Chapter 196 195. Dwyane, do you think O'Neal is too old? (8000 words)
At noon on the morning of the 24th, the Bobcats left Charlotte and headed for Washington, DC.

On the plane, Felton flipped through the newspaper and complained: "Yesterday, people were still hyping whether we had an advantage against Western Conference teams, but today, few media outlets are still reporting on this news."

Gerald Wallace, who was chatting with the boss today, responded: "Things like that are only worth hyping when they are not confirmed. Once they are confirmed, they are not important."

Felton: "Of course I know that if we beat the Clippers, there wouldn't be any such topic, but we cared so much about it yesterday and now we feel very uncomfortable."

Gerard Wallace thought about it and agreed: "Yeah, now I think I was a fool for caring so much about my face yesterday."

Zhang Yang interjected, "Just think of it as a little more exposure. This kind of topic may seem meaningless in retrospect, but if there is more of this kind of insignificant exposure, it will look great, and the commercial value may increase."

The two leaders thought of that person when they heard this and felt that it made sense.

What Rondo and Okafor heard was: You can feel stupid, but please don't take me with you.

Gerald Wallace sat and chatted with the Boss Gang for a while, then went to play cards with Muhammad and others to heal his wounds.

It has been more than ten days since his comeback, and his focus has been on how to get back into the game.

Last night, I finally broke out under the pressure of Artest's terrifying defense and got my playing feeling back. But before I had time to be happy, I found out that he was not in that month, and I ran away!
Matt Carroll, one of Felton's younger brothers, was traded away, but the one traded back was Jarrett Jack, who was in the same class as Felton and from the same agency as Zhang Yang. Felton has many followers, and he even pried away his crown prince's younger brother Millsap!

After getting on the plane, Gerald Wallace saw Millsap and other members of the "Big Boss Gang" sitting together and chatting. He went over to listen and found out why they ran away.

Felton and Millsap were analyzing the areas where Artest did not do well in defending him last night and teaching them how to confront him.

Okafor and Millsap analyze how to use their physical advantages against players like Brad Miller who rely on their brains to defend.

When the crown prince and his brothers talked about the game, they focused on the passion...

To be honest, when Gerald Wallace heard Felton and Okafor patiently teaching Millsap how to play basketball, he wanted to "rebel against the Fighting Group". He gained a lot from what the two taught Millsap, so after listening, he chatted with a few people before going to play cards.

But as the leader of the "Struggle Group", he would not defect unless all the members of the team ran away.

He is about the same age as Felton and entered the NBA four years earlier. It is absolutely impossible for him to be Felton's younger brother!

...

After a night of rest in Washington, DC, on March 3, the Bobcats came to the Verizon Center to challenge the Wizards away.

Starting from today this week, the Bobcats will play every other day, two consecutive away games and two consecutive home games, and their opponents are the Wizards and the Heat.

The end of March and the beginning of April are another period of low ratings for the NBA regular season. These four games were the ones that the league had planned to focus on before the start of the season.

This time the Jew made the right bet. The first game of this wave of the Bobcats' schedule brought a small peak in ratings in late March when the overall ratings of the league were low. It was the game after the start of March 3rd on March 3th, and the number of viewership exceeded 16 million before the second NBA game started to be booked in advance with advance payment.

The new Bad Boys VS the Wizards' Three Musketeers, the topic is very high.

Fans are very interested in the match between Bad Boy Jack, who threw 46 times and scored 82 points in the rookie game, and Agent Zero Arenas, who won the head-on confrontation with Kobe 60-45.

No. 24 obviously had nothing to do with this game, but the commentator kept talking about the blacksmith.

The last game in the Crazy Three Phase with over 51 million paid viewers was Kobe's game, the Los Angeles derby, a battle for a playoff spot between the Lakers and the Clippers. Kobe scored 11 points, the 50th time this season that he scored + in a single game.

