Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 215 5 consecutive victories
There is also a problem with Stoudemire's choice. In fact, after breaking through the Sonics' defense, it is more appropriate if he can pass the ball out.

He chose to believe in himself, but unfortunately, not everyone is called Kobe Bryant.

The Blazers served the ball from the sideline, and Dixon got the ball, but instead of passing the ball to the opponent, he chose to play a single.

It is obviously not a wise choice to choose singles at this time.

Not to mention, he was facing Wang Hao, one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA.

Facing Wang Hao's defense, Dixon chose to break through forcefully, but unfortunately, he couldn't pass at all.

Unable to break through and running out of time, Dixon could only choose the extremely difficult fadeaway jumper.

This is Jordan's signature move. With this move, Jordan has taught countless opponents.

Unfortunately, Dixon is not Jordan.

Although the extreme lean-back avoided Wang Hao's block, but the same is true for shooting.

Of course, it has to be said that Dixon at least chose to take the initiative to take responsibility instead of taking the blame.

As for the ending... The ending is naturally that Mike Dunleavy immediately called a timeout and cursed.

"Tactics, what about tactics? I'll arrange for you to play tactics instead of letting you mess around on the field!"

The roaring voice of Mike Dunleavy even reached here from the other end of the field.

"Mike is not a gentleman at all!"

Paul Westphal gloated again and commented on the opposing coach.

I don't know who it was just now, standing on the sidelines nervously, constantly commanding.

Now seeing that the score is leading and the advantage is stable, it has changed.

"Listen well, the advantage lies with us, don't worry, it is our opponent who should worry now.

Facts have proved that our conclusion is correct, they will be anxious when they fall behind, and this is our opportunity. "

……

After the game, the Sonics attacked in a leisurely manner, constantly passing the ball to look for opportunities.

In the end, Wang Hao attracted double-teams and gave Gary Payton the ball, and Gary Payton broke through again, causing the opponent to foul.

At this point, Gary Payton's free throws are still very trustworthy.

Two free throws were made, and the point difference was once again opened to a certain 10 points.

I don't know if it was affected. During the offense, the Blazers obviously had problems again.

They played out their tactics and handed the ball to Rasheed Wallace, but Rasheed Wallace missed the shot.

Logically speaking, at this point in the game, if you want to chase points, you should play more confidently.

Play inside, don't be afraid of physical confrontation, even if you miss the shot, you still have a chance to make a foul.

Gary Payton just had this idea.

However, Rasheed Wallace ultimately chose the mid-range shot, which he prefers.

That's the problem with the Trail Blazers!
First of all, there are too many players, there is no particularly clear tactical core, and no one stands up at critical moments.

You said Rasheed Wallace, he is indeed the player with the best personal statistics, but his core is not conspicuous.

There are many players, and there are also many players who can play key shots. This is indeed an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

Because at the critical moment, everyone seems to want to try it, but the final result seems to be not very good.

And then there's the question of Rasheed Wallace.

Don't look at his scoring nickname is very domineering, roaring Tianzun, the whole is either roaring, or a vicious look.

However, he is a player who does not like confrontation.

Similar to Garnett, they both prefer mid-range jumpers, rather than head-to-head inside.

It's just that he is not as skilled as Garnett in fighting and retreating.

It's really big at the critical moment. If you are not tough enough and play too softly, it will only give your opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.

It's not that you have to hit the inside line at a critical moment.

It's just that, at least you can't be afraid of confrontation, you have to show your toughness.

After all, if you can't be tough, your opponent will be tough.

When it really hits a critical moment, unless you meet a purposeful referee, otherwise, the referee's whistle will only be more cautious.

In fact, there is no need to watch the next game.

The Blazers didn't play very well, or they didn't play very purposefully, and they didn't know who should be the main player.

Come on this one, come on that one, and scored a few goals, but the Supersonics are also scoring goals.

97:88
The final score was fixed, and the Sonics defeated the Trail Blazers at home.

It was just a regular season, and the Blazers didn't pay much attention when they left the field.

