Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 140 The end of the regular season, the opponent Rockets in the first round!

The time has come to April. After holding the No. [-] position in the Western Conference, the Sonics no longer need to continue to devote energy to every game. Protecting the body while playing the game and preparing for the playoffs are what Carlisle is most interested in currently. thing.

The Sonics also know a piece of news that is not good for them. After the return of Big Dream, the Rockets lost to the Sonics and won a wave of three consecutive victories. They are about to surpass the Lakers and get the eighth place in the Western Conference.

The Lakers are different from several other teams. Los Angeles fans don't accept the Lakers' poor performance, no matter what reason or reason.

However, the Lakers without Perkins in this life are really bad. During the bad dream, they once overtook the Rockets and reached eighth in the Western Conference. When the big dream was not there, the Rockets had 12 games and 10 losses. It's so bad, but the Lakers couldn't widen the gap with the Rockets, and the Rockets chased them back in a few games.

If the supersonic speed encounters a rocket in the first round, there is a certain probability of overturning.

Seeing that Big Dream is getting more and more powerful recently, Carlisle is also thinking about whether to give the Lakers a hand so that they have a chance to hold the eighth place in the Western Conference. No matter what the Lakers say, they are not as strong as the Rockets. Playing the Lakers in rounds is definitely a good thing for the Sonics.

In the last 9 regular season games, Carlisle significantly reduced Lu Feng's playing time. Perkins, Harper and Clifford became the team's main players instead, and Burrows also played to a certain extent.

Lu Feng oscillated in positions [-], [-], and [-], playing more and more relaxed.

In the absence of psychological pressure, Lu Feng does not need to juggle multiple tasks, and he can play off the ball without the ball. Unless the game is intense, he will consider playing with the ball in the last quarter.

Playing like this, Lu Feng also deeply understood what Jordan said, "It's not difficult to get a high score".

In each game, Lu Feng only needs to make 2-3 long-range shots in each quarter, break through layups and dunk a few times, make a few three-pointers, and add free throws to easily score 30 points.

The impact of playing off the ball on Lu Feng is: no fewer points, fewer rebounds and assists.

The decrease in rebounds and assists is essentially because Lu Feng was fishing for fish and didn't go all out to play seriously. If he wanted to, he would have a chance to get a triple-double even without the ball.

In the last 9 games, the Sonics will play against the Lakers twice. Carlisle wanted to give these two games to the Lakers, but unexpectedly, before the two teams met, the Lakers had already been overtaken by the Rockets, and they were playing against the Sonics. Before hand, the Lakers played home and away against the Rockets, all of which were won by the Rockets, and the net victory was reduced by two games!

The water ghosts also discovered the nature of the Lakers' strong outsiders, but they frequently attacked the Lakers. As a result, the Lakers were dragged into the water by the water ghosts again and again, leaving Carlisle speechless.

Of course, Supersonic also encountered water ghosts who wanted to take a shot at Supersonic, but when they encountered those real big fish, Supersonic didn't need Lu Feng to be serious, and they could win with the strength of others without overturning.

At the end of the season, there are only two difficult games for the Sonics, one against the Suns and one against the Warriors.

In the last match against the Suns in the regular season, Lu Feng thought that the Suns would win this game. As a result, Kevin Johnson and Hornacek pulled their hips at the same time, and Terry Porter did not explode. This game won the game. The ease imagined by supersonic speed.

After defeating the Suns, the Sonics lost their final regular-season game against the Warriors.

This season, the upper half of the Western Conference is in chaos. Except for the Supersonics who have secured the first place in the Western Conference and have won 62 wins and 17 losses, the second, third and fourth in the Western Conference have not been decided until now.

开拓者55胜24负、爵士54胜25负、勇士54胜25负……三支球队直到现在还在为季后赛主场优势而努力，打得不可开交。

But the situation of these three teams has little to do with the Supersonics. The Supersonics should play or how to play. After losing to the Warriors, the Supersonics had no defeat in the regular season, and finally ended the regular season schedule with 65 wins and 17 losses.

The 91-92 NBA regular season also came to an end and came to an end.

After the regular season, the league first announced the ownership of the best player award in the last month of the season.

Jordan finally won the player of the month award for the first month of this season, but the best month alone may not be able to stop the critics. After all, the Bulls only had 10 games in April, and the schedule was only half. Jia's gold content is obviously not as good as in previous months.

