Chapter 1298 The final acceleration battle rocket is so fierce~
With 25 consecutive wins, the Lakers occupy second place in the Western Conference and the second seed in the new league - Los Angeles Times.
The battle for Los Angeles has come to an end, and the Clippers have become a broken ship—the nation of Lakers.
The best of the week is announced, LeBron in the East, Tyrant in the West, the 24th time in his career. - Bleachers.
The Lakers and Warriors are about to start their final regular season game! - Orange County Chronicle.
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently 66 wins and 12 losses, the San Antonio Spurs are 66 wins and 13 losses, and the Golden State Warriors are 69 wins and 8 losses. These three teams currently theoretically have a chance to hit 70 wins. Unexpectedly, the competition for record records is so fierce.
Tonight T.N.T will launch a special analysis program to see who among these three teams has the chance to have the last laugh.
The Lakers easily defeated the Pelicans, the worst team in the Western Conference, on April 8. Before this game, "Brother Big Eyebrow" was already injured, so there was no suspense. The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, defeating the opponent. 92-70,
A 22-point victory over his opponent. Tang Qian won the best of the game tonight. He dominated the inside of the game and got a near-triple-double of 25+25+8. But the person who scored the most tonight was Butler.
He felt hot tonight, making 10 of 16 shots, plus 11 free throws, and scored 32 points with a true shooting percentage of over 75%. He was also happy tonight, so he somewhat neglected the defensive end, allowing his opponents to also
Scored more than 25 points. This is also a problem for Butler. When too much physical fitness is allocated to offense, the defense will inevitably decline.
This point is also fully reflected in the original time and space.
After all, not everyone can maintain a high-intensity offense and defense. Butler's low-intensity offense and defense are no problem. His score is in his early 20s. If it exceeds that, he will invest less and less on the defensive end. This is his
"Conservation of energy". But just winning the game is the most important thing. Apart from him, Nick Young scored 14 points, Ariza had 7 points and 3 steals, which were all considered to be some performances.
Except for Olexi Ajinza, everyone on the opposite team played in a mess. This result is also expected. This season's Pelicans are a bad team even if they have Davis. What's more, they are a bad team without Davis.
, even more vulnerable. They are also going for high-ranking draft picks this season, so it doesn’t matter whether they win or lose. The Pelicans management keeps saying that what they want is the future, but they don’t know which talent they want for the future.
It will come. The whole league started to sprint. On the same day, the Spurs lost an upset to the Nuggets, which basically made them fall out of the top two competition. Of course, you can also say that it was Popovich’s intention.
Because the Spurs rested several generals in this game. Losing does not make the fans angry.
Spurs fans are already used to it anyway.
There's nothing wrong with preparing for the playoffs.
This made James express his dissatisfaction, because the Spurs did much better than him, but they did not receive too much criticism from the outside world. In fact, it is not easy to compare. The Spurs players are not at the same level as him in attracting attention.
The thing is, if you enjoy the super halo that others don’t enjoy, then the sacrifices and efforts are relative. It’s not surprising. The same thing happened to Jordan and an ordinary NBA player, and they are two different things. The gambling news about Jordan back then,
Is it a big deal to give it to other players? It’s not a big deal at all. There are so many people in the league who are eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Isn’t it just because he is the number one player in the league and the much-anticipated Michael Jordan?
On April 9, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Grizzlies, only leading by 1 point. Curry's poor touch in this game was the key to the stalemate. Curry, known as "Ku Hao", only made 7 of 22 shots tonight.
The shooting percentage was 31.8%, and the three-pointers were even more appalling. He only made 3 of 14 shots, and the shooting percentage was 21.4%. Including no free throws, he only scored 17 points. However, he also scored 9 rebounds and 9
An assist, which can be regarded as redemption. The biggest contributor to the victory in this game was Green, because "Buddha" Thompson also had a poor touch and shot 2 of 10 three-pointers. Without Green's stable performance, this game would have been lost.
deal.
The Grizzlies nearly beat the Warriors by using fewer turnovers and more rebounds.
This night, most of the news was about the Warriors. There was no way, after Chicago, another 70-win team was born. From the outside, this looked like the default championship. The four major media took the lead in kneeling down to lick it.
, praised their performance to the sky, and they were just short of defeating the Bulls. Then the outside world forcibly set a goal for the Warriors, exceeding 72 wins! Completely refreshing the league's regular season win record.
