Chapter 5 Consolidation of Position

On the contrary, the performance of Iverson and Kwame Brown is very surprising. Iverson scored 27 points in the whole game. You should know that he came on as a substitute. The number of games with more than 27 points this season is only ten games, and most of these ten games were scored in the front, in unlimited fire. Get it when you have the right.

However, in this game, as a substitute, he got 27 points in 25 minutes, which exceeded his efficiency during the time of unlimited fire. The performance of this game obviously exceeded the expectations of the fans, which was a very good start. After this game, it must be qualitative. There will be less doubt, right?

After the game, Iverson was still very happy. After all, his performance and state in this game were very good. He absolutely did not expect such performance and state before the game, and he never dared to think about it. Before the game, he just wanted to play the game well by himself. As for how many points he could get, he didn't care.

"It's a good start. I hope my performance will be better and better, and I will prove that I will definitely bring great help to this team. At the same time, I will also fulfill my unfinished dream for many years. Champion, wait for me..." Iverson looked at the distance and said fiercely in his heart.

After the end of this game, the Cavaliers have a day's rest time. Now every day is very important to the Cavaliers. After all, after the team joins the two, and after the two people with a good status, this tacit understanding should be cultivated, and the players also know this situation, so In the daily team training, each player has carefully completed the thought given to them by the coach. In their opinion, only if they perform well in the training in the team can they win more time on the field to prove themselves. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

After losing this game, the Eagles fell from the seventh position in the East to the eighth place, because the Bulls also won the opponent in today's game, coupled with the record of the two teams, the Bulls jumped directly to the seventh place in the East. At present, the sixth place are the Raptors, the Raptors and the seventh and eighth. There are two wins and games between the teams, so the current position of Furious is still relatively safe, but Furious must stay in shape in the next game and strive to win every game, otherwise the sixth place may be pulled down by the seventh Bulls and the eighth Eagles at any time.

The ninth place is the Heat. The Heat's record this season is not so good. Now they are very regretful of trading the list. At present, they are also two wins away from the eighth Eagles in the East. The gap is really not big. It depends on whether the Heat can complete the reversal in the next game. The last bus of the last playoffs, after all, the Heat is really in a bad state this season. It may be that the deal affects their tacit understanding. If this is the case, the Heat may explode in the next game, and the chance of a reversal is still very large.

The current ranking in the east: the first knight, the second Celtic, the third Pistons, the fourth magic, the fifth wizard, the sixth Raptors, the seventh bull, the eighth eagle, and the ninth is the Heat.

These nine teams are currently the nine most likely to advance to the playoffs. As for the other six teams, it is quite difficult to play the fund the playoffs, so let's not mention it for the time being.

After talking about the East, let's talk about the ranking of the West. The current ranking of the West: the first Spurs, the second Lakers, the third Nuggets, the fourth Rockets, the fifth Sun, the sixth Hornets, the seventh Jazz, the eighth Trail Blazers, the ninth is the Mavericks, and the tenth is the Grizzlies.

The gap between the seventh and the tenth is very small. The difference between the seventh and the tenth is only three wins, so who gets on the chariot of the playoffs in the end can only be decided in the end. The battle for places in the playoffs in the West is very fierce, which is one of the main reasons why the West is strong and the East is weak.

The gap between the first Spurs and the second Lakers is also very small. There is a difference between the two teams, and the top position may be exchanged at any time. Although it is more than a month and nearly two months before the start of the playoffs, all teams are ready to sprint now. Let's see who can Sprint to the end and stick to the end.

Whether it is the top three in the East or the top three in the West, they have locked the playoffs in advance, but now there is no absolute lock, but it's almost the same. The top three can't advance to the playoffs. In theory, it's equivalent to a miracle, that is, if the top three don't enter the playoffs, Then the miracle of tragedy happened.

However, although it is not difficult for the top three to advance to the playoffs, there is still competition between them, that is, the top position of the league, or the top position of the East and West. If it is the top position in the league, then all series of playoffs will have an absolute home advantage.