Of course, it is certain that I am in a bad mood, after all, I lost the game.

As for the Sonics, they returned to the locker room happily. Winning always makes people happy.

In this game, Wang Hao once again scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and performed very well.

Moreover, he scored 30+ in three consecutive games in the new season, which annoyed countless teams.

That's right, they were thinking back to that year's draft. Obviously there was a higher pick, so why didn't they choose Wang Hao?

On the second day, on November 11, the NBA announced the best player of the first week of the new season.

That's right, Wang Hao successfully won the award, which is also the first time in his career that Wang Hao has won this honor.

In the first week of the new season, the Sonics played a total of 3 games and won three consecutive victories.

Because Gary Payton is still adjusting his state, the three games can be said to be Wang Hao's full firepower.

在首周的比赛里，王昊场均能够得到39.7分6篮板6助攻，以及2次抢断和1.7次盖帽。

Especially in the opening game, against the Vancouver Grizzlies away, Wang Hao scored 53+5+6.

This kind of performance directly made Wang Hao shine in the NBA. He is no longer a potential star, but a real first-class star.

Prior to this, many media said that Wang Hao was not worthy of the title of the four major shooting guards.

However, now, it is estimated that no media will say that again, and Wang Hao has already responded to these doubts with his own performance.

One week is the best, although it's not bad, but it's not enough to make Wang Hao so happy that he can't sleep.

If it's the best of the month, it's about the same.

Today's NBA Player of the Month is still quite valuable, because he has a lot to do with the regular season MVP.

After all, if he didn't even get the best player of the month, it would be unreliable to say that he won the regular season MVP.

Unlike later, the best players of the month were divided into east and west, which lost the meaning of the best.

They are already the best, so naturally there can only be one.

Nowadays, the East and West only select the best one month every month, which means that there are only 6 places in a season.

It is not easy to obtain one of them.

Not to mention others, just Gary Payton, who has only won the best of the month in his entire career.

Moreover, it was still in the closing stage of last season. At that time, he played 25+8+8 and led the team to successive victories, which was the best of the month.

And then, the Sonics encountered an interesting opponent, yes, it was the Magic team led by Tracy McGrady.

This is the first opponent of the Sonics' trip to the east.

At the beginning of the new season, the Sonics ushered in a wave of east road trips, which is really not easy.

When he came to the arena of the Magic team, Wang Hao had a chat with McGrady.

But that's all, when it comes to competition production, neither of them will be polite.

There is still a gap in strength between the two sides. From the beginning of the game, the Supersonics have firmly grasped the advantage on the scene.

For the Magic, facing Wang Hao's defense, McGrady did a very good job and was still able to keep scoring points.

However, with the help of his teammates, Wang Hao can effectively reduce McGrady's efficiency, which is enough.

After all, countless bullfights have proved that it is not so easy to completely freeze McGrady.

Similarly, McGrady can't guard against Wang Hao.

Especially in the game, Wang Hao can better cooperate with his teammates instead of relying on his own offense.

In addition, he can also feel that McGrady's defense has dropped a lot compared to last year.

It's not that McGrady's defensive ability has declined, but his defensive attitude has obviously changed.

Last season, in order to play more time and perform better, he was very active on defense.

It can be said that he relied on defense to gain a foothold in the Raptors.

However, times have changed, and with him coming to the Magic, coupled with a series of problems for the Magic.

Today's McGrady is the core of the team's offense and the top scorer. Naturally, he is not so serious about defense.

On the one hand, it is naturally a matter of physical fitness, and on the other hand, it is a matter of ideological attitude.

To put it bluntly, this is a common problem with most offensive players.

Using "I want to use my physical energy on offense" as an excuse can be done without serious defense.

After all, you have done all the defensive work, so what do you let those defensive blue-collar players do, wouldn't they lose their jobs?

In the second quarter, Wang Hao and McGrady also staged a soaring point battle, and the stage was completely occupied by the two.

All kinds of singles, all kinds of response balls, the fans on the scene climaxed and shouted wildly.

