Chapter 655: No way, injuries and injuries are common, the 2012/13 regular season has come to an end!
After the 2013 All-Star Game, the Lakers added Yi Jianlian to their lineup.
Earl Clark already has the type of Jordan Hill, and the Lakers chose Yi Jianlian, the same type of evacuation type post as Gasol.
With Su Bei supporting the Lakers, Yi Jianlian didn't worry about integrating into the team, so it was a two-way deal that was half-sold and half-given.
Of course, it is impossible for Yi Jianlian to play, and Hassan Whiteside is the 'long-term' choice.
Gasol is injured and out, but the Lakers are still dominated by the Big Three.
The Suns, Clippers, Celtics, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, five teams, none can stop the Lakers from winning.
It's just a pity that without Gasol, the Lakers will not be so stable in winning against weak teams.
February 25, Pepsi Center.
The Lakers' five-game winning streak was ended and they lost to the Nuggets, who were firing on all cylinders.
The score was 123 to 120, and the Lakers lost by 3 points.
No way, the question is back-to-back games on the road, the advantage is not on the Lakers side!
Just after playing the Mavericks, we were about to fly to the Nuggets' plateau home game.
With such a hellish schedule and Gasol's injury, the Lakers already have a good record and don't need to work so hard.
If a core player is injured again, it will be a loss rather than a gain for the Lakers, who are aiming for a championship.
Kobe and Su Bei will take turns to rest.
Under the single-core leadership of Paul, the Lakers and the undefended Nuggets still played back and forth.
The pick-and-roll offense of Paul and Ah Lian was very handsome and eye-catching. Ah Lian also had his first double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds after joining the Lakers, showing his plug-and-play strength.
After losing to the Nuggets, he returned to the Staples Center on February 28.
The Lakers played with all their main players. Kobe and Su Bei worked together and scored 58 points together. Well, Kobe had 33 points and Su Bei had 25 points.
It's not important to go through the details. What's important is that the Lakers won easily, beating the Timberwolves by 32 points with a score of 126 to 94.
Adelman has nothing to do with it. This is not because his Princeton system is useless, but because Love played 18 games this season and was retired early for the season. AK47 Kirilenko was also injured and missed the season. Derrick Williams, the second overall pick in 2011,
It’s useless, it’s hard to cook without rice!
What else do you want from him?
With 13 games on the February schedule, the Lakers had a record of 10 wins and 3 losses, which was pretty good.
However, Gasol's injury was almost reimbursed, making such a record worthless.
But this is basketball, life must go on.
At this time, the Lakers' record was 46 wins and 13 losses. While they had basically locked in a playoff spot, they actually climbed to the top spot on the list.
The Thunder once again showed unstable attributes, especially in the games before and after the All-Star break, when they lost three games in a row.
The young Thunder team had few ideas, and they paid the price. During that period, it was indeed easy for them to overturn and lose. It can only be said that the Thunder team was too young.
The Heat performed the most bravely. Except for losing to the Pacers in the first game in February, they actually won all other games, posting a terrifying performance of 11 wins and 1 loss.
It's a pity that it lags behind too much per game. Currently, it's 45 wins and 14 losses, only half a game behind the Lakers.
After all, the Spurs need to rotate, recuperate, and occasionally overturn one or two games. Their record at this time is the same as the Heat, which is 45 wins and 14 losses. Due to their poor record against the Heat, they are ranked behind the Heat and currently third in the league.
name.
The Thunder were miserable. Their three-game losing streak dropped them directly from the top spot to fourth place, with a record of 44 wins and 15 losses.
…
On March 3, the Lakers defeated the visiting Eagles at home with a score of 109-98, winning their second consecutive victory.
In Josh Smith and Horford, plus Jeff Teague, the Hawks have three All-Star players, but only the top five can play. They are only playoff-level teams. Even if the Lakers let
It is impossible and absolutely impossible for Gasol to make a difference at the Lakers' home court.
In other words, the Eagles' strength didn't allow it, but the Thunder succeeded when they visited two days later.
March 5, Staples Center Arena.
Westbrook was so brave tonight. He made 15 of 29 shots and scored 39 points, 6 assists and 10 rebounds. He was truly unstoppable.
Durant's condition is mediocre, but it is still enough to deal with the Lakers without Gasol.
The score was 122 to 117, and the Lakers were defeated by 4 points.
After this game, the Lakers dropped from the top spot to the third spot.
The Thunder are still the fourth brother.
In the subsequent schedule, the Lakers had an easier time, defeating the Hornets, Raptors, Bulls, Magic, Hawks, Pacers, and Kings, scoring 7 consecutive victories.
Then, fighting too hard, Kobe got injured!
Good guy, this shocked the Lakers. After all, Kobe is absolutely an iron man. It's just a slight strain. It's not a big problem. He can recuperate for a week and he can be resurrected with full blood.
After playing against the Kings on the 17th, Kobe was injured, and on the 18th, they had to play the Suns away from home.
This time, the Lakers gave up and chose to give up the strategy. Neither Paul nor Su Bei played.
F4 all went offline. As a result, they were beaten by the Suns. The score was 99 to 78. The Lakers created the lowest score for the team this season.
No problem, the injuries are as severe as a tiger!
This is also the lament of the end of the dynasty!
From 2007 to 2013, the Lakers were on the front line of the championship. The core lineup, except for Su Bei, was injured all over.
Kobe, Gasol, Bynum, Odom...if you stay with the Lakers for a long time, you can't escape them.
This is the difficulty of creating a dynasty.
You have to be tough and you have to be durable!
In Subei's previous life, after the OK combination, there was no more dynasty.
Only with the emergence of Jiangsu Province could the Lakers dynasty of Kobe and Gasol emerge.
