Chapter 372 371. King's only chance to win the scoring title
After playing for a few rounds, Zhang Yang understood Rondo's intention of responding on the spot.

The Kings' playing style is very different from what we see in the video. Although singles score accounts for a large proportion of the Kings' offense, it is only 20% to 30% higher than that of teams with more complete lineups. Most of the offense is still initiated by Rondo's breakthrough or pick-and-roll breakthrough and pass. In terms of traditional style of play, the Kings played like the Mavericks tonight.

This made it easy for Zhang Yang to guess what Rondo was thinking. He had too little experience in leading a team and always took things for granted.

Coach Long is good at analyzing games with a coaching mindset, which is an advantage, but it can sometimes become a flaw. For example, now, he made the wrong on-the-spot response due to lack of experience.

The Bobcats' schedule in April is extremely difficult. In the past five days, they have played the Magic, Spurs, and Hornets every other day. Now is the second game of a back-to-back game after three games in five days. They are in no condition to continue their team offense. Some players with average physical strength can't keep up. In the fourth quarter of the game against the Hornets last night, their offense collapsed, and they were purely supported by Zhang Yang's 4 points in a single quarter.

Therefore, Carlisle's game strategy today was to focus on singles and passing the ball. Rondo's unpredictable response actually helped several Bobcats' strong singles players to get into better shape.

Rondo was very angry when he was mocked by the third brother, but he was more angry at himself.

In the second quarter, Rondo switched back to his normal style of play and led the team in a team offense.

Kings head coach Reggie Theus did not correct Rondo's decision, letting Rondo operate freely. It didn't matter whether he played well or not. Their first-round pick this year was lottery protected, so it would be better if they lost more.

Seuss’ coaching ability is… not that great, but he knows what a player needs to grow.

He was also a powerful figure when he was a player. He was selected as an All-Star starter once and an All-Star substitute once. He was the Bulls' star player before Jordan and his position was also a shooting guard. After being sold to the Kings by the Bulls, he had to switch to point guard because the Kings had two first-class swingmen in Mike Woodson and Eddie Johnson. He stumbled in his first year, but in the second year he performed like a top point guard, averaging 1 points and 1 assists per game.

Based on Rondo's talent and personality, Seuss's way of training Rondo is to let him do what he wants, letting Rondo try and make mistakes. Anyway, the team has no requirements for good results, and the management would rather lose a few more games to increase the probability of drawing the No. 1 pick.

Look, Rondo quickly discovered his mistake in decision-making, and dared to face up to the error and actively adjust. His head coach, who was in a bad state, didn’t know how to adjust at this time, but Rondo could... But where did he learn this habit of grabbing the head coach’s tactical board?

As the ancients said, it is never too late to mend a broken fence. As the ancients also said, one wrong move can lead to a complete loss.

Although Rondo corrected his mistake in time, the opposing Bobcats had already gotten into the game.

Felton, Zhang Yang and Okafor scored the ball in singles, and no one on the Kings could defend them.

Kevin Martin is a big sieve. He was a dunk king with excellent defense in his school days, but he lost his defense during those years with the Warriors. Although his defensive attitude improved after changing teams, it was useless to defend Zhang Yang.

Okafor also has a very high hit rate when he drives into the paint, so he needs to be double-teamed.

Rondo is the best defender on the team, but like Paul, he can't defend against strong men. He is too thin and was crushed by Felton.

These three were actually okay, with Rondo leading the team in coordination, assisted by Kevin Martin's singles, the dunk king's three-pointers, and the occasional fast breaks. Although they were at a disadvantage, they were able to hold on.

The main reason is that the Kings' inside line is too weak, and they don't even have a decent blue-collar player. Hill and Millsap, when they are in good form, can wreak havoc when they break through.

The Kings' offense always slowed down, and the Bobcats played like the Mavericks in the past two years, with unlimited singles and unlimited firepower...

At 10:21:33 pm, Rondo threw the ball hard from the backcourt to the opposite basket. Maybe he wanted to score another goal to make the score better, or he wanted to vent his unwillingness to lose. Maybe he just threw the ball without any idea...

With a long whistle, the ball flew out of the opposite baseline and the game ended.

