Chapter 622 The end of the regular season

According to the news from the Mavericks after the game, after the doctor's diagnosis, Nowitzki suffered a contusion of the calf and tibia, and it is very likely that he will need to miss two to three weeks of the game. This time happens to be the first round of the Dallas Mavericks. :Reading novels

Needless to say, the role of Nowitzki in the Dallas Mavericks. It can be seen from their game against the Sonics that they had an advantage. After losing Nowitzki, the Mavericks were immediately defeated by the Sonics. The team was powerless to fight back.

As the critical moment of the playoffs approached, the occurrence of injuries to core players naturally annoyed Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. All of a sudden, the winning rate dropped to 40.00%.

And there is only one game left, such a depressing thing happened, and Stephen's movement was not particularly big at that time, just a simple turn around and overturned Nowitzki, who would have thought that it would hurt the bones It hurts.

Mark Cuban sneered at this, and even raised the matter of Nowitzki's injury to the level of conspiracy, thinking that the direct beneficiary of Nowitzki's injury is the San Antonio Spurs, and the relationship between the San Antonio Spurs and the Supersonics , then needless to say.

Mark Cuban did not directly specify, but even so, he was accused by the San Antonio Spurs and the Seattle SuperSonics. Even the league warned him, so that he did not speculate for no reason, and even his own The general manager of the team, Nelson Jr., also stated that Mark Cuban's speech only represents his personal position and does not represent the team's position.

The main reason why his general manager also opposed his own boss was that what Mark Cuban said was too idealistic. It is very normal for accidents like injuries to happen on the field. Well, let's not play that game at all.

There are only [-] teams in the league. They can't see each other when they look up, and no one wants to offend anyone. Everyone seems to be in the same circle, although they are separated according to tradition, geography, and connections Small groups, the Spurs and Mavericks are not in the same group.

But both teams are in Texas. When the old Nelson was in the Mavericks, the two sides still have a certain relationship. Although the old Nelson has left now and is not happy with Mark Cuban, it has not affected The relationship between the Mavericks and the Spurs.

As for the relationship between the Mavericks and the Supersonics, there is no grievance. The current Supersonics, apart from the previous name, have changed from the owner management to the coaching staff to the core players. , Naturally, there is no grievance in terms of personnel, and these people are all from the Spurs, so Yuanyuan is naturally brought over.

Mark Cuban quickly shut up. Originally, he was only angry for a while. Of course, for him, he should speak up when he is angry. He doesn’t need to swallow his anger. Like the drizzle, like the kind of guy who spits out the fine and just doubles and spits it out again, and he can actually do it too.

However, after the Spurs received and confirmed the news, they really felt very happy. Without Nowitzki's Mavericks, the threat to the Spurs will be greatly reduced, and they can save their savings to deal with the second round. opponent.

At this time, the New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers also defeated their opponents respectively, and the three parties were still standing on the same jumping line. After the Phoenix Suns lost in the confrontation with the New Orleans Hornets, they were excavated by Denver. The Golden team surpassed and fell to the eighth place in the Western Conference, and it was only half a game behind the Utah Jazz.

When all the Sonics came to Oakland, California, and were preparing to challenge the Golden State Warriors here, they received a message that the New Orleans Hornets defeated the Denver Nuggets again, but in back-to-back away games Lost to the Utah Jazz.

In this way, it is impossible for the New Orleans Hornets to pose a threat to the top position of the Seattle SuperSonics. As long as the Supersonics can win the Golden State Warriors, they will be the first in the Western Conference.

In this case, the Sonics easily won the unintentional Golden State Warriors. The Warriors were not powerless, but they were quickly defeated by the Sonics. The Sonics swept away the poor three-pointers in the last game, shooting three-pointers like rain.

However, the Warriors' three-pointers are also very good, especially their star players Baron Davis and Marco Belinelli, who each made five three-pointers, and Azubuike and Pietrus has two, and his three-point shooting is also quite good.

