Since March 30, the Mavericks have not lost a game. The 10-game winning streak ended. In the third game of April, the SuperSonics lost to the Mavericks during the winning streak.
Nowitzki has been performing very well, and Zhang Hao didn't think there was any problem with winning the Player of the Month award in April.
But here comes the trouble
Duncan became the first player in NBA history to win the Best of the Month 4 times in a single season!
The previous highest record was three times in a single season. To be more precise, before Zhang Hao won the best of the month three times in the 1999-00 season, no one else in NBA history had won the best of the month three times in a single season, because in 2000- Before the 2001 season, the best of the month and best of the week were not divided into east and west. Zhang Hao set a record by winning the best of the month three times in a single season.
After dividing the Eastern and Western Conferences, Iverson and Tracy McGrady completed three best-of-the-month awards in a single season.
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, has won the Best of the Month three times for four consecutive seasons since the 1999-00 season.
After this season, Zhang Hao¡¯s Best of the Month has reached 15 times, one short of the 16 Best of the Month held by SuperSonics legend Michael Jordan.
But the record of three best-of-the-month awards in a single season has been broken!
Duncan won his fourth Player of the Month award this season! One more time than Zhang Hao¡¯s monthly best times this season!
??Look carefully, Duncan has won the Best of the Month 4 times this season, and there is no problem every time. He is the one with the best combination of Eastern team and personal performance.
This is where the fun of winning the monthly best award comes in. Luck is very important!
Duncan just got a bargain. Although the overall strength of the Eastern Conference has become stronger this season, the record of the top teams is shockingly poor. There has not been a division first with 54 wins in decades.
The top teams have declined in strength due to various reasons, but the strength of ordinary strong teams in the division has increased. Such a situation has arisen.
At this time, Duncan led 7 main players including Iverson and Raheem, and rushed to 50 wins. It is not surprising that he won many awards.
But originally, after the SuperSonics won the first place in the league, Zhang Hao's calls for consecutive MVPs soared. Now, Duncan has won the best of the month for a record-breaking 4 times, becoming the first in history in this regard, and the suspense of MVP has revived!
¡¡
¡¡
Garnett feels bad, very bad.
He always felt that what the other No. 21 did this season would eventually be vented by someone on him, the No. 21.
Thinking about it makes me feel miserable
The sign at the door of Key Arena states that the Sonics will move to a new arena in East Seattle next season, near Lake Washington and the Pacific Northwest Ballet School. This arena will be donated for use by college teams.
Garnett took a look and saw the news before. Jordan invested 60 million, Howard Schultz invested 110 million, x Sports invested 30 million for the title, and Seattle's local finance and local consortium invested a total of 90 million. It cost a total of US$290 million to build the largest arena in the NBA for the Sonics.
In addition, several shareholders of the Sonics also pooled their money to build a small arena for training and games for Development League teams.
¡®Don¡¯t let loyalty get you¡¯
Garnett thought of what Zhang Hao said one year He didn't think Zhang Hao's words were convincing.
Zhang Hao's departure from the Lakers has nothing to do with "loyalty". Instead, it means "you can be willful if you have strength."
Therefore, it is more in line with Zhang Hao's behavior to not only consider the interests, but also to stay in a team or just not want to stay anywhere.
but¡¡
Three more times and I still can¡¯t get past the first round!
In the past two years, Garnett still wanted to struggle when he met the Sonics in the first round, but this year, he has no intention of struggling at all.
If the Sonics lose the last game and fall to second place in the Western Conference, even if they play the Mavericks, who have a similar record, Garnett will not be so desperate.
But playing against the Sonics
"Hi, Kevin, you're here."
A familiar voice came, and Garnett turned around to see Zhang Hao, who was carrying a small schoolbag, followed by Ben Wallace and Jason Williams on the left and right.
It has been many years, and Zhang Hao still has the same configuration next to him.
Suddenly, Garnett recalled his sophomore year with Marbury and Gugliotta next to him
Zhang Hao¡¯s left and right guardians were also formed that year.
But the two people next to Zhang Hao have always been there. The two people next to him, Garnett, have been separated because of the big contract worth 128 million U.S. dollars.
Seeing that Garnett was silent, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t ask anything.The shooting percentage is very dismal, but when no one except Szczerbiak can score, there is nothing that Garnett can do about throwing 24 times per game.
In addition to shooting percentage, Garnett's playoff data can be described as explosive.
