on the game when he said that if Yao Ming could score 19 points, he would kiss Kenny Smith's ass on the spot.
As a result, Yao Ming had a hot hand, and after playing 22 minutes, he shot 8 of 9, plus free throws to score 20 points and 7 rebounds. Smith found a donkey to replace him, and Barkley did what he said, kissing the donkey's buttocks, and saying that it was much more fragrant than Smith's.
The Wizards won several games in a row, losing to the Suns on March 21. 89 to 109.
At present, O'Neal Jr.'s strength is better than that of Stadamire, the two also have excellent physical fitness, O'Neal Jr.'s skills can be inside and out, Xiao Si is only good at face frame attack, and only the middle of the shot is more accurate.
O'Neal Jr. received the ball in the low post and singled out Xiao Si with his back, turned around several times and burst into the basket to score, and also caused Xiao Si to fall into foul trouble. O'Neal Jr. will cooperate with the footsteps to feint and sway under the basket, while Xiao Si's defense is all about his body, his consciousness is not good, and he is easy to be deceived into making fouls.
Boozer and Leitner also struggled to defend O'Neal Jr., and the disadvantage of this position made it difficult for the Wizards to win.
Marion did a good job of defending Jordan at the All-Star Game, with his long arm span and quick movement, even if Jordan used a step-back jumper he could block.
Marbury is the core of the Suns' outside offense, one-on-one heads-up, and Wesley and Alston can't defend it. The Wizards' joint defense can't limit the Suns' offense, Marbury can break through with blocking and dismantling, attracting the bag and clipping, and there is no shortage of pitchers on the perimeter. Marion, Joe Johnson, and Kathy Jacobson can all shoot three-pointers.
The sun is affected by the butterfly effect and becomes stronger in advance. Suns management doesn't know if they'll send Marbury away next season.
On the 23rd, the Wizards played an overtime away and lost to the Warriors 117-123, and were swept 2-0 in the regular season.
It's not an upset, and the Warriors roster is keeping the Wizards in check. If both sides play fast break, the Warriors are no worse than the Wizards, and the players are all masters of chaos.
Jordan recorded a quasi-triple-double of 30 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
The Wizards' top scorer, Stadamire, scored 40 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, setting a career-high score.
Even so, the Wizards still lost, and the Warriors went even more furious on the offense. Arenas finished with 41 points, six rebounds and five assists on 15-of-23 shooting, 4-of-8 three-pointers and 7-of-9 free throws.
Jamison finished with 37 points, 11 rebounds and three assists on 14-of-24 shooting, 4-of-6 three-pointers and 5-of-7 free throws.
At the same time that Smalls beat Troy Murphy, Jamison also blew up Marshall. Arenas relied on his height advantage to make a stop-and-go jump shot, and no one could prevent it from having a convulsion.
Dunk king Jason Richardson scored just as many points, but he played an equally critical role, with Hamilton scoring just 12 points. He's very active in chasing off the ball.
However, the Warriors only played well occasionally, and their record this season was embarrassing, and they couldn't make the playoffs, and they didn't mess up.
Teams with salary space are all targeting Arenas, who is a restricted free agent and offers high salaries in the summer, and the Warriors can't match it at all, so they can only let it go.
Midway through the season, the Warriors tried to make a trade to send away Bob Sula to clear salary space, but failed.
After this loss, the media looked down on the Wizards by a few points, as they were at the top of the Eastern Conference but had a poor record against the teams in the upper West. None of the top six teams in the West seem to have a chance of winning, and the chances of winning the title this season are very slim.
On the 28th, the Wizards lost 97-108 to the Lakers, who played with the strongest lineup.
In this game, Bryant had a convulsion, shooting 15 of 29, 9 of 13 three-pointers, and 16 of 18 free throws, scoring 55 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.
Far away from Kobe, he directly pulled out the jump shot, the distance was close, he broke through with the ball, the first step was extremely fast, he jumped under the basket and jumped up the lever, he could make feints in the air to avoid the block, looking for space to shoot or pass, and Kobe Bryant would also hit people and cheat fouls.
Yang Rui had already tried his best to change a few people to defend it, but he still couldn't prevent it. Kobe Bryant can hit 30 irons a game when he is not in good shape, and he can shoot 12 three-pointers a game to set a record when he is in good shape, he is such an amazing player.
This season, Kobe Bryant proved himself to be a super scorer, and once he has a convulsion, he is as unstoppable as a god. Yang Rui didn't let Jordan and him play against him, and now Jordan will definitely lose when he goes head-to-head with Kobe, and he can't keep up with the speed.
After O'Neal's return, the Lakers' record has risen steadily, and after this game, they are 38-34 and back to the playoffs.
The Wizards beat the Nuggets at the end of the month, 51-22, the same record as the Bulls, and continue to chase the 53-20 Nets.