But it was nothing compared to the Sonics team who made 22 three-pointers together. In the end, the two teams each scored more than 120 points, but the Warriors lost the game.

After the game, Stephen chatted with Stephen Jackson for a while. Stephen Jackson first congratulated Stephen on getting the most valuable player in the regular season. If the award is not awarded to oneself, it is really unreasonable.

After chatting for a while, the two separated, but Stephen had a little thought for Stephen Jackson. If this guy can accept the substitute position and the annual salary can be lower, the team is worth getting him. This guy doesn't care He is very good at offense and defense, and is especially good at disrupting and tough battles. It will be a useful addition to the team now.

The abilities of Wilkins and Szczerbiak are combined, but they can be about the same as Stephen Jackson, but the salary of the two is also about the same as Stephen Jackson. If Stephen Jackson can come, the two of them are of little value up.

After returning to the team, everyone's season average data has also been released. Stephen averaged [-] points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steals and [-] blocks per game.

Stephen’s scoring average and steals per game rank first in the league, and his blocks per game are also the first among all perimeter players. In addition, among players averaging more than [-] points per game, He and LeBron James are the only two players who can get five assists and five rebounds at the same time.

But LeBron James's scoring average is only 37 points per game, and his steals and blocks are not as good as Stephen's, both of which are less than two. Even in the season when Jordan averaged [-] points per game, he only had more than five rebounds. There are fewer than five assists, nearly three steals, and fewer than two blocks.

And in the season when he averaged 35 points per game, he scored five rebounds and assists and three points and one steal. Only "Big O" Oscar Robertson was able to compete with Stephen in terms of points per game. Better than Stephen, only Wilt Chamberlain.

Stephen is not the only one whose data has increased significantly this season. Durant averaged 23 points, 20 rebounds and [-] assists per game in his rookie season. Comparing to the best rookies in the past, they can also be ranked in the top five in the past [-] years.

As an insider in the team's triangle combination, Coupard can average [-] points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists and [-] blocks per game, which is close to [-] plus [-]. Among the center forwards, they can also be ranked among the top seven, which is naturally a substantial improvement compared to last season.

In fact, players like Watson, Ridnor, and Wilkins have also grown. Some increase with the increase in playing time, and some increase with the status of the team's tactical system, but No matter what the reason is, after the team entered the rise, the players also rose, which shows that they have contributed to the team.

The day after the Sonics played against the Warriors, the [-]-[-] regular season came to an end. All eight of the teams have also been released.

The Utah Jazz fell in front of the gate of the playoffs. They had a chance to win the game, but with 3 minutes left in the game, they still led by six points.

However, Iverson and Carmelo Anthony dominated the game in the last two minutes and 54 seconds, worthy of their reputation and status, not only equalized the point difference, but also surpassed the opponent by seven points at the end of the game.

The phoenix suns are very lucky to squeeze into the playoffs, if the denver nuggets lose this game, then the nuggets will not fall out of the playoffs, they will only get them out, but the nuggets win Now, the one who gets squeezed out becomes the Utah Jazz.

And as the Seattle Supersonics won the top spot in the Western Conference, their opponent is the Phoenix Suns ranked eighth in the Western Conference, while the Denver Nuggets are against the New Orleans Hornets, and the Houston Rockets are against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Spurs take on the Mavericks.

There is basically no surprise in the matchup, except that the seventh and eighth players have changed positions. The Sonics are not dissatisfied with this. No matter whether the opponent is the Nuggets or the Suns, it makes no difference to the Sonics.

The Houston Rockets faced the Los Angeles Lakers, which was one of the opponents they least wanted to face, but there was nothing they could do. The fierce competition for the last two positions prevented them from falling below, and they could only try their best to keep their current position .

Only the Spurs picked up a bargain and faced a Mavericks team that lacked core players. However, they have a record foundation, so they can be so confident, and they have determined themselves to be the fourth place in the Western Conference from the beginning.