隆多15投6中，其中三分球7中2，加上4中3的罚球，拿到17分9板7助攻3抢断，打老东家又爆发了。

凯文-马丁24分2板2助攻、贾森-理查德森23分7板3助攻，表现也都在线。

Led by these three players, the Kings' outside offense was quite good. John Samuels and Francisco Garcia, two teammates with excellent shooting, scored 8 points and 7 points respectively. Backup point guard Udrih scored 4 points and 4 assists which was also acceptable. The six-man outside line combined to score 6 points.

但内线就惨淡了，5人轮换只拿到22分，除开霍伊斯10分6分2助攻，谢尔登-威廉姆斯、米基-摩尔、洛伦岑-赖特……等人加起来只拿到12分。

As for the Bobcats, the team scored 35 points in the first quarter, 32 points in the second quarter, 25 points in the third quarter, and 23 points in the final quarter. The Bobcats' score declined quarter by quarter, and was obviously affected by physical strength. However, after scoring 67 points in the first half to secure the victory, they maintained the double-digit advantage until the end.

费尔顿今晚13投7中，其中三分球5中3，加上3中2的罚球，拿到19分2板10助攻。

奥卡福10投6中，加上6中4的罚球，拿到16分14板。

Hill came off the bench and made 10 of 6 shots, plus 3 of 3 free throws, for 15 points, the highest score among the substitute players.

张杨24投14中，其中三分球7中3，加上5中4的罚球，拿到35分6板3助攻1抢断。

Led by the four players, the Bobcats defeated the Kings 115-103 and won 9 consecutive victories!

After the game, the boss helped a few people to comfort Rondo. Rondo knew that this group of bastards just wanted to bully him, but he still gritted his teeth and shook hands and hugged them.

After being beaten, the fat boss will not lose face easily. He must maintain the attitude of a big boss. Coach Long also wants to have such a status in the league, so of course he has to learn that attitude.

After Zhang Yang hugged Rondo and was about to go back to the locker room, he glanced at the big screen, which still had his stats... What's so good about 35 points? It also listed his three-point performance. He remembered that he only made 3 three-pointers... Eh?

"Fuck, my three-point shooting percentage is 40%!"

On the big screen, behind his three-point performance tonight were his total number of three-point attempts, total number of hits, and total hit rate in 80 games this season.

He took 7 three-pointers tonight, and his total three-pointers for the season has reached 480, with an average of 6 shots per game. He made a total of 192 three-pointers, an average of 2.4 per game, and a hit rate of 40%!

At the beginning of the season, when the Bobcats were bullying the weak teams and won more than ten games in a row, his three-point shooting percentage reached 43%. By Christmas, it dropped to 41%. In the middle of the season, it dropped to 36.7%. Before the end of the first half, it rebounded to 38%... After that, he didn't pay much attention to his shooting percentage. It was up to him to do whatever he wanted. If others dared to let him shoot because of his shooting percentage, he could do it. Unfortunately, no one left him alone, so his expectations were in vain.

Unexpectedly, by the end of the season, the three-point shooting percentage returned to 40%!
He thought about it and realized that the improvement in his shooting percentage was probably due to the period after the All-Star Weekend when he played extremely well. During that month, he followed the tactics completely and his shooting percentage was over 10% in 8 of the games. Naturally, his three-point shooting percentage would not be too low.

In the past half month after he started to formally implement the tactics, he was in good shape and his touch was always good... He increased his three-point shooting percentage from 28% to 38% in 40 games, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment!

The next day, a rest day, Zhang Yang slept until noon. The team did not arrange any training, but after lunch, he still came to the gym to practice for an hour.

The schedule is tight recently, so even he doesn't dare to go all out. He practiced extra today just to maintain his shooting form, and his shooting training has been continuous.

Hard work never fails, Zhang Yang felt it today.

His three-point shooting percentage reached 40% yesterday, which made him very happy, and something happy happened again today.

After an hour of shooting training, the 'Gate of Experience' popped up!
There was a sentence on the door: "Three-point shooting improved from 88 to 89. Please keep up the good work."

The three-pointer and mid-range shot are both 89! Only two points away from 90+ in all measurements!
Zhang Yang took the initiative to recall the top 10 timelines of his strongest abilities… When he was eliminated in the second round of the 2013 playoffs, his three-point shooting was 88!

His three-point ability surpasses what he would have had if he had grown up normally 5 years later!

No, more than that, on timeline 10, there was no improvement in talent at the beginning, but after his talent was improved, when he went to that timeline for training again, the improved talent was brought over.