In fact, Cole didn't think so at first. Mainly because later, the team also had this desire and voice, including their biggest core member Curry, who also expressed to the former that he wanted this record. Why?
Curry wants it so much? In addition to the meaning of the record itself, there are other things. For example, if he wants to win the MVP this season, he needs to rely on the light of this record. Otherwise, although he has a good record in leading the team
, the personal data is also quite explosive, but the No. 29 of Angel City opposite is also very scary. He is not absolutely sure that he will win the regular season MVP this season. Therefore, Curry also has this idea, he wants to win again
After overpowering Tang Qian, he let out his own bad temper.
Otherwise, the Warriors' 1-3 record against the Lakers this season may become a constraint that hinders them from reaching the top spot in the regular season.
If you want to avoid it, you have to get this record. That way, it will be foolproof.
With his explosive statistics and the best regular season record in history, no one can find fault with him. This is a perfect combination of personal ability and team record. This kind of player is also the most popular among MVP selections. Curry
, to put it bluntly, he was a little selfish. He actually didn’t resent Tang Qian or anything. There was no such thing. This was all deliberately promoted by the outside world. But the competitive relationship between him and Tang Qian was 100%, because recently
For two years, it has been the two of them who have been fighting. He wants to completely overpower No. 29 and win another MVP, which is very important. Otherwise, his strongest plan in the league may have to be shelved for another year.
Tang Qian knew what Curry was thinking, so he also began to prepare carefully before every game, preparing to make a last-ditch effort for the MVP of this season. This is something that everyone wants before getting it. This is you
Is it a sign of a quasi-super giant? Having FMVP does not necessarily mean you are a quasi-super giant, but having an MVP means you must have reached the standard. The combination of the two will make you a true and unquestionable super giant in the league. Those who do not meet this condition
Human beings don’t even count.
It's just that the popularity is touted. Once you retire and age, you will be forgotten and your status will fall again and again.
Tang Qian hasn't gotten it yet, so it's a lie to say he doesn't want it. He just wants to see how to get it. The Warriors this season are indeed surprisingly strong. At least before this, Tang Qian was absolutely
I never thought that they could win 70 games in the regular season this season. This is too exaggerated. Let alone Tang Qian, I estimate that no one would have had such an illusion before this season.
70 wins, this is the only one besides that Red Bull.
Represents absolutely invincible dominance in the regular season.
Because the two giants in the West are here, James in the East is completely out of the question. He is indeed still the number one player in the league. There is nothing to say about this. After all, he is still the team leader last year. He is just competing for the MVP in the regular season. He is already
It's a bit weak. If you don't take your time in the regular season, you won't be able to exert so much force in the playoffs. James also calculates this account very clearly. When you get older, you have to let go of some things if you don't let them go. It is difficult to surpass Jordan.
, but he still wants to compete for the position of the second player in the history of the league. Now that the media has valued him so high, he also knows that it is an exaggerated high, so he accumulates more capital as soon as possible to stabilize the second player in history.
This is what we really need to do now.
With James' smart mind, it's impossible not to figure this out. So there's really nothing to say, just give up the game. Anyway, the Cavaliers also have a mediocre record in the league this season, and he can't even make the top three now.
Went. Those who can get in are the core of the top three teams in the Western Conference. Warriors Curry, Lakers Tang Qian, and Spurs Leonard. The three of them are qualified to start fighting in the end. No, even after James
It seems that Leonard has no chance. The team's team record is good, but his personal data is too mediocre compared with the other two competitors. Therefore, unless a miracle occurs, there is almost no chance.
This season's regular season MVP will be competed between Curry and Tang Qian.
There is no third choice.
As a result, the whole league is watching the battle between these two teams. Even if the Cavaliers lost to the Bulls in this game, James was not too angry. He was already building up his strength at the beginning of this game. In the regular season
Since there is no hope of honor, then just focus on preparing for the playoffs. This year's Eastern Conference, at a glance, there is no one-stop enemy.
If you fight hard, with the Big Three and the One Star, you have a good chance of dominating the world again.
As long as he successfully defends his title, there is no need to say anything else. The number one player in the league is still his.
On April 10, the Lakers and Rockets met. Although the Rockets are still on the edge of the top eight, they are currently making rapid progress. The combination of Paul + Harden has an amazing effect, and without Howard and Houston's
The locker room had a completely new look, and a nine-game winning streak brought the Rockets back, who were already hopeless in the playoffs this season.
