Standing pretty old

Chapter 166 Battle in the East
After the game against the Pacers, the Eagles took a break and embarked on a continuous away journey.

This time, their goal will be Dallas. The Mavericks, who had the first record in the regular season last year, suffered a defeat in their first away game of the season.

And their opponent is the Eagles.

Back on their home court, the Mavericks are bound to launch a counterattack.

Since the two teams belong to different halves, there will only be two contests in a season.

If the Mavericks do not succeed in revenge in this game, then they will have to come back to trouble the Hawks next season.

On December 12, the Hawks arrived at the home of the Dallas Mavericks - American Airlines Arena.

Before the game, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban personally ran over to ask Ruan Erniu if he planned to join Dallas.

Although Cuban is a good boss, Ruan Erniu declined his invitation.

Ruan Erniu expressed that he still wants to realize his dream in Atlanta.

As his performance is getting better and better, as a rare star in this league with top strength and commercial value, it is only natural that Ruan Erniu will be welcomed by all teams.

Superstars must learn to enjoy, but also learn to reject, and Ruan Erniu is experiencing all this.

For the Eagles, today's game is destined to be difficult. As a powerful Western Conference, the Mavericks will not allow themselves to lose consecutively to their opponents.

The trend of this game can be described as uneventful, and the Atlanta Hawks lost to themselves.

It may be that the long flight made them too tired, or it may be that the players themselves are too slack.

In addition to the first quarter, the Hawks had a brief lead in the opening stage, after the game, the Mavericks have been in control of the game situation.

Nowitzki performed well in the game. In the whole game, he made 19 of 11 shots and 6 of 5 free throws. He scored 28 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.

28 points is also the highest individual score of the two teams in this game.

Josh Howard and Devin Harris each scored 19 points, providing enough firepower for the team.

The Mavericks, whose lineup is getting more and more organized, are starting to exert their strength slowly, and they are regaining the feeling of a strong team.

Ruan Erniu and Jiong Jisen did not perform well in this game.

The former scored 26 points and 17 rebounds, but his shooting percentage was only 44%. Looking at the data alone, it doesn't seem too bad.

But looking at his opposing defender, Eric Dampier, who is known as the "second center in the league" (self-proclaimed), this guy has a double-double of 12+10. What is the state of the game.

囧囧sen even made 18 of 6 shots, relying on free throws to kill, barely scored 17 points and 5 assists.

Neither of the two leaders found their form, and the Hawks' loss is in the process of being cleaned up.

92:97, this is a game that lacks suspense. The reason why the score is drawn closer is because in the second half of the fourth quarter, the game entered garbage time.

Atlanta's road trip was not smooth, they suffered a defeat at the start.

It's also the Hawks' last game in December.

After a two-day break in Dallas, the Hawks will be on the air again, with their next stop in Cleveland, Ohio.

Flying from the east to the west, and then back to the east from the west, if it weren't for the relatively loose schedule, the Eagles would really be scolding their mothers.

Regardless of whether the league's schedule is reasonable or not, it must be admitted that the Eagles this season do have the qualifications and spirit to complain.

If it was in the usual season, they would have played badly and played dead long ago, waiting for the draft pick, so it doesn't matter if the schedule is reasonable or not.

With the end of the game day on December 12, the latest regular season rankings of the NBA teams have also been released.

In the East, the teams ranked 1-8 are: Celtics, Pistons, Eagles, Magic, Raptors, Wizards, Pacers, Nets.

The Celtics' BIG3 is still powerful. Since the start of the game, they have achieved an impressive record of 26 wins and 3 losses. After more than two months of competition, they have only lost 3 games in total.

Who can stop this terrible team in the playoffs?No one can give a definite answer.

The Pistons, who won 23 wins and 8 losses, are a veteran team in the East. This season's performance can be said to be unsatisfactory. The aging lineup and lack of internal strength are their big problems.

However, with the advantage of 3 more games and a 2:1 record advantage against the Hawks, they still beat the fast-rising Atlanta Hawks and ranked second in the Eastern Conference.

The Eagles have a record of 22 wins and 6 losses so far this season, which is not easy for the young Eagles.

It is naturally Ruan Erniu from the Celestial Dynasty that has transformed this team.

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that the Eagles, a salted fish team, turned over.

The Magic team ushered in Mr. Lewis, the billionaire, has also made great progress compared to last season.And they're one of three teams to beat the Celtics.

Sparks has gradually entered the peak of his career this season. If there is no Chinese, he will be the best choice for the Eastern All-Star starting center.Well, well, unfortunately not if...

The Magic have achieved a record of 20 wins and 13 losses, which is a good result, but what they want in their hearts must be more.

The Raptors' record of 16 wins and 16 losses maintained their winning percentage at 50%. Bosh continued to stay in Toronto, but the conflict between him and the management always existed.

He believes that Bariani, the No. [-] pick in Italy, has too many privileges, but has not shown the corresponding strength, which is chilling.

It is amazing that the Wizards can still maintain the top eight in the Eastern Conference. The record of 15 wins and 14 losses may seem average, but it was completed without Arenas. Jamison and Caron Butler have been good enough so far, and no one can ask them to do more.

The Pacers' record of 15 wins and 17 losses is not ideal, but in the East, it is enough to rank in the top eight.Danny Granger has a promising future, and he is the hope of the Pacers' revival.

The Nets only scored 14 wins and 17 losses, temporarily ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference. I don't know if they can finally enter the playoffs this season.

Kidd's forehead lines deepened a little.

The teams ranked 9-15 in the Eastern Division are the Cavaliers, 76ers, Bulls, Bobcats, Bucks, Knicks, and Heat.

James has reason to cry. Although he can still efficiently maintain the data of 30+7.9+7.2 this season, he still lacks teammates who can give him enough support.

A KING must lead the team back to the ranks of the playoffs in the next game. James, who has gradually entered the league's Mesozoic generation, is eager to prove himself with his achievements.

Of the remaining teams, the Bulls and Heat should be criticized the most.

The Bulls also scored 49 wins and 33 losses last season. This should be a team with higher aspirations, but at present, the goal of the Windy City has basically become the pursuit of a high draft. Thorough show.

Naturally, the Heat don't need a lot. They won the championship last season and were fourth in the Eastern Conference last season.One of the strongest duo in the league with O'Neal and Wade.Actually ranked first in the East with 8 wins and 23 losses.

Not only did most of the American media not think of it, but they themselves were probably a little bit wrong.

If D. Wade's injury is unavoidable, then Shaquille O'Neal's sluggishness is unforgivable.

The old Shark is just eating his laurels, and his lazy style makes the Heat's management see no hope.

If Pat Riley in November is still hesitating, then the magician in December has already made up his mind, even if the price is lower, he will kick a hopeless fat man out of the team.
