On March 27, the Lakers easily eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks, who currently have only 13 wins and 58 losses. The latter is also the only team in the league that has not exceeded 15 wins. Milwaukee is last in the Eastern Conference and last in the league.
I am afraid that people themselves have almost forgotten the last time they won a game.
Look at their lineup, Brandon Knight + Ramon Sessions + Khris Middleton + Zaza Pachulia + Jeff Andrian. Just such a group of people can actually win
After so many games, it can be considered as their best effort. The Lakers lacked Tang Qian, but they still abused them without consideration. Nash controlled the whole game, and the Lakers ran and bombed, defeating the Bucks 113-99, 14 points. This game was worth it.
It should be mentioned that Lakers No. 24 Kobe Bryant finally scored 40+ points in a single game after four games. He made 12 of 21 shots in the game, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and made a total of 14
A free throw. With a shooting percentage of over 57%, he scored 40 points with high efficiency.
However, Kobe still joked: He didn't feel good in this game, probably because it was still winter in Milwaukee.
In fact, the 57% field goal percentage is Kobe's lowest field goal percentage in the few games after Nash's comeback. He is now enjoying this style of play more and more. He can easily shoot without the ball in the first three quarters.
If necessary in the last quarter, take over the game, have enough energy, and kill the opponent.
This is very similar to his offensive mode during the three finals. He didn't exert much force in the first three quarters, but in the end he was invincible in singles and took away the game.
It's just that with the current body and ability + Steve Nash, even if he doesn't exert much force, he can shoot high scores, which is something the previous Lakers did not have. It seems exaggerated, but in fact it is not surprising at all.
.In the early part of the 2012-13 season, Kobe and Nash played together in more than a dozen games, averaging 26.4+5.7+5.4 per game, shooting 52.8% from the field, 40.5% from three-point range, and 89.4% from the free throw line. This is still 34~
35-year-old Kobe. Kobe is at his peak this season. Do you think that if he continues to work with Nash, what kind of efficiency and firepower can he produce on the offensive end? This is because Nash's personal ability has declined a lot. If Nash comes to his peak... I guess
, it is estimated that the Lakers' offense will explode.
Lakers win 24th straight!
What about the Heat? They are currently on a 24-game winning streak! They seem to be competing with the Lakers!
This situation has caused many media in the United States to call it a great distance battle!
Obviously, whoever wins this winning streak will have some impact on this season's MVP voting.
There is no doubt about this.
So in order for James to win three consecutive MVP awards, to suppress Michael Jordan in the MVP streak, and to become the best player in history, James began to urge the entire Heat team to run at full capacity and must last longer than the Lakers.
Only then.
For this reason, James even began to treat guests to dinner in private, just to mobilize the enthusiasm of the team and compete with the Lakers.
This is a grand occasion! Although there is no direct dialogue! But everyone feels that the Lakers' No. 24 and the Heat's No. 6 are secretly fighting!!!
On March 28th, U.S. time, the Lakers faced the Timberwolves back-to-back. The Timberwolves now have no chance of entering the playoffs. This season, they have started high and gone low, which has made many fans heartbroken. Even if Love broke out and scored in this game
Even with super statistics of 40+20, it still couldn't stop the Lakers from blossoming. Kobe allowed his opponent Kevin Martin to make only 2 of 13 shots. At the same time, he scored 38 points, destroying Love's perfect night. Nash also
Winning the battle with "Golden Boy" Rubio, he suppressed his opponent's 11 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds with 12 points, 11 assists and 2 rebounds. It can be seen that Steve Nash
, although he is already 40 this season, he is starting to get better. This is a high degree of combination of body and spirit, for the final fight for the Larry O'Brien Cup!
25 consecutive wins!!!
One day later, the Heat also defeated the Grizzlies. James scored a triple-double of 30+10+10, tying the record with the Lakers again. However, the Heat won this game very thrillingly.
Because of the Grizzlies' inside strength and positional fighting style, not to mention how tyrannical they are, they also caused a lot of trouble in trying to win. James only rested for less than 1 minute in this game, and Wade only left the game for 3 minutes.
, Bosh's playing time also exceeded 40 minutes. It can be said that it was the combined efforts of the three giants that won the game at the last moment. The process was quite dangerous.
When asked if he meant to compete with the Lakers, James shook his head and denied it, but said that he thought the Heat would have the last laugh. The Lakers heard this on the 24th and counterattacked with a smile:
This question is so stupid! Because we are the wealthy family!
This word is a pun, which not only shows the rich heritage of the Lakers, but also satirizes the opponent's lack of confidence. It is an upstart team. It is equivalent to a sneak peek of their behavior and actions when they were at their peak.
On March 30, in the 73rd game of the regular season, the Lakers faced the Phoenix Suns, who still have a high chance of entering the Western Conference playoffs. This game was intense and anxious, despite the fact that the Suns have progressed a lot this season.
