Chapter 519 Hurry up!
Normally, as soon as we enter late March, NBA teams begin to sprint.
From this point on, the remaining ten or so games can determine whether a team can be ranked among the top eight in the Eastern and Western Conferences and thus qualify for the playoffs.
Although many NBA players began to play as badly as they wanted after receiving big contracts, for countless NBA players, the playoffs are still an honor.
Because it leads directly to the throne of the championship and the ring of the championship.
As long as you still have some career pursuits, then a championship ring is what you should strive for.
Whether a player can be called a superstar usually requires a championship ring to be qualified to judge.
Superstars like Barkley who have never won a championship are, after all, only a minority among the minority.
To put it more bluntly, whether a player can get a championship ring is also an important factor in whether a player can get a big contract.
If you don't have a championship ring, you don't even have the guts to ask the team to give you a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.
This year's situation is basically the same as before. Some teams have landed safely, some teams are still struggling desperately, and some teams are already preparing for vacation.
In the past two years, the Los Angeles Lakers had already begun preparing for vacations.
But this year is different. By the end of March, with 6 games left in the final game, the Lakers had already landed early.
This result will naturally not disappoint NBA experts.
Because based on the Lakers' performance and results this season, this is how it should be.
From the beginning of the season, the Lakers began to make rapid progress. By 52 games in February, they were ranked second in the Western Conference and third in the NBA, second only to the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference.
of the Warriors.
By the time they played 76 games, the Lakers had won 58 games, ranking third in the Western Conference and sixth in the league.
The eighth-place Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference have won 38 games and lost 38 games.
Even the fourth-place Oklahoma City Thunder only had a record of 51 wins and 25 losses.
See it.
This means that even if the fourth place in the Western Conference wins the remaining 6 games, they will only have 57 wins.
Even if the Lakers don't win a game after that, they are still in third place.
The Lakers are still far behind the second-placed San Antonio Spurs with 63 wins, and they can't catch up.
But the reason why they achieve such results is actually due to many supervisory factors.
This year's Golden State Warriors are too strong. With 6 games left, they have won 69 games and lost only 7!
If they win three more games, they can break the 72-10 record set by Jordan and the Bulls.
This is a very approximate thing.
Even if they can't break it, they are still No. 1 in the league this year.
If the Lakers cannot get second or third place, they will meet the Golden State Warriors in the first round and semifinals ahead of schedule.
This is very detrimental to the Lakers.
Therefore, they played hard before and did not want to be separated. It was for this reason.
Now that we are finally out of the danger zone, the most we can do is meet the second-place San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.
Compared with the Golden State Warriors, the San Antonio Spurs' group of veterans are much easier to play.
Besides, Kobe and Iverson firmly believe that when Shen Huan comes over and plays five or six playoff games to adapt to the game, then it will not be a problem at all to kill the San Antonio Spurs.
As for whether you can defeat the Golden State Warriors, it depends on your condition and luck.
With Shen Huan here, if the three of them join forces, there will definitely be a chance to give it a try.
According to the NBA schedule, the Los Angeles Lakers will play their opponents on April 16th.
Although the opponent has not yet been arranged, Kobe and Iverson called Shen Huan one after another, asking him to go to the United States quickly and be ready to practice together.
Speaking of which, the NBA schedule is very unreasonable.
The last regular season game was played on April 13th, and there was only two days of rest before the playoffs, which was not as generous as the Champions League.
But the NBA is famous for having a lot of games. If you don't seize some time, the players won't even have much time to rest.
If there were games and training all year round, would the players be able to bear it?
So there is no way around this.
Naturally, it was impossible for Shen Huan to leave so early.
The students on his side have entered the final sprint for the college entrance examination.
If he leaves in early April, it will be a full delay of more than 2 months.
By the time he came back, the college entrance examination was over.
Fortunately, Shen Huan had already considered this. Since the Spring Festival in February, he had adjusted the schedule and made the most reasonable exam sprint plan.
It also speeds up the frequency with which they receive test knowledge points.
But even so, Shen Huan would not go to the United States until April 10th.
Three to five days of combined training is enough for him who now has professional basketball (advanced level) and who has already used the bone marrow cleansing formula for strengthening muscles and bones (intermediate level).
If it wasn't for Kobe and Iverson to make a bone-strengthening and marrow-cleansing formula (intermediate) decoction, he would not even fly to the United States until the 13th.
In fact, the Lakers' attitude is not very positive.
They just regarded this as a small wish to satisfy Kobe. The guaranteed salary of only 1 million US dollars was nothing at all.
Even if Shen Huan occupies a quota of 15 people, with the Lakers' current team configuration, there are not enough 15 people on weekdays.
It's amazing that you can temporarily sign a player to play a few games.
It's just that they haven't used temporary contracts once during the regular season.
Therefore, among the entire Lakers, only Kobe and Iverson were looking forward to Shen Huan, and other players had forgotten that they had such a teammate.
They even felt that Shen Huan might not come to play in the playoffs.
Shen Huan can tolerate being looked down upon by so many people, but Hao Ye cannot!
"Ding dong!"
"The system has discovered that many people look down on others and have strong doubts about the host's basketball ability."
"As a host who has inherited the excellent skills of this system, we must fight back with the most painful force against these people."
"When the host participates in the training match, he must defeat them and let them cooperate with the host honestly to win the game."
"If you can complete the task, the system will give you a small gift. Come on, young man!"
Shen Huan wanted to laugh when he saw this task.
Now everyone is a super player with professional basketball (historical level)!
Originally, I was planning to establish my authority as soon as I joined the team!
Otherwise, how can we awe them and form a team?
Chapter completed!
