"No one likes losing, but no one can guarantee that they will not lose. [`Reading novels`] No matter how you analyze before the game, or what the winning-loss ratio is, the game is played. After the game whistle blows
, no matter how regretful you are, and you think you can win as long as you grasp that point, the result is already there and cannot be changed. But there is also a good side to this. The Bulls are likely to be our third in the playoffs.
For an opponent we meet in the first round, it is at least better to lose now than to wait until the playoffs. If we lose now, we still have time to make adjustments.”
Although Edison performed in a personable manner at the post-game press conference, which even led some people to suspect that the loss in this game was entirely a plan controlled by him, it was a completely different scene in the locker room.
Edison cursed every player in the locker room after the game. Not only Roy, who made a major mistake at the last moment, but also veterans like Nash, Hardaway, Howard, and Rondo were all baptized with hair dryers. Of course, among them
The funniest thing is David Lee. This guy didn't get a second of playing time in this game, but he was scolded by Edison. The reason was that he didn't do a good job of cheering for his teammates. I hated David Lee at that time.
I just want to put Edison in my locker and throw him off Niagara Falls.
But again, no matter what Edison does, it cannot change the established result, it can only affect the remaining games, and this is the meaning of our summary.
After losing, Edison naturally would not let the players go to nightclubs in Chicago, so he led the team back to Orlando overnight. The team bus took the players to the Waterhouse Center, and then everyone went home separately. As the head coach, Edison naturally
There will be no exception.
By the time Edison got home, it was already past 1 o'clock at night. Although Edison sometimes entered a workaholic state, he still could not reach the state of "sleeping before 2 o'clock is a waste of life". So he dragged his tired
When the body returned home, I planned to just lay it down and hold it upright.
But after Edison entered his villa, he discovered that it was different from usual times. His butler did not take a rest, but sat respectfully in the living room.
"Kent, are you waiting for me specifically? What can you do?"
"Paul, I am indeed waiting for you. That's right, 6 hours ago, when you were playing, she came back." Kent, who is in his 40s, has many years of experience in housekeeping, and his clothes are always neat and tidy.
Although his voice is not rich and magnetic, his enunciation is clear. In short, he always gives people a polite, reliable and stable feeling.
Although Kent did not say "her" name, Edison knew who she was worthy of, because there was only one person in the world worthy of letting Kent report herself alone - Rachel McAdams.
Edison had imagined the situation when Rachel came back countless times in dreams and reality. He once thought that he would jump up with joy, or that he would not react at all and act indifferently like a passer-by, or that he would quickly rush in front of Rachel and the two of them would hug each other.
Hug tightly, or rush to Rachel and ask her why she came back. It can be said that even the scene of driving Rachel away has left traces in Edison's mind.
But when this thing really happened, none of the situations Edison had thought about and predicted before happened.
Edison suddenly stooped, and then slowly and carefully sat on the sofa, as if he was sitting on a cultural relic that was unknown for many years. Edison didn't know what he should do, or even where he should put his hands.
There, an inexplicable fear enveloped his brain, and it took a long time for him to speak tremblingly.
"Did she say something? I mean, did she show that she came back this time for, uh, any purpose." Edison's words were intermittent, and he could only barely express his thoughts.
Kent saw Edison's nervousness, even panic and fear. Although this emotional state rarely appeared in him, as a person who had experienced it, Kent could understand it.
"Although she didn't say much, I think she came back this time intending to reconcile with you."
"Oh, that's it, that's good. But maybe you feel wrong, and she actually means something else?"
"Sir, it doesn't matter what I feel. You will know the real answer when you go to the second floor."
"Yes, what you said makes sense. I'll find out when I go upstairs."
Although he was talking, Edison did not move, but continued to sit on the sofa. He looked stupid and stupid, but he still didn't twitch nervously, as if the door of the delivery room was about to be upgraded to his father's.
man.
After 20 minutes, wisdom and reason returned to Edison's emptied brain. He took a deep breath, then slapped his thigh hard, and walked upstairs.
The scene of the reunion was very simple, with no deep and deep background music or contrasting light and dark backgrounds. When Edison walked to the attic, Rachel just turned back and looked at him, as if someone was controlling two puppets at the same time.
The two people have a tacit understanding as before.
"I'm back" is the most vulgar and worst sentence in the world. Arnold Schwarzenegger said it, Michael Jordan said it, Hu Hansan also said it, and now Rachel also said the same thing.
