Chapter 740 Recent Developments in the East
On the 18th, I went to Charlotte to challenge the Hornets away, a mere underdog, and easily won in three quarters.
The Hornets are now in the era of Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson.
As the No. 11 pick in the first round of 9, Walker can almost be said to have the best vision in Mr. Joe's boss career. He has played 20+5+5 data many times this season.
As for Jefferson, he was once known as the "Wolf King" when he was in the forest. In the three years he played for the Timberwolves, he played two consecutive double-doubles of 21+11.
本赛季是他为黄蜂队效力的第3个赛季，个人数据已经从13~14赛季的21.8分10.8篮板2.1助攻变成了现在的14分6篮板1.5助攻，但他在内线的能量依然不可小觑。
It is precisely because of the tacit cooperation between the two, one inside and one outside, that the Hornets can rank sixth in the Eastern Conference with 4 wins and 5 losses, and may be expected to make the playoffs this year.
However, when they encountered the ultimate boss of this season, the Trail Blazers, the Hornets' good days are over.
At 145:101, Wang Zelin beat Huang Feng by 44 points in front of Mr. Joe, easily helping the team win 11 consecutive victories.
这场他砍下42分24篮板5助攻4盖帽，利拉德26分11助攻，阿尔德里奇也有20分入账。
Jokic's playing time was shortened, scoring only 7 points and 5 rebounds, and Beverly scored 11 points.
On Huang Feng's side, although 6 players scored in double figures tonight, their main players were crushed terribly. None of them scored 20 points. The highest player, Kemba Walker, scored only 17 points and 8 assists.
During the game, whether intentional or unintentional, the on-site director frequently showed the Hornets owner Jordan. However, Mr. Joe really didn't show any face.
The scene of Mr. Joe's early exit quickly made it to the hot search list, and became a blockbuster news comparable to Wang Zelin's 40+20 after the game.
Then there was an away game against the Suns. The Blazers beat the Suns by 103 points 80:23 and continued their winning streak.
Because the Suns were too weak, Wang Zelin only played in the first half tonight, played 20 minutes, finished the game with 20+10 statistics, and then watched the whole game in a posture of Ge You lying down.
There is a saying that once a person becomes famous, farting is a good thing.
In this game, Wang Zelin's lying posture of Ge You quickly spread throughout the North American sports circle. In the following period of time, countless stars from all walks of life rushed to imitate it, and finally it went back to foreign countries.
Of course, that's all for later.
In the East, the Cavaliers are thriving, with an astonishing record of 10 wins and 2 losses. Except for the opening game lost to the Trail Blazers, another upset loss to the Wizards, and then no more defeats.
Behind the Cavaliers is the Bulls with 8 wins and 4 losses.
It stands to reason that the Bulls, who have just formed the Big Three model of Rose + Davis + Noah, will not be inferior to the Cavaliers in strength, but why haven't the wins reached double digits?
Because they underestimated Noah's endurance.
It is estimated that no one would have thought that since entering the league in 07, except for Noah, whose attendance rate was less than 10 games in the 11-50 season, he will suffer a major injury that can destroy his career this year, so that the former best defensive center will never return.
It is also because of the absence of Noah that after coming to the Bulls, Davis needs to do the work in the interior, which is actually similar to when he was with the Pelicans. He must attack and defend by himself.
The only fortunate thing is that Rose's state this season looks similar to last season, which makes Davis quite satisfied.
In his opinion, even if Noah plays on and off in the regular season and Rose is there, the two of them still have the ability to lift the Bulls into the playoffs. At least they can break his virginity in the playoffs, so that they will not always be said to be "the brush of the regular season" and "the leader of the empty cut group".
After the Bulls, the third and fourth in the Eastern Conference are the Raptors and the Heat, respectively.
For the Raptors, the pairing of DeRozan and Lowry, apart from anything else, at least the regular season is still very good.
Don't look at the Raptors' current record of 7 wins and 4 losses, but in the recent encounter with the Warriors, one of the league's top powerhouses, their performance can be regarded as not falling behind.
In the first half, with a big score of 47:63 behind the Warriors by 20 points, they set off a frenzy of chasing points in the third quarter. They played a wave of 36:27, scored 27 points in the final quarter, and required the Warriors to score 2 more points.
It's a pity that the hole ahead was too big, and it was never able to fill it back. In the end, they defeated the Warriors by 110 points 115:5.
In addition to the tenacity of the Raptors themselves, the head coaches of several strong teams, including Coach Terry, have also noticed a small problem with the Warriors.
For this Warriors team, the downwind ball seems a bit too rough!
In the third quarter, the brothers DeRozan and Lowry were still on the court, and anyone could see that the Raptors were obviously unwilling to admit defeat early.
At this time, no matter how relieved the head coach is, facing the opponent's main lineup, he should put on a show of one or two main players no matter what.
Hey, guess what.
Warriors coach Cole didn't play the main force for more than half a quarter. It wasn't until the Raptors played a 22:11 offensive wave that he belatedly took the Splash Brothers on the court.
This led to the Warriors' 5-point thrilling pass in the final stage.
If the Warriors don't correct this problem, it will be fine facing a team of the Raptors level, and even the worst situation can be controlled, but if they encounter a real strong team, they will pay the price sooner or later.
And finally the Heat.
At the beginning of the season, no one expected that the Heat, which didn't even make it to the playoffs last season, had a pretty impressive start this year.
The current record is 7 wins and 4 losses, the same as the Raptors.
The main reason for this change for the Heat is naturally inseparable from the steady performance of Wade and Bosh, and second, it has to be attributed to one person.
"Whiteside" Hassan Whiteside!
In the past few games, Whiteside averaged 15+11 double-doubles and... 3.7 blocks per game!
Currently ranked second in the league's block list, second only to a certain abnormality in front.
In fact, Whiteside joined the Heat last season and performed well, averaging 11.8 points, 10 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game.
But last season he played more as a substitute player, and only played 48 games, which could not play a key role in the Heat's record.
It wasn't until this season that he was promoted to the starting position, and Whiteside, who was on a bigger stage, finally got a chance to show off his extraordinary shot-blocking sense and frame-protecting talent.
In addition, after Bosh returned to the familiar No. 4 position, he formed a perfect one-offensive-one-defense complementarity with Whiteside, allowing the Heat's inside strength to jump to the top ranks of the Eastern Conference.