This game was also the first time Paul met Tang Qian after he transferred to the Rockets.
"Tang, I'm sorry, we won't let you go easily. Your road to MVP competition will be cut off by me today." Paul is obviously still a little concerned about the attitude of the Lakers in the previous contact. He thinks it is Tang.
Potential obstruction. He forced himself to give in without saving any face. Tang Qian also knew what "Brother Pao" meant. Paul's bad temper was well known in the league, so he didn't do it either.
What's there to be scrupulous about? He counterattacked: "If I cut off my legs, wouldn't I be taller than you? If you want to pass my level, you'll probably have to go back to the drawing board and rebuild."
"You are very confident. It's hot. Tonight in Houston, I look forward to seeing your disappointed face!"
"Please, ask the bearded brother next to you, how long has it been since I lost at Toyota Center?" Tang Qian said with a smile, not caring about Paul's words at all, and even pulled Harden in on the side. Harden
I'm speechless. I just want to watch, watch the game, observe and learn, it doesn't matter what my business is. I only play porcelain and don't talk trash.
After Tang Qian left, Paul complained to Harden: "This guy is so arrogant~ It makes people uncomfortable to watch~"
Harden thought to himself: I'm not happy about it either, but first we have to win against them.
People are working hard to be number one in the league, but what about us? We are still working hard for the playoffs.
Harden may have lost too much to Tang Qian, so he is naturally a little weak mentally. Of course, he also wants to regain his place. He just suffers from lack of opportunity. He is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he will be a bearded man in the future.
There are big ambitions and dreams hidden inside. Well, where should I go with Kardashian tonight? What posture should I use? Oh, it’s so hard to choose.
Harden this season is still a nightclub and a Kardashian. In fact, Harden has not raised his competition to a new level. His skills have improved, but his mentality and mental will are still very poor. Currently and
Paul is a bit unmatched.
The two sides have arranged their lineups. The Lakers still have Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. The opposite team is mainly Harden and Paul. The rest are not very impressive. They can play this wave.
, in fact, there is no tacit understanding, they just rely on the personal abilities of Harden and Paul to carry alone. The head coach Bickerstaff does not have much experience.
Taking over temporarily during the season also left him no time to inject his own coaching philosophy and ideas into the team.
Therefore, letting Harden and Paul lead their teams to expand separately is also a no-brainer.
This is all that can be done now.
Forget about fighting for the ball, there is nothing to mention. The Lakers had a bad touch in the first attack and slipped out of the basket. On the Rockets side, Harden dribbled and rushed, then held the ball in singles, brushed~, and hit. The Lakers
The team's second offensive pass was intercepted by Paul. The Rockets pushed quickly and finally succeeded in a layup. It gave the Lakers a 4-0 start. Butler broke through on the Lakers' side, but was called an offensive foul by the opponent.
, the guy named Capela was very active, leaving Butler a little unresponsive.
Fortunately, the Rockets didn't score. The Lakers attacked and gave it to Butler. Butler held the ball and hit again. The ball was interfered by the opponent's defense and he barely missed. Butler seemed to have not recovered from the previous game.
In the heat of the game, his mind was cooling down. He was playing in such a hurry and was not in line with the team's positioning this season. Moreover, Butler this season is far from being as stable in scoring as he will be in the future.
Coming over here, Paul looked at Rondo and passed the ball. The Rockets made a three-pointer from the outside and hit it.
7-0. This is Paul's ability. He can forcibly unite an entire team, even if there is no tacit understanding.
This is the talent attribute of a true point guard master. It seems that in his hands, the Rockets are not a team that has gone through a big coaching change. This feels really good. The Lakers attacked, and Tang Qian was
Infringement, 1 of 2 free throws, turned around, the Rockets hit another one, Harden singled out, faked a foul, which made the defender hesitate, and then he was caught in the gap, and he broke through and shot to score.
9-1, the Lakers chose to time out.
The Rockets played very fiercely tonight.
PS: The situation in the NBA this year is very chaotic. Is the dynasty disintegrating from within? There is also Durant’s personal leadership ability, which is really not good-looking. Without Curry’s attraction, his shooting percentage has recently fallen below 40%, 30%.
Is the score even more impressive? That’s right, right? It was promised that one person would be invincible?