After Edison heard this, he no longer thought about why Rachel came back. Instead, he took two steps closer and held her in his arms, very hard, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
The story is often very simple. It is an accident that two people meet, and it is an accident that one of them falls in love with the other. When the relationship reaches a certain level, there may be accidents in the process, but naturally there will be no more accidents in the result.
······
After Rachel came back, although it can't be said that Edison looked like a different person, he also had a new look and suddenly became more energetic. It was effortless to go up to the fifth floor in one breath.
Under Edison's all-weather supervision, the Magic players also began to perform amazingly well. In the final stage, they once again had a 10-game winning streak, finishing with 54 wins and 28 losses, finishing second in the Eastern Conference.
As for the Heat, because O'Neal was always suffering from minor injuries, they had a three-game losing streak. The Magic took the opportunity to overtake the record, falling behind the Magic and becoming third.
And the fourth place is the Cavaliers with 50 wins and 32 losses. James played too fiercely before, and in the closing stage they had no hope of catching up and surpassing the previous teams, so the little emperor frequently took the no-match card in the final stage.
Without the Emperor, no matter how good the Cavaliers played, who could show it to them? So in the end they were only fourth in the Eastern Conference.
The fifth place in the Eastern Conference is the three-headed Washington Wizards. Although Arenas' personal data has improved compared to last season, the stability of an outside shooting team is really difficult to guarantee. So the Wizards
Although they have repeatedly played the role of giant killers, their actual results are not ideal, and no one is optimistic about them in public opinion.
No. 6 is the Pacers, who have entered a period of reconstruction. After Miller retired, the Pacers suddenly lost their never-say-die momentum. Coupled with Artest's departure, the team's strength also dropped by one.
Grade. Although O'Neal is still struggling to support them, everyone knows that this Pacers is no longer the team that can compete for the championship two years ago.
No. 7 is the Bulls. The strength of the young guards is commendable. Especially after winning against the Magic, the players' confidence has obviously improved. And with the same strength and talent, whoever is more confident will be able to perform better.
strength.
The eighth place in the Eastern Conference is the Bucks. There is really no praise for this team. 40 wins and 42 losses, which is less than 50% of the winning rate and entering the playoffs, only shows that the Eastern Conference is too weak, especially the practical problem.
After comparing it with the 41-41 Jazz who did not enter the playoffs, this trend became even more obvious.
However, being able to help his team reach the playoffs in his first season will add a lot of points to Bogut's image and expectations in front of the media.
Of course, the first place in the Eastern Conference is still the Pistons with 62 wins and 20 losses. There is nothing good to say about this team. In the All-Star Game, four of them led James to a comeback. And everyone must know that All-Stars are not easy to get into.
, so although the Pistons do not have a special leader, in terms of overall strength, you should be the best in Eagle Mountain.
Compared with the Eastern Conference, the competition in the Western Conference is much more cruel. It is really incredible to think that a team like the Jazz, with a winning rate of 50%, could only be blocked from the playoffs in the end.
The first is the Spurs, who overtook the Mavericks. This season, Parker and Ginobili are in excellent physical condition and are performing at a super level, so they are the biggest contenders for the championship in everyone's mind.
Second is the Mavericks. I won’t go into details. The league’s second-best salary schedule is enough to illustrate many problems.
Third place is the Nuggets, fourth place is the Rockets, two teams that don't understand the fun and can't produce anything interesting.
Fourth is the Rockets. After the All-Star Game, Yao Ming, who had been resting for a year, finally made his debut again. And the effect of Yao Ming's return was immediate. In the last game, the team only lost one game, which can be said to be a big step forward.
The playoffs.
The fifth place is the Clippers. Towards the end of the game, when the bayonets on both sides are upward and there are no tricks to use, the Clippers do not have a stable player like Brand, and their inside line suddenly becomes a shortcoming.
Sixth place is the Suns and Mediga Stoudemire. Regardless of defense, they are absolutely unquestionable in terms of offense. Reaching sixth place has already disappointed many people.
No. 7 is the Lakers. The return of Phil Jackson may be the biggest birthday wish in the hearts of Lakers fans.
The eighth place is the Grizzlies. Gasol can hold up half the sky by himself. In the international team, he can already give Dirk Nowitzki a try.
The emergence of 16 playoff teams means that the season is coming to an end, but it also means that the most intense playoffs are about to take place.