A degree of blood exchange, but the effect is good. Goran Dragic has grown from a 14+ scorer to a 20+ scorer in one breath. It is equivalent to going from a third- and fourth-rate scorer to a top second-rate scorer in one breath.
The position is among the quasi-first-class. The growth is quite amazing.
He scored a total of 7 three-pointers tonight! In addition to Eric Bledsoe's 4 three-pointers! PJ Tucker and Channing Frye's 3 three-pointers! With the main lineup alone,
They scored 14 three-pointers! Including the bench, there were 7 more! They actually scored 20 three-pointers together!!! The three-point field goal percentage exceeded 60%!!! So the Lakers almost fell into the ditch.
Capsized!!!
Just look at the Suns' lineup and you will know that they are really good at shooting. Except for Myles Plumlee at No. 5, the other four people in the starting lineup are all excellent shooters. Dragic has three points this season.
The shooting percentage is over 40%! Channing Frye 37%! PJ Tucker 38.7%! Eric Bledsoe 35.7%! In other words, the worst three-point shooting percentage is 35.7%! And the substitutes
On the bench, Marcus Morris has shot more than 38% of his three-pointers this season! Gerald Green has exceeded 40%! This is only the most important thing, and the rest is the bench with three-point shooting range! So the Suns can reach their current level.
Position, ninth in the Western Conference, only 1 game away from eighth in the Western Conference, achieved by relying on crazy shooting.
The Lakers seemed a bit stunned from the away game from the beginning. The lineup was in chaos, and there was no Tang Qian to protect the inside. They almost knelt down, and ended the longest winning streak of the season in a muddle. This moment reflected the play without the ball and
After a certain rest period, the effect of No. 24 on the Lakers was revealed. In the last 2 minutes, he forced a wave of 7 points to take away the game. There were still 3.7 seconds left before the end, and the opponent was defeated!!!
With 42 points in the game, Kobe Bryant, who was at his peak and full of energy at critical moments, was indeed a super clutch man. Perhaps only the first player in the No. 2 position could compete with him.
When Kobe was interviewed after the game, he said domineeringly that the Lakers will not lose and will continue to win!!! They will continue to win!!!
At the press conference, he also spoke to the camera: Welcome the return of the Eastern Giants for the next game. I hope some of the players who have been absent for a week can still feel good about playing.
This is of course a joke. The 26-game winning streak has put Kobe and the Lakers in a good mood. Now they are only one and a half games away from first place in the Western Conference. If they can surpass the Spurs, they will become the top seed in the Western Conference entering the season.
In the playoffs, you can also get the home field advantage as a matter of course.
The Heat also defeated the Bulls on the same day. James scored 40 points in this game and played more than 46 minutes. His shooting percentage was very low in the first half and he gradually recovered in the second half. Wade was a bit lost in this game.
, made 5 of 12 shots, did not hit a free throw, and only scored 10 points. Fortunately, the Bulls are also a slow-paced and low-round defensive team, so the Heat only scored 88 points in the game and still defeated the Bulls with difficulty. The same is true.
With 26 consecutive victories, the Heat have reached their limit. Bosh and James are better, but mainly Wade. He needs to start resting for the playoffs, otherwise his knees will become a big problem.
In his youth, he overtaxed his body to play, and failed to successfully transform in time in the later period. Flash Wade is indeed in worse shape year by year. This season's 19+4+4 data is really a bit sorry for the once-quasi-super giant.
.It is not unreasonable that James will dislike him a little in the future.
But Wade is different from Kobe. He is really a good old guy type, even to the point of leaving people speechless in the end.
From the beginning of the 11-12 season, I have been surrounding James, taking the initiative to give up power, and will "hug" the latter's thigh in the future. In other words, I just want to play basketball happily. Damn it, N is in charge.
For a substitute champion, given his status, what's the point of winning another one? If Tang Qian saw this in his previous life, he would definitely shake his head.
But this is Wade's own choice and has nothing to do with him.
On April Fool's Day in the United States, Tang Qian returned to the game. During this period, he was not idle. He practiced with Moses and Malone in the training hall every day. Although there was still no qualitative breakthrough, the accumulation of quantitative changes still existed.
. So Tang Qian didn’t complain about this process at all.
Because he knows that he has a "different space" and a "crystal brick", and the so-called "bottleneck" is not something that cannot be broken for him. His upper limit has long been defined. It is terrifyingly high!
It all depends on whether you can achieve it and fulfill it in the future.
This is more like a potential system that changes direction. If you can't fulfill it and can't reach it, then I'm sorry, you are still you. You will not become Long Aotian and dominate the alliance in one breath. So this kind of established
The upper limit is one of the sources of motivation for Tang Qian's unremitting efforts. What he has to do is to keep improving and cashing in until all the crystal bricks become nine.
