Chapter 206 The Final Battle in March
After playing this back-to-back, the Magic can return to the home court to meet the last game in March, and this month is over.
On the NCAA side, after Florida cleared Georgetown, the biggest obstacle, they have no opponents. Whether it is Duke or UCLA, the pressure on them is far less than that of Georgetown. Billy Donovan is in the first place. After entering the finals of the Elite Tournament for the second time, he finally won this trophy, which is also the first championship in the history of the alligators.
In the finals, Florida really rubbed UCLA, the No. The team scored 20 points. Although it was not as big as the tragedy of Duke and the Rebels, it was undoubtedly a shame for UCLA.
Not one day after the end of the game, UCLA's official website issued the news that the head coach Ben Howard was gone. This guy sent Rocky, the most famous guard in California to Georgetown last year. If he let Rocky start, instead of With Farmar now, is the situation going to be like this? Last year’s champion must have been UCLA. After all, UCLA’s strength has been stronger than the Marvelers in recent years.
Anyway, hindsight, settlement after autumn is a common thing for everyone, regardless of race or region. When Rocky did not join UCLA the year before last, but chose Georgetown, UCLA was very sarcastic. However, Rocky's performance beat him. Their faces, they reached the finals this year, and they were even more excited, thinking that another ncaa elite championship in team history was coming, but the gators easily defeated UCLA with their overall strength, just like what Noah said during the game In that way, the pressure UCLA brings to them is not half as strong as that of Georgetown.
Regarding the hustle and bustle after the game, the reporters also found Rocky and asked how this character who was pushed to the forefront felt.
"I don't think there is anything wrong with the choice of the Bruins the year before. After all, not every five-star high school student can shine in the NCAA, and then go to the NBA to gain a foothold. 90.00% of their existence, they chose other industries after the NCAA."
Rocky's answer is very official and formulaic, and UCLA players can't pick any thorns from it. After all, Rocky is telling the truth. How many five-star high school students can't even be selected in the NBA draft? You can count them every day Not perfect, after entering the 21st century, what five-star and four-star high school students are really worthless.
Jordan Farmar is very bitter in his heart. The gap between himself and the opponent is getting bigger and bigger. The opponent participated in the draft a year earlier and is now an NBA All-Star. However, he participates in the draft this year. I don’t know if he will lose the draft. After all, last year The example of the Kentucky Three Musketeers is there. This year's guards are not ordinary, and Farmer is very uncertain.
Rocky didn't know Farmar's thoughts. Rocky didn't like this guy who cost him a California basketball championship for nothing. When he got to the NBA, he had to ravage him to death.
On March 3, the Magic ushered in their last opponent of the month at home. This opponent is called the Dallas Mavericks. Pistons and Cavaliers, losing to the Pistons is understandable, but losing to the Cavaliers is a bit unbearable. In the game against the Cavaliers, the Mavericks’ defense was tested again. James scored 31 points on 23 of 16, while Novus Base also scored 46 points on 18 of 9, but at the last moment, James defended Josh Howard and Jason Terry consecutively, keeping the victory in Cleveland and taking down the Mavericks. It's a game, and their record is 29-42. Because they played fewer games than the Magic, they are temporarily behind.
For this game, the Magic naturally attaches great importance to it. The morale of the Mavericks is currently very low. This is an opportunity for the Magic, and if the game is won by the Mavericks, then the Cavaliers will definitely turn up.
Although the Mavericks have lost three games in a row, their 54-18 record still makes Rocky drool with envy. If the Magic's record is also at this level, then I don't have to work so hard.
The Mavericks made personnel adjustments in this game, and Eric Dampier was kicked to the bench. The season was almost over, and the young general Johnson admitted two facts-one is that the general manager Nelson Jr. is a melon, A moment of hesitation made Rocky a member of the Magic. Second, Eric Dampier is really not worthy of starting for the Mavericks. Although he claims to be the second center in the West, his quality in all aspects is not as good as that of Diop. For a one-year insider, the most important thing is that the opponent is cheap. Diop’s salary this season is only more than 100 million, and the second center in the Western Conference is as high as 890 million. The salary of the Mavericks ranks fourth. If you don’t count amnesty If Finley still occupies salary space this season, then he is the top three.
A person with such a high salary, but the work he can do can't match his salary at all, the little general is really convinced.
In this game, Devin Harris's initiative was ignored by Avery Johnson. He was still playing Terry and Jerry Stackhouse, with Josh Howard at the third position and Nowitzki at the fourth position. Diop at No. 16, this is also the lineup where the Mavericks faced Wade and Payton in the finals in the historical space, so Wade averaged [-] free throws per game. There are reasons for the referees, but it is not because of the Mavericks guards. The defense is too bad, and the inside can't protect the basket?
This Mavericks is the existence that interprets the offense to the extreme.The game was broadcast live nationwide by TNT. Except for Barkley and Kenny Smith, the other three commentators were Rick Barry.
"Avery Johnson woke up too late. If he had taken Eric down earlier, then Dallas might not have lost streak." This Warriors legend is really ashamed to say it, isn't Dampier from the Warriors? , Cuban was cheated by the Warriors, and a bunch of people were exchanged for Dampier, and then a big contract was offered, and then Dampier fell asleep on the big contract.
Rick Barry was more distressed. It would be great if he was born in this era. Even if he didn't bet with the boss, he could still get a lot of salary. He was really born in the wrong era.
"So Rick, do you think the Mavericks can end their losing streak in this game?"
Kenny Smith threw another question to the famous Warriors star, who didn't hesitate, he shook his head, "Probably not, because I've seen all the consecutive away games, and they were basically lost when the back line was blown up." , Although the Magic has only Loki on the back line, I believe that there is no second person in Dallas who can defend him except Josh."
