Chapter 601
"CCTV, CCTV, welcome to watch the Warriors vs. Grizzlies game in the NBA regular season. I am Yu Jia. Today's game will be explained by Yang Yi and I...Okay, players from both sides have arrived Above, the Warriors' starters are Curry, Clay, Leonard, Green, Asik, and the Grizzlies' starters are Udrih, Courtney Lee, Jeff Green, Randolph, Gasol Jr. Conley still hasn't returned from injury ... Gasol got the ball and the game officially started!"
When the game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies was about to start, CCTV5 finally stopped playing the commercials, and the camera switched to the FedEx Arena.
Yang Yi added:
"I believe everyone is very concerned about today's game, especially the Warriors fans. The current record of the Warriors is 72 wins and 8 losses. As long as they win the Grizzlies, they can break the Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses and create the best regular season in the NBA." Record. In the past two days, some friends have been asking me on Weibo, saying, Mr. Yang, can the Warriors beat the Grizzlies? I think the Warriors can win the Grizzlies today. When this kind of record is broken, the Warriors must play with all their strength. go."
"Look at this ball first, Clay's three-pointer, the Grizzlies' defense is still slow, and Green has a screen, and Clay has a chance." Yu Jia said.
Just when the two of them seized the time to introduce the situation of the game, Clay used the cover to go out from the bottom corner and ran to the top of the arc. Courtney Lee was blocked by Green and slowed down a step. Randolph didn't come out directly. Clay raised the knife and hit the open three-pointer easily, 3:0.
Looking back, Randolph hit Green with a low back, the Warriors contracted, and Randolph gave Jeff Green the ball. down.
Yang Yi said:
"Little Gasol fought hard enough today. The ball was won by Asik on his shoulders. The difficulty is too high!"
"The Grizzlies and Spurs both have 54 wins now, and they are ranked sixth based on the advantage of the relationship between victory and defeat. If they lose, they will fall. It is also a desperate effort." Yu Jia said.
On the field, the Grizzlies reorganized the offense, Gasol took the ball from the free throw line to support him, and played a hand-off with Courtney Lee. Courtney Lee took the ball and made a two-pointer.
And when players need to stand up and score, Jokic and Antetokounmpo performed the best.
On the other side of the court, Antetokounmpo holds a basketball, stands on the free throw line, takes seven shots, then picks it up, pauses for a while, then throws it out, and repeats until he makes 10 free throws before coming to the side of the court , for dribbling exercises.
"Curry will definitely have to win the MVP again. He has won three MVPs in only six years of his career. This is the rhythm of surpassing Jordan!"
On the court, the Warriors attacked, Curry and Green played a pick-and-roll, but the Grizzlies still did not switch defenses or flank, relying on Udrih to cover and chase Curry.
After the fans opened the gift box, most of them liked it very much. They exchanged with the audience around them if they didn’t get the one they wanted. Some people found a boyfriend because of it, some found a girlfriend because of it, and some people opened the door to a new world because of it... …
Zhang Yu adjusted the lineup, Antetokounmpo and Wiggins played, Leonard and Green went off, Jogel also replaced Jeff Green and Courtney Lee, and replaced Carter and Nick Carasse s.
O'Neal said:
"Curry officially took the first step beyond Michael Jordan, let us wait and see, he will become the greatest player in history."
Asik's heavy dunk was like a heavy hammer, breaking the morale that the Grizzlies had finally accumulated.
The courage of this kind of headwind output is admirable, and the Warriors fans quickly gave them enough respect:
"Please come back and watch the NBA soon. If you don't watch the NBA, it will go bankrupt. Xiao Hua is kneeling at your door begging you to watch the game."
The momentum of the Warriors became stronger and stronger. Curry took over the ball and scored 21 points in a single quarter. After the third quarter, the Warriors led the Grizzlies by 92 points with 66:26.
Leonard singles Jeff Green, dribbles the ball with a cross step, breaks through on the right, enters the three-point line against Jeff Green, stops at the edge of the three-second zone, turns back, and shoulders Jeff Green , created shot space with his broad shoulders, turned over and hit a jumper, 16;4.
He walked over with a smile, took off his jersey, knelt down, touched Anthony's head, and handed over the jersey:
"Brother Yu, congratulations to the Warriors for breaking the record with 73 victories! Also, can you give Ah Lian more playing time, and don't let that Greek take over his family's position..."
"Brother Yu is domineering. The best record in NBA history was won by the head coach of Huaxia. Who dares to say that Huaxia people don't understand basketball?"
brush!
The basketball passed Courtney Lee's fingertips, spun rapidly and fell into the net, 11:2.
Jokic gave her a final wave, looked away, and began the real warm-up.
Today, many Curry fans came here from other cities to witness the Warriors' record-breaking 73 wins, and the momentum even overwhelmed the local Memphis Grizzlies fans.
"73 wins, Jordan has never done it, the championship must belong to the Warriors..."
After the Warriors win a game, Zhang Yu will post a simple Weibo to celebrate the victory. After the Warriors broke the record today, domestic fans have been waiting for him to post on Weibo after the game. After this Weibo was sent, The following quickly piled up with replies.
Therefore, in order to prepare for the playoffs, Zhang Yu will rest in a special way. The main lineup will only go up to play one quarter of the game, so that they will not miss the last regular season game at the Oracle Center, and then they will all rest. The stage is reserved for the substitute players.
"In the past, Alphabet was the end point of the final dunk. This time he played the role of Green. The timing of the pass was just right. He could be interfered by Gasol earlier and lost the passing space later. His improvement this season It's really too big, it can score and pass, the Grizzlies are going to be hard to play." Yang Yi praised.
The Warriors' bench must seize every opportunity to express themselves. The main force of the Nuggets does not want to lose to the opponent's bench lineup. Both sides want to win and are very serious.
"We don't want to either!"
When the players of the two teams came to the court to warm up, the atmosphere of the audience was ignited, even no less than an official game, and even the Nuggets players were taken aback.
Udrih is the backup point guard for the Grizzlies. Conley stepped in after being injured. He only made 28.6% of his three-pointers.
Green's screen was very solid, Udri was firmly blocked behind him, Curry dribbled and adjusted, and made a three-pointer, 14:4.
"Huh? Is there?" Cole was puzzled.
第三节打完,约基奇8投4中,罚球2中2,砍下10分3助攻3篮板,阿德托昆博6中5,罚球4中2,砍下12分4篮板1助攻1封盖,勇士以84:80反超掘金4分。
……
"You see, I'm warming up. After the game is over, I'll give you an autograph, okay?"
"Hey, Giannis, can... can I have an autograph?"
On this day, the hearts of fans all over the world are touched by the Warriors.
"Hey, Nicola, catch the ball!" Gallinari passed a ball to Jokic, pointed his right hand to the sidelines, and said loudly, "Be serious, I will play well later, see, there is a little girl over there, I came here to watch you play!"
"Warriors won 73 wins and Curry is not worthy of MVP, Cavaliers wins 55 and James is the strongest in the league, it's the father-in-law of the East Factory who knows the ball!"
In the first quarter, Zhang Yu did not make substitution adjustments, the main players played the first quarter, and the Warriors led the Nuggets by 34 points 27:7.
The Warriors then changed their defense and continued to shrink and attack, preferring to give the Grizzlies a three-pointer from the outside, but also to limit the scoring of black and white Shuangsha inside.
Udrih took the ball and broke through directly. Leonard made up in front of him and blocked his breakthrough route. The Grizzlies' offense stalled.
Antetokounmpo sends the baseline ball, Wiggins screens for Curry on the other side of the basket, Curry moves up the line, Jeff Green and Calathes both chase Curry, Wiggins goes to the basket Empty cut, received a pass from Antetokounmpo, and easily dunked, 28:14.
After the Warriors returned to the locker room, there was another round of celebration.
Zhang Yu saw through the weakness of the Grizzlies. On the Grizzlies bench, Jogel was helpless.
On the sidelines, Joeger watched the Warriors get whatever they wanted, but the Grizzlies wanted to score but it was so difficult, and he was also very anxious.
Of course Xiao Hua will not miss this record moment:
Warriors fans were ecstatic:
But this was only a short respite for the Grizzlies. In the second half, under the resolute contraction of the Warriors, the Grizzlies still couldn't open the inside line and could only rely on the three-pointer to survive.
But Curry didn't care about this. He stopped outside the three-point line, facing Courtney Lee's defense, raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.
"If you don't understand, just ask, how many people were eliminated in the 90s NBA? Why did the former players play for more than ten years, and Curry had to be eliminated after playing a few games? Are they all supermen?"