Because his talent improved here, and his talent also improved there, but the improvement there came a little later, and the growth ceiling there would be affected because of his older age.

Based on his previous experience, his talent improvement and development of new skills would correspond to the end of the last training. The time between the end of the last training and his next training would be his growth period.

Zhang Yang knew that there would definitely be a day when he would surpass his "self" in experience, and the starting point would be completely different.

In the 10th timeline, when he was 21 years old and entered the NBA early, he was just a substitute with a certain combat effectiveness, and his defense was the priority. His subsequent strength improvement was based on that time;
In the 80 timeline, he entered the NBA after graduating from college. His strength was much stronger than when he just entered the NBA in the 10 timeline, and he was on a completely different level. When he was selected by the Celtics, except for the media and fans in Boston, the media and fans in other places were sure that his joining the team would bring improvement to this championship team, but he was only a sixth man, touched the threshold of a first-class scorer, and was mature in defense.

However, he still had more than a month to go before he turned 20, and he had already surpassed the one who was only one month away from 1. He was still very excited, even though he only surpassed him by three points!
He did not become complacent because of this, but instead wanted more.

If he wants to sit there, someone will come and give him the crown, instead of wearing the crown himself and being laughed at, he must constantly surpass himself!
...

After the excitement, he practiced another set of chase shots. His opponents paid more attention to this move, and the pressure on him to improve this move increased.

However, after finishing a set of training, he still resisted the urge to continue training because he had a competition tomorrow.

After taking a shower, he remembered that he had not yet offered incense to the Second Master when he came to the gym today, so he was about to make up for it, but the door of the boss's office was closed.

On his days off, Jordan would leave his office door open so that the boss could continue to burn incense. Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment and decided not to burn incense today, as it would be bad to disturb his boss and his Cuban mistress during their daytime activities.

Other things are easy to deal with, but if this kind of thing scares the boss to death, he will definitely hold a grudge against him.

Just when he was about to leave, the office door opened and a bald man came out...Ka Tu!
Zhang San: Damn, is the boss so ahead in the game?

But upon closer inspection, Baldy Bee, Randy Brown, Paul Silas and others were also there. Except for shooting coach Engelland who was packing up at the training ground, the coaching staff were all in the owner's office.

That should be a meeting.

Carlisle seemed startled when he saw Zhang Yang, and greeted him, "Jack, are you done with your training?"

Zhang Yang felt that the other party was weird, but he still replied: "Yes, I'm ready to go back."

Carlisle: "That's good. You should rest more on your days off. Although you have a good physique, you should pay more attention to your health...Would you like to burn incense to the God of Wealth before you go back?"

Zhang Yang: "Yes, after burning incense, we will go back to rest, play games with James, Carmelo and others, and relax. Did you just finish a meeting? Is there anything we can discuss at this time... about the draft? I remember that we only have one second-round pick. The Kings' first-round pick is lottery-protected. They are ranked 12th in the West, so we can only get their first-round pick next year."

"It's not about the draft. That's too early. Like you said, we only have one second-round pick, and it's one of the last few picks. The decision is not in our hands. Even if we like a player, he may be picked by another team in advance..."

Carlisle hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "We are here today to discuss the last two games with Michael."

Zhang Yang was puzzled and said, "There shouldn't be much to discuss about the last two opponents, right? We have played against the Bulls three times. Although we only played against the Lakers once a few months ago, their style of play is mature and stable. I think you should have already made preparations."

"The situation cannot keep up with the changes. There are always omissions. Jack, look, we just finished a back-to-back game. We performed very badly in the fourth quarter of both games. Now we have 61 wins, and the Pistons are currently 58 wins and 22 losses. We have already secured second place in the Eastern Conference..."

Seeing Carlisle's eyes flickering, Zhang Yang had a rough guess and asked, "Are you planning to give up the last two games and let us, the main players, rest and prepare for the playoffs?"

Hearing Zhang Yang's voice getting louder and louder, Carlisle quickly comforted him: "No, of course not."

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I've been looking forward to playing against the Lakers again and getting revenge for losing to them last time... Rick, what does that expression mean?"

Bickerstaff interjected: "Rick means that the people who are resting don't include you."

Zhang Yang: “…Huh?” Seeing Zhang Yang’s reaction, Carlisle turned his head away, not admitting it but not denying it either.