But in any case, the Bulls won all 4 games in April, and there is no dispute about the ownership of this award.

Jordan's personal data is not a problem, averaging 38 minutes per game, 31.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8.1 assists, and he also staged two lore in 10 games, winning the Cavaliers and Celtics in the finals.

After the regular season, the performance of the Bulls aroused heated discussions in the media, because their Bulls achieved a record of 69 wins and 13 losses this season, and almost won 70 wins.

There is only one win away, and judging from the strength shown by the Bulls, they must have a chance to win 70 wins, but they didn't get it for various reasons.

"This is enough. Whether it is 70 wins or 69 wins, it has no effect on us. Anyway, we are the first in the league!"

The Bulls did not get 70 wins, and the media felt a little regretful, but then again, the Bulls seem to be able to continue to get stronger, and maybe they will get 70 wins next season.

And the Bulls are not the only teams that have a chance to win 70 wins. The Sonics also have a chance to win 70 wins. Looking at it this way, this year's playoffs are indeed worth looking forward to.

After the announcement of the best player in the last month, the league then announced the king of every stat.

First of all, of course, is the most anticipated scoring champion, and the final winner is-Michael Jordan!

乔丹常规赛出战82场，场均拿到30.4分、6.4篮板、6.1助攻，三项命中率为54.8%、38.4%、84.8%。

It is worth mentioning that Lu Feng also played 82 games and averaged 30.4 points per game. According to league statistics, Lu Feng scored 2492 points this season, and Jordan scored a total of... 2493 points.

That's right, Jordan has 1 point more than Lu Feng!
This is actually quite normal. The Sonics ended the regular season early, and all games were played on April 4. When the Sonics finished the regular season, the Bulls had the last two games left.

Jordan scored 1 point more than Lu Feng, and Lu Feng could easily accept this result. Jordan's 32 points in the last game are not counted as scoring points. After all, the opponent is the Pistons he hates the most. Shouldn't he win by 20 points?
After Lu Feng knew about this, he was speechless. Although he never thought of competing with Jordan for the scoring title this season, it is really disgusting to only have one more point.

And the most important thing is that Lu Feng still has no way to disgust him. After all, Jordan only scored 32 points in the last game, which is not a big score.

After the scoring champion, the league immediately announced the season rebounding champion.

There is no dispute about this award, and of course it belongs to the god-man who completely let go of himself-"Flower Bug" Rodman!

This season Rodman played 82 games with full attendance, averaged 40.3 minutes per game, scored 10.1 points, 18.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Rodman's rebounds were not moisture, and of the 18.7 rebounds, the frontcourt rebounds averaged 6.4 per game, exceeding the backcourt rebounds. half of.

After Hua Da Chong started to let himself go, for a long time in the future, other insiders in the league can bid farewell to the award of rebounding king, and it is basically impossible to snatch him.

After that is the assists leader, this award belongs to Stockton of the Jazz, averaging 13.7 assists per game is also difficult to catch up, not to mention that in addition to assists, Stockton also averaged 16 points and 3 steals per game.

The blocked shot king belongs to David Robinson. His average of 4.5 blocked shots per game was his last peak before he decided to gain weight.

In the end, it was the steals king. Lu Feng finally got his own honor, averaging 3 steals per game, 82 times in 249 games, surpassing Stockton's 82 times in 245 games.

In the second season of his career, Lu Feng won his first regular award in his career. Although he was not the scoring leader, the stealing leader was not too bad.

Ranked second in scoring and first in steals, after winning the steals title, the media finally began to pay attention to Lu Feng's defensive strength. Lu Feng's current label is not only scoring. In the media, he has become an all-round star with both offense and defense.

More importantly, in the regular season MVP simulation list, Lu Feng and Jordan have always been ranked first and second, and no one can pose a threat to the two.

NBC is optimistic about Jordan, and the simulated list puts Jordan first and Lu Feng second, while CBS and ABC are all reversed, putting Lu Feng first and Jordan second... As for who can win the MVP , the media can be described as noisy.

"Regardless of whether Rucker can get the MVP in the end, if he can enter such a discussion, he has already succeeded. Don't forget that he is still half a year away from turning 19, and Michael will be 30 soon. How long can he stop Rucker ?”

When Lu Feng and Jordan competed for the MVP, the most upset must be the veteran stars in the league. Many of them have never won the MVP, but Lu Feng, a young man, actually walked ahead of them.