Jokic seems to play casually and has various shooting postures, but he is able to send the ball to the most suitable position and make those difficult shots, which is amazing.
After the start of the second quarter, the two teams changed into a rotation lineup. Leonard and Green came on the field with a substitute. Jogel could only let Gasol stay on the field, and Randolph rested.
After the main Warriors came back, the Grizzlies never narrowed the point difference. At the end of the second quarter, the Warriors led the Grizzlies by 67 points 49:18 and entered the intermission.
The smile on Antetokounmpo's face froze, then returned to normal:
As soon as Gasol got the ball, he was double-teamed. The Grizzlies couldn't open the paint and could only shoot three-pointers.
Antetokounmpo smiled, grabbed a basketball with his right hand, and said to the little boy:
On April 4, the league arranged 13 games, with 12 teams participating, but all eyes were on the game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies.
"I'm not afraid. I will exercise well. I will take a walk every day for half an hour each time." Anthony said proudly.
Instead of going to the basket, he dribbled a bit, and before Clay's pincer came, he turned over and shot a jumper, and scored with cricket, 11:4.
……
"What does this poem mean? Who will translate it?"
This made the Grizzlies fans at the scene excited, and Yu Jia also said unexpectedly:
"Hey, Jordan Adams actually stood up. He played only 8.3 minutes and scored 2.3 points. Today he became a surprise soldier on the Grizzlies bench."
"Ronan, I was so anxious that the Bulls won 72 wins. Before that season, Michael paid at the end of the season, but we were eliminated in the second round. People were questioning whether Michael was still dominant. Then he Just led the team to 72 wins and shut up everyone's mouth... We are very similar to then. We lost the championship last season and then broke the regular season record. We will definitely be able to compete with the Bulls Win the same championship, 73 wins will be remembered forever!"
With his help, the Warriors extended their lead to 5 points at 45 minutes and 18 seconds into the first quarter.
Jokic raised his left hand and made a face at her, and the smile on the little girl's face became even brighter.
Zhang Yu laughed:
"You're a little bit wrong, Steve."
"Boss, we will definitely win the championship!"
"Youdri has no offensive threat at all on the court. The Grizzlies' offense depends entirely on the inside." Yu Jia said.
"Ok."
"Fine, keep that hunger and we can win it all!"
This time the Grizzlies were ready, and Carter came up to respond, but Antetokounmpo directly gave up on Gasol's defense, and followed him, entangled with Carter, and Jordan Adams was not sure and dared not pass the ball. .
Just when social media was already crazy about the Warriors, Zhang Yu, who had finished the interview, did not tweet, but posted a Weibo:
"Yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break Loulan, you will never return it."
At the moment when the red light came on, the Warriors players who had already been ready to go rushed out of the bench, came to the field, hugged with their teammates, laughed, shouted, and danced, wildly celebrating the game that is destined to be loaded. A victory in NBA history.
On the field, Gasol sent a dropped ball, and Jordan Adams dribbled the ball just over halftime, and was flanked by the Warriors!
Clay and Wiggins, one left and one right, rushed towards Jordan Adams, and Jordan Adams was forced to the sideline.
"Maybe not 73 wins, but 74 wins."
"That's right, Conley's three-pointers, organization and defense are what the Grizzlies need very much. He is the Grizzlies' outside anchor. If he doesn't play, the Grizzlies' offense depends entirely on the inside, so it's much easier to defend." Yu Jia echoed. road.
……
"Good shot! The Warriors' classic pick-and-roll coordination. Curry attracts two people to defend, hand it over to Alphabet, Alphabet breaks through to the penalty area, two-for-one under the basket, attracts the defense and then passes Asik an alley-oop. The Grizzlies' defense is complete. It was pierced!" Yu Jia said.
Gasol did not get rid of Asik's defense and turned to post-up singles.
Udrih couldn't get rid of Leonard's defense, and passed the ball before the 24-second time limit. It was too late for Courtney-Lee to make another shot, and the Grizzlies violated the 24-second offense.
They are all looking forward to playing against each other next time.
"I will never accept it, it's terrible..."
God of Wealth blesses me, all my clothes are printed, and I am just waiting for the Warriors to win, but I must break the record of the Bulls!
The champagne that had been prepared was sprayed into the air again and again, everyone was bathed in the champagne rain, and the rich aroma permeated the dressing room.
Cole was quite emotional:
Looking back, the Grizzlies continued to attack the inside, Randolph singled Green in the low post, Curry recovered the pincer attack, Randolph gave the ball to Udrih, who caught the ball and shot, missed a three-pointer, and the long rebound fell to Curry inside.
The Nuggets had an advantage in the lineup and began to recover the point difference. At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 60:62, and the Warriors trailed the Nuggets by 2 points.
Antetokounmpo grinned, took off his sneakers, put them on the ground, and looked up at Anthony's father:
"Do you have a pen?"
In a panic, he wanted to pass the ball to Vince Carter, who came from the weak side 45 to respond. Antetokounmpo broke out from the inside, intercepted the ball, ran all the way to the frontcourt, and succeeded in a fast break dunk , 30:14.
The Warriors launched a counterattack. The Grizzlies' two insiders were not fast. They also tried to grab the offensive rebounds. The retreat speed was very slow. Wipe the board and make a layup, 5:0.
No matter which team's fan, whether he likes or hates the Warriors, on this day, he was overwhelmed by the Warriors' 73 wins.
Several people agreed to come down one after another. Zhang Yu tore off the soaked shirt, threw it aside, and said with his upper body bare:
Klay chases very hard, pushing his way past the screen and blocking Courtney Lee's shot.
On the court, the Warriors attacked, Curry held the ball at the top of the arc, and played a pick-and-roll with Asik. Gasol was a step slower when he came out of the defense. Curry directly made a three-pointer, 8:2.
After the game, the two young men from Europe hugged each other, smiled at each other, and did not speak, but they could see the strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
"Curry's third mvp is secured! If he can't win the mvp, I'll eat my phone, computer, and tablet!"
Zhang Yu gave him unlimited fire rights, but he couldn't really attack every ball by himself.
"It's a pity that Conley is not here. He underwent facial fracture surgery yesterday. If he can play, the Grizzlies' offense does not need to be launched from the inside every round. Conley, Gasol Jr., and Randolph's pick-and-roll are very threatening. " Yang Yi looked down at the information and added.
"73 wins will never happen again. The league has developed for more than 60 years, and they have created history! We are fortunate to witness such a historical legend. Congratulations to the Warriors and Curry!"
Warriors fans began to take notice of the white center, who wasn't fast or jumped high.
After the timeout, the two sides returned to the field and the game continued.
Asik firmly stuck Gasol behind him this time, got the rebound and passed it to Curry.
Antetokounmpo sweeps around on the defensive end, erecting a copper wall and an iron wall. When he is fast-breaking and counterattacking, he will always charge forward. Although the positional battle can only break through the frame with one move, but with long legs, the effect is surprisingly good.
In the next 2 minutes, the Grizzlies chased another 5 points, but Jogel looked at the 2-point difference in 16 minutes, sighed, replaced the main force, and the game entered garbage time.
"The defensive intensity in the past was much higher than it is now. If Curry returns to the 90s, he will be scrapped after playing a few games. There is no gold content in 73 wins."
Jokic is still the best player in the Nuggets. In the second quarter, he scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. He teamed up with Gallinari, who scored 6 points, to help the team achieve a lead.
Thinking of that terrible scene, everyone was gearing up and fighting high, wishing they could go to the finals in the next second.
After the first quarter, the Warriors led the Grizzlies by 41 points 22:19. Carter made two key open three-pointers to keep the point difference from opening to more than 20 points.
This is the last regular season game played by the Warriors at the Oracle Center, and it is also the first game where the Warriors won 73 wins, which is of extraordinary significance.
"Throughout this season, the Warriors have maintained a very high level of competition. They fight with clear goals every night. Their amazing shooting ability and team play have captured fans all over the world. Congratulations to the Warriors for their 73 wins. Salute to the great Warriors! They are a model of success in the sports arena!"
Udrih couldn't make a three-pointer, didn't break through, didn't defend, and could only pass a safety ball, which was a burden on the court.
"No problem, boss!"
"Good shot! Curry's ball is very smart. First, he slowed down and leaned against Courtney Lee, so that he couldn't jump up, and then added a small tie rod, so Jeff Green couldn't reach it at all." Yang Yi praised.
After thinking about it, Jogel can only emphasize attention to retreating defenses, telling Udry not to shoot three-pointers when he is emptied, to attack the Warriors inside more, attract the defense and then divide the ball, try to hit the ball to the basket, and play more pick-and-rolls, otherwise Lan Dove and Gasol were too uncomfortable being flanked in the low post.
