Chapter 1310 The last game, the countdown to the regular season

By this time, the top playoff teams should be safe and relieved.After all, they are still fighting for playoff tickets, and those are all teams hovering around the top eight.The previous ones are no longer necessary.But this year, if you look at the West, it's not like that at all.Sure enough, the Warriors still won 72 wins, tying the seemingly unattainable invincible record of the Bulls back then.All of a sudden, everyone was boiling, and the entire page was opened, all about the Warriors' 72 wins.Almost everyone on the Warriors team has become a big star, with interviews and questions swirling.

Now the Warriors still have one more game, and if they can beat the Grizzlies on April 4, then they can really complete the feat.Breaking through 13 wins in one fell swoop, and then standing on the highest peak in the history of the NBA regular season.Even the Bulls with 72 wins have to give them a tough one.During this period of time, the main members of the original 72-win Bulls also began to be interviewed frequently, and even Jordan couldn't get around this topic.And Mr. Joe's answer this time is also quite domineering. He didn't make it official again, and directly told the Warriors boss in the gathering of 72 bosses that 6 wins without a championship is nothing.

Pippen also followed in the footsteps of Old Joe, saying that 73 wins without a championship is meaningless.

Rodman also said that he doesn't pay attention to who is the winner of 73 wins at all, he only knows who is the championship.

"Zen Master" said that he was more tactful. He felt that this Warriors team was very talented and showed enough dominance in the regular season. However, the playoffs were different from the regular season, and he couldn't predict anything in advance.

As the invincible Bulls, and also the only team in the history of the league with the highest offensive and defensive efficiency in the league, they certainly have their own arrogance.They all don't think in their hearts that this Warriors team can survive the Bulls.It's just that the Bulls didn't play so hard that year.Otherwise, 75 wins are possible.The Warriors' approach is actually a bit too much.Van Gundy pointed out that too much pursuit of data and records is likely to increase the consumption of the team, which is not good for entering the playoffs.

But now Curry has made up his mind to get this regular season record, and the whole team has no objection, because Curry's character is admired by everyone in the Warriors.No one will go to nothing to make things difficult for him.Including this big-mouthed Green, he is also a loyal Curry fan. He will spray anyone, but he will never speak to Curry easily.Therefore, Curry wants this regular season MVP, and everyone in the Warriors is willing to help.

A little blood is nothing, and Curry is also a rich man. For him, being the MVP of Lianzhuang is of great significance.

Besides, you can still overwhelm that annoying Eastern center, can't you?
must!want!want!want!
Curry withstood the pressure and took the lead in shouting, we want to create new history, which actually means it is already obvious.The Warriors are not going to tie the record with the Bulls. What they have to do is to break history.Be the best in history.

No one wants their record to be broken and taken away by others, so there are quite a few people who want to see the jokes of the Warriors now.

On April 4, the NBA officially announced the best weekly rankings for the last week of the 12-15 season. The Eastern Week Best belongs to Paul Millsap of the Atlanta Hawks.He was able to score 16+20+15.7+4.3+4.3 super data last week, and his three-point shooting percentage exceeded 2% last week. The Eagles who won the victory are very reasonable for him.Even if many star players see this statistic, they will feel that it is very unusual.Absolute integration of offense and defense.

If Millsap can maintain this efficiency, then he definitely has a chance to fight anyone.

Unfortunately this is not possible.

The best of the week in the West belongs to the competition between Tang Qian and Downs.In the end, Tang Qian won, and won the No. 20 best honor of the week in his career five times.This season, he is the player with the most weekly awards in the league, not one of them.It is the best of the month, always due to various reasons and unlucky events, and never got involved once.This made Tang Qian feel very unbalanced.

You are not happy, are you?
So on April 4th, ESPN decided its own broadcast order.Because the game time of the Warriors and the Lakers has some conflicts, they can only be played separately.In this way, it will show that ESPN personally has a preference for whom.Is it the Golden State Warriors?Or the Los Angeles Lakers?Well, one broadcast is still given to the Golden State Warriors, which does not deviate from the historical trend.The Lakers were assigned to broadcast on Channel 13.

It seems like ESPN thinks the world should prefer 73 wins.

However, I just want to spoil the situation!We won 70 wins, right?What if the Grizzlies work harder and kill the Warriors?This is not good.Then there is still a chance.The Jazz are also fighting for the playoffs. If he wins, there is hope.This point has changed a bit.But it doesn't matter, let alone the Jazz, Tang Qian will win even if it is the Warriors!
Because it was a home game, the Staples Center also created some atmosphere. Jenny Buss and "Magician" jointly announced that if the ball can be won, if the Lakers can break the record in team history, it will be a great achievement. If it is a big event, everyone in the audience can get a commemorative T-shirt.This seems to be very popular in the NBA.