The top position of the East and West is that all the home advantages of the playoff series before the finals are in their hands, so the top three are competing for the top position, establishing an absolute home advantage for themselves in the playoffs, so the competition between them is far from over. It can be said that it is just the beginning, or So when it comes to the critical moment, it depends on who can withstand all the pressure first, and nail yourself firmly there to prevent it from falling.

After the game with the Eagles, the Cavaliers immediately flew to the next stop, Golden State, after the team training match the next day. Tomorrow night's opponent will be the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors' record this season is very poor, almost for a mess. It can be said that if there is no surprise in this game, there will be absolutely no difficulty, and it will be extremely easy to win the game.

And that night's game, as expected, the Warriors were defeated from the first quarter of the whole game. At the end of the game, the Cavaliers led the Warriors by 90 points with a big score of 120, exactly 30 points, and it was another big victory, using a big victory to consolidate their current ranking.

After the All-Star, the Cavaliers are in a very good state, as if they have not been affected by the All-Star weekend. You should know that some people will get All-Star sequelae. This kind of sequelae is easy for newcomers to get it. However, neither Huang Jun nor Asik has been affected by it in any way, which makes them ready to deal with it. Law's head coach Brown was very surprised and really surprised.

Seeing such a situation, he finally knew that his worries were in vain, and his coping solutions were also in vain. Naturally, he was very happy with such a result. What he was most worried about did not happen. How could he make him unhappy?

But there is another thing he has always felt very strange, that is, neither Huang Jun nor Asik have been hit by the rookie wall, which in his opinion, is very incredible.

"If the rookie wall of these two kids stays in the playoffs, it will be a big problem. Now this rookie wall is a time bomb, and I don't know when it will explode. Alas, it's a big trouble after all. Brown remembered this and was worried that he would not go for a long time, and he was always entangled in his heart.

It seems that we need to find a solution. No matter when it happens, the operation of the team cannot be stopped. After thinking about it, Brown fell directly into meditation and thought about how to solve this problem.

After solving the Warriors, the Cavaliers flew to Memphis again. This time, the opponent was the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have performed well in the new season so far, especially under the leadership of Carrefour and Mark Gasol and Guy. The Grizzly Bear season has changed dramatically compared with last season. This game is gray. The bear's determination to win is also very strong.

At present, they are ranked in the tenth place in the West, but the gap with the front is not too big. Now what they need to do is to further reduce the distance, not to be widened, and all this naturally requires is the team's continuous victory. If you lose one game and the competitor wins one game, then the difference will be Dora played a game, so they must have won this game.

Every player of the Grizzlies hopes that their team can win the game, and they also hope that their performance in this game is so excellent, but the opponent is the Cavaliers. They also know that the game will be very difficult, but they will not think about giving up, but will stick to the end of the game. A moment.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Cavaliers to release water in this game, because the current Cavaliers also need to win every game to consolidate their team's position, so the water release is far from meeting the conditions.

The general manager of Grizzly Bear also hates knights now. Why? Because the knights robbed the Iverson they needed, the agreement was about to be reached, but it was only a little bit, only Iverson nodded and agreed. However, he didn't expect to be inserted by the knight as a dark horse, and finally received Iverson, which made him very angry.

If Iverson comes, the team's hope of entering the playoffs will be greatly increased. Whether it is Iverson's rich playoffs experience or another finals experience, these are undoubtedly very valuable to the Grizzlies, but all this has been ruined with the addition of the Cavaliers. How can they be angry?

It is naturally impossible for Grizzlies players to know this kind of thing. If this kind of thing is not agreed, the general manager of the team will not tell you, because once this kind of news comes out, it will affect the player's mentality, so the general team will not say this kind of thing, unless this person and the team are inseparable. After handing it in, everyone knows, so the transaction is naturally inevitable, and the news will naturally not have such a big reaction.