Seeing Katu's fearless look, Zhang San felt a thousand alpacas running through his heart. Katu has been with Bi Tu and Qiao Tu for a long time, so his face has become thicker and thicker!
Zhang Yang tried to calm down and asked, "Have you decided?"

Hearing this, Carlisle knew that although the bad boy was dissatisfied, he could understand the coaching staff's ideas. He resurrected on the spot and said, "It has been decided, but there is still a problem now."

This made Zhang Yang curious, and he asked, "We have 60 wins, and we have secured second place in the Eastern Conference. The Lakers have 64 wins, and the Bulls have 66 wins, and we can't surpass them. What other problems are there?"

Carlisle: "Tomorrow's game and the 18th's game will be broadcast live across the U.S. We are discussing what reasons we can use to prevent the main players from playing."

Zhang Yang was speechless and said, "So you actually wanted me to not fight at first, but after discussing it, you couldn't think of a reasonable excuse, so you had no choice but to let me fight?
And after you discussed it, the excuses you found to get others not to fight weren't good enough, so you could have kept this from me today and announced it tomorrow, but you told me first and wanted me to help you find a solution?"

Kato was very embarrassed. During the competition, when learning tactics and techniques, he hoped that Zhang San could be as smart as possible. But at this time, he didn't have to be so smart, or so direct... But it didn't matter, as long as he was not embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed.

Seeing Ka Tu's face getting thicker, Zhang San was helpless, but he could only help count the money and said, "Isn't it just an excuse for taking a day off? I just opened my mouth..."

...

On April 2008, 4, the Bobcats' penultimate game day arrived.

The fans' attention is focused on Charlotte, where there is a hot game today - the second-ranked Bobcats in the East vs. the first-ranked Lakers in the West.

In the later stages of the season, among the playoff teams, only five teams saw their winning percentages increase instead of decrease - the Bulls, Lakers, Bobcats, Spurs, and Hawks.

The most dazzling among them is the Bobcats, which went from 44 wins and 18 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference, to 61 wins, losing only one game during the period.

The Bulls and the Lakers are not that different. The Bulls have 18 wins and 15 losses in their last 3 games, and the Lakers have 18 wins and 14 losses in their last 4 games. It's just that they have always been very strong and their records have not fluctuated much, so everyone is used to it.

It's just that when everyone has more than 60 wins, the Bobcats' record of starting high, ending low and finally going out of control has become more talked-about.

The main reason is that no one, including the Bobcats themselves, thought that they could continue to refresh the best record in team history this season, and even join the "60-win club". As Okafor said, before the start of the season, their goal was to get 50 wins and be in the top four in the Eastern Conference. They couldn't be too embarrassed in the defending season.

The Bobcats' performance this season has made the two of them hot new stars.

One of them is naturally Zhang Yang, the scoring champion who is under 20 years old. The title of "the best scoring talent in history" is impossible for others to take it away, even with Jordan, Chamberlain and Kobe in front of him.

With only two games left, everyone thought Zhang Yang had already secured the top scoring spot.

At this time, people finally noticed the unlucky classmate King. In the last two games, James scored 36 points in one game and 26 points in another. On average, his average score remained the same. With the current score gap between him and Zhang Yang, he could average 55 points in the last two games, or maintain his average score in one game and score 80+ in the other...

In people's opinion, no one except Kobe could have overtaken in this situation.

Another popular person in the basketball world...Carlisle is bald and stronger!

The Bobcats can achieve such a record, the improvement of the players is secondary, the operation of the head coach is the real key.

When choosing the direction of the new season's play at the beginning of the season, Carlisle chose to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, trying his best to minimize the loss of strength caused by the loss of Gerald Wallace, focusing on offense, temporarily putting aside team defense, and raising the team's offense to the extreme.

During Felton's injury in the middle of the season, Carlisle made orderly arrangements, and although the team's record declined a lot, it barely managed to avoid collapse.

The system transformation in the late season was even more eye-catching, especially after Popovich's unwarranted praise, Carlisle became even more popular.

Popovich is deliberately disgusting the Bobcats with the intention of flattering them. Not to mention the negative impact it has brought to the Bobcats, the most positive impact is that it allows people to more clearly understand how excellent Carlisle's system-building ability is.

