According to the news from the Mavericks after the game, after the doctor's diagnosis, Nowitzki suffered a contusion of the calf tibia and was likely to miss two to three weeks of the game, and this time was exactly the time for the Dallas Mavericks' first round game.

Needless to say, Nowitzki's role in the Dallas Mavericks, as we can see from their game against the Supersonics, they had the advantage, but after losing Nowitzki, the Mavericks were immediately beaten by the Supersonics without any power to fight back.

As the critical moment of the playoffs approaches, the incident of core players being injured naturally made the Mavericks boss Mark Cuban particularly annoyed. For example, when facing the San Antonio Spurs in the playoffs, the Mavericks still have a winning rate of 47%, and the winning rate dropped to 37%.

And there was only one game left, and such a depressing thing happened. Moreover, Stephen's movement was not particularly big at that time. He just turned around and flipped Nowitzki. Who would have thought that the bone would be injured?

Mark Cuban sarcastically said that Nowitzki's injury was even mentioned to the level of conspiracy, believing that the direct beneficiary of Nowitzki's injury was the San Antonio Spurs, and there is no need to say more about the relationship between the San Antonio Spurs and the Supersonics.

Mark Cuban did not directly indicate it, but even so, he was criticized by the San Antonio Spurs and the Seattle Supersonics. Even the league warned him, leaving him without any unreasonable speculation. Even his team general manager Nelson Jr. also stated that Mark Cuban's speech only represents his personal position and does not represent the team's position.

The main reason why his general manager also opposes his boss is that what Mark Cuban said is too idealistic. It is normal for an accident like injury on the court to occur. If everyone doubts this and that as he said, then don't just play the game.

There are only 30 teams in the league, and they don’t look down and no one wants to offend anyone to death. Everyone is like they are in a circle. Although there are many small groups based on tradition, geography, connections, etc., the Spurs and the Mavericks are not in the same group.

However, both teams are in Texas. When Old Nelson was with the Mavericks, both sides had a certain relationship. Although Old Nelson has left now and is not happy with Mark Cuban, it has not affected the relationship between the Mavericks and the Spurs.

As for the relationship between the Mavericks and the Supersonics, there are no grudges. In addition to the previous names, the Supersonics have changed from the boss management, the coaching staff, and the core players. There are naturally no grudges in terms of personnel. These people are all from the Spurs, so they naturally bring their roots.

Mark Cuban quickly stopped talking. He was just angry for a moment. Of course, for him, if he was angry, he had to say that he didn't need to swallow his anger. At worst, he would be fined tens of thousands of yuan. For it, it was like drizzle, just like the kind of person who spitted fine and spitted twice and then spit it. He could actually do this.

However, after receiving and confirming the news, the Spurs were really happy. Without Nowitzki's Mavericks, the threat to the Spurs was greatly reduced, and they could save their accumulated strength to deal with opponents in the second round.

At this time, the New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers also defeated their opponents respectively, and the three sides were still standing on the same jump line. After the Filkes Suns lost in the confrontation with the New Orleans Hornets, they were surpassed by the Denver Nuggets and fell to eighth place in the West, and they were only half a win-win situation behind the Uta Jazz.

When the Supersonics came to Oakland, California to challenge the Golden State Warriors here, they received a news that the New Orleans Hornets defeated the Denver Nuggets again, but lost to the Uta Jazz in a back-to-back away game.

In this way, the New Orleans Hornets will no longer pose a threat to the top position of the Seattle Supersonics. As long as the Supersonics can win the Golden State Warriors, they will be the number one in the West.

In this case, the Supersonics easily defeated the Golden State Warriors who were unwilling to fight. The Warriors did not have the power to fight, but they soon lost under the Supersonics' offensive, especially the Supersonics failed to sweep the three-pointers in the game, and the three-pointers shot like rain.

However, the Warriors' three-pointers were also very good, especially their leading stars, Baron Davis and Marco Belinelli, who each made five three-pointers, as well as two Azubuk and Pitrus, who also made quite good three-pointers.