Jordan Adams continued to be flanked, and Jogel didn't want to use Udrih again. In desperation, he let Carter play the point guard, and the Grizzlies could take the ball safely across the half and hand it over to Gasol and Randolph. .
The Warriors fans had the upper hand and suppressed the last bit of slander. Except for this small group of people, there is no one who does not admit that the Warriors are strong. The major commentators and celebrities also praised the Warriors.
In the fourth quarter, the main force of the Warriors played another 4 minutes, extending the lead to 31 points. The game completely lost suspense, and Zhang Yu replaced the full bench lineup.
"This is the gravitational effect of Curry. Curry attracted two people's defense. No one cares about Wiggins. If Gasol wants to make up the defense, it will be too late." Yang Yi said.
From five o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of fans gathered outside the Oracle Center. An hour before the start of the game, the auditorium was almost full.
However, at this moment, no one cares about Barkley's views. Many Warriors fans even went to Barkley's Twitter to express their gratitude to him for not being optimistic about the Warriors winning the championship. Continue to look down on the Warriors during the playoffs.
Zhang Yu smiled and said:
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 114:102, with a record of 73 wins and 8 losses, successfully breaking the Bulls' 19-year record for the best record in the NBA regular season!
Curry played 33 minutes, made 25 of 14 shots, 13 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scored 41 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. In this much-anticipated game, he personally ended the Grizzlies .
"Boss, we won!"
But there are still some people who dismiss the Warriors' 73 wins:
"What's wrong with the current NBA? You can win 73 games by shooting three-pointers. A bunch of softies. They don't have the iron-blooded demeanor they used to. So don't watch them!"
"We'll be so defensive later..."
Although the Warriors players were in a bit of a bad state after returning to the Bay Area because of the overnight carnival celebration the day before yesterday, but the strength gap between the two teams was too large, and the Warriors easily took the lead.
On the sidelines, Zhang Yu was also very surprised to see a second-round pick from the Grizzlies suddenly explode.
"Di-"
Jordan Adams hits 40 percent of his [-]-pointers and is more of an offensive threat than Udrih.
Antetokounmpo turned his head to see Anthony and his dad approaching.
Bang!
Curry immediately set off a counterattack, but this time the Grizzlies retreated very quickly and did not give the Warriors another chance to play a fast break.
Udry hesitated for a moment, not daring to shoot a three-pointer, and handed the ball to Gasol who went down.
Antetokounmpo laughed:
"Then you have to work hard, this is a very difficult thing."
At 6 minutes and 12 seconds into the second quarter, relying on Antetokounmpo's outstanding performance of 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, the Warriors led the Nuggets by 10 points, Mike Malone returned to the main force, and Zhang Yu also made substitutions , The Warriors' third lineup debuted.
At 8 minutes and 14 seconds into the second quarter, the Warriors' lead had expanded to 24 points, and Jogel quickly switched back to the main lineup.
He also saw that Udrih was useless on both offense and defense.
Smith said:
"Who remembers what the Warriors were like six years ago? Coach Z transformed this team. He is one of the greatest head coaches in NBA history, and that's just what he accomplished in six years. I don't know where the limit of this Warriors team is, we may be witnessing the greatest show in NBA history!"
Antetokounmpo signed his name on his jersey, on his shoes, on Anthony's jersey, and then touched Anthony's head:
Phil Jackson, who coached the Bulls to 72 wins, also posted a tweet:
"Congratulations to the Warriors. Congratulations to Coach Z, Steve, and Curry. The journey to 73 wins is an unbelievably great achievement. Your performance is very memorable."
Anthony's eyes widened, and he nodded like a chicken pecking rice:
"I don't dislike it, I... I'm very happy, thank you, Giannis!"
"Anthony, if you don't mind, I will give you this jersey and my sneakers."
Before the game, Zhang Yu announced that the playing time of the main players would be limited. The fans at the scene had been prepared and were not disappointed.
Antetokounmpo came to the sidelines, looked left and right, and suddenly, a childish voice came from the side:
"Hey Giannis, I'm here!"
He didn't know Jordan Adams at all, he didn't know his technical characteristics, but after thinking about it for a while, he came up with a way to deal with it.
After the timeout, the two teams returned to the field and the game continued.
"Why does Curry get the mvp? The Warriors were second in the Western Conference last season, and this season they are first in the Western Conference, and their ranking has risen by one. James has brought the Cavaliers from the bottom two in the East to the second in the East. Isn't it much better than Curry? "
"Yeah, Stephen, we won!"
"But the Grizzlies have no other point guards, and Jogel has to think about whether to change Udrih back." Yu Jia said.
Green sent the baseline ball, Curry dribbled the ball across half court, and handed it to Leonard.
"Thank you for coming to my game, Anthony."
Even though Jokic continued to attack in the low post, assisted and scored, the Warriors still had the upper hand, expanding their lead little by little.
Veteran fans *** did not forget to express their love for the Warriors:
"Congratulations to the Warriors. This is a group of great people on and off the court. If a team had to break the Bulls' legendary record, I'm glad it was them."
After he came on the field, he immediately punished the Warriors for the shorting, and made two consecutive three-pointers, narrowing the point difference to 12 points.
……
"Although the Warriors have broken the record, I guarantee that the Warriors will never win the championship. Whether it is the Bulls or the Cavaliers, they can cause a lot of trouble for the Warriors..."
"Oh, Anthony, why did you run so far alone!"
Afterwards, he took the little boy's hand, and the two walked up the stairs. Antetokounmpo watched their figures, and did not sit down until he was at the back of the second stand.
Anthony nodded slightly, and the smile on the Asian man's face became even stronger:
"Thank you, Giannis, our seats are on the top, we will go back first, I wish you a good performance tonight!"
The round changed, Gasol Jr. received the ball from the free throw line, and the rest of the Grizzlies pulled away. Gasol turned around and singled Asik face-to-face.
The round changed, and the Grizzlies continued to attack Randolph in the low post. Leonard immediately came up to flank, Randolph gave Jeff Green, Clay rushed towards him, and Jeff Green gave Udry again.
The two come and go, Jokic assists the opponent and hits a three-pointer, Antetokounmpo sends a block; Jokic plays with a back, the dream footsteps sway Olynik, hits a hook, and Antetokounmpo After the pick-and-roll, Kumbo and Dinwiddie caught the ball and passed Gallinari, strode into the penalty area and dunked successfully.
……
Antetokounmpo scored 4 points and 2 assists. After a season of training, his passing is getting better and better, and he can handle four-on-three situations with ease.
Reggie Miller praised:
"Curry is the number one shooter in NBA history. After this game, he made 380 three-pointers, breaking the record of 365 three-pointers created by himself last season. This is really crazy!"
"Jiu Leu Yu, don't come out and be ashamed. Brother Yu understands very well that 73 wins is not the end, winning the championship is the goal!"
"The Warriors changed their defense and started pinching Jordan Adams. Now it's time to test his handling of the ball. If he can't get the ball to Gasol and Randolph, the Grizzlies' offense will be difficult to develop." Yang Yi said .
"It took just over 3 minutes to play, and the Warriors led by 12 points. The Grizzlies' offense and defense had big problems. Conley is really important to the Grizzlies." Yang Yi said.
"He has a congenital heart disease and cannot exercise vigorously..." Anthony's father whispered.
On the field, the Warriors sent a sideline kick, and Curry and Antetokounmpo played a pick-and-roll. Randolph didn't dare to squat anymore, and came up to delay Curry's shot.
Gasol's footsteps are not fast, but he is still better than Asik. After a shake, he breaks through on the right, half a body ahead of Asik, enters the penalty area, and comes to the basket and raises his hand to feint. , received the ball and turned around, hit the hook, 5:2.
In order to compete with the Spurs for the sixth ranking, Jogel has already played this game as a playoff, shortening the rotation and greatly increasing the playing time of the main players.
"Didn't we agree that if we win this game, we will take a rest next game?" Cole was taken aback.
In the second quarter, the Warriors replaced the full bench lineup, the Nuggets rotated normally, and the Warriors continued to expand their lead.
……
The two came to the field and joined the celebration.
Neutral fans were also impressed by the Warriors' toughness:
Curry lobbed to Antetokounmpo who was going down, Gasol came up to help defend, Antetokounmpo threw the ball into the sky, Asik jumped high, smashed the ball into the basket with one hand, 32:14.
Zhang Yu waved his hand vigorously, then stroked his wet hair, took off his wrinkled pants in embarrassment, and ran to take a bath amidst laughter.