过去12场比赛，科比拿到8次单场50+，将场均得分从28.3分干到了场均31.3分，反超场均29.9分的阿里纳斯重返得分榜榜首。

Although there is still one week left in March and the Lakers still have three games to play, Kobe has already been regarded as a lock for the Western Conference Player of the Month in March. He averaged 3 points in 3 games. At the end of February, Kobe played 3 games. Based on the 12 games played, the 45.1 games increased his scoring average by 2 points... Even if he plays badly in the last 55 games, Kobe's monthly average of 55+ points is secure, and the Player of the Month is also secure.

The title of 'the best player in the world' was earned this month.

The media and fans generally believe that Kobe's performance this month is even better than last season's scoring surge from 62 points in three quarters to 81 points in a single game. Some even believe that Kobe this month is far better than the Kobe who scored 81 points and is closer to Michael Jordan.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Bobcats' away game against the Wizards will start.

The Bad Boys and the Three Musketeers did not disappoint the fans in front of the TV, they started off with a wild performance.

Arenas played well tonight, he shot when he should and passed when he should.

When Kobe just took away the scoring title a while ago, Arenas tried to overtake him by scoring points...but he quickly gave up and tried to fight for a playoff spot.

今晚三剑客飙分凶猛，阿里纳斯25投12中，其中三分球10中4，加上9中7的罚球，拿到全场最高的35分；贾米森27投13中，其中三分球7中4，加上4中4的罚球，拿到全场第二高的34分；卡隆-巴特勒也有15投8中拿到26分。

But the Bad Boys scored even more points!

张杨24投14中，其中三分球4中2，加上2中2的罚球，拿到32分。

Although his scoring was not as good as Agent Zero and the defensive gentleman on the opposing team, his efficiency was higher!

加上费尔顿的17分12助攻、隆多的11分11板12助攻、奥卡福17分8板、杰拉德-华莱士21分5板3助攻、穆罕穆德13分4板、贾莱特-杰克11分4助攻……

Six players of the Bobcats scored in double figures and the team got 6 assists, setting a new single-game assist record in team history. If it weren't for the No. 36 player who was too dragging the team down, they might have been able to get 3 assists.

126比118，山猫队8分险胜奇才队，将战绩提升到48胜23负！
After the game, the most talked-about topic was not the several head-on confrontations between Zhang Yang and Arenas, nor the Wizards' outside shooting and the Bobcats' offensive battle, but Rondo's triple-double!
Rondo, who played 70 games and averaged 4.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, was hotly debated by fans during the All-Star Weekend as to whether he could get a triple-double in his rookie season.

At that time, Rondo was averaging 5+ assists per game, with 4 double-digit assists, 3 double-digit rebounds, and even a game in which he had double-digit rebounds and assists but not double-digit points. Rondo was nicknamed "Little Kidd" because of this.

Finally, in the 71st game, Rondo got his first triple-double in his career!

Rondo also relied on this game to increase his average points per game to 5 points, becoming a player averaging 5+5+5.

After the game, Zhang Yang returned to the hotel and saw the news that Coach Long was called by the fans... and was called one of the two most amazing geniuses in the East and West together with Livingston.

The shooting talents of both of them are hopeless. Livingston has almost no scoring ability at the basket and outside the three-point line. Forget about the three-pointer. As a two-meter-tall player, he only takes two shots per game at the basket. He is too thin. If a shooting guard or small forward touches him when he enters the basket, he can't keep his balance.

Rondo's close range shooting percentage is very good, up to 60%, higher than Zhang Yang and Felton, two starting teammates. His "stealing step" can score when the opponent's inside players are not paying attention, but outside the three-second zone...

Zhang Yang felt happy to see that Rondo's free throw percentage finally broke 71% after playing 60 games.

The progress is slow, but any progress is better than no progress.