Even the DJs at the scene had to admit that McGrady and Wang Hao are definitely the most famous rising stars in the east and west.

Hearing this, Wang Hao was not happy.

He is one of the top four shooting guards, and McGrady is still a little bit worse than him.

In the second quarter, McGrady scored 14 points in a single quarter, but failed to open the score in one fell swoop.

Because of the same, Wang Hao also scored 15 points in the second quarter, and his performance was no worse than McGrady.

In the third quarter, the rest of the Sonics, led by Gary Payton, also began to show their strength.

Under Wang Hao's restraint, the Magic couldn't spare any more strength to defend others.

As for offense, the entire Magic, except McGrady, that is, point guard Armstrong performed well.

It's a pity that under Gary Payton's defense, his performance today was greatly restricted.

With their performance in the third quarter, the Sonics scored 38 points in a single quarter, completely widening the gap and securing the victory.

108:93
In the first game of the Eastern Conference tour, the Sonics got off to a good start, which is a good start.

It's just that there is another tough battle to fight next.

The Supersonics challenged the Heat in an away game. As a frequent visitor to the Eastern Conference playoffs in recent years, the Heat's strength is not bad.

However, today's Heat are also in trouble.

After the Olympics, after the start of NBA training camp, Alonzo Mourning felt unwell.

Through the examination, it was found that there was a lesion in the kidney organ.

This is the kidney, the most important organ of the human body. If there is a disease, it is definitely a big problem.

This is true for ordinary people, not to mention professional athletes who constantly challenge their physical limits.

If anyone else encountered such an illness, it might be career over.

But this person is Alonzo Mourning, so that is not necessarily the case.

But one thing is for sure, Mourning will not come back in a short time, and it is difficult to determine his state after he comes back.

Let me say it again, Alonzo Mourning's illness, it is very likely that he used painkillers many times and went into battle with injuries.

Others play hard, but Mourning is really hard to play.

In this regard, Wang Hao didn't think there was anything to laugh at. In fact, he admired it inexplicably.

For basketball, he is a true love.

If it were Wang Hao, he would definitely not be able to do this. Basketball is very important to him, but he is not only basketball.

Speaking of Mourning's injury, I have to say that the Heat are really lucky today.

In the original time and space, because of Mourning's injury, Eddie Jones was unable to support himself, and the Heat's performance this season was mediocre.

After all, with the loss of such a general inside, no one can support the inside, which greatly increased the pressure on Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones is strong, but he has never been the kind of super scorer, averaging 20 points is the sky.

Under such circumstances, the Heat's offense has become a big problem.

However, this time, because of Wang Hao's appearance in the Supersonic, there has been a small change in history.

Wen Baker was traded to the Heat, although without Mourning, he can still share the pressure for Eddie Jones.

Moreover, from the previous few games, Wen Baker, who averaged 16+8 per game, actually performed well.

It has to be said that Pat Riley is still a bit of a deterrent, and he was able to force Wen Baker to quit drinking.

I just don't know how long this time can last.

Wen Baker faced his old club for the first time, and PJ Brown returned to Miami. This game is still something to watch.

It's a pity that the Heat lost their star Alonzo Mourning, so their strength must be greatly reduced.

Relying on defense, in the first half, the two sides played back and forth, which was very exciting.

But in the third quarter, the Supersonics began to exert their strength. Wang Hao and Gary Payton scored 23 points together.

Through the oppression of a game, the score was stretched to double digits.

Eddie Jones' defense is actually not bad, but it is obviously impossible to completely defend against Wang Hao.

Wang Hao simply didn't want to collide with him head-on, and either played a pick-and-roll or played off the ball.

This is where Wang Hao is strong. He has a variety of ways to play and a variety of ways to end offenses.

What's more, besides him, there is Gary Payton in the team, who can fully control the offensive rhythm.

96:88
In the end, the Sonics took the Heat and took away a victory from Miami.

It was the second win on the Eastern Conference road trip and the fifth straight this season.