Zhang Yu was the person who was poured the most champagne, and finally caught a chance to make him "make a fool of himself". The players who are usually intimidated by his "pretentious power" will never let go of this good opportunity.
For the Warriors, the regular season is actually over, and tomorrow's game against the Nuggets is just a celebration.
"Hey, Harden worked hard. The Rockets only won 55 games, 18 games less than the Warriors, and the gap from second to tenth in the Western Conference is even bigger. How will they play in the playoffs?"
"Today is a day we will always remember. We won 73 wins, broke the record, and are the strongest regular season team in NBA history. I am proud of you! But this is not the end, we still have one more important The goal has not been achieved, I don't want to be said to be the runner-up with 73 wins, how about you?"
The next day, the Warriors, who had celebrated all night at the nightclub, returned to the Bay Area, and Zhang Yu gave the team a day off.
During the timeout, the Warriors players returned to the bench. Zhang Yu took the tactical board, drew the position of each player on it, and said loudly:
In the second half, the Warriors started with a full bench lineup, and the Nuggets' main lineup debuted, and the intensity of the game gradually increased.
There were also applause and cheers in the auditorium of the FedEx Arena.
But soon, he changed his mind.
"Hahaha, 73 wins, no one before, no one in the future, awesome!"
"Yes! Please, Giannis, Anthony likes you very much. The room is covered with posters of you. He bought this jersey with his own housework and saved money. He cherishes it very much and only wears it when watching games... …The Asian man pulls out a marker and hands it to Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo was like a tiger coming out of the cage, blasting the Nuggets' substitute insider Jeffrey Lowenji one-on-one, and succeeded in consecutive breakthroughs.
In the next round, Clay made an air cut layup and was fanned out of the baseline by Gasol Jr., and the game entered an official timeout. Zhang Yu changed his defensive strategy:
Jogel struggled again, and the main lineup narrowed the point difference to 4 points in 21 minutes. The speed of chasing points was very fast, but time was not enough.
Now, Jogel couldn't sit still. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he replaced Udrih with Jordan Adams, the No. 28 rookie in the second round who had only played 22 times this season.
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded behind Antetokounmpo. He turned around and found that it was a thin Asian boy about 10 years old.
But it didn't work. The Warriors have the deepest lineup in the league. Zhang Yu also deliberately let Leonard and Green take the bench. Compared with the starting lineup, the defense is not inferior at all.
On April 4th, at 15 pm, the Warriors played against the Nuggets at home.
……
On each seat, there is a gift box. After opening, there are random gifts for warriors, including hats, gloves, scarves, dolls, etc., which are exquisitely made. Nearly 50 gifts are worth more than [-] US dollars.
In the fourth quarter, the Warriors relied on the advantage of the lineup to open up the offensive space, while Jokic and Gallinari were not good at defending. Distribute to teammates to drive the Warriors to attack as a whole.
"Stephen, well done! Just play like this later, play pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, attack directly when you have the opportunity, try to go to the center, 10 points advantage is not enough. The defensive end needs to be adjusted, Stephen, you go against Courtney -Lee, Klay, you go to Udrih, but don't worry about him, he has no offensive ability, as long as Randolph and Gasol play singles in the interior, you shrink and attack..."
Jokic caught the basketball and followed his gaze, only to see a 4-year-old Caucasian girl in the fourth row of auditorium, wearing the Nuggets No. 10 jersey, waving at him excitedly.
……
The defense of the two teams is not good. The Warriors are due to the players paddling, and the Nuggets are due to lack of strength.
If Conley is not injured, the Grizzlies can still deal with the Warriors, but Conley can't play, the Grizzlies cut off their own arm, and there is almost no outside threat. They can only rely on Randolph and Gasol to attack the Warriors inside. Against the Warriors.
"The Warriors blocked Jordan Adams' passing route. Jogel can no longer let him hold the ball. He shoots accurately, but he can't handle the ball. He can only be used as a spot-up shooter." Yang Yi said.
But Curry, like every game in the past, came to Zhang Yu, hugged him, and shouted:
But the Warriors fans at the scene did not notice this seemingly harmless white center. Their attention was all on the Warriors, cheering for every goal the Warriors scored.
Maddie said:
The whistle sounded and Grizzlies coach Dave Jogel called a timeout.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 106:101 and won the last regular season game at the Oracle Center, with a record of 74 wins and 8 losses.
But just like what Zhang Yu said to Cole, he doesn't care about winning or losing this game, and the fans don't care either. They just want to celebrate the Warriors breaking the record at home.
At eight o'clock, the game officially started, and the atmosphere in the Oracle Center reached its climax at this moment.
This plan has been unanimously approved by the whole team. The starters can take turns and will not miss this commemorative celebration. The substitutes will have more playing time. Everyone is happy.
"I'm going right now!"
The ticket price for this game has at least doubled compared to usual, but after it went on sale, it was still sold out quickly.
After the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies and broke the 72-win record, public opinion was completely detonated.
However, apart from him at the point guard position, the Grizzlies only have Jordan Adams and Russ Smith as two drinking fountain administrators. Jogel really has no one to use, so he can only keep him on the court.
The Grizzlies attacked, and Uderian played a pick-and-roll with Gasol according to Jogel's arrangement. As a result, Asik squatted, and Clay walked off the line to screen and let him shoot directly.
Moreover, Zhang Yu equipped Antetokounmpo with Dinwiddie, Olynyk, Danny Green, and Middleton as four space points. Keech is more efficient.
Jordan Adams can make an open three-pointer, but Zhang Yu doesn't believe that he can still handle the ball, otherwise Jogel couldn't have kept Conley looking at the water cooler after he was injured.
And he was surrounded by Wiggins and Clay, and he couldn't see where the others were. He could only hold the ball in his arms, struggling hard, trying to avoid the pressure of the two, and accidentally moved his supporting foot, which was blocked by the referee. Calling a walking violation, the ball came to the Warriors.
Zhang Yu waited another 2 minutes and changed players according to the regular time. The Grizzlies took the opportunity to narrow the point difference to less than 20 points.
Although there were no fireworks flying all over the sky, or the golden ocean of the Oracle Center, this did not prevent everyone from expressing their joy.
Jokic played very well, but Antetokounmpo has a combination of offense and defense and has a greater influence on the game.
"No..." Antetokounmpo kept dribbling the ball in his hand, shook his head, and looked at the little boy, "Anthony, can you wait for me after the game? I have a gift for you. "
After Jokic made a mid-range shot, looking at the crazy Warriors fans, a trace of envy emerged in the bottom of his heart. If he was selected by the Warriors, he is now a member of the audience cheering...
The little boy stood on the sidelines, raised his head, and looked at Antetokounmpo timidly. He was wearing the Warriors' No. 34 jersey, his hands were twisted, and his big eyes were full of tension.
"This kind of big cross pass is too dangerous. Both Alphabet and Wiggins have long wingspans. Such a pass will be broken!" Yu Jia said.
On the court, the Grizzlies attacked, Jordan Adams dribbled the ball just after halftime, and the Warriors came up with a flank.
"Translate for me, what the fuck is called fucking invincible!"
The Warriors team celebrated wildly for a long time before slowly stopping. Zhang Yu vigorously wiped a handful of champagne with bubbles on his face, and said loudly amidst the suffocating aroma:
"Okay, stop for a while! Cough cough, there will be interviews later, Stephen, Clay, Drummond, Kawhi... and Giannis, go take a shower!"
Jokic is the one who played the best for the Nuggets Pearl. He made 4 of 3 shots, scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, with a high efficiency.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm just joking, we've already broken the record, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose the next game..."
Yang Yi looked at Curry, who was shaking his shoulders and dancing on the court, with a smile on his face, and said loudly:
"Curry scored 8 points in a row and stopped the Grizzlies. He is going to win the 73rd victory today and surpass Jordan!"
At this moment, an Asian man in his 30s ran over and smiled apologetically at Antetokounmpo:
"Sorry, Giannis, did he bother you warming up?"
"Junior Gasol is in good form today. He put together a front board from Asik's head, and his footsteps under the basket are also very beautiful. He suppressed Asik. The Grizzlies can only rely on him and Lando if they want to win. Husband." Yu Jia said.
Antetokounmpo waved at the little boy, looked away, and devoted himself to training.
Anthony held Antetokounmpo's jersey and sneakers, and said loudly:
"Giannis, I'm going to be a man like you, and I'm going to play in the NBA!"
But among the many praises, there are still discordant voices, Buckley (Note) said firmly:
Antetokounmpo scored 27 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 steal. Jokic had 25 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 2 steals. The two complemented each other. They achieved similar data in completely different ways and became today's protagonists. .