The media even rehashed Carlisle's past highlights as a coach - the system he built for the Pistons to win the 04 championship, and how in his first year with the Pacers he turned this ordinary playoff team that had 48 wins and was eliminated in the first round into a championship-contending team with 61 wins and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Many fans do not know about these things because it was Larry Brown who led the Pistons to win the championship in 04. The most impressive thing about the Pacers in recent years was the Palace of Auburn Hills incident. Carlisle's image was relatively negative in these incidents.

So Carlisle was very hesitant before coming to the Bobcats. If he came to this defending champion team as the head coach and his coaching performance was not good, his coaching career would most likely be ruined here.

The efforts were not in vain. Although many media still believe that the Bobcats' playoff prospects are not good and that a purely offensive team will have a hard time in the playoffs, all media praised Carlisle's coaching performance this season!
However, no matter how much the coach is praised, it is just a side topic among the fans. The focus of the fans' heated discussions today is still related to Zhang Yang.

The topic when Zhang Yang just surpassed James is now hot again - after the previous super scoring champion 'didn't compete' for the scoring title, the new scoring champion was born, wearing the No. 3 jersey. This time, the situation is very similar!
Just when the media and fans were hyping up the focus battle between the Bobcats and the Lakers, the Bobcats suddenly announced a news.

At 11:30 am, Carlisle contacted the media and announced a sad news.

After the morning preparations were completed, when the players were taking a shower and cleaning, Felton's soap accidentally fell to the ground. When Okafor was helping to pick up the soap, he accidentally stepped on it, fell to the ground, and knocked Felton down, and both were injured.

The team doctor diagnosed that Felton had a hip muscle contusion and Okafor had a thigh strain. They will miss today's game and their return is undetermined...

...

At 8:40 p.m., the Lakers and Bobcats entered the Turkish Airlines Arena one after another.

Kobe looked at Felton, who was wearing a suit and had a sullen face, and Okafor, who had a blank expression, behind the opposing bench... He was very curious, who came up with such a ridiculous excuse for the injury?
Or is it true?

Cold-faced men are generally introverted and sultry. Kobe also usually has a cold face and has more strange thoughts in his mind than ordinary people.

Feeling Kobe's strange gaze, Okafor's expression was wooden and Felton was about to burst.

Xiaofei: Damn Kabal, he only said that he wouldn’t let me play in the last two games, he didn’t say that he wouldn’t let me play like this!
In fact, Felton didn't think there was anything wrong with the reason for the injury at first. It was very reasonable. He accidentally fell while picking up the soap. Isn't that normal?

It wasn't until his younger brother put the computer in front of him during lunch break that he saw the comment section of the news about his absence due to injury...his worldview was blown away!
Felton could only comfort himself - the head coach was just looking for a reasonable excuse and he certainly didn't expect netizens to be so dirty.

Carlisle was about to break up, but he had to pretend he knew nothing.

He regretted it. He should not have told Zhang Yang earlier. It didn't matter if the excuse was a little lame. Even if he might be criticized by the alliance, it was better than this excuse!

He said, how could a damn bad kid be so obedient and help find a solution after being wronged...

And he couldn't explain to Felton that the reason was not what he thought of. How was that different from provoking the team members?
I can only swallow the bitter tears.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the Bobcats' home game against the Lakers started.

Lakers starting lineup: Kidd, Kobe, Ariza, Garnett, Kwame Brown.

The Lakers completed a small trade before the trade deadline, trading Brian Cook to the Magic for Ariza.

This deal did not cause much response at the time. At that time, Tieza was just a fringe rotation player who was despised by the Magic team's one-star-four-star strategy. In the first half of the season, he only got 11 appearances and averaged 3 points and 2 rebounds per game.

阿里扎到湖人队后打了24场比赛，场均打16分钟，拿到5.5分3.1板1助攻1.1抢断，妥妥的伪首发，场均7分3板3助攻的卢克-沃顿担任第二阵容战术核心。

Bobcats starting lineup: Tyronn Lue, Zhang Yang, Hill, Millsap, and Muhammad.

Felton and Okafor are resting, and the two Millers are placed on the bench. Their playing time will be reduced a lot. Zhang Yang's main helpers tonight are Hill, Millsap, Perkins, Jarrett Jack, Alan Anderson, Pietrus, Muhammad and others.

The two teams' lineups on paper are very different, and their performances...are also quite different. However, Zhang Yang still shines brightly.

