On the 20th, they defeated the Grizzlies on the road and won nine consecutive games.

On the 21st, the team returned to Phoenix.

That afternoon, the Lakers also arrived in Phoenix.

However, O'Neal was absent due to injury. With only Kobe and the old and injured Postman, plus the older and injured David Robinson, there was no way the Suns could compete.

On the 22nd, the Suns defeated the Lakers and won ten consecutive games.

In the following schedule, the Suns continued to defeat one team after another with overwhelming momentum, maintaining the winning streak until the end of February.

The Suns also successfully surpassed the Trail Blazers and reached first place in the Western Conference and first place in the league.

The Trail Blazers suffered serious internal injuries and had few players available. In order to prepare for the playoffs, they began to take more breaks after the All-Star break, and their record dropped accordingly.

On March 1st, the league's MVP rankings were announced. Although the Timberwolves' record was surpassed by the Suns, Garnett was still first and Wang was still second.

As March enters, the Suns' winning streak continues.

Since Wang's comeback, the Suns have become one of the most popular teams in the league.

Not only Lao Wang's personal strength and the team's winning streak, but also the run-and-gun tactics he plays from time to time, his style is really attractive.

On March 15, the Suns defeated Mosaic on the road, and the next day they returned back-to-back at home to defeat the Clippers, winning their 20th consecutive victory.

On the 19th, the Suns defeated the Timberwolves again at home and won 21 consecutive games.

On the 20th, the Suns faced the Bucks back-to-back at home.

In this battle, the Suns' winning streak came to an end.

At this time, 70 games had been played in the regular season, and the Suns had 54 wins and 16 losses. This was the first time the Suns had lost since Wang's return.

Stoudemire has not returned since his injury. His left knee is sprained and has water accumulation. He is still recovering. Whether he can return before the playoffs is a question.

The advice given by Dr. Carter is to sit out at least 30 games for two months. He was injured on February 17. Calculating the time, he should be able to make it in time for the first round of the series. It depends on the specific recovery situation.

Now that the Suns have surpassed the Trail Blazers, who are second in the Western Conference, by 4 wins, and their first position in the Western Conference is very solid, the management and coaching staff decided to slow down the pace. In the last 12 games, the main players will increase their rotation.

On the 26th, the Suns challenged the Cavaliers away from home.

The Cavaliers were okay in the 1990s, often reaching the playoffs, but starting from the 1998/99 season, they have not reached the playoffs for five consecutive seasons. This year's record is not good, and they are hovering outside the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

It is currently ninth.

In order to make room for LeBron James, the management traded former core Ricky Davis, and now the rookie No. 1 pick has become the core of this team.

At eight o'clock, both sides announced the starting lineup.

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Amar'e Stoudemire, Marion, Joe Johnson, Nash

Cavaliers: Big Z, Carlos Boozer, LeBron James, Jeff McGinnis, Bremer

In the players tunnel, the starters are waiting to play.

Lao Wang looked down at LeBron James across from him with scrutinizing eyes, his face expressionless.

He knew that the No. 1 pick had made a splash in the All-Star Rookie Challenge not long ago, and he had some criticisms of him during the interview on the day of the draft.

But he had long forgotten that he paid for James' school's football team in a street store in Cleveland.

Being stared at by the No. 1 man in history and the No. 1 man currently active, Old K's aura was too strong. LeBron James felt tremendous pressure and his back bent involuntarily. He immediately realized it and tried to straighten it up again.

Chest, I want to stand up straighter and have more momentum.

At this time, Lao Wang was playing away from home, and he didn't bother to pay attention to James and followed his teammates out.

Seeing Old K leaving, James couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He didn't realize that his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Pa bang bang..."

When Lao Wang came on the stage, the Cavaliers' home stadium, Quicken Loans Center, immediately burst into warm applause.

It used to be called the Gund Arena. The owners were the Gund family. Gilbert took over the Cavaliers. He was in the credit business, so he changed the name.

LeBron James was extremely envious when he saw that Old K could get such warm applause in his home stadium.

"One day, I can have such influence." He thought to himself.

"Crack!"