"Great, you're a little man now."
"Well! I exercise, you win the championship, you do what you say!"
"Then you can't be lazy, how about this, when we reach the finals, I invite you to watch the game, how about it?"
"Okay, I will cheer for you!"
Note: Barkley really said so at the time.
When the game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies was about to start, CCTV5 finally stopped playing the commercials, and the camera switched to the FedEx Arena.
Yang Yi added:
"I believe everyone is very concerned about today's game, especially the Warriors fans. The current record of the Warriors is 72 wins and 8 losses. As long as they win the Grizzlies, they can break the Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses and create the best regular season in the NBA." Record. In the past two days, some friends have been asking me on Weibo, saying, Mr. Yang, can the Warriors beat the Grizzlies? I think the Warriors can win the Grizzlies today. When this kind of record is broken, the Warriors must play with all their strength. go."
"Look at this ball first, Clay's three-pointer, the Grizzlies' defense is still slow, and Green has a screen, and Clay has a chance." Yu Jia said.
Just when the two of them seized the time to introduce the situation of the game, Clay used the cover to go out from the bottom corner and ran to the top of the arc. Courtney Lee was blocked by Green and slowed down a step. Randolph didn't come out directly. Clay raised the knife and hit the open three-pointer easily, 3:0.
Looking back, Randolph hit Green with a low back, the Warriors contracted, and Randolph gave Jeff Green the ball. down.
Yang Yi said:
"Little Gasol fought hard enough today. The ball was won by Asik on his shoulders. The difficulty is too high!"
"The Grizzlies and Spurs both have 54 wins now, and they are ranked sixth based on the advantage of the relationship between victory and defeat. If they lose, they will fall. It is also a desperate effort." Yu Jia said.
On the field, the Grizzlies reorganized the offense, Gasol took the ball from the free throw line to support him, and played a hand-off with Courtney Lee. Courtney Lee took the ball and made a two-pointer.
And when players need to stand up and score, Jokic and Antetokounmpo performed the best.
On the other side of the court, Antetokounmpo holds a basketball, stands on the free throw line, takes seven shots, then picks it up, pauses for a while, then throws it out, and repeats until he makes 10 free throws before coming to the side of the court , for dribbling exercises.
"Curry will definitely have to win the MVP again. He has won three MVPs in only six years of his career. This is the rhythm of surpassing Jordan!"
On the court, the Warriors attacked, Curry and Green played a pick-and-roll, but the Grizzlies still did not switch defenses or flank, relying on Udrih to cover and chase Curry.
After the fans opened the gift box, most of them liked it very much. They exchanged with the audience around them if they didn’t get the one they wanted. Some people found a boyfriend because of it, some found a girlfriend because of it, and some people opened the door to a new world because of it... …
Zhang Yu adjusted the lineup, Antetokounmpo and Wiggins played, Leonard and Green went off, Jogel also replaced Jeff Green and Courtney Lee, and replaced Carter and Nick Carasse s.
O'Neal said:
"Curry officially took the first step beyond Michael Jordan, let us wait and see, he will become the greatest player in history."
Asik's heavy dunk was like a heavy hammer, breaking the morale that the Grizzlies had finally accumulated.
The courage of this kind of headwind output is admirable, and the Warriors fans quickly gave them enough respect:
"Please come back and watch the NBA soon. If you don't watch the NBA, it will go bankrupt. Xiao Hua is kneeling at your door begging you to watch the game."
The momentum of the Warriors became stronger and stronger. Curry took over the ball and scored 21 points in a single quarter. After the third quarter, the Warriors led the Grizzlies by 92 points with 66:26.
Leonard singles Jeff Green, dribbles the ball with a cross step, breaks through on the right, enters the three-point line against Jeff Green, stops at the edge of the three-second zone, turns back, and shoulders Jeff Green , created shot space with his broad shoulders, turned over and hit a jumper, 16;4.
He walked over with a smile, took off his jersey, knelt down, touched Anthony's head, and handed over the jersey:
"Brother Yu, congratulations to the Warriors for breaking the record with 73 victories! Also, can you give Ah Lian more playing time, and don't let that Greek take over his family's position..."
"Brother Yu is domineering. The best record in NBA history was won by the head coach of Huaxia. Who dares to say that Huaxia people don't understand basketball?"
brush!
The basketball passed Courtney Lee's fingertips, spun rapidly and fell into the net, 11:2.
Jokic gave her a final wave, looked away, and began the real warm-up.
Today, many Curry fans came here from other cities to witness the Warriors' record-breaking 73 wins, and the momentum even overwhelmed the local Memphis Grizzlies fans.
"73 wins, Jordan has never done it, the championship must belong to the Warriors..."
After the Warriors win a game, Zhang Yu will post a simple Weibo to celebrate the victory. After the Warriors broke the record today, domestic fans have been waiting for him to post on Weibo after the game. After this Weibo was sent, The following quickly piled up with replies.
Therefore, in order to prepare for the playoffs, Zhang Yu will rest in a special way. The main lineup will only go up to play one quarter of the game, so that they will not miss the last regular season game at the Oracle Center, and then they will all rest. The stage is reserved for the substitute players.
"In the past, Alphabet was the end point of the final dunk. This time he played the role of Green. The timing of the pass was just right. He could be interfered by Gasol earlier and lost the passing space later. His improvement this season It's really too big, it can score and pass, the Grizzlies are going to be hard to play." Yang Yi praised.
The Warriors' bench must seize every opportunity to express themselves. The main force of the Nuggets does not want to lose to the opponent's bench lineup. Both sides want to win and are very serious.
"We don't want to either!"
When the players of the two teams came to the court to warm up, the atmosphere of the audience was ignited, even no less than an official game, and even the Nuggets players were taken aback.
Udrih is the backup point guard for the Grizzlies. Conley stepped in after being injured. He only made 28.6% of his three-pointers.
Green's screen was very solid, Udri was firmly blocked behind him, Curry dribbled and adjusted, and made a three-pointer, 14:4.
"Huh? Is there?" Cole was puzzled.
第三节打完,约基奇8投4中,罚球2中2,砍下10分3助攻3篮板,阿德托昆博6中5,罚球4中2,砍下12分4篮板1助攻1封盖,勇士以84:80反超掘金4分。
……
"You see, I'm warming up. After the game is over, I'll give you an autograph, okay?"
"Hey, Giannis, can... can I have an autograph?"
On this day, the hearts of fans all over the world are touched by the Warriors.
"Hey, Nicola, catch the ball!" Gallinari passed a ball to Jokic, pointed his right hand to the sidelines, and said loudly, "Be serious, I will play well later, see, there is a little girl over there, I came here to watch you play!"
"Warriors won 73 wins and Curry is not worthy of MVP, Cavaliers wins 55 and James is the strongest in the league, it's the father-in-law of the East Factory who knows the ball!"
In the first quarter, Zhang Yu did not make substitution adjustments, the main players played the first quarter, and the Warriors led the Nuggets by 34 points 27:7.
The Warriors then changed their defense and continued to shrink and attack, preferring to give the Grizzlies a three-pointer from the outside, but also to limit the scoring of black and white Shuangsha inside.
Udrih took the ball and broke through directly. Leonard made up in front of him and blocked his breakthrough route. The Grizzlies' offense stalled.
Antetokounmpo sends the baseline ball, Wiggins screens for Curry on the other side of the basket, Curry moves up the line, Jeff Green and Calathes both chase Curry, Wiggins goes to the basket Empty cut, received a pass from Antetokounmpo, and easily dunked, 28:14.
After the Warriors returned to the locker room, there was another round of celebration.
Zhang Yu saw through the weakness of the Grizzlies. On the Grizzlies bench, Jogel was helpless.
On the sidelines, Joeger watched the Warriors get whatever they wanted, but the Grizzlies wanted to score but it was so difficult, and he was also very anxious.
Of course Xiao Hua will not miss this record moment:
Warriors fans were ecstatic:
But this was only a short respite for the Grizzlies. In the second half, under the resolute contraction of the Warriors, the Grizzlies still couldn't open the inside line and could only rely on the three-pointer to survive.
But Curry didn't care about this. He stopped outside the three-point line, facing Courtney Lee's defense, raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.
"If you don't understand, just ask, how many people were eliminated in the 90s NBA? Why did the former players play for more than ten years, and Curry had to be eliminated after playing a few games? Are they all supermen?"
Jokic seems to play casually and has various shooting postures, but he is able to send the ball to the most suitable position and make those difficult shots, which is amazing.
After the start of the second quarter, the two teams changed into a rotation lineup. Leonard and Green came on the field with a substitute. Jogel could only let Gasol stay on the field, and Randolph rested.
