I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 242 Closing
How many years has it been since no team has won 70+ games in the league?

To put it bluntly, apart from the 72 wins and 10 losses of the peak Bulls led by the old hooligans, there is no second team in the league that has a record of more than 70 wins.

And this season, there are actually two teams that are likely to win 70+ games.

When Li Ran was interviewed before the game, he vowed that he would not take the record to heart, and what he had to do was to lead the team to go further in the playoffs.

However, according to that sentence, men are big pigs.

In the game against the Magic at night, he robbed Howard abruptly in the paint.

Howard scored only 8 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks.

而最近状态爆棚的李然，硬是在霍华德头顶上拿下32分17篮板1助攻6盖帽3抢断。

If Carter hadn't scored 26 points, the Magic would have lost ugly.

And this season, in the competition for the rebounding champion, Li Ran finally did not miss another chance. He firmly held Howard down. If nothing else happened, the rebounding champion was already in Li Ran's pocket.

Next, the Grizzlies will face the top three in Texas one after another.

Home against Mosaic, away against the Mavericks, away against the Spurs back-to-back.

Playing mosaics is safe and secure. After all, without Yao Ming, Kevin Martin, Scola and Ariza alone cannot pose any threat to the Grizzlies. Li Ran and Kirilenko locked up Kevin Martin respectively. With Tiezha, the average shooting percentage of the two is just over 30.
In the second game against the Mavericks, Kirilenko also perfectly defended Nowitzki. Although the German king scored a game-high 26 points, he got it with just 4% shooting.

The Mavericks, who almost relied solely on Nuo Tianwang to score points, also lost the game.

However, next, the Grizzlies lost to the Spurs in back-to-back away games.

28 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks. This is the data Deng Daidai handed over.

Li Ran and Kirilenko took turns to fight, but they couldn't guard against the expressionless big man.

The two of them could only watch Duncan use the most unpretentious movements to take off the rebound again and again and send the ball into the basket, but there was nothing they could do.

It seems that Duncan is also warming up for the playoffs in advance.

In this match, Li Ran truly experienced the demeanor of the flying devil in Wake Forest back then.

It needs to be explained that the NBA has never been a game of piling up stars. The mosaics of Barkley, Drexler, and Olajuwon back then, the later Blazers, the Lakers F4 at the beginning of the century, and later Howard, Nash, Gasol and Kobe's Lakers, as well as the old man's teams, were able to win the championship successfully, and it can even be said that only James succeeded.

If a team wants to win the championship, the players need to perform their duties, coupled with the tactical cooperation of the coach, and the unity of the whole team, this is the real way to win.

After losing to the Spurs, the Grizzlies have lost 12 games.

This means that if they want to get 70 wins, they need to win all the remaining three games.

However, the numbers in the next game and the Thunder in the last game are okay. In the penultimate game, the Grizzlies will challenge the mighty Nuggets away.

The Nuggets have won 70 wins, and they are now 70 wins and 10 losses. Regardless of whether they win or lose the remaining two games, they have pre-booked the first place in the regular season this season.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the end-of-season battle between the Grizzlies and the Nuggets, the Grizzlies accidentally overturned at home. . .

They unexpectedly lost to the numbers 120-109.

Maris Speights, a digital substitute and the first champion of the Warriors, scored 21 points and 22 rebounds in 5 minutes, Jody Meeks, who was also a substitute, scored 26 points in 14 minutes, and Willie Green scored 14 points in 12 minutes , Rodney Carney scored 20 points in 14 minutes, and three of the main players scored in double figures. A total of 7 players scored in double figures. The number man overturned the Grizzlies in the away game and broke their dream of 70 wins ahead of schedule. .

Originally, the remaining few games would not affect the regular season rankings. Calipari simply did not do anything, and used injuries as an excuse to rotate most of the main players in the game against the Nuggets.

Kirilenko, Canada and Randolph didn't even go to Denver with the team.

Li Ran started the game with Curry, Ke Lu, Alian and Millsap.

On the other side, George Karl also rotated some players, Anthony, Billups and O'Neal watched from the sidelines, Conley, JR, OJ-Mayo, Rudy Gay, Gortat started.

In the end, the Grizzlies had the last laugh.

李然砍下31分15篮板，库里29分5篮板8助攻，双子星合砍60分。

In the last game, the Grizzlies defeated Durant in their home court with a clean victory, drawing a fairly satisfactory end to the regular season of this season.

69 wins and 13 losses, second only to the Nuggets with 71 wins and 11 losses, second in the Western Conference and second in the league.

At the same time, the playoff list is also released.

From first to eighth in the West are the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Lakers, Mavericks, Spurs, Jazz, Trail Blazers and Thunder.

The first to eighth in the East are the Cavaliers, Magic, Eagles, Celtics, Heat, Bucks, Bulls, and Bobcats.

The Grizzlies will face the Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs.

That means they're almost guaranteed a second-round walk.

Because at the end of the regular season, Huang Mamba Brandon Roy underwent surgery on his right knee because of a torn meniscus in his right knee.

In order to return to the game as soon as possible, the Blazers finally decided to let Roy remove some residual cartilage in the meniscus. .

That's why the team is paradoxically claiming he'll only miss 4-6 weeks

However, whether he can catch up with the Grizzlies in the first round still has a big question mark.

With Roy, the Blazers may not be able to beat the Grizzlies in the series.

What's more, even if Roy comes back from the front line, it's hard to say how much strength he will have left after knee surgery just last night.

In this case, 99% of fans will not think that the Blazers have any chance of winning.

What Li Ran knew better was that Roy, who was so prosperous, began to decline. He underwent surgery to remove two menisci in the next season.

At the end of the next season, Roy's knee suffered from arthritis, and the Trail Blazers team doctor revealed that Roy's knee had no cartilage, and the direct collision between the leg bones was the main reason for Roy's arthritis. At the same time, if Roy continues to play basketball, his knee will never heal.

Only one year later, Roy announced his retirement. Since then, there has been no legend of the Yellow Mamba in the world.

Throughout his career, Roy has undergone 7 major knee surgeries, and since 2010, one major surgery per year has become a necessity for Roy to continue his career.

Because of injuries, the Trail Blazers Trident, which was once infinitely expected, has become one of the saddest "possibles" in NBA history.