If Rondo can improve to a 33% three-point shooting percentage and a 70% free throw shooting percentage during his rookie contract... then there is a high probability that he will not be able to stay in the future. Zhang Yang remembers that Rondo never had a season with a 70% free throw shooting percentage in his entire career. He hopes that Rondo can improve his free throw shooting under the guidance of Engelland.

Of course, he hopes that his teammates will get better and better in the future. If they are not getting better and better, how can he be so free and easy and just focus on scoring like he is now?

...

After playing against the Wizards, the Bobcats went south to the real South Coast Miami, rested for a night, and challenged the Heat away on the 27th.

The showdown between the bad boy Jack and the new generation king Flash once again triggered a small climax in ratings. The Jewish man bet on the Bad Boys Legion, an emerging strong team, to increase ratings at the end of March, and he really made the right bet.

The Heat have played 72 games so far, with 36 wins and 36 losses, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference.

奥尼尔全明星周末后出勤率终于高了一些了，赛季出场次数有望提升到40次，表现也在回暖，最近6场比赛分别拿到32分、18分、15分、12分、21分、20分，场均19.6分8板，这段时间得分排在东部中锋第一。

After the Knicks collapsed, Eddy Curry lost the leadership of the high-spirited Marbury and began to play according to the weather. His average points per game in March plummeted to 3 points, and his season average points per game is about to fall below 12. Otherwise, the 'No. 20 center in the Eastern Conference' would still be the Little Shark.

Although Wade has been plagued by injuries this season and has only played 41 games so far, his attendance rate is comparable to O'Neal's, making him the second brother, let alone the eldest brother.

But his averages of 27.6 points, 7.6 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, except for rebounds, are all career highs. He deserves the title of the king of the new generation!
After both players recovered their health at the end of the regular season, the Heat returned to sixth place in the Eastern Conference, having been overtaken by the Knicks and ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the game, which was broadcast live in both Rabbit and Eagle countries, began.

Okafor started the game aggressively, first defeating O'Neal in a jump ball, then going to the frontcourt to lean on O'Neal, receiving a pass from Zhang Yang, turning into the basket and dunking with one hand to score two points, showing tough performance!
When Zhang Yang saw this scene, he thought of a saying: After Lu Bu's death, no one is weaker than Wen Hou.

Although I felt a little embarrassed, the scene before my eyes really had a bit of the meaning of "a tiger in dire straits being bullied by a dog".

When it was the Heat's turn to attack, O'Neal angrily dropped to the low post and squeezed Perkins for the ball... then helplessly passed the ball back to White Chocolate.

His weight of 160 kg does make him stronger and more powerful, but his explosive power is far less than when he weighed 146 kg last season. Okafor shrank prematurely, and when he received the ball, he and Perkins immediately clamped him. He could no longer move the two players apart and dunk directly as flexibly as before, and almost made a mistake.

He gave up competing with the youngster, thinking it was not worth it, and put his limited physical strength and energy into defense.

White Chocolate passed the ball to Wade, and Wade started playing the role of both father and mother and nanny mode, scoring and organizing the offense!

Wade is known as the king of the new generation. The core lineup of the Bobcats are between 18 and 24 years old, and they are all considered new generation players. If you take one of them alone, no one can match Wade, but they are outnumbered!

In the first quarter, the Bobcats played 8 players, including Felton, Zhang Yang, Gerald Wallace, Okafor, Perkins, Rondo, Alan Anderson and Millsap. All 8 players scored. Okafor and Alan Anderson each scored 6 points. The whole team worked together to lead the Heat by 29 points with 22 to 7.

This was because O'Neal focused his energy on protecting the basket on the defensive end and limiting the scoring of Gerald Wallace, Millsap and Rondo in positional battles. Otherwise, with everyone working together tonight, the Bobcats would have scored more than 29 points in the first quarter.

The Bobcats also did an excellent job on defense. They fielded players who were capable of defense. Jarrett Jack, Herman, Jumaine Jones and other players who were strong on offense but weak on defense were not substituted in the first quarter. If it weren't for Wade's 5-of-3 shooting and 3-of-2 free throws in the first quarter to get 8 points and 3 assists, it would have been difficult for the Heat to score 20 points.