Then maybe new doors will open, and a new world may appear.
But it's too early to talk about this now. He still has a lot to work on and improve.
This game is against the old rival Los Angeles Clippers. It is a derby in the same city. It can be regarded as a small gimmick. Because since Paul joined the Clippers, the Clippers have changed their guns, which is enough to compete with the Lakers. The Lakers in the original time and space
The team was ravaged by the Clippers almost every year in the later period, which is reflected in it. Currently, the Clippers are fourth in the Western Conference, only ranked below the Spurs, Lakers, and Thunder. Their record is considered the leader of the second group in the Western Conference playoffs.
If they play well later, they will have a chance to defeat the Thunder, which is ranked third in the Western Conference.
This season is Chris Paul’s third year with the Clippers. After two seasons of running in, everyone in the Clippers team believes that it’s time to produce results. This season is an excellent opportunity! Hit it in one fell swoop.
The Western Conference Finals and even the Finals are not impossible!
Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are also full of confidence. In interviews this season, they have repeatedly expressed their hopes and expectations for this season.
Very high.
Therefore, this game is naturally broadcast live across the United States.
Battle in the same city to decide who is the king of Los Angeles!
This is the slogan T.N.T made for this national live broadcast. Kobe also said before the game that he and the Lakers will go all out in this game to strive for the final derby in the same city of the season and a perfect ending.
The opponent also did not show weakness. Paul believes that the Clippers' era has come, and his long-cherished wish will come true this season as soon as he touches the floor of the Western Conference Finals!!!
However, there is an old saying in China that people are prone to misfortunes and fortunes, and the sky is full of unforeseen circumstances. The Clippers finally got to the point where they were united and ready to make a big splash this season, and then... misfortune broke out and internal problems arose.
And it's not a small problem.
This is an extremely serious problem.
The owner of the Clippers, Donald Sterling, was exposed by the famous American gossip media, T.M.Z.
It caused an uproar.
The core of the incident is four words, racial discrimination.
This was just pushed back by Tang Qian and Anthony, and now there is another "outstanding bird". David Stern was furious and immediately made public remarks. The NBA has launched an investigation mechanism and convened an emergency meeting.
Shareholders meeting to discuss this matter. They say they are discussing, but in fact everyone knows that Clippers rebounder Donald Sterling is finished.
In the last few months of the term, David Stern must have dared to do anything. Besides, this "racial issue" had just appeared in the league not long ago. Donald Sterling was equivalent to committing the crime against the wind.
.
This incident seemed to be a few dozen days earlier than Tang Qian remembered. It seemed that because of his relationship, he asked T.M.Z to release it in advance, preparing for a double-shot, which would greatly increase the traffic and attention of his website.
Furthermore, in the original time and space, Xiao Hua was already in power, so the method had to be a little milder. Now, because of the "butterfly effect", David Stern has slightly extended his term for a few months, so... Donald Sterling
It's probably going to be even worse.
This kind of impact directly made the Clippers lose their energy. They played like a sleepwalker throughout the game. In the end, the Lakers won 121-91, 30 points. The Clippers did not show the strength that a fourth team in the Western Conference should have.
, giving Tang Qian the feeling of playing against a bad team at the bottom of the league.
No resistance.
Vulnerable.
The Lakers suppressed the Clippers from the first second to the last second, without any suspense.
Tang Qian easily won the first game of his comeback, and the Lakers won 27 consecutive games!
After the game, Kobe expressed sympathy for the Clippers' sudden incident, but he would not show mercy to any team.
Nash also stated that this was an unreasonable disaster.
When a media reporter asked Tang Qian what he thought about this matter, Tang Qian replied:
"I hope that next time we will not only pay attention to black skin, but also pay equal attention to yellow skin. I think everyone should be equal, well, that's it."
At the same time, opposite the Eastern Conference, the Heat lost to the Thunder. All three of Miami's Big Three performed poorly and felt cold. This allowed the younger and more energetic Thunder to have the last laugh. It ended the former's 26-game winning streak! Too much
The excessive pursuit of winning streak against the Lakers is purely an unnecessary burden and consumption for the Heat, who have reached the finals for three consecutive seasons. They should choose to hibernate and rest more in the regular season.
.
James finally paid some price in advance for his ultimate dominance of 3 MVPs and 3 double MVPs (that is, three consecutive MVPs + FMVPs).
Suddenly, the Lakers were the only team in the entire league to maintain a 20+ winning streak.
Suddenly, the Purple Gold Storm violently swept across the entire alliance.
Finally, it started to get scary.
PS: I will try to update more tomorrow~ I am much better after the injection and my condition has recovered a lot~ Thank you everyone for your tolerance and encouragement during this period, Xiaozi will start working hard~~~