After the main Warriors came back, the Grizzlies never narrowed the point difference. At the end of the second quarter, the Warriors led the Grizzlies by 67 points 49:18 and entered the intermission.
The smile on Antetokounmpo's face froze, then returned to normal:
As soon as Gasol got the ball, he was double-teamed. The Grizzlies couldn't open the paint and could only shoot three-pointers.
Antetokounmpo smiled, grabbed a basketball with his right hand, and said to the little boy:
On April 4, the league arranged 13 games, with 12 teams participating, but all eyes were on the game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies.
"I'm not afraid. I will exercise well. I will take a walk every day for half an hour each time." Anthony said proudly.
Instead of going to the basket, he dribbled a bit, and before Clay's pincer came, he turned over and shot a jumper, and scored with cricket, 11:4.
……
"What does this poem mean? Who will translate it?"
This made the Grizzlies fans at the scene excited, and Yu Jia also said unexpectedly:
"Hey, Jordan Adams actually stood up. He played only 8.3 minutes and scored 2.3 points. Today he became a surprise soldier on the Grizzlies bench."
"Ronan, I was so anxious that the Bulls won 72 wins. Before that season, Michael paid at the end of the season, but we were eliminated in the second round. People were questioning whether Michael was still dominant. Then he Just led the team to 72 wins and shut up everyone's mouth... We are very similar to then. We lost the championship last season and then broke the regular season record. We will definitely be able to compete with the Bulls Win the same championship, 73 wins will be remembered forever!"
With his help, the Warriors extended their lead to 5 points at 45 minutes and 18 seconds into the first quarter.
Jokic raised his left hand and made a face at her, and the smile on the little girl's face became even brighter.
Zhang Yu laughed:
"You're a little bit wrong, Steve."
"Boss, we will definitely win the championship!"
"Youdri has no offensive threat at all on the court. The Grizzlies' offense depends entirely on the inside." Yu Jia said.
"Ok."
"Fine, keep that hunger and we can win it all!"
This time the Grizzlies were ready, and Carter came up to respond, but Antetokounmpo directly gave up on Gasol's defense, and followed him, entangled with Carter, and Jordan Adams was not sure and dared not pass the ball. .
Just when social media was already crazy about the Warriors, Zhang Yu, who had finished the interview, did not tweet, but posted a Weibo:
"Yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break Loulan, you will never return it."
At the moment when the red light came on, the Warriors players who had already been ready to go rushed out of the bench, came to the field, hugged with their teammates, laughed, shouted, and danced, wildly celebrating the game that is destined to be loaded. A victory in NBA history.
On the field, Gasol sent a dropped ball, and Jordan Adams dribbled the ball just over halftime, and was flanked by the Warriors!
Clay and Wiggins, one left and one right, rushed towards Jordan Adams, and Jordan Adams was forced to the sideline.
"Maybe not 73 wins, but 74 wins."
"That's right, Conley's three-pointers, organization and defense are what the Grizzlies need very much. He is the Grizzlies' outside anchor. If he doesn't play, the Grizzlies' offense depends entirely on the inside, so it's much easier to defend." Yu Jia echoed. road.
……
"Good shot! The Warriors' classic pick-and-roll coordination. Curry attracts two people to defend, hand it over to Alphabet, Alphabet breaks through to the penalty area, two-for-one under the basket, attracts the defense and then passes Asik an alley-oop. The Grizzlies' defense is complete. It was pierced!" Yu Jia said.
Gasol did not get rid of Asik's defense and turned to post-up singles.
Udrih couldn't get rid of Leonard's defense, and passed the ball before the 24-second time limit. It was too late for Courtney-Lee to make another shot, and the Grizzlies violated the 24-second offense.
They are all looking forward to playing against each other next time.
"I will never accept it, it's terrible..."
God of Wealth blesses me, all my clothes are printed, and I am just waiting for the Warriors to win, but I must break the record of the Bulls!
The champagne that had been prepared was sprayed into the air again and again, everyone was bathed in the champagne rain, and the rich aroma permeated the dressing room.
Cole was quite emotional:
Looking back, the Grizzlies continued to attack the inside, Randolph singled Green in the low post, Curry recovered the pincer attack, Randolph gave the ball to Udrih, who caught the ball and shot, missed a three-pointer, and the long rebound fell to Curry inside.
The Nuggets had an advantage in the lineup and began to recover the point difference. At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 60:62, and the Warriors trailed the Nuggets by 2 points.
Antetokounmpo grinned, took off his sneakers, put them on the ground, and looked up at Anthony's father:
"Do you have a pen?"
In a panic, he wanted to pass the ball to Vince Carter, who came from the weak side 45 to respond. Antetokounmpo broke out from the inside, intercepted the ball, ran all the way to the frontcourt, and succeeded in a fast break dunk , 30:14.
The Warriors launched a counterattack. The Grizzlies' two insiders were not fast. They also tried to grab the offensive rebounds. The retreat speed was very slow. Wipe the board and make a layup, 5:0.
No matter which team's fan, whether he likes or hates the Warriors, on this day, he was overwhelmed by the Warriors' 73 wins.
Several people agreed to come down one after another. Zhang Yu tore off the soaked shirt, threw it aside, and said with his upper body bare:
Klay chases very hard, pushing his way past the screen and blocking Courtney Lee's shot.
On the court, the Warriors attacked, Curry held the ball at the top of the arc, and played a pick-and-roll with Asik. Gasol was a step slower when he came out of the defense. Curry directly made a three-pointer, 8:2.
After the game, the two young men from Europe hugged each other, smiled at each other, and did not speak, but they could see the strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
"Curry's third mvp is secured! If he can't win the mvp, I'll eat my phone, computer, and tablet!"
Zhang Yu gave him unlimited fire rights, but he couldn't really attack every ball by himself.
"It's a pity that Conley is not here. He underwent facial fracture surgery yesterday. If he can play, the Grizzlies' offense does not need to be launched from the inside every round. Conley, Gasol Jr., and Randolph's pick-and-roll are very threatening. " Yang Yi looked down at the information and added.
"73 wins will never happen again. The league has developed for more than 60 years, and they have created history! We are fortunate to witness such a historical legend. Congratulations to the Warriors and Curry!"
Warriors fans began to take notice of the white center, who wasn't fast or jumped high.
After the timeout, the two sides returned to the field and the game continued.
Asik firmly stuck Gasol behind him this time, got the rebound and passed it to Curry.
Antetokounmpo sweeps around on the defensive end, erecting a copper wall and an iron wall. When he is fast-breaking and counterattacking, he will always charge forward. Although the positional battle can only break through the frame with one move, but with long legs, the effect is surprisingly good.
In the next 2 minutes, the Grizzlies chased another 5 points, but Jogel looked at the 2-point difference in 16 minutes, sighed, replaced the main force, and the game entered garbage time.
"The defensive intensity in the past was much higher than it is now. If Curry returns to the 90s, he will be scrapped after playing a few games. There is no gold content in 73 wins."
Jokic is still the best player in the Nuggets. In the second quarter, he scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. He teamed up with Gallinari, who scored 6 points, to help the team achieve a lead.
Thinking of that terrible scene, everyone was gearing up and fighting high, wishing they could go to the finals in the next second.
After the first quarter, the Warriors led the Grizzlies by 41 points 22:19. Carter made two key open three-pointers to keep the point difference from opening to more than 20 points.
This is the last regular season game played by the Warriors at the Oracle Center, and it is also the first game where the Warriors won 73 wins, which is of extraordinary significance.
"Throughout this season, the Warriors have maintained a very high level of competition. They fight with clear goals every night. Their amazing shooting ability and team play have captured fans all over the world. Congratulations to the Warriors for their 73 wins. Salute to the great Warriors! They are a model of success in the sports arena!"
Udrih couldn't make a three-pointer, didn't break through, didn't defend, and could only pass a safety ball, which was a burden on the court.
"No problem, boss!"
"Good shot! Curry's ball is very smart. First, he slowed down and leaned against Courtney Lee, so that he couldn't jump up, and then added a small tie rod, so Jeff Green couldn't reach it at all." Yang Yi praised.
After thinking about it, Jogel can only emphasize attention to retreating defenses, telling Udry not to shoot three-pointers when he is emptied, to attack the Warriors inside more, attract the defense and then divide the ball, try to hit the ball to the basket, and play more pick-and-rolls, otherwise Lan Dove and Gasol were too uncomfortable being flanked in the low post.
Jordan Adams continued to be flanked, and Jogel didn't want to use Udrih again. In desperation, he let Carter play the point guard, and the Grizzlies could take the ball safely across the half and hand it over to Gasol and Randolph. .