However, 8 points in a single quarter is not Wade's limit!

In the second quarter, the Bobcats continued to perform well on offense, scoring 28 points in a single quarter, but their defense collapsed!
Wade faced the rotation defense of Felton, Jarrett Jack, Gerald Wallace, and Alan Anderson. He played for 9 minutes, made 6 of 4 shots, plus 7 of 5 free throws, and scored 13 points, leading the Heat to 27 points in a single quarter and stabilized the situation!

After the halftime break, Bickerstaff decided to re-strengthen the defense.

We were already leading by 57 points, 49 to 8. This choice was fine and was executed very well.

只用费尔顿和杰拉德-华莱士两人防韦德，效果比贾莱特-杰克和阿兰-安德森分担防守时好得多得多，韦德第三节6投2中加上2中2的罚球只拿到6分，热火队其他人出手14次只拿到13分，山猫队将热火队限制得单节只拿到19分。

But O'Neal played the entire quarter and went wild on the defensive end, scoring 3 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks. He led teammates including Payton, Wade, Eddie Jones, Haslem, White Chocolate, Mourning and others, and prevented the Bobcats from scoring only 14 points!
After three quarters, the Bobcats led 71 to 68, and the difference was narrowed to 3 points!
In the final quarter, the two teams returned to the same starting line and resumed the confrontation. In the first 11 minutes and 31 seconds, the Heat scored 21 to 18. Wade played the first 11 and a half minutes, scored 7 points and 3 assists, leading the team to tie the score to 89 to 89.

The Bobcats called a timeout. Facing Wade's defense, Zhang Yang backed up from the high post, turned around and took a mid-range shot... Wade pounced on Zhang Yang and knocked him to the ground, but he couldn't stop the shot!
Zhang Yang's goal is valid and a penalty will be added!
With Zhang Yang's free throw, the Bobcats regained a 92-point lead with 89 to 3.

But the game is not over yet! The Heat called a timeout, and Wade, who was already unable to break through, used a screen to shake off Felton, accelerated past Okafor who was switching defense and rushed into the inside. Gerald Wallace moved in from the wing, and Wade passed the ball to Kapono...

Tonight, Kapono was Wade's most powerful assistant on the offensive end. He made 11 of 7 shots in the first three quarters, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 17 points. If Kapono had not hit those open three-pointers, the Heat would not have been able to catch up to 8 points.

At the critical moment, Capono made another contribution, hitting a three-pointer after receiving the ball, increasing his personal score to 20 points, and helping the Heat tie the score at the last moment, dragging the game into overtime!

首节8分、第二节13分、第三节6分、末节7分，韦德今晚20投12中，加上14中10的罚球，拿到34分，表现狂暴。但到了加时赛……常规时间打了40分钟的韦德崩了！
Among the players who are both fathers and mothers, Wade's physical strength is only better than McGrady, and the gap is obvious compared with Kobe, Idson and others.

ESPN data analyst Hollins has studied Wade's games. When Wade is responsible for scoring, organizing offense, and defending, his best playing time is 30-33 minutes. To get more playing time, he has to rely on willpower to persevere.

Sometimes a strong will can lead to an explosion when physical strength is exhausted, but that thing is unreliable and I didn’t explode tonight.

On the other hand, Zhang Yang had very little playing time in the second half. He was normal in the first half, with 9 minutes in the first quarter and 6 minutes in the second quarter. But after the defense couldn't be stopped in the third quarter, Bickerstaff only let him play for 3 minutes. In the final quarter, Bickerstaff let him play after the official timeout. He played for 5 and a half minutes and only 23 minutes in regular time.

When the situation got out of control during the third quarter, Bickerstaff knew that his decision to take a halftime break was a mistake.