Kobe defended at the top of the arc, Kidd and Garnett helped defend on the wings, and Kwame Brown was under the basket. Zhang Yang put aside his one-on-one play and fully cooperated with the starters Millsap and Hill and the substitute Brad Miller, running around looking for opportunities to catch the ball and shoot.

However, he wants to devote all his energy to shooting in tactics, and the proportion of singles is still very high.

Garnett's ability to cover the entire mid-range and short-range defense by himself was too buggy, which dealt a fatal blow to the opponent's running, passing and cutting style.

The Bobcats were well prepared on the tactical level. They were mainly responsible for containment on the weak side tonight, focusing on running, passing, cutting and pulling the opponent's defense on the strong side. However, Okafor was not there, so the effect of compressing the opponent's defense decreased. Mike Miller was a strong-side shooter, and Felton was not there on the weak side, so the containment was much smaller... The final result was that Zhang Yang's singles ratio was actually higher than usual.

But he was not afraid. Shoot! Shoot! Shoot again! He was determined to score!
The score in the first quarter was 30 to 22, with the Lakers leading by 8 points. In the second quarter, the Bobcats stepped up and scored 25 to 25, preventing the Lakers from widening the gap to double digits.

In the third quarter, Zhang Yang made 9 of 6 shots, including 3 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 1 free throws, for a total of 15 points in the quarter, leading the team to 28 points. He fought back and forth with the Lakers, who scored 29 points, and tied the score at 75 to 84 after three quarters.

不过，相比山猫队张杨一枝独秀，湖人队第三节上了9个球员，有8人得分，科比第三节7分2助攻、基德4分3助攻、加内特2分2板、费舍尔5分、武贾西奇3分、卢克-沃顿2分2板2助攻……

In the final quarter, Zhang Yang scored in double digits for the third consecutive quarter after scoring 8 points in the first quarter, 11 points in the second quarter, and 15 points in the third quarter. He made 11 of 4 shots, including 2 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 3 free throws for 12 points, but the Bobcats eventually collapsed.

In addition to his 12 points, only Muhammad got 2 points and 6 rebounds with 5 offensive rebounds and a steal, Brad Miller made two mid-range shots, and no fourth player scored.

The Lakers tried their best to defend in the final quarter, but the score was not high. Kobe scored 8 points and the whole team only scored 20 points, but it was enough for them to hold on to the victory!
科比31分3板4助攻2抢断、基德8分10板9助攻、加内特18分10板6助攻……强压34投拿到46分的张杨！

Zhang Yang made 34 of 16 shots, including 9 of 5 three-pointers, and 11 of 9 free throws. It's not that he didn't want to shoot more three-pointers, but he didn't have the chance. Kobe, Kidd, and Ariza took turns to stick to him. Who could stand it? He was able to make these three-pointers because of his quick shots and good touch.

A few months passed, and he began to miss the boss again...

...

The 9-game winning streak was ended, and the record was reduced to 61 wins and 20 losses. Even if he understood the coaching staff's choice and "retaliated" against Kabal, he felt relieved. However, Zhang Yang was still unwilling to accept the loss.

The Lakers showed no signs of breaking out, they just played steadily in offense and defense. Kobe responded to Zhang San's 27 points in the second half by just scoring 7 and 8 points as usual, and crushed them.

But the next morning, when Zhang Yang got up, he felt physically tired... and his understanding deepened.

Although the recent schedule consists of consecutive home games, the intensity is no less than the 4 consecutive away games in the Southwest Division and the 4 consecutive away games in the Pacific Division!
From the 9th to the 16th, there are 8 days and 5 games, including 1 back-to-back game in the middle. Except for the Kings, the other four teams are all in the top four in the East and West.

When the league was arranging the schedule, it probably didn't expect the Magic and Hornets to rise so strongly, especially the Hornets, who once dominated the Western Conference and are still ranked third in the Western Conference. However, the Magic have Okafor's nemesis Howard, and the Hornets have Paul, one of the four No. 3 players. They are definitely popular games arranged by the league. Only the Kings are a real bonus.

Zhang San, whose recovery ability was compared with that of the Masked Man by fans, felt tired rarely the next morning after playing all five games in a row, let alone his teammates.

While Zhang San was feeling depressed, King was already numb.

At this time, the media and fans finally noticed that he was on the scoring list. The latest topic was - the only possibility for King to win the scoring title was to surpass Chamberlain's 100 points!