Ten minutes later, in the second minute of the first quarter, LeBron James made a crushing breakthrough with the ball. After knocking Marion away from the edge of the paint area, he entered the paint area and was about to dunk when he was directly hit by Wang Tiejun with the ball.

It hit the floor and hit hard.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA."

Lao Wang generously gave the rookie his first trash talk.

James turned over and climbed up, saying unconvincedly: "Old K, I will come again."

“Crack!

In the fifth minute of the first quarter, Lao Wang scored his second big shot of the day, hitting Big Z.

"Big Z, how dare you shoot me on the head?" After successfully blocking the shot, he shouted at Big Z with a surprised look on his face.

Big Z lowered his head and said nothing. He couldn't afford to offend him and could not afford to hide, so he walked away.

"Crack!"

In the seventh minute, Lao Wang made his third big shot, rushing close to the three-point line and blocking Boozer.

Seeing Old K's eyes that were red with excitement, the second-year Boozer didn't dare to look into those eyes that revealed dominance, and immediately lowered his head and walked away.

In the 10th minute, James once again broke through with the ball. When he took a step outside the left waist, he suddenly turned over and shot a jumper.

"Crack!"

Lao Wang emerged from behind Marion and sent out the fourth big shot in the first quarter. He hit the ball directly and slapped the basketball into the audience.

This time, he didn't bother to talk trash. A rookie is not worth wasting his words.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

…

This loud whipping sound lasted throughout the entire game. From the beginning to the end, Lao Wang blocked 14 shots.

LeBron James, who is now only good at breaking through and scoring layups, became the biggest victim. He took 7 big shots by himself, two in the first quarter and three in the second quarter. He was so full that he didn't dare to break out in the second half, but Lao Wang rushed outside.

Come on, give him two hats anyway.

In addition, on the offensive end, Lao Wang scored 39 points and led his team to defeat the Cavaliers.

After beating the Cavaliers, the Suns rushed to Indiana overnight. Tomorrow, on the 27th, they will play back-to-back against the Pacers, who are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.

The Pacers are still very strong this season. They have O'Neal Jr. in the paint, Artest at small forward, Reggie Miller at shooting guard, and Al Harrington on the bench. The lineup is pretty thick.

The Suns have no intention of winning this game. They have no competition with the Pacers. Moreover, it is a back-to-back away game and the players are not physically fit.

At the 3rd minute of the third quarter, the Suns led by 3 points.

Although it is not necessary to win, the strength does not allow it, and the Pacers did not perform well today.

Lao Wang played 18 minutes in the first half and had been sitting at the bottom in the third quarter. At this time, he was substituted, along with Zhu Fangyu and Josh Howard, who played the third and second positions.

Suns offense.

Lao Wang took the ball in the low post on the left wing, attracted a double-team from Artest above, and immediately passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu above.

In the open position, Zhu Fangyu made a jump shot without any hesitation.

"brush!"

The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.

"ah!"

After he succeeded, he raised his fist in great excitement. He saw Artest running over and quickly stood in front of him, hoping to delay his opponent's entry into the frontcourt.

The rookie he was facing had just hit a three-pointer. Artest was a little angry. Seeing that the damn rookie was blocking him again, he raised his left elbow and waved to the side.

"Ouch!"

Zhu Fangyu covered his forehead and backed away.

Artest walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"What the hell!"

As soon as Lao Wang saw it, he rushed forward with big strides.

"Old K!"

When Nash was about to catch the ball, he hurriedly hugged Lao Wang from behind.

However, where could he hug Lao Wang? He was dragged forward by Lao Wang without any hindrance. Josh Howard rushed over and blocked Lao Wang.

At this time, Zhu Fangyu had already realized that he had been elbowed.

That's okay, I'm Lao K's official thug. He immediately jumped on Artest with a wave of his fist, rushed behind Artest, and greeted him with a punch.

Bang, the left fist hit the unsuspecting left side of Artest's face first, causing the opponent to groan and tilt his head, and then followed up with his right fist to hit the neck.

Bang bang bang, after a few punches, Artest was stunned and tried to run away, but failed and was knocked to the floor.

"Beep, beep, beep..." The referee's whistle kept ringing rapidly.

"oh!"