Even though the 35-year-old Shark is in poor form, when he devotes all his energy to the defensive end, his rim protection ability is still among the best in the league, and his ability to withstand impact is second to none except Yao Ming.

Bickerstaff is not a stubborn or face-saving person. He should admit his mistakes, replace Zhang Yang to let him rest more, and let others fight hard and prepare for the last moment. This time he made the right decision!

Now, Zhang Yang is in his best form! In the last shot of regular time, he scored 2+1 against Wade, showing his current good offensive form.

After the overtime started, Zhang Yang made a three-pointer after catching the ball and turning around under Wade's pursuit, and Wade really couldn't keep up.

At 2 minutes and 11 seconds into overtime, Zhang Yang made a step-back mid-range shot against Wade; at 2 minutes and 33 seconds, Zhang Yang broke into the paint and made a layup; at 3 minutes and 06 seconds, Zhang Yang made a counterattack layup, helping the Bobcats to make the overtime score 13 to 6, widening the gap to 7 points and securing the victory!

In the last minute or so, both teams only scored 3 points. Okafor scored 2+1 at the basket, and O'Neal made a tip-in to return a 2+1 to Okafor. There were no other points.

At 11:44 pm, the final whistle sounded.

张杨首节4分、第二节3分、第三节吃蛋、末节5分，只拿到12分，但在加时赛拿到9分，全场出场28分钟，常规时间11投4中、加时赛6投4中，全场17投8中，其中三分球6中2，加上3中3的罚球，拿到21分5板2助攻2盖帽！

The Heat scored 9 points in overtime, with O'Neal scoring 3 points, Kapono scoring 3 points, and White Chocolate scoring 3 points... It was Wade's turn to lose in overtime.

费尔顿今晚16投6中拿到16分6助攻、奥卡福20分8板、杰拉德-华莱士13分4板2助攻2抢断6盖帽、阿兰-安德森12分7板1助攻、隆多4分6板5助攻、朱梅因-琼斯11分……

奥尼尔今晚14分15板2助攻2抢断5盖帽、韦德34分4板12助攻、卡波诺23分2板……

张杨加时赛9分2板1助攻1盖帽，率队以108比101险胜热火队！
After the game, the Heat's No. 3 looked at the other team's No. 3 being celebrated by his teammates, feeling unwilling, frustrated, yet powerless... and more angry.

He was quite lucky, as in his sophomore year he met the Great Shark who was still at the end of his peak and was willing to help him. However, the Great Shark only maintained his peak for two years and collapsed after winning the championship.

Having reached the peak too early, his mentality is very different from other players of his generation, and he is much more unwilling to accept defeat than other players of his generation.

Moreover, he couldn't escape from here, and had to accept the post-match interview with the opponent's No. 3...

The Bobcats celebrated for two minutes, and Zhang Yang was taken away by the reporter of the Imperial TV Station to conduct a live interview with Wade after the "No. 3 Showdown".

Facing the camera, Wade displayed the professionalism that a top professional athlete should have, and smiled as he congratulated Zhang Yang on his victory.

But when asked about the reason for the loss, Wade said: "The Bobcats have a lot of outstanding players. Their young players have performed very well, such as Jack, Felton, Rondo, Okafor, Perkins... They all have their own characteristics. Their head coach combined their advantages and played a performance that surpassed our current performance."

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile before the reporter could: "Dwyane, do you mean that you think O'Neal, Mourning, and Payton are too old? Riley's coaching ability is also not good enough? Isn't your rookie contract about to end? Come to us, we can sign you without a contract."

Wade almost fell down when he heard this. No, why did the No. 3 suddenly become so venomous? He was just being sarcastic, so what?
O'Neal, who was secretly approaching and trying to get a shot, almost fell to the ground.

During the game, O'Neal was very angry about young players like Okafor and Perkins who wanted to challenge him and beat him, but after the game... if he lost, he lost. He just had to play hard during the game and didn't think too much about it after the game. Anyway, he already had one more championship than Kobe.