Americans don't have much history, so everything has a sense of history.

Being able to participate in it will be a conversation piece that can be talked about with future generations in the future.

In the locker room, Tang Qian had only one sentence, win!

WIN! ! !

Playing, the Lakers starting lineup remains the same, Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo.The opposite is Trey Lyles + Gordon Hayward + Shelvin Mark + Jeff Vesey + Rodney Hood.The team lineup will not be introduced, and there are no famous people who are famous.The strongest Hayward has not yet entered the All-Stars.But this ball is still the same sentence. Salt Lake City is very tough, it has always been like this, and it is not easy to be affected by the external environment, so even if it is a lot behind or a lot ahead, there is not much difference in play.Hitting them is not to be taken lightly.

Besides, if they win this game, it is possible to catch the last train of the playoffs, so the Jazz are also ready for a big battle tonight.To overthrow the Lakers on the road.

The Jazz came up to fight for the ball was Jeff Vesey. He was 213cm tall, but his tonnage was only 222 pounds. How can I say such a tonnage?It's almost skinny.When Tang Qian saw him, he was worried that he would let his opponent lie down as soon as he exerted his strength.The Jazz paid great attention to protecting the basket tonight and shrinking the penalty area. The Lakers felt off the line in the first quarter, and the outside opportunities came out, but they didn't go in a few.This made the Jazz think they had seized the opportunity, playing a wave of two-guard tactics, and shooting after the pick-and-roll.

It seems that the head coach of the Jazz also knows that if you want to overthrow the Lakers, if you don't have a long-range shot, it is almost impossible to win.At the basket, the Jazz don't have such a good player.So just start playing from the outside line at the beginning, and wait for the outside line to feel opened up, and then think about the rest of the changes.Don't tell me, the Jazz Princeton's pass and cut play was smooth tonight, and Shelvin Mark's touch is good. Such a simple style of play also had a temporary effect.

But Larry Brown was not in a hurry, he sat firmly off the court, and didn't intend to pause.Because of such an extremely simple style of play, it seems that the effect is good now, and it is not easy to defend.But how long can these people fight like this?Can it kill someone?Can the Lakers be unable to parry?Isn't that bullshit?These people are not star players, and they will continue to hit the iron if they feel down. At that time, the Lakers will seize the opportunity to overtake.Moreover, the simpler the Jazz play, the easier it is to defend, without consuming too much overall defensive energy. In the live broadcast room of ESPN Channel [-], Jay Williams was naturally boasting. Judging from his feelings, it seemed as if the Jazz were so strong and the Lakers were so weak.But in fact, it didn't take long for the Lakers to start a comeback.

The Jazz wanted to hit the top arc pick-and-roll, and the Lakers quickly adopted a Weak defensive tactic, directly forcing the opponent to go in the direction of their non-dominant hand.Shelvin Mark is a very ordinary NBA player. If he hadn't been on the Jazz, he would have been a substitute.And his overall view is not good, in fact, it would be better to use it as a scoring point on the bench.The Jazz team has no one now, so they can only use this person to top them.Rondo felt that it was too childish for him to play a pick-and-roll in front of him by adopting weak defensive tactics against the man in front of him.It can't break the essence of Weak's defensive tactics at all.

Because to break the Weak defensive tactic, you need a good tacit understanding between the ball holder and the pick-and-roller. Once broken, the center will open wide.It's a pity that Shelvin Mark can't do it to this level.At this time, the Jazz wanted to change to a mixed lineup to grab points, but this was a stupid move, lack of tacit understanding, and was repeatedly intercepted by the Lakers. Fortunately, the defense here was also timely, so that the score difference was not widened faster.The Jazz could only play a few singles with Hayward, and Hayward was more competitive tonight, and several difficult shots were thrown for him, which made Butler very depressed.

But everyone has entered, and there is nothing you can do, you can only admit defeat, and then strengthen your defense to destroy the success rate of the opponent's next attack.The Jazz are also rascals tonight. They completely gambled with the Lakers. Knowing that it is impossible to win the Lakers just because of everything, their head coach Quin Schneider decisively cut off most of the team's complicated runs. bit.It is simple and simple.Let's play like this, if the player feels bad, then he will lose, and there will be no chance of counterattack.However, do the Jazz have other opportunities now?