Dameng, Malone, Barkley, Draxler... Many stars who can be counted as the same generation as Jordan were all left behind by Jordan, both in terms of grades and honors.

In the end, before they caught up with Jordan, Lu Feng, a junior, came from behind and overtook them. Of course, this group of people couldn't accept it.

But it doesn't work if you don't accept it, because the Supersonic's record is here. If you want to express dissatisfaction, you have to look at your own team leadership performance before talking.

After the regular season, the East and West playoff lists are freshly released, and each team is studying its opponents, including the Sonics.

On the west side, the top eight regular season players are: Sonics, Trail Blazers, Jazz, Warriors, Suns, Clippers, Spurs, Rockets.

The Sonics ranked first with 65 wins, the Trail Blazers ranked second with 58 wins, the Jazz and Warriors both won 57, and after a tie, the results of the two teams played against each other determined that the Jazz were third in the West and the Warriors fourth in the West.

Contrary to what Lu Feng remembered, after Dameng pretended to be sick in this life, the Rockets still made it to the playoffs. The main reason was of course that the Lakers themselves stretched their hips and didn't seize the opportunity.

But in any case, the Rockets made it to the playoffs and will play the Sonics in the first round. This is definitely bad news for the Sonics.

From the perspective of the Sonics, the Clippers, Spurs and Suns are much easier to play than the Rockets, but since the result has been determined, the Sonics can only accept it.

The four matchups in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs are: Seattle SuperSonics VS Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers VS San Antonio Spurs, Utah Jazz VS Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors VS Phoenix Suns.

The top eight in the Eastern regular season are: Bulls, Cavaliers, Knicks, Celtics, Pacers, Pistons, Bullets and Heat.

The four matchups are: Chicago Bulls VS Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers VS Washington Bullets, New York Knicks VS Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics VS Indiana Pacers.

Carlisle kept studying the Rockets video, especially the video after the return of Big Dream. The Rockets' tactics are very simple, and Carlisle studied the video a few times.

After figuring out the Rockets' tactics, Carlisle knew that the best way to defeat the Rockets was to limit Dameng. Of course, the biggest problem was how to limit Dameng.

After carefully studying the video of the Rockets, Carlisle had to admit that the only way to deal with Dameng was to double-team and consume. Doing anything else was futile. No one could guard against Dameng's attack, and his scoring was unsolvable.

Just when Carlisle was at a loss, he suddenly remembered that there was a person in the supersonic who was very familiar with Dameng technology.

Soon, Carlisle found the team doctor and found Sampson's latest physical examination results.

The results of Sampson's physical examination can be described as appalling, and all kinds of data express one meaning: it is recommended to retire!
However, although Sampson was plagued by injuries, Carlisle felt that if the opponent only taught the Sonics' inside players to defend, it should not be a big problem. No matter how tired the trainer was, he could not be as tired as the players playing on the court.

As a result, during the training, Carlisle found that although Sampson had many old problems and his athletic ability was basically degraded to 0, his experience was not comparable to other Supersonics. He taught many things that other Supersonics could not learn at all. meeting.

Lu Feng learned about the situation from Carlisle, so he asked directly: "Why don't we just let Ralph play?

No matter how hard other people practice, it is impossible to know Hakim better than him, right? "

Carlisle frowned, and then whispered the results of Ralph's physical examination to Lu Feng. Lu Feng roughly understood Carlisle's concerns.

But in Lu Feng's view, Carlisle's worries are completely unnecessary. Anyway, no matter who the Supersonic uses, it is impossible to prevent Dameng. Why not try Sampson?
Furthermore, the degeneration of Sampson's athletic ability actually has little impact on his defense. Sampson is a traditional insider who is used to squatting under the basket. The most serious degeneration of him is actually offense.

Lu Feng told Carlisle his method, and then said:
"We're not looking for a defender who can guard Hakim, there's no such thing as that!
Superstars cannot be prevented from death, they can only be restricted. We only need to find someone who makes Hakim uncomfortable, and that is enough.

There is no need to worry about our lack of offensive firepower. At worst, I can take a few more shots. The rest time in the playoffs is enough for me, and there will be no physical problems. "

The Rockets are stronger than Dream, but the biggest problem is that there is only one Dream. As long as the Supersonics can make Dameng uncomfortable, the Rockets' offense will have problems.