The Warriors fans had the upper hand and suppressed the last bit of slander. Except for this small group of people, there is no one who does not admit that the Warriors are strong. The major commentators and celebrities also praised the Warriors.
In the fourth quarter, the main force of the Warriors played another 4 minutes, extending the lead to 31 points. The game completely lost suspense, and Zhang Yu replaced the full bench lineup.
"This is the gravitational effect of Curry. Curry attracted two people's defense. No one cares about Wiggins. If Gasol wants to make up the defense, it will be too late." Yang Yi said.
From five o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of fans gathered outside the Oracle Center. An hour before the start of the game, the auditorium was almost full.
However, at this moment, no one cares about Barkley's views. Many Warriors fans even went to Barkley's Twitter to express their gratitude to him for not being optimistic about the Warriors winning the championship. Continue to look down on the Warriors during the playoffs.
Zhang Yu smiled and said:
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 114:102, with a record of 73 wins and 8 losses, successfully breaking the Bulls' 19-year record for the best record in the NBA regular season!
Curry played 33 minutes, made 25 of 14 shots, 13 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scored 41 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. In this much-anticipated game, he personally ended the Grizzlies .
"Boss, we won!"
But there are still some people who dismiss the Warriors' 73 wins:
"What's wrong with the current NBA? You can win 73 games by shooting three-pointers. A bunch of softies. They don't have the iron-blooded demeanor they used to. So don't watch them!"
"We'll be so defensive later..."
Although the Warriors players were in a bit of a bad state after returning to the Bay Area because of the overnight carnival celebration the day before yesterday, but the strength gap between the two teams was too large, and the Warriors easily took the lead.
On the sidelines, Zhang Yu was also very surprised to see a second-round pick from the Grizzlies suddenly explode.
"Di-"
Jordan Adams hits 40 percent of his [-]-pointers and is more of an offensive threat than Udrih.
Antetokounmpo turned his head to see Anthony and his dad approaching.
Bang!
Curry immediately set off a counterattack, but this time the Grizzlies retreated very quickly and did not give the Warriors another chance to play a fast break.
Udry hesitated for a moment, not daring to shoot a three-pointer, and handed the ball to Gasol who went down.
Antetokounmpo laughed:
"Then you have to work hard, this is a very difficult thing."
At 6 minutes and 12 seconds into the second quarter, relying on Antetokounmpo's outstanding performance of 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, the Warriors led the Nuggets by 10 points, Mike Malone returned to the main force, and Zhang Yu also made substitutions , The Warriors' third lineup debuted.
At 8 minutes and 14 seconds into the second quarter, the Warriors' lead had expanded to 24 points, and Jogel quickly switched back to the main lineup.
He also saw that Udrih was useless on both offense and defense.
Smith said:
"Who remembers what the Warriors were like six years ago? Coach Z transformed this team. He is one of the greatest head coaches in NBA history, and that's just what he accomplished in six years. I don't know where the limit of this Warriors team is, we may be witnessing the greatest show in NBA history!"
Antetokounmpo signed his name on his jersey, on his shoes, on Anthony's jersey, and then touched Anthony's head:
Phil Jackson, who coached the Bulls to 72 wins, also posted a tweet:
"Congratulations to the Warriors. Congratulations to Coach Z, Steve, and Curry. The journey to 73 wins is an unbelievably great achievement. Your performance is very memorable."
Anthony's eyes widened, and he nodded like a chicken pecking rice:
"I don't dislike it, I... I'm very happy, thank you, Giannis!"
"Anthony, if you don't mind, I will give you this jersey and my sneakers."
Before the game, Zhang Yu announced that the playing time of the main players would be limited. The fans at the scene had been prepared and were not disappointed.
Antetokounmpo came to the sidelines, looked left and right, and suddenly, a childish voice came from the side:
"Hey Giannis, I'm here!"
He didn't know Jordan Adams at all, he didn't know his technical characteristics, but after thinking about it for a while, he came up with a way to deal with it.
After the timeout, the two teams returned to the field and the game continued.
"Why does Curry get the mvp? The Warriors were second in the Western Conference last season, and this season they are first in the Western Conference, and their ranking has risen by one. James has brought the Cavaliers from the bottom two in the East to the second in the East. Isn't it much better than Curry? "
"Yeah, Stephen, we won!"
"But the Grizzlies have no other point guards, and Jogel has to think about whether to change Udrih back." Yu Jia said.
Green sent the baseline ball, Curry dribbled the ball across half court, and handed it to Leonard.
"Thank you for coming to my game, Anthony."
Even though Jokic continued to attack in the low post, assisted and scored, the Warriors still had the upper hand, expanding their lead little by little.
Veteran fans *** did not forget to express their love for the Warriors:
"Congratulations to the Warriors. This is a group of great people on and off the court. If a team had to break the Bulls' legendary record, I'm glad it was them."
After he came on the field, he immediately punished the Warriors for the shorting, and made two consecutive three-pointers, narrowing the point difference to 12 points.
……
"Although the Warriors have broken the record, I guarantee that the Warriors will never win the championship. Whether it is the Bulls or the Cavaliers, they can cause a lot of trouble for the Warriors..."
"Oh, Anthony, why did you run so far alone!"
Afterwards, he took the little boy's hand, and the two walked up the stairs. Antetokounmpo watched their figures, and did not sit down until he was at the back of the second stand.
Anthony nodded slightly, and the smile on the Asian man's face became even stronger:
"Thank you, Giannis, our seats are on the top, we will go back first, I wish you a good performance tonight!"
The round changed, Gasol Jr. received the ball from the free throw line, and the rest of the Grizzlies pulled away. Gasol turned around and singled Asik face-to-face.
The round changed, and the Grizzlies continued to attack Randolph in the low post. Leonard immediately came up to flank, Randolph gave Jeff Green, Clay rushed towards him, and Jeff Green gave Udry again.
The two come and go, Jokic assists the opponent and hits a three-pointer, Antetokounmpo sends a block; Jokic plays with a back, the dream footsteps sway Olynik, hits a hook, and Antetokounmpo After the pick-and-roll, Kumbo and Dinwiddie caught the ball and passed Gallinari, strode into the penalty area and dunked successfully.
……
Antetokounmpo scored 4 points and 2 assists. After a season of training, his passing is getting better and better, and he can handle four-on-three situations with ease.
Reggie Miller praised:
"Curry is the number one shooter in NBA history. After this game, he made 380 three-pointers, breaking the record of 365 three-pointers created by himself last season. This is really crazy!"
"Jiu Leu Yu, don't come out and be ashamed. Brother Yu understands very well that 73 wins is not the end, winning the championship is the goal!"
"The Warriors changed their defense and started pinching Jordan Adams. Now it's time to test his handling of the ball. If he can't get the ball to Gasol and Randolph, the Grizzlies' offense will be difficult to develop." Yang Yi said .
"It took just over 3 minutes to play, and the Warriors led by 12 points. The Grizzlies' offense and defense had big problems. Conley is really important to the Grizzlies." Yang Yi said.
"He has a congenital heart disease and cannot exercise vigorously..." Anthony's father whispered.
On the field, the Warriors sent a sideline kick, and Curry and Antetokounmpo played a pick-and-roll. Randolph didn't dare to squat anymore, and came up to delay Curry's shot.
Gasol's footsteps are not fast, but he is still better than Asik. After a shake, he breaks through on the right, half a body ahead of Asik, enters the penalty area, and comes to the basket and raises his hand to feint. , received the ball and turned around, hit the hook, 5:2.
In order to compete with the Spurs for the sixth ranking, Jogel has already played this game as a playoff, shortening the rotation and greatly increasing the playing time of the main players.
"Didn't we agree that if we win this game, we will take a rest next game?" Cole was taken aback.
In the second quarter, the Warriors replaced the full bench lineup, the Nuggets rotated normally, and the Warriors continued to expand their lead.
……
The two came to the field and joined the celebration.
Neutral fans were also impressed by the Warriors' toughness:
Curry lobbed to Antetokounmpo who was going down, Gasol came up to help defend, Antetokounmpo threw the ball into the sky, Asik jumped high, smashed the ball into the basket with one hand, 32:14.
Zhang Yu waved his hand vigorously, then stroked his wet hair, took off his wrinkled pants in embarrassment, and ran to take a bath amidst laughter.
Zhang Yu was the person who was poured the most champagne, and finally caught a chance to make him "make a fool of himself". The players who are usually intimidated by his "pretentious power" will never let go of this good opportunity.
For the Warriors, the regular season is actually over, and tomorrow's game against the Nuggets is just a celebration.