However, it was nothing compared to the Supersonics team and scored 22 three-pointers and one-piece match. In the end, the two teams each scored more than 120 high scores, but the Warriors lost the game.

After the game, Stephen Jackson chatted with Stephen Jackson for a while. Stephen Jackson first congratulated Stephen on winning the most valuable player in the regular season. Stephen was not humble about this. With impeccable personal data and team performance, it would be unreasonable if the award was not awarded to him.

After chatting for a while, the two separated, but Stephen had some thoughts about Stephen Jackson. If this guy could accept the substitute position and his annual salary could be lower, the team would be worth it to get him over. This guy has a good attitude in both offense and defense, and is especially good at fighting tough battles, which would be a useful supplement to the team now.

Wilkins and Szebiak add up the abilities of the two, but they can be similar to Stephen Jackson, but their salaries are similar to Stephen Jackson. If Stephen Jackson can come, they will have no value.

After returning to the team, all the average season data of each individual were released. Stephen averaged 40:7:7:7:7:9 rebounds, 6:7 assists, 3:09 steals and 2:6 blocks.

Stephen is the first in the league in scoring and steals per game, and his average blocks per game are also the first among all outside players. In addition, among the players who are averaging more than 20 points per game, he and LeBron James are the only two who can score five assists and five rebounds at the same time.

However, LeBron James averaged only 30.6 points, and steals and blocks were not as good as Stephen, both below two. Even Jordan averaged 37 points in the season that year, he had only more than five rebounds and less than five assists, while steals were close to three and less than two blocks.

In the season when he averaged 35 points per game, he had five rebounds and assists and three-point steals. The only one who could compete with Stephen in all aspects was probably the "big o" Oscar Robertson, and only Wilt Chamberlain could beat Stephen in average scores.

Stephen has seen a significant increase in data this season. Durant was able to average 23:6:4:5 rebounds and 3:6:00 assists per game in the rookie season. This is the best performance of this rookie. Even if he is among the best rookies in previous classes, he can still rank in the top five in the past two decades.

As the inside line in the team's triangle combination, Cooper can average 18:5 points, 9:7 rebounds, 2:5 assists, 2:5 blocks, 2:50 assists, 2:11 blocks, and close to 20 plus one. Among the centers in the league, they can also rank in the top seven, which is naturally a significant improvement compared to last season.

In fact, players, such as Watson, Reedno, and Wilkins, have also grown. Some have increased with their playing time, and some have improved with their position in the team's tactical system. However, no matter what, after the team enters the rise, the players also rise, which means that they have made contributions to the team.

On the second day of the Supersonics' match against the Warriors, the 2007-2008 regular season came to an end. As the Denver Nuggets went through hardships in the away game and won the home game, all eight teams in the West were released.

The Uta Jazz fell in front of the playoff goal. They had the chance to win the game, but they were still six points ahead with three minutes to finish the game.

But Iverson and Carmelo Anthony dominated the game in the last two minutes and fifty-four seconds, worthy of their reputation and status. Not only did they equalize the score difference, but they also surpassed the opponent by the end of the game.

The Phoenix Suns were very lucky to squeeze into the playoffs. If the Denver Nuggets lose in this game, the Nuggets will not fall out of the playoffs, they will only get them down. However, if the Nuggets win, the one who squeezes down will become the Uta Jazz.

As the Seattle Supersonics won the top spot in the Western Conference, their opponent is the Phoenix Suns, the eighth-ranked West, while the Denver Nuggets are against the New Orleans Hornets, the Houston Rockets against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Spurs against the Mavericks.

There were basically no surprises in the matchup, but the seventh and eighth place changed positions. The Supersonics were not dissatisfied with this. No matter whether the opponent was the Nuggets or the Suns, there was no difference for the Supersonics.

The Houston Rockets faced the Los Angeles Lakers, which was one of the opponents they least wanted to face, but there was no way. The fierce competition between the last two positions made them afraid to fall below and could only try their best to keep their current position.

Only the Spurs picked up a bargain and faced a Mavericks who lacked core players. However, they had a record basis, so they were so confident that they had determined themselves to be fourth in the West from the beginning.