O'Neal thought about how the bad boy Jack seemed to glance at him when he was sneaking up on him just now... Wow!
Are you so vindictive? Didn't he just use you to tease Kobe at the All-Star Game? Do you still hold a grudge against him?

O'Neal slipped away. If he went over to him again, who knows what scary words this bad boy would say. Let the Flash bear it alone. The Big Shark played for 38 minutes tonight and is tired. He is going back to sleep...

...

After winning two consecutive away games, the Bobcats' record reached 49 wins and 23 losses, finally tying the Pistons!

However, due to a 1-2 record in direct confrontations, the Bobcats can only rank second in the Eastern Conference.

On the 28th, the Bobcats returned to Charlotte, and they will continue to play against the Wizards and Heat on the 29th and 31st.

With 49 wins already, the Bobcats players are eager to become the fourth team in the league to get 4 wins before the Pistons.

The Mavericks' winning streak has just been ended again, this time by the Suns. Their record is now 58 wins and 14 losses, with 10 games left. It seems that they are on track to get 68 wins, the third best record in history.

马刺队54胜18负，60胜在望，如果拿到60胜，他们将成为NBA历史上第6支能够连续两个赛季至少60胜的球队。

The Suns currently have 51 wins and 20 losses, with 11 games left to play. They have a chance to hit 60 wins, but not as big as the Spurs. Nash's injury before and after the All-Star Weekend had a huge impact on the Suns and also caused Nash to lose his hope of winning three consecutive MVPs.

On the 29th, the Bobcats will face the Wizards at home.

The Bobcats played hard in the first quarter, but their offense was terrible, and the impact of the positional defense against the Sharks spread to tonight.

Zhang Yang made 7 of 4 shots in the first quarter, including 2 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 9 points, but the team only scored 19 points, while the Wizards scored 31 points. The Bobcats were 12 points behind at the start.

In the second quarter, the Wizards' touch declined and they only scored 24 points. The Bobcats counterattacked several times and scored 25 points, keeping the score close at the end of the half.

But in the third quarter, the Wizards regained their momentum and scored 34 points in a single quarter. The Bobcats also got their offensive feel in the third quarter and scored 31 points, but the opponent was too fierce and the score difference not only did not narrow, but was widened to 14 points.

In the final quarter, the Bobcats finally took the initiative and scored 33 points in a single quarter, but they couldn't suppress the opponent's offense. The Wizards scored 26 points in the final quarter...

Not long ago, Zhang Yang joked that others scored 50 points but were beaten by Yao and McGrady, and joined the group of people who scored in vain. Tonight he was also beaten.

With 33 of 17 shots, including 8 of 4 three-pointers, plus 7 of 6 free throws, Zhang Yang scored 44 points tonight, scoring his fourth single-game 4+ this season, but it was in vain...

阿里纳斯27分13助攻、贾米森25分9板、卡隆-巴特勒18分、安东尼奥-丹尼尔斯21分、德肖恩-史蒂文森10分……奇才队5人得分上双，以115比108险胜山猫队，将战绩提升到36胜37负，反超俩小时前又输球了战绩下滑到36胜38负的热火队，冲到东部第六！

One day later, on March 3, the Bobcats faced the Heat at home.

The Bobcats suffered a chain reaction after losing to the Wizards.

The Heat lost two games in a row, not only were they overtaken by the Wizards, but they were also overtaken by the Nets, who also had a 36-38 record but directly defeated them. They fell to eighth in the Eastern Conference, with the Magic catching up behind them!
O'Neal is not a person who doesn't care about winning or losing, he just takes it easy after the game. Before and during the game, he still desires victory... Kobe has a high probability of making it to the playoffs, and he can't fail to make it.

And they are the defending champions! It would be a shame for the defending champions not to make the playoffs.