"Hey, Harden worked hard. The Rockets only won 55 games, 18 games less than the Warriors, and the gap from second to tenth in the Western Conference is even bigger. How will they play in the playoffs?"
"Today is a day we will always remember. We won 73 wins, broke the record, and are the strongest regular season team in NBA history. I am proud of you! But this is not the end, we still have one more important The goal has not been achieved, I don't want to be said to be the runner-up with 73 wins, how about you?"
The next day, the Warriors, who had celebrated all night at the nightclub, returned to the Bay Area, and Zhang Yu gave the team a day off.
During the timeout, the Warriors players returned to the bench. Zhang Yu took the tactical board, drew the position of each player on it, and said loudly:
In the second half, the Warriors started with a full bench lineup, and the Nuggets' main lineup debuted, and the intensity of the game gradually increased.
There were also applause and cheers in the auditorium of the FedEx Arena.
But soon, he changed his mind.
"Hahaha, 73 wins, no one before, no one in the future, awesome!"
"Yes! Please, Giannis, Anthony likes you very much. The room is covered with posters of you. He bought this jersey with his own housework and saved money. He cherishes it very much and only wears it when watching games... …The Asian man pulls out a marker and hands it to Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo was like a tiger coming out of the cage, blasting the Nuggets' substitute insider Jeffrey Lowenji one-on-one, and succeeded in consecutive breakthroughs.
In the next round, Clay made an air cut layup and was fanned out of the baseline by Gasol Jr., and the game entered an official timeout. Zhang Yu changed his defensive strategy:
Jogel struggled again, and the main lineup narrowed the point difference to 4 points in 21 minutes. The speed of chasing points was very fast, but time was not enough.
Now, Jogel couldn't sit still. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he replaced Udrih with Jordan Adams, the No. 28 rookie in the second round who had only played 22 times this season.
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded behind Antetokounmpo. He turned around and found that it was a thin Asian boy about 10 years old.
But it didn't work. The Warriors have the deepest lineup in the league. Zhang Yu also deliberately let Leonard and Green take the bench. Compared with the starting lineup, the defense is not inferior at all.
On April 4th, at 15 pm, the Warriors played against the Nuggets at home.
……
On each seat, there is a gift box. After opening, there are random gifts for warriors, including hats, gloves, scarves, dolls, etc., which are exquisitely made. Nearly 50 gifts are worth more than [-] US dollars.
In the fourth quarter, the Warriors relied on the advantage of the lineup to open up the offensive space, while Jokic and Gallinari were not good at defending. Distribute to teammates to drive the Warriors to attack as a whole.
"Stephen, well done! Just play like this later, play pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, attack directly when you have the opportunity, try to go to the center, 10 points advantage is not enough. The defensive end needs to be adjusted, Stephen, you go against Courtney -Lee, Klay, you go to Udrih, but don't worry about him, he has no offensive ability, as long as Randolph and Gasol play singles in the interior, you shrink and attack..."
Jokic caught the basketball and followed his gaze, only to see a 4-year-old Caucasian girl in the fourth row of auditorium, wearing the Nuggets No. 10 jersey, waving at him excitedly.
……
The defense of the two teams is not good. The Warriors are due to the players paddling, and the Nuggets are due to lack of strength.
If Conley is not injured, the Grizzlies can still deal with the Warriors, but Conley can't play, the Grizzlies cut off their own arm, and there is almost no outside threat. They can only rely on Randolph and Gasol to attack the Warriors inside. Against the Warriors.
"The Warriors blocked Jordan Adams' passing route. Jogel can no longer let him hold the ball. He shoots accurately, but he can't handle the ball. He can only be used as a spot-up shooter." Yang Yi said.
But Curry, like every game in the past, came to Zhang Yu, hugged him, and shouted:
But the Warriors fans at the scene did not notice this seemingly harmless white center. Their attention was all on the Warriors, cheering for every goal the Warriors scored.
Maddie said:
The whistle sounded and Grizzlies coach Dave Jogel called a timeout.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 106:101 and won the last regular season game at the Oracle Center, with a record of 74 wins and 8 losses.
But just like what Zhang Yu said to Cole, he doesn't care about winning or losing this game, and the fans don't care either. They just want to celebrate the Warriors breaking the record at home.
At eight o'clock, the game officially started, and the atmosphere in the Oracle Center reached its climax at this moment.
This plan has been unanimously approved by the whole team. The starters can take turns and will not miss this commemorative celebration. The substitutes will have more playing time. Everyone is happy.
"I'm going right now!"
The ticket price for this game has at least doubled compared to usual, but after it went on sale, it was still sold out quickly.
After the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies and broke the 72-win record, public opinion was completely detonated.
However, apart from him at the point guard position, the Grizzlies only have Jordan Adams and Russ Smith as two drinking fountain administrators. Jogel really has no one to use, so he can only keep him on the court.
The Grizzlies attacked, and Uderian played a pick-and-roll with Gasol according to Jogel's arrangement. As a result, Asik squatted, and Clay walked off the line to screen and let him shoot directly.
Moreover, Zhang Yu equipped Antetokounmpo with Dinwiddie, Olynyk, Danny Green, and Middleton as four space points. Keech is more efficient.
Jordan Adams can make an open three-pointer, but Zhang Yu doesn't believe that he can still handle the ball, otherwise Jogel couldn't have kept Conley looking at the water cooler after he was injured.
And he was surrounded by Wiggins and Clay, and he couldn't see where the others were. He could only hold the ball in his arms, struggling hard, trying to avoid the pressure of the two, and accidentally moved his supporting foot, which was blocked by the referee. Calling a walking violation, the ball came to the Warriors.
Zhang Yu waited another 2 minutes and changed players according to the regular time. The Grizzlies took the opportunity to narrow the point difference to less than 20 points.
Although there were no fireworks flying all over the sky, or the golden ocean of the Oracle Center, this did not prevent everyone from expressing their joy.
Jokic played very well, but Antetokounmpo has a combination of offense and defense and has a greater influence on the game.
"No..." Antetokounmpo kept dribbling the ball in his hand, shook his head, and looked at the little boy, "Anthony, can you wait for me after the game? I have a gift for you. "
After Jokic made a mid-range shot, looking at the crazy Warriors fans, a trace of envy emerged in the bottom of his heart. If he was selected by the Warriors, he is now a member of the audience cheering...
The little boy stood on the sidelines, raised his head, and looked at Antetokounmpo timidly. He was wearing the Warriors' No. 34 jersey, his hands were twisted, and his big eyes were full of tension.
"This kind of big cross pass is too dangerous. Both Alphabet and Wiggins have long wingspans. Such a pass will be broken!" Yu Jia said.
On the court, the Grizzlies attacked, Jordan Adams dribbled the ball just after halftime, and the Warriors came up with a flank.
"Translate for me, what the fuck is called fucking invincible!"
The Warriors team celebrated wildly for a long time before slowly stopping. Zhang Yu vigorously wiped a handful of champagne with bubbles on his face, and said loudly amidst the suffocating aroma:
"Okay, stop for a while! Cough cough, there will be interviews later, Stephen, Clay, Drummond, Kawhi... and Giannis, go take a shower!"
Jokic is the one who played the best for the Nuggets Pearl. He made 4 of 3 shots, scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, with a high efficiency.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm just joking, we've already broken the record, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose the next game..."
Yang Yi looked at Curry, who was shaking his shoulders and dancing on the court, with a smile on his face, and said loudly:
"Curry scored 8 points in a row and stopped the Grizzlies. He is going to win the 73rd victory today and surpass Jordan!"
At this moment, an Asian man in his 30s ran over and smiled apologetically at Antetokounmpo:
"Sorry, Giannis, did he bother you warming up?"
"Junior Gasol is in good form today. He put together a front board from Asik's head, and his footsteps under the basket are also very beautiful. He suppressed Asik. The Grizzlies can only rely on him and Lando if they want to win. Husband." Yu Jia said.
Antetokounmpo waved at the little boy, looked away, and devoted himself to training.
Anthony held Antetokounmpo's jersey and sneakers, and said loudly:
"Giannis, I'm going to be a man like you, and I'm going to play in the NBA!"
But among the many praises, there are still discordant voices, Buckley (Note) said firmly:
Antetokounmpo scored 27 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 steal. Jokic had 25 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 2 steals. The two complemented each other. They achieved similar data in completely different ways and became today's protagonists. .
"Great, you're a little man now."
"Well! I exercise, you win the championship, you do what you say!"
"Then you can't be lazy, how about this, when we reach the finals, I invite you to watch the game, how about it?"
"Okay, I will cheer for you!"
Note: Barkley really said so at the time.
