Standing pretty old

Chapter 485

Mike Woodson breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his suit, stepped forward to shake hands with Jim O'Brien, and the Pacers were honored to lose in this game.

They almost pushed the Eagles to a desperate situation. If it weren't for the explosion of Ruan Erniu and Jiongsen, who scored 80 points together, and Salmons' fatal blow at a critical moment, the Pacers should win the game right.

In this game, Ruan Erniu contributed 55 points, 26 rebounds, and 10 blocks in an alternative triple-double, which is naturally the most important contribution.

Jiongsen scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists efficiently, and he did his best.

Salmons scored only 12 points, but his final kill was priceless.

The other Hawks players should be reviewed in this game, because apart from the above three, there is no fourth player in the team who scored in double figures.

On the other hand, the Pacers are more blooming, 6 people in double figures, Danny Granger alone scored 35 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, even if the last attack was intercepted by Salmons, It can only be said that the flaws do not conceal the virtues.

In general, the losing side played more proactively, but the winning side, the superstar's personal ability is too strong, which eventually made them suffer at home.

After the game, Pacers head coach Jim O'Brien attended the press conference as usual.

He resignedly said: "We performed better overall, but obviously, the Hawks have someone who can dominate the game.

I'm happy with the performance of the players, Granger played very well, but the Hawks are indeed the better team.

I don't think Kraft Nguyen is talking big, he does have the ability to hit the MVP this season. "

After O'Brien left, Woodson and Ruan Erniu attended the press conference together.

Before waiting for the reporter to ask questions, Woodson took the initiative to say: "I don't think we are the winners today. The Pacers are the team that played better. We just got a victory by luck."

A reporter retorted: "But you are the ones who won the game in the end. Kraft Nguyen also won an unprecedented 55+26+10!"

Ruan Erniu on the side laughed and said, "On the surface, it is indeed unprecedented, but who knows if Wilt Chamberlain has achieved such a statistic? After all, in his era, blocked shots have not been included in the technical statistics! "

Er Niu's words, on the surface, appear to be modest and cautious, but in fact it is not a strategy to market oneself.

The active stars are no longer enough to compare with him. Wherever his eyes reach and reach out, he has slowly become those ancient behemoths in history.

"Indiana Star" reporter Mike Wells asked: "The Eagles have won [-] games in a row. How long will you extend this number of wins?"

Woodson said: "This is not something we care about. No matter how many games we win in a row, we will lose. No one can guarantee 82 regular season victories. For us, an early loss may be Good thing!"

Ruan Erniu said: "I agree with Mike's point of view. We will not pursue winning streak one-sidedly. Being able to get enough records and gain a greater advantage in the playoffs is our top priority."

In the middle and late part of the press conference, someone naturally talked about Er Niu's statistics and MVP.

At this stage, from the perspective of the team's record, Er Niu's statistics are the highest in the league, ranking first in both points and rebounds. The only thing that can threaten Er Niu's MVP status must be a better team record.

In this regard, the Cavaliers with 9 wins and 3 losses this season have posed a big threat to the Hawks. LeBron James' average data per game this season is 28.4+7.6+7.2, which is the most dazzling in the league except Ruan Erniu. exist.

If the Cavaliers can surpass the Eagles in the final regular season record, the MVP of the 08-09 season is really unclear.

At the beginning of the game, it still needs enough time to verify whether the glorious Eagles can persist all the way to the end of the season.

After beating the Pacers, the Hawks once again flew back to Atlanta overnight.

Next, they will have two home games against the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Bobcats.

On November 2008, 11, the Eagles first ushered in the capital team of the United States, the Wizards, at home.

Regardless of the fact that the Wizards are the capital team, their attention in the NBA is quite average. Just looking at the annual All-Millions live broadcast schedule, you can tell that they are like stepmothers.

What's terrible is that Gilbert Arenas, the biggest player in the Wizards team and who was renewed this summer with 6 million yuan for 1.1 years, continues to truce indefinitely due to injuries.

There is no problem with Arenas' professional attitude, but his injuries have seriously affected his strength.

Even if agent No. 0 returns to the team in time, no one can say how much of his condition will recover.

Now the Wizards can only rely on the duo of Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison to support the entire team.

In fact, they did the same for most of last season, as Arenas only played 13 regular-season games last season.

This summer, the Wizards dared to use a big contract to get Arenas. It can only be said that the general's performance in the previous few seasons was too good, so the Wizards were willing to gamble on him.

Before playing against the Hawks, the Wizards had a record of 1 win and 7 losses. If there is no accident, they are destined to become the last team in the league this season.

Perhaps the Wizards management still has this idea in their hearts. It doesn't matter if they lose a little bit more this year. They can get a good pick next year. With the contribution of Arenas, the Wizards may be able to directly hit the championship!

Since they have no desire for results, the Wizards are not afraid to send newcomers to hone, especially in the center position. JaVale McGee, who was selected by the Wizards with the 18th overall pick in the first round this year, was promoted to the starting position .

Speaking of the 08 draft this summer, there is such a strange phenomenon.That is, tall centers with outstanding physical talents are becoming less and less popular. On the contrary, super offensive point guards and dubious powerful insiders have become hamburgers for teams to compete for.

Whether it is JaVale McGee or DeAndre Jordan, their draft picks are far below the expectations of experts. Compared with Jordan Jr., McGee is not bad. After all, he was selected in the first round and mixed made a starter.

Jordan, who is far away in Los Angeles, is still on the fringes of the team.

Philips Arena, Ruan Erniu and McKee jumped the ball in the middle circle.

McGee hooks the basketball, and...

The basketball was directly hit out of the sideline by McGee. Ruan Erniu was stunned for half a second, and then couldn't help laughing.

what's the situation?
To get the ball so easily?

Ruan Erniu ran to the frontcourt and said to McGee who was guarding him next to him: "Rookie, take it easy!"

Just as McGee was about to reply, Ruan Erniu suddenly advanced forward, throwing off McGee and cutting to the basket.

囧囧sen knew how to send the lob pass, Er Niu stretched his arms in the air, and dunked the ball neatly with one hand into the basket, making the first goal for the Eagles.

"You liar!" McGee said to Erniu with some displeasure.

While returning to defense, Ruan Erniu shouted at McGee: "Welcome to the NBA!"

This is the way a veteran greets a rookie. McGee's talent is good, but sometimes it's easy to get distracted.

Some Chinese fans later had an interesting comment on him: "Everything below the head is at the superstar level!"