There have been precedents in NBA history of defending champions not making the playoffs. The Celtics and the Bulls each had one experience, but Russell retired for the Celtics and Jordan retired for the Bulls, but Shaq has not retired yet.

Led by O'Neal, the veteran players of the Heat had a collective explosion on the defensive end tonight!
At 11:23 pm, the game, which lasted 2 hours and 23 minutes, ended.

张杨看着大屏幕上83比92的比分……他20分、费尔顿14分、贾莱特-杰克12分，队友们没其他人得分上双了。

对面韦德18分6助攻、埃迪-琼斯15分6板、奥尼尔10分11板4助攻4盖帽、莫宁5分8板3盖帽、佩顿10分5助攻、卡波诺14分、白巧克力8分4助攻2抢断……

Zhang Yang: A group of old guys are playing so hard, you deserve to win. I hope you can finally hold on to the sixth place and play against the Bulls!
I meant well to prevent you from meeting the Bulls, but you don’t appreciate it!
...

The next day, a new month arrived and the regular season came to an end.

All four games last week were broadcast live, and the treatment was very good. It was broadcast live in both Chinese and English, and the treatment was maximum. However, the games all ended around 4:11, and Zhang Yang slept until 9 o'clock this morning.

His mentality exploded last night, but he adjusted himself after a good night's sleep.

There are still 7 games to play, and 50 wins are a matter of time.

Before the start of the season, their goal was just to win 50 games, but now they are almost there, so there is no need to rush... If they don't think this way, it may affect their mood in the following games.

At noon, Zhang Yang received a call from the team, informing him that he had won the Player of the Week award for the third time this season!
It was April 4st. He had no plans to go out. His mother asked him to go home for dinner but he didn't go.

Based on his understanding of his biological mother, he would definitely be made fun of.

He thought someone in the team was joking with him, how could he get the Player of the Week award with 2 wins and 2 losses... When he opened the official website, he saw that it was true!
2胜2负，4场比赛分别拿到32分、21分、44分、20分，场均29.25分，拿奖了。

After looking at his competitors...he is indeed the one with the best overall performance this week, and the second highest vote recipient is Carter.

詹姆斯场均26+8+8，但骑士队只有1胜3负，战绩下滑到43胜31负，还剩8场比赛没打，基本上没机会拿到50胜了。

韦德场均29+4+7，也只有1胜3负。

卡特倒是有3胜1负，还率队冲到了东部第七，但这一周数据只有场均22分6板3助攻。

The player of the week in the Western Conference was Ginobili, who won all four games and averaged 4 points, 20 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

The monthly best awards were also announced at the same time.

东部，上个月率领篮网队打出9胜6负的战绩冲到东部第七、场均24.4分6板4.2助攻的卡特拿奖。

In the West, Kobe Bryant won the award after averaging 15 points in 44.2 games last month.

Zhang Yang browsed the news for a while, then received a call from Tellem. He returned to his room, opened the closet, and left the apartment five minutes later to go to the restaurant he had arranged with the reporter... He had won the award, so he went to be interviewed...

After a day of rest, on April 4, the Bobcats continued their preparations.

Before the meeting, Felton took the lead to motivate his teammates: "There are 8 games left, and our goal is to win them all! We have already broken the team's record for wins, and we must break this record even higher!
This season is like this, and it will be like this next season too. Just think about it, if all of us work hard and set a big record that future Bobcats players will never be able to surpass, wouldn’t it be wonderful just to think about that scene…

Get rid of James!

Zhang San also followed his teammates in shouting the slogan "Kill James". Just as he expected, the fat boss's pre-match mobilization would eventually turn out like this.

Their opponent tomorrow is the Cavaliers. No matter how much they say, it is not as strong as saying "get rid of James".

Qiangqiang, I didn’t stay up late last night. I wrote until 10:4 and then went to bed because I felt sleepy. I set an alarm at before going to bed. I have finished writing a big chapter and will update it first~ Please give me your monthly vote!
