NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

Chapter 82 Son of Akron

Post-match interview.

Wang Song, who scored 28 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, was rarely interviewed on stage at Madison Square Garden.

“Who is better between me and Randolph in this game? In fact, we can see from the data level that our data is not much different. He also got a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds, but what I want to say is… basketball is never a one-man show!”

“I have Steve, Alan, Kurt… and a group of trustworthy teammates in the Knicks. We should be able to go further.”

“As for Randolph’s defensive attitude and his voice in the team – I think this will be a problem worth thinking about for the Trail Blazers in the short term. They must find a balance to solve the conflicts in the locker room. Fortunately, New York does not have such a problem.”

···

The media likes Wang Song’s plain answer style. He directly pointed his sharp spear at the Trail Blazers’ locker room.

And that emotion is slowly fermenting in the Trail Blazers.

An action related to the Trail Blazers management’s training of Randolph is underway.

While the game in Madison Square Garden is in full swing, another team in the East is also running at full speed behind the Knicks.

Inside the Quicken Loans Arena.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Orlando Magic again and won their fifth consecutive victory!

LeBron James scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in this game. Compared with other personal data panels, his playing time is more eye-catching.

43 minutes!

Paul Silas, the Cavaliers coach who got the No. 1 pick, may not be a famous coach in history, but knowing the basic skills of relying on mountains and rivers is enough for him to not be a complete mediocre coach.

After winning this victory, the Cavaliers and the Indian Pacers came to the same starting line and tied for second in the East.

Unlike the Cavaliers who rely more on the single-core rookie James, the Pacers’ victory can be said to be a thorough team basketball.

Rick Carlisle, the Pacers coach, is a classic academic coach. Under his leadership, under the premise that the Pacers’ biggest star is Jermaine O’Neal, they defeated strong enemies one after another.

Among them is the current No. 1 in the West, the Los Angeles Lakers!

That’s right, the original O’Neal lost to O’Neal Jr., which sounds a bit unbelievable.

But under Carlisle’s leadership, this thing really happened at Staples.

O’Neal Jr. didn’t crush the Sharks head-on. The biggest factor for the Lakers’ defeat was that Milan’s little blacksmith completely lost his touch in this game.

With 6 of 24 shots, Kobe Bryant barely scored 17 points. His inefficient performance and sticky ball attribute made him the top war criminal in the loss to the Pacers.

Even after the game, the Sharks directly expressed their dissatisfaction with Kobe’s performance.

But Kobe is that kind of character. He doesn’t care about other people’s opinions at all. He just does himself and has the full Mamba attribute.

So when he made 2 of 10 shots in the first half, he still played so resolutely in the second half.

Strong teams are winning frequently, and as the schedule progresses, fans are increasingly looking forward to the strong confrontation at the beginning of the season.

···

New York!

After the Knicks finished off the Trail Blazers, the strength of the opponents they encountered showed a significant decline.

They won three consecutive games from the Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks, and Phoenix Suns.

Except for the Phoenix Suns, who struggled a little, the other two teams basically clocked out after three quarters, and there was no suspense in the game.

The Phoenix Suns coached by Frank Johnson played a similar style to the Knicks, both of which were defensive counterattacks.

This season, “Brazilian Lightning” Barbosa and Stephen Marbury became Frank Johnson’s offensive engine.

Before meeting the Knicks, Frank Johnson thought they played well offensively, but the defense needed to be improved.

But when he saw Nash on the court as the brain of the Knicks to launch an offense, the Knicks were like a machine with its own thoughts, running.

He was dumbfounded.

He had a new understanding of offensive tactics, which was one aspect.

The most important thing was that he envied the Knicks’ duo!

The Knicks coach who was caught in the layoff storm didn’t even need to open his mouth, he just sat there silently, and the team’s offense on the court was smooth.

In contrast, “Hacker” Marion and “Little Bully” Star

DeMaier, “Brazilian Lightning” Barbosa… including “Lone Wolf” Stephen Marbury, have no tacit understanding at all.

It can even be said that these famous stars can’t produce a good chemical reaction when they get together.

The distribution of ball rights alone is enough to give Frank Johnson a headache for a long time, not to mention the atmosphere in the locker room.

The final game naturally ended with the Suns losing, and the coaches of both teams did not show much coaching level in this game.

This also became the Knicks’ 9th victory, and also the 9th consecutive victory to top the Eastern Conference.

Under such a schedule, they ushered in the strongest team since the start of the season.

Cleveland Cavaliers!

After losing the opening game, the Cavaliers have not lost again, and are currently following the Knicks with a record of 8 wins and 1 loss.

A story about the first and second battles in the Eastern Conference slowly opened.

And the topic of this game is not only that.

The conclusion of the best rookie is also rumored in the outside world.

After nearly ten regular season games, most fans have a clearer understanding of this year’s rookies.

In the year of the 2003 draft, only Darko Milicic was a coward among the top three picks. He played 30 minutes as a core player and averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds per game on the bench.

This also made Joe Dumars, the general manager of the Pistons who chose Milicic, a laughing stock in the league. There was a rumor that he would step down from the Pistons.

Except for the second pick, as expected in the draft, the performances of the first and third picks were very good.

So good that since the start of the season, the starting positions of the two have become more stable than anyone else on the team.

Before the two teams started playing, the first pick LeBron James averaged 36 minutes per game and was able to get 27 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

The son of Akron did not disappoint the Cleveland fans!

It can be said that the current Cavaliers have come this far thanks to James’ joining. The role players’ poor performance for many years has already dissipated the fans’ confidence. Now James’ return is a shot in the arm for the Cavaliers fans.

And the Knicks.

Wang Song has become a reliable pillar of the team’s inside line, making up for the Knicks’ long-standing inside line shortcomings.

With an average of 29 minutes of playing time, he can contribute 22 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks per game.

This also makes Wang Song’s reputation as the best center in the East!