And there are no reliable stars to execute singles tactics, so that's the only way to do it.

It's too complicated, they are not a tactically strong team, but they are easy to be defended by the Lakers.

Gambling is a thing in the NBA, and if it succeeds, it will have miraculous effects.God favored the Jazz tonight. After they switched to a simple cut-out jumper, they still had a fair shooting percentage, which made it impossible for the Lakers to turn over in one go.After the Lakers made a corner pick-and-roll, Randall went down the middle to kill, missed but caused the kill, and made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.When the Jazz came over, the high pick-and-roller handed out the hand, and then Hayward turned around and made a shot. The defender rushed over quickly, but he directly took the ball and turned around with a cover to make an emergency stop jumper. What can you do?
Easy block?please.This kind of ball is hard to hit the cap, isn't it?All you can do is interfere.

brush ~ hit ~
The Lakers Tang Qian went down the pick-and-roll, the opponent shrunk to make up, Tang Qian went to the weak side of the ball, Ariza hit the basket and missed.Rudy Gobert, the Jazz's starting main center, was unable to play due to injury, so the inside line has dropped a lot relatively, but he still relied on the strong contraction of the inside line to block the Lakers' offense.Then it is quickly pushed over, which is a direct lateral move.

It's really simple enough, playing like this is like playing wild ball.It's not like playing in the NBA professional league.

But people just entered tonight.

Tang Qian held the ball inside, the Jazz resolutely shrank the defense, Tang Qian passed the ball, and Rondo missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

The Jazz were defended for a layup, and the Lakers caused an inside kill and made 2 of 1 free throws.The Jazz still hasn't changed. An ordinary pick-and-roll who can't be more ordinary without the ball cuts outside, catches the ball and shoots backwards.Here, can I still go in?
in.

It seems that the Jazz's offense tonight is mainly concentrated on the outside, and they have always followed through on this point, and they have not easily wavered.To sum up, this paragraph of the Jazz is just a few words, all kinds of simple pick-and-roll screen projections.That's it, the Lakers are a little bit defensive.Some of the slightly impatient ones couldn't help cursing in their hearts: Good luck!Damn!

It's true that luck plays a part. What if it doesn't feel good to play like this?Basically the first quarter will be rubbed off.

So this is one of the reasons why the Lakers are more resentful.

The Jazz's contraction is also very good. Tang Qian has a lot of opportunities to pass out, but the outside line feels a little cold, and the sound of iron strikes sounds like he doesn't want money. The fans on the scene are palpitations.On the Lakers side, there is actually no real pure shooter.The most accurate three-point shooter in the starting lineup is Ariza. This season, 3% of the three-pointers are based on the fact that most of them are fixed-point shots, which is not bad.The current league is different from before, and the three-point ability has improved too much.Secondly, it is Rondo.Rondo's shots are less or less, but there are also 7%.Butler has the worst three-pointers this season, less than 3%.

Compared with his last season, it has dropped by eight or nine percentage points.Xia Tian put too much effort into training with the ball and fixed-point shooting, but he was a little negligent. He is not that kind of shooter physique, so the decline is normal.Didn't you see that James in the East didn't practice three-pointers much in the summer, and this season is also a bit horrible.People like them need a lot of three-point practice to keep them.

Relying not on talent, but on muscle memory.

If you practice more, you will be on time, but if you practice less, it will be easy to fall.

Butler made 4 outside three-pointers this time, and none of them went in. This is also very worrying.

But the Lakers also have another way, that is, Tang Qian began to devote a lot of energy to compete for offensive rebounds while the opposite center was away.When you get the ball, pass it as far as you can.Tang Qian's defense here is too tight and shrinks too much. If he really can't open the outside line, then he has no way to play well.For example, O'Neal, who can't open the outside line, do you think he can really fight the whole game with one against five?So Tang Qian didn't put pressure on the outside line, and tried to help them take more shots to find the touch.

Slowly, the touch has improved, and if the three-pointer is missed, it can also be changed to a 2-pointer.

The score difference between the two sides increased anxiously, and the Lakers entered the locker room with a 3-point lead.But in many cases, the first half doesn't mean anything, and the game may be spent in one quarter if the game is stalemate.So it was only the first half, and the Lakers themselves were not in a hurry.Winning should be certain, but you must improve your touch and help Tang Qian open up space.

And at this moment, they suddenly discovered that No. 29's face changed.