If you look at Kusushi Yong who is close to the dynasty, you can imagine the horror of injuries.
Durant, Thompson, Curry, Green...who hasn't been injured or bled?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And this is still a version of the NBA with weakened defensive strength, but it still cannot survive this man-eating tiger. It is not uncommon for the Lakers to have such an encounter.
Yes, this is repaying the previous debt!
All we can say is that this is the horror of the physical talents of Jordan and James.
Jordan is truly the god of basketball!
Neither of the two three consecutive championships suffered serious injuries that would have disabled them. It can only be said that the choice of the time of retirement for the first time turned out to be a good one.
If we continue to fight for the next three consecutive championships without rest, the result will not be much better than the current Lakers team.
James's physical talent is the most durable, and he has been able to compete for the championship for more than ten consecutive years without any injuries.
This is the benefit of the nomadic dynasty!
This team consumes chips and heritage and immediately brings talent to the next team.
A new team, new blood, James is no longer responsible for everything. No matter how strong the injury tiger is, it can't compare to others who will change their vests and new fruit plates.
This is the healthiest dynasty model!
Well, Su Bei did it too!
Therefore, he basically does not have any major injuries!
After losing to the Suns, Su Bei and Paul came back in the next game and defeated the Wizards without a losing streak.
However, on March 25, the Lakers challenged the Warriors away from home and lost with a score of 105 to 112.
Without Kobe Bryant and Gasol, the Lakers still don't want to fight hard. When they meet the Warriors who are fighting for playoff tickets, it is natural to lose.
Fortunately, the Lakers can still afford to lose.
There were still three games in the March schedule, and the opponents were not strong. Facing the Timberwolves, Bucks and Kings, the Lakers easily defeated their opponents and ended the March schedule with three consecutive victories.
This month, the Lakers played 15 games. The only real challenge was the Thunder. The schedule was very easy. Unfortunately, with injuries hanging over their heads, the Lakers had no choice but to settle for 12 points.
A record of wins and 3 losses is acceptable.
The current record is 58 wins and 16 losses, ranking second in the league.
The Lakers are in second place, behind the Heat, who have a terrifying 27-game winning streak in the March schedule. This is not a shame.
Moreover, the Heat are now only 58 wins and 15 losses, which is not much of a lead. The Lakers are only 1 and a half games behind, and have not lost the opportunity to compete for the top spot.
Compared with the Spurs and Thunder, the Lakers are simply much better.
At this time, the Spurs had lost 18 games and the Thunder had also lost 19 games.
As the game progressed, the problem of the team's bench depth slowly surfaced.
Small teams are at a disadvantage. They have to preserve their strength for the playoffs and get a good ranking in the regular season. It's a difficult problem and not many people know how to do both.
In the April schedule, the Lakers still have 8 regular season games to play.
All are Western Conference teams, and there are many strong teams. Except for the Trail Blazers and Hornets, the other six teams are all playoff-level teams.
Especially the Spurs and Grizzlies, who are still Western Conference Finals teams, are a problem for the Lakers.
Of course, there is good news for the Lakers as well.
Kobe Bryant has been resurrected with full blood, and Gasol can also return, but the latter is more looking for a feeling for the game and preparing for the playoffs.
On April 2, the Lakers beat the Mavericks by 24 points 105-81.
Kobe Bryant had a near-triple-double performance, Gasol also had a near-triple-double performance, which basically declares that the Lakers lineup is complete.
Gasol returned from seven weeks of rest and still showed good competitive form.
After this campaign, the Mavericks basically said goodbye to the possibility of making the playoffs.
The Nowitzki era is over!
On April 5, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies with a score of 95-84.
It was very difficult to win this game, but it can only be said that it is not that the Lakers have become stronger, but that the Grizzlies have become weaker.
Halfway through the season, the Grizzlies traded Gay away for Prince.
This season, Gay is the team's leading scorer, averaging 18 points per game. Prince's defense is stronger, but his offense can only output 9 points of combat effectiveness, which is not even half a star.
As Randolph's condition declines and Gasol's offense is unlikely to get better, this trade operation of the Grizzlies team can be said to have automatically withdrawn from the championship ranks.
Well, at least it’s also a battle for the floor in the Western Conference Finals!
This is the difficulty with small teams.
Relying on the draft, when these rookies receive benefits and their salaries exceed the standard, they have no choice but to cut off an arm to survive.
Next, the Clippers, Trail Blazers, Huang Feng, Warriors, and Rockets were all no match for the Lakers. The Lakers completed 7 consecutive kills.
April 17, Staples Center Arena.
In the 2012/13 season, in the final game of the regular season, the Lakers and Spurs met.
At this time, the Spurs are indeed ranked third in the Western Conference, and there is no need to fight the Lakers.
Ginobili rested directly.
Other core players, such as Duncan and Parker, did appear, but they were definitely just paddling.
Although the Lakers had a 7-game winning streak, the Heat also had a 7-game winning streak after losing their first game to the Knicks in April. Both sides had the same record.
Then, the Lakers were going to face the Spurs, an elite team, but the Heat were playing the Magic, a bad team with only 20 wins. The battle for the top spot was basically over!
But no matter what, this is Kobe's horse, the home court of the Lakers, and the Lakers have no intention of retaining their strength.
The score was 126 to 106.
The Lakers won the final game with a 20-point advantage.
At the end of this campaign, the Lakers had a record of 66 wins and 16 losses, which was the same record as the Heat, but they lagged behind each other. In the end, the Heat took the top spot.
The Lakers did not lose unfairly!
The Heat have won 27 games in a row, showing their invincibility, but you also have the problem of injuries and shortages of important players. This is incomparable.