Averaging 26 points, 15.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, he averaged only 2.5 turnovers per game. As an insider who averages 5+ assists per game, his assist-to-turnover ratio exceeds 2, which is really strong.
Under the leadership of Garnett, the Timberwolves also held on tenaciously until the sixth game.
But even after winning two games, Garnett didn't even have the faintest idea of ??being upset.
After kneeling for six consecutive games in the first round of the playoffs and meeting the SuperSonics again, Garnett no longer had any expectations for advancing to the playoffs.
People will always change according to the passage of time and changes around them.
The mvp awards were not held here, but left for the second round.
Although they have not advanced to the first round, the Sonics still have confidence in this.
The fans at the scene were not in a hurry, they just cheered first.
At 7:58 pm, the referee signaled the two teams to start, and the lights dimmed
The long-lost scene appeared, and the fans at the scene became completely manic when they saw Zhang Hao¡¯s face on the big screen!
Zhang Hao¡¯s roar set off the whole audience!
The two teams started the game, and the SuperSonics sent out Cassell, Brent Barry, Artest, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace in the starting lineup.
The Timberwolves sent out a starting lineup of Rod Strickland, Kendall Gill, Szczerbiak, Garnett, and Rasu Nesterovich.
Looking at the opposite superstar with a 98 rating with such a lineup, Zhang Hao has never seen such a miserable superstar.
Looking at the names, the Timberwolves are still very strong on the outside, but Rod Strickland is 37 years old and Kendall Gill is 35 years old.
Zhang Hao suddenly had an epiphany - maybe when the madmen and aliens in time and space joined the Timberwolves, Garnett didn't have much expectations.
¡° Garnett has to meet a few of those thirty-five-year-old veterans every year and has long been numb. But he didn¡¯t expect that Cassell would reach his peak at the age of 34
With his voice just now, Zhang Hao could feel the frenzy of his teammates.
He actually doesn¡¯t dare to yell anymore.
Originally, after leaving the Lakers, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t like shouting before games.
After Odom came, he became afraid.
I remember it was February 22nd, a home game, and Zhang Hao wanted to see if he could scream before the game to make Odom angry.
As a result, after yelling, Zhang Hao saw Odom tilting his head and looking at the big screen with a silly smile.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not lose the game as the whole team performed well and played 21 minutes with 2 assists and 3 turnovers.
There were times when the roar was successful. Zhang Hao really didn't believe in fate and just wanted to roar and try. That night, Odom scored the first double-digit assist in his SuperSonics career, 11 assists, but he had too few rebounds. After getting a triple-double, he got a triple-double later.
Zhang Hao discovered that this teammate was not only unpredictable in his playing state, but also gave different feedback even when he was cheating.
But tonight, Zhang Hao just wanted to roar.
What the roar brought was 35 to 19 in the first quarter, directly entering garbage time
Some public opinion said that this year's first round series of each group became more and more anxious, which was related to the change of the best-of-five games to the best-of-seven games. Zhang Hao thinks this makes sense. Habits are very important. Teams in the bottom half of the playoffs There are always many changes. If you make the playoffs this season, you may not make it next season, but the top teams in the first half of the playoffs usually only change every 3-4 years.
From the perspective of ¡®adaptability¡¯, the teams in the top half are not as strong as the teams in the bottom half who know how to fight hard.
In the end, thanks to Ben Wallace's first 20-point game in the playoffs in his career, 21 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 4 blocks, the Sonics defeated the Timberwolves 119-90 and advanced to the third seed 4-2. Second round!
Tonight, Ben Wallace made 9 of 9 shots from the field. He was in particularly good shape when cutting into the pie, and his second offense was also very stable. His teammates were all trying to find ways to pass the ball to him. He was very efficient, even Ben Wallace could do it. Use it as the main attack point.
Unfortunately, Ben Wallace only played 31 minutes tonight. Although he scored 21 points with 9 of 9 and 3 of 5 free throws, he only had 16 rebounds. He finally scored 20 points in a single game, but failed to get it. Double 20.
Ben Wallace has 20 rebounds 7 times in the regular season in his career, but only scored 20 points 2 times, and only 1 of them overlapped. In the playoffs, he has 20 rebounds 5 times, and scored 20 for the first time, but rebounded 20 times. Not on
When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received a system prompt
"The hidden mission has been completed, congratulations to the host, the Silver Level Medal: Wolf Roar has been upgraded to Gold Level"