Lu Feng directly stopped Sampson's training session, and asked him, "Ralph, can you still start now?"

Sampson knew that he was going to play in the playoffs, or he was going to start, and he almost laughed out loud.

He doesn't have many chances to play now, and his contract is only until the end of this season. Sampson is ready to finish this season and go to Europe to make money. He doesn't think there are any teams in the league who can take a fancy to him.

He didn't expect that he would be so lucky. He played Dameng in the first round of the playoffs, and Kemp happened to be injured and couldn't play... Dameng really is his good brother. Seeing that his brother's development is not going well, he gave him such a chance.

Sampson patted his chest, and said boldly: "Don't worry, Lark, no one knows Hakim better than me!
If Hakeem gets more than 35 points, I will retire directly! "

Lu Feng: ...

If I remember correctly, Ralph retired in the past two years, so what he said is equivalent to nonsense.

Carlisle is looking forward to the confidence shown by Sampson.

Now in this league, no one dares to say that he can defend the big dream below 35 points every game. He does not expect Sampson to be able to defend the big dream every game. As long as he can limit one or two games, for the supersonic Posen is worth the money, not a junk contract.

On April 4, the NBA playoffs officially started. There is no doubt that the game between the Sonics and the Rockets is the finale of the first day of the playoffs.

Before the game, the Supersonics fans were very worried. If Kemp was not there, would there be a problem for the Supersonics to play against the Rockets?

Ralph Sampson?He is still supersonic?
Not to mention the fans, even Dameng looked confused.

"Ralph, you haven't retired yet?"

Dameng couldn't figure out why the Sonics dared to let a semi-retired Sampson start, and let the opponent come and abdicate with him.

But no matter what, if the Supersonic dared to do this, Dameng dared to teach the Supersonic a lesson.

Don't say that Sampson is his big brother. No matter how good the off-court relationship is, they are opponents on the court. Don't say that he and Sampson are just ordinary friends. When brothers meet on the court, they should use small tricks Use it too!
After making a decision in his heart, Dameng also directly uttered bold words to Sampson: "I will score 50 points on you in this game!"

Sampson: ...

Brother Jie is so impolite, you actually want me to retire early?
Sure enough, it is not clean up!
Although he wanted to teach Dameng how to be a man, Sampson was old and weak. Now he has no ability to score in front of Dameng. From the jump ball, Sampson lost to Dameng without any accident.

The Rockets took the lead, slowly walked one step inside the three-point line, and turned their backs to their teammates for the ball.

Dameng played so aggressively as soon as he came up, and Lu Feng was also on guard at all times, waiting for Sampson to fill in the moment he failed to guard against Dameng.

But what Lu Feng didn't expect was that the two never entered the penalty area at all. After a few confrontations, Dameng didn't shake Sampson away and forced a shot. Sampson's defense was in place without any problems.

"Backboard!"

The man was still flying in the air, and Sampson yelled out loudly, firmly believing that it was impossible for Dameng to make the ball.

Hearing Sampson's words, Lu Feng reflexively retreated into the inside position and easily scored a backcourt rebound.

From the kick-off to Lu Feng grabbing the rebound, although it was only the first ball, Lu Feng was surprised by the confidence shown by Sampson. The veteran is indeed a veteran, and Sampson's defense does have something.

When it was the supersonic's turn to attack, Lu Feng used his teammate's off-ball pick-and-roll to break through directly. Even though Barros's pass was in place, although Lu Feng threw off the defender, Dameng's defense was also in place, and he immediately moved laterally to block it. In front of Lu Feng.

Just when Lu Feng was hesitating whether to start the game and give Dameng a strong shot, he saw that Sampson immediately cut into the penalty area at the moment of Dameng's defense...

There are people in front of and behind Dameng. The front and back of Dameng are men. For a while, I don’t know who to defend. After hesitating in the moment of attack, Dameng decides to defend Sampson in the penalty area. After all, how can Sampson be in the basket? It seems that the threat is greater than Lu Feng.

At the moment when he made a decision, Lu Feng made a decisive shot and successfully scored a mid-range jumper with the ball on the move, scoring the first goal of the game!
Between attack and defense, Sampson's choices are eye-catching, and Lu Feng has a feeling that the Supersonics are probably going to win this game!

　Exam today and tomorrow, adjust the biological clock, and update the time in the morning!
